@Runs With Scissors ..... there you go again!! Enticing me to spend more money on another fun system I didn't know I now need. :ROFLMAO: Your part looks great. And a nice alternative to heat bluing!!

I first ran my AgriMetal leaf blower behind my JD750MFWD tractor (17 PTO HP) for many years. At the time of purchase, that blower was rated for 17 HP and under. The JD tractor handled it just fine and I actually wish I had bought the next larger model but I was talked out of that idea...

The top vault was empty, save for a cash drawer. the bottom vault, however, did contain a few items.

RWS, the thought to try the mag drill for an inspection hole sure turned out lucky. :ROFLMAO: Those different series of numbers on the recipe cards were the numbers dialed to zero in on the final combination. Since the borescope was looking inside the change key hole you could see the lock’s...

Finally, an update on the heavy safe move and cracking the combinations! It's hard to believe it’s been over 2 yrs since I moved this safe into the heated shop to work on. It’s sat unmolested mostly because the locksmith buddy and myself just couldn’t seem to find a common spare day to try...

I have a BH77 and have the manual for it in a pdf file. But it's too large to attach here or in a private message. I believe I can upload it to a gmail spot and give you the link to it. Start a conversation with me and I'd be happy to see what we can do.

Many years ago, I turned 5 ft cultivator into a smaller version of yours to prepare seedbed for a 3 acre parcel of sweetcorn every year. 2+ ft. had to be added to the cultivator's width to match the pair of rolling baskets that were rescued from heading to the scrap dealer. I sure wish I...

Maxa, from your picture....it looks like you're maybe stirring up or dealing with alot of accumulated old thatch as well? Before I purchased my 3 Pt PTO blower I used what's called an "Estate Rake" to rake the excess grass clippings into windrows. Then quickly swept the windrows into piles and...

Is the surrounding area of your yard open? Or maybe parts of it? I'll use my 3 pt. PTO powered blower behind my B2650 to clear the dead grass off my lawn if the grass was too long when cut for what ever the reason. I blow the dead clippings off the top of the lawn into the woods surrounding...

I have a generic equivalent of the rake you mentioned. Bought many years ago from somewhere. It works quite well on gravel and would work quite well in the pictures you show. Works great for spreading, leveling dirt or gravel. But that rake is a little rough on the grass if you'd be...

Fantastic Idea, GrumpyFarmer!! :love: Now that would be hilarious!! There is a buffalo ranch less than 5 miles from here...not sure what those droppings would look like but might have to investigate!! That reminds me of the old Indian saying: When the chips are down....Buffalo is empty!!

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I know it's bugging the neighbor and even more now that I've been able to keep a straight face twice while talking to him. Funny what a person can do with two old chunks of wood and a handheld disc sander! With those big feet screwed to an old pair of...

My neighbor keeps a pristine garden planted in vegetables every year. Each spring and fall I’ll roto till his spot so the soil is most always nice and fluffy, especially after he uses his narrow garden sized tiller between the rows. They were gone one day and came back to some giant’s...

Without a doubt.....that grapple on your new tractor will become your best friend on your ranch for the things you need to do!! Congratulations on your new ride!!

Back in 2013 I picked up two rolling baskets that were heading for the scrap yard. Then modded my little 5 foot 3 pt cultivator to tow the baskets and match their width with a few extra shovels. Roughly 7 foot of coverage now. At that time, it was used behind my JD750 MFWD (20HP) to prepare...
