    How to Properly Identify Hydraulic Quick Couplers!

    Just added a couple hydraulic flow regulators to my air blast sprayer. The volute was way too violent when I would manipulate the remote lever. I added these to slow down the action. I'll put them through a test run spraying this weekend but after installation it appears that it has accomplished...

    Ticks!

    If you have some acreage you might consider Guinea Fowl. They are supposed to be very good at taking care of ticks, mice and other pests. We had some but they kept venturing into the state highway in front of our place that has a 70 mph speed limit. We lost almost all of them to vehicles.

    Land Pride blade nut

    I just got an impact socket set off Amazon for the same thing you are doing. B0CG142P4T I'm hoping they work out. I couldn't believe I found a set in that size in 1/2" drive. Hopefully I'll have an easy time with it like you did.

    Dirt Dog core aerator.

    I purchased a 72" core aerator from Everything Attachments a couple years ago in which I've been very happy with. It's a drum design that weighs over 700 lbs. filled with sand. I also place cider blocks on the top rack to add weight then ratchet strapped them down. Our soil is a loam clay that...

    BX1870 slow cranking

    After you get your new battery you may consider a battery maintainer to keep it fully charged between uses. I put a maintainer on our tractor, UTV, car and lawn mower and its saved me l lot on the cost of new batteries. Of course you would have to have a place to plug the maintainer in or go the...

    Mx6000 vs 7060

    I have the MX6000 and love it but you should consider the 7060 for added lift capacity. The cab is really a nice feature with A/C, heat, stereo and not much dust/pollen. I added side mirrors, air seat, 3 point quick attach, wheel weights and had Rim Guard put in the tires. I don't need to add...

    Interrupter Switch for Air Blast Sprayer

    Good Morning. I'm getting a sprayer ready for the coming season. I'm putting a solenoid on the sprayer and running a wire with an interrupter switch into the cab of our MX6000. I will use the switch to turn on/off the spray as I travel between trees in our orchard. I'm looking for a good spot to...

    New Lx2610 Paint question

    Good to know. I'll have to keep an eye on my sprayed implements. Could you find a Valspar color that matched up with Kubota orange?

    New Lx2610 Paint question

    Really..... I am curious as to what your experience has been with it and why you have that opinion. I haven't had it on my implements for very long but it seems to be decent stuff to me.

    New Lx2610 Paint question

    I've been using the "MAJIC" brand "Kubota Orange" from Tractor Supply. It's more cost efficient compared to Rustoleum and seems to match up well. I just painted an air blast sprayer that I refurbished and the bucket on the FEL after welding on some hooks. I can try to take a picture to compare...

    What bugs you?

    Selfishness! I can't stand selfish behavior. Here's a few examples.... refusing to signal when driving, camping in the left lane, taking up more than one parking spot and not returning a shopping cart to the store or designated area. Yep, I've turned into a grumpy old man.

    Picked up a tiller

    I have a King Kutter tiller. I bought it used for $700. It was leaking on one side so I changed the grease on the gear boxes and replaced the gasket. The skids were in bad shape so I replaced them as well. King Kutter can provide parts if you need to replace anything. I bought a broadcast...
