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)

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

how much would you pay for her?

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:
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:
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:
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:
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.

Can you imagine that things used to be this way and do you wish it could go back?

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:
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.

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.

• ANSWER:
  I agree with you.

  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.

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:
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.

  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:
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:
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:
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. I don't have a clue once I adopt it what I would do. Basically just tell me once I got it what I would do, how to tell the sex of it, and misc. information I will need to know along the way of raising it. It will be living out side in a chicken coop, oh great the chicken coop, I don't know how to make that too. Im just overoverwhelmedlease,Please,Please help! Thanx, Jake

• 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:
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.

Regards,
Rich Whiting

Knock- the feed/tractor trailer stores are really far unless you want to drive me there

• ANSWER:
  Yes, it is okay. Stick to a 100% pine pellet product and call/email the company before buying to ask if it is safe. Ideally look for products that say they are for animal bedding. i.e. horse bedding.

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:

QUESTION:
Calculus problem with linear and quadratic equation.?
An engineer collects the following data showing the speed, s, of a Toyota Camry and its average miles per gallon, M.
Speed, sMiles per Gallon, M
3019
3521
4023
4525
5025
5529
6030
6527
7025

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:
R(p)= -0.5p^2+1900p
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

Sam, a farmer from California, needs to lift a 2500 pound generator from the floor of his barn to a hayloft 15-18ft off the floor. 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!!!
  Sam is stupid and should thank God he is still alive to whine.
  Yet another problem with America...the 'sue-happy' nation.

QUESTION:
Can he...Law suit?

• ANSWER:
  HD wins......the guy never specified what was being done on the farm....he just said "some heavy duty rope to use". He gave him heavy duty rope in the employee's opinion. Sam should have specified and then the tensilary strength of the rope could have been determined.

QUESTION:
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.

  However, get it in writing, take lot of pictures of the tractor so you have proof that there was either somthing wrong OR not if you where to return it.

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!

Can anyone imagine that this is how it really was, and wish it was that way again?

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.

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

COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago

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.

We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'

And I still have to 'press
1' for English.

What the heck happened?????

• ANSWER:
  You could have said all of that in one word: Reaganomics!

QUESTION:
Are these taxes really necessary?
Subject: What is a billion?

What is a 'billion'?
Now here's a reality check!

This is too true to be very funny

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 is 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

What happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'

And I still have to 'press 1' for English
The question is; are these taxes really necessary?
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:
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)

QUESTION:
Discounts on used garden equipment.?
Found a Garden Tractor Mower at Sears Warehouse Outlet, the unit is used, has not been cleaned up. They want to sell the unit at 30% off the orginal selling price. The problem I have is that the tag on this unit shows that the tractor has been reduced in price twice now, yet they want to go back to the orginal price when it was new, this one is used and shows it. There are other tractors with less horse power that are new, and have been reduced to almost the same price as the one I would like to purchase. Does anyone have advice, besides walk away ?
I don't know for certain how long they plan on keeping the 30% on this tractor and other tractors for sale. They are offering 30 to 50% discounts on all the items they have in the warehouse until June 8-2007.

• ANSWER:
  i' say get the new one because with the old one you really don't know how the people that used it treated it and plus new means that it should hold up longer with out any problems mechanical wise plus the new one looks better right? and plus what do you plan on doing with the tractor that you would need that extra bit of horsepower?
  so i say get the new one definitely especially since it is almost the same price

  *hope this helps! *

QUESTION:
Best garden tractor for the money?
I'm a new homeowner, and for the first time in my life have enough yard (about 2 acres) to justify a riding lawn mower. I'd prefer something a little more heavy-duty-- a so-called "garden tractor"-- because I'm likely to use it for more than just mowing. Aerating, seeding, hauling around mulch and setting out a garden are among the activities in which I'd employ the tractor.

I looked at a new gasoline-powered Kubota today with a 46-inch mowing deck and an 18 horsepower Kohler V-twin engine, but the dealer wanted something like ,800 for it!

For obvious reasons, then, I'm also entertaining used garden tractors. Later today, I'm going to check out an old Ford LGT garden tractor-- the local New Holland (former Ford tractor) dealer says parts are plentiful, though I would have to order most of them and wait a couple days for them to come in if something on this late '70s-early '80s tractor happened to break. If the asking price isn't more than 0 or 0, I'll be sorely tempted to buy it, despite its age. My family has a history of restoring old mowers like this one, for what it's worth.

Anyway, I'm interested in hearing your opinions on this: New or used, what's the best garden tractor out there for a not-too-ridiculous price? I'm talking under ,500 used-- preferably under ,000 used to be honest-- and under ,500 if new.

• ANSWER:
  Don't waste your time of a smaller ones from Lowe's, home depot, etc.. Those are overpriced lawnmowers. Kubota has great, reliable and nice tractors / mowers. They may not be the cheapest, but me and my family have two of them. We will never need another one. We have a zero turn with a huge deck and a G1800 or something around that design it has 4 wheel steering( its over 10 years old, has been take care of, and has shown no problems ). My family and I live on 4 acres. The zero turn can mow all of it within two hours. We have never done any major repairs on them. Simple routine maintenance can keep them running strong for a long time (changing oil, filters, and sharpening blades).
  There are many good mowers out there, but you get what you pay for. Kubota has treat me well and I will never get anything other than them. I believe you could probably find a good well maintained used one at a cheaper price ( look into the G series ).

QUESTION:
what do i need to be competetive in the landscaping business?
i have three customers right now and i use a lawn tractor (17hp, 42") and a poulan pro string trimmer mainly but also have a push mower. i was considering getting a big zero turn mower to recruit more customers next year.
what else would i need to seriously compete with the pros? i already have good prices (less than ), i think the other guys charge between -50.
i forgot to say, the yards in my area are about 1acre in size. it takes me on average 40-60min to complete one yard, so i would look at getting a zero turn with at least a 48" deck.

QUESTION:
Where can I find used outdoor power equipment ?
Budget price blowers, mowers, trimmers , tractors , anything.
*Gas equipment

• ANSWER:
  It will depend on where you live. In the Northeast, I would check yard sales and flea markets. You will just need to make sure it works before purchasing it, but you can find good deals. Other than that, you can check with local repair shops, as they sometimes will have equipment they have repaired that they are willing to sell, or may know of someone getting rid of stuff.

QUESTION:
Tractor recommendation for 12 stall horse barn - farm?
Anyone have any good tractor recommendations for a 12 stall horse farm, mainly for use of manure clean up and piling - any brands you have or haven't had luck with like Deere, New Holland, Case, Massey - Ferguson, etc. Price is not top priority to quality, any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated, TY.

• ANSWER:
  Kubota. Our little Kubota front loader can do absolutely anything. It's 15 years old and still running strong with minimal maintenance. Had such great success with it that we got the Kubota RTV and zero-radius lawn mower as well.

QUESTION:
Battle Tank made from Lawn Tractor?
I want to make a replica battle tank with a used riding lawn mower/lawn tractor. I don't need the actual grass cutting feature for this project.

I thought about welding on a few steel supports to the existing frame, that extend outward several feet that I can use to attach planks of thin plywood to give the vehicle the shape of a tank, and also make the interior of decent size.

Since I will not be cutting any grass, how many Horse Power should the engine be? Speed is also not a major concern. I would rather get just a few MPH and have it bigger, than having it small and fast.

For however much horsepower you think is needed, what is a reasonable price to pay for a used mower that is in running condition... it doesn't have to look pretty.

• ANSWER:
  i would look at what type of transmission it has. you will needsomething that you can actually gear down.

  i would think at least a two clyinder 20 hp or so.

  a z turn hyrostatic would give the true tank effect of being able to reverse one side while forward in the other.

QUESTION:
If crude prices hit 0 a barrel, what would the most immediate and profound effect be on illegal immigration
Keep in mind, all our grain is affordable because of fertilizers (petroleum bi-products) and farm machinery (tractors using petroleum fuel).

QUESTION:
Which of the following cause inflation (or higher nominal gdp to real GDP ratio than the previous year)?
A) An increase in the prices of large tractors produced
B) An increase in the prices of used cars sold
C) An increase in the prices of new houses produced

• ANSWER:
  technically none of them cause inflation because true inflation is related to the supply of money. However all of them would be reflected in a rise in the CPI, which is the more common use of the word inflation.

QUESTION:
How much more can this Labour government do to screw the British driver?
At the moment car drivers in the UK are paying some of the highest fuel prices in Europe. Although this isnt all Labour's fault, they could help by lowering the absurd fuel tax.

Now today the truth is coming out over the higher rate tax for certain cars. We were initially told this would affect gas guzzlers, chelse tractors etc now today we are told that over 9 million cars will fall into this bracket including my beloved Vauxhall Zafira. I am now set to pay close to 4 times what I pay at the moment.

QUESTION:
Value of a Lawn Tractor?
I purchased a 2006 Troy Built Lawn Tractor for ,500.00 new from Lowes in 2006. I sent it into a repair shop in the fall of 2009 and when it was finished I didn't have the money right away. Long story short, my wife spoke to the owners wife who said they could store it until I had the money. (she was very understanding and said that they had just moved it to their large storage area) They had the tractor less than 6 months total and we have been in communication with them over that time frame. I called then 2 weeks ago and the husband/owner said "sorry, we sold it because you left it here". We didn't sign any papers, we have used them in past so they know we pay..can he do this? I am going to file in small claims but I can't figure the honest amount to ask the courts to make them give us. They never sent us written notice to come get it or else or anything..just said it was fine being stored there. We have a new baby and cannot afford to but another tractor. What can I do and what price is fair to ask court for?

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:
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:
What is a reasonable price for a full yard grass cut?
It is my first time providing lawn care service. Although i have been cutting grass for about 4 years now.
it is just me with a lawn tractor, weed wacker, leaf blower, edger, ect. The price of gas (if it is a contributing factor) is about 2.60 for a gallon of middle grade (what i use). and it is just for my neighbourhood.

• ANSWER:
  Really depends how large the yard is. And what all services you're doing. Not everything needs to be done every time. But a straight cut, on a 5000 sq ft lawn, I'd think would be worth a minimum of in my neighborhood.

  Maybe ask for -25, and see if they go for it. If you get popular, you can start raising your prices as demand increases. And of course, a larger yard I'd charge more for.

QUESTION:
Where can I find a Kubota Tractor Front End Loader Replacement Bucket?
A friend of ours has recently bent his Front End loader bucket on his Kubota tractor. I'm talking about the think in the front of the tractor that picks up dirt from a pile and moves it, basically.

I have searched and searched and cannot find a replacement bucket for it. Where can we buy one (new or used)? Does it have to be a Kubota? Also, what is the price range that he should expect to pay??
thing, not think.

Thank you so much for your help!

