I'll also recommend a Sthil MS260 with a 24” bar. 24 “ bar is for the taller users out there. I’m 6’4” and told old to be bending over all the time.

This is my special tool for tightening the camlock. Helps get the chains real tight.

Just a trick for when your are putting chains on the tires for the first time to get them fitted. Take and jack the rear tires off the ground so that both tires are off the ground. It makes it a lot easier to get the chains fitted to the tires because you can turn the tires to get them fitted tight.

I did get a tire trough the culvert so all i needed to do keep pulling the spool through the culvert to get the dirt and gravel out. It was a multi step process. First was to get a rope tru then use the rope to pull the chain through, the pull the tire trough. Then look in side the culvert to...

Working on the plugged culvert problem again. Boy did I eat an extra big bowel of stupid “O”s for breakfast today. Got the tractor stuck trying to clear the problem culvert. Just cannot win sometimes.

I welded two disk brake rotors on a piece of pipe and then pulled through the culvert a couple times to clean the culvert out

I’ve done about 35 years of firewood work and my favorite saws are a Jonsered 2171 and a Stihl ms260. The jonsered was a big saw a used mostly for bucking logs. It was fast and a bit heavy and would cut fast. It was also very comfortable cutting saw. Used the MS260 for felling and trimming trees...

It gets real old plowing snow with no cad

And don’t forget the 12v Milwaukee grease gun 👍🏻

I have a model 265820 which great for just about anything. Also got the Milwaukee 1/2” drive metric and inch inpact socket sets. There have been times when I have to use the old standby craftsman corded impact for the more stubborn bolts.

This culvert at one time had a family of skunks living in it. Threw a handful on mothballs in the culvert to make them leave. Attack stinky with a stinky works all the time. 🤣

I did get a tire through the culvert without any problem using a chain and a tagline rope. The tire just wouldn’t clear the sand and gravel

I tried calling the fire department and they gave ma a firm “NO”. I think they have been called about this way to many of a time lately.

Due to some extreme rain with flooding I have some 16” culverts that need to be cleaned out. They are full of debris and a lot of fine sand a gravel. I tried the trick of pulling a tire through the culvert with limited success. The tire cleared the debris put little of the sand and gravel. From...

Old age and extreme weather dictated that I get a cab. After many Winters sitting on a tractor with no cab plowing snow I finally got a tractor with a cab. I went from this… To this….

$10.95 breakfast this morning at the local restaurant. Nice way to start the day and week.

try this type of pressure gage/ inflater. The fitting just clips onto the valve stem, that way you don’t need hold it on the stem

The tires came from the factory with these tires. How else would know how to tell if they are knokoff tire?

I changed the rear tires pressures this morning. One was 22.3 psi the other was 24.2 psi and changed them both 12.0 psi at first. 12 psi only changed the tire contact from 50% to 75%. So I dropped the pressure to 10.0 psi and this gave me full contact. Going from the original pressure to 10%...

Too many, The wear on your rears look right. What is the tire pressures?

I just did a lot of dirt road work due to recent very heavy rains. I moved 20 yards of 3/4” road mix which required 40 bucket loads of laying down the material and grading the road, total time running of 19 hrs. So I ran the tractor a lot on loose gravel which might account for the slippage...

The front tires are ok, no need for me to adjust the pressure. I typically don’t have much weight on the 3 point hitch because most of the work is with the FEL. I need the full traction of the rears in the winter because I have to plow. I will try a lower pressure on the rear tires and see how...

My manual says the same thing.

On my rear tires (14.9- 24 R4) only has about 50% of the thread in contact with the ground. The instructions on the tires only say to not exceed 38 psi and the pressure is presently at 20 psi. The tires have rimgaurd in them and only 120 hrs on them. Even with a 6 ft Woods box scraper on the 3...

I didn’t think about that because I had a good relationship with them, I thought. My MF that I bought from them transport was never an issue. But relationships change over time and maybe next time I’m going to e more specific about the purchase deal and get everything that I want in WRITING...

It’s just 35 miles round trip.

I did not. My assumption was that I just spent close to $30,000 on a tractor and attachments that I would get at least some kind of reasonable customer service. Seeing also that I bought the Mf 1533 from them also. Which they did a free delivery of the new tractor and one warranty repair that...

The thing they didn’t say anything and where inconsistent on their policys.

Is it common practice for a dealer to charge for trucking to deliver a new tractor and pick up the trade in? 6 months ago i traded in my Massey Ferguson 1533 for a new Kioti 4210 se HST. The reason I got it was I was tired of plowing snow with no cab, I’m getting too old for ruffling it in the...

I installed a Generac 7kw generator. I have 200mp service and SOP generator installation would to size the generator to the 200 amp service. This would be a in the range of a 12 kw generator. i knew from experience because it is my house that I would not need this large of a generator because i...

I just installed a whole house standby LP generator last summer. I had been using a portable generator for over 15 years and decided to replace because I got tired of trying to going out and pulling the starter handle. My very first run of the new generator happened in late fall and the...

How about a red machine fixing a green machine? Makes changing the mower blades very eas.

Wood pellets are blown into the bin from this truck.

How about moving a grain bin that’s being repurposed for storing wood pellets. I bought a grain bin to be used for wood pellets. I found out that I could get a better price on bulk wood pellets and also got tired of handling 5 tons of bagged pellets. “ A little tractor that Could “ 😝
