    Just arrived and hour meter is broken

    Just a heads up... I bought a Yanmar and the hour meter doesn't register below 2000 RPM. It's a 1988 and showed 725 hours. I usually run around 1800. So in 2 years the hour meter never moved. Recently I started running at 2000 rpm and it actually registers the hours now. Not sure if this is a...

    Bad Day for Pole Barn

    Using a container to store implements

    On another note. Be careful with your ramp. The door latches extend well below the container floor and swing outward the ramp cannot be level with the floor… Been there done that 😳

    UTILITY VEHICLE PRICING COMPARISON & ADVICE

    i own a CF MOTO with CVT tranny and struggle terribly descending hills with it in high range. Seems like to use engine breaking you need to keep the clutch engaged, throttle engaged, which is too fast, which in high range means lots of mechanical breaking. The only way I have figured out...

    Tractor assisted tree felling.

    Need guidance on felling hung up tree

    Just my 2 cents. Not a logger by any means but have cut plenty of standing trees. This is potentially dangerous as once that trunk is cut you don't know whether its hitting the ground or sliding. Cut from the topside, Making a felling notch. Make sure you limit the depth of your cut so as not to...
