Thanks for the replies. That’s what I’ll do.

I’m tilling a 40x40 plot for garlic this fall. At the end of the run the tiller leaves a large divot. Not really a big deal but would like the whole plot to be level. Any advice or is it just how it is. Thanks in advance, Dave Richey

If winter continues like it has lately, cold will not be much of an issue. The only real problem is the rain. My property gets wet in the winter and stays soft until late spring. Joys of living in the swamps of eastern NC! Thanks for the advice. I'll top it off, put a charger on it and come...

The tractor won’t be getting much use this winter. Planning to top off the tank and add stabilizer to it. Anything else I should be doing? Just hit 125 hours and she’s running like a champ! Thanks in advance. Dave

Thanks for the replies. Guess I've never left it up over night before. Dave

I have a L3301HST. I left the bucket up off the ground the other day so i could take off my clamp on forks. Got distracted and didn't get it done. Came back the next day and the bucket was on the ground, forks laying flat. Thought that maybe i had accidentally hit the lever so I put it back...

What are you all using to lube turnbuckles on the 3 point sway bars. Mine are getting sticky. Was going to use wd-40 but thought it might collect to much dust and dirt. Dave

I just roughed up the ground with my ratchet rake and spread a red and white clover mix. Coming up pretty good despite the fact that it rained for 4 days after I planted it. Dave

It's a great addition to the tractor. I've ripped out some big wax myrtles with mine and also use it to prep my feed plot. It's on my FEL most of the time. Dave

Thanks for the replies guys. Digger ordered. My soil is old farm land. Sandy loam and then a big sand ridge below that. Don't anticipate any issues with the digging except some roots here and there. Will pick it up at the store on Saturday. With military discount, won't be too bad. D2Cat...

Getting ready to put in some fencing to make a pasture for goats and a couple of cows. Figure right around 300 holes or so. Not doing them by hand! Wanted to get some thoughts on the tsc post hole digger. Don't want to spend to much but don't want it to break 25 holes in. It has pretty...

Knocked out the 50 hour service this weekend. Easy. Took about an hour, including the cigar! Dave

Not sure why it does that sometimes. Dave

Before and after. 45 min with the ratchet rake. Can do some damage Dave

Its really just a small vibration. Mostly I notice it when the tractor is not moving. When mowing it not really noticeable. Thanks for all the input. Dave
