Both good ideas!

Please post whatever solution you come up with. I leave my loader on all the time, minus attachments, depending on work being done. I definitely would like holes in front for chains.

Ready To Use, right out of the bottle, as in no mixing.

Saw the inet pic as soon as I looked it up. Already ordered. Should be here by Mon. I've watched vids of the guys using air guns to zap iguanas in Fla. Looks like fun. But just like hogs....nothing but invasive species ruining natural habitat and wildlife. I really like Fla. but the iguana and...

Thanks, I'll check it out. The others I've seen required drilling into the cowling and were secured with a plastic coated wire on the gun. Btw, that looks more like a 700 BDL than an air rifle. 😁

Mr Yanmar, did you get that from a professional glazier and adapt it or ???? I'd like something similar. Any details? TIA

Ha. I don't think that bumper was ever intended to actually push anything. Mainly there for looks. But, add some pierced tin or heavy screen like Avenger to it and it might help with limbs, sticks etc puncturing the screen on the hood. I thought you mainly used the 573 to move rock/gravel. Are...

Nice.

I think you have something there. I was mowing last week, had lifted the mower to make a turn and got a loud beep. Immediately stopped, shifted down, slowed down and no more beep. Once straightened out, dropped the mower and back to normal. I did not pop out of gear etc. Your statement of...

Maybe we have a different variety. You mow the ones here and you spread thorns. The thorns here don't go away as the tree gets bigger.....the thorns get bigger as the tree gets bigger.

The guy on Facebook needs his butt kicked.

Was it a "knock off" grubber or the real thing? I posted a pic of both sizes of the real thing. If you were able to bend either you must have driven over it. I've used them to pull small trees and trees up to about 1 1/2" or a bit over. I placed a bar between my rear lift arms, hook a chain to...

Yes. I'll cut the trunk IF I can get to it, leave a short stump and spray it. Lots of times the limbs sag almost to the ground and I'm not interested in getting stabbed trying to saw the trunk. So I'll increase the sprayer pressure just a tad and spray the trunk base over the bark etc. It does...

TimberFarm this maybe from riding the clutch. Especially at higher rpm will eventually cause damage to the clutch pack.

Read the manual. In my manual it's P. 3-40 & P. 3-41. You have 8 seconds to release, if you don't it will release automatically.

I move lots of hay with the 573. Usually using just the hand controls. Easy. The shuttle takes a bit of time to get used to IF you grew up using the clutch. My wifes BIL helps sometimes ( he owns JD but likes my LS cab much better), anyway he can't adjust and when using the LS he uses the...

I thought it just made it easier to slip your hat on and off.

I'm liking that smouldering pile of ash.....😁

Yes. VERY satisfying to watch these little sob's burn. I'll add a few pics. 1st pic is the bean pod on a thorny branch. 2nd is a Grubber (if you don't have many locusts). Buy the larger model. 3rd and 4th pics show thorn trunks etc. If you have these trees you will always have a burn pile. Also...

I think in Tx and La it's the same tree. Honey locust or water locust. Whatever. I deal with these trees all the time. It's a never ending battle. Thorns are often 6" long with 2 other thorns at the base of the 6" thorn. The trees produce pods that have beans in them (yes, they are edible). Some...

Thanks for the update. I'm still planning on doing 2 test patches too. However, we've had so much rain lately, I just got the herbicide sprayed yesterday. You'll be ahead so please continue to post results. Thanks

Really like that grill guard. Good job.

Credit to Jasper Frank: That said, Texas is a beautiful place to visit, enjoy your stay, but then you should all just go back home.

VERY NICE! You'll love the cab AND having the OS. Congrats.

I noticed Homestead Implements has gone from 4-6 week delivery to 5-7 week delivery. Has anyone received a grapple from Homestead in the 4-6 week time frame? Wondering if they are headed to 2-3 month delivery times, or will they be able to increase production to meet demand.

Omg. I thought those dang tumbleweeds were only in West Tx. What a pain. Buy the best grapple/tool you can afford. You'll never regret buying quality. Is your fence line a property boundary? If not, take the new root grapple and clear that nasty scrub brush away from the fence.

