Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: gnu Date: 23 Oct 12 - 09:25 PM Komatsu, New Holland, P&H or whoever they are now, Allison-Chalmers, Cat... no matter (CAT RULES!). Fact is, it's all aftermarket shit now. Ya gotta buy that PARticular part from whoever ya got the tractor from BUT ya can buy SO many other things elsewhere. On a tractor that is "involved" in hydraulics, we got EIGHT guys here in town selling hoses and shit. So... it all boils down to the manufacturer... will you get good service? Will you be able to get third party parts if things "go wrong"? Hank... I admire your stcik-to-it-iveness. Your, "Mine is developing character. I use it professionally. Almost daily." is a true testament to your ability to use heavy equipment to shovel the shit that you are full of. I still dislike you immeasurably but you do make me laugh... more often cry but ya gotta take the assholes with the apples, eh? (Gee, when I just read that over and in proof reading it sounded tooo harsh and not intended in the spirit I wanted to convey. Oh, well, not even a minor flaw given... ) |

Your sumabich couldn't pull a sick whore off a piss pot so that's why you leave it out in the rain... Me??? Mine may be mentally ill but I take care of it so when the day comes when it meets up with yer sloped hood wnatabee it will pull the guts outta yer fake tractor... No brag, just fact... My Kabota is the meanest tractor, pound for pound, on the planet... I could take three wheels off and it would still pull the guts outta yer wantabee... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: Bobert Date: 23 Oct 12 - 08:04 PM John Deer??? Come on... They make John Deer in Mexico... Used to be that John Deer was something... Just like my Kabota... My Kabota would not only kill off both yer tractors but then come after ya'll just it has me... I think my Kabota has a little Charles Manson in it... I mean, it has serious... ...issues... Serious... Heck, it coulda killed little Donnie "I'm a drunk" Pettit any time it wanted but Donna was like Squeeky From to it... Me??? Different story... It has blown every hydraulic hose in the loader/bucket since moving to NC just to piss me off... The last one might have got it's attention... Blew hose down around where I was where it tried to off me a couple months ago and so I had to leave it down there... That night we got one of them "deretti" things with straight line winds and an oak blew over right on top of it... Fell right between the steering wheel and the exhaust stack and resting on the arms for the loader... Now, I coulda just left it down there and told it to "fuck off" but did I do that??? Heck no, I didn't... I went down there and spend a day cutting the tree away from it and got it back into it's comfy equipment shed... So you'd think that the tractor would be appreciative, right??? But no, the sumabich tries to kill me??? That's what I mean, Krinkx... You ain't dealing with ordinary 3650 Kabota... Yer dealin' with the Charles Manson of 3650s... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: Bobert Date: 23 Oct 12 - 07:17 PM And then the Krinkx woke up and discovered that his kiddy tractor has four burned up tires where I pulled it while the Krinkx first tried to use his brakes until they burned out, then put it in reverse and cut off the engine while my real tractor pulled it until the tires melted off it... The don't do horsepower like they used to do, Krinkx... I gotta 16 hp Craftsman mower with a Kohler engine and I gotta a new Craftsman mower with a 22 hp motor and the old 16 hp would pull the guts outta the 22... Yeah, yers might have a higher top speed... You can do that with tiny little pistons they make outta thimbles but tractors is all about torques... And you know what they say about troques, don't ya, Krinkz... The torques of the pork is equal to the heat of the meat... Think about that one and say "Hey" to yer teddy bear fir me... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: Henry Krinkle Date: 23 Oct 12 - 05:36 PM It's not aerodynamic like the new ones. And it could drag yours down the road without ever spinning a tire. 50 hp. And no loader to add weight. ( I want a loader but I only have 2 wd. I think you should have 4 wd for that). =(:-( )) |

From: Bobert Date: 23 Oct 12 - 05:20 PM I don't care if the Arnica ain't got no healing properties 'cause some of my best friends here say it works and so it's gonna work... I got some and gonna put it on while I watch some "I Love Lucy" reruns tonight... Yeah, John... I know about them doors... My light switches do the same thing... It's like playing pea-unner-a-shell game where you never get to win... Yo, Krinx... Yer tractor so ugly it'd make a freight train jump tracks and take a dirt road... Sho nuff would... I mean, lets get real here... What's with that aerodynamic sloping hood??? Is that to cut down on drag at 200 mph??? What a joke... Tractors is clunky... That's what make's 'um tractors... It's kinda like we men loves the womenz... Shape, baby, shape... No, not shake, baby, shake but... ...you heard me right... Shape, baby, shape and yers looks like the kind in front of the Walmart that ya' put a screami' two year old in and put a quarter in the coin box to shut the sumabich up... I mean, real men don't ride around in tractors with areo-dynamic hoods... What next with you Krinkx... Tractor seat with little red hearts on 'it??? A side car for your teddy bear??? Sheesh, man...

