QUESTION:
where can i get parts cheap for ferris zero turn mowers?
i need an electric lift for a 2001 ferris zero turn mower. new is pretty pricey. anyone know where to get used parts in ny state?

• ANSWER:
  I would suggest calling mower repair shops that service Ferris mowers, and although they are a repair shop not a parts store, you can probably work a deal with them. They take used units and cannibalize them so you may be able to find used parts by this method. Good luck

QUESTION:
how long does the rear wheels on zero turn mowers last?
so, looking at getting a zero turn mower, a toro in particular. just wondering what the average life span of the rear wheels are? will it last upwards of 5 years like traditional mowers? thanks so much!
links would be awesome as well, thanks again!!

• ANSWER:
  I think that the tire life expectancy of the traditional riding mower should be very similar to that of a zero turn radius mower. I have used a Exmark ZTR for over 10 years now and still have the original tires on it. You will learn different techniques on how to turn it around without locking the tire up. I have found that by letting the inside tire roll when turning, it helps to prevent tearing up the grass. Assuming that the mower is new or there close you should have no trouble making them last that long.

QUESTION:
witch is the better of the zero turn mowers?
I need to know the best commercial mowing machine on the market, with zero turn radius.

• ANSWER:
  The number one seller has been the Exmark Lazer Z. Best mowing performance wet or dry and fast cutting speeds. They have led the market in deck design.
  http://www.exmark.com/ride.htm

  The fastest cutting (up to 15 MPH) and best quality machine (lifetime warranty on frame, forks & front caster bearings) is probably the Dixie Chopper. Stainless steel construction and a top of the line model with 33HP engine. http://www.dixiechopper.com/

  Kubota builds a fantastic diesel engine. I like their zeros turns, but in the commercial world you just don't see a lot of people running Kubota. I heard early on that this unit had spindle problems. I don't know if that's true any more. Also, in a commercial application you need fast access to parts. Stick to the main suppliers of zero turns used in commercial operations and you shouldn't have a problem getting parts. There are few Kubota dealers in my area and parts are always a problem for my Kubota tractor. I don't need many parts for that tractor, but even Kubota parts wear-out.

QUESTION:
Does anyone have any reviews on the 54" White brand Zero turn mowers?
I am looking at buying a 54" Zero Turn mower. The brand Is WHITE. Any one own one???

• ANSWER:
  White, Cub, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, and Yard Machines are all made by MTD. They are hard to get parts for, or find someone who will service them. If you are looking at John Deere, do yourself a favor and skip the box stores and just go to the dealer they will send you too. Simplicity, Snapper, and Toro are good brands, and have good dealer support.

QUESTION:
ZERO turn mowers,what would you say was the most dependable on the market right now?
what do you think about buying a used one with out the warranty.

• ANSWER:
  I have had great service from my toro,3 years trouble free.I have 3 toro walkers also with same results.I do smaller commercial properties and residential and they work for me.

  As for the warranty? depends.If it's used around the house no big deal but your paying for piece of mind.I guess I would look at price and parts availability in your area.That's my take.

  Good Luck

QUESTION:
Better buy on zero-turn mowers: John Deere for 99 or comparable Toro for 99?

Toro has had zero-turns for a while.
John Deere is in its first year of zero-turns.
Should I pay a little more for John Deere or is Toro a better/equal mower?
Is John Deere worth the extra money?

• ANSWER:
  Tell you what. Toro has been in lawn the bus. longer that JD. I don't know much about zero turns but I will tell you that Toro makes the absolute best walk behind snow thrower on the market. JDs as a brand aren't bad but usually overpriced. Looked in to a Simplicity?

QUESTION:
Are zero turn mowers dependable?
With typical residential mowing (less than 2 acres, about once a week) how many years can I expect out of a zero turn consumer mower? I'm told they have fewer parts than the lawn tractors and are generally better built so 20 years with proper maintenance is not out of the question. I'm a bit skeptical - any help. I considering the Husqvarna or Toro given there are local area dealers.

• ANSWER:
  with proper maintenance they should last 15 to 20 yrs

QUESTION:
does anyone have any experience with Ferris zero-turn mowers ? Good or bad?

• ANSWER:
  I would call your local City-Park Dept. and ask to talk to the supervisor of that dept.

He could give you the pro and cons of different mowers and how well they stood up and the ease of using one.

QUESTION:
What brand of a zero turn mower doe's the best job at cutting grass?
I now have a zero turn mower but if I go full speed it doe's not cut the grass perfect, there are some blades of grass that don't get cut.

• ANSWER:
  I have a Hustler Z turn mower. They were the inventor of the zero turn lawn mower and I love it. Mine is a Fastrak model, which is the consumer model made for people cutting once or twice a week with lawns around 1 to 5 acres. The cost is fairly hefty (,300) but not much more than the much less quality Zturn mowers you will see a Lowe's or Home Depot. It gets much more expensive if you are to look into the professional lawn mowers. (-8k) Since mine mows with a 54 inch cut at 8 mph it works great.

  If your yard is flat you can go with a larger cut, but if you have a hilly landscape you will want a smaller deck.
  Something else to consider is what brand of Motor. You will usually find a choice of motor in a higher end mower. I have looked around and if you check out many of the professional landscapers around here you will find what ever brand lawn mower - the engines are usually made by Kawasaki. I guess that they have the most torque.

  To keep the cost down I actually went in partners with a neighbor friend. I wouldn't recommend that to just anyone, but we wrote up a contract and it works for us.

  Best of luck in your research.

QUESTION:
Has anyone in here ever switched from a regular riding mower to a zero turn riding mower?
If so,do you like the zero turn better than the regular rider?Do you feel if you could do it over again youd go back and buy something different?

Please explain because im trying to decide between a regular riding mower and a zero turn mower.I have never owned a zero turn but was curious about how people feel about them.Thanks.

• ANSWER:
  Here on the farm, the J.D. rider sits in the shed since buying a Gravely zero turn. (I don't do handles well, when he's gone I use the J.D.). He finally traded the Gravely last year...for another Gravely. Granted his deck is larger, he can mow 3X as fast as I can on the J.D. He can mow in the rain or after dark, I would plug up with wet grass. Even mowing in the rain, it still spreads the clippings out nicely. Had to put a piece of carpet on the deck, for the farm dog to ride too. We mow a good 5 acres, he gets it done in one day. Takes me 2 1/2 with the J.D.

QUESTION:
who makes a good residential grade front mount zero turn mower?
i really dont need a commercial grade mower, but most of the residential grade mowers are all mid-mount. i would also be mowing arround fences so the front mount deck is important.

Thanks

• ANSWER:
  consumer machines r built to last 5-7yrs and there r no good z-turns n the consumer side, commercial machines r built heavier and have better grade engines, DO NOT BUY USED EQUIPMENT FROM LANDSCAPERS OR RENTAL STORES. Grasshoppers r nice and dependeble and scags r good but a little costley, exmarks r good, front mounts r easier to work with n many ways butt they r very exspensive like the walker 10 grand w/out deck, mid mounts do fine !

I need help buying a zero turn mower?
I am looking to buy a zero turn mower for myself to use on cemetery property. I need something big enough, value priced, as well as dependable. I am looking at the New Holland series, is this a good brand? good price? or is there a better brand out there, that is value price without sacrificing quality? If you can help me I would greatly appreciate it!

THANKS!

• ANSWER:
  I have used Toros and Scags and they're both quality. If price is a big concern look for a used one. Mowers and like equipment aren't measured by the distance that they've traveled but rather by the number of hours in operation, so if you want to buy used look for one between 500 and 1000 hours. I can't speak about New Holland; I didn't know that they make mowers. But Scag and Toro definitely make quality mowers.

• ANSWER:
  This is a classic case of flywheel shear-pin (key-way) breakage. What is a shear-pin?
  Briggs & Stratton engines have a shear-pin that is a small ½ inch by 1/8 inch aluminum pin
  that protects the crankshaft from damage. The pin is located in a slot between the flywheel
  and the crankshaft. This shear-pin might be bent or broken and will need to be replaced.

  You need to remove the covering (shroud) and the fuel tank. Next off comes the pull-cord
  assembly. This reveals the flywheel, held on by a large 15/16th nut. To remove this nut
  you need to keep the flywheel from turning. To do this you will need to secure the flywheel.
  Strap a good leather belt round the flywheel, and, allowing the buckle to rest against small
  block of wood against the ignition coil assembly (it works for me). Using a long breaker-bar;
  with either a ½ or ¾ inch square set to fit the 15/16th socket to the flywheel nut.
  Have someone help you to hold the mower. Turn the nut and remove the nut. Do not loose the
  nut!

  Next, you have to remove the flywheel itself. Here is the trick. You need to hire, beg, borrow, or, dare I say it, steal a large bearing a puller. Fit the three-legged puller over the flywheel. The flywheel is not going to come off easily without some assistance.
  Two things you can do here.

  ) Now, with pressure on the flywheel (via the three legged puller), sharply tap the top of the puller.

  Rusted flywheel to crankshaft...remedy.
  2) Or, using a small blowlamp (not recommended and only for extreme cases), heat the flywheel to expand the metal, and this helps the puller to remove the flywheel from the crankshaft. Either way works well. Remove the flywheel and you either will see the shear-pin attached to the crankshaft’s groove or stuck to the
  flywheel.