• ANSWER:
  Have a welding/Fabrication shop look at it. I have repaired quite a few loader and back hoe buckets in my time. But if it is not worth it buy a loader bucket the size you want and have a fabrication shop make some mounting hardware.. If the bucket is a quick attach type a lot of skid steer buckets will work with no or very little alteration to the mounting hardware.. Case in point a kubota and a New Holland is almost the same except the lower holes need enlarging about a 1/2". That's if it has a quick attach mounting plate..

QUESTION:
Which tractor/lawnmower is better: Craftsman YT4500 (26HP, 54 inch) or John Deere D140 (22HP, 48 inch)?
Both tractors are sold for the same price. Craftsman has a Briggs & Stratton engine, and John Deere uses its own John Deere engine in its models. I have 1.75 acres of land.

• ANSWER:
  I would trust the Deere more than the Craftsman. The last Craftsman tractor I purchased was about 9 years ago, however I was very disappointed in the quality and sturdiness.

  Get yourself a 22" non-propelled mower with large rear wheels and a good motor (under 0) and push mow it for awhile. Listen to books on tape while you're doing it and it will take you about 5 hrs a week and be great exercise. I did that for 2 years on my 1.8 acre lot and loved it. Otherwise get a zero-turn for around k or wait a year and pay somebody to to it until the Z-turns drop to around k. They use about half the gas for the same work, run faster, and usually are more durable for mowing if that's all you're doing. I loved mine until I traded it to a local landscaper for 3 year contract on free mowing ( I traded it in because I wasn't getting any exercise and it was taking up almost an entire bay in my garage).

QUESTION:
How much is a fair price for this mower?
I have a used Dixon ZTR zero turn that I no longer need, as we have moved to a property with a smaller yard. It's in good shape, runs like top, has a 12hp Briggs & Stratton, 30" deck and will cut an acre of grass faster than a 46" cut lawn tractor. I'm thinking of asking 0, as they are over 00 new. ringeyedappy@yahoo.com

• ANSWER:
  A used mower like that should fetch you 70 dollars.

  Not a big market out there for used mowers.

QUESTION:
I'm curious about fuel costs for American farmers?
I live near several larger cities, so farming news is pretty much overlooked by the local news sources. But with so much concern about fuel prices, I wonder what sort of prices a farmer is facing. I know that the miles per gallon is not very good for tractors, probably because of what they are made to do; pull heavy things and work in dirt. How much fuel does an average sized tractor use to work a 100 acre field? Let's say that this field has been plowed up the year before, the fuel used in an unplowed up field has to be an alarming amount!

• ANSWER:
  While I have no idea at all how much it takes for a 100 acre field I do know that farmers lock in prices for diesel and gas. This summer when gas hit 4.16 in SD the farmer had locked in price at 2.50 and could use an unlimited amount of fuel until the contract expired.

QUESTION:
Gasoline prices and "road taxes"....rural USA?
What do you all think of this.......supposably, part of the huge amount of tax we are paying for each gallon of fuel is for road tax........now some of us live in rural area's and have large lawns and so forth so this means we are paying "road tax" on fuel for our lawnmower, weedeater, blower, tractor, atv...etc...etc.... which do not use roads! What do you all think of this!?! Another fat pocket somewhere huh!

• ANSWER:
  ^ yeah like im going to drive me lawnmower or tractor to a gas station 3 milies away. the tanker would pay its road tax when it fills up on gasoline.

QUESTION:
What do you think of Violent Mexican drug gang taking control of migrant smuggling?
ARRIAGA, Mexico -- One of Mexico's most powerful criminal gangs has muscled into the migrant-smuggling racket, changing what had been a relatively benign if risky industry of independent operators into a centralized business that often has deadly consequences for those who try to operate outside it.

Los Zetas, who earned a reputation for brutality by gunning down thousands of Mexicans in the battle for drug-smuggling routes to the United States, now control much of the illicit trade of moving migrant workers toward the U.S. border, experts in the trade say.

They've brought logistical know-how, using tractor-trailer trucks to carry ever larger loads of people and charging higher prices, as much as ,000 per head for migrants from Asia and Africa who seek to get to the United States.

They've also brought an unprecedented level of intimidation and violence to the trade. Los Zetas or their allies often kidnap and hold for ransom poor migrants who try to operate outside the system. If relatives don't wire payment, the migrants sometimes are executed and dumped in mass graves or press-ganged into jobs with the criminal group.

Nearly a year ago, Zetas gunmen were implicated in the slaughter of 72 migrants at a ranch near San Fernando in Tamaulipas state, barely an hour and a half drive from Brownsville, Texas.

Other mass graves discovered in northern Mexico also may be the work of Los Zetas pushing to control smuggling to the United States.

Alejandro Solalinde, an activist Roman Catholic priest who runs a migrant shelter in the town of Ixtepec, in Mexico's Oaxaca state, said Los Zetas had been merciless with migrants.

"Los Zetas control the trafficking of persons," he said. "They are crueler and kill more easily. ... They are voracious. They ask for more and more and more money."

Even with an apparent drop in the numbers of migrants moving through Mexico, people smuggling is a huge business.

QUESTION:
where can i buy red diesel around Dallas, TX?
im looking for some red diesel for my tractor. im currently using regular diesel but the price is different. Where can i buy red diesel around dallas, TX??

• ANSWER:
  The agricultural "red" diesel is just exempt from road taxes as it's intended use is on the farm and not on the roads however if you are using regular diesel which has road taxes built into the price, you can still deduct those taxes from your income taxes, just keep track of your mileage and keep receipts for your fuel. An easy way to do this would be to use one of those USB GPS key fobs to prove that you're not using the diesel on the road.

QUESTION:
3 point hitch, plows, disc, and tires for small lawn and garden tractors?
I have 20 acres of land behind my house I can use for gardening and small livestock, such as chickens and rabbits. I am a welder by trade and I want to build a 3 point hitch for a 12 HP lawn mower to plow a large garden. I can do the fabracation but I would like to buy the plows and the disc and build the racks for them.
Does any one know where I could buy them and what size I should get?
The mower has 18" x 9.5" on 8" rims. I have enough room to put tires on it up to 24" X whatever, and I can cut the hub off the ones I have now and fab up hubs to fit the axles. Any ideas on where to get the tractor lugged type tires at a good price.
I am disabled and the check is very big so I need the cheapest things I can find that will work.
Hope some one out there can lead me in the rigth direction.
Thanks for the help.
I thank you all for your answers, but it doesn't seem anyone understood the question.
I understand the chance of tranny failure. I am or was a small engine mechanic for several years. I also know how to not punish it too much. I may plow only an inch per pass until I get what I want, and even if I do break it, I only paid 0 for it to start with and can replace it with a a used 18 HP lawn and garden for 0.00.
I admit that a tiller will do a lot better job than a disc, after it has been plowed and I very well may build me an attachment to hook a tiller up to the mower if the disc doesn't work, but I have used disc on a larger tractor in the past, after it was turned and it did well.
As far as the amount of land I want to work, last years garden was about twice the size of the first years. The only thing that slowed me up was being able to till as much as I wanted to.
I need to know where to get what I need at the best price I can get it at.
Thanks for the replies.

• ANSWER:
  There should be some old farms around. They should have some of those old 2 and 3 bottom plows you can pick up cheap. I know we have 4 of the old ones on the farm here. Some PTO and some not.

QUESTION:
What do you people think of this New Holland Tractor for Commercial Mowing?
Hey guy's i was thinking of buying a New Holland Tractor. It looks very nice and the guy wants to negotiate a price. It has 250 Hours on it. It has a 60" Cutting Deck, 25hp, Diesel and it is a 4x4. Anyway i was mostly going to use it to mow a few yards here and there. Also in the winter add a Snow Blower attachment. Anyway the guy want's ,000-,500. He obviously cleaned it up but it looks to be in very good condition. Useing this Utility Tractor as a Commercial Mower will it do a good job on peoples yards? I mean i'm going to get a good fine cut just like any Zero Turn Mower or Riding Mower right?
The Model number is TZ25DA.

• ANSWER:
  You don't give a model so I am going to answer based on the New Holland Boomer series, using Model 1025 (a 26 HP mid-deck mower). If this is correct the mower should give an adequate, although somewhat rough, finished cut. I think the price is too high but I haven't seen the machine. Examine it well before making a commitment; sometimes you can find good used equipment at auctions for better prices.

  Good luck and enjoy!

  EDIT: With those hours for that model the price is fair, maybe even better than fair. The cut will probably not match your ZTR mower but it will be a good finish. Unless the machine has been abused it should be worth the money asked.

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.

QUESTION:
Does anyone support E-85 corn based ethanol? I believe its a waste of time, money, and resources.?
Does anyone have any arguments of evidence to suggest persuade me? Here is my opinion that I posted earlier to someones question. Prove me wrong.
E-85 is not an answer to Global Warming.
I live in the upper midwest and don't know of anyone who actually uses E-85 in their cars, and we have almost 6 ethanol plants in the 150 mile area. On average E-85 is 25 cents cheaper per gallon, but since the fuel burns at a faster rate your still better off buying regular gasoline. So really it is quite ineffecient. Also, if your car is a few years new you can run E-85 safely. But for those of us who don't, if you run E-85 in your car and the motor burns out or corrodes from using E-85 the manufacturer will NOT cover your warranty.
Also, corn based E-85 plants still use fossil fuels to refine E-85 which still must be sent to the oil refinerys to be mixed. The owners and investors of E-85 don't like to admit to this. But I do understand the Sugar cane based e-85 plants in Brasil do run off of the product they make. But sadly the corn based plants in the U.S. do not, so it is not a clean eco friendly product if you still use energy from coal buring plants.
Oh yeah don't forget about the hundreds of gallons water that gets used up to make one frickin gallon of E-85.
No matter what they say it is not renewable. This product would be renewable if the farmer planting the corn used E-85 in his tractor and used it in all of his farming equipment. And then if all the truckers used E-85 to ship and transfer E-85. And if the Ethanol Plant refinerey was running off of E-85. Then your might have something to talk about.
Also, making car fuel out of food that could be used instead to feed millions of people around the world is a stupid, stupid idea.
You must also remember the direct corelation of rising feed costs for agriculture with the farmers. Which therefore has had a tremendous influence of rising food costs at grocery stores. Because most farmers are getting more money to deliver thier corn crop to the E-85 plants instead of Food companies.
Look we are getting duped. The E-85 plants and some politicians cannot prove these facts wrong. When challenged you will see alot of questin begging, misuse of statistics, and suppressed evidence. That is if they even answer the question.
This crap was invented to make money for people who already had plenty of it. Also an excuse for some agriculture companies and grocery stores to raise prices.
I am very sure that many politicians and owners of E-85 plants Did tote E-85 as a product to fight Global Warming. When it first came out E-85 was labeled as such. I could dig up many advertisements and newpaper articles of it being poromoted to fight Global Warming.
I think what I should have said was Corn based E-85 good ofr anything?
If it worked at all? Then why does each ethanol plant recieve millions of dollars in Federal Aid to stay open?
Thanks to everyone contributing to my question. We must spread the word why corn based E-85 sucks.

