I believe NGK plugs come from the factory with a very thin coat of never seize pre applied.

I am very surprised there were no replies to your question. I have never operated a tractor with that type of shifting mechanism, I believe they may have quit building them because of problems similar to yours.

Walmart batteries are excellent ! I had one that lasted 18 years in my 8N ford tractor, obviously I replaced it with another Walmart battery about 6 years ago.

I have a 6610 if that’s any help

I own both HST and gear driven, prefer HST most of the time. But if your wanting to pull a lot of heavy loads a long ways at road speeds gear driven might be a better choice.

Sell it or give it to someone that’ll take good care of it.

Well went for a ride to visit some friends yesterday, pretty hot the highest temperature I saw was 87 degrees Fahrenheit with very high humidity . The visits went pretty well but found out one of the people I had intended to visit passed away about a month ago, he had been loosing weight so he...

Power Trac is a very interesting machine but seems like almost everyday I’m reading about one that’s broke down somewhere and no parts available

Interesting article...

I have also tried both high speed and low speed for starting the blades on my Kubota ZD21 , high speed definitely seems to work better, the manual suggests it has a automatic feathering device built in.

The push button PTO shafts seldom cause me any trouble but the sliding collar types are almost always trouble for me when hooking up Fortunately my tractor has Extendable arms Euro hooks Very easy to operate lever on rear of tractor for raising and lowering arms, after having a tractor with that...

When you parked your Jinma 10 years ago it was running fine ?

Wow I never would have guessed this thread about hooking up a bush hog would grow to 10 or more pages !!!

I haven’t needed to be able to turn the PTO shaft on my LS tractor in order to hookup a PTO but after reading so many folks saying they could turn theirs I went out to the shop to try it, mine won’t turn, you can feel the normal slop in the gears but you definitely can’t turn it far enough to...

Most but not all tires have a pressure embossed on the sidewall but I believe the number actually indicates the maximum safe air pressure for seating the beads, not what they should be inflated to for normal everyday use.

Sure is strange that LS didn’t put some kind of recommendations for tire air pressure in the owners manual. No pressure indicated on my rear tires, the front tires say maximum 40psi but that must be for when mounting the tires to get the bead properly seated. My tractor has near 500 hours on it...

If you have Harbor Freight in your area https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=Liquid%20tire%20air%20pressure%20gauge

Pretty interesting setup but I have never noticed that before. It sure doesn’t appear that by turning that pin you would be able to lift one arm 4 inches higher than the other but because you would be measuring at the end of the arm maybe 4 inches would be possible. My LS does give you 2 holes...

One of my friends used Magic Jack for quite awhile, sometimes it worked great but a lot of times it didn’t, eventually he quit using it. He passed away in January otherwise I would have liked to discuss it with him again.

What brands of tractors have the two different settings for the links for the lower arms that allows to lift each one independently ? I have been around 3 point hook up tractors most of my life and don’t recall ever seeing one built like you described. Could you please post a picture of one ...

1-2 minutes seems very fast have you ever actually tried timing it start to finish ? Noticed your cutter has no rear wheel I suppose that could help to make it slightly easier to hook up. I also have euro hooks and hydraulic top link, very rarely have any trouble hooking up the PTO , mine is the...

Wow three new engines under warranty ? What happened to cause that ? I am currently a Ford f150 owner with 10 speed automatic, very often hearing of folks having problems with them but so far mine has been flawless.

What do you mean by bush mower ? I have a 6 foot Woods Dixie Cutter, 3 point hookup and it usually seems to take me about 10 minutes to hook it up. Haven’t used it since last year but hopefully in the near future the ground will dry up enough to use it without leaving to many tracks.

Had the ducts in my house cleaned last fall, they had 3-4 workers, took about 2 hours start to finish, cost me $450 , I believe it was a very worthwhile project, the boss told me they are supposed to recommend having the ducts cleaned every 3 years but he feels in most cases every 5 years is...