  I am going to assume you have purchased a new (I always have two handy) shear-pin from your
  local small engine repair store. The will cost in the region of .50 and look rather expensive for what they are.

  To clear any rust from the flywheel, polish the flywheel inner hole. Using some very fine
  (preferably used) emery cloth, clean the crankshaft. Using a gas soaked rag, wipe away all
  traces of emery dust from both the crankshaft and the flywheel. Rub a little grease on the
  crankshaft and then refit the flywheel, remembering to line up the crankshaft slot with the
  flywheel slot. Place the new shear-pin into the slot and, using a small punch, or if you
  don’t have one, a long 4" nail comes in handy, tap the shear-pin down until it seats fully
  home.

  Replace the nut and washer and tighten to 65 foot lbs. Refit all other removed items, and
  start he mower.
  Happy mowing

QUESTION:
How can i take the blades of my 52' Toro zero turn mower?
I tried to have my buddy hold up the mower while i got a socket wrench to it, but they would not budge, and they need to be replaced bad for upcoming jobs i have. any suggestions? my buddy thinks there is a second bolt on top that we should hold.

• ANSWER:
  Try wedging a board between the blade and the mower deck to hold the blade. Some are on pretty tight, as an example troy bilt blades are torqued to 90 ft/lbs. You could try an impact wrench. Make sure that you are turning it the correct direction. Lefty loosy, righty tighty. Hold the blade not the nut on top of the mandrel pulley.

  You could add soil and use a tamper to even out the ground while it's wet. You can also find a smaller lawn roller and push it across the yard. Or you could ask around and find someone who's willing to borrow you their tractor. If you lived by me you ccould borrow mine!

QUESTION:
How do I change the drive belt on my craftsman yard tractor model # 917.270810?

• ANSWER:
  Try reading the owner's manual. It has a good explanation. Lacking that, there's a diagram of both the drive and mower belt routing on the mower deck. If all else fails, just follow the routing of the old belt. It helps if you drop the mower deck first, and remove the tow plate covering the rear pulley (4 bolts).

  Hope you like the Craftsman. I swore I'd never get another one. Cursed it for years.

QUESTION:
Lawn Tractors vs Commercial Walk Behind Mowers?
Why do most landscapers use commercial walk behind mowers when the cost of a brand new garden or yard tractor is so much less? I was looking to start up a buisness and I found that a 8 - 10 year old walk nehind commercial walk behind mower (36-48 inches) is the same price as a brand new tractor? Anybody with lawn mowing buisness experiance an answer would be appreciated. Thanks!

• ANSWER:
  Commercial lawn mowers are built for just that. Mowing, and a lot of it. They are designed to mow the largest area , for as little time as necessary and transported to the next job. They are also to be used everyday.

  Garden tractors are designed to be used once a week, and designed for other uses as well. Attempting to use a garden tractor for commercial use will work, for a while but the tractor will need replaced after the first season or two. Most commercial will mow more grass in a month than most homeowners will mow in three years.

I was looking for a good lawn tractor to mow my 1 acre yard. I have been looking at John Deere LA 175 and the husqvarna LGT2654. I was also kind of looking at the cub cadet tractors but wasn't sure what would be good. The only requirements was that I wanted the briggs and stratton v-twin engine and a 48 to 54 inch cut. So I just need a few opinions on some tractors.

• ANSWER:
  My cousin has a deere that needs yearly repairs. I have a cub cadet 50" deck, oil change has been the only maintenance so far.

QUESTION:
What are ottawa yard trucks used for?
At my job, the Yardmen use "yard trucks" instead of tractors in the yard. Is there a reason why they use "yard trucks" instead of tractors?

• ANSWER:
  Yard trucks are designed for easy hookup, and unhooking. Some even have hydraulic lifts on the fifth wheel so that the front trailer legs do not have to be cranked up and down. The trailer front is lifted to be moved.

  Many yard truck also have a door in the back of the cab, so that the air lines can be easily attached.

I have a yard machine lawn tractor with a 12.5 hp briggs engine,the gas has drained from the tank to the crankcase 2 times now. I tried some carb cleaner without any luck. Any suggestions?

• ANSWER:
  Either the float is sticking (hanging up pin just take it in and out a few times and move float up and down) or the inlet needle valve needs to be replaced (shuts the fuel on and off when not needed) or the float has sprung a hole and is full of gas and needs to be replaced (will feel heavy)

QUESTION:
problems with mtd yard tractor loosing power?
My 13 hp yard machines tractor is having a little trouble. It rides just fine when the blade is not engaged, but when engaged the tractor slows, almost going to a complete stop, no matter what gear it is in. When in 6th gear without the blade engaged, the drive belt seems a little loose (hasn't been replaced in awhile). The engine also looses much of its power. I believe the carbeurator float is letting too much gas and it floods the engine instead of getting the power out of it. Could replacing the float bowl solve this problem? If not, any suggestions? thanks

• ANSWER:
  Do you still have the user manual or make contact with the shop if you have still warranty.

QUESTION:
What is the difference between lawn tractors?
What is the difference between "Lawn" "Yard" "Fairway" and "Garden" riding mowers/tractors? While I am asking, do you have an opinion about Briggs & Stratton vs Kohler vs Kawasaki engines in large riding mowers, such as 24hp? I am looking to spend about 00 - hoping to find a discount due to end-of-season. Thanks in advance!

• ANSWER:
  Lawn Tractors are limited to mowing and pulling utility carts and such items. NOT for Ground Engaging implements such as plows, rototillers cultivators..etc.

  Lawn" "Yard" "Fairway" are your basic grass cutters.

  The Briggs and Stratton Engines have a long term reputation for quality as does the Kohler. Never had a lot of dealings with the Kawaski but John Deer uses those almost exclusively in their lawn and garden machines.

  Garden tractors are heavier built with stronger transmissions or trans axles. Garden tractors can handle tasks from tilling new ground to plowing or blowing snow including mowing.

  00. 00 will get you a fairly good quality Tractor capable of doing a variety of jobs.

QUESTION:
what's a good tractor for my yard ?
i have a lot of obstacles, uneven ground, roots and things in about 3/4 acre of ground. i'm looking to spend under 2k for a yard tractor. i'm looking @ a john deere la115 or a craftsman 42" 24 hp mower for cutting grass spreading , thatching and possible snow removal. which would be better?

• ANSWER:
  Right now, I am also in the process of buying a tractor/lawnmower. Deciding between Craftsman YT4500 (26HP Briggs and Stratton engine, 54 inch deck) and John Deere D140 (22HP John Deere engine, 48 inch deck) both have the same price.

  In my case, price is same but the engine power and deck sizes vary. If you are deciding between 2 tractors that have same engine HP and same deck size, you should definitely go with John Deere, which has the highest consumer ratings for both functionality and maintenance.

  Also, to make the right selection of deck size and engine power for your yard, you can use Sears Yard Guru on Sears website. It's pretty helpful.

QUESTION:
I need blades for a yard king lawn tractor 52"?
I believe its made by murry not sure .Fleet Farm Or farm & fleet carried this mower for many years and now changed brands, and the SOBS dont even stock the blades anymore, or parts for what they have been selling. Its a 52" deck 3 blades and a part no. of 94692
A machine shop? are you nuts and pay what 2-300 $ for what has allways been 15 to 20 dollars
Thanks Mark as I said I need blades, no resharpening or anything can save what I have left. And would not risk fabricating something that in no way will come close to factory specs and have furter problems like bearings etc that Ill never find either.

  Sorry cant really help, but my opinion is this..... Maybe you should have bought a John Deere or a brand that is more reputable and still has parts.

  Makes me think of vehicles. Ford.......... Chevy... which would you choose??

QUESTION:
When I turned off yard man lawn tractor the starter keept running,?
I took off the battery cable to stop it.Can I fix it?

• ANSWER:
  The first thing that I would do is to remove the small wire from the starter solenoid. This is the wire that supplies voltage to the solenoid when the key is in the start position. With that wire removed, reconnect the battery cable and see if the starter still runs. If it does than you know that the solenoid is stuck and needs to be replaced. If the starter doesn't run you should look at the ignition switch.

QUESTION:
What to do? Broken front yard Water valve (meatal circle valve in front yard)?
I was cutting the grass and nailed the round metal cap thing in my front yard with the lawn tractor. Due to rust, it busted the cap off. Someone told me its some flood protection valve but i want to know for sure.

What the HELL is this thing and what do I do to get the thing back on?

• ANSWER:
  All you did was hit the cap the water main is anywhere from 6" to 3' from the top or ground level. If you broke the valve------water would be spewing from it at a rate of about 40 gallons per minute, if so CALL THE WATER COMPANY.......ASAP
  If you hear a hissing sound you broke a gas valve, then I would call the GAS COMPANY......ASAP

  If all you did is break the cap, notify the correct company of the mishap.

QUESTION:
My Toro tractor lawnmower will not start after cutting half the yard and running out of gas.?
The lawnmower will not start back up after running out of gas. The battery has been charged. The enging makes a slight noise when the key is turned, but won't turnover. The battery light then goes on. Help.

