    When it happened with my dad's old Ford, we'd hook a 20k strap to the drawbar, hook the other end to a big tree, and bounce the tractor back & forth a few times with the clutch pressed in. Always popped it free. But, when it happened with my plow truck, I pulled the spark plugs and the bellhousing dust cover, put a 2x4 on the clutch, and pushed the plate back manually with a flathead screwdriver, working slowly around the entire outside of the clutch

    Yeah I’ve enjoyed it. Currently sitting at 33 hours. Very impressed with his machine over the hustlers and bobcats I’ve used in the past.

    I like watching Neil's videos. He's a funny guy, in his way. And pretty informative, even if it's got a 'Kubota propaganda' spin.

    I am subscribed to his channel, and do enjoy some of his updates and stories. I already own a kubota so there’s no need to convince me any further. I think that propaganda is trying to get the John queer guys to jump ship lol

    I have a mild obsession with hats. A few I got from Messicks over the years

    That’s a few of many hats, I ran out of space on the door rack so these are the “overflow shelf” of hats :laugh:

    I am the same way, some are beat to the point where I won't even wear them in public LOL, but I always feel bad sending one off to the pasture.

    Just yesterday I got my tracked skid steer stuck in the woods. I had to rescue it with the mini excavator. I was a little too stressed out to think about taking pictures but it was a hell of a time. Had to call a buddy over to help with the recovery.

    Yeah, he's pretty polite about most of the other brands, but he really doesn't like JD.
    I've got a NH so I'm safe, since they also sell those, lol.

    Bush hogging in briars is very effective I hear.

    You need one from Beaver Research. [and yes, they are a legit company manufacturing and dealing with specialty lubricants and chemicals]

    I need to change the oil in my gravely again since it’s at 30 hours. I changed it once at 10
    Hours with Kawasaki oil like the dealer recommended and now want to change it again. I would like to go to full synthetic 20w50. You guys think this is okay? The kawi oil is a blend but I’d like to run full synthetic if possible as that’s what I run in everything else. Was thinking valvoline or mobile one. Thoughts?

    Thanks guys, I had time to drive it around today, had the clutched locked in the “disengaged” position and drove for 4-5 minutes jabbing the brakes to no avail. I managed to get it up into H-2 and drove at 3/4 throttle and stood on the brakes, after 2 attempts at that the clutch was free.