Interesting comments, how much line do you usually load into your Stihl heads ? I usually do about 12 feet but it definitely seems like a lot more line could easily fit. The comment about line fluttering at low rpm’s with speed feed head is also interesting I don’t remember anyone ever...

Hopefully reading this old thread might be of some help. https://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/topic/49746-adding-3pt-to-806/

Unfortunately I suspect it wasn’t until the later years of the 806 that they started offering them with the 3 point hookup option . Does your 806 have the proper mounts for a 3 point hitch ?

Have you checked with any junkyards about possibly buying the factory 3 point hitch from a junked 806 ?

Sorry you got stuck with such a lousy machine maybe try putting it up for sale and see if someone else might be interested in buying it.

With 4,000+ acres You will definitely need more equipment than just a big dozer ! Probably better off putting the work out on bids first to see what kind of bids you actually get and what kind of equipment they intend to use.

My 2019 XR4155 arms seem to be built considerably different than yours, only 500 hours but i haven’t experienced any trouble yet. If they have been upgraded maybe LS would be willing to replace yours under warranty. Could you post a picture of the one that hasn’t been broken or have both sides...

Looks like a lot of work but for someone that’s into that type of thing it looks like a project with some pretty reasonable money making potential.

I believe that electric raise-lower-tilt for cleaning is a $500+ option, one of my brother in laws bought one after using his Grasshopper for a couple years with the manual deck.

One of my brothers has had th most Hummingbirds I’ve ever seen anywhere for a lot of years but for some reason there ain’t many this year. Few years ago he went through 400 pounds of sugar, this year he says maybe 25 pounds.

Very sorry to hear this. Any idea what type of accident it was ? Just a short time ago he was talking about some 3 inch wheel spacers he had installed on one of his tractors making quite a difference in stability.

I’m a Kubota ZD21 owner, currently a little over 1400 hours on it with very little trouble, still using the original belt, did replace the original starter because it often wasn’t engaging properly , a brand new starter cost less than $100 from Amazon, local Kubota dealer wanted $215 plus my old...

Should have been cut down years ago, Why did you wait so long ?

I recently bought a pair of knee pads at Menards, they were the cheapest ones on the shelf cost was $15 , they are definitely the best knee pads I ever had.

How do mushroom growers use the hay ?

I believe both brands are good. I happen to own a Woods Dixie cutter, bought it new over 40 years ago, it’s kinda beat up from hitting rocks but has never given me any trouble, mine is equipped with a slip clutch. It does a pretty decent job cutting especially if the blades are reasonably sharp...

Thanks for posting the link to your mower looks like a very nice and capable unit . I just wish it was rated to cut a little bigger diameter stuff. I’m sure my LS4155 would have no trouble handling it.

I have Stihl trimmer and head, line welding or getting stuck does happen and is very annoying but fortunately for me it doesn’t happen a lot. Loading The Stihl head is a very annoying job I have been wanting to replace it with an Echo head for years but every time I go shopping for one they are...

Different crew running it this year. It starts and ends in Coralville, I like the new setup, will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

Very sorry to see this, Crash was long gone before I ever even heard of tractor by net. Reading what his daughter had to say makes me even more thankful for the family I grew up in.

Any Tractor by net members attending or watching the 2025 Iron Butt Rally ? Starts today in Coralville Iowa https://www.ldxrally.com/2025-iron-butt-rally

I really don’t like those collars my snowblower is the only attachment I own that has the collar.

I have had one for 5+ years, not sure the model number but it’s been pretty much trouble free, the idle speed should be adjusted so it would idle slightly faster but I’m not sure how to adjust it and haven’t bothered to take it back to the dealer. It’s a little heavy but has plenty of power, I...

The first picture looks unbelievably smooth ! What is “stay-mat” ?

I have 2022 f150 2.7 with 10 speed, so far it has been shifting perfectly. I very rarely tow anything. Been taking it to the dealer I bought it from for service. When the time comes for transmission service guess I will let them do whatever is supposed to get done. They do seem to be pretty...

