AMEN to that!!! I think most posters on this site are newbies or parttimers, and I can't understand how they can spend a few grand on a tractor and won't spend 15 bucks on the most basic book that tells them where the controls are, what oil they need according to ambient temps, service intervals, basic maintenance, etc. I've been criticized as recently as last week for my usual response to the "what oil do I need" question------GET THE OP/OWNER MANUAL. Frankly, they are lucky that those of us who grew up with these tractors, and have farmed full-time for a lifetime are willing to remind (waste our time) them, of the basics. In the future the answer to a similar post is likely to be this: Tractor-$1500, Manual-$15. Knowledge regarding operation, maintenance, oils-PRICELESS! They get manuals with their cars, computers, telephones, apoliances, etc., but are too cheap to get one for a tractor they know nothing about? Wannabe farmers are SO non-impressive!
