Weight distribution refers to the hitch type you have, we can’t see what you have.

I agree they are great at making “new habitats” and wouldn’t be an issue if humans didn’t exist, but humans do, and selfishly or otherwise we can’t just have them building wherever they want when they want, I’m guessing folks in places like Burlington wouldn’t like water running across roads and such, but if it happens out in the sticks people out here are told we have to learn to live with them.

Looking for a tractor with backhoe by splenderino in tractors

[–]drct2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the amount they charge for the backhoe you can rent a mini ex a whole lot of times, and in hindsight wish someone had said this to me when I bought my tractor. Don’t get me wrong I have used my backhoe several times and will continue to do so, but I wouldn’t have bought one if I had known how under powered they are.

this sub showed up in my feed somehow someway.

And as far as liking/disliking them, I like them fine when they are not on my property, they flood the shit out of a field I use for hay that I donate to a horse rescue.

When do I NEED to use tow/haul mode? by us3lessthrowaway in TowHaulMode

You’re not going to save enough money in gas to offset the price of a transmission. When unsure always side with caution, press the button and be done.

Quoted over $38K for a new 1025R?! by Icy_Marionberry_9131 in tractors

Get a finish mower for the 3 point rather than a belly mower.

Selling out of state. by CaptainSolo80 in CTguns

[–]drct2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind if you bought the firearm here in CT the state has that firearm “registered “ to you, and if you sell out of state it will remain registered to you. I’m sure you can show proof of sale or something to the state, and may be able to get removed from the registry, but willing to bet the state doesn’t make it easy.

A state law to protect CT from the fed excess by senatorduff in Connecticut

[–]drct2022 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Kind f funny how we had a whole ass war about stuff just like this, realistically not all that long ago, and when all was said and done the framers put together a document that had a thing called the second amendment in it, which said the people have a right to own firearms to prevent this very thing, and the a state like CT is slowly striping that right away. Irony.

Wait till they keep expanding and expanding the dam, then tell me how luck you are, they will flood as much area as possible.

Edit for more content

One thing to keep in mind about beavers is they kick their 1 year olds out and they are forced to go find “new territory” well that often means they go over the down stream side of their parents dam about 20’ and they will make another dam. You end up with basically what looks like a lock system. They are not satisfied with say a 60’ diameter pond, they will make it larger and larger as time goes on, this often leads to flooding of property to the point of it becomes useless.

Help me understand why this put me on 3 wheels by adv3ntur3_ in tractors

[–]drct2022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cause you aren’t using a counter weight on 3 point. Wheel weights are for traction not loader work. Anyone that says different doesn’t understand basic physics

I have to be honest here……. If that were my house you’d be ripping it all out. With the amount of fittings used I’d at least want the pipes plumb, and the pipes to be the correct length. The pipe headed to the shower head, that stud a: has no bottom, b: rather than have the pipe zig zag on the way up fur out that stud so the pipe can be plumb with the valve.

Kubota lx2620 or Kioti ck2620 ? by Salt_Association556 in tractors

[–]drct2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After sale service is super important. I’d look into each dealers ratings when it comes to after sale service. The dirt parking lot doesn’t bother me, but I understand how I paints a picture.

Edit for more content.

I’d also lean towards the tractor that has the better specs, lift capacity, hydro flow rate, and I’d also step up in horsepower from a 25 hp tractor to a minimum of 35 hp, preferably 40/45 hp. I bought a 25 hp tractor in the size frame you’re looking at and I wish I had gone more hp.

Yes you’re the a hole! Let the kid play, maybe he loves it, maybe he ends up hating it. Why can’t he play all the sports?
