The alternative is to spend $540 on the 2511T like I did. I think for $100, it's worth the risk of performing some adjustments.

I always try and be a sensible driver and allow people over. Driving is a dangerous thing and people should all work together to make it as safe as possible.

I have noticed in my area that many drivers entering via on-ramps, or even merging down to one lane, act as if they don't have to yield to the drivers in the lain they're entering. They expect the people in those lanes to yield to them (just like in your video). That's not how it works! You are...

cell phones have made driving an extremely dangerous thing to do. I gave up riding motorcycles due to cell phones. Way too dangerous anymore....

Got the french drain installed and the pool mostly back filled. Now onto the deck!

I seen that the 2511T could be ordered with the Nano but I bought mine from the local Echo/Stihl shop and they didn't have that version in stock when I bought mine.

Glad to see everyone enjoying their new saws! My echo 2511T is the saw that is always with me on the tractor. The Egan muffler was put on it a week after I purchased the saw 2 years ago and really upped the power. Next I plan to do the Oregon nano, just have been busy with other projects lately.

A couple ounces of gas down the hole at night took care of the issue. No more yellow jackets. (y)

Yeah I won't be lighting anything. My natural gas meter is 6 feet away. 😁

For what it's worth, my boss has a Husqvarna mower with the K46 in it. He also has a very steep hilly yard and he said that it's been the best tractor he's ever had for his yard. Two weeks ago the K46 finally went out and he ordered a replacement from Safford equipment for around $800 and...

That's good to know! I almost bought the 10ga extension cord the other day. I am glad I waited.

I discovered a ground nest of bees this weekend located right next to my water spigot that I had the kids turning on/off for me so lucky they did not get stung. Looks like I am gonna pour a little gas in it this evening and cover with a scoop of dirt. Hopefully that resolves the issue...

7 days of deals start today. Today's deal is a really good one and one I will be taking advantage of soon as I leave the office today. Hard to beat these jacks for $99.

The property I just sold but was owned by my family all my life, has an ancient hand built 4' stone wall like this running around 400 yards through a section of the woods. A couple areas fell down 30 years or so ago but much of it is still standing today. I always thought it was super cool as...

@Hockfire Saws Do they offer a clone of a 395?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I ended up ordering the Wen stand due to the price and the reviews on it. The savings was so good that I bought two adjustable roller stands as well. Being as I am about to start on a 18x32 deck that I will be building entirely with no help, those stands will help...

This is our second salt water pool. Both of my sisters have salt water pools, too. Yes, you can put SH in salt pools as well. Salt water pools just make the chlorine and pump it in.. We chose the pump system ourselves verses it coming in a "kit". Same with the liner. We designed this pool to...

I have the 5' King Kutter II tiller for my Kubota L2502 (25HP) and it is a very well made, heavy duty tiller. My 2502 runs it very well, no issues whatsoever. Mine had been used only twice and I picked it up for $600 off of a buddy.

Amazon has them for $99

This is the one I was looking at last night at my local Lowes. I have the 12" Dewalt DWS780 miter saw which has been a very good machine.

He's not selling them for $99 now though. His prices went up to $140

Anyone have an opinion on a good miter saw stand? I am getting ready to start this massive deck and will need a stand for my Dewalt compound miter saw.

Ford launched a recall for over 694,000 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles that could suffer a fuel leak inside their engine compartments because of a faulty part, potentially posing a fire risk. The recall centers on a fuel injector within certain 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Escape...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Maybe I should've paid more attention if he was an Indiana guy...:sneaky:

I seen that pop up in your group earlier today.

Your top handle Echo is nowhere near as good of a saw as the 2511 is. The 271 is not a fan favorite by any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks! This is my 3rd pool so I'm good there. I own a power washing business so sodium hypochlorite is one thing in abundance at my home but, this is a salt water pool.

Thanks for the info bub!