I haven't made any claims one way or the other. I only posted the reports of studies that found it is no better or worse than placebo in the trials cited. Make of that what you will. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Oct 12 - 05:05 PM I think that part of the benefit of the Arnica, is the massging when you apply it. This would help dissipate the blood into the lymphatic (?) system |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Oct 12 - 01:31 PM There is no such thing as an inanimate object! Take swing doors for instance. You approach a pair of them, just sitting there waiting for you. You grab the handle of one, you push.....zilch, you pull....zilch. You grab the other one, you push.....zilch, you pull....it opens! They watch which handle you go for first, and change the sequence to piss you off. See, it's always the last possible movement that works. They are all united against hoomanity, and just when you think you've got a set of doors worked out, they change the sequence. Now there's another thing, eye level grills, that's a machine plot. Ya think it makes life easy, so you don't have to bend over to check your bacon; wrong. It's actually a plot to make it easier for the grill to spit the fat, straight in your eye. Then there's trees. They grow in one place for hunners of years, never moving. Then they jump out in front of your car, just for spite. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: Bobert Date: 23 Oct 12 - 12:12 PM Yer Kabota ain't bad, Krinkx, but ain't got the character that mine has... My Kabota could write an entire book on all the fun its had trying to kill me... Also tried several times to kill Donnie "I'm a drunk" Pettit before the alcohol did it... My first winter with it it tried to run us off the side of a mountain in the snow... I slammed the bucket down into the grond just in time to stop it... It was pissed off and refused to crank the following morning... I don't understand it's thinkin' at all... I mean, if it goes off the side of a mountain it's gonna get messed up, too??? Maybe I just need to take it to a tractor shrink??? Tell ya what... It don't like the flatness in North Carolina 'cause it has to work a lot harder to find ways to hurt me... B;~I |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: maeve Date: 23 Oct 12 - 10:56 AM Caution is always advisable, bobad. However, the gel form recommended by my doctor and Physical Therapist was and continues to be extremely helpful and effective for reducing bruising, pain, and swelling on my broken arm as well as similar injuries. It is not to be applied to broken skin. I have no confidence in, nor do I use, homeopathic arnica taken internally. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: Will Fly Date: 23 Oct 12 - 10:42 AM Hey Bobster - try making a well-known phrase or saying from these words: (1) Asshole (2) Dumb (3) You Don't die on us just yet - puhleeze - well, at least not until you've solved this puzzle. :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: bobad Date: 23 Oct 12 - 10:38 AM FYI Available scientific evidence does not support most of the claims about arnica's effectiveness. A 1998 review in the Archives of Surgery looked at 8 controlled human trials of arnica, and found that arnica worked no better in treating injuries than the placebo with which it was compared. The authors found that the studies they reviewed had serious flaws in the methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of arnica. They concluded that the human trials did not show that arnica was helpful or beneficial. One randomized clinical trial actually found that arnica appeared to increase pain and cause more swelling than the placebo in patients who had their wisdom teeth removed. A 2003 study of 62 patients tested homeopathic arnica to find out whether it reduced pain and bruising in patients having surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. There were no differences in pain or bruising between the arnica and placebo groups. A double-blind, randomized British study of 37 patients looked at homeopathic arnica in tablet and ointment form to learn whether it helped people having surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. A week after surgery, there were no differences in grip strength, wrist swelling, or pain between the group that was given arnica and the placebo group. Two weeks after surgery, the group that had arnica reported somewhat less pain than the other group, although there were still no differences in grip strength or swelling. Further studies are needed to find out whether this one difference is due to chance or to the effects of the arnica. In 2002, a small Miami study looked at arnica gel to see whether it would reduce bruising after laser surgery to the face. No difference in bruising was noted between the patients who used plain gel and those who used the arnica gel. In 2006, German researchers analyzed 3 studies on the use of arnica after knee surgery. Homeopathic arnica was given before and after surgery in all 3 studies. There were no significant differences in swelling after surgery between the arnica groups and the placebo groups in 2 out of 3 of the studies. A 2007 controlled study looked at homeopathic arnica in patients who had their tonsils removed. One group received arnica and the other a placebo. Patients were surveyed afterward, with 111 out of 190 patients returning their questionnaires. The arnica group reported slightly lower pain levels than the placebo group, although there was no difference in how much pain medicine they needed, the period of time before they went back to work, and the number of visits they made to the doctor afterward. There was also no difference between the groups in bleeding and infection after surgery. A similar outcome was observed in a study published in 2010, in which patients got a mixture of arnica along with another homeopathic remedy after heart valve surgery. There was no difference between the placebo and homeopathic arnica groups in terms of blood loss, pain, fever, or lab results. A toxicology assessment completed in 2001 concluded that there was not enough safety information on arnica to support allowing its use in cosmetics. One 1994 study found that some of the chemicals extracted from arnica can kill colon and lung cancer cells growing in laboratory dishes. No follow-up studies in animals or humans have been published since then, possibly due to the side effects that can happen when arnica is taken internally. Several laboratory studies suggest that arnica may reduce the activity of certain types of immune system cells. However, much more research in animals and humans would be needed to find out whether this effect is helpful or harmful to people with cancer or other diseases. |