Excellent choice. It's really all about options now.

OP. You list having a NH TC-40. Keep it for working deep in the woods. Open station, and those are great little tractors. Follow Williy's advice: get the cab, don't eat dust, don't snort pollen/ragweed etc, work when it's 100+ in the summer, work when it's cold as a witches boob in the winter. I...

No pure R&R, no pure CMAHOF....it's all a jumbled up mess of political inclusion. Music has very little to do with it. Bluegrass is one of the last remaining holdouts of mostly pure genre (not necessarily song selection, but instruments and vocal styles). In agree with the OP. RRHOF should be...

1. No. 2. I've had no problems with parts not being available. (I wish LS was cross-referenced on ALL filters). Had 3 different LS dealer interactions, 1 went out of business, 2 was a clown dealership, 3 was absolutely very professional. Look at the dealer not just the price. LS...

I don't care how old this thread gets. Post your results. Pics if there's noticeable differences. I'm going to do 2 test patches. The only difference will be the Lime treatments. Fertilizer, N, and 2-4D will be the same. This might be interesting.

3 Horse Ranch: " Rick Huffman, sales guy.

Nice!

None? No 2-4D, Dicamba, Weedmaster etc ? Or just Glyphosate?

Did they give a rec tip size? For "droplet" size? A lot can be controlled by pressure setting. But that's mainly spread and flow rates.

Wish they'd just post their prices. Considering running a test. Maybe 5ac using a liquid and 5ac using pelletized. Sock the N to all ac at green up time and see which little patch does the best (if any difference). Pelletized will need to be put down fairly soon. Liquid treated as a foliar spray...

I'd be interested too. IF someone who has actually used this type product could post crop results good or bad. Thanks in advance.

I feel your pain! The guys at RCO were nice. But the east Tx dealership just closed up with no warning. Not too happy about that. Glad your machine has been trouble free. Really do like the area where you're living.

And I thought we were having a discussion. Maybe trying to see all angles. I had no idea I was wailing, gnashing my teeth or making childish statements. I won't be arguing with any internet keyboard warrior. Pointless. So I guess I'll stomp my feet, pick up my toys and go home now. (Btw, the...

Correct. I don't know. But, it is what I think.

Wait and see if Ted loses in court and goes completely under? Wait and see if Ted wins in court and decides to open back up? Either way there's no guarantee brother Teddy is going to refund or make good on orders already placed. Not everyone can roll the dice with a $3,000 - $4500 payment for...

I agree. And the ones having fun making the big bucks will be the attorneys. However, if Ted keeps his head down, so to speak, and his mouth shut......how would refunding $ or completing orders already in cue hurt his law suit? Other than some issue in the suit alleging loss of income due to...

So, about 8 years ago they damaged his house to retrieve 7oz of devil weed? Any details? Like did they have a warrant to search his residence for weed? Was there a conviction? I don't particularly care what a grown man does in the privacy of his own home. I do care that he's screwed a bunch of...

...of maybe 5 different ways? 1. get the grapple. 2. don't get the grapple. 3.get the $ refunded. 4. lose the $. 5. don't get the grapple AND lose the $. ?????? I don't know if this has been answered or not; why don't they continue to use the old factory until the new one gets torn down, fixed...

This all totally sux. I absolutely hate a quality product manufactured in the US to go belly up. I hate hard working folks have lost their jobs. I especially hate that customers have lost or might lose their hard earned $$$. No real "customer service", explanation, apology, or refund offers to...

I agree, totally screwed up. Make $ to cover the initial cost of $350,000 will be tough. How much land do you already own, is it "in Ag"?. If not already in Ag it will take a few years before it will convert. IF the adjacent 10ac is already in Ag, you should be able to keep that exemption (and...

Traditional solution, practical and cheap. However, this part of the country requires larger holes so it calls for .45acp, but .38sp will work in a pinch.

Nice! Both posts: good info to know. Thanks.

