    Hitch for lawn vacuum

    Sounds like you should be able to use a drawbar between the lower link arms of your 3 point hitch as you are just towing the vacuum. They come in Cat 0, 1 or 2. Here is a pic of one for reference.

    Hitch for lawn vacuum

    What type of wheels does the blower have? I ask as I have a DR Vacuum and it came with wheels on a fixed axle which was great behind the old lawn tractor and just pinned at the single point connection. When I purchased a zero turn years ago, I ordered the swivel wheels and hitch which uses a...

    Getting Old and Back Issues

    Blue collar - check, and adding to that raising two daughters and my bird brain that I can do it by myself and handle it. A desk job for the last 10 years did nothing to help the damage I did years ago.

    Getting Old and Back Issues

    Lumbar epidural steroid injections. Hopefully it helps as I would really like to defer the surgery thing if possible. I know eventually I am going to have to go that route but hope to avoid it for a few more years.

    Getting Old and Back Issues

    Guys I really appreciate the responses, it helps with the overall picture I am now faced with. That said the injections did not happen today as expected as the referral was for a consult and not the actual injections as I was expecting. Oh well, one day at a time, I am now scheduled for late...

    Getting Old and Back Issues

    I realize that there are quite a few of us OTT folks that are in our 6th decade and beyond. That said, I am looking to hear what some of you may have already experienced. In the last several months I have been dealing with lower back pain and sciatica. The back pain has been tolerable and not...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    And no emissions. I would hate to know how many hours are on the ole Ford. It's a 1975 and my FIL farmed with it almost daily for about 40 years. I put a new instrument cluster on it as the tach needle broke off about a year ago. Heck the hour meter had not worked in over 20 years prior to...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Over the last week when time has permitted I decided I would take the time to plant a little food plot on the back of the property. I wanted to put a few more hours on the ole Ford so I put the ole disk on, then used the drag. Next it was seed time and finally a good running over it with the...

    Do you need a truck?

    I use my truck most weeks for hauling stuff and then towing the boat and other trailers at least monthly as well as several weeks of off roading in the sand down in Hatteras NC every year. My truck is a tool not a cowboy Cadillac.

    WESTINGHOUSE GENERATORS

    I have the 12000/15000 straight gas version and have no complaints. I only have about 10 hours on it ver the last two years. I went larger so I could get hot water and my well pump. Too old for cold showers when the hurricanes and ice storms take the power out for day/weeks.

    Ooops I broke a cutting deck

    I had great success with left hand drill bits, and air drill and then an easy out. I had one of the infamous 2008 Ford Triton Engines with the exhaust manifold studs that would beak as well as the broken spark plugs. I suddenly became very good at getting broken stuff out of the old engine...

    Whos into home grown

    98 degrees and dry as heck here. Got down to dig the little row of potatoes so they don't cook in this heat. And then fed the spoils to my fertilizer manufacturers.

    Whos into home grown

    A little haul about a week ago. My sweet corn should be good near the end of this week and my tomatoes are turning red. We need some rain really bad but I can water the garden a bit to keep it alive.

    Is this attached correctly?

    That's how mine is connected. I have used it for a couple of seasons and it works well.

    Yeah, she has given me a hard time. Fortunately she does not freak out with small things like this.

    Pulled a Dumb One

    Public Service Announcement......Safety, Safety, Safety..... Decided it was time to sharpen the blades on the finish mower. I have a spare set so it was more of a swap with sharp for dull. Took all the normal precautions, jack stands under mower and gloves. Finished and removed my gloves then...
