Nice pictures Ken! Thanks for sharing. I believe I have 9 preference points if you ever decide you need to harvest him. They make wonderful sausage of all types.

If you don't secure this tractor , it will be sold to someone else, and you will be kicking yourself for dragging your feet. This is a great price for clean equipment that is well kept!

I assumed Buck purchased the L3800. I could be wrong, but being a betting guy, he will share his nice aquire soon.

Congrats on your new tractor to you Buckeye! It was a win, win, for both the buyer and the seller. The buyer got a great deal and the seller prolly sold it for what he paid new for it and basically used it free for all those years. Worth the effort to take care of your equipment. Good lesson here!

We love wild turkey here. Slow braze until it falls off the bones, usually 6 to 8 hours and it makes the best gravy with the drippings. never had a tough one ... patience when cooking is the key to a tender bird. It's not a domestic chicken, but becomes just as tender with the slow braze and...

The municipal trash is the last place it should go! I care about the next generations to come after me. Being responsible does make a difference for others. It's not as simple as out of sight out of mind!

It's really simple. If they have a fee where you live for waste oils and filters, then there is a problem. If the political people we vote for are by the people and for the people that vote for them, then they should be aware of fees that harm the environment and don't work, because folks won't...

Yep, I was offered to be added to the list when I applied. I think folks really do enjoy the program and don't want to give up their spot! It's a great way for the DNR to have eyes on the ground literally everywhere in the State.

Nice pictures Ken! I applied for the DNR program years ago, but my area was already taken and not available for me. Way to go!

I really don't think the fluids need changing. The OP was hesitant to allow the tractor to idle and warm up properly. Doing that will cure the problem that was caused.

The operator's manual for the L2501 on page 41 specifically states that warming up the engine in temps below -20C (-4F) requires 30 minutes .... allowing the L2501 to run is a must and not harmful.

Thanks for the information. We buy whole pigs all the time. Never knew about the taint issues with wild pigs ... tasty.... not!

Do they become tuff at that point? I would think ground pork or sausage would be a good use for the meat. Not familiar with them here in Wi.

Do you process the pork for the freezer? It looks like a good eater size.

Nice find for sure! It's a shame the meat was wasted, but it is what it is, and this stuff happens. I'd save the scull and horns for sure ... why not? Prolly a 3 year old for sure.