Yeah, all my fault! :ROFLMAO: It is an expensive little bugger but the 2511T is my favorite saw. It will really surprise you how well these cut. I may have to pick one of these clones up for my buddy as he drools over my 2511T but can't afford one.

I was skeptical of that installer from the beginning. He was a 1/4 of the price of the other installers but when I talked to him on the phone, I could tell he was knowledgeable on pool installs - but he sounded like a thug crack head. When he was a no-show, that lit a fire under my arse and...

I have heard a lot about the nut grass coming through liners. I put a layer of gravel down followed by about 4" of sand that I compacted down very tight. Then I used the Gorilla pad which is "supposed" to help with nut grass, or other things that could potentially penetrate the liner. Then the...

The contractor was a no-show that day after confirming with him the night before, and taking a vacation day. It made me so mad that I was determined I wasn't going to reply on anyone else to finish this $%@! pool. So, after months of work doing basically everything myself, the pool is in the...

Not really understanding your point here. I don't know what kind of professional off road driver you have been. A log skidder, ice road trucker, overlanding, 4x4 trucks, rock climber, mud bogs or?? My BIL races off-road trucks but yet he still has multiple Jeeps that he hauls all over the world...

Clearance plays a MASSIVE role in some off road scenarios but are a hindrance in others. The cheapest way to gain clearance is tires. I have often times seen the differential height be the limiting factor to complete obstacles.

Because some of the best engines I ever had were inline. Super easy to work on as well.

I never said they were better. I said I liked them more.

Then why did you quote and respond to this post where I was discussing clearance an approach angles and you commented the regearing changes that??? I think you lost yourself.

I am pretty sure everything that has been said here is an opinion. We both have our own opinions, but you are the only one who can't seem to understand we are both entitled to them. :cool:

Regearing does nothing to change the ground clearance or the approach angles. :ROFLMAO:

Yes, it doesn't cut. I have used it both ways and the V8 is worlds better in every way possible.

I have been Jeepin for almost 40 years and have seen every setup imageable. You don't NEED a v8 to crawl and I never said you did. I would rather have a V8 in a Jeep any day over the 6cyl.

How else will you increase ground clearance, or approach/departure angles without larger tires? If those are your goals, it then becomes necessary. 95% of the jeepers out there do it all for the looks. The other 5% do it for a reason.

My thoughts exactly!

I wouldn't recommend either of the Bronco's to a Jeep owner. :cool: Not that they are bad vehicles by any stretch though. I know the Bronco had some issues with the one engine but not so much with the other. The Bronco Sport has been very reliable from what I understand. And they are sharp as well.

I am anxiously waiting that 2502 kit to come out!

IMO the stripped down version of vehicles are always the best deal to be had. Buy it with an AM radio, steel wheels, basic seats and rubber floor. Add what I want to aftermarket for a FRACTION of the cost. They're a tool for me and nothing more. I knew my tractor had to have a 3rd function and...

Actually it's pretty common to find powerful v8's in Wranglers. Once you get into the bigger tires, the 3.6 just doesn't cut it. My brother-in-law spent a small fortune having a Hellcat engine put in his Wrangler. Then he sunk it in the lake trying to pull out his brand new $300K ski boat that...

I aint skeered to mod my stuff. In fact, that's half the fun of ownership. I can fix anything I can break. 😬

If I am bucking, I am usually using a 50CC. I have 4 (I think) 50CC saws. The Stihl 261 & 260, Husqvarna 550, and the Echo 4910 that's got a ported muff and squish adjustment. I ALWAYS grab the 4910 first, it's my go to little power house.

I am at work currently and not at the service shop. It would require quite a bit of effort to drive there JUST to snap an "easy" picture to prove to you what I say is true. To be honest, I couldn't care less whether you believe it or not. It changes nothing either way. But if you spend a little...

