  1. i got a 6.7 cummins you greenies could stick in something and make it a better tractor - sitn on a pallet ready to install im sure you could shoe horn it in and probably wouldnt need ether
  2. Thanks for the pictures matt - when I lived and worked out of bozeman i went through a lot of those places as a field service tech - being from missouri its just hard to imagine the vastness and driving for hours with just the road and an occassional suspect of civilization. I had one customer that was over 70 miles one way on a gravel road and the gravel road was two full lanes wide and you could drive 60 to 70 mph just like a paved road. Amen theres no qwick way across montana and as a pioneer it would have been tough
  3. This ones here at my house visiting shes a gasser was converted from a diesel so its air brakes and 5 over 2 Its my neighbors tjey use it asa farm dumper guess he wants to sell i dont need it but the air seat sure is nice 😁
  4. i cut probably 8 to 10 chord a winter and some random trimming with it, hardwood, oak, black locust, hackberry, hedge ( not a lot ) hickory, ash. i have been cutting for over 45yrs and only hand sharpen with a round file, never hit a raker in my life with a file - i get one new chain per year, run it half way thru the season, and have a sharpened one already to throw on it. A chain will last me 5 or 6 chord or more before it gets dull - keep it out of the dirt!!!!! i have had the same stihl since 2001 or 2 i cant remember for sure and it still RIPs I cut this today - the tractor isnt green its an illusion
  5. with the 200 going away prices are set to go up on the supressors, silencer central has kiosks and was running a deal if you purchased certain brands to waive feels and get a free .22 supressor i personally like the YHM R2 its full auto rated, .22 up to 300 win mag my renter, myself and neighbor have 4 of them pretty dang quiet and they ahve quick attach brakes or flash supressors for putting them off/on each gun https://yhm.net/30-cal-suppressors/resonator-r2-30-cal-suppression-system/
  6. ugh...........sorry about your diagnosis, i hope you are able to live long and happy so you have a 75amp 240 service available or ? i have had 3 stieble eltron units on demand units and would HIGHLY recommend them, their 15 unit draws 60amps a 30 to 40 gal electric would work from the sounds of it and a floor drain type setup with a wand would be great sounds to me like
  7. ive never been sold on anything but results, im kinda finicky that way so expecting me to throw 5k at something to shotgun an issue of poor design or whatever im the wrong guy to bite on that, same with the 6.0 fords, some love them some not so much, ive had great luck with the 6.0 ford once bulletproofed - no issues with subarus cept wheel bearings lots of people buy into green paint too my neighbor has two bugs, always something wonky with them - he calls them a german dodge, Dear old Dads Garage Experiment - electrical gremlins he gave up on his tiguan gave it back to them and got a benz diesel pre def i think u are right, there is a lot of VW stuff out there at least from their parent co that a lot of people use
  8. Great work
  9. Mine looked like thisthen turned into the latter
  10. If you cut the other direction or from the other side of the tree it should be fine
  11. This would be way better
  12. I would hv a 12 v isolated portion and 24v portion unless you know what you are doing and from the age and parts availibility you dont want to be frying things
  13. not sure how VW made it this long, they are the chevy of europe and not the high end US vehicle parts are overpriced and the philosophy of how they are designed to be unique and special and german engineering above what is a lil more standard to troubleshoot in other vehicles for speed, abs, tps, engine controls, its only a matter of time before compatibility/common wins out even the asian vehicles have figure that out bringing their imports here and associating with the us stuff volume/standardization will drive price of parts and easier repairs then aftermarket choices uniqueness will cost and people just are not there when it comes to buying those things same with the EV market, when there is a company that creates a higher standard and make it common, easier to obtain and maintain and operate, that guy will win out.
  14. my neighbor has one, its in his 41 lincoln - its very smooth and sounds cool i think i have posted it on here before
  15. Today was testing out my shoulder running saw and chopping wood im sore but got my first batch done and got flu and stove going with first fire tonite
  16. happy thanksgiving to all - keep the faith through whatever you are facing - God is good all the time we have so much to be thankful for
  17. So they work in unison with one gauge? If it says 1/4 tank on gauge is it top or bottom tank?
  18. so how does the fuel gauge work, does it take into account the lower saddle tank or just the upper one? asking for a friend
  19. hope you get it going @lorenzo
  20. @IHRunner aw heck sorry to hear that, savor the memories thinking about you
  21. im with you guys on the sizes and blue/red newer than older for better hydraulics / live power / maybe even power steering regarding narrow front and his flatter ground - i grew up as a kid on a 400lp with a loader and narrow front and it was great - your pucker factor will keep you in check and I was a dumb kid driving it - we had hills for hay/square bales and rounds and 400 did fine, if it will stay on the trailer the tractor can handle the hill since its flat you should get along pretty good with a 4ton cart but i would err on the side of bigger vs smaller and good brakes/tires trying to use it on sketchy places for traction - unload it on flatter ground partially before getting on the steeper stuff. use your brain...........think it through for advantage for the weight you are dealing with and the tractor/hill etc.....if you forget, you will get a instant training session of butt pucker and if you live thru it wont do it again unless of course you have no fear and well thats on you i love narrow fronts and turning and get along great with them, still have 2 of them - super for in/around tight places and around yard/house for landscape work. just remember when its soft - backing up wagons/trailers is a joy with a narrow front to catch up to a bad move lots of options and good stuff that you should get along fine with have fun shopping!!!!
  22. Sweet success on the batwing - my neighbor did a dandy job fixing and reinforcing it and also straightened the wing height adj bolt so now i got it mowing more even - i had another break on the carrier bracket but made new bushings out of pipe and put a 1/2 inch bolt in place of 3/8 and added a jam nut for vibration/movement
  23. most of those big nuts/bolts come right off in my experience, just tore apart that batwing and they all came loose after spraying and using cheaters and 3/4 drive stuff i couldnt get an impact on them dropping trailer side into a ditch and back that sucker right on the deck - OR if you have two loaders just suspend it and back under it that is how we loaded my 2355 loader
  24. they have thorns and will poke right thru the best carharts but the heavy duck fabric/denier sure help limit the pain/damage - penetrate most gloves and will go into boots/shoes/tires and are only comparable to black locust growth around here with all the tough thorns. you better have foam filled tires or tracks because they do not rot away anytime soon and you will be having flats for the next few decades. @Sledgehammer truth, they will melt a stove, the posts will out live you and me, they will spark a chainsaw chain and spark from the oils in them and moisture that is why they burn so hot, i throw a small piece in with other stuff but NEVER load a stove full with it - those that dont know better will burn their house down. i have heard the stories of fence row boundaries and keeping in livestock in and they will get so thick u wont get thru it w/out injury. foul on the spider repellent didnt help with them or any other bugs that i notice, squirrels will open them up to get the seeds out and leave the rest lay, after frost they mush apart. they are like leaves here, plentiful!! they sure make a lawn mower go thud when mowing them not near as fun as shucking walnuts at the neighbors - walnuts fly better from a mower not that i have ever dont that tho ;-)
  25. load it sideways remove tongue
