So decided to purchase another SxS that is a little faster than my RTX-X1100C since all my friends have 1000 turbo's. I was on the fence about CF Moto as they are a Chinese company but they do build engines for both KTM and Yamaha and have been kicking butt in Moto GP and the Dakar races. So I...

Meet Allis Chompers (named after my Allis Chalmers tractor) Our new 4 week, 3 day old Pitbull/Mastiff. Wanted a playmate for our one year old Boxer/Mastiff Millie. They get along great. Millie has awesome motherly instincts. She's watching over her as if she is her mother. Only one that isn't...

Well after initially finding a mouse nest on top of my cabin air filter in my RTV-X1100 C I thought I found the solution. I got my wife with her small hands to duct tape screen over the giant open air intake hole under the hood by the firewall. Then planted bars of Irish Springs soap all over...

How this for ironic? The other day I got a spam email to join a class action lawsuit against VW over cracking plastic water pumps. I deleted it right away because I haven't had a failure yet on this Tiguan and these suits are usually BS anyway. Well, the very next day guess what just failed? LOL

Went an picked up another quick hitch today. This time for my 67 Ford 3000 diesel. I lucked out. I got one back in 2014 for my Kubota B2620. Went with the B.E. (Braber Equipment) because it looked identical to the Land Pride (which all my implements are except for the chipper/shredder) but it...

Millie and I had a nice day in the yard today. I wanted to run the Allis since it's been laid up so long. My old phone camera doesn't do the fall colors justice even though I missed their peak last week while I was stuck at work.

Finally! After being parked for 2 years I finally got time to mount my new rear power adjust rears to the Allis. The originals were so rotten from calcium, the last time I used it one literally crumbled apart. So got a new set of Alliance Farm Pro's (made by Yokohama who also recently bought...

Attended another tractor parade last Monday. Had a blast! About a two hour ride on the tractor, then a nice BBQ lunch at the pavilion. And even though I have lived around here all my life, I had no idea this museum was here! Has one of the old homestead log homes, a replica of the old...

Went to the Canada Day tractor parade yesterday. Had severe thunder storms the day before, but yesterday turned out perfect! The Ford ran and drove beautifully. Such a nice comfortable tractor to go for a cruise on. Surprisingly it got a LOT of attention. This show has a mix of everything. Some...

Got another recall for my RTV-X1100C. But this may just be Canada only? I HATE more stickers on my stuff, but Kubota is paying me $50.00 to put these reflectors on, LOL Ya I know, they aren't straight or centered, LOL

Here's a twist from my Kubota/Allis Chalmers interests. Made the 15 hour round trip yesterday and got my new to me Ford 3000 home! Runs awesome. No smoke or noises. Has couple marks but it was a working tractor. The seller showed me videos of it pulling 8 or 10 foot discs on his farm field...

Well, it went from minus 40 the other day to plus 6*C today. Son in law has been plowing the yard with the RTV while I was gone so today I cut some of the base off the driveway. Still impressed with what a little powerhouse that little B is. And for all the complaints I here about R4's being no...

This is pretty cool if you're a Kubota fan...

Well to start......I park my RTV in an open machinery shed since we are always using it. After I bought it I once found mouse poop in the storage tray under the seats. So I cleaned out and started leaving a bar of Irish Springs soap in there. No more problems. Plus it always smells good in cab...

There's probably threads or videos about this, but in case anyone is interested I just finally got around to changing the control pattern on my Kubota BH65. I run all Cat equipment at the mine, but when I come home I had to run the ISO (Deere) pattern on my backhoe. While I can run both, SAE...

Went to the Canada Day Tractor Trot on St. Joseph Island, Ontario yesterday. There are some restored show pieces but unlike most tractor shows, 90% of them just came off the farm field, still covered in mud and manure, they do the parade then go back to work. I fell in love with this beast!!!

Go for a trail ride and return home with a free load of maple and birch. They are logging 14 miles from my place so when I come home I throw a load of butt ends on. Even makes it ride even nicer. I thought I was going to lose speed on the paved road section coming home but still did 25 MPH...

So last fall got the recall notice but told dealer I was holding off until spring So they called and were going to come to my house tomorrow, but when he told me what the "fix" is, I said don't bother. Apparently the problem is, some people have had the mat curl up and get caught in the fuel...

Just came across this, LOL

Another freighter has been sitting in the bay out front of my place. They take refuge in here when there are storms on Lake Superior because I am pretty close to where the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. Winds have been wild here last two days.