I think there is a need for diesel engines but as of right now, I do not have one. I would rather not ever have to have one again. Gas engines can be great pulling machines. the Ford 7.3 Godzilla gasser is a beast of an engine and we run them in our F650's here. My favorite engine that Ford...

My 2004 F250 with the 6.0 had the head gaskets go at 78K miles. My FIL (he bought the truck new) had the engine bullet proofed at a cost of around $7500. He didn't drive it much and when I bought it off of him, the FICM had went bad due to him driving on weak batteries. I replaced the FICM with...

@ArlyA It looks like you have been pondering buying, and asking questions here about tractor purchasing since 2016 but have never pulled the trigger yet. Are you looking for one for yourself or one for your club to use? Have you made the absolute decision to finally buy one or still just...

Won't you also need to switch out tires immediately as well or do you plan to run tire chains? This one is located in Indiana.

We test drove the Bronco Sport and it was tiny. It felt just like my moms Ford Escape. I think they are very similar vehicles with just different body lines. We also test drove the full size Bronco and she didn't like that one either. She's extremely picky with vehicles though....

I have the 27 ton Champion log splitter and really like it. I haven't found anything it will not split and I have put some massive splits on that machine. It always starts first or second pull no matter how cold it is. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I added rear remotes and a 3rd function to my Kubota by buying Summit valve and plumbing it all in. I saved a ton of money verses buying a "kit". This isn't rocket science and so easy to do. Don't understand why people pay so much money for these kits. I had to fab my own brackets but that's not...

The 370 has the K57 while the 380 has the K58 that he talks about above. https://www.kanzaki.co.jp/en/products/transmission/iht_k_k46k57k58k62k66k72.html

And just think, they didn't have to pay a single penny for the design or engineering. They just stole that off the companies who did and started making the product. :oops:

F250 with the 6.2V8. That is one very good engine and a very stout transmission with it as well. I have seen one guy get a million miles with nothing but regular maintenance (and he's still putting miles on it). We have an entire fleet of them here who my BIL manages and he says they are one of...

Thanks! That's who I have been looking at for it.

How many tons of bentonite did you use? It may have been said already and I just missed it. Also, where did you get it at?

Very sad situation. We had a tractor accident happen in the next county over last week that claimed the life of a 4 year old child and a 67 year old woman. They still haven't released any details on what happened other than they were both run over by the tractor.

I would buy a tank, pump, hose and gun and make your own. Very simple to do and usually end up with a better pump and something designed to use exactly the way you need it.

I'm very much a husky guy and would choose most Huskys over a Stihl any day. All depends on the saw though for me.

I love Echo saws. I own a few of them and enjoy each one. Some of the models are better than Stihl or Husky and some of them aren't. But one thing is for sure, Echo's warranty flat out sucks. They give you a 5 year warranty but will do absolutely anything to deny a warranty claim, and even if...

The lines within just a few feet of this tree is my incoming service. The main lines running down the road are further out but still within reach if this 100+ foot Oak if it were to come down. They won't trim it.

It's a dangerous task for sure. I am a trained climber so that definitely helps.

Hickory is one of the top woods for smoking BBQ. You can even go to Walmart and buy it in bags along with Apple, cherry, and mesquite.

:ROFLMAO: I haven't had my hands on a "new to me" saw for a few months and am really getting the itch to play with something different!

Where you ordering them at?

I sell several cords a year of hickory and cherry to my local bbq joints.

The Home Depot near me still has several new in box Echo 4910's in stock.

I've got a massive oak tree in my front yard that's dead and needs to come down. I am gonna have to climb it and take it down from the top down. Worst of all is it's right next to large power lines. Not looking forward to it...

One of these came up for sale by me yesterday for $75 and has been used once according to the guy. Thought about picking it up.

I originally purchased a QH like this one and then bought the Pat's which I like much more than this style of hitch.

