New it was around $2400, but before I decided to head south to meet James and get a tour through his companies (he also makes tanks for fire departments) I looked on MP and found one north of me near Sioux City. Paid $1300, I think. It was new, never used. Man had a Kubota tractor and many...

I image the steering function is a real nightmare for folks with OCD or anal about everything! Nothing can be done to change it, except to abandon it.

I have a simple life, I'll run out of time before I run out of money! Is that good or bad?

Why not put the original check valve in the hose where you have the filter? Wouldn't that allow less dirt in?

No. I was going to, but I talked to the man who invented, developed and sells them in Pauls Valley, OK and decided to buy and be done with it. The price of the hyd motor and other components get to the point of not worth the trouble. If your interested his number is 405-238-4666. He told...

Reaches quite a ways and does not wear you out.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. He seems to only get really wound up when he hears me move my keys and pick up my billfold. He has learned that means we're going somewhere!! Our house is a split ranch so there are a few steps, a landing, then more steps down. I've taught him to stop and...

That is a rewarding project to determine what yo want, find it, and install it. It will be useful beyond your imagination. One suggestion, figure out a way to keep your hoses from getting pinched. Also be sure your locking pins can NOT release when in a brush pile. Here's what I did. The...

This is Andy waiting for "someone" to return home. We've had him a year and half. Shelter though he was 2-2 1/2 when we got him. He'd been adopted as a pup then returned a year or so later, then adopted again, then returned soon thereafter. We were told he was returned because he had...

Just something to challenge Skeets with.

If you go to a rear design you could use the channel piece (now on the front) as a tool to clean the crumbs out. Just have it mounted so you can drop it into the ditch (straight down) and pull forward to clean.

You would be able to easier and deeper if the channel piece was lower on the attachment plate. Thomas Edison said, "To invent you need a good imagination and a pile of junk".

I was told to be successful you need to work at least half a day. And it doesn't matter which half.

Why do you have a drip leg on the pipe holding the weights? ;)

I take capsules of odorless garlic every day throughout the year and use vinegar in salads. Very seldom get a tick on me. If I find a tick I put a dab of Vicks Vapo Rub on it, and in a couple of minutes it's easy to get off.
