how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

You probably have all this crap figured out or researched but I will babble away anyway.

A lot of those Deeres had plugs for the block & transmission/hydraulics. It took a special round plug on a 3’-4’ cord with a built in circuit breaker.

The outlets were under the left hand door.

Dads 7330 had both, his 6155 has both. Chases 6110 only has the block plug.

Block heaters & transmission/hydraulic heaters are probably a special order thing.

If I am thinking correctly those Deeres are equipped with an intake manifold heater, turn the key to the right one click & push in for 20-30 seconds.

Chases 7810’s & my brothers 7410 just have the block heater plug on the side of the block & the intake manifold heater with the key switch.

Yes the older ones were like that, the 5400 in the barn works that way. This new 5075E automatically senses the intake temp and runs an intake grid heater for a certain amount of time based on that. I have looked at the block heaters and can't remember the price on them off hand. You can buy the ones as well that go inline on a heater hose. This year I will get a buddy seat for it and then see how much more I want to spend. Second set of remotes and right hand door kit cost enough last year. But either I spend it on things like that or the government will take it away.

Your fat beagle will appreciate that buddy seat. Lol.

I usually put a blanket down in that right cab corner for my beagle but he will ride in the buddy seat.

How you folks down south getting along tonight ??

Good so far; been sleeting for the last couple of hours. I estimate a couple inches of snow prior to that. As long as we don't get ice and lose power I should be good...

She doesn't seem to like riding in the tractor for some reason. Only tried a couple of times with her on my lap and it was a no-go. Cars and trucks are no problem except she wants to be on my lap if someone is in the passenger seat. Maybe a couple inches of snow so far. Just loaded up the stove for the night, been keeping a nice bed of coals in it all day.


Had to run a stock tank heater out to my parents this afternoon on the way to pick up oldest from work. At that time they had twice on the ground what I had.

Okay so far, just hoping the power doesn't go out.....(pellet stove).
Pretty much the same weather situation as Thomas.

 

[Only the Tony]

Morning all, was 4°at 4AM and supposed to get to 12°. Guessers can't make up their minds on tonight's low but now are saying -8°. Just some flurries this morning yet but we did get a little more overnight. SLO-DOT just came by "plowing" as I came back in from checking on things in the shop. I wonder if they know that more than a 1/4 of the plow needs to be lowered into the snow to do any good. Maybe its their way to make the plow bottom edge last longer so they don't have to replace it often.

 

[Workshop]

Morning everybody.

 

[nbbt]

Morning folks. -12f currently and no snow or other moistures since the first of the year, we're overdue.

After this cup of joe is done, me's thinking the next one will get poluted with some irish cream, Oh yea.

 

[Hedgerow]

Seems we got some of that snow they were talking about.

I’d say there’s about 6” out there..

It’s a noticeable amount. But no where near a foot.

 

[Only the Tony]

Waiting for it to get a little lighter outside to check the cows. Phone can't handle the white and tries to focus all over the place. Have to get out the leaf blower to clean up around the shop again this morning. Can't tell how much on the ground because of the drifting.

 

[Hedgerow]

Yup..

Time to get the leaf blower..

I might even move some snow around with the bobcat.

 

[Hinerman]

Snowing pretty hard right now.

Looks like according to radar between you and OKC is some of the heaviest in the area. But it also looks to be moving out of the area as well.

 

[Cat 525]

We got a good 8" of the stuff here and blowing some now!

 

[Sawdust Man]

We've got that much.

 

[Hedgerow]

Looks like we’re in for a whole week of cold.

The wind sucks out there.

 

[moparnut88]

Cowboy coffee today.

how are you going about making it? just let it simmer for a while then splash a little cold water to settle the grounds?

No wind here currently, but we don't usually get a whole lot down here in the hills.

 

[I saw a lot]

Got up to +5 yesterday with .5" snow Friday night. -2 this morning and currently sitting at +1 at 0915. Can't say I'm sorry that we missed the snow so hope everyone stays safe out there.