• ANSWER:
  Well, the first thing you're going to have to do is to get the motor to turn over. You haven't mentioned whether this is a push behind or rider, so having no way of knowing that, I have no way of knowing where you're going to have to attack this problem to get the motor shaft to turn. If you can see any screened area where you might find fins, which would cool the motor, you might be able to get a screwdriver in there to pry on the fins to get them to turn. If you can see the flywheel and turn that , it would be attached to the motor. Once you get the motor to turn, then you'll have a better idea of what's going on. If you ran the tank completely dry, sometimes that sucks in any impurities that may have been laying on the bottom of the tank and they will need to be cleaned out of the carburetor, usually by a blast of air or WD40, from a can. Either will work. Then good clean gas and make sure it flows through the gas line, to the carb.

QUESTION:
I accidentally put antifreeze instead of oil in my yard tractor....?
...I have changed the oil twice, but the engine
still runs noisy. Have I ruined the engine or is there something else I can do to resolve the issue?

• ANSWER:
  A friend of mine went for two laps of a one mile track with no oil in the engine. He came in with white smoke in the exhaust but the engine did not freeze up. With oil in it, it ran again and he was able to go out for the next race. We suspected it was the molybdnium disulfide we regularly put in the oil that kept it from freezing up and tearing something apart.
  Antifreeze is worse than running the engine without oil. Though it cools the engine, it does nothing to lubricate bearings or rings. Probably there was some pretty good wear in the bearings, making them loose and causing a knock every time the piston changes directions. On top of that, you may see increased oil blow by and darker smoke coming out the exhaust as it burns. That could cause upper cylinder fouling and eventually make it harder to start and run.
  If you can still start it, and it runs, try a heavier motor oil than normal to slow down the damage and make it a little quieter.

QUESTION:
What brand and model of 2008 or 2009 riding lawn mower is the most dependable for mowing a large yard?
Can you recommend a brand and model of a riding lawn mower that is safe, dependable and has a smooth ride. We have a large yard (2 acres) and my husband has had a back injury.

We have a tractor but need a riding lawn mower to cut grass around the house. Which tractor will hold up with heavy use and be comfortable to operate.

• ANSWER:
  According to the first link below, the John Deere X304 is the best lawn tractor overall.

  Second link is price...seems pretty typical though this particular model isn't at Lowe's. Didn't look at Home Depot.

  We got an old, second hand Craftsman from a customer. That rider was used on MANY big lawns while hubby had his lawn maintenance business. It was used for 5-6 years before it quit. I wish it was still working!

  Speaking only for myself, I'd look into a Craftsman. I'm not fond of Sears, but I loved riding it and miss her sorely as we now have 3 acres!

QUESTION:
How do I remove dirt from my back yard?
I do everything myself and am redoing my back yard and need to remove some dirt. I would like to get a small tractor back there but there is no room to get something that big back there. It is too narrow between my house and the side fence. My only other thought was to hire guys to come and dig it out but seems to labor intensive. There is quite a bit of dirt to remove. At least one full dump truck. Is there somethng small enough to get through a normal gate?

• ANSWER:
  Sorry. Looks like you'll have to do it the hard way: Shovel and wheelbarrow. A hot bath afterward will ease the backache.

QUESTION:
is a 36" walk behind mower big enough for my yard?
i am looking into getting a Scag walk behind mower with the platform to stand on the back. my yard is .75 acres and i maintain 3 other yards about the same size. is a 36" big enough? i was originally planning to get a 48" or 50", but those things are monsters and i am not completely used to them (i only used one a few times when mowing my church lawn, i fell in love with it instantly!). im not in any rush to get the lawns done quickly, but i think i can shave off some time by not having to turn around all the time. the zero-turn feature will help out a lot.

right now im using a 17.5hp scotts tractor with a 42" deck. it takes me about 50min to do my entire yard.
i think the walk behind would be faster b/c even though it has a small deck, it can mow much faster than my tractor, plus i dont waste time turning around.

• ANSWER:
  It really comes down to how comfortable you are with a bigger mower and how much time you have.

  You said 50 min with a 42" deck. Figure 60 to 70 minutes with a 36".

QUESTION:
turn over a crackman yard tractor and it willnot crank?
can not get engine to turn

• ANSWER:
  I have never heard of your type of tractor, so, please add detail, however, has it been exposed to water? If so, it probably got water inside, and seized up. Best bet is to drian oil. If is an odd color, other than black, then it has water in it. Replace the oil, then manually lubricate the piston housing by hand cranking the crank shaft, and lub it up. This should help.

QUESTION:
Will my Chicken come back out of hiding in my yard?
I have 7 young (probably a few months before they start laying) chickens, 2 dogs came into my yard and spooked them out of their tractor, one of them is missing, I'm pretty sure she's alive because If she was killed the dogs would have left with her, which they didn't or I would have found her. I'm hoping that she'll come out in the morning.

• ANSWER:
  I have a couple of wild hens that have decided to make my yard home and associate with the chickens we keep while they roam the yard. They wont go in the hen house during the night and roost in the trees around the yard and they come back every morning, they aren't friendly and disappear whenever we are in the yard for long periods or if the dog comes out, even though she is terrified of chooks, given that the wild birds are spooked easily and move away into hiding quickly amongst the branches of thick foliage and often don't come out for ages they still always come back for the food left for them and I would expect yours to do the same if she is not injured. Chooks can spook easily but if not harmed as such often recover quickly to resume their previous habits.
  If it is cold or wet where you are or you have nocturnal predators such as cats such a young chook will need to be found as it may not be able to survive in adverse conditions at its age. Search the branches and undergrowth of bushes being as she should be contained in the yard she shouldn't be too hard to find

QUESTION:
best yard tractor - Cub Cadet, John Deere or what?

• ANSWER:
  It depends on which one you like the best. Go set on them and get a feel of them. Check them over to see if things are easy to get to like the oil dipstick and other little things. Both Cub Cadet and JD are good machines. There are a couple different levels for them both. Usually the ones at Lowes or Home Depot are the more homeowner kinds and won't cost quite as much as the industrial level ones do. Not saying the cheaper versions are not good because they are ok. Depends on what you will be mowing. If you are going to use it at home to mow your lawn the cheaper ones will do good. If you have a lawn service or have a lot of area to mow you might want to consider paying a little more and get the industrial level. They are a little heaver built and tend to last longer during long use. Go with the one you feel you would like the best.

QUESTION:
What am I going to do with this yard of red clay and little grass?
I had guys cut down some dead or nearly dead trees, cut off lower branches of some giant pine trees and couple of other trees. All this is in my fenced back yard of about 125' w X 50' deep. Now have ground of dead weeds, open red clay soil, and the piles of pine needles and tree trunks. Well, I planned to do over yard, but between this hot, dry summer and my aching bones and lazyness (72 year old guy), I am not getting far. I'm the one who killed the weeds and I put some shrubs in, but think the really big job is going to be too much for my simple hand labor and tools. Now, I have a brainstorm. I will buy a used or new ATV, or small riding tractor, and tools to do hard work to get the debris off the ground & out, move around new dirt and stones to form nice looking places without grass, and cultivate rest of the area to put in some new grass, but mostly new shrubs and ground cover. I'm depressed and need to get out. What do you think of idea. Likely cost of vehicle needed? Thnks

• ANSWER:
  As long as you had to hire people to cut the trees, you could have payed a little more to have them remove debris. That would have been one less job for you to do. As for the tree trunks, again you can pay someone to grind and remove. Let me add, sawdust would be good mulch to to put down first before plant bushes and/or grass.

  Sometime we have to pay someone else for services needed when we can no longer do them ourselves.

  Rock gardens sounds good to me. With a little planning you could have a nice looking back yard. As far as I'm concerned the less grass to cut the better.

  Stones are heavy, but can be trucked in. Again, you will most likely will have to pay for services to put rocks where you want them.

  Husband and I are Tree Farms, so we don't cut down trees unless we have to. Then it's done to let new trees grow.

  Don't be depressed over how your yard looks now. Depending on age and income, you may qualify for free assistance. Look into it. You just may be surprised. Doesn't hurt to try. Hang in there.

Craftsman 24 HP 46 in. Deck Deluxe Yard Tractor?
My old riding mower has seen it better days and I am thinking about buying a Craftsman 24 HP 46 in. Deck. I'd like to hear from people who have one of these mowers and how they would rate it. I was looking for a new Husqvarna 46 in.,but it's like there on back order or something and can't find or order one.

• ANSWER:
  I have a Craftsman and I like it. Of course I have all the attachments:
  front blade:
  turning disc
  breaking plow
  cultivators

  You can also get a rear box blade for them as well.
  Another good item is a sprayer which haven't got since neighbor has one for his Craftsman and I borrow it all the time.

  The one thing I recommend if you are going to use it for anything other than cutting grass is go ahead and get regular tractor tires for it as well. The turf tires that comes on it don't give enough traction for plowing or blading.
  But keep turf tires so you can switch back and forth since turf tires won't dig up your yard as much.

QUESTION:
Why do companies use commercial walk behind mowers?
Why do most landscapers use commercial walk behind mowers when the cost of a brand new garden or yard tractor is so much less? I was looking to start up a buisness and I found that a 8 - 10 year old walk behind commercial mower (32-48 inches) is the same price as a brand new tractor? Anybody with lawn mowing buisness experiance an answer would be appreciated. Thanks!