I have spent so much time outside as a youth that my shoulders use to bleed from sunburns. I spent a lot of time diving in the ocean as a kid. And I do usually try to stay protected as much as possible now but it has been in the 90's here with no wind and no shade, I couldn't handle a tshirt in...

I spent two days this weekend shirtless working in the hot sun all day long still building this massive pool she bought. I am as as red as a lobster and pretty uncomfortable right now. As much as I despise having an office job, times like this it pays off.

I don't see it listed on the TSC website.

For the love of god, it's a Timber WOLF, not BEAR! We have told you this a 100 times! 😜😜

Cougars are not supposed to live here in Indiana but I have seen one 3 separate times. I am waiting to some day see a black bear roam through.

My experience with several Echo saws, over many years now, is that they're set lean from the factory. I have yet to come across one set rich.

Are you talking about the surface conditioning tool? If so, I just bought the Hercules model of this tool a couple months ago.. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet. I have been buying different drums so I will be prepared for what's needed hen I get to that point...

Once the grapple comes off and you are now just switching attachments that don't require the 3rd function, you no longer need to leave your seat to do anything up front. The hydraulic QA will do everything for you, so you can swap through all those attachments from your seat.

I have washed and stained hundreds of decks. I have seen good trex and cheap trex. It is easier to wash than wood, though.. Best decks IMO are aluminum but they're pretty costly.

You will still need to pressure wash that Trex, especially in MI.

I have the Ego 765 blower and I regret buying it. Battery doesn't last very long. I ended up buying a large Echo backpack blower. I use the Ego to blow dust out of the garage, and to blow grass clippings off of the gazebo patio now. About what it's good for....

When I am running the trimmer, it's full throttle while it's actually cutting something. I have 14 year old twins and one runs like I do, and the other one just gives it enough gas to cut whatever he's cutting at the time. I find it amusing.

I have welded 1/4" with my Hobart 140. It's a great little welder. On the cheap, these both get good reviews. ArcCaptain YesWelder

About a year ago, the university I work for was auctioning off a low hour running John Deere 445 diesel garden tractor with a front hydraulic snow blade. I had been watching the auction for a week and was hoping to get the tractor. I ended up having to help someone up on another floor and was...

I agree that it's better to buy a commercial mower over a homeowner model if you're mowing very much. The quality is definitely better. But I still don't see the commercial offerings of today lasting 30+ years.

The crap they make today for lawn care is absolute junk meant to be used for a handful of years and be sent to the scrap yard. Definitely not meant to last 30+ years like the old stuff was. But that's with most things manufactured today.

My little Echo 2511T weighs so little and is such a screamer, you have no desire for an electric saw. There is no stopping and recharging, just fill up and get back to work. I will never own another electric saw again.

Yeah I figured so much so. I own a 590 as well which I have muff modded. It's a runner for sure.

So my co-worker has a 2020 F150 with the 10 speed. He was having some transmission issues and talked to my brother about it who always services his vehicle for him. My Brother is the director over the motor pool here at the university where he manages 100's of our fleet vehicles, almost all of...

Whoa that's a lot of bar for that saw!

I will have to disagree. The stuff from from decades ago were built way beefier and better than anything made today, apples for apples. The over-all build on these old machines were just better, they built them to last an not to just throw away. And as you pointed out, they had axles meant for...

I like the older stuff way better than the crap they make today. I have a fondness for old 80's model JD and CC garden tractors.

On my angle grinders, I always put the disks or the wire wheels on and off by hand. I usually wear gloves to get a better bite and save my hands which are in rough shape to begin with.

Sorry to hear about your issues. Having owned diesel trucks with costly emissions issues, I absolutely was not buying a tractor with a lick of emissions on it. Thankfully for me, I was able to avoid it.

The Ikon wrenches go on sale today for members. It's 40% off which is about the best deal they ever give on them. I have been eyeballing this set...

Yeah my first thought reading his "add" was he was trying to mislead buyers into thinking it was not an emissions tractor.