Fortunately so far my XR4155 hasn’t had this problem but it currently only has about 470 hours on it, usually regenerates between 30-50 hours.

Around here 20” bars seem to be what most folks prefer. I use 18” mostly because that’s what my old saw had, I do sometimes wish I had chosen a 20” bar for the new saw just because of the extra reach, a little less bending over.

So how long do you keep eggs in refrigerator ?

Painted my house myself twice, took over a month both times, spent a few days pressure washing. Last time about 4 years ago I hired a professional outfit, I was amazed at how easy everything looked, there pressure washer made mine look ridiculous ! After that experience I will never again...

How many hours on the old belts ?

Possibly a ground issue ?

I recommend taking them to a good experienced welder to get the job done right the first time, you definitely don’t want to experience one getting broke loose that could be very expensive.

Wonder how loud it will be ? My 562 seem annoying loud with the stock exhaust, since getting my 562 i usually wear ear protection.

Have used the decompression valve on my Husqvarna 562 only a couple times , to me it seemed like a pretty much useless feature, not noticeably easier for me to start with or without using the decompression valve. Probably makes a more noticeable difference on bigger saws.

So you have a secret Husqvarna chainsaw

How many hours since the fuel filter was changed ?

Don’t know why but I don’t have the very annoying ad problems on this website lately.

Without the stabilizers properly adjusted the lower arms could possibly rub on a tire on my XR4155 . Since you currently don’t have any stabilizers installed yes I believe that could pretty quickly become a very big and expensive problem .

A little “slip and sway” is pretty normal, it will be interesting to hear what you say if you ever do manage to get all “slip and sway” removed.

Some pictures might be helpful for someone to figure out what the problem is. Since you are a new member I’m also wondering how much previous experience you have with operating 3 point hookup PTO equipment ?

Really it’s only April 10th I highly doubt there are any Hummingbirds in central Wisconsin right now. Maybe they will start showing up here in a couple more weeks.

Very happy with my category 1-2 euro hooks. But other than reading about Pats system I have never actually seen them in real life.

Never broke a ratchet of any brand but I have never attempted to use a 6 foot cheater bar on a ratchet, seems like doing something like that is simply asking for trouble.

Longer or shorter both have possible not good consequence’s if the PTO shaft on your equipment is a little to long or short it could lead to expensive damage.

Looks like you are making some good progress, hopefully everything turns out well. Only about 50 hours to go until my XR4155 reaches 515 hours hopefully mine won’t run into the same very expensive trouble ! So far it’s been trouble free.

That looks like a pretty nice trailer and loader you have. Pretty easy to understand why you would like a bigger tractor. I’m curious what state do you live in ?

Borrowed quick hitch from a friend, it made hooking up the PTO for my rear mount snowblower very difficult so returned it to my friend and lost all interest in buying one for myself. But I do have friends that love their quick hitches .

Another very good option is Eurohooks , quite a few threads on this board talking about them. My LS is category 1 and 2 and i had Eurohooks installed removed the sliding links and shipped them to a board member out in California to have them welded on. i already had a hydraulic top link which...

Actually, i don't even know if my LS has a seatbelt. None of my other tractors have seatbelts or roll guards. i grew up on a farm so do have quite a bit of experience operating tractors and luckily so far have never come close to tipping one over, but that sure doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

exactly what brand tractor is that ? it looks very nice ! That driveshaft looking thing going to the front of the tractor is that for FWD or to run a hydralic pump ?

I am also a very firm believer in following the Warm up and cool down time instructions, shutting it off without allowing for the cool down time won’t take long to take out turbo seals.

Where do you folks with such large hands buy your gloves ? I usually have to buy double extra large and my hands ain’t as big as some of the measurements I’ve seen here.

Have you ever taken the new Goldwing for a test ride ? If not I’m pretty sure both you and the wife will be amazed at how well they ride and handle ! Russellville Honda usually has test ride Goldwings available and makes some excellent deals if you decide to buy one.