• ANSWER:
  Since its been mentioned a in a few other posts- lets do a little comparison from a few years ago. A John Deere STX 38 had the same engine, same transmission, and same differential as the commercial walk behind from John Deere, however the components inside where NOT the same. So if you used a homeowner rider to do the same as a commercial walker, the rider would wear out faster because it wasn't built to take the abuse, the frame wasn't strong enough either. The commercial walk behind will last a LONG time if you take care of it (grease it /change blades daily, change oil, filters, plugs, etc on a routine basis, it will last quite a few years over a residential rider. BTW- you WILL look more professional when you are making great stripes over the yard and it looks like a professional baseball field when your done.

QUESTION:
How can I get an accurate measurement on a bucket? (Cubic yard)?
I have a tractor with an odd shaped bucket and I would like to know how many cubic yards that it holds. How can I get an accurate measurement without measuring the bucket itself. Perhaps fill it with 5 gallon buckets of sand--basically what percent of a cubic yard does a 5 gallon bucket hold??
hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance

• ANSWER:
  1 cubic yard is 202 gallons.
  5 gallons is 5/202 = 0.025 cubic yard
  It takes 40 1/2 of 5 gal buckets to make a cubic yard.

  Is the bucket water tight?

  You can fill it from a hose. Time how long it takes to fill it, then time how long the same hose takes to fill a 5 gallon bucket and divide to get number of gallons x 5.

QUESTION:
Yard Machine garden tractor wiring mauled by pet dog?
My dog destroyed the wiring harness on my Yard Machine Model:13AQN607H352 Serial: 1L070H10383. I was able to solder splice some of it back together by color code but still have a fairly big red wire (12 volts measured)(red wire that goes to starter is intact) and smaller yellow and black wires with no appearant destination on right side facing front. The yellow wire that goes to magneto is intact.

On the left side (facing front) I have a yellow with black stripe wire (there were two, I spliced one of them to another yellow with black stripe wire) but still have one with no appearant destination.

The starter turns the machine over but there is no spark or ignition. The seat safety switched seems to be unintentionally bypassed.

I can send snapshots to anyone who can help me with this. would also appreciate a better wiring diagram then the one in owner's manual,

Thanks

Hoofbeat

• ANSWER:
  I'm willing to bet, that the yellow and black wires are from the magnito to your ignition coil(s). Mainly that's wy there is no spark. You cannot connect both of those wires together because there is no AC current going to the coil and then to the plug. if you want I can take a look at the diagram for you. Just send me an e mail.

QUESTION:
yanmar tractor diecast model?
I am looking for a diecast model of a yanmar tractor. I don't know if they even make them or not. But if anyone knows if they do and can tell me where to find it I would appreciate it. Thanks

• ANSWER:
  I'd never heard of a yanmar tractor until your question. So I checked eBay - nothing popped up. If it existed, I think it would be there. You could put a search on yanmar there, and then have it keep looking for you. I've put that search below.

  THEN, after I wrote that, I got a bright idea, and found a place where you can get them. But you better move fast. Looks like the supply is VERY limited. It's the second link.

QUESTION:
Yanmar Tractor Not Working?
i have a yanmar tractor. when i crank it, it acts like its starving for fuel and then just dies slowly. i checked the fuel hoses and they are working properly. please help.

• ANSWER:
  If you took off the fuel line hoses then you probably introduced air into the fuel system. Diesel fuel systems are what they call Closed loop systems, which means that they can not be exposed to external air sources. If it is a diesel and won't start after cranking system, then you might need to look at the injector pump. This is the fuel pump on the engine side that pressurizers the fuel before it goes to the individual cylinders. Please understand that the pressure on this pump is EXTREME! If you don't know what you're doing let someone who knows work with it. Injection from the injector pump on to you or your skin can KILL YOU!

QUESTION:
Question about Yanmar farm tractors?
We recently bought a small 25 acre farm. The terrain is mostly flat with no major issues like rocks or dangerous slopes. The guy that I called about shredding the land wants 0 to do it one time. That price prompted us to think about buying our own tractor instead.

I found a used, 2-year-old Yanmar 2500, 2 x 4, 3 cylinder deisel tractor. It comes with a 5 foot shredder and also a front end loader. He wants 00. He wants to upgrade to a 4 X 4.

My question is: Is this tractor big enough to handle our 25 acres? Or should I look for a 4 X 4? What does 2 X 4 and 4 X 4 mean?

• ANSWER:
  First, 2x4 means it has four wheels and only two of them drive the tractor. Of course 4x4 means all four wheels drive the tractor. The four wheel drive is nice for hills, wet areas, snow, where additional traction is needed. It doesn't give the tractor more power, just more traction. If you are mowing flat, dry ground this sounds like a viable option. Note, if you find that you need more traction you can put tire chains on the drive wheels. Talk to the guy that is selling it, if he is above board he will tell you about the limitations of the tractor. Have him look at your property or bring the tractor over and demenstrate it.

QUESTION:
Yanmar JD 755 diesel 3 cylinder fires but won't start?
The tractor has started great until May when I tried to run it. It started a little hard and popped some black smoke from sitting all winter, but this time it ran out into the driveway and quit (black smoke). Added diesel and checked the filter/lines. I tried taking off the air intake to the injectors and sprayed WD40. It fires a little and pops white smoke occasionally, but will not run. I don't see any where to bleed the system. It was low on fuel, but not out. Can diesel go bad? Is there and additive for it? Don't have a manual or a clue what to do next. No trailer either to take it to a mechanic.

• ANSWER:
  #2 diesel gels in the winter. Depending on how cold it gets, it forms wax crystals and plugs up the fuel filter(s). Try replacing the fuel filter, and add some Power Service in the gray jug.

I am an dirtwork contractor that is also in used heavy equipment (dump trucks,dozers,tractors,etc.) sales. I have heard that there is a good market in Mexico for older machinery due to the lack of current technology.

I constantly see Meicans towing older vehicles down the interstate to Mexico. I would also like to know what the equipment would bring there compared to here.

QUESTION:
Can I sue a contractor for damage done to my property while working on another property?
I recently bought a house in a new neighborhood. The house behind me is under construction and the contractor has been using my yard as a cut through for his trucks and tractors. This has caused damage to my yard. I never gave him permission to do this and he never asked. The neighbors house is on a perfectly accesible road. The contractor has just choosen to destroy my yard instead of the yard that he is attemptingto sale. My intintion is not to sue but to threaten him to repair the damages caused to my property. Any suggestions?

• ANSWER:
  No one has the right to damage your property, unless there is an easement on the property AND the use of the easement is for the proscribed purpose that the easement exists.

  The contractor is working for someone. That's the guy with the money. Find out who it is - typically the owner of the house. Call him and tell him his contractor is damaging your property. Let him deal with the contractor and get your yard fixed. If you know who the contractor is, tell him too. Both parties will know you're serious.

  Take pictures/video. If nothing happens, have a lawyer send the owner a demand letter. Keep it simple. Be nice but firm. Don't fly off the handle. Contractors and property owners have liability insurance that pays for damage done to property of others. If the neighboring house has an owner living in the house while the work is being done, his homeowners insurance can be recourse for you.

QUESTION:
Craigslist/Ebay Sale: Safe or Not?
I responded to a post about a tractor on my local craiglist thinking the price was incorrect. Here is the response email:
Hello,
The tractor is located in Ocala, FL and I am selling it at this price (00) because i just finished the divorce with my husband. The divorce is finished and I own this tractor. I work as a dealer on a cruise ship and i want to sell it because I need money for other things. This tractor is in excellent working condition, slightly used, in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title ready for transfer. From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services. Since i am working most of my time, and divorced I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for me and you to be 100% protected. The final price that I want for this tractor is 00. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive payment and shipping details from them.
I will wait your answer very soon only if you are interested to buy because i don't have any free time to waste.
Regards ,
Judith

Is this deal legit.....can some scam you using that sort of payment?
I am asking this for my husband.....I didn't know where else to ask it....suggest category was Y!A Answers something or other.
Yeah I figured it was fake, I would personally never do it but my husband was intrigued

• ANSWER:
  100% scam.

  There is no tractor.

  There are stolen pictures of someone else's tractor.

  There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money.

  The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "car shipping company/agent" and will demand you pay for "shipping costs", in cash, and only by Western Union or moneygram.

  Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

  Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.

  You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.

  Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.

  Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.

  If you google "fake car shipping scam", "western union shipping fraud" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts of victims and near victims of this type of scam.

QUESTION:
how much would you pay for this horse? 15.3?
6 years old, she has a very sweet and kind nature and is not sharp, enjoys her flat work and always tries to please. She has jumped, but as I don't really enjoy it she is a bit green but she enjoys it. Hacks alone or in company, never strong out hacking and is 100% on the roads (used to tractors, buses etc). Good to box, shoe, catch and clip. Very good doer for type (currently lives out). Very good feet for a Tb and moves straight. no vices.

All vaccinations and worming up to date also just had her teeth done. Micro chippedd and weatherbys passported.

