    DEERE 333E UNEVEN SPROCKET WEAR ( ONE VS THE OTHER )

    There aren't 3200 hours on the original sprockets. Running sprockets on worn tracks will accelerate the wear. With "brand new tracks" at 3200 hours that is probably at least the third set of tracks in a well maintained situation, as many times as guys change one track and nothing else, who...

    Aluminum or Brass/Copper Radiator

    What is the anti freeze issue? There is no benefit in trying to keep the green stuff in there.

    Starting a crane service

    Don't bet much on finding a good reliable helper. What business do you know now? Unless you have pretty deep pockets and are mostly looking for a hobby, buying a crane or concrete pump or anything other piece of machinery that you know nothing about and have never operated isn't really a good...

    Dumb trailer idea

    It would be easy compared to a trailer axle. And it would certainly not be better.

    Dumb trailer idea

    My trailers are wider than the front of my F450. I don't see keeping the steering system in place as working very well, but that's just me, I guess. You are better off putting the energy into figuring out how to put radials on trailer house axles. Most of the trailer house axles are 8k axles...

    Dumb trailer idea

    What is the plan to fix these steer axles straight?

    Dumb trailer idea

    F450 steer axles are only rated for about 6000lb, especially in 2wd, some of the later 4wd frontends are 7000lb, but that's really not a particularly heavy axle, certainly not a dually axle. How would you deal with brakes?

    Husong, eh? That white boy sure as anything isn't Asian. Ahmed Jabad sure looks a lot more like a Jon Baker sort of guy than anybody in Pakistan.

    Land Clearing Florida advice

    Well, I am not Gary, but anyway . . . You don't need a fancy attachment to dig stumps out, I have dug hundreds out with the bucket that is pinned onto my machine. I don't watch YouTube to learn how to do much, because most of the guys on there don't actually know much about what they are...

    Land Clearing Florida advice

    A 200 class machine is really pushing the limits for what you want on a tag trailer. A PC138 will deal with stumps well. As it is, a PC138-11 dressed up with a blade, hydro thumb and roadliners will be over 38k. A 200 will deal with stumps better, but the bigger machine gets to be a pain to move...
