    Chain Grade and WLL disagreement

    Haul a load of drill pipe. Wrap the pipe tighten binders drive tighten again drive tighten again drive tighten again repeat several times . The damn stuff just keeps getting loose. Seems like it would still settle after a million miles. I put straps over it and they loosen too. I hate hauling it.

    Autoshift, or not?

    advance it to any gear you want to start off with. off road and steep hills and downgrades use the manual button then advance the gears with the arrow buttons. It should skip gearsin auto if they are not needed I have a 1st generation 18 spd auto shift. I like it. Not worn at the end of the day

    18 spd auto shift

    An update, Getting a remain from International. Parts and labor one year guarantee. $4500. Priced trans from a junk yard at $3900. No sure if it was correct. Couple of gears ate off and bearings. Looks like the pto was leaking and pump hanging with no bolts to trans. Big trucks, big money

    Side Dumps

    I've been kicking around the idea of buying a used side dump trailer. Looking at different makes. My area doesn't have many so I think I may be able to work it. Figuring on a triaxle with a lift rear. Air ride. My questions vary from which is a better manufacturer and the good and bad points...

    Opinions of GEHL CTL's

    Can't say about those particular model but I have a CTL 85 with a kobota engine. The machine has been bullet proof. I have had very little problem since 2009. I have to say that I do a lot that maybe you shouldn't do with it. My dealer is 200 miles away and anything I need they drop ship it to...

    Aftermarket CTL tracks

    Have been wading around in the mud and manure and the MWE tracks seem to work well. They shed the crap off and don't load up. Happy so far

    Aftermarket CTL tracks

    Got my tracks on Friday. They look real good. I spent about 2 hrs on one side and 15 mins on the other replacing the tracks. Faster with a knuckle boom crane putting them on than a little kobota tractor that didn't have enough muscle. The MWE tracks work very well. Been loading wet manure in...