BUT she is only for sale due to a recent kissing spines diagnosis which has limited the amount of schooling she can do and I bought her to affiliate in dressage. She is sound and still capable of hacking/endurance/hunting (inc jumping), can do a bit of dressage but not at high level

QUESTION:
Cordless headphones used for mowing and weedwhacking?
I am 15 years old and have a small lawn business. I have a 20 horsepower Craftsman lawn tractor. I also have a gas powered weed-whacker that my parents got at a rummage sale last summer.

Being that I mow almost every day (at least/almost), I would like some headphones that cancel out noise. Not ones with a cord for an iPod or something. Just some regular, inexpensive, noise-cancelling headphones. A couple of my customers ask me why I don't wear protective hearing wear. I say, "I don't have any." They always tell me that I need to get some because they don't have their hearing because of something like I am doing now; working around loud machinery everyday.

If you could give me some information on where to get some, what they usually cost, and how much would it cost to add a radio in it? (Just wondering) I really don't want a radio in it because it's probably cheaper without a radio. Any information would be very helpful!

Thanks a lot!

• ANSWER:
  Just get straight hearing protectors. They should have them where you get your tools, or at least be able to tell you where to get them.

  The ones I use are nothing fancy. If I want to listen to the radio or music, I use earbuds inside.

QUESTION:
i am writing a letter to farm loan for a tractor how does this sound?
i need a little advice for putting more in this letter. i have to send them a letter with what im going to do with the loan for them to approve it i have to send them a letter telling them what i want. this is what i got so far.

To whom it may concern:

My name is Jordan Isaac Reese. I am interested in starting a small farm. My interest in starting a small farm is my love of working with animals and farming is something that I would love to do. Me and my family will be working on this farm. I am interested in building a pond to stock with catfish and all sorts of fish. I would like to invest into some livestock such as cattle, goats, and maybe some pigs. I would like to build a chicken coop with some laying hens. I have a interest in gardening to sale the vegetables.
The farm equipment that I would need to run my farm would be a new Holland tractor with a cab PTO a loader. that would be useful with everything that is needed to be done. With the economy the way it is I feel the need to grow and produce as much food as possible, to make a decent living.
I would like to tell you a little bit about my self. I have always had a interest in the outdoors. I have built two homes with the help of my grandfather and I do landscaping and yard mowing. And my father is a diesel mechanic which he will fix any problems I might run into while using the tractor. He has been teaching me about working on diesel engines.

• ANSWER:
  Your letter could use a little fine tuning. Your local New Holland store should be able to help you out with getting a loan for the tractor and a letter isn't necessary.

  I hope you realize you will be needing tractor implements to make all this happen.

QUESTION:
We recently sold a Lawn Tractor that now appears to have "mechanical issues"?
We recently sold a Lawn Tractor that we only owned for a little over a year because we inherited a second one. During the time we owned the Tractor we never had any problems with this item. It sat over winter and we sold it this spring. We purchased it used at that time.
Now the buyer claims to have all sorts of issues with this item, claims to have various items replaced already and now a quote for a repair that is above what he paid for the Tractor. There was no written sale contract, the items was paid for with cash.
We never had problems with this item so hearing all this just seems strange from the get go. Furthermore, we simply do not know how to respond to his since one, we do not have the funds to tell him bring it back, well we are not a retail store anyhow, two it was sold as is, it’s a used item and we had no knowledge of these alleged mechanical issues he seems to have.
Are there any laws governing this in WI? How private sellers are suppose to respond to this when you put an item in the classifieds. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

  as is means as is

QUESTION:
Farmall H: Should I be able to start from 5th gear if it still has its HP?
I went to see a Farmall H for sale, and there was not much I could do to see if it is still giving decent hp. It has 5 forward speeds. It had some trouble starting from 4th but could do it ok. 5th it could not start from. The gears are not synchronized so I don't think you are supposed to shift on the fly into 5th. Would the tractor originally then have been able to start from 5th? Does this mean its lost some HP and how much would you say? The owner did manage to shift into fifth on the fly, he said its tricky. Was this how it was intended when the tractor was brand new or should it have been able to start from fifth when it was new? I want to use this tractor to plow and disc some and it looked in ok shape otherwise, so I want it to be fairly strong. When he got it into fifth it did get up to about 15 or more mph in 120 or 150 feet probably but there wasn't more space to go after that.

• ANSWER:
  The tractor was not designed to start in fifth gear. It was designed to start in either 1st (granny gear) or second gear.
  Changing on the fly? You do not change on the fly. You *DOUBLE -DE -CLUTCH* To be honest, if you cannot double de-clutch you should not buy this tractor.

  Double-de-clutching is easy once mastered, and is how all vehicles were driven in the days before syncromesh was introduced into manual (stick) gearboxes.

  You wish to change up or down: then you do this. Push in the clutch--push gear stick to neutral---release the clutch-- depress the clutch and push the stick into the required gear and release the clutch.
  This for tractors only. However, for road vehicles, one needs to adjust the revs of the engine to match the road speed, just as you would do with a normal stick shift, only without syncromesh, you do as above as well. Complicated? No, not once you have understood what is going on with the gearbox and powers applied, etc,.

QUESTION:
managerial accounting homework help?
John Boyd Corporation manufactures and sells 1,000 tractors each month. The primary component in each tractor is the motor. John Boyd has the monthly capacity to produce 1,300 motors. The variable costs associated with manufacturing each motor are shown below:

Direct materials 24
direct labor 16
variable manufacturing overhead 29

Fixed manufacturing overhead per month (for up to 1,300 units of production) averages ,000. Joan Reid, Inc. has offered to purchase 200 motors from John Boyd per month to be used in its own outboard motors

Refer to the information above. What is the incremental cost of producing each additional motor?

.

Some other amount.

.

.

Fancy Furniture produced a batch of 2,000 coffee tables at a cost of 5,000. It was discovered that the entire batch was finished improperly. Fancy can sell the tables as seconds for 5,000 or spend an additional 5,000 to refinish them and sell them for 5,000.

Refer to the information above. In deciding whether to rework the tables or sell them as is, management should:

Compare the 5,000 proceeds from the sale of the tables as is, with the 5,000 cost of the tables.

Compare the 5,000 possible revenue from refinished tables with the total cost of 5,000 plus 5,000 to refinish.

Eliminate any alternative that results in a loss on the sale of the product.

Compare the 5,000 cost to refinish the tables with the incremental revenue of 0,000 if the tables are refinished.

Burns Industries currently manufactures and sells 20,000 power saws per month, although it has the capacity to produce 35,000 units per month. At the 20,000-unit-per-month level of production, the per-unit cost is , consisting of in variable costs and in fixed costs. Burns sells its saws to retail stores for each. Allen Distributors has offered to purchase 5,000 saws per month at a reduced price. Burns can manufacture these additional units with no change in its present level of fixed manufacturing costs.

Refer to the information above. Assume that Allen Distributors offers to purchase the additional 5,000 saws at a price of per unit. If Burns accepts this price, Burns' monthly gross profit on sales of power saws will:

Increase by ,000.

Increase by 5,000.

Decrease by ,000.

Decrease by 0,000.

• ANSWER:
  1) Since producing 200 extra motors would still keep production in the relevant range of 1,300 motors, the only incremental costs would be variable.
  Direct materials 24
  direct labor 16
  variable manufacturing overhead 29
  Incremental costs =

  2)
  Compare the 5,000 cost to refinish the tables with the incremental revenue of 0,000 if the tables are refinished.

  3) If Burns accepts the offer, production will still remain within the relevant range of 35,000 units. Therefore, fixed costs will not increase. Gross profit will increase by the amount the accepted price is greater than the variable costs.
  47 - 40 = per unit
  x 5,000 units = Increase by ,000

QUESTION:
I-Given the traditional way in which the tractor market is segmented, what scope do you think there is for us?
The David Brown Company has roots in and around Huddersheld, West Yorkshire. It was at one time best known for the production of high quality gears for use in machinery in a variety of industries. Later, David Brown, the proprietor, was associated with Aston Martin, the world-famous manu¬facturer of sports car saloons. The David Brown Company’s talents, however, were more widely based and it developed expertise in producing agricultural tractors.

The agricultural tractor market is typical of most automotive markets. The majority of sales for products are achieved in export markets throughout the world. The geographic dispersal of markets leads auto¬matically to some form of geographic segmentation. This sometimes disguises the fact that it is the end-use to which the tractors are put, rather than the geographic area itself, which creates the market segmentation. For example, the Canadian and Italian markets are clearly geographically distinct markets, but each of which has a preference for a distinct type of agricultural tractor. The Canadian market requires especially powerful tractors, capable of operating on the prairies with maximum efficiency. In the wine-growing areas of Italy, however, narrow track, low horsepower tractors are required.

David Brown Tractors produces a number of different sized models of varying horsepower capacity. The more powerful tractors are naturally physically larger than the smaller horsepower tractors. Size of tractor required is also associated with the size of fields that tractors have to plough and the number and size of implements which they have to drive, as well as the nature of the terrain which they have to work. Different horsepower tractors, with varying sizes of tracks, are suitable for different uses.

