    Retirement

    Enjoy! I retired at 53, 66 now. I bought a country home and work some during the summer. Sold off the animals (that made it a 12 mo. job) and just fiddle around in a garden now. You can make that hard, or not. Now I just fiddle around wood working/turning, little house remodel here/there as...

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    Atleast it's orange! Paid less for this than the cost of a blower for my 'bota without a cab. One swath down the driveway and it's done. If, like the county is ever fast doing the county road, we need to get out to hiway, doesn't take long to blow 1.5 miles of snow, just a pain in the back...

    Show Off Your OTHER Toys

    Fun to ride, easy for an old phart to hold up. Other favorite hobby is a telescope but don't have a pic of it at the moment.

    Anyone own a L47 soft cab?

    WOW!! I was going to check on getting one for my 'bota but wow!! I bought an AC 190XT with cab and huge snowblower for less than half of that. Actually paid less for it than the price of putting a front snowblower on my 2370. Love my kabota but.... not going to sell the house to put...

    Getting ready to retire, what did you treat yourself with?

    Picked up a wood lathe for winter enjoyment and a new HD Triglide for summer fun. Had also bought a camper for some travel but a storm destroyed the camper so now we take train sleepercars from time to time. Had previously picked up a country home and put in a large garden and a 2370 for...

    Buying a tiller. Should I go reverse tine?

    LandPride RTR52 on my BX. In my soil it works great but as in the vid, it will pull a lot of trash along. First time use was pasture never turned, went through like butta. On friends place, pretty much the same, EXCEPT, he has rocks. Hit one rock and it bounces like crazy, does not kick it...

    What type of Diesel fuel?

    It's all the same except winter or summer blend. Dyed/clear, don't matter. Dyed fuel is not taxed, clear is. It is dyed so the law can tell which one your running. Put dyed, ie un-taxed in a vehicle and get caught.... unkie sam will screw you every which way. They will spend a fortune to...

    New garden question

    Coons, field rats, have always been a problem for me from day one. They have mowed down everything here, even thorny plants. I put up a 6-foot tall fence completely around my garden. Coons manage to get to my corn but not as often so that helped. Field rats.... every few years one will run...

    New garden question

    My soil was/is pretty deficient, only about 12 inches before turning to pure sand. Yet when I plant, my plants go nuts. I've had tomato plants 5-6ft tall, a single melon plant spreads out like 5 or 6, corn, it goes great but gets tall enough I have problems because of the constant wind here...

    What do you ride, and whats the last thing you did to it?

    Thanks! I believe only offered one year on trikes and baggers, I've not seen another one. Called Snake Venom, will change colors depending on which way the sun hits it. Has the HD 1 painted under the clearcoat, pretty cool.

    Have had many different bikes starting in 1970. Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and HD. Bike before this 2021 Tri-Glide was an HD Fatboy (gave to son last year). Have gotten to the point arty-right-us in the back makes it difficult for myself, with my wife was downright dangerous so now, this will...

    What if your tractor needs change ?

    Unless you need to use one, a lot, I would/did not get one (hoe). For the $$ of the add on/set up, I can rent one and come out ahead.

    Strongest pulling configuration

    Nailed it! That chain comes loose, your neck is it's next stop. Please don't do that, use the draw bar. And, make the chain as short at possible. I've pulled stumps smaller than that with a 200hp weed green 4x4 and still had to pull it out in chunks. Burning it down if possible and...