Remember, they're never paid off. ;)

Nice looking package there! I didn't think you got Def until 75HP but it will certainly have DPF and still an emissions tractor (not that it matters to you). The Hydraulics on the rear and the 3rd function are very nice features to have. I may like that pre-emissions Kubota a little better though.

LOL I catch your drift nowwww..... Had that conversation took place FTF, I would have immediately picked up what you were laying down :ROFLMAO:

LOL I started mowing on one of these when I was a kid and always wanted another one. I had been watching for one to pop up for a while now when this one was listed as junk and wanted it gone. That thing mows really nice!

I just dragged an old 80's snapper like this out of a junk pile. It wasn't running but I rebuilt the starter, replaced the carb, totally rewired the entire mower, replace the drive wheel (clutch/brake), new belt and new blade. It's driving and mowing perfectly now. I figured it will be a good...

I have a really large flag pole in front of my house and it's never been struck since I have lived there. But there are some very large oak trees nearby too which I would imagine would get hit before the flag pole would.

Oh I agree, being outside is the best! I am not a man who watches TV or spends my time inside. When I get home from work every day, I change my clothes and head straight outside only to come in to go to bed. Same on weekends, straight outside until dark every day. I have 20 acres that keeps me...

I have a 4 acre yard and can't stand it. Trying to get some of it to turn back into woods. I couldn't imagine maintaining a 10 acre yard!

If you are panting ANYWHERE close to an HVAC outside condenser unit, make absolute sure you turn it off so that it isn't pulling in any air. It will suck the paint right into it from pretty far distances.I made this mistake early in my power washing career staining decks.

It's reversible and I own a power washing business so this is is what I do. But the modernized look is very much still in around here.

Oh I hear you. My home was built in the 60's but fully remodeled right before we bought it two years ago. The only thing left original is the hardwood floors (they were refinished and very stunning) and the original massive brick fireplace. It's the centerpiece of our living/dining/kitchen area...

Oh I agree but she doesn't like the color and wants the house to have a more modernized appearance. She wants a different look all together. :censored:

The 2K is the full install, erecting the pool and final leveling. They said they will also hook up the pump/filter and have the pool filling when they leave. I forgot to mention to them I intended to put a bottom drain in so I am digging that out this week and plumbing it. I am an electrician...

I forage a lot of mushrooms from my woods - oysters, lions mane, chickens, pheasant back, turkey tail, etc. My favorite are the oyster mushrooms. I can fry them up and they taste very similar to a morel.

I find that a hydraulic top link is vital for how I use my tractor. It gives me precise control over my box blade an tiller, and is a must when using the middle buster. I initially had two rear ports but found I never used the second one so I sent it to the front to run my grapple. You could do...

What the contractor said they do is level each of the buttress, then they make the legs on the round ends to the same height, and then grade out the middle area by hand using a large rake. He said the inner doesn't need to be exact, just the perimeter obviously. He said they also use blocking...

I have a $5,000 commercial grade laser transit for leveling. We got hooked up with a good contractor and they're coming next week to install the pool for a great cost of $2K. Said they will show up with 5 guys and be filling the pool when they leave. Very experienced outfit who told me things...

When I install my grapple, I shut the tractor off and cycle the valve to relieve all system pressure. I always keep the grapple hoses connected to each other when it's off the tractor. I have never had a single issue with connecting the grapple this way.

And that's surprising because the Ranger is a great truck. My nephew pulled my brothers 40HP JD cabbed tractor on a 20' steel decked trailer, loaded down with implements too and said the Ranger pulled it no problem.

On all of my power washing trailers, I set the tank up higher than the pump inlet so they will self prime. But my smallest tank is 150 gallons so there is some force there. I also always run a "T" valve off of the tank with one side going to the washer, and one side for when I just need some...

I think it will make for a great machine for you. I don't know much about the Yamaha SxS but the Yamaha 700 ATV is a beast of a machine and super reliable.