While end-use is clearly the dominant way in which the tractor market is segmented, the market is not without its quirks. The David Brown tractor is very distinctive compared with competitors’ product. The David Brown tractor is white in colour, and considered ‘the white Mercedes of the corn¬fields’. Another interesting point is that despite the obviously utilitarian nature of the agricultural tractor in most world markets many farmers’ exhibit great pride in their ‘iron horses’. It is just as much a status symbol to have a brand new large horsepower tractor parked in full view of neighbours in the farmyard, as it is to have a new Mercedes parked on the drive of a suburban house
II.What other bases of market segmentation do you think agricultural tractor manufacturers could employ?III.Gears are sold to a large number of firms operating in many different industries. What do you consider to be suitable methods for segmenting theses markets?

• ANSWER:
  1 - scope is still great. try china market. tractors there dont last 10years. they always admire german, british, european and western products.
  2 - agricultural produce, physical landscape, terrain, choice of individual farmers. use those who have it to talk about it. advertizement.
  3 gears may need to be reconfigured to suit terrain, power etc? invent a new gear or modify it. show new performance for italian or canadian farms

QUESTION:
Is this legal? Furniture sold off a truck?
I just answered my doorbell - this guy tells me he has a truck full of brand new furniture and he wanted to let me know I can walk through it and purchase any item off of the truck at a huge discount and they'll bring it right on it. The tractor trailer was parked right in front of my house (with a ton of young kids playing in the neighborhood). The guy tells me he is going door to door through my neighborhood trying to sell everything off of his truck before it gets dark.

1. This just sounds sketchy - should I call the police and have them at least drive over and check this guy out?
2. Can you think of a legitimate reason why a large furniture chain would ever use this sales method??
3. Is there anything illegal about buying furniture like this? I've seen similar trucks pulled along side the road from time to time, I've never stopped but wondered!
P.S. I turned the guy down saying I wasn't interested, he's moved his truck a couple houses down and is still knocking on doors

• ANSWER:
  Well, obviously something went wrong somewhere. I agree with the first answer... it's either stolen or the guy didn't get paid for his load or something... maybe the company lost track of his load and he's taking advantage of it by selling it off. Regardless, there's nothing wrong with calling the police about it. You can tell them what you told us here... they'll check it out if they feel they should. That's what I would do.

  Mistakes are in brackets. "Usted" isn't really a grammatical error, but you should omit it because we normally don't use the pronons, specially in that type of text. So, if you use it, it sounds very strange.
  Although you have some mistakes, I think you are a very good translator

QUESTION:
GTA IV not as good as rated!?
I have been playing GTA 4 very often since it was released. With this latest sale I got the GTA Classic pack to complete the GTA series. After the purchase I started to play GTA San Andreas again. After playing some times with SA again, my old memories came back about the game. That's why I decided to make this topic.

In my opinion GTA 4 has amazing graphics and physics, the story is nice also. But nothing more. After completing the story there is no reason for me to "just" play the game without doing any missions.

GTA San Andreas has cartoon type graphics and physics but it has got more to offer than GTA 4. Want to leave town for a little jeeping/motocrossing on the nearby mountains? Fly to another city? Parachute from a plane? Have your own Airport with your planes and Military Jet? Mod your cars? Play Blackjack in casinos? Use an Apache helicopter to kill badguys? Break into houses at nights? Attend a car school? Take the risk to break into the military base to steal a tank? Go quadding in the forest? Steal a boat and use it on the river to get to another city? Have your own Car Showroom? Attend delivery missions using trucks with attached trailers? Steal tractors from surprised farmers (owns anything:P)? You can do all these and much much more in SA.

And what can you do in GTA 4 besides the missions? Go and drunk yourself? It wont be funny after you have done it for the 30. time. Go to the strip club to see the same lame dancers every time? Maybe play pool, go out with your girl, go eat something or attend a car race? GTA: SA knows those also... Not to mention those irritating phonecalls from your "friends" to do the same stuff over and over again.

I am not saying GTA SA is a perfect game, or it is better than GTA 4. GTA 4 is a great game, when you first load it, you will be amazed by it, thats for sure. But to be honest after playing loads of hours with it, I have to say it is nothing more than a GTA 3 with improved graphics and physics. And GTA 3 is a step backwards from San Andreas.

Now if GTA 4 would have been a GTA: San Andreas with the improved graphics and physics...well...should I say more?

I would really like to hear your opinion about this.

QUESTION:
Need help with shipping portion of sales contract?
I came up with a hypothetical fact scenario for my business law class and based on the scenario we are supposed to create a sales contract. Here is the scenario I came up with:

Your Fine Motors is a truck rental company in Atlanta, Georgia that rents trucks, tractors, and trailers. Your Fine Motors also sells used vehicles to companies who are in any type of trucking industry. ATR Movers is a company in St. Petersburg Florida who provide intrastate and interstate packing and moving services, along with temporary storage. ATR currently has 10 trucks in its fleet, and is currently planning an expansion. ATR will need to purchase an additional 5 box trucks in order to go forward with its planned expansion. The trucks need to be purchased and available to the fleet within 2 months.

I want to have ATR go to pick up their own trucks without the need for a 3rd party carrier, but I am having a hard time determining what this kind of contract would be called (shipment, destination, etc) and am also having a hard time finding another contract to look at as a guide. If anyone could please help or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

• ANSWER:
  If you don't specify a place of delivery, then by default the place of delivery is the seller's place of business. That's in UCC 2-308.

  But if you still want to specify it in the contract, then just spell it out. "Seller shall deliver the goods to seller's warehouse at 10 Main St., on May 1, at which time Buyer shall be responsible for said goods."

  You don't need any magical technical language. Just use plain English.

QUESTION:
need help with my MBA marketing project report?
I am doin my internship in a manufacturing company making Diesel engine parts mainly for tractors. The task given to me by the company is to use the internet and identify potential customers (Diesel engine/tractor OEMs & spare parts distributors) in the export market (no geographical restrictions).Then contact them and if possible to try and get an rfq from them. I have given my project title as "export potential for my firm's products in the international tractor OE and after sales markets" but am not able to get any (secondary)data or market research reports onthe net.I also doubt if a questionnaire would work because all are foreign companies and they are not even responding to my emails which i am sending on behalf of my company.

Can you please suggest how to go about obtaining data for the project report for this study and is there any website where i could find marketing project reports?Also is there any other approach i can take (other than export potential ) to do my study?

• ANSWER:
  One common mistake that many students do is 'follow the title of the project'. The title can be changed (& in most cases, it wil be changed) any time during the project (generally towards the completion). Your objectives might have been framed by now, so just follow them & acheive them. If you find any difficulties in acheiving a particular task, just drop it unless its the spine of the project (it sounds bad but in reality, the time period given to you to finish your project would be limited to do everything). Towards the completion just review what you have done & the title would come up automatically. Eg: I started my project with TQM, but due to time limitations & unavailbilty of required data, it turned into 'Quality of work life' i.e, I could complete only a portion of TQM & that little portion was my report.

  For the secondary data, you need not always have a questionnarire as the data collecting tool. Try to get information from the websites of those companies, from the previous records of your company (what kind of companies it catered to earlier would help you find similar companies (potential companies)).

  The data you require or the tools depend largely upon the type or nature of your research study. For example if the study is exploratory in nature, you dont actually need a questionnaire. Data can be obtained through observation. A silly example would be, say if you want to know the number of men voting at a particular poll booth you need not have a questionnaire asking the respondents about their gender. You can simply have the data through your observation.

  All that I can say is just start your work, keep a watch over the deadlines.

QUESTION:
Wanting to adopt a chicken. Help?
I was at the Tractor Supply Store and I saw these Baby chickens for sale. I have know clue how old they where or what breed they where, but I'd like to adopt one. I'm just clue less on what to do, I saw that they had this hot light thing above the chickens. These chickens will not be used for food thy will be for pets.

• ANSWER:
  Actually, the Tractor Supply stores will sell you one or two. I always recommend getting at least two, they keep each other company. While they are small, they need a confined space that would be about 3'x2'. Use cedar chips under their feet. The individuals at the Tractor Supply should be able to sex them for you and will have their breed information as well. You need a waterer, Pullet feed (this is for the babies) and a heat lamp. The babies require between 80-90 degrees. Make sure they have a place to get away from the heat lamp if its too hot. If the temperature outside is in the 80's, just use the heat lamp at night. The sales people at the supply store will help answer your questions and they also have lots of books you can read!!

QUESTION:
What do you think of "Fair Trade"?
Shocked by the price differences for the raw materials at their source (such as coffee in Honduras) and the final points-of-sale (such as latte at Seattle Starbucks), the simple minds imagined a "corporate conspiracy" towards defrauding the poor growers. The "Fair Trade" was born...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_trade

Now, the way I look at it is thus... There are plenty of coffee-growers. Starbucks (and other corporations offering "fair trade" products) don't need so many beans. So they all have to decide SOMEHOW on which grower will get their business... Under the normal rules of Free Market Capitalism, the decisions are based, primarily, on the QUALITY and the PRICE. Maybe, on the RELIABILITY of the supplier as well.

Once you throw the concept of "social justice" into the mix, what happens? Somebody has to evaluate the farmers - to determine, if they qualify...

You may see an enthusiastic fan of diversity doing their benevolent best to make the determination.

I see vast opportunities for corruption -- as the determination can make a farmer very rich (by local standards) by qualifying his harvest for the price 2-3 times higher than the market...