• ANSWER:
  Nobody but farmers, corporate farms especially, and the politicians to whom they make contributions. Corn is one of the worst sources of ethanol, requiring as much energy to produce as the ethanol delivers in many cases and requiring good farmland. It's particularly stupid given how many superior sources we have available. Here's a rundown of the numbers.

  Corn 370 gallons of ethanol per acre of farmland
  Sugar cane 890 gallons per acre of farmland
  Switchgrass 1,998 gallons per acre of land that the USDA currently pays farmers not to use
  Algae 6,000 gallons per acre of land anywhere you can put in a tank, provided it gets plenty of sunlight and doesn't get too cold, so unused deserts are viable.

  Put another way, corn returns 25% more energy than it takes to produce the ethanol and it requires a lot of fossil fuels. Usually it's far less efficient that this and you don't even break even. With switchgrass you get back 540% of the energy you put into producing the ethanol and you don't tie up valuable farmland, the root system is permanent so you just cut down the grass for processing and the roots themselves tie up CO2.

  Unless Obama acts unilaterally or gets Congress to go alone, we're likely stuck with corn ethanol since they have a strong lobby and the other options do not. The good news is that at least the USDA and DOE are continuing to set up test plots for switchgrass and private industry is pursuing algae so it may be possible provided the government doesn't actively interfere with other sources.

QUESTION:
Gas prices outlook what is the short and long?
Do you think gas is going up or down.

Here is my thought.

I see more people using their SUV and larger trucks lately. If you read about the reason why oil went up so high it is because of all the misuse of oil.

Bigger better faster was what everyone was trying to achieve. Glutenous misuse of a precious resource has caused the problem.
Here are some things we can do to hedge the problem.
Use less oil. Here is how.
If your house is heated by oil change it to natural gas as soon as it is available in your area,

Stop using the drive thru. Get out and go in and wait in line. Don't be so lazy sitting in your car burning a depleting resource.

Car pool or use public transportation.

Purchase a smaller car. Buy what you need not what you want. Stop following the "trend" of other people and be an example.

Purchase a hybrid car cor commuting if you cant use public transportation.

Even though the hybrid has a high global footprint because of battery waste. They do use less fuel and in the short run they can buy time to make CNG a better option or hydrogen.

We will always need oil for lubrication, grease, tractors, cranes, temporary generators, ATV use, and many other things you may think of.
what is your thought?

• ANSWER:
  Simple answer to your complex question - The mankind will have to learn to use alternate fuels and resources of energy like Solar and thermal. If not... the gas prices will continue to soar.... and a day will come, there might not be single human being left to buy the oil - environmental degradation would have wiped out the whole planet.

QUESTION:
I signed the papers, what should I do?
I bought a tractor using a lease and the broker told me that the money I paid upfront was going towards the purchase price thus reducing the principal and instead it just paid the "first month payment" of ,000. There are still 38 payments @ 12.5% remaining of 75.55 on a ,000 purchase. I would have used other options had I known this was how my money was going to be wasted. What do you do when a broker lies to you? What can I do to get my ,000 back?

• ANSWER:
  This is the REAL ESTATE section.

  How were you lied to and how was the money "wasted"?

  Based on the information you gave here, I'd guess that the purchase price was around ,000 total. Therefore, you >did< buy down the principal. 00 for 38 months at 12.5% is about right for a ,000 loan. An ,000 loan would be closer to 00/month.

  If you are saying that the total sales price was ,000 and the ,000 isn't showing up anywhere, then you have a real concern.

QUESTION:
Are people that are against drilling and against building refineries hypocrites?
I have studied peak oil for about 5 years now and yes I understand the low hanging fruit is gone. I understand the price of oil will continue to rise. I understand and fully agree with finding and using viable alternative energy. The reality is that the entire infrastructure of our country is based on petroleum & petroleum products. Until we can support viable alternative energy, the reality is that we still need oil and for more than just the gas that goes into our cars - it is a matter of survival. Look at the food supply alone from the ground to your table is fully dependant on petroleum products - pesticides, herbicides, packaging, the asphalt that the trucks and our cars drive on to transport it to our stores and homes and the diesel fuel and gasoline -AND- on things powered by our current infrastructure - irrigation, conveyor belts, tractor trailers, plowing/sowing/harvesting equipment, lighting and electricity for preparation plants ... can we rule drilling out just yet?
To answer your question "How would disagreeing with drilling and building refineries make anyone a hypocrite?" It's simple, do you ever eat food from a store? If the answer is yes and you are against drilling then you are a hypocrite. You want to have your cake and eat it too.
A drop in the bucket is better than an empty bucket. A day will come when people will be begging for a drop in the bucket if we don't fix the problem. I think it will be easier for us to research and develop alternative energy sources if we do so while securing as many energy options as possible.

• ANSWER:
  Well stated.

  As you point out, even if everyone in this nation committed to be green tomorrow (which won't happen), you will still need a period of transition before the alternatives can go online. You will need a larger period of time to develop new alternatives and then put those online as well.

  In the meantime, the only logical solution is to make our current fuel as available as possible, whether that means by lowering our demand through conservation or increasing our supply.

  EDIT: While I agree with Tha Dude's statement that basically says, "If there is a limited resource, we should use someone else's first before we use our own", I think the time has come to tap into our own. Our current dependence has made us too vulnerable already.

I will be set up at a local tractor & engine show this weekend selling them and was just wanting to know if people are still buying them. Last year I was extremely busy at every craft show I sold them at..I see they still have them in the malls and Claires..I have lower prices than they do (& the same brands) so hopefully they will sell.

• ANSWER:
  I love Italian charms!
  I think they would still sell, especially if you have them at lower prices. I just bought my daughter a bunch of them when we went to Disneyland earlier this year. She loves them and asks me to find more for her.
  Good luck

QUESTION:
Push reel mower ease of use vs gas mower?
I am looking at buying a push reel mower instead of gas/electric.

Our lawn is .71 of an acre. Would it be insanely hard to cut a yard that big with a push reel mower? There is only difference in the price between the gas and push mowers, so price isn't the issue.

ALSO on that note about mowers. We bought a 0 used riding lawn tractor from our neighbor that he had fixed up and used for a year On the first cut, a belt on the mowing deck broke. My hubby keeps buying new belts to hopefully fix it, but they keep breaking too. So, we have a [FAQ-QUESTION] lawn tractor that hubby refuses to talk to the neighbor about- he doesn't want any hard feelings, he says. I'm mad and either want our $ back or him to fix it. Our lawn is a mess, hubby won't buy a new mower, and I have been paying someone to cut our lawn. What should we do about it?

• ANSWER:
  You must be joking, cut over two thirds of an acre of lawn with a push mower, are you the Olympic shot putt Champion ?. Right, forget the push mower, that leaves two options. I. repair the sit on mower or 2. purchase a petrol mower. I think you would get your sit on repaired for much less than the cost of a new mower. Find out your dealers, it doesn't have to be the same maker. Get it in for repair and service. It will be like new when you get it back.......problem solved. By the way, your hubby sounds a bit like me.

QUESTION:
What's the first holiday you remember?
Mine was camping when I was 3. I remember the cows going past the tent in the morning, being frightened by a tractor, and going to sleep one night with my clothes on. We got up and went home while it was still dark, and I found out years later that we had done a bunk before the farmer had come round for his money, as he asked an exhorbitant price for using his field!
Fireball 226, it's what we brits mean by vacation . There is some really wonderful answers here, it's really difficult to pick one!

• ANSWER:
  A holiday in Mablethorpe when I was 6, we stayed in a brand new caravan called an 'American Holiday Home' I can remember been fascinated because the double bed pulled down from the wall and there was a shower cubical too, never been in a shower cubical before then and thought it was amazing, the beach was massive with dunes and we all wanted to go to the fairground but were told we had to wait till the end of the week for that, I saw these coloured things a lot further on the beach so we all decided to go for a walk to see what they were, they were huge oil drums painted different colours for use of target practise by the American air-force and we almost got shot to pieces and told off big time by some huge American guys, they took us back to our mom who gave us all a good hiding for wandering off on our own and nearly getting killed, we thought it was the best adventure we had ever been on and it wasn't until years later that we realised how lucky we were not to have been killed, but a great holiday with lots of good memories.

QUESTION:
Satellite Radio: What would be best for a Tractor-Trailer?
My father is out on the road again and just felt his brain cells die listening to Bible-Thumper Radio in the South where they're going on and on about "The Homosexual Agenda" and how the Anti-Bully laws are nothing but a way to shoehorn acceptance of "Queers" into schools to destroy the souls of good, god fearing christian children. Then they got in to how the Emergency Government Funding is nothing but a means of promoting abortions...

I swear I'm not kidding. My father had to stop and call me he was so shocked by the conspiracy nutters that were the standard broadcast radio in Texas.

So I'm trying to find a Satellite Radio Package for him but I'm seeing receivers priced from .00 to 0.00 and I'm wondering what the difference is between the different "Car" Kits.

QUESTION:
Is the real cause of rising gas prices the need to generate revenue because taxes on the wealthy are reduced .
Truth is till you create something you can not tax it .
That means a man with a shovel digging a ditch putting in new sewer or gas lines produces something of value . That a farmer who plants crops in an effort to feed people also adds something to the community.

That those men and women making parts for tractors to till the soil and get us to work and home each day working in factories provide the means to all of our survival .

Its those people who make the tools we use to transport food and harvest it and bring it to local markets that make our nation great .

For to long we have taxed these most valuable people and taken from their income and property -- taxes . We have charged them interest and those who pass the laws and charge the interest have grown fatter while those who produce the very goods we need to survive have paid all the costs .

When will we wake up and see the real enemy that dwells among us .

Disproportional wages and taxes are bringing us down .

• ANSWER:
  Um, good try, but in fact, in statistical fact, no. In fact, many of those you allude to pay no taxes at all. I'm not going to go to the trouble of providing you with the link because the reality is well known, even if it is ignored by folks like you. Those 'wealthy' who are getting such a break on taxes finance about 90 percent of our nation's operations. In fact, they are quite literally paying your ditch digger and factory worker's share...well, I imagine the union factory worker that's making 0K a year for doing a K a year job is paying taxes...is this the poor downtrodden worker you're talking about?

  Dude, you and your gang really need to get past this notion that America in the 21st century resembles Czarist Russia where the poor down trodden workers were eating rats and shoe leather to survive. America is not the fuedal state you make it out to be by any stretch. Those ditch diggers and factory workers are all doing pretty well. So, given the fact that the bourgeoisie does not have it's boot on the head of the proletariat in America, give it up comrade.

