    I Won't Operate My Equipment in Wet Weather

    If I can help it, that is. Of course I get caught by a shower now and then, but really try to avoid that. With what I do, dusty conditions, as well as fine vegetation particles get into the radiators, and I've had a mess to clean out, before. I've other people's radiators nearly completely...

    Snow and all weather cabs

    Has anyone else found covermytractor.com for their tractors? They have a lot of soft cabs, covers, and canopies for different manufacturers and models. They even have things for skid steers, wheel loaders, and excavators. If anyone has any information or feed back on them, I would appreciate it...

    What site do you use for weather forecast?

    For years I have used NOAA. Yet it seems like they read what other sites say, then change their forecast. I get tired of reading one thing, then talking to somebody who tells me an altogether different forecast which turns out to be right.

    Cold weather starting

    What is everyone using for their cold weather starts? I have 1 magnetic heater but I'm thinking of getting a second one for my tractor this winter. It does have a glow plug (which I replaced 2 or 3 years ago) and it doesn't seem to work that great when its really cold out (10F or less). This is...

    Gelled fuel in 80 degree weather?

    Yesterday my son filled my Yanmar YM2310 from the 5 gallon plastic fuel can. Today I removed the filler cap and looked into the fuel filler filter screen and noticed some sort of jell in the bottom of the screen. So I looked in the 5 gallon can and noticed a little water in the bottom. Maybe a...

    No crank in cold weather

    My ns4710 which has 7 hours on it was starting fine until I parked it outside at 10 degrees F. Tried to start it and it would not crank although all light on dash looked normal and battery checked out as nearly fully charged. I bypassed the seat switch and it cranked fine. Seems likely the...