I am convinced the tractor has a brain and the only thing it is thinking about is how it going to kill the guy in the driver seat. They say the most hazardous occupation is farming. Too true.

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: Richard Bridge Date: 22 Oct 12 - 08:21 PM A friend of mine suffered a somewhat similar assault from his chipper - one of the big ones with its own diesel engine that you just lobbed a huge tree-root into and it went "chunk" and chips came out. He tried to unclog it with a two foot long crow's-foot spanner with the motor running. It grabbed the spanner and threw it 20 yards - breaking bones in his hand on the way. My only bad time with a tractor was when I was helping a friend out putting grass onto his silage pit, and one rear wheel of the little Massey-Ferguson I was using went through the crust. It tipped to one side but I stood on the difflock and got enough traction to pull the tractor forwards on top of the crust again. No roll-cages on those old tractors. I also advise against clearing rotary lawnmowers with the engine still running. That nearly stopped me playing guitar altogether. I'm pretty wary of ladders and hedgetrimmers too. 10 foot ladder, short fat grumpy old man, unstable. I kept my fingers out of the hedgetrimmer, but landed on a wall and broke two ribs. I also got a twig up my nose which bled for 3 days! |

Subject: RE: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: Henry Krinkle Date: 22 Oct 12 - 06:19 PM I've done that with my big pry bar and tractor. Good to know not to do it anymore. I make my living with a 50 hp Kubota and a chain saw.. Always dangerous. =(:-( )) |

Subject: BS: Tractor/Dig-Bar Try to Kill Bobert... From: Bobert Date: 22 Oct 12 - 05:59 PM Sumabich!!! So this morning I was across the pond with mt tractor, shovel an d dig bar to dig a biggish hole for a pine I bought and had about 3/4s bucket of dirt from the hole... Seein' as I weren't gonna need the dig bar any more I did what I always do with it and slid it over the rear tractor fenders between the lights and the ROPS (Roll Over Protection System, i.e. roll bar)... Done it a million times, right??? So I was headed back to get everything I needed to plant with and remembered a hole down in the woods next the the creek that sho nuff wanted that load of dirt dumped in it so... ...down I went with it, dumped it in the hole and was headed out when my tractor and dig bar figured that this was a golden opportunity to try to kill me for all the abuse I've given the two of 'um over the years so... ...at the precise moment that I had some steam getting ready to pull the hill outta the woods the dig bar slid just enough to catch a tree and used the ROPS as a fulcrum and became a WMD intent on takin' me out... Well, there's good news and bad news here... The good news is that it didn't hit me in the head or I'd sho nuff be either dead or a veggie-hillbilly... The bad news is that it hit my left arm so hard that I thought it had broke it... That was 5 hours ago and I have just gotten home from the Emergency Care, fortunately without a broken arm but with a major "contusion" all wrapped up in a sling and a bottle of good pain pills... Like I said, "Sumabich"... The tractor and dig bar out there giggling but ***I WILL*** get even... Not tomorrow, mind you, but when they least expect it... B:~( |