I have metal straps that attach to one side of the pool and go to the other side of it. The rounded ends of the pool don't have these so leveling there isn't critical and is the only place I could create a "deep end".

I appreciate seeing all the different ideas on a good way to do this.

I haven't either and driving through Bloomington every day, I haven't seen very many trees down from the storm. The storm we had last year with the straight line winds were much worse, trees down all over the city!.

The last two years have been horrible for me. I have picked as many of 27 off of me at one time. I was in my asphalt driveway just last week putting new calipers and rotors on my truck and wasn't even laying on the ground or anywhere near grass and had one climbing up my neck.

Mine definitely came from that program. I am a former AT&T lineman and talked to one of my former lineman I worked with. He said my service will be turned on June 1st as they're making final splices now.

Welcome! I am in Southern Indiana. You might look around for a used Kubota 2501. I see them pop up all the time with under 100 hours for around $16-17K. Heck this week I see a Kubota 3901 with $8K in implements included for $20K and the tractor was nice with only 300 hours. The deals are out...

Fiber has been siting in my front yard for weeks now. I know the x-box is wired up down the road, everything is there and ready to go, so I have no idea what the hold-up is. But AT&T still doesn't recognize that it's there ready to be installed.

I would like to have one just to install a 346 top end on it. :cool:

I missed a good buy on a Husky 350 this weekend, dang thing looked new and was $100.

Multiple tornadoes in my area Saturday with one death that I have heard of. I see the damage every morning on my ride into work. They have said the strongest was an F2 which I seen videos of it. After the storm passed, I walked outside and looked up and seen the oddest looking clouds, guess...

Not sure I have the available cash right now since I just bought a commuter car to save mileage on my truck, but maybe. Are you interested in selling either?

I bought a brand new 359 sometime in the mid 2000's and it was a great saw. Wish I had it back! Are you selling this one or keeping it?

I get what you're saying now and it makes perfect sense.

So am in an area that I have access to very clean sand as well as fine grind from the quarry down the road. Both are really clean and would work. I think the fine grind may actually work better than the sand for under the liner as it might not be as squishy. I do have a very thick felt pad that...

It's a permanent recessed pool meant to be partially above, and partially below ground. Yes, it is gonna be a nightmare. I have had two estimates to install it, one for $7000 and one for $8000. The company that came out last week to give an estimate said they are the hardest pool to install and...

Not sure that I asked that specific question. I ran several scenarios to my agent who answered them all. Finally her response was it covered absolutely ANYTHING that can happen to my tractor. Any loss of it from partial to complete would be covered at new replacement value. She never said...

Thanks,, I have one just a couple miles down the road so I will check it out.

the legs sit directly on the earth, the sand base goes inside the walls under the liner. And the directions state to not build up to elevation, but to cut down to elevation so that you have firmly compacted earth under the legs. And a perfectly straight 2x4 is about all I could come up with for...

I like the grade marker idea really well. I had used paint to mark the grade after shooting with the laser but that quickly wore off and found myself constantly re-shooting. Once I get it level, I then have 16 "L" shaped posts (8 on each side), and the foot of each post which is about 36" long...

That link was just to the actuator which has multiple size options.

Farmers Insurance is who I used.

I covered my new Kubota tractor on my home owners insurance for $170 a year. That's replacement insurance and not pro-rated. It covers accidental damage as well such as if I were to bend the loader, rip the axle out etc.

That's not an issue, I am not trying to achieve a certain height above the ground. At least not enough that a foot either way will matter much. I have it leveled really close now but having a very hard time getting it within an inch. I am thinking there is no other way than using a shovel.

It can be done pretty cheap with an electric actuator. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DH1Y5LYK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A1G08MQYZLM28Q&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B9RF1FWS/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?smid=AOTJB6UAIIPDH&psc=1

I plan to do a manual valve. I suppose I could do an electric one and mount the valve on the loader.

