I have a Warn 2.5ci winch on the RTV. I had to take the winch off for service (after burning up the motor; Warn stepped up and replaced the windings without any question even though I caused the damage). Because the wire was spooled out when it fried, I took it off before shipping the winch...

The RTV review in the August issue of "ATV Illustrated" says that "The RTV 900 has one-, two- or four-wheel-drive," and says that the 2WD setting is only 2WD when the diff lock is activated. This doesn't make sense to me (although I do know that some UVs do have 1WD to minimize turf damage)...

I've been negotiating with the chief for a Ranger for about four years with impressive resistance--"we only have 36 acres and those things are way too loud and do too much damage and you just can't have one and and and." I wore down the opposition this spring, however, and was looking hard at...

\"Tractor rolls into pond, drowning man\" This terrible story from the Cincinnati Enquirer this morning: TURTLECREEK TOWNSHIP - A man drowned when a tractor he was driving rolled over into a farm pond and trapped him, police said. John J. Sommer, 74, was mowing his lawn shortly before 8...

We have a fairly good-sized creek running through the bottom of our land. This is a picture of it a week ago, followed by one an hour ago . . .

I have a little Homelite AP125 2-cycle water pump, which is now two years old. It's been a great machine, especially for the $185 it cost at TSC. It's probably seen 150-200 hours' use (sems like a lot, thinking about chainsaw and trimmer usage), as we've done a lot of grass and garden watering...

If you\'re Hindu . . . We've recently experienced the receiving end of racism. Our next-door neighbor is a Hindu temple. They have about 110 acres and a building which is maybe 6,000 SF on two levels. They are excellent neighbors; last year they allowed us an easement across their frontage...

I finally bought the 3-point splitter I've thought about for awhile, and have a question about the hydraulic setup on my TC33D. The rear remote is controlled by a lever which returns to center (closed) after being moved either fore or aft. The splitter, of course, has its own hydraulic lever...

The recent coyote discussion has got me thinking about food chains, predators, native species vs. imports and the like. A lot of my "rural living" time right now is spent learning and attempting pond/lake management, and I've got a warning for pond owners about triploid grass carp (White Amur)...

I'm coming up on the anniversary of buying my '33D, and am getting literature from NH regarding their extended powertrain warranty. The brochure, natch, says nothing about duration or cost. My assumption is always that extended warranties only cover what won't break, but I wondered if any of...

I spent the afternoon yanking about 2 loader-buckets full of filamentous algae out of the pond. OK, I confess the obvious--too much time on my hands--but the city friends don't like swimming in green goo. Anyway, I've read that it can be used for compost, but the reference was vague. My...

Folks-- My next door neighbor looked across the fence last night at my FEL sitting by a tree near the barn. I put it there when I dismount it from the tractor, which I do fairly often. As others have said, it only takes a few minutes. My neighbor was reminded to tell me that this Easter...
