    Mountain View Ranch

    Well I've been told that I did things that I normally don't do and I simply do not remember, so I suppose that this could be what happened.:oops: :forgetit: :yankchain: That 1 time was it for me, I don't like not knowing what I was doing.:badidea:

    Ted, I have to agree with you. The wife and I like regular ol black coffee and Starbucks has managed to make theirs so bitter that after you have tried theirs you wouldn't drink it again.:yuk: We figure that they have done that on purpose so that the next time, you buy one of their super high...

    Mountain View Ranch

    Well, that rusty industrial yellow is on our D6 and it has to sit outside with little to no care at this time.:o I hope to have a barn in the not tooooooo distant future that will be big enough to house all of our equipment.:thumb: The 7520 just doesn't have enough weight or power to be able to...

    Mountain View Ranch

    We bought 120 acres in Southern Calif back in Dec 1999. Sold 40 to my brother the next year. Had hoped to move to the property within 5 years. Well, that hasn't worked out yet, but hope to in the next year or two. It is very very difficult to accomplish all that needs to be done on bare property...

    Martens Harrows

    Did some harrowing this past weekend using my 15' eight bar 3ph Marten's spiked tooth harrow. Noticed during a few of my stops that I had lost a few spikes.:( Figured no big deal, I will just get in touch with these guys and buy some replacements. Well, Mr Martens will not sell me any,:eek: said...

    Operating a FEL effectively?

    First thing that comes to mind is to read the operators manual for the loader. Not sure about your tractor, but mine came with an operators manual just for the loader. Lots of tips just in it. Apply those tips and practice, practice, practice. There is no substitute for hours on the machine...

    HD bucket for ML106 loader

    Yes, I thought that we were talking about teeth, not chain hooks.:pat: I need some rest. About the chain hooks, the type that you show are stronger for sure in a weld on application, but also about 4 times more $. The ones that I have should hold about what the angle iron will hold, and that is...

    HD bucket for ML106 loader

    Why? I didn't think that they would be as strong, are they? That bucket isn't used for finish work you know.

    HD bucket for ML106 loader

    Here are a few pics of a beefed up bucket, just a little bigger than what your talking about.:mrgreen: Top lip has 2x2x3/8 angle full width, stitch welded. 5-3/8" chain hooks. Sides have 8"x 3/8" flat stock cut to match factory curve, perimeter weld. Teeth are replaceable with weld on...

    for those that don't know...

    I thought that you had said that you were off vacation and had gone back to work and was wondering if you checked in during your lunch- break while at work, that's all no big deal. Just curious I guess.

    Makin' a list an' checkin' it twice

    You think that because I have a bit of a belly and sort of a white beard that makes me look sort of like Santa. Well I guess that you may be right on this one.;)

    Tractor improvements

    No ROPS for this tractor, if you look close you can see the steering wheel up on top. When your in the seat your head is about 10-11 feet from the ground.:eek: Tractor seems very stable though, about 16,000lbs empty,(if I remember correctly) true 4x4, crab steering if needed, 120HP with only...
