Coyote den?

How you liking the LS??

Sink hole. This is a new one that opened up in the last month. There is a spring a hundred yards or so from the first sink hole. This make three holes in a row.


So far I am happy with the LS. Have 143 hours on it now. Had it since October. Hell of a capable tractor for it's size. Pulls a 6 foot cutter very well. Will lift anything front or rear. Just wish it had a higher loader lift height. When I use the grapple I can't really dump on a pile over 5ft. Lifts right at 8 ft at the pins. Most all other brands in the same class are close to 9 at the pins.

Speakin of Harr Parr, @Steve , Anyone know where to find that dark green paint?

 

[ajschainsaws]

OMG, don't call it a tiller! Its a European two wheel tractor!


It's a BCS 720 I bought at an auction for 10 bucks and rebuilt and repower it. Still came out thousands ahead. These are about the nicest tillers out there hands down. @Coltont is another BCS lover.

It's actually closer to LS blue!

Ok fellas, I need advice.

Clutch *s-word in the Zetor last night.

Organic or cerametalic drive disc?

Concerned about the cerametalic disc being too agressive on the flywheel over time. Am I just being a little girl about it?

How long did the first one last?

 

[Steve]

How long did the first one last?

1100 hours but it's 32 years old. Throw out bearing dried up and broke was the failure. Ate the release fingers up but the organic disc looks good. No loader on the tractor, just a hay machine. I think I am going to go back organic due to the cerametalic disc is hard on the flywheel. Would you agree Jake?

 

[Hedgerow]

Holy *s-word...

1100 hours on a clutch??

That’s horrible..

I’d go back with the organic and hope the replacement throwout bearing is better than the original...

In the meantime, don’t leave the clutch engaged..

Take her out of gear and let it out....

It's rained just about everyday here for almost 3 wks. Wish I could send the clouds in your direction.
On another note, my roof job is done. Now I have to wait for the HO to get home from vacation so I can collect. Do home soon though. Today I'm off to my tree job. Between the 2 It's gonna be one hellofa payday.

Right! That's piss poor! I have only personally owned the tractor for coming on 5 years. I know how to treat a clutch but previous owners, well?

Organic I go!

 

[Sagebrush33]

Organic I go!

Pesticide clutches last longer

 

[Steve]

I'll ask if it's an option when I call in the order soon.

Yes sir. That’s what I would do.

 

[Steve]

Ordered both throw out bearing s, pilot bearings, pressure plate and organic disc. 1197.60 shipped. I'd say not bad.

Sprinkle it with Roundup. That'll fix it.

I would think brake cleaner would be plenty.