Glad to see it sounds like they may have figured out the problems with your XR4155. Unfortunately sounds like it’s going to be pretty expensive to fix. Have you always done the recommended cooldown the turbo time before shutdown ?

Thank you Lineman here is the link ! I even watched all the videos about it, I just might buy one myself...

Snowed about 5 inches here yesterday so today I had to plow some snow with the front loader. Should have installed the turf tamers but I didn’t so I wound up gouging the lawn in two spots, not real bad but now I have some lawn repair work to do which could have easily been avoided by taking 5...

Do you have some sort of method for marking the length of your blocks or do you just guess at it like I do ? Sometimes I manage to cut a few a little to long to fit in my wood furnace.

Looks like Amazon sells the same two sided aluminum hammer as Walmart for about the same price $9 The stainless steel two sided hammer on Amazon costs three times as much $29 If I do buy one it will probably be the $9 one from my local Walmart

Local Walmart carries one made of aluminum for less than $10 but the reviews ain’t good, seems like most folks recommend buying one made of stainless steel

Looks like they are listed in alphabetical order. Seems like 3/4 down the page is where the should be.

Anyone here ever use one ? A 93 years old friend was talking about his mother using one many years ago to make steaks much more tender, I had never even heard of a meat hammer before.

Hopefully iron butterfly will return to let us know let us know if the problem has been resolved.

My 8N ford was converted to 12 volts over 30 years ago by myself. About 5 years ago I suspected the original coil was bad because after the engine got warm it wouldn’t run very well so I bought a new coil from the local Advance Auto store, cost about $50 , probably made in China or Mexico I...

Where did you get the information that says regenerating at 50 hours is to often ? Mine seems to usually regenerate around 50 hours, seems fine to me , I actually thought that’s what it was supposed to do.

I have been hearing of quite a few issues with EPA stuff but so far with close to 500 hours on my LS XR4155 I haven’t experienced any problems

I wonder how the original poster “Kikkoman” is doing these days he hasn’t replied-updated this post in over three months, hopefully all the issues with his new TYM tractor have resolved.

My LS doesn’t have a 4wd light and I wish it did. But it really isn’t very difficult to look down at the floor and see what position the lever is in so I haven’t attempted to do anything about it.

Cleanup the plastic bottle and put some water in it so you can tell if it’s actually leaking from the bottle or somewhere else. Sounds like maybe you should have someone with more experience take a look at it

Have you load tested the battery ? I suspect your battery might be going bad. I am a firm believer in chargers with built in desulfurization mode. Exactly what chargers do you have ?

I have seen pictures where they used graders to plow insects to the side of the road and spread sand to make them a little less slippery.

I have been using car battery in my Ford 8N for the past 30+ years, the first one lasted 18 years, it was a Walmart battery and when it finally failed I replaced it with another Walmart battery. AGM batteries are a very good option but I have never used one in a tractor.

I am a big Menards fan ! Menards is usually cheaper plus they usually have the 11% rebate deal going. Bought a new jacket a couple days ago, it would have cost $44 but my previously earned rebates paid for it. If I have a question about something it’s usually pretty easy to find a employee...

Here in Wisconsin you are supposed to call diggers hotline before doing ANY digging, even in your garden ! So last summer I needed to dig up my 90 years old basement drain to replace it because it was plugged. Your supposed to call 2 weeks prior to digging and I did, well the day before the...

Very nice video explaining exactly how he cut and mounted the pipe.

Bought 3 edge tamers for my 72 inch LS front loader bucket about 3 years ago , don’t use them a lot but when I do use them they work great, I highly recommend them. The one bolt mounting system is great, very quick and easy to mount or remove with a 3/4 inch ratchet !

We tried out a Snowmobile Trail Groomer that had a saw mounted on the loader, it worked ok but had me wondering how long it would last. It was mounted on a 160 horsepower New Holland tractor.

OSB isn’t made to be exposed to weather but I used unpainted OSB on some barn windows about 10 years ago and other than changing color it has been holding up very well.

