    cold weather starting

    i did show a picture - a video in fact. there's a u-toob link above. it was -15*F when i took the video. during my ownership, it has never been in a barn, covered, plugged in, etc. it sits outdoors 24/7/365. it starts using its 6-volt battery and the choke; no ether, ever. This post was...

    cold weather starting

    i don't use any of those. i just start it in any weather when i need it. nothing emotional about that, just factual. whatever works for you though.

    cold weather starting

    from a few years ago, but it still starts reliably in 2022. temperature was -15*F. still 6-volt, with points. no heat, no fluid. tractor is always outside, uncovered, rain, shine, ice, wind, or snow. https://youtu.be/ANZP8XCbDA0

    Why Buy An N

    used my "useless" 703 on my 8n today, to do a project i've been contemplating for several years. sure saved my back a lot of effort in digging, and then spreading.

    Value of 8N with loader

    all good points. i'll only add (knowing the OP has already decided against purchase) that the step-through 730 loader on my 8n works well. i don't use it for much gravel work, but i bought it primarily to move snow from my driveway, and it does that very well (and has done for over 10 years)...

    Re: put the 2n with wagner FEL to use yesterday

    it all depends on what one has a tractor for. we use ours because they are loaders. we have virtually no need for a tractor without a loader. no fields to plow, nor mow, and without the loader, we can't load cordwood or pile snow. yes, the loader makes the tractor less nimble. but in our...

    put the 2n with wagner FEL to use yesterday

    used the 2n & wagner to load the "mobile" sap tank onto the truck so i can collect sap tomorrow... sure beats trying to manhandle the tank up onto the dump floor of the truck, which is almost 4' off the ground...

    Charging System Problem

    yeah, that never goes well, telling folks you are more qualified than they are yet here you are asking questions about why it doesn't work. either get some humility, or figure it out on your own without asking the rabble for assistance.

    3pt lLog Splitters

    i know, right? except that i can look out at my yard, and see 3 years worth of cordwood sitting there, waiting to be burned. one year's worth is about to move to the woodshed, and 2 years worth are split (ha ha) between already stacked and log-length. i like to be about 1-1/2 to 2 years ahead.

    EBay warning, popgun48

    this is the case, which is dopey. the reason for the dispute was the misleading or lying by the seller about the item. just because the dispute sees a resolution (refund/etc) doesn't mean that feedback shouldn't be possible; how better to warn potential future bidders/buyers about the shady...

    Dinner at subway...

    to be sure, if i lived in a relatively flat location, i would drive the tractor a bit further. but, central NH is not generally flat for any long distance. anything more than about 3 miles and i'm putting the tractor on the trailer and towing it to the destination. 12 miles in any direction...

    Dinner at subway...

    it would be at least a 10 mile ride to the nearest McD, BK, or subway around here...no chance i'm riding my tractor that long on roads.

    Battery

    i use a tender as well, and it really makes a difference. fwiw, i've got a 12v battery in my dodge dump truck that i purchased in 2007. it still works well and starts the truck. i put it on a tender for about 2.5 years since 2007 while the engine was being rebuilt, but other than that, it...