Always interested in Mt 573. Good or bad. Electronic or mechanical. Thanks for posting this, good to know.

You'll love the tractor. Hope you have a good dealer close by.

I agree 100%. The $200 stamp is a NFA/ATF money grab and has no business being applied to a suppressor. Period.

We got about a inch in yesterdays rain, but, lots of high winds last night and this morning. Still a few buffeting winds out on the highways this afternoon.

He may not know. Trusses are pre-fab and can span large areas without other support (walls or posts). Rafter/ joist are usually cut and framed on site.

Hawk, go on and staple them. It's a cheap insurance there will be air flow. Fiberglass batts do not perform well when packed tight. I used that exact system on a rafted 22' vaulted ceiling w/ 5/8" drywall. Customer has had 0 complaints years later. Good luck.

Store it on the ground. Btw, I like what you did for a grill guard.

Sorry it's taken so long to follow up on the original post. I've been busy with Fall chores etc. Anyway, here are a couple of pics showing the seam split in the fuel tank, and the bottom of fuel tank. Once the tractor was hauled to ANOTHER dealer (not the aforementioned dealer) the repair was...

I'm glad you have a dealer you like. I wish I was confident in the local (100 miles or less) LS dealers available to my area.

I had to order a strap wrench from auto store to fit the hyd filter. It was a beast to get off. In fact I couldn't get it to break loose. My sons couldn't get it off either. Finally had a shop mechanic come out. Mechanic had to remove back right wheel, use my strap wrench and a 3' cheater bar to...

Thanks for PSS/filter change as a whine solution. Probably have that issue at some point. I use the TC-40 with forks, 6' shredder and box blade. Have other implements sized for it but those 3 are the ones I use 99% of the time. Also, take it into the woods to clear trails etc TimberFarm, let us...

I feel your pain. My original dealer had a crummy looking shop. But, they would answer the phone and I think their mechanic/tech was fairly competent. Until they went out of business. I do most of my own maintenance. Before they closed shop, I bought a LS Filter Pack that was supposed to have...

Sounds like your alarm warnings are working fine. The alarm warning I was getting wasn't just a few beeps, it was a constant shrill alarm. The tractor worked fine (except for the constant alarm and flashing dash). However the shrill alarm is there to let you know something isn't right. Anyway it...

I'm glad yours has made it 275 hrs with no issues. i think finding a competent dealer (that's not 150 miles away) will be trying. The tractor was hauled to the current "dealer" on the 29th. So it's been there a few days shy of 2 weeks. There is no choice but to just wait it out. I'll post when...

A slow speed sharp turn will get my MT 573 to whine, but whine goes away as wheels straighten. Mine does not slow down while lifting or adjusting the bucket to curl. Hope that helps. Are you using the throttle or pedal? I also own a NH TC40-D and its been a great tractor. Good luck.

Codes: 110200 & F01. First, the dealer sent his mechanic to my farm with a laptop for OBD. (I agreed to pay the trip charge). However, he couldn't access the program needed because he didn't have a password. (wasted trip). Then they got a "update" from LS. Ran the OBD. The problem was the...

Thank you for the welcome. Considering several options. Yes, I have dates, times, names, email/text strings etc documented. Yes sir, a lot of good info on this site. The kick in the gut here is that I like the tractor. But I can't have this much money tied up in a tool that doesn't work or...

Codes: 110200 & F01. Hours: 97.8 (1-9-2023) All maintenance complete, on schedule. Ground issues not applicable in this case. (good solution though)

Yes sir, frustrating experience would be a understatement. First time in to be repaired....it wasn't. Second time in to be repaired .....was as if the 3 Stooges had taken over. But I'll admit they did get the "alarm" to stop screaming. Now that the fuel tank has a leak, I'm afraid I may not get...

I have been a lurker. Yes, a lowly lurker off and on, for quite awhile. Joining now seeking info or advice regarding a particular issue. Maybe you guys can help. The back story: I bought a MT 573cps in late Nov 2021. I put it to work immediately moving, scraping and hauling dirt, rock and...