QUESTION:
The best electric fenching?
I want to put up electric fencing for my 2 horses,(ones 900-1000 lbs, and the other one is around 700 lbs) im shopping at Tractor Supply, and they have two types of fencing im looking at--
1, http://www.tractorsupply.com/fencing/electric-fencing/electric-fence-wire-poly-tapes/electric-fence-poly-tapes/high-visibility-electric-fence-tape-200-m-656-ft--3601075

2. http://www.tractorsupply.com/fencing/electric-fencing/electric-fence-wire-poly-tapes/electric-fence-poly-tapes/1-4-in-electric-rope-3600891

which of these do you think is the best, by experience, of using them, there prices and lengths.
Thanks for the help!

• ANSWER:
  I know one filly who will just slide under the tape as though it's not even there. The thing about the tape is, there is a part in the middle that is not electric, and this filly has found out how to exploit that. I've also found that the tape will tend to bend and fray more than the rope, and then it starts to look ugly. The rope seems to contain them pretty well though, but it has the downside of stretching out a bit more than the tape so you need to tighten it more often.

  The farm I work at has both, but we don't use it to contain horses, we use it to separate one big field into two smaller fields. The horses respect both very well, except that one filly who slides under the tape. She is very small though, only 11h or so (she is a welsh pony), I don't think yours could slide under it.

  I'd go with the rope though, it's easier to deal with.

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.

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:
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:
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:
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!

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:
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:
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:
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.

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. I don't have a clue once I adopt it what I would do. Basically just tell me once I got it what I would do, how to tell the sex of it, and misc. information I will need to know along the way of raising it. It will be living out side in a chicken coop, oh great the chicken coop, I don't know how to make that too. Im just overoverwhelmedlease,Please,Please help! Thanx, Jake

• 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:
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:
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:

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.

  You can find reports on www.ssrn.com

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.

Regards,
Rich Whiting

Knock- the feed/tractor trailer stores are really far unless you want to drive me there

• ANSWER:
  Yes, it is okay. Stick to a 100% pine pellet product and call/email the company before buying to ask if it is safe. Ideally look for products that say they are for animal bedding. i.e. horse bedding.

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.

I have to make a decision and I do not know what to do?
I'm disabled because of health reason's. Yet I took car of my parent's Home 3.5 acres of land and I just had my doctor to tell me that I could no longer do any more extensive lawn care because of my Asthma and allergies. I have done everything from repair floors cleaning the house spot less to running the tractor and resurfacing the gravel road and mow 2 acres of grass and getting extremly sick when the summer months hit. I have no help and I need to remove myself from this situation, but I have 2 broken vehicles and I need to sale one to repair the other I have a small savings but they expect me to spend it on their house to fix their mold problem tha is making us all voilently sick. They have a lot of money and I do not receive any hand outs from them but I think they should take car of their own house. I'm stressed to the max. I feel bad but I can not keep putting myself on the back burner. While they travel and enjpoy meals out everyday and I stay home and clean or work on their house. I just turned 47 and I use to have a life. This happened to me 10 years ago. I'm tired and I want a life again and to try to work part time and have a little rental place of my own. I know I will never own anything, but I think while I have what time on this esrth I have I should be able to have peace of mind. I pay my own bills................. Am I wrong to want to move?
When I have other siblings that can do this and are healther than I am and wealther than I am.

• ANSWER:
  You are not wrong to want to move, I was in a similar situation many years ago. I moved 3 hours away. It ended the dependency. If your siblings are not morons, talk to them and explain the situation. If they care about you and your parents they will pick up the slack. I eventually moved back, but the dependency is now at an acceptable level. We all won't to be there for our parents, it's natural. your siblings will understand......

  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:
Is this translation into (Austrian) German correct?
I am trying to translate a welcome message for a website into German (preferably Austrian German). Below is the English message with the German translation (using a translation tool).

Can anyone tell me if the translation is correct? Or can you suggest any improvements?

Thanks

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:
Will he win?
Sam, a farmer from California, needs to lift a 2500 pound generator from the floor of his barn to a hayloft 15-18ft off the floor. 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!!!
  Sam is stupid and should thank God he is still alive to whine.
  Yet another problem with America...the 'sue-happy' nation.

QUESTION:
Can he...Law suit?

• ANSWER:
  HD wins......the guy never specified what was being done on the farm....he just said "some heavy duty rope to use". He gave him heavy duty rope in the employee's opinion. Sam should have specified and then the tensilary strength of the rope could have been determined.

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:
Calculus problem with linear and quadratic equation.?
An engineer collects the following data showing the speed, s, of a Toyota Camry and its average miles per gallon, M.
Speed, sMiles per Gallon, M
3019
3521
4023
4525
5025
5529
6030
6527
7025

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:
R(p)= -0.5p^2+1900p
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:
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...

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

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.

IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE FUNNY...IT'S SO VERY SAD THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS WE ARE IN.

• ANSWER:
  Hi Mangomiata

  I need to send you my respects for the explanation you put forward.Indeed it is a shame to see the way we have been
  miss led by our leaders ,at all levels of government.
  It is mostly scary to me,to see how our tax money,is being wasted in every possible way,in foreign lands,while our citizens are begging for food under our highways bridges.
  What a shame!

  But as for me,I will keep waiting for a better government,
  (Mat 6:10) Let your kingdom come...

QUESTION:
Who agrees this is too true to be funny: that "Billion" is a funny word for politicians?
http://www.cagw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=EarmarkRequests_2008_House

LET'S VOTE OUT *EVERY* CONGRESSMAN (REPRESENTATIVE & SENATOR) EXCEPT SUPER EARMARK FIGHTER JEFF FLAKE (ARIZONA).

***
This is too true to be funny...

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.

• ANSWER:
  Awesome. You must be a tax advisor like me. Some of those taxes must be state level but most are federal. The only thing I can say is that all those taxes and the laws behind them have kept me employed for 30 years.

The question is; are these taxes really necessary?
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)

QUESTION:
Where can I find a fuel injector pump for a 3010 John Deere?
My father has looked everywhere for a fuel injector pump for his 3010 John Deere. I have looked on ebay and contacted our local tractor stores but nobody has one. If anyone knows where we can find one please let me know. It can be new, used, rebuilt, or even another part that can be interchanged.

• ANSWER:
  John Deere OEM I believe was Roosa-Master for their pumps. Try a diesel rebuild shop or injection service company in your area. Is yours missing or beyond repair, because like one other answer says, can it be rebuilt? Good luck

QUESTION:
question about Scotts lawn tractor- brakes and headlights?
i have a Scotts (made by John Deere) S1742 lawn tractor. 17hp, 42" deck, blah blah blah.... anyway, the headlights dont work anymore. i just spent for new bulbs and they worked for awile then they stopped. the original bulbs dont work either. the wires are all hooked up, so why wont they go on??
my brakes are also having a problem--they dont stop. i have to use the brake pedal like a clutch now and downshift to stop. i used to slam the brakes in the winter goin down hills and sliding (im weird like that). might that have bent somehting inside?
does anyone know were to get aftermarket parts also? looking for a snowblade w/ rear weights, new exhaust (aftermarket, rear exhaust), tranny upgrades, etc.
i dont have a headlight switch. if the wires are plugged in, then they will come on whenever the tractor is on.

• ANSWER:
  As far as the headlights go if the wires are hooked up correctly then it will have to be in the switch. Try taking the switch off and cleaning it out some times grass and dirt can get in the connection. As far as the breaks really couldn't say other then making sure the brake pedal is hooked up if it is then you should take off the back wheels and take a look.

QUESTION:
can I buy bad debt from john deere finance?
A friend bought a tractor and financed it through jonh deere in his fathers name. When his father passed away he quit paying for it. It has now been years and he has moved out of the country and wants to sell me the tractor at a fraction of its worth. He told me that John deere wrote it off as a loss? Is there a way I can buy the debt from john deere in order for me to legally own the tractor? I was told if I have the tractor and try to buy parts, they ask for the VIN. Once I use the VIN a red flag will show and the FBI will come question me and take the tractor back? I would love to buy this tractor at a bargain price but I want to own it legally, and not get involved with my friends financial mistakes. Is it possible that John Deere would make a deal and sell me the debt at a fraction of the owed debt?

QUESTION:
Which garden tractor blades do I need?
I need to replace the blades on my John Deere 135 garden tractor. It's a 42 inch cut with two blades. I can't find the original part number or the replacement part number ANYWHERE. I have the owners manual and it is weak. I would prefer to use a generic if it really doesn't matter. Thanks for any help.

• ANSWER:
  Just measure the length of it. Probably 22in blades. You don't have to have part number. But I would stick with John Deere blades. The are better than any other one's I found. Or just take em off and take with you, or just sharpen em.

QUESTION:
If you have a hurricane coming are you suspose to have your house completely sealed or have the eaves cleared?
My house has two doors facing east that has no windows (use to be a portable school building).I have thick oak trees and brush on the long side but is open on the ends.It sits on blocks and i was wanting to know if i should berm around the house to keep wind from blowing under the house? Also my john deere tractor needs wheel bearings.Do i have to buy bearings from a tractor place or can i go to a regular auto parts store.The tractor is small ,smaller than a full size car.On the house i have closed off my eaves cause i had mold growing inside and we have high humidity and i figured it be best to keep the humid air out cause i read you should seal your house like an envelope.

• ANSWER:
  If you have a hurricane approaching you need to board up the windows or use storm shutters. Secure the doors. You have a problem if your house is on concrete blocks. Storm surge could wash it off the piers or wind could cause it to shift. Once you have the home secured get the heck out of there. Property is replaceable. Life is not.

  Your attic/eave problem is another issue entirely. You need to have attic ventilation. This is achieved by a combination of soffit vents under the eaves to allow air in, and either a ridge vent, gable vents, passive turbines, or powered devices to vent the air out. Passive systems use induction to function: Hot air rises through the roof vents and is replaced by cooler air coming through the soffit vents. If you had mold in the attic, you were not getting adequate ventilation.

  I can't speak to the tractor issue. I would think you could call around and ask several shops if they can replace the bearings.

QUESTION:
cake decorating - lawnmower cutting happy bday?
I have a vision in my head for my dads bday cake - I'm just wondering if it sounds do-able.
I want a 3 tier circle cake with a medium sized 3d John deere tractor out of cake on top.
I trust my skills (mostly!) for the 3d cake, but my other vision of this cake is to decorate the entire 3 tiers to look like its covered in grass, but then I would like to write Happy Birthday on the side as if a lawnmower cut it out of the grass. And then I'm making a small John deere tractor out of rice krispy treat and using a toothpick to stick it into the side after the trail of the Y on birthday.

Obviously I'll need to use a cursive font so all the letters connect... but how would you go about making the grass and the 'cut' grass? I have a couple good decorating tips so I can do the grass, but should I write the happy birthday part first on the side using a knife somehow? And then fill everything else in with 'uncut' grass?
Or, should I decorate the whole cake with uncut grass, and take a fork and write happy birthday - sort of 'cutting' the grass with the fork?

Any suggestions?! (If any of that made sense!)