I did read all 12 pages of this thread, lots of great information ! Have a friend that is very good at hand filing he just sets the saw down on a tailgate or workbench, holds the file with one hand and holds the bar with the other hand. One thing I did learn from watching him was I had been...

So who actually called to notify you of the fire ? You said the neighbor let his fire get away, if it actually was a fire started by your neighbor do you know what he was attempting to burn ? I sure hope everything eventually gets worked out to your satisfaction.

My Honda charger has a automatic desulfate mode, it has three different lights, when you first plug it in if it’s hooked up correctly one green light and one yellow light come on, the yellow light stays on until it’s done with desulfurization then the yellow light goes off and the other green...

I don’t own a Kubota tractor but on my LS if your not sitting in the seat the transmission needs to be in neutral and parking brake applied in order to start the engine. Also if your not sitting on the seat the PTO won’t turn on unless transmission is In neutral and parking brake is applied...

Lots of folks claim to be making lots of profit with Bitcoin .

I used OSB to cover a bunch of barn windows about 10 years ago, never painted it and it has held up very well.

Considered quite a few different brands back in 2020 when I was looking to buy a new tractor. The treadle pedal on the Kubota that I took for a test drive seemed pretty lousy for me to operate so Kubota quickly got crossed off my list. I do now see that Kubota does have a much better treadle...

So you repainted the rod red so it’s easier for you to see ?

Great to see the problem seems to be resolved ! If it ever happens to mine I will have a good clue what to look for.

Was mowing some brush with Bush Hog type mower, knew perfectly well I was driving over stuff I shouldn’t be driving over, after the job was completed I wanted to to wash the mud off everything that’s when I noticed some fluid had leaked out and the piece of brush stuck between rim and bead. It...

Nice toolbox but kind of small, I bought a bigger toolbox a couple years ago thinking it was bigger than I needed but now I wish I would have bought a bigger one.

I mostly use the Apple built in weather app. While traveling long distance I often take a quick look at http://www.gregrice.com/50CC_100CCC/50CC_100CCC_weather.htm

I would say the dealer you bought it from will be responsible for fixing it at no cost to you. I know a guy that bought a brand new John Deere combine, he lived about 5 miles from the dealership, when he got about 4 miles something in the drive line locked up because there wasn’t any lubricant...

I would probably also try load testing the battery just to make sure it’s actually good. I am also a XR 4155 owner, only 440 hours so far and no problems, bought mine new in November 2020

What are you planning to use the sickle mower for ?

I really didn’t like the joystick because it was mounted to far forward and even though it was adjustable it just wasn’t comfortable when backing up and looking over my shoulder. So I removed the joystick and just used the two levers beside the seat. Only the last couple feet of hose looked bad...

Have you tried eliminating the joystick ? What condition are the hoses ? Put new hoses on my 6610 and that was a major improvement.

Any idea what caused the sidewall to blow out ?

Kinda surprised no one has said not to use Fram filters, I have been using Fram filters on lots of stuff for many years and they never caused any problems that I’m aware of.

This discussion reminds me of the conversations I’ve heard while riding in Las Vegas Casino elevators

I don’t understand why you are wanting to replace that part, is there something wrong with it that I haven’t noticed ?

Just curious how many hours currently on your MT347 ? Hopefully you will be able to get the issues resolved soon. What kind of work have you been using your MT347 for ? Sounds like maybe the gaskets were defective or not properly installed at the factory ?

Congratulations ! Looks like new ! So apparently it didn’t come with a front loader ?

I never heard of Yazoo mowers before but it definitely was a pretty interesting outfit ! Check out these videos. http://yazoomowers.com/

I own an Echo chainsaw, it starts very easily every time, other than that I really wouldn’t brag much about it. My newest saw is a Husqvarna 562XP , it’s a professional saw and pretty expensive, I wouldn’t mind having a bigger-more powerful saw but they simply get to heavy for me to carry...

