Like many others, did a bit of mowing. Fawns have just gotten big enough there’s not much concern about running over them. When I got to the area around the pond, noticed what initially looked like an out of place rock. Upon closer inspection, a rock with beady little eyes and claws. One of my...

I use chains and ratchet binders for the tractor. Strap(s) to meet legal requirements for the implements. Already had chains for rigging for tree felling, skidding, etc. so binders were only thing needed to buy. I don’t haul other people’s stuff and I can accept a few isolated chain marks, but I...

I’m no hydraulic guru so if one of the true experts shows up go with what they say, but two things: 1) Based on your question, you have Tank, Pump, and Power Beyond identified and know where they go so you got the most important part. If you aren’t sure on those, you need to be before firing it...

Here in the US, the white speed limit signs are law, but like all other laws there is some discretion in how they’re enforced. Not sure how to give other examples of laws with well known “discretionary enforcement” limits that don’t quite align with the strict letter of the law without derailing...

Did some more chipping today at the other brush pile across from the shed after finishing the bigger brush pile I started on yesterday. When I finished the shed pile, I remembered I needed to give the shed a thorough look to see if the Alaskan Saw Mill setup was still in there. Hadn’t seen it in...

Too wet to do much outside but can run the chipper even if it’s a bit muddy out. Turned a bunch of useless and not very compact brush into much more compact and useful chips. Put a good dent in it today, hope to finish tomorrow.

Long boring story as to why, but I had to do a lot of brake steering on the tractor I first learned to operate. Could steer it with the brakes about as well as I could with the steering wheel (going forward). Wouldn’t have a tractor I couldn’t brake steer. If you have good traction on the front...

Park in the shade, flip seat up, towel or cloth seat cover. If you wear shorts some sort of cover is almost required.

You could make it yourself. Used to do that every weekend in the summer when I was a kid and again when our kid was in the house. Haven’t done it in a while. It’s so simple even a kitchen klutz such as myself can pull it off. Using a base recipe you can add variety by adding fruit or other...

The above is from the Operator Manual for my L4701. Lift capacity is rated at 2870lb at the ball on the lift arms that attaches to the implement (W 0 in the diagram). This is from the Kubota website. It lists the 3 point lift capacity of the L4701 at 2870lb “at lift points” and 2320lb 24”...

At 72 I would wonder a bit if he ran off the drop off and died or if he had some medical incident that caused him to run off the drop off. Tragic either way.

Our road runs the spine of the ridge the three houses and shed are on. It has two turnoffs for each house and one for the shed. All downhill way past the horizon in the below pic so it gets to being a lot of water moving pretty fast by the time it gets near the end of the ridge. When the my...

T I’ll scour the shed for it but that will take a bit of time being I haven’t seen it recently. May be this weekend before I can positively determine whether it’s here or not. If you don’t have a PM from me by Monday, I don’t have it.

Many years ago had one of those Alaskan Saw Mill saw guide things and yeah, it was a lot of work. Also made a fair amount of lumber from the white oaks that had to go to make room for our house. Much better with a ripping chain in place of the normal chain. Can’t recall if that thing is still...
