Well it depends….this year out of our three hives, only one is strong enough to produce for us…out of that hive so far this year we have harvested a combined total of approx 5 gallons of honey. (This year we really haven’t had a dearth since lots of rain and flowers never dried out/closed up…I...

I mowed the out of control yard today (twice)…got 95% of raked and hauled to compost station and heavy storm caught me…little girl and I both got a free shower. Worst part is we were draining honey and i did not think to tarp it so it got caught in rain too - it’s a bit thin. We’ll have to...

IMO that is better situation than forgetting to put a pan under before removing the plug.

I hope the rubber duckies on the Jeeps dash floated. 😂 Quite a few folks over this way (between middleburg and picreltown especially - just north of West Liberty got pounded pretty good))had ponds/lakes put in yesterday. 😉 I imagine a few indoor swimming pools too.

Yep. I believe I am just a little south of you. Mac o cheek creek was across 287 on my way home from work yesterday as well as 29 and 47 (just south of zanesfield near wengers market.) Lots of water for me to drive through to get home and the rain continued thru last night. Lots of space...

No shortage of rain over here…we are flash flooding again today…there is trout fishing in my township road more often then not recently. fact of the matter for me is it’s been too wet at the residence to bring my little lady out to play and I don’t have a snorkel kit to install. 😉 I guess if I...

Did you find a branch or the cover just fell off? At least the wires still intact.

pulling to the left, well that ain’t right 😉 over what distance? What does ‘feels hydraulic’ mean? If not air pressure, toe adjust, or the crown, I would wonder you have some tire to tire variation in either the carcass or ballast (if applicable). do you notice when mowing or off pavement...

The winch is is far exceeding my expectations so far. If I had to choose between grapple and winch, I would take the winch. Grapple is is very helpful, but I could make do with forks for a lot of things if I change order of operations. I feel like I am still learning some technique between the...

I made a little noise in the woods today doing storm clean up and got to use the winch a little bit. The main trail is now opened back up which allows me to go east:west across the north side of property along the river. (I got rained out this afternoon but at least I got the trail opened and...

I am not sure what planing to cut with the BX and I don’t remember the width of my previous BX, but the two questions I would have are: 1. Do you want to cover the tracks of the machine? 2. Is the BX the right machine for the terrain, size/scope and whatever materials you plan to cut? if...

I use both my B and the MX for gardens. (Although when I use the MX it’s because my B is 4 hrs away) the B is great in the garden. I use a reverse tiller on it and I also have a potato plow and a garden bedder. The last two manly used up north where I have a little more space. The implements...

Good day. regarding forks, I don’t have any experience with bolt one. I am very satisfied with SSQA type. as far as brush guard I like the Lown that is on my MX. if they made one to fit my B I have one in it from Lown as well. Since they did not I ordered from Messicks and I like it as well...

Depending on what planning to do with the place, I find forks the most versatile implement on the front end…i use forks more than bucket or grapple. Also if playing in the woods, I’d think about brush/grill guard and maybe chin guard. If not getting MMM, depending on your use consider the...

Good day. Congrats on new machine and new home! what do you consider a land cultivator? (Tiller, chisel plow, other?) how large is the lawn / area you want to smooth over?