I thought about doing the electric version of it, but think I would rather do it with hydraulics.

Yup!

None of the poison weeds effected my dad. He would rip it out by hand and never would get a rash or itch. I am extremely allergic to it. One day a few years ago I spent the entire day cutting wood and was drinking beer too which naturally makes ya have to urinate frequently. Well, I ended up...

Yeah I do have a laser level. Maybe building up instead of cutting down is the better way. I am all ears for sure.

Yes exactly. I swap between forks and bucket attachments quite a bit and that's really what it will be used for. The valve will be mounted right by the seat for easy operation.

I honestly have considered this!!! :D

So help me out guys. I have a pool to finish installing that I never got completed last year and the miss is on me to get it finished this year. The pool itself measures 21’x43’ and need about 3' outside of that, and it needs to be leveled within +-1”. I have cut down into the ground about 30”...

My 13 year old twins currently do all the weed trimming, raking, picking up sticks and it's a huge help. Their last day of school is Friday. I just bought a 2nd riding mower, and surprise surprise, these two boys are getting ready to take on 100% of all yard duties. :ROFLMAO: Now they will be...

I use to love mowing until I bought a ZT. now it's more of a chore because I can't carry a beer with me. (n)

This is equivalent to fighting an 8 year old child and then 20 years later fighting the same guy who is now the heavy weight champ of the UFC. ;)

I sharpen the blades on my 3 spindle ZT deck. I have a dedicated 2" wide belt grinder that I use for knife making so it makes quick work of the mower blades. Usually takes me under a 1/2 hour to remove the blades, sharpen, and remount. Costs me nothing.

That's much better pricing. Thanks!

Find yourself a good used John Deere 318. I had one that I ran a hydraulic 3pnt hitch on with a 4' box blade and it worked well. I have seen a few posted for sale within the last week around me for cheap. I have owned a few 3 series JD garden tractors and they were nice. I would like to pickup...

I considered an electric one but just liked the idea of a manual one. I have a place I could mount it next to the two spool valve that I use for 3rd function and top link that way I could operate from the eat. I suppose it would be pretty simple to mount an electronic valve elsewhere and just...

I have been considering converting my SSQA on my Kubota to hydraulic. I have a true 3rd function operated off a Summit valve. I was thinking about using a manual splitter valve so that I switch a lever one way and it controls the SSQA cylinder, and then flip the other way and it's back to...

This will never happen. Canada would have a much better chance of becoming the 51st state before Alaska would ever become the 11th province. Keep in mind that the US has the power to take Canada, but Canada doesn't have the power to take the US. I personally don't want Canada joining the US.

Better buy up the good ones while we can!

Several years ago I use to work for one of the largest aggregate companies in the country. One of my quarries had an accident where an employee flipped one of the large off-road haul trucks and they immediately held a drug test for all employees. They lost several people that day. I think drugs...

On my Kubota, as long as you're not pressing the treadle pedal to move, then you can stand up or get off the tractor and it doesn't kill the engine - you don't need to set the parking brake to do this. If I am pressing on the treadle and try to stand up, it kills it.

Check the fuel tank vent.

Seems high to me. A year ago I was quoted $33,300 for a new ROPS 3560 with 805 loader. What does the cab add $8000? So that would put a new one at around $41,000. Not sure what a used snow blower and 3 remotes is worth. But it seems their asking price is awful close to new price. I would think a...

I didn't use a kit, I purchased a two spool valve from summit and plumbed it in. I mounted the valve on the right side fender where it's just inches away from the tip of the loader valve so operating it is so easy and feels very natural. I honestly can't see it being any better or easier. Had I...

I bought my tractor intentionally without rear remotes with the plan of doing it myself. Cost me about $400 to add them where the dealer wanted 4 times that to add them before delivery.