At best, it keeps the people, who are unable to compete in real life, in business by subsidizing inefficient (too high a price for too low a quality) methods and means -- as long as you use horses, you are Ok, but once you switch to tractors, you don't qualify, for example. So modern methods of production end up at disadvantage, and we all end up suffering slower progress.

At worst it corrupts local markets and defeats the Capitalism -- humanity's best hope for comfortable affluence -- before it even properly takes root in some of the developing countries...

QUESTION:
Top Mexican Drug Lord Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla "I Trafficked Cocaine For The U.S. Government"?
The “logistical coordinator” for a top Mexican drug-trafficking gang that was responsible for purchasing the CIA torture jet that crashed with four tons on cocaine on board back in 2007 has told the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago that he has been working as a U.S. government asset for years.

Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla is the son of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia, one of the top kingpins of the Sinaloa drug-trafficking organization. Niebla was arrested in Mexico in March 2009 and extradited to the United States to stand trial last February.

“The indictment pending against Zambada Niebla claims he served as the “logistical coordinator” for the “cartel,” helping to oversee an operation that imported into the U.S. “multi-ton quantities of cocaine … using various means, including but not limited to, Boeing 747 cargo aircraft, private aircraft … buses, rail cars, tractor trailers, and automobiles,” writes Narcosphere’s Bill Conroy.

In a two page court pleading filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago, Niebla claims that he was working on behalf and with the authority of, “The U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”); and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”); and the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”),” since January 1, 2004.

Niebla is also connected to the Gulfstream II jet that wrecked with four tons of cocaine on board on September 24, 2007. European investigators linked the plane’s tail number, N987SA, to past CIA “rendition” operations. The bill of sale for the Gulfstream jet, sold weeks before it crashed, listed the name of Greg Smith, a pilot who had previously worked for the FBI, DEA and CIA.

The plane was purchased by Niebla’s Sinaloa drug-trafficking organization through a syndicate of Colombian drug-traffickers that included a CIA asset named Nelson Urrego, according to another undercover CIA operative, Baruch Vega, who was involved in the deal.

“The Gulfstream II jet, according to Mexican authorities, was among a number of aircraft acquired by the Sinaloa drug organization via an elaborate money laundering scheme involving a chain of Mexican casa de cambios (currency exchange houses) overseen by alleged Sinaloa organization operative Pedro Alfonso Alatorre Damy, according to Mexican government and U.S. media reports,” writes Conroy.

Sinaloa bought the jet by wiring money through the U.S. banking giant Wachovia, now a subsidiary of Wells Fargo. “In total, nearly million dollars went through correspondent bank accounts at Wachovia for the purchase of aircraft to be used in the illegal narcotics trade. From these aircraft, more than 20,000 kilograms of cocaine were seized,” states Wachovia’s deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice. Wachovia was forced to pay a penalty of around 0 million dollars for allowing the money to be laundered through its correspondent bank accounts.

“So, the criminal cases pending against alleged Colombian narco-trafficker Urrego, accused money-launderer Damy and Sinaloa organization logistics chief Zambada Niebla all appear to connect through the Gulfstream II cocaine jet at some level,” summarizes Conroy.

Another private aircraft that was full of cocaine crashed in New Mexico on Sunday morning, but the plane has yet to be identified.

In addition to smuggling narcotics into the United States, Niebla is also accused of obtaining weapons from the U.S. with the intent to use them to cause violence in Mexico City, leading to the murders of several innocent people. Despite the fact that the Obama administration has cited the flow of guns from the U.S. into Mexico as an excuse with which to attack the second amendment rights of Americans, it was recently revealed that the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives deliberately allowed guns to be smuggled from the U.S. into the hands of Mexican drug lords under “Operation Fast and Furious”. President Obama later denied that he had any knowledge of the program.

Niebla’s assertion that he smuggled drugs from Mexico into the United States while working for the U.S. government adds further weight to the already voluminous body of evidence that confirms the CIA and U.S. banking giants are the top players in a global drug trade worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year, information made public by the likes of Gary Webb, who it was claimed committed suicide in 2004 despite the fact that he was found with two gunshot wounds to the head and after Webb himself had complained of death threats and “government people” stalking his home.

QUESTION:
Equine pine pellet bedding as cat litter?
I currently use Feline Pine and it was suggested several times on YA that wood pellets (the type used in pellet stoves) are an equal substitute and much cheaper. Unfortunately, my local farm supply store only carries the wood pellets seasonally. But, I saw an ad from Tractor Supply Co for equine pine pellet bedding, and I'm guessing it's similar or equal. TSC is out of my way so I thought I'd get opinions before I go and look in case you're wondering why I don't just go and see for myself!
You can't beat the price: on sale for for two 40lb bags, while Feline Pine is for one 20lb bag at WalMart!
It's great stuff btw and I wish I'd switched years ago. But I'd love to save $, of course.
Here's a link to their ad if it helps:

a.Using a graphing calculator, draw a scatter plot of the data with speed as the independent variable. What type of relation appears to exist between speed and miles per gallon? Round to four decimal places.

b.Find the linear regression model, with speed as the independent variable. Round to four decimal places. 0.2x+14.8889 Does this appear to be a good fit? Explain your answer. I think not because the r^2 = 0.5947 which is not too close to one or negative one.

c.Find the quadratic regression model, with speed as the independent variable. Round to four decimal places. Does this appear to be a good fit? Explain your answer.

d.Determine which model is the better fit by comparing the r2 values. Which model is the better fit? Why?

e.Use the better model to predict the miles per gallon for a Camry that is traveling 63 miles per hour. Round to four decimal places.

2.)The John Deere company has found that the revenue from sales of heavy-duty tractors is a function of the unit price p, in dollars, that it charges. The revenue R, in dollars is:

a.At what prices p is revenue zero? Round to four decimal places.

b.For what range of prices will revenue exceed ,300,000? Round to four decimal places.

• ANSWER:
  a)

  after drawing, the data appears to be a linear at the beginning and a half parabola at the second half the data. so i will call it a quartic.

  --------------------

  b)

  after finding the Linear the regression, the equation is y = 0.2x + 14.88 and its coefficient correlation is R^2 - 0.594

  it is really doesn't appear to be a good fit. in order to be a good fit, it has to be 1.

  -----------------

  c)
  the quadratic equation is y = - 0.011x^2 + 1.386x - 12.78 ....and its coefficient correlation is R^2 = 0.86.

  it is not that much good, but it is better that the linear regression.

  ----------------

  d)

  the better fit i found was the sixth degree polynomial as the following equation:

  y = 5E-07x^6 - 0.000x^5 + 0.016x^4 - 1.069x^3 + 37.36x^2 - 682.6x + 5113

  the reason i found was the better fit because its coefficient relation was R^2 = 0.985

  ----------------

  e)

  y = 5E-07x^6 - 0.000x^5 + 0.016x^4 - 1.069x^3 + 37.36x^2 - 682.6x + 5113

  63 = 5E-07x^6 - 0.000x^5 + 0.016x^4 - 1.069x^3 + 37.36x^2 - 682.6x + 5113

  since it would be pretty bad to solve for x, we are going to graph another equation as y = 63 to our equation.
  after using the graphing utility which is wolframalpha, they never intersect each other. so we can't predict.

  http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Plot%5B{63%2C+5113.+-+682.6+x+%2B+37.36+x^2+-+1.069+x^3+%2B+0.016+x^4+%2B+5.*^-7+x^6}%2C+{x%2C+0%2C+55}%2C{y%2C+0%2C+20000}+%5D

  ============

  2)

  a)
  when the Revenue is 0 as the following:

  0 = -0.5p^2+1900p
  0 = p * ( -0.5p + 1900 )
  p = 0
  -0.5p + 1900 = 0 ===> = 0.5p = 1900 ===> p = 3800

  -------------

  b)

  to exceed, let's equal it to it as the following:

  1,300,000 = -0.5p^2+1900p
  0 = -0.5p^2+1900p - 1,300,000 ====> quadratic equation:

  [ - b +/- √( b^2 - 4 * a * c ) ] / [ 2 * a ]
  [ - 1900 +/- √( 1900^2 - 4 * -0.5 * -1300000 ) ] / [ 2 * -0.5 ]
  [ - 1900 +/- √( 3,610,000 - 2,600,000 ) ] / [ -1 ]
  1900 -/+ √( 3,610,000 - 2,600,000 )
  1900 -/+ √(1,010,000)

  1900 - √(1,010,000) ≈ 895
  1900 + √(1,010,000) ≈ 2905

  now, these prices make 1,300,000. but we want to exceed.

  at 895 ≤ p ≤ 2905

QUESTION:
Wood stove pellets as cat litter?
I have been using Feline Pine and since it colder I see wood stove pellets for sale at Home Depot & Lowes. If you use wood stove pellets what brands is okay to use? What do I look for?

At Home Depot I saw 2 different brands: "American Wood Fiber" & (I forgot the other brans). I don't know what they have at Lowes.