You own a MT357 ? I do like having the safety switches but they definitely are well known to cause problems sometimes. Fortunately mine have never caused any trouble. Waiting 5 weeks to get the problem figured out and fixed on a brandnew tractor had to be very frustrating.

Lots of different 530’s but utility is never mentioned https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/0/5/50-john-deere-530-photos.html

I’m wondering if maybe “utility” isn’t the correct name, I know International Harvester used utility but I’m not so sure John Deere used the same name ? Quite a few John Deere 530 row crop tractors show up in my searches but absolutely no utilities.

https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/0/5/50-john-deere-530.html

Thanks for your reply. Exactly what model is that John Deere tractor ?

Has anyone besides rScotty ever seen lower arms that extend a foot ? The farthest I have ever seen is 3 1/2 inches

Got my euro hooks from Fit Rite Hydraulics and I love having them ! Mine are category 1 and 2 , they make hooking up heavy equipment a lot easier. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/adding-euro-three-point-hooks.452498/

My dealer welded three hooks on my 72 inch LS bucket before he delivered the new tractor, I haven’t used them a lot but they have been very handy when needed. I provided the hooks and he charged $10 to weld them on, beautiful welds. I have also heard plenty of good things about bolt on hooks.

I really can’t tell what’s going on from looking at the picture of a truck sitting next to a diesel and gasoline pump

There’s a pretty good sized oil refiner near Stratford Wi, they are very well known for quality products. I have seen their products for sale in lots of Truckstops . I haven’t used any of their stuff myself but have several friends that swear by the stuff. https://rockoilrefining.com/

Harry Ferguson was a genius that definitely had major impacts on the tractor business !!!

Tractor Supply usually has quite a few different sizes of hitch pins in stock so I’m guessing they will most likely have a pin in stock that will work great . I just looked and they do have 1 inch diameter and also 1 1/8 inch diameter pins listed, either one of those should be able to handle his...

Plowed my yard for the third time this winter, we got about 4 inches of new snow last night, so far it’s been a pretty mild winter.

Yes very unfortunate they only have dealers in 8 states, maybe someday when I’m on a trip i will run into a dealer that stocks them so I can get a close up look at them.

So how are you liking your pull type snow blower ? I never even knew they existed until reading about them on this forum.

I considered a few different brands and different dealerships, the best salesman was at a John Deere store that guy was very knowledgeable about what he was selling and very honest. But the John Deere tractor cost about $15,000 more than the LS I wound up buying with what seems to be the same...

Have you considered Scag ? They supposedly build the best mowers but crazy expensive.

Around my area the free tire recycling ended about 10 years ago

I have also done business with FitRite with excellent results, he definitely knows his stuff !

I believe it was Oliver that actually invented them and I have seen them on older Oliver’s several times. I have never seen them on any older Fords.

Exactly what do you mean by “till” ? My opinion using a 3pt tiller on frozen ground would be just asking for some very expensive trouble.

It’s really to bad there aren’t hardly any Antonio Carraro dealers located in the USA , none here in Wisconsin.

Wow that’s a very impressive setup you have .

Looks like very nice work ! How did you cut the slots ?

Well the very annoying intuit adds are still there today but so far they haven’t taken up the entire page Thanks for your help

I’m surprised you thought it wouldn’t work.

Shopped at my local Harbor Freight yesterday, about 50 miles one way. They had a deal where if you buy a 8 amp hour 20volt lithium battery you could get a free Bauer 6 1/2 skillsaw so I bought the battery. Also bought a 20volt leaf blower, got $15 off on the blower...

For me the intuit adds are currently the worst for me they take up the entire page and sometimes the only way to stop it is to close the page and start over. I am mostly using apple iPad and do have a adblocker installed

Interesting

I have heard that some Tractor Supply stores are selling LS tractors but so far I haven’t seen any at my local Tractor Supply store, if they did show up it would be interesting to look but I wouldn’t buy one there because my dealer offers excellent service and probably better pricing than...

