Good morning!!!!

[Popgadget]

Living in Vermont, I've never had a tractor (even when living in PA) without a block heater. Is it always necessary? No, but it's so much easier on the engine...

When I bought my present tractor, a Kubota L6060, the dealer said that they didn’t offer a block heater, which I don’t really believe, but I keep it in a heated shop, so it’s not really an issue. But I would not have something outside or in unseated space in the winter here and expect it to start reliably.

Had the old MF 203 for over 30 years and it has served me really well over the years. It does not like cold starts and needs to use the engine heater to start. If you look at the picture you can see brown paint on the front end loader arms that is where it broke and I had to weld the arms back together. Also it does not brake very well but I never bothered to fix it (brakes inside the axles is a PITA) so
had to carefull to be in the right gear going downhills or use the bucket to stop by dragging on the ground

Good little tractor with a loader. Gear transmission and did the job for a few years including running a 60" Land Pride rotary cutter. I traded off for a 790 because I needed more PTO HP for a chipper (Woods 5000)

Well, I got my post plucked because I explained the reasons for fuel being high....and a warning.

I'm starting to feel like my good friend Ron.

Understandable

The little bell notice said "Your post in the Good morning thread was moved to another thread".

I looked around and couldn't find it.

I guess the dumpster thread.

Drew, sorry for your woes at your meeting. I have to ask some questions, you don't have to answer.

Does the man need help? Does he have the time? Does he have the equipment? Are there things in his life that take him elsewhere? Does he get paid? Can someone else be hired to do it? Does the cemetery need more money for perpetual care?

I just hope you can look back on this, hold your head up high and be esteemed by your fellow patrons as a solver/helper and not something else.

Consider your gifting of the tractor as a gift, where your left hand doesn't know what the right hand was doing. Yes, humans were involved and we all fall from grace. I hope you can find peace.

35 when we got up too much reading today for me
Bought pumpkin yesterday out by side porch store done arm elbow still no lifting tried but no.

Drew maybe this will help my mother at gift giving or donating time she gave with love in her heart and had no problem if one took it back exchanged it etc. in moms mind it was the thought that counted. The same applied to donations to schools and organizations

Prayers for all our Country
