    Hauling a couple of rocks

    Jim there is a pretty good reason that you couldn't pick them up even with a very strong helper.:wink: Solid lime stone = 163 lbs per cubic foot Granite solid = 168 " " " " Quartz = 165 " " " " Your guesstimate on size = 12 cubic feet per rock 12 x avg 165 = 1980 pounds x 3 rocks 5940...

    Tiller for BX2350

    There is a big difference between lift capacity 24" behind pin and the weight of the implement beyond that point, what you are trying to measure is how much X weight affects the front (function of weight x motum x distance=lift affect on the front end, if you put 670 lbs beyond 24" point your...

    Visualizing Obama's budget cuts.

    It doesn’t get any clearer than this. A college student "explains our Federal Budget", and the portion that must be borrowed, in simple terms for everyone, plus his visual aid example easily demonstrates the $100 million cut that the President promised as savings. Click on this link and be...

    Tiller for BX2350

    IMO, NO it's not,just extra weight and more wear and tear on your pto, mine doesn't have a problem and if it did you (at least I can always set the rears inboard) Hope that helps you decide, the weight is more important anyway what does the 48" weigh VS the 55" ?

    Tiller for BX2350

    Something for you guys to keep in mind with small tractors is the weight of the tiller for instance my 50" landpride weighs 383 lb's and my Kubota B 7510 handles it well with or without the FEL on however I first tried a 4' Howes (less expensive than landpride) and it weighed a hundred lb's more...

    Add turbo to RTV1100 or go with new Ranger?

    Been talking about this since '04 when I bought mine now it really is the same difference between flying a recip vs a turbine, several have already told you how to maximize the power curve in this machine so I won't repeat it except to say if you can't master that simple technique sell it, give...

    The Turbointabulator

    That's great and not a tele-prompter in sight, reminds me of the new HCP only simpler to understand and the cost is similar!!:pat:

    My New Antique Massey

    Soon our older stuff will be a century old, I sometimes wonder (and strongly doubt) if there will be a culture left to appreciate the tools and the people who crafted real machines that have endured the test of time or will it all to be heaped into the dustbin of history as rapidly as our...
