Stumbled across your video. Having a hard time trying to justify/decide buying a John Deere 5120M vs a Case Farmall 120C. It's a $40K difference. I am partial to John Deere and own a 2020 4066R open cab. Looking foward to having a cab. The loader I am opting for in regards to the JD is a 540R and has 6" higher reach than the Case. The JD has a higher GPM hydraulic system. Case comes with 540/1000 pto. Am i not comparing apples to apples? What are your thoughts?

Obviously, it’s like a car. You can customize how you want. I’d say upper limit with GPS would be around 125. Base model around 80

@@RockyAcresFarmstead you marry a dealership, date the brand and in many cases Deere handles business. I don’t have that. My machine was bought used, not from the dealer which may have something to do with it, dunno but it shouldn’t matter. Horrible to deal with here on warranty issues and god forbid your machines out of warranty. Work on it yourself? lol. More machines and jobs going to Mexico, their woke agenda, bill gates, hell even the cost of anything Deere has made it an easy choice. I’m just one guy. It don’t matter, I don’t spend millions on equipment, I WONT be missed and it won’t impact them in any way, but I will and do tell people what I experienced dealing with John Deere. It may just be the dealer, I don’t care at this point. Tired of dealing with it.

I bought the same exact tedder a few years back and biggest complaint was that they were too damn cheap to put a "Parking Jack" on it.Just a POS parking stand instead. I did put a real jack on it and made it so much easier to hook/unhook. Also the grease fittings on the double U-joints where the wings fold, the one closest to the center were a "Bear" to get to.

Hi Gary, a couple of observations: 1) I noticed that you are not using the turbulator baffles that insert into the gaps in the heat exchanger. Curious why you have opted not to use them . 2) I also saw that you did not attempt to remove the combustion air tubes on the sides of the firebox. Are you able to make sure they are clean from the air box looking in? I had to hire service guy to get them out last year, not an easy thing to do. I have a Classic Edge Titanium 360.

A little bit is okay, not a lot. I would say that if you believe it’s too much, you should buy new bolts for the MOCO and replace those as well. They’re relatively cheap.

Hey there, just asking feedback from you who is a lot more knowledgable than me. lol. I live on a canal and the boats go from left to right and right to left at around 25 to 35 miles an hour. Would this camera be able to capture the registration numbers on the side of the boat. The numbers are about 3 to 4 inches high and usually 6 letters. Distance out from my hut is about 15 to 30 yards. Its only daylight that I need. Thanks for your help in this problem.

When installing an outdoor boiler pour at least a 10x 12’ pad bigger if possible install the boiler to one side and to the back of the pad. Then Ann a roof and sides if you want. The front can be open. Pot you chimney through the roof, this enclosure lets you store 3-4 cords of wood under cover, readily accessible and makes it easy to load in a heavy snow or rain