• ANSWER:
  I would decorate the cake with "uncut grass" first and then take a fork or whatever utensil you have handy and scrape the grass to make it look cut. This sounds like a cute idea and I would love to see pictures once it is done! Good luck with your cake.

QUESTION:
Accounting Problem...help?
I can not figure out Part B. can you please help me. I got the First year and I can not figure out Second Year

A John Deere tractor acquired on January 5 at a cost of ,800 has an estimated useful life of 16 years. Assume that it will have no residual value.

a. Determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method. Round to the nearest dollar.

First Year Second Year
$ 2800$ 2800

b. Determine the depreciation for each of the first two years by the declining-balance method, using twice the straight-line rate. Round to the nearest dollar.
First Year Second Year
$ 5600$ ???

• ANSWER:
  Straight line rate = 0.0625
  Declining balance = 0.0625 x 2 = 0.125 or 12.5%

  Setup a table

  Book value at I Depreciation I Depreciation I Accumulated I Book Value at
  beginning of year I rate I Expense I Depreciation I end of year
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ,800 I 12.5% I 00 I 00 I ,200
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ,200 I 12.5% I 00 I ,500 I ,300
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  and so on, but you can stop at year two.
  your answer will be ,500 (your total depreciation that has been accumulated over the first two years.

  to do this, take beginning cost multiplied by depreciation rate = depreciation expense. for the first year, the accumulated depreciation cost will be 0 + 5600 = 5600. book value at end of year = 44800 - 5600 = 39200. then start over with 39200 as beginning value multiplied by 12.5% = 4900. then add 4900 + 5600 = 10500 (your final answer), and then to complete this row of the chart take 39200 - 4900 = 34300.

  After submitting it, the table didn't turn out as planned.
  go to wikipedia.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depreciation#Declining-balance_method_.28or_Reducing_balance_method.29

  and go to section 2.2 double declining method and that is what the table looks like.

QUESTION:
need some clarification on electrical testing. continuity to ground?
i've been having some minor issues with my John deere lawn tractor that i posted a question about yesterday or so. i have a repair and service manual and have been studying and learning the electrical aspects of the mower. i've learned a lot about how it's wired, what goes where, etc. i'm gonna have to start testing wires and connections to get down to the bottom of what's going on.
Now what the question is....
a lot of the tests are testing continuity to ground. lets say for instance; check 945 white wire for continuity to ground.
what "exactly" is the ground part of it. are they referring to the negative post of the battery, the shielded ground or what.
This whole ordeal has turned into the more i know, the less i understand. I have a continuity tester.
I also have a multimeter, and if i'm correct can use the ohms setting to test for the resistance, which is also sort of like continuity???? just a little confused
if you can help me at all, it would

• ANSWER:
  Hi Michael.

  I have been designing the electrical circuits for Briggs and Stratton for 50 years, so I understand your problem.

  Ground is either -ve (negative) battery post, or the chassis of the mower to which the -ve battery post is bolted to via a 16mm black cable. Basically, the whole machine is the -ve battery return or ground.

  Any cable (or wire) that reefers to ground should be 0-Ohms at either end (short circuit). If not then an open circuit means that the equipment will not function as the circuit is 'open'. This condition is unlikely to occur as most equipment on your mower is grounded to the battery via the mower's body (chassis). The only circuit not grounded directly (it is grounded indirectly via a cable) to the body is the lights; where a cable will feed (12 +ve) the each light (in parallel) and the earth (ground) wire will run back to be bolted to a main earth bolt located somewhere on the chassis. It does not matter where on the chassis this earth bolt is situated. As long as the bolt and nut are clean and the hole around the bolt is bright to the metal giving a good cable (wire) to ground contact, than all is well. A light smear of petroleum jelly is good here, as too, on the battery terminals.

  Most problems arise from vibration. An insulated wire will often weaken through flexing and break, making an open circuit and power to that circuit will be lost. Test for continuity (0-Ohms) at either end of any wire and replace or repair as required.

  Often the wire feed from the ignition switch to the solenoid will break inside the insulation and cannot be seen with the naked eye.

  The starter motor will often run on 9 Volts with a resistor in series (depending on model) so that the voltage drop on the battery will turn the starter. Test with the low Ohms setting 0-200 ohm range.
  Open circuit will show up as infinite resistance. A short will show up as 0-Ohms (zero) and the correct resistance (all being well with the internal resistivity) about 10 Ohms).

  You starter motor is a different matter, as you will not have the best type of meter to test the circuit.
  Either you put 12 Volts directory to the starter germinal and the stater functions correctly or it will not function at all.

  Often the ignition switch becomes faulty and in need of replacement; they are cheap enough.

  The small black ground wires running closely round the engine might need some inspection for open circuits here, as they can be damaged, so check for continuity on these, too. The ignition switch offers a ground to these to stop the engine. Often as not these wires get their insulation damaged and ground themselves on the engine housing. they should only be grounded when the ignition switch is in the OFF position.

#19: I wish I had a time machine
#20: I wish I could go to the circus

I have always wanted wishes 1-4 since i was young, and I amwant them more than ever right now, and I have always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon ever since I first saw a toy balloon, and I think a tractor/bulldozer would be a cool vehicle to travel from home to school in, and I could laugh at those kids that ride busses, or ride in cars. I wish I had 100 ponies to love, keep and call george numbers 1 through 100. I also wish i had a pet rabbit as my parents would never let me have one, and consider it an expense to feed. I also saw that other girls have poodles as fashion accessories, and keep dumping them off as the trends change and getting new ones, and I don't even have one poodle. I also sometimes make the bus trip to a neighboring town, and an F-6 tomcat would make that trip a lot quicker.

I have bought a flute with what little money I had, and I didn't make the cut for the band, as I couldn't even make the flute make a sound. I wish I could somehow get a flute that would magically work and get me into the band. In have never been asked to the school dance, and probably would have if i was able to get in the band, or get that part in the school play. Since I have not gotten either I am a nobody compared to the other girls who have gotten in the play, and the band. I have tried auditioning for plays, and just got turned down, and called the worst actress ever, as I just get the script, and toss it aside, and read my sides on audition day. I finally wish I had a time machine, as it would be something no one else had, and I want to go to the circus but it never comes to town.

How could I get these wishes to come true? Could I have an itemized list please?

• ANSWER:
  Not all of it could come true, sorry. But you do have some things you can make true.

  1= You can play the flute, just get some lessons or books that will help you, and you will be better at it in no time. I played in the orchestra and i still do but I SUCKED when i began and messed up on everything. But as i practiced i played better and was faster. So you should practice a little more. 2=1000 ponies cant become true. Its possible, but think about what would happen if they had no space or little food to feed all like you can feed 800 but not the other 200.
  3= To get A/B grades is good. All you have to do is take notes in class or remember what the teachers said until the test or quiz ends. After that you dont have to remember it anymore but its best if you did.
  4= To get a part in the school play, show them that you can be in it and do a good job. At my school my teachers would have to spend hours or days to find a script or make their own. So just begin in plays that doesn't have many requirements that you need and as you start to get better, get into some more difficult or better plays.
  5= The circus is pretty much not possible unless you move to a place where theres a circuit.

  All of the other stuff aren't possible. Some of them are possible if you have tons of money but some of them aren't possible like no one invented time machines yet

• ANSWER:
  1- 4. Drive there? If you don't have a car now beg your parents to take you.
  5. There are lots of hot air baloon businesses that will let you ride in one. Look online for ones in your area.
  6. Well you can buy one when you have the money but you probably won't have enough till you're out of school so you can't ride past the other kids. Tractors can't really go as fast as cars anyway so you couldn't laugh at the kids on the bus anyway.
  7. Also slower than a car, way slower, so good luck on getting it to school.
  8. Do you want 100 or 1000? Get your story straight. Anyway you'd have to be rich to buy them all and get people to take care of them and buy a farm or board them.
  Yeah that's right I can answer all three of your questions with the same answer cause they're all the same.
  9. Um I thought you had a rabbit and it died and came back to life. lol your other questions
  10. Well you could always buy one but I don't think your parents will let you have it if they won't let you have a rabbit. Plus you should prob want it for more than a fashion accessory.
  11. Um yeah you would have to buy that too good luck with that.
  12. Take lessons
  13. After you take the music lessons and know how to play the flute then you can be in band.
  14. Well I'm sure there's someone who will take you even if you aren't in the play or band otherwise just go alone who cares.
  15. Haha that's no easy one don't ask me
  16. again, buy it good luck with that too
  17. Try really hard in calss and get all your homework done and/or get a tutor, but actually ask a teacher or other adult for help instead of a tutor cause you don't have to pay
  18. Well you say you don't practice your script um it would probably help if you did.
  19. No such thing yet.
  20. Just go to the circus in some other town.

QUESTION:
how could I make these wishes come true?
I am in 8th grade and I have always wanted to make these wishes come true

#1: I wish I could go to Kansas
#2: I wish I could go to Iowa
#3: I wish I could go to Nebraska
#4: I wish I could go to Texas
#5: I wish I could fly in a hot air balloon
#6: I wish I had a John Deere Z-Trak Estate Series Tractor
#7: I wish I had a Bulldozer
#8: I wish I had 1000 ponies
#9: I wish I had a rabbit
#10: I wish I had a poodle to use as a fashion accessory
#11: I wish I had a private jet (an F-16 Tomcat)
#12: I wish I could play the flute
#13: I wish I could be in the band
#14: I wish I had a date to the upcoming school dance
#15: I wish I was more popular at school
#16: I wish I had a real NASCAR
#17: I wish I could have all A/B grades
#18: I wish I could get a part in the school play
#19: I wish I had a time machine
#20: I wish I could go to the circus

I have always wanted wishes 1-4 since i was young, and I amwant them more than ever right now, and I have always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon ever since I first saw a toy balloon, and I think a tractor/bulldozer would be a cool vehicle to travel from home to school in, and I could laugh at those kids that ride busses, or ride in cars. I wish I had 100 ponies to love, keep and call george numbers 1 through 100. I also wish i had a pet rabbit as my parents would never let me have one, and consider it an expense to feed. I also saw that other girls have poodles as fashion accessories, and keep dumping them off as the trends change and getting new ones, and I don't even have one poodle. I also sometimes make the bus trip to a neighboring town, and an F-6 tomcat would make that trip a lot quicker.

I have bought a flute with what little money I had, and I didn't make the cut for the band, as I couldn't even make the flute make a sound. I wish I could somehow get a flute that would magically work and get me into the band. In have never been asked to the school dance, and probably would have if i was able to get in the band, or get that part in the school play. Since I have not gotten either I am a nobody compared to the other girls who have gotten in the play, and the band. I have tried auditioning for plays, and just got turned down, and called the worst actress ever, as I just get the script, and toss it aside, and read my sides on audition day. I finally wish I had a time machine, as it would be something no one else had, and I want to go to the circus but it never comes to town.

How could I get these wishes to come true? Could I have an itemized list please?