There aren't any tractor or feed stores nearby.
I emailed my question about glue and additives to American Wood Fibers and this was their response:
Hi Kim,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding using our fuel pellets as cat litter. We don't add any glues or other additives to the pellets, but I would recommend that you stick to a 100% pine pellet if you are considering using it for litter. Hardwoods, such as what we use in our fuel pellets, are not as absorbent as softwoods like pine. If there is an Agway store near you, you might be able to find our pine pellets which we package in their private label bag. Really almost any equine bedding pellet or fuel pellet made from pine only may be cheaper per pound than the Feline Pine or other pellets packaged as cat litter. Obviously we'd prefer you buy ours, but if they are not available near you, I wanted to at least offer some advice.

I hope this helps. Thank you for your interest in American Wood Fibers products.

ebay scam please help ! ?
ok so we need a tractor and i went on to craigslist found a 2006 john deere tractor for 90 which is really good and the lady emailed me saying that she will deliver the tractor and she wants the payment through eBay Financial Department and she said that you can inspect the vechile and evrything and the you can give me the money through eBay heres what you said:We will use only eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection to complete the sale
I want the payment to be handled by eBay Financial Department. They will keep the money until you will receive and inspect the car. You will have 7 days of inspection period. If the tractor is not like described you will have to ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. This way, you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it

thats what she said what do u think.

• ANSWER:
  This person is selling a tractor on Craiglist, but wants you to go through eBay Financial for payment. The question I would have, why doesn't this person use eBay to sell the item rather than Craig's List? To be it sounds a bit fishy and I would not go through with the transaction. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

Sam goes to Home Depot and tells a sales associate that he "needs some heavy duty rope to use on my farm" The sales associate recommends the one-inch-thick, heavy duty nylon rope and Sam buys 150ft. of it. Sam, later that day attaches the rope to the motor generator, pulls the rope through a pulley with the aid of a tractor and lifts the generator off the floor. Suddenly the rope breaks. The generator falls to the ground and hurts Sam. Sam files a suit against Home Depot for damages.... Who wins and why??
its a hypothetical question lol. sorry its 4 a law class

• ANSWER:
  'Sam' did not give specifics to the Home Depot employee. Once a product leaves the store it is no longer a stores responsibility.
  You purchase things and use them at your OWN discretion. How can he fault Home Depot??!!
  The fault may have been his own doing.
  It may have frayed from rubbing as it was lifted.
  He did not have any one helping support him as he did this job so there are no witnesses.
  How can he prove it is anyone else but his own fault!!!

QUESTION:
Farmall H tractor: what plow? Needs wheels?
I just bought a nice 1947 farmall h not converted to 3 point hitch. I think everything is pretty much original except the paint. I don't know how plows work really and what plow I should use. There is a 2 furrow plow for a farmall a supposedly for sale near me, but will it be a good fit? Also, it doesn't appear to have wheels. I thought thses old plows had wheels. Help! I would also like to buy a disc and a chisel plow. Also, what do you think of farmall h...it seems from the internet to be quite a workhorse.

• ANSWER:
  The Farmall H was one of the most popular tractors ever made. Lots of them still in use. They were not eguiped with a 3-Point hitch. They are best used for drawbar work such as pulling a wagon, manure spreader, hay rake, plow, etc. The tractor cannot lift implements---only pull. Therefore, the plow you need has to have it's own wheels and the mechanism to lift tye plows out of the ground. This tractor has enough power to pull a 2-Bottom plow. The disc you want should also have it's own wheels and mechanism to lift the disc for transport. A lot of implements built today require the tractor to do the lifting such as a box blade, chisel plow, roto tiller, front end loader. This requires hydraulics built into the tractor.Your tractor wasn't built with hydraulics. So, in your search for implements,just keep this in mind. You do have power take-off built in, so you can run a mower, hay baler, self unloading wagon and many other things. If this is your first tractor,you will find out that you can no longer live without one. Have fun with it!

Here it is over 5 months and still no refund or tractor. It is my opinion that Yancheng Foreign Trade Corp. Ltd and the companies that they are doing business as are crooks. Beware of Yancheng Foreign Trade Corp. Ltd. It has been a nightmare for me to try to get my money back. I hope that by persevering I may someday get a refund.Added on 27-07-2011 05:22
It is July 20, 2011 and still no refund or tractor.Added on 20-07-2011 09:03
I believe Yancheng Foreign Trade Corp. Ltd also uses the names Farmhand Machinery Asia Pacific Ltd
and Yancheng Star Machinery Co.,Ltd.Added on 28-06-2011 08:42
BEWARE I would not deal with them.
July 29 and still no refund.

QUESTION:
What is a billion?
What is a BILLION???

The next time you hear a politician use the word
"billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want
the "politicians" spending your tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one
advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure
into some perspective in one of its releases.

a. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

b. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

c. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the
Stone Age.

d. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two
feet.

e. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes
, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's
take a look at New Orleans. It's amazing what you can learn
with some simple division .

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently
asking the Congress for 0 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.
Interesting number, what does it mean?

a. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New
Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get 6,528.

b. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New
Orleans, your home gets ,329,787.

c. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets
,066,012.

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago
and there was prosperity, absolutely no national debt,
the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed
home to raise the kids.

What the hell happened?????
Got this in an email, and thought I would share it. Responses? (and remember, BOTH current ruling parties have been in control during the past 100 years)...time for a change? What, and how?
Making laws that protect workers has nothing to do with taxation. THAT is not where we went wrong, and the other examples show at best, no societal growth, when you take into account that environemental factors causing cancer in the workplace have replaced the lack of safety mechanisms. We just replaced one hazzard with another. Could this be because of the ineffectiveness of gov't? And their intrusion into tings that theyare nt qualified to deal with, and are poltically motivated to answer?
Feo, they would suffer the same fate as the oil companies who are attached to the gov't teat...
I also don't need to look to history to find homeless children in america. We have the infant mortality rate of a third world country. I don;t see how it gets worse than that. Also, seniors having to choose between medicine and food, and also being homeless.

• ANSWER:
  "Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago
  and there was prosperity, absolutely no national debt,
  the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed
  home to raise the kids. "

  Actually, the rich paid the taxes back then and there were luxury taxes to be paid on luxury items. And, 100 years ago there was abject poverty in this country and senior citizens who had no money were homeless and there were alot of them. There were alot of homeless children as well. To say there was a large middle class 100 years ago isn't quite true. It was a growing middle class but the majority of people in this country were not middle class then. Many were poor farmers and sharecroppers. The poor in the cities out numbered the middle class and they worked in the factories under horrible conditions. Child labor laws were not implemented yet either. So, you need to do a little more digging into your history. The middle class is getting shafted though, you are right about that. And, the richest 3% and the corporations are making off like thieves with offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes and with huge government subsidies in the billions in the form of grants. Those are going to corporations that are already hugely profitable. And they are being paid to take their businesses to other countries by our tax dollars.

I didn't put this here just to be insulted...and NO I am NOT clueless!! Just asking opinions....

• ANSWER:
  "Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, "

  Actually at least half of those taxes, excluding the ones that are not taxes and the ones you listed more than once under different names, existed 100 years ago. That list hasn't changed in 20 years, despite the subsequent repeal of some of the taxes listed. The telephone excise tax, for example, was first imposed in 1898 and repealed in 2006.

  When someone cuts and pastes this list two years from now, I have no doubt they will still list the corporate income tax, that turns 100 next year, as a tax that did not exist 100 years ago.

QUESTION:
Does Yahoo! Finance have a transaction service like an escrow for sales of big ticket items or is this a scam?
In our local paper, somebody put an advertisement for a tractor. The tractor sounds nice and at a good price. However, when I e-mailed the person, he said he wanted to use Yahoo! Finance for the transaction. And he is located somewhere across the country, many miles away.

Is this a real service? and how foolproof is it?

His statement was this:
"...I want to use Yahoo! Finance for this transaction. This service allows us to complete the transaction in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. It acts like a third party between seller and buyer, to insure that the buyer receives the item and the seller receives the payment,..."

Thanks!
UPDATE:
I emailed the guy selling the tractor and asked for a phone number, and details about the yahoo finance service and did not get ANY response...starting to sound a lot like a scam to me also. Shame on the local paper for printing this ad. without checking it out first.

• ANSWER:
  I also am in contact with the "seller" I cannot find a service in yahoo finance like Paypal and he is really pushy to get payment now.... sounds like a scam.

QUESTION:
How can I sell older used heavy equipment in Mexico. What are some sources that I can check on?
I am an dirtwork contractor that is also in used heavy equipment (dump trucks,dozers,tractors,etc.) sales. I have heard that there is a good market in Mexico for older machinery due to the lack of current technology. I am interested in finding out more about this in order to find a new market, as well as use this for a chance to be able to visit Mexico and make monye at the same time. I constantly see Meicans towing older vehicles down the interstate to Mexico. I would also like to know what the equipment would bring there compared to here. If there are any other ideas as to what I could do to be able to visit the country and make money at the same time along these similar lines they would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, King

• ANSWER:
  Here are some helpful links:

  Travel info:
  http://www.traveldocs.com/mx/index.htm

  Yellow pages (choose a state in Mexico & search for heavy equipment:
  http://seccionamarilla.com.mx/default.asp

  As for the towing & transporting of vehicles, you would have to conttact the Mexican Embassy (in the USA) near you and request that info. They will give you the forms and what you need to be able to transport what you want. Easier than you think!! Good luck. ;o)