Most folks probably don’t have the proper tools to cut the slots. I sure don’t that’s why I shipped mine to Fit Rite out in California to have the stock balls removed and the Euro hooks welded on, I definitely didn’t want to give up the ability to slide-extend the arms when hooking up 3point...

No the 9 foot rear blade is not the only implement I telescope the arms on when hooking up, I use the telescoping function almost every time I hook up any three point equipment to my baby sized tractor. If your happy without telescoping arms I guess that’s all that really matters, I wish you...

Well I have Euro hooks and extendable arms and definitely would not want to be without the option to be able to easily slide them in or out. Mt 9 foot rear blade weighs 1,400+ pounds, good luck attempting to slide that around easily while hooking up, when it’s unhooked it’s usually outside on...

Wow that’s incredible ! Could you please do a little more explaining how your box blade caused them to get broke ? Where did you get your Euro hooks from ? They seem to look a little different than mine.

Also got mine done by FitRite he does excellent work, euro hooks make hooking and unhooking equipment a lot easier.

Dang I was hoping to see he got it started

Is the parking brake set ? Are you sitting on the seat when attempting to start ? You might want to try disconnecting the battery ground for a few minutes then reconnect it, sometimes if there’s a poor connection somewhere in the system that will get it to start working again.

Just a few things I would check Is the power take off turned off ? Is the shift lever in neutral ? Is the parking brake set ?

Probably a stupid question but did you check the oil level in the transmission ? About 10 years ago the transmission in my 8N Ford wasn’t shifting properly and when I checked the oil it was about 2 quarts low so I added oil and it’s back to shifting great

I would say nuts on top and since the Urethane edge is mainly going to be used for snow removal the nuts most likely will not show noticeable wear very soon unless you will be removing extreme amounts of snow.

The adds are very annoying but apparently TBN makes a lot of money from the adds so that’s probably why they don’t do anything about it even after receiving very many complaints

I have a rear 72 inch 3 point blower in like new condition but haven’t used it since buying a rear 9 foot Bison blade. My driveway and yard are gravel, the 9 foot blade weighs 1,400+ pounds and is very easily reversible, it has been working excellent. If the surface isn’t frozen hard I plow...

Full time use of headlights is what I would like to see. Currently it’s way to easy to accidentally forget to turn headlights on.

Wow sounds like a big challenge, Good luck with your project !

Check how fine the filter is rated to filter, we experienced a similar problem when it was much below zero the pump pumped very slow, talked to the filter place and they said the filter was to fine for the extreme cold, they recommended a different number filter and we installed that and the...

Beautiful paint job ! How’s the power steering ? One of my uncles used to have a 50 but i believe it was taller than yours, the power steering was very slow.

My LS dealer made a skid plate for my LS XR4155 , it helps but it ain’t nothing to brag about. Basically just a flat piece of steel bolted to the loader frame. He has had to do some pretty expensive repairs because of customers driving over stuff they shouldn’t be driving over.

Carhart used to used much better zippers than they do today so I ain’t buying anymore Carhart stuff. I was shopping at Fleet Farm yesterday for insulated coveralls they carry Carhart and Berne but they were both sold out, so was my local Tractor Supply. You can supposedly order Directly from...

Rather surprised that you didn’t plug it in for about an hour before attempting to start it. My LS is stored in unheated building but if the temperature is much below freezing I’m happy to plug it in for awhile before attempting to start it, when it’s below zero I plug it in hours ahead of time

Today Plowed my yard for the first time this winter, guess we got 3-4 inches. Changed engine oil and filter, everything went pretty well. Currently 407 hours on my LS XR4155

My f150 has aluminum body and so far I love it. I find it hard to believe they still use steel for brake lines and automatic transmission lines.

Bought 2 gallons of Rotella T6 5w40 at Menards yesterday $49 Planning to change oil after clearing the yard from this supposedly big snow storm, supposed to get 3-5 inches but so far it hasn’t even covered the grass on my lawn.