• ANSWER:
  1- 4. Drive there? If you don't have a car now beg your parents to take you.
  5. There are lots of hot air baloon businesses that will let you ride in one. Look online for ones in your area.
  6. Well you can buy one when you have the money but you probably won't have enough till you're out of school so you can't ride past the other kids. Tractors can't really go as fast as cars anyway so you couldn't laugh at the kids on the bus anyway.
  7. Also slower than a car, way slower, so good luck on getting it to school.
  8. Do you want 100 or 1000? Get your story straight. Anyway you'd have to be rich to buy them all and get people to take care of them and buy a farm or board them.
  9. Um I thought you had a rabbit and it died and came back to life. lol your other questions
  10. Well you could always buy one but I don't think your parents will let you have it if they won't let you have a rabbit. Plus you should prob want it for more than a fashion accessory.
  11. Um yeah you would have to buy that too good luck with that.
  12. Take lessons
  13. After you take the music lessons and know how to play the flute then you can be in band.
  14. Well I'm sure there's someone who will take you even if you aren't in the play or band otherwise just go alone who cares.
  15. Haha that's no easy one don't ask me
  16. again, buy it good luck with that too
  17. Try really hard in calss and get all your homework done and/or get a tutor, but actually ask a teacher or other adult for help instead of a tutor cause you don't have to pay
  18. Well you say you don't practice your script um it would probably help if you did.
  19. No such thing yet.
  20. Just go to the circus in some other town. . .

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:
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.

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:
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:
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.

  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:
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.

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!

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:
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,.

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

how much would you pay for her?

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:
Will he win?
Sam, a farmer from California, needs to lift a 2500 pound generator from the floor of his barn to a hayloft 15-18ft off the floor. 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!!!
  Sam is stupid and should thank God he is still alive to whine.
  Yet another problem with America...the 'sue-happy' nation.

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.

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. I don't have a clue once I adopt it what I would do. Basically just tell me once I got it what I would do, how to tell the sex of it, and misc. information I will need to know along the way of raising it. It will be living out side in a chicken coop, oh great the chicken coop, I don't know how to make that too. Im just overoverwhelmedlease,Please,Please help! Thanx, Jake

• 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!!

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.

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.

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.

________________________________________ I agree with both Marty and
Gunter in the very important issue of standardizing data formatting.
I
would point out that lobbying ISAC is only, however, part of the
answer. Regardless of what ISAC may choose to recommend, it is still
up to the manufacturers to implement what they want to do, and if
they
do not agree with ISAC, then too bad for ISAC and the flow community.
A potentially more powerful force for change might be the FDA, which
regulates machines used in CLINICAL settings.

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:
http://tractorsupply.shoplocal.com/index.aspx?pagename=moreinfo&circularid=15368&pagenumber=1&uniqueid=18056890&dssid=bb342090-a5db-49b1-9738-22f4ccd1ee16
Thanks!

• ANSWER:
  I use equine pine in my cat boxes and in my ferret litter boxes. I think it is great! and I buy it from tractor supply also!

QUESTION:
Calculus problem with linear and quadratic equation.?
An engineer collects the following data showing the speed, s, of a Toyota Camry and its average miles per gallon, M.
Speed, sMiles per Gallon, M
3019
3521
4023
4525
5025
5529
6030
6527
7025

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:
R(p)= -0.5p^2+1900p
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

  ========

  please e-mail me if u have a question.

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.

Knock- the feed/tractor trailer stores are really far unless you want to drive me there

• ANSWER:
  Yes, it is okay. Stick to a 100% pine pellet product and call/email the company before buying to ask if it is safe. Ideally look for products that say they are for animal bedding. i.e. horse bedding.

  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:
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.

QUESTION:

• ANSWER:
  Sounds like buyer protection just like Paypal.
  However, get it in writing, take lot of pictures of the tractor so you have proof that there was either somthing wrong OR not if you where to return it.

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.

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?

QUESTION:
I have to make a decision and I do not know what to do?
I'm disabled because of health reason's. Yet I took car of my parent's Home 3.5 acres of land and I just had my doctor to tell me that I could no longer do any more extensive lawn care because of my Asthma and allergies. I have done everything from repair floors cleaning the house spot less to running the tractor and resurfacing the gravel road and mow 2 acres of grass and getting extremly sick when the summer months hit. I have no help and I need to remove myself from this situation, but I have 2 broken vehicles and I need to sale one to repair the other I have a small savings but they expect me to spend it on their house to fix their mold problem tha is making us all voilently sick. They have a lot of money and I do not receive any hand outs from them but I think they should take car of their own house. I'm stressed to the max. I feel bad but I can not keep putting myself on the back burner. While they travel and enjpoy meals out everyday and I stay home and clean or work on their house. I just turned 47 and I use to have a life. This happened to me 10 years ago. I'm tired and I want a life again and to try to work part time and have a little rental place of my own. I know I will never own anything, but I think while I have what time on this esrth I have I should be able to have peace of mind. I pay my own bills................. Am I wrong to want to move?
When I have other siblings that can do this and are healther than I am and wealther than I am.

• ANSWER:
  You are not wrong to want to move, I was in a similar situation many years ago. I moved 3 hours away. It ended the dependency. If your siblings are not morons, talk to them and explain the situation. If they care about you and your parents they will pick up the slack. I eventually moved back, but the dependency is now at an acceptable level. We all won't to be there for our parents, it's natural. your siblings will understand......

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:
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)

QUESTION:
What are farm tractors used for?
What do farmers use farm tractors for? Like, mowing grass, making hay or what?

I'm supposed to make an ad for a tractor company and I'm not sure about how to advertise it well. What are the features of a good tractor?

• ANSWER:
  My family has owned tractors for as long as I can remember. The tractor is the lifeblood of the farm. You can't run a farm without one. The tractor itself is basically just a powerful vehicle. However, if your tractor has a 3 point hitch, you can attach all sorts of glorious implements to accomplish various tasks on the farm.

  Attach the disk to break up the ground in order to plant crops. The attachment called the "section harrow" will till the ground in a different manner than the disk, and as the name implies, "sections" the dirt into little rows. The "middlebuster" will dig a neat trench into the middle of a row, for row crop planting. The "bushhog" mows down brush, weeds, and overgrown fields. The "hay cutter" does just that. It cuts down grass for hay. The "hay rake" rakes the hay into even rows after it has cured in the sun. This makes it easier for the "hay baler" to come along and gather up the rows of hay, and spin them into bales and tie them up. Unfortunately, there are animal deaths on the farm, as well. How to get a 1000 lb. dead animal to the back of the property for disposal? Hook a chain to the tractor and drag the poor dead critter to its final resting place.

  As you can see, there are so many uses for a farm tractor that I could think of dozens of others.

QUESTION:
What is hydraulic oil used for in tractors?
I have to find out what hydraulic oil/fluid is used for in a tractor? anyone any simple answers that i will understand? and what will happen if there is no oil? what effect will this have on the tractor?

• ANSWER:
  ok any quality tractor built since the 60's has a dual hydrauli`c system.one system is used to lube the transmission and rear gears and pto thru shaft, the other is a pressure system with remote couplings for operating rams, and the 3 point lift and in most cases power steering and brakes.the trans sump is where the hydraulic systems oil is stored.the case 7140 holds well over 20 gallons.they will have a steel manifold that has lube lines that actually bathe gears in the oil.also the clutches are hydraulic powered.old school ran a pump on the front of the engine with a seperate resevoir,but if the had a 3 point, they generally used tractor hyd. fluid, or universal goof froof.some heavy equipment actually uses motor oil in the hyd system,like the 9960 john deere cotton picker.

I'm looking to buy a tractor. What does the "ratio" mean in the description of used tractors and what's best?
I speak of a tractor part of a tractor-trailer combo such as a peterbilt model 379-127 etc. Sample ratios are "4.10", "2.79", "3.55" etc.

QUESTION:
Give me some links to find used farm tractors tires and rims.?
i have a case 430
need help fast

• ANSWER:
  Hey, I have a really old (1960's) Case tractor too. Got a flat in the shed last winter, and i had to change the tire on it myself (yes, the big back tire). blocked the tires, used a bottle jack and floor jack, got the rim loose, took off the tire, and then let the axle down to rest on a big oak stump. rolled the tire ( like as tall as my chest) to a place where i have a ledge in my yard where i could roll it into the back of my pick up truck.

  Anyways, to answer your question, i dont have any links, but i would suggest going to a local feed store- we have a MFA here in MO that has an associated tractor/truck repair facility. I would check that out first. they might also have access to a rim or can fix the one you have. otherwise, if where you live is like where i am, drive around to farm implement dealers- used fields of rusty stuff type places and see if you can find one. GL. will edit my answer if i find links, but shipping would be crazy for something that big anyways.

QUESTION:
Are there any checklists or resources I can use to find and buy good Used John Deere Tractors?
I know what features I'm looking for, but I'm afraid I might overlook something important.

• ANSWER:
  I won't go into detail here. I'll assume you know how a tractor should run, but the 4 ESSENTIALS would be to:

  Check the engine
  Check the gears
  Check the PTO
  Check hydraulic lift

  You will absolutely need to get on and drive the tractor to see how it feels. Make sure there is no oil burning, there is no knocking, and make sure it doesn't jump out of gear. There are obviously more elements to think about, but I'd consider these four to be the primary things to look at when buying used John Deere tractors.

QUESTION:
How do I find good used hydraulic control valves for John Deere L&G tractors?
I am looking for a good used hydraulic control valve for a Model 318 lawn and garden tractor any body have any info?

• ANSWER:
  Do you have a part number? Ebay is a good place to start. If you have a P/N though you might be able to rebuild it. I work for a company that builds hydraulic equipment. JD makes most of their own valves for larger equipment but I believe they buy some of the smaller non specific ones. Seal kits and parts are usually available. and unless you get the valve cheap would be the way to go. Most are not difficult.
  Edit: Robin, he is asking about a control valve, not fittings. Rebuilt valves are used all of the time. That is a big Business ,

Two tractors are used to drag a large boulder across a field. The larger tractor exerts a force of 3200 N...?
Two tractors are used to drag a large boulder across a field. The larger tractor exerts a force of 3200 N toward [120º].The smaller tractor pulls with a force of 2500 N toward [65º]

[a] Determine the resultant force on the boulder

[b] Determine the equilibrant force

• ANSWER:
  Two tractors are used to drag a large boulder across a field. The larger tractor exerts a force of 3200 N toward [120º].The smaller tractor pulls with a force of 2500 N toward [65º]

  [a] Determine the resultant force on the boulder

  large: (3200*cos(120),3200*sin(120) = (-1600,2771)
  small: (2500*cos(65), 2500*sin(65)) = (1057,2266)
  resultant: (-1600,2771) + (1057,2266) = (-1600+1057,2771+2266) = (-543,5037)
  arctan(5037/-543) = -84 degrees (wrong quadrant!)
  correction: -84 + 180 = 96 degrees
  magnitude = sqrt(-543^2 + 5037^2) = 5066 [N]

  Answer: 5066 [N] towards 96 [degrees]

  Good luck.

