If it’s a Super Crew cab and long bed, it’s definitely easier to back into parking places, if they’re not angled parking. Ain’t no way to do that without being pointed in the wrong direction when it’s time to leave. We had a few customers that started requiring backing into spaces on their mill...

Dry chem and foaming extinguishers are the only kinds rated for fuel/oil fires. Foaming agents are harder to come by for personal/residential use. It takes a lot more CO2 than you can carry to put out even a small fuel fire because it does nothing to reduce the volatility of the fuel. Even...

The primary reason for opening it all the way is so that the cylinder rods are fully retracted and protected from corrosion, as well as having the least amount of hydraulic fluid in them (by the amount displaced by the rods). Put a piece of RR tie on the ground and put the clamp teeth on that to...

Am I to understand that trailer is dedicated to storing your firewood through the summer? Now I AM jealous. That looks like a nice dump trailer from this angle.

I'm pretty jealous of anyone that has more than 2 inches of topsoil. I'll see your powdered rock , and raise you an old dump site full of broken glass and who knows what else. I've dug some really weird stuff up out there including shoe heels, body parts from dolls (creeped out my...

Ain't cheap might be a little bit of an understatement. Kubota's proud of their kit. REAL proud. I put the 3rd function valve on my LX. I got the Summit kit, which all in all was a good kit, but they could have done better with some things. My loader valve is mounted on the side of the...

One definition missing. 3. The apparent ability for martial arts when a spider web crosses a bearded face.

Yeah, considering rear remotes for my LX. Most of the work I have left on my property is moving dirt and converting old erosion ditches to smooth swales. The current plan is A.get a rear blade, B. get a boxblade wider than the LX(need at least 60” blade), and a top/tilt package for the 3-point.

Dead pine just across the line in my neighbor’s yard fell yesterday while we were having a bit of wind. Been expecting it to fall for a few years. Very solid stump, though, because it was hit several times by lightning while it was still living. Lightning damage attracted beetles, you do the...

Well, I'm going out on a limb here, and gonna say that if I post one of my home brew setup, it's gonna be because I had to move the tractor outta the way to set it up. I brew in the tractor shed and tractor in the brew shed. Ergo, beer does have a connection to tractors. Any other kinda beer...

Man that was some happy grass before you fixed the poopy pipe.

He actually went to school with my oldest stepson. Kinda weird when the kids that went to school with your kids start filling up the neighborhood you've been living in for 20 years. Kinda paints the writing on the wall, so to speak. So he's young, late 20's early 30's definitely, and...

A young couple moved in next door a couple years ago. I kinda liked the guy because he was very industrious and was cleaning up brush and overgrown trees and weeds that the previous neighbor wouldn't touch for the first 16 years I lived here, much like I've been doing for my entire time of...

Dunno how you got your GE Stock, but I hope you weren't another Jeff Immelt victim. I could rant for hours about that man, but I'll sum it up and just say there's a special place in Hell waiting for him.

Your ballast block looks remarkably like the chunk of concrete the previous owners poured around a basketball goal post next to my driveway. This was not a fun evening.
