I purchased a cheap action cam to mount on my tractors. The camera I purchased is an SJCAM M20 that has electronic or digital stabilization which from the attached video is pretty worthless. Wondering if any you guys are running action cameras and what type of budget hardware works well for...

I dug a small wildlife pond two summers ago in my mostly sandy soil in a low spot that does have some layers of clay. The pond is fed with run-off, rain , and soon to be harvested rainwater from my tractor shed to the tune of 425 gallons per inch of rain fall. I am ordering up a ton of sodium...

I am considering a Reolink Go PT battery/solar powered security camera for my land. This camera requires a data only SIM card, has a battery plus comes with a solar panel. I have looked at several YouTube videos on this camera but would love to hear from any users here on Orange Tractor...

As some may know here on the forum I am involved restoring a former Christmas tree plantation back to a native oak savanna. I would love to hear from others your experiences with your native species projects and how your tractors and equipment fit into your work. Please share things such as...

I made a trade + cash with a friend that had this RCR1272 brush cutter he no longer used. He wanted my little King Kutter 4 foot that I used behind my B7100. Starting this coming growing season I need to do some maintenance mowing in my native species oak/savanna. I will be hooking up to a...

This is a fun time of year as the whitetail population becomes more active. This buck does not seem to care that the oak tree he seems to be licking (licking branch) and scrapping with his front hoof has a trail cam plainly exposed.

Over the last year and half I have been developing a safe shooting range.. Admittedly its been slow going , lots of other projects going on at the same time. Saturday with the help from a neighbor we "boxed" in my covered shooting bench. The white pine we used was cut and sawn by him. I will...

For starters I debated to even post this video of myself using my self-designed and built seat lift that allows me to get up on my taller L2501. I am able to pull myself up on my B7100. I use a wheelchair full time after suffering a spinal cord injury 40 plus years ago. One of the reasons I...

I have spent more than a little time looking at downspout rainwater diverters and wanted to ask any of the members here which brand and type works well. The criteria for a diverter for my system is this. 3 x4 standard aluminum downspout A leaf filter built into the diverter. I am not able to...

I went down to my land today to mow some trails with my B7100 and when I arrived I decided to take a quick drive about with the Jeep. I came around a corner, (40 yards) and surprised this fellow. I wish I could have had the time to get better photos but knew he was not going to wait around and...

I have been catching this guy (I think its a male?) on different trail cams for a few weeks now. This is the first decent video. Not knowing much about black bear facts, what does a bear this size eat after coming out of the den and before berries , nuts etc become available? Live off his fat...

I had posted a few pictures as I cleared a spot for a small tractor shed in the "what did you do on your Kubota" thread a while back and a forum member suggested I do a project thread on the subject. Initially I responded that I would not do it as I am not the one doing the actual building as...

I had three large cherry trees that were too close to the house, along with the fact they were in decline. I had them cut and moved over to my north property line and the young man next to me wants the wood for boards and firewood. He is going to cut me one or two slabs so I can play around and...

I took my tractor down to the land today to start clearing for a 27 x 24 tractor shed. Half way thru the loader control falls apart and the joy stick flops all the way down. Not a huge deal but in my situation complicated getting back to where I parked my wheelchair as the loader was in float...

I thought some folks here might find this program that is run by the Wisconsin DNR interesting. Its called Snapshot Wisconsin. The DNR divided the state into 9 square mile (3 miles on a side) blocks with the end goal of placing a trail cam in every block. I believe they are close to half way...

Hopefully someone can direct me to the quickest solution! :) My tractor is a B7100hst late model. Today I replaced an aging battery with a new Interstate 51r. After removing old battery, I cleaned the terminal ends, placed and bolted in the new battery. Installed positive ,then negative cables...

I am installing a more robust winch solenoid to control my seat lift winch. My question is this. As I do NOT want the control switch for the winch to be keyed can I simply attach the red wire from the control switch to the positive hot side of the new solenoid? I have a arrow pointing to the...

I purchased a new L2501 Nov of 2019 and at that time was given a coupon for filter and engine oil , value up to $50. The coupon expired July of 2020. For a few reasons (mostly my own laziness) I did not get back to the dealer before it expired. Yesterday I stopped in at Service Motors Company ...

Its time for me to replace a ten year old battery in my late model hst B7100. After doing a search here in this forum I see that some folks say a 51R is a correct battery. My owners manual says that the battery type is a 50B24L I have a cheap group 22 lawn and garden battery in now that has...

After purchasing my L2501 I decided to dig a wildlife watering hole. The project has already become a wildlife magnet. I enjoyed seeing this 2 1/2? year old checking out the camera and watering hole while on the hunt for true love. :) Note: the time stamp as far as the date is correct but the...
