    It was a brand new MF 2846. Couldn't get it to ever feed, always plugged. Computer would go on the fritz too, tore netwrap all the time. broke a belt, it was just an overall nightmare. We ended up spending 10-20k on custom baling because it never ran. The other one the dealer had out they...

    The majority of those tires are low profule which you will need to be aware of. Most of them are Axiobibs, Xeobibs and a couple are mutibibs. They are generally a 70% ratio whereas many standards are 80%. All Michelins are radials.

    No, they were actually moving good on the interstate. it was at midnight. This one does 33mph. 50kph calibration. The tires are rated to 40mph. Our Dt275B for some reason has the 60kph calibration. In order to have the 50kph calibration they have to have a suspended front axle. There is no...

    You've seen the barns or the piles? Im sure with poor ventilation it would be a ticking time bomb. We run a lot of our tractors in the winter for manure.

    Big Rigs. What do you prefer

    I know it sucks because I know its going to end up looking bad, and then Ill want to polish it, and that will take forever. May try some opticoat 2.0 on it.

    Its got its own unique smell. Not really that bad, just different. You need good ventilation in that barn though, but its always very warm in there anyways so thats not an issue. Forgot this picture from the Blizzard back in decemeber. Spent a lot of hours pulling 20+ cars and semis and such...

    I prefer alemite over lincoln myself as well. We went through a lot of lincolns before going to the Alemite. Same gun the past few years and just now the batteries and such are starting to wimp out some. Just looked at their 18v Lithium gun. Looks very nice. Also ordered a few of their hand...

    New Cat Skid Steers.

    The barn 242B3 has over 800hrs on it now and is holding up very well. Only issues it has had was a plugged fuel tank and line due to the workers leaving the fuel cap off. Cleaned everything out and put new cap on and the next day they did the same thing. I have a cable holding it to the...

    Michelin tires are more money across the board in general. However they generally do give you your money's worth. We use them on pretty much everything now except the pickups. Their light truck tires wear like iron and ride nice, but suck off road. Their excavator tires, ag tires and...

    Duramax Cab Removal DIY

    Its not worth your time to only lift it a couple inches. By then everything will already have to be unhooked as they do not build slack into anything and the most time consuming parts(unhooking wires and radiator stack) will have already been done. You DO NOT unhook every connection in engine...

    New Cat Skid Steers.

    Do not work for our application. Tracked skid steers are for excavation work. They are expensive, high maintenance and have poor resale. They are a "buy it only if you need it" type of machine. They do not work well for cleaning pens or many of our other tasks compared to wheeled ones either.

    New Cat Skid Steers.

    Traded the 262C back in august for a 2013 262C2. The 262C we had was used when we got it, had a little over 600hrs on it when we traded it. The reason we traded was due to the offer the dealer made us. We had some guys that wanted the pattern changer and the skid was going to need tires before...

    I know were not the only ones. Everybody said that they take some getting used to. They all said when the c series cat skids came out in 07 they were terrible, but they had fixed that now. Well see what the update does. Ergonomically they are nice. A little stiffer but being mounted in the...

    New Cat Skid Steers.

    So far they're all running well without issues. Weekly maintenance is very easy and they stay clean around the service areas. They clean up easily and quickly with the pressure washer which has helped make it easier to wash them every week or so before service. They went for a good month with...

    New Cat Skid Steers.

    They really feel like solid machines. One of the things they told us to do was to put the boom at cab level and shake the machine. Our new L220 had alot of movement. Our older more worn out ones would hit the cab. The CATs don't flinch. There's a lot of iron in these things. Sat in the 262c...