QUESTION:
Were plows and tractors used in middle eastern farming?
I need this for an essayy

• ANSWER:
  (You need to specify the period of time. It's unclear how far back you want to go.)
  Since ancient times, plows were used in farming. Obviously, tractors only came into use (gradually) after the industrial revolution.
  For example, from the early 1900s in Israel, plows were used. Later, tractors were added. http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:Y2YCY17oqH0J:www.yale.edu/agrarianstudies/papers/01desertbloom.pdf+use+of+plows,+tractors+in+ancient+israeli+agriculture&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1
  This links to ancient evidence of plows in many areas, including some middle eastern lands. http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:YqA7K-BONroJ:www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/history/lecture32/lec32w.ppt+use+of+plows,+tractors+in+ancient+israeli+agriculture&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2

I am looking to purchase a used tractor trailer. I have contacted a company that sells trucks from their fleet. What questions should I ask, what should I look for, and what should I look out for? Im not experienced in this so I would appreciate any advise.

Thanks alot.

• ANSWER:
  Well, if you ask an incriminating question they're likely to lie anyway. Things you'd like to know are if it's been in any accidents, when was the last time it was serviced, what major repairs have been done on it. How old are the tires.

  You can check the carfax, I believe.

QUESTION:
when , where were Caterpillar tractors and bull dozers first used and when, where invented?
was this only after WWII? how they have increased since then and how they have provided ability to build things now more than ever?

please explain what you can.

were these manufactured in same factories as tanks were in WWII? where at mostly today?

thanks for your answers!

• ANSWER:
  The Caterpillar continuous-track system was invented by Benjamin Holt in 1904, patented in 1907 and went into full production in 1909. The name Caterpillar came from the way it was observed to move over the ground. The original name for the company was Holt Caterpillar Co. It was intended to solve the problem that wheeled agricultural tractors had moving over very soft soil. During the First World War these Holt tractors were widely used to haul artillery and other heavy loads on the battlefield. Modified armored versions were the first tanks.

QUESTION:
Do tractors have to pass an MOT if they're to be used on the public highway?
Does this include emissions?

• ANSWER:
  No, if a tractor stays within the CPH area or within 5 miles of the farm gate and is mainly used off-road it does not need a formal MOT.

  However, is still needs to be road worthy and have insurance.

  In 2005 the UK government thought about introducing an MOT for tractors but the plans were removed.

  Poor tractor maintenance falls under the remit of the Health and Safety Executive

  Tractors must comply with PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations), in it its says "equipment must be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair".

  In theory there is a scheme of roadside checks by VOSA but i've never seen one.

  You can get a free check from BAGMA ( the agri machine association ) but to be honest if you are in that group you are liekly to be a conscientious owner anyway.

  The HSE recommend annual vehicle checks and records to be kept.

Has anyone used Tractor Supply's 4health dog food?
I currently feed my dogs Nutrisource, which they do amazingly on. However, I have to drive quite a ways to get Nutrisource brand. The Tractor Supply in my town is now carrying their brand 4health dogfood. It seem comparable to the Nutrisource, however I am concerned about possible recalls, if it's made in the states, how well the food is made. Anyone use this current brand? I am trying to contact the company but haven't heard back yet. Thanks guys!

• ANSWER:
  4Health info below...along with a lot of other great food choices:

  I have researched this in depth since my poor dog died of kidney failure due to poor quality dog food!! (this is the only reason I answer these questions … to try and save a dogs life or at least to not let him/her suffer because of bad food)
  Fromm Dog Food is Great for dogs and cats …http://www.frommfamily.com/ - per 30 lb bag
  NO fillers….some good quality grains….NO corn….gluten or by-products or wheatNO BHT, BHA OR ETHOXYQUINNO artificial colors or flavors!!!
  ALL human grade food….fruits…veggies and probiotics!! WHOLE fruits and veggies!!!! Just like the kind we get at our grocery stores!MEATS ARE DEBONED BY HAND!!!! NOT BY A MACHINE
  check it out you wont regret it ! FROMM 4 STAR product line is the best!!!!!!! FROMM is a 100% holistic dog food. FROMM also has a grain-free option called surf & turf
  All meats,fish,fruits and veggies are from local vendors delivered as needed.to maintain freshness

  TOTWhttp://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/ … has a high protein content (not recommeded for non athletic dogs) Some TOTW choices have lesser amounts of protein.
  Taste of the Wild contains Ethoxyquin which is a toxic fish preservative. (TOTW says that the cooking process kills all of it but it scared me away from their product)
  around for a 30 lb bag .... its the cheapest 6 star food ..

  Remember : You get what you pay for. Keep in mind the top quality foods cost more but you feed less because there are no fillers or
  unwanted ingredients. So in the long run you will be saving money with food and vet bills because your dog/cat will be healthier.

  http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ lots of great dog food choices on this site !!(keep in mind this site rates on high protein and grain free foods)

  Here are the best of the best:Fromm, Blue Buffalo, Canidae, Halo, Holistic Blend, Newmans Own Oranics, Wellness,
  (all the above mentioned foods have " ALL LIFE STAGES" formulas)
  http://www.best-dog-food-guide.com/
  http://www.petfoodratings.net/dogs.html
  http://www.dogfoodscoop.com/

  Orijen and Welness are great but it is - for a 30 lb bag… high protein as well ..not good for non athletic dogs Orijen is WAY to high in protein for a non working/non-agility dog ..

  Fromm Is what my puppy gets it has a lower protein % and great ingredients! 5 outta 6 stars due to lower protein (but most dogs should not have high protein levels …. It makes their kidneys work overtime for no reason)
  You can get it online and if you go to the website you can find stores near you .. they wont be at walmarts and the like... they are in feed stores .. Agway..tractor supply stores etc

  IF your dog is not going to be a hard working/agility dog all this high protein can do more harm than good in the long run,,, you wont notice it now but it can take its toll on a dogs kidneys as it ages.

  http://4healthdogfood.tripod.com/ …
  there is also a brand called 4health at the tractor supply store.. it is only for a 35 lb bag.. and it seems to be of good quality. (not as good as the foods mentioned above but it good for the price if you are on a tight budget.)
  It is very close in ingredients to the more expensive brandsCheck out the ingredients for yourself… no corn, wheat or soy.A Very good choice if you cant afford Fromm, Wellness, BB, TOTW, etc…etc.
  also if you go to http://www.tractorsupply.com you can get a printable off coupon!!
  (they have Blue Buffalo, TOTW and 4Health)

  GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR FURRY FRIENDS!!!

  Check for leaks, check all the fluids..hydraulic, engine, antifreeze, tires..look around and see if the front end and 3pt has been greased regularly or not, i would check the air filters to see if theyve been changed recently, might give some idea to how its been taken care of, take it for a test drive, see how the steering feels, the clutch feels, how it shifts and if the hydraulics are strong. also, try to get a john deere.

QUESTION:
I bought a used tractor sprinkler that is supposed to follow the hose, how does this setup?
Any advice on the easiest way to go about doing this setup? It looks fairly simple, do I put the hose straight or in a circle and how does the tractor sprinkler know to stop and come back?

• ANSWER:
  There should be a little ramp with the sprinkler. Arrange the hose in the pattern you want the sprinkler to travel, being careful to not make any curves too tight. Set the ramp where you want the sprinkler to stop. When it hits the ramp and climbs it, it stops. Hope this helps.

What device (on the tractor) is used to harvest soy beans?
On a mechanized farm what implement is attached to a farm tractor to harvest a field of soy bean or would a farmer use a combine? As a rule of thumb how much tonnage of soy beans could a farmer expect to harvest (assuming a healthy crop) from an acre of soy beans?

Thank you.

• ANSWER:
  They are harvested with a self-propelled combine. Here is a picture of a one-unit combine:

QUESTION:
I have purchased property that will require at lease a compact tractor-any-body know about used Mitsubishi's
Rather than purchase a new unit I'm looking for a used one--I like the Kubota tractors--they appear to be of a comfortable size. These units are expensive and I am looking for a used unit of some type. Some say, stay away from those tractors that are hard to get parts for as-Mitsubishi, Ford etc yet these units are the most common in the used market under 2,500.00.
I can purchase a used (2yr. old),Husqvarna lawn tractor , 21hp w/48"cut for 0.00--is that appropriate-for 2.5 acres?

• ANSWER:
  Yes the Husqvarna lawn tractor will be fine for just mowing 2.5 acres.
  You may also consider your terrain and weather.
  For example, if you have steep hills or creeks or rocks or sand or snow or ice.

  You may find that some Husqvarna lawn tractors are built buy a common manufacturer.
  I do not consider them a heavy duty daily use type of tractor.
  What 21hp engine is it - the kawasaki or kohler?

  If you can find a good Kubota and can afford it - do it,,,,,

tips on buying a used lawn tractor?
Do you get under the tractor with car ramps to attach the deck and remove it? tell me all you can
I never had a lawn tractor,now I want to buy a used 1.Can you give me tips and things to look out for? the 1 I like right now is 12.5 hp briggs&stratton 7 speed transaxle.also has a plow. It has 2 tires that need tubes,and will need a battery.the deck is off it right now.I want all the advice and tips you can give me, thanks

• ANSWER:
  If it is in pieces like that then you can not tell what you are really getting. look to make sure all the clips and brackets are there to put the deck under it. just put a 2x4 under the tires to do this. With ramps you will have to pick up the deck. Smell the oil for a burnt smell to know if the motor has ben ran really hot. feel so that you know if the oil is gritty. If burnt or gritty leave it alone. Jump it off to see how it runs before you get it. Make sure it will go forward and back so that the transaxle is good. I would look for one i can get on and go for about 300 myself.

QUESTION:
I'm looking at a used Kubota tractor/loader, 30 hp diesel. Does anyone have any reliability info on Kubota?

• ANSWER:
  The Kubota brand enjoys a fine reputation for quality and longevity but in the final analysis, it is a machine that is made up from hundreds of parts. All machinery wears out. Some parts wear out sooner than others. We measure the amount of wear on this type of equipment by way of an "hourmeter" that records the amount of time the machine has been in use. If this was a car or truck, then the odometer reading would tell you how many miles the vehicle had gone.

  The question here is: How many hours are on this tractor and what is the year of manufacture? Both of these things affect the fair market value of the machine, along with the general appearance. General appearance often indicates how a tractor was treated and cared for. Some owners are meticulous when it comes to changing oil and filters when they are supposed to. Other owners simply ignore those expenses and don't repair anything properly.

  If this tractor is missing parts, has the wrong parts on it, has broken or worn out parts, has makeshift repairs to it, then run in the opposite direction because all you are buying is a host of expensive problems. The only reason to buy such a tractor would be if you paid a very, very low price in comparison to current fair market value and you could use the difference to repair all the things the former owner failed to look after. A local Kubota dealer can tell you what fair market value is but to give a true assessment, he would need to see the tractor and know what the hourmeter reads.

