    Planted 80 green giants last october. All are doing pretty good except these two.

    I had stopped watering them in april , may and june. But july was 100 degrees every day and no rain for like 3 weeks so started up again. I had time today to take the mulch away to inspect the drip lines. Drip lines looked fine and worked fine, When I took away the mulch it was very very soaked...

    How to store a large Auger for easy attachment?

    I have a lot of 55 gallon metal drums, so I cut the tops off of them and store the augers in the drums upright. I can then just back the tractor up and lower the boom down and attached one. I have from 6" all the way up to 24". The 24" wont fit in a drum so I just lay that on a pallet. I know...

    I have been working on getting pads compacted for parking trailers on. But that area has been like that for the past year. There is a side little ditch past this row of trees so water can drain off and into the catch basins so no pooling. So dont think contaminated water. Was just strange two...

    subframe kit? I'm in central Jersey and might be interested. Although we bought a kx040 excavator this year and the backhoe might be a stretch of a purchase with the wife overlord.........

    Yeah haven't updated my profile - picked up a kx040 excavator last month, new from my kubota dealer. Looking at my profile I guess I never added my grand l 6060 that i got last year from messicks also or my zd1211 zero turn mower with curtis cab and a/c I got last year to replace my zd331...

    New excavator or backhoe to SSQA adapter

    Thanks, wound up buying a construction attachments SSQA unit instead of the ATI. On my kx040 excavator. I have a 6 foot man basket but haven't tried it yet with that. Works great with forks. I have an augur for the excavator - works really well for drilling holes. Much better than a 3 point...

    New excavator or backhoe to SSQA adapter

    I know an old post but been thinking of getting one. Either ati or rockhill. Both around the same priced shipped. How is your ati holding up? I want to use it for forks but I have lots of ssqa implements . Broken yet? Would you buy ati again? How handy is it

    2 acres to fill in and smooth out - start new? Or work with what I have?

    I have 2 acres that over the years have some low spots that water puddles in and years of my driving my tractors over it has all sorts of bumps and ruts. The grass grows pretty decent on the 2 acres but I hate cutting it as I am jumping out of my seat on my zero turn. I have a 72" power rake...

    Anyone ever have a trailer with metal grating for a deck?

    Well that doesn't instill confidence..... the 16 ply tires are load range H on that trailer. but you had a 10 ply load range e? Load range H seems right to haul a 10k pound excavator.
