Have you seen this video clip Mith? http://www.steinerturf.com/videos/430-max-tractor-hi.html

I washed my bota the time I bought it. I re sprayed some of the rusty bits just to make her presentable. I even waxed it! Talk about proud newbie tractor owner...!!! I have not washed or waxed it since. I do give the hood and fenders a rub of an old cloth from time to time just to get the dust...

Welcome aboard woolford. I dont have a loader on my 7100 but I have read about the front end problems experienced with 7100's fitted with front loaders. If there isnt enough of a counter weight hanging off the back of the tractor, there can be a whole host of problems with the steering box...

And you didnt take photographs for us????? tut tut... :yum:

Welcome! :tiphat: Seven tierods snapping in 4 years?? You dont happen to be bumping into trees all the time by any chance?? :wink: just kiddin wit ya.. Have you spoken to your local dealer about this? That is a significant fail rate for one vehicle. Do you use it in rough terrain? turn a lot...

Haha. After I answered sushi's post yesterday I was starving too. On the way home from work I just had to stop off and get a bag of chips (with loads of salt 'n vinegar of course!!) yum. I just thought of another thing for vinegar. My grandmother used white vinegar and old newspapers to clean...

IT IS !!!

I prefer malt vinegar on my fish'n chips (or frenchfries i spose ye'd call them...) lol

Yeah, same here. I find myself loggin in to NTT as often as possible to check on Miths progress. Always a delight to see an update. Same goes for a few guys working with me (and some further afield), they're also following this thread. It's becoming a real talking point in my circle of...

I was wondering about that steering column myself, how easy is it to mount the machine with it in that position? Looking really good Mith. I am looking forward to the youtube clip of you riding that monster through your local mud pit...!!!

Hi Paul, No "remote kill" apart from the switch on the handle of the trimmer. (but I have to get off the tractor to shut it down). I do have full control of the throttle, using the nylon cord that runs through the pulley and back to the tractor seat. This allows me to stop the blades of the...

This is what I use... I have some 300ft of hawthorn hedge I like to keep straight. It works nice. It cuts the top of the hedge perfectly straight, no way I could do this by hand, trust me it was a LOT more wobbly on top when I used to do it by hand!! Used to take all weekend to cut...

An old farmer near where my folks lived years ago, he used something similar to this. He'd pull it with his horse. (This was back in the mid '80s.) The potatoes would run up the conveyor and into spud sacks he'd have on the back of the machine. Apart from picking the odd stone or two, as...

Yup, I see it now, wow, really nice. More like a mini blimp hangar than a shed....!! you yanks.... sooooo modest!!! lol I'm feeling shed envy now....

red X's for me...

Yeah, I'm seriously thinking of buying some sheep to maintain my lawn!!

hey Mith, We're feeling the same pain here although not quite as high as the UK yet....... Average here now is €1.40 a litre for unleaded, €1.50 for diesel. (4 litres per US gal. = (€5.60euro) $8.68usd per US gal. Costs me well over €80euro ($125usd) to fill my car every week.

Welcome....!!

I spent my Sunday making a barrel train for our local 'family fun day', thats coming up next weekend. Had a lot of fun making it. Will post some pics when I can. Saturday was spent scrounging for free stuff, poly drums, box iron, wheels etc... Gonna pull the train with my 'lil bota...

I want one....
