I’m not familiar with the “super steer” option?Keepaeyeonit wrote: ↑Sat. Nov. 18, 2017 10:20 amHi all,
good grub this morning Freddy , sorry to hear the news Freddy, I'm not liking this getting older crap as most of the news I hear is never good!!
Nice tractor Hotblast, did you get the super steer option?, my friend has the older version of yours but with the super steer front axle which is nice just takes some getting use to especially when changing loader attachments.
I'm wishing you the best of luck HB with this one all the OT makes for a nice pay check but the time off is nice also!!
Not doing much today but installing some molding in the living room and getting the gutters clean before the monsoon gets here, other then that not a real exiting day . Have a good upcoming week and be safe!

This tells a bit about it, it is one of the things that has pros and cons. When you are changing front attachments and need to move the loader frame a little bit you need to turn the wheel in the opposite direction you want the frame to move, you do get use to it but it takes a bit.

I usually see those generators mounted on a small trailer. Would be nice if you had a generator plug in the boiler building, then you could keep everything away from the house.hotblast1357 wrote: ↑Sat. Nov. 18, 2017 7:50 amThe snowblower and FEL will deff be better off in the long run than my
Pick up with a plow, and we already have many implements.
My next investment is going to be a PTO generator, northertool has the best deal so far, 13,000 watt for 1,600 including shipping.
I have to get a car port for the winter to put the tractor in also.
Give that tractor a nice drink of fresh fuel with some winter treatment. Those little diesels barely return any fuel to the tank, so the fuel never gets warm. If you ever go into the winter with summer diesel in it you will regret it.

That’s the plan which is why I put a 100 amp service in the boiler building.
Trust me I am ready for winter, and actually this common rail, and has a cooler for the fuel return.

That was good planning on your part.
I am surprised that thing has a common rail setup. It has a heat exchanger on the fuel return? That is awesome. The old grain trucks my dad used to have had those also - kept the fuel nice and warm even when it was below zero.

Rob the fuel cooler is not to warm up the fuel, it is a cooler to cool the fuel return.

I don't know! I burn about 5 ton a year, but with it auger fed, I really have little idea of how much it burns per day during the warm weather. During cold weather I empty the pan every day..... I can go two days during the cold, but it get's too heavy! I hear rumors that this Lehigh coal might make less ash, or fluffier lighter ash. Time will tell.hotblast wrote: Freddy 4-5 days?

and you can’t even measure what the auger moves and run a time because it’s hollow and a lot of falls back right?
It must have a really small ash pan compared to the eshland and ahs? I’m going every 7 days. I am running Lehigh, and it does produce a lot less ash!

Yes and the ash is very light also. I'm very pleased with Lehigh! I hope they have enough coal to last the rest of my lifetime!
I have tractor envy! That beast is beautiful!

Yaaa, It's tough to judge or guess how much the auger moves.hotblast wrote: and you can’t even measure what the auger moves and run a time because it’s hollow and a lot of falls back right?

Not really a small pan.....but the Superior ash is really heavy. If I let the pan actually get full it would take two men and a Boy Scout to carry it.
That tractor is a beauty!
