This is gonna make you take a look at your engine oil!

Thursday afternoon as I walked through the service department returning from lunch, Little Tractor mechanic Kenny Caudle said, "Now I know you're not a mechanic...but I want you to come here and look at this....."
((to which I said, "Well you are one smart cookie, I'm on the way!"))

Kenny proceeded to show me the engine oil he had removed from a tractor during a service.  He explained that this was a prime example of lack of engine maintenance. 

I asked him to "pause" and let me come right back to do our first ever
Little Tractor Service Department Video!!
The result is below ...

10/22/2010 - It's Facebook Friday!! Today's Winner is....

Here's today's prize::
A Little Prize Pack - including a Little Tractor hat,
Little Tractor Koozie and other Little Tractor Goodies!!

The Little Tractor marketing department is spending some time today linking up all of our online goodies and creating widgets and such .... We're going to start with YouTube.
____________________________________
____________________________________
Recently while taking a testimonial from a gentleman in the lobby, he told me that he'd found our YouTube videos "once upon a time"; he went on to say that he wasn't very skilled with computers and hadn't been able to find them again.  Therefore, I'm going to give you a step by step guide on how to find and subscribe to the Little Tractor YouTube Channel ... should you wish to do so ... and we hope that you do.
____________________________________

Before we begin the two-step tutorial,
We want to share with you some examples of what you'll find on our YouTube channel...






The bold link will take you to our YouTube channel.   
Our YouTube "User Name" is "LittleTractorEquip". 
When the page opens you will see the screen below...

Each of the "thumbnail boxes" is a video that we've uploaded.  If you look to the top right of the group of videos, you will see that they can be sorted by "Date Added", "Most Viewed" or "Top Rated".

See the Bad Boy MTV at the Super City Blues & Ques in Metropolis!

Do you have a large yard or farm?  Do you find yourself spending a lot of time walking back and forth to your supply barn, making many trips ... possibly driving your truck right through your beautifully manicured lawn just to get everything you need hauled out to your project site on 'the back 40'?

Good news, friends ... mess up your yard with that heavy old truck NO MORE!!

_____________________________________________________________
Take a look at the Bad Boy MTV!!


The Bad Boy MTV is available with gas or electric operation and you can take a closer look at
BOTH this weekend at the Super City Blues & Ques in Metropolis, Illinois.

Observe the electric Bad Boy MTV in action as it's used by the event staff this weekend at the Super City Blues & Ques.  It may be electric, but this isn't a "jazzed up" golf cart!!  No siree, Bob! 
This is the world's FIRST all electric multi-terrain vehicle...
A vehicle of a whole new breed!

*Virtually Maintenance Free: Check batteries every 6 weeks and fluid levels every 2,000 miles.

*Hassle Free: Get in and Go/Never worry about Fuel, coolant, or daily maintenance

*Smart Charge System: Automatically shuts off when charged/Plug it in and forget it

*Smoothest Ride: Articulating rear end for the best ride and performance

*Go Green: Throw the gas can away and enjoy the pollution free all electric ride.

*Framed Stronger: Powder Coated Fusion-Bonded Solid Steel Bridge Frame

*Tires: 6 ply steel radial tires

*Automatic Dump bed: Fingertip control of any load.

*Safety: 1.75” Solid Steel Roll Cage/ Lap Belts/ top speed 20 mph/start sequence-key on, Brake released, fwd/reverse switch engaged.

*Quiet: No engine noise or vibration. Great for hunting or enjoying a peaceful conversation as you ride.

*Batteries: Patented Interstate Batteries can be found at any automotive outlet/optional easy fill battery option.

*Industry safe: The electric vehicle can operate inside any factory because of its non-combustible make-up.

*Simplicity: Electric vehicles are mechanically simple compared to the internal combustion engine. For example, here are some things a gasoline powered vehicle has that an Electric vehicle does not …
Engine Oil, Oil pump, Coolant / Radiator, Transmission, Exhaust pipe, Exhaust manifold, Clutch, Spark Plugs, Fuel Injectors, Fuel/Oil/Air Filters, Engine Belts and Timing Chains.
This means you won’t have oil changes, coolant flushes, or transmission problems. There are no air filters, oil filters, or fuel filters to replace. There are no tune-ups or emissions tests. There are no belts or radiator hoses to replace.

The model on display near the stage is the Gas model.  It allows a larger towing capacity, has a larger payload and travels at higher speeds than the electric model.







*28hp 400cc engine powers the MTV up to 55 mph!

*Shift on the fly 4-wheel drive!

*Safety certified ROPS, three-point seat belts and foot guard.