  You also need to make sure that the hourmeter is original and that it is working or you can be misled. Kubota's are very reliable tractors. To me, this isn't even an issue. The real issues are whether I am looking at an "honest" tractor or not. Is it really what the seller says it is? You need to find someone local who has extensive tractor experience to look this machine over on your behalf, even if you have to pay him. People like that know what to look for and they listen to their gut when things don't add up.

  This is going to be a major purchase for you. Make sure you get good advice from an independent party before parting with your cash. Kubota has no control over how people abuse their products after they have left the factory and neither does any other manufacturer. The term "caveat emptor" or "buyer beware" really holds true in cases like this. But it isn't the brand that you need to be wary of.

QUESTION:
What are farm tractors used for?
What do farmers use farm tractors for? Like, mowing grass, making hay or what?

I'm supposed to make an ad for a tractor company and I'm not sure about how to advertise it well. What are the features of a good tractor?

• ANSWER:
  My family has owned tractors for as long as I can remember. The tractor is the lifeblood of the farm. You can't run a farm without one. The tractor itself is basically just a powerful vehicle. However, if your tractor has a 3 point hitch, you can attach all sorts of glorious implements to accomplish various tasks on the farm.

  Attach the disk to break up the ground in order to plant crops. The attachment called the "section harrow" will till the ground in a different manner than the disk, and as the name implies, "sections" the dirt into little rows. The "middlebuster" will dig a neat trench into the middle of a row, for row crop planting. The "bushhog" mows down brush, weeds, and overgrown fields. The "hay cutter" does just that. It cuts down grass for hay. The "hay rake" rakes the hay into even rows after it has cured in the sun. This makes it easier for the "hay baler" to come along and gather up the rows of hay, and spin them into bales and tie them up. Unfortunately, there are animal deaths on the farm, as well. How to get a 1000 lb. dead animal to the back of the property for disposal? Hook a chain to the tractor and drag the poor dead critter to its final resting place.

  As you can see, there are so many uses for a farm tractor that I could think of dozens of others.

QUESTION:
Give me some links to find used farm tractors tires and rims.?
i have a case 430
need help fast

• ANSWER:
  Hey, I have a really old (1960's) Case tractor too. Got a flat in the shed last winter, and i had to change the tire on it myself (yes, the big back tire). blocked the tires, used a bottle jack and floor jack, got the rim loose, took off the tire, and then let the axle down to rest on a big oak stump. rolled the tire ( like as tall as my chest) to a place where i have a ledge in my yard where i could roll it into the back of my pick up truck.

  Anyways, to answer your question, i dont have any links, but i would suggest going to a local feed store- we have a MFA here in MO that has an associated tractor/truck repair facility. I would check that out first. they might also have access to a rim or can fix the one you have. otherwise, if where you live is like where i am, drive around to farm implement dealers- used fields of rusty stuff type places and see if you can find one. GL. will edit my answer if i find links, but shipping would be crazy for something that big anyways.

QUESTION:
Can jet fuel be used in diesel engine semi trucks and farm tractors?

  It is possible to do this, but it's not a good idea. Jet fuel - kerojet (kerosene) - has chemical properties such that it does not combust at the same temperature and pressure in a diesel engine than diesel fuel does.
  It is a good deal spendier per gallonm than no. 2 diesel anyways, so why speculate?

QUESTION:
Why do the strict order of Amish/Mennonites ride in horse and buggies but can still use tractors to farm?
In my area I'm noticing that while they still use horse and carraige to get around these same people will use large farm equipment to farm and even to mow the lawn. I would really love to know how they justify it?

• ANSWER:
  The Amish I've seen in northern Indiana still use teams of Belgians to pull their plows, but will use small mowers to do their lawns. I asked about it and was told something about it was okay to get things from outside the community (where do you think they get the kerosene for their lamps? They can't manufacture that themselves), but they aren't *dependent on* people outside the community.

  Some additional reading says that their aversion is to "any technology which they feel weakens the family structure. The conveniences that the rest of us take for granted such as electricity, television, automobiles, telephones and tractors are considered to be a temptation that could cause vanity, create inequality, or lead the Amish away from their close-knit community and, as such, are not encouraged or accepted in most orders."

  Also, there are different types of Amish, and they have differing rules with regards to what is and isn't acceptable:

  Technology is one of the areas where you will see the greatest differences between Amish orders. The Swartzentruber and Andy Weaver Amish are ultraconservative in their use of technology - the Swartzentruber, for example, do not even allow the use of battery lights. Old Order Amish have little use for modern technology, but are allowed to ride in motorized vehicles including planes and automobiles, though they are not allowed to own them. The New Order Amish permit the use of electricity, ownership of automobiles, modern farming machines, and telephones in the home.

QUESTION:
if a riding mower were used instead of a farm tractor to pull a hay wagon.....?
how many people at minimum could it handle without any strain to the lawnmower engine

for instance a farm tractor can with a hay wagon carry at least 35 people

You say....?

let me show you what I mean hopefully you will get what i am talking about

http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll4/gardenstategreg/?action=view&current=mytheory.flv

• ANSWER:
  If you couple the mower direct to the hay wagon, probably none at all. The inertia of the heavy hay wagon will be too much for the mower to get it moving.
  However, if the mower has a really good slipping clutch (hydraulic) or if you couple it with a long elastic tow rope, then it can possibly get the hay wagon moving with all 35 people aboard. If it doesn't, two or three of them will need to get out and push.

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.

Were plows and tractors used in middle eastern farming?
I need this for an essayy

• ANSWER:
  (You need to specify the period of time. It's unclear how far back you want to go.)
  Since ancient times, plows were used in farming. Obviously, tractors only came into use (gradually) after the industrial revolution.
  For example, from the early 1900s in Israel, plows were used. Later, tractors were added. http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:Y2YCY17oqH0J:www.yale.edu/agrarianstudies/papers/01desertbloom.pdf+use+of+plows,+tractors+in+ancient+israeli+agriculture&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1

QUESTION:
Farm tractors.....get them off the roads ?
Farm vehicles are a danger to other road users. They travel slowly and cause extreme frustration to the car drivers. If a farmer wants to transport produce he should use a lorry. If he wants to use a tractor in another area, it should be transported to that area on the back of a transporter that can keep up with the speed of other road users. I think that such off road vehicles should stay off the roads. What do you think ?

QUESTION:
Why push so hard for CNG when LPG is available and once used extensively in rural America?
I want to know why we're spending so much to develop unproven CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) technology when from the 40's into the 70's LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) was used so extensively to power so many farm tractors and vehicles. It looks to me like we could move back into using LPG so much more economically and reliably.

• ANSWER:
  CNG isn't unproven - it's been around for decades in Europe, but it is less common than LPG which is very popular and can be found in many service stations.
  CNG may have an upside as a better fuel, but the system costs more and is heavier. LPG has problems related to the variable propane/butane ratio which influences engine behavior like idling etc.
  The most important reason would be the business one - someone feels there's more money to be made out of CNG than LPG.

I also bought a tractor and a truck can use those for farm tax write off? Any tips will be helpful. thanks

• ANSWER:
  considering how much money it takes to fix up and run an old farm, fences, barns, waters, vet bills, which is never ending, it's amazing that there is any money left over.

  Anyway: Contact your Farm Service Agency in your county or (gasp) the IRS, the IRS has a form specific to farming. This form will walk you through what you can and can not use as deductions.

QUESTION:
Have you ever repaired a leaking steel rim on a farm tractor?
I have a farm tractor with 18.4" x 34" steel rear wheel rims. One of the rims has begun to leak around the valve stem area. The tires are liquid filled and utilize rim clamped dualsso the mating surface is quite rusty. I would like to repair the leak without having to remove the wheel, dismounting the tire etc.

I am considering removing the surface rust around the leaking area, from the outside, and applying JB Weld to the area. I think it would be wise to deflate the tire so the pressure would not be forcing the JB Weld out of place. I have also rotated the wheel so the valve stem is at the top position to keep the liquid from contaminating the area.

Anyone ever used JB weld or a similar two part epoxy cold weld product in a similar application?

• ANSWER:
  i hate to say it but u sooner or later are going to have to break down that tire. u can try to fix it with jb weld, or maybe silicone. but it will still come down to fixing that tire.
  it is not that big of a job just make sure u have a few friends.
  we have 2 machines, a small skidder 16.9 x 20 it has tubes, and 6wd forwarder with 20x25 the front tires are tube-less(at one time they were loaded too) but it has split rims so for us it is just a matter of prying it apart and replacing valve stem and o-ring. i would really need to know more about the rim and i might be able to help you.

QUESTION:
What should I farm in deep south texas? Onion, corn, hay, or what suggestions?
I have roughly 150 acres in the rgv. Since I'm new to farming i would like to know what crop to farm. Also what tractor engine hp recomended for the use will have for the acres? Please Somebody Guide Me!!!!

• ANSWER:
  I would look into sorghum. It's a great dry/hot weather crop. It's used a lot for feeding livestock and presents few if any digestive problems. You need to pull soil samples and go to the cooperative extension and see the people at the Soils Conservation Service. Ask the other farmers what their having luck with.

  Tractor size depends on the tillage equipment you plan to use. And it depends on what methods you will use. If you choose to do intensive farming for a crop that is higher dollar/high effort, then you're looking at a completely different set up.

  There are maps that show the general soils in your area. If you have farmland all around you, ask these guy what pays the best and what their rotation is like.

  Good luck.

QUESTION:
Would you turn in a trucker if you caught him filling up with farm diesel?
Yesterday I pulled up to the farm diesel pump to get 5 gallons to put in my can for my farm tractor. An 18 wheeler was parked between two pumps, using road diesel to fill his left tank, and using the farm diesel pump to fill his right tank. What I find amazing is that these guys can be easily caught by DOT, and the penalties involve incredibly high fines. Knowing that is illegal for commercial trucks to use farm diesel, would you report the trucker?
For the one calling me a rat, and the other wanting to know what I did, I did not make a report. I drove to another station and got my fuel. All I did was ask what *you* would do.
moms, I got all that info. I know the trucking co. They're local guys, they own about 6 trucks. And I'm well acquainted with the family. I'm just in a bit of a moral dilemma...turn in some old friends, and do the right thing? Or ignore the matter and pretend it didn't happen?
...pitbull, I *do* know the circumstances of the truck. I've been involved in the trucking industry for over 10 years in this small town, and I know their use of farm diesel in this circumstance was illegal.

• ANSWER:
  As an owner of a trucking company that is a road company, I would kill my drivers for doing such a thing, however, you don't know the circumstances of that particular truck, so NO I would not report them.

  Besides if that particular truck was NOT a farm truck he is taking a big chance of getting himself and his companies in trouble. He will eventually get caught.
