    a rude awakening!

    There was minimal damage. Broke the top cab corner and took out the upper rear hazard light. I was also very surprised at how easy it was to right her.

    a rude awakening!

    Well, I had a bad tractor day! They saying learning from your mistakes is the best, so I hope I listened! Flipped the tractor on her side a couple of Saturdays ago and we all survived. I spent half of the day with the b/h on and the rest without. I have to say, the cab changes the center of...

    best way to cut around pond

    diydave, I can do that as soon as I can get down there. We still have a bunch of snow. Might be another week or so.

    Almost flipped my BX25D

    In a case like this, how much rear ballast would be a logical offset?? I'm thinking of making my own homemade, concrete barrel type 3pt ballast tub for the rear so I don't have to have something on the back (like my backhoe). I'm not even sure how much one of these homies would weigh.......

    best way to cut around pond

    We've had the property going on 4 years now and we've only met a couple of the neigb's and they do not have any equipment that could help me out. My wife is a heavy duty garden girl, so no pesticides allowed. I will explore the animal route for now and keep an eye out for a sickle mower I...

    best way to cut around pond

    We do. Going to a meeting at the end of the month. The issue seems to be they would prefer you do nothing with your land. We don't need a golf course, but I do like certain areas to be somewhat maintained (6-8 inches) so we can enjoy those areas. We have 95 acres, under forest management, lots...

    best way to cut around pond

    I have the industrial tires (r1??) on the tractor. The tires have almost no wear on them, so the bite should be good. I will get a couple of pond pics once the snow melts out a bit to show the angle. I'm concerned about "sliding" into the pond if I back down. I guess that's a drawback with a cab...

    best way to cut around pond

    best way to cut around pond - pics added page 3 (#25) We have a large pond (5 acres)that I would like to maintain the growth around. One side is a slight hill, but the other is much steeper, maybe a 30 to 40 degree angle. Our tractor is a b3000 cab model with fel and a backhoe (if they matter...

    another rookie question re: post hole auger

    I ended up with the Lienbach. For my needs and what I paid for it, I think I will be ok. The LP would have been nice, but I was able to see the Leinbach first and it doesn't look to be abused. I need it for fence maintenace. Thx OTT mem's for all your help and suggestions.

    another rookie question re: post hole auger

    Murphy's law another phd has come up for sale, a Lienbach l7300 w/12" bit, no hydraulics. Where is the better dollar value, Lienbach, $600.00 no/hyd or Land pride (2006yr) pd25 w/ hyd , $1200.00? I know Lienbach is out of business now.

    another rookie question re: post hole auger

    yes, I agree with the normal way, but this came up for sale so it's more of a money shuffling thing. I could pass on it and put in the rear or purchase it and wait on the rear remote till later in the year when there is more expendables. My hole needs are not anything major Might do 15-20...