The 2502 is a great tractor and I really enjoy mine. The brakes being moved to the left where they should have been, and the suspension seat are very worthwhile upgrades over the 2501. But with that said, I also would look for a nice used 2501 if price is the main concern. In my area, I see 2501...

When I was shopping for my first new tractor, I went beyond just asking people in the various tractor groups what they liked. I knew I would get many biased opinions. I started talking to tractor mechanics and large independent tractor shops. What I heard from them was the the Korean tractors...

I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 30+ saws but the 562, 2511T, and the Echo 4910 typically always go with me. My 4910 probably gets the most use as I just love that saw. But it's pretty tweaked and absolutely screams.

The Echo always goes back with me when I am out.

I'd love to get my hands on the 564!

So it weighs more the the 2511T. I am not a fan of battery saws because I want to just refill and go verses waiting on a battery to charge. But I cut 100X more wood than the average guy does. The 2511T is so light and punches well above its class.

I have owned several stihls over the years and still own a 261cm and 026 Pro. I prefer Husky for any of the newer saws but the 400 sure is tempting!

Man I wish my Rural King would drop the Stihl line and pick up Husqvarna!!! I have to drive an hour to my Husky dealer.

Pretty much every family has at least one truck where I am at. The norm around here is 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton trucks. For some weird reason, everyone around here thinks they need a diesel even though they don't tow or haul things. I needed a diesel for a very long time so I was forced to own them...

It's the sales that ALWAYS gets me. I constantly am buying things there because they're on sale. LOL

I would use a pump. You can get galvanized pipe and put T's in between each section and use power washing nozzles to create a spray pattern. This way you can make your spray bar as wide as you want and have as many nozzles that you want. I would think a nozzle every 12" would be plenty. It will...

I wondered how that worked.

Your Rural King sells Husqvarna? Mine only sells Stihl unfortunately.

I can only wonder what future landfills and the repercussions of mass amounts of large batteries will be like.

No saw is bulletproof and they are easily damaged buy a careless or inexperienced operator. One improper fueling, or ran too hot can leave them needing a rebuild. But if you know saws, it's pretty easy to see what you're buying.

Where do I get the latest version, or how can I tell it's the latest version? Thanks man!

How ya like that ratcheting scrench? I have been thinking about buying one.

About 15 years ago, I hit the same post two different times and crunched in the entire side of my brand new quad cab F150, and it happened just a few weeks apart, and after having been repaired from the first time. Ugh!

What you should look at is the size of the engine. The B2601 has the D1105 1.1 liter engine producing 53.4 pounds of torque verses the much larger 2502 1.6 liter D1703 engine that produces 71 pounds of torque. Something that is noteworthy is that the D1703 engine was designed to be a 35HP engine...

ohhhhh boy!

If I were looking at a new SxS, those would be my top 3 as well.

I bought a used tiller that had been used one time and the guy wrapped it full of heavy fence wire, it was wound so tight it was a nightmare. I took the acetylene torch to it and made quick work of it.

The feller who makes the turbo kit for the Kubota L2501 said he will be making one for this engine eventually. I think he's working on it now but not entirely sure of that, just that his "focus" is on it....

Prayers for you man. I am really sorry to hear this!

I really like the Yanmars and wish I had considered them when I was buying. But I am perfectly happy with my Kubota. If I ever buy another tractor, I would definitely look at them.

Thanks! The light bar has been perfect there and the side lights are nice too. They can be aimed where ever I want them. I haven't had any damage to it yet and I do a ton of tree and brush work with it. I put it on a separate switch that comes from the battery so that I can use them even if the...

Made mine out of 10ga punched steel.

Why not just make one yourself exactly to your specs. That's what I did and it was much heavier built than anything I could buy, and I think it looks better too. Had $60 in material and a couple hours of work.

I was kind of thinking along the same lines. More information would be really nice as maybe someone here would have a better idea of tackling the issue. And if you're gonna lay that many lines, might as well put in a sprinkler system.
