    Good source for 2,4-DB herbicide?

    Amine 400 works great on broadleaf weeds. I recommend using a non-ionic surfactant along with it.

    Spotted Lantern Fly

    Problematic for Ailanthus?? That's like being upset about a bug that devours crabgrass or ground ivy. The world would be a better place if every ailanthus tree disappeared. Talk about an invasive species!!

    New tractor buyer

    I think you're on the right track. "My tractor has too much power and capability"- said no one ever. I have an M5660 on 2 acres, with 40 out of town that gets a visit a few times a year.

    I wonder why Continental outsourced the enclosure to IHC? IH made their own power units of all sizes back in the day.

    Any grass gurus here?

    I can't grow grass to save my life. Talked to my FIL who's pretty good at it. He said his trick is to set up a mist head on a programmable timer. He sets it to water the grass every 4-6 hours until it's well-established. I just set mine up today, and I'm going to lay down some Amturf Lawn...

    Yanti Gite Machine Attachments, Terrible Engineering

    If you pressurize the case drain on a hydraulic motor it will lock up. I've worked on some industrial equipment that used a hydraulic motor on a ballscrew for linear indexing and used a solenoid valve on the case drain which put pump pressure on it to lock the rotor. Just a thought.

    Equipment fires

    Yeah, I watched that today. I felt bad for Andrew, especially when it sounds like the insurance company jacked him over on it. My first instinct was to throw handfuls of dirt on it. A shovel or even a bucket would have come in handy in this instance as stated above.

    MX6000 hyd inlet pipe

    All of todays tractors have tender underbellies. 1980 and older ag tractors have very few items underneath that attract sticks and such.

    Generator Time

    Possibly in the future I'd like to get a natural gas fired 25kw, 1800 rpm unit. Been seeing some decent used ones on FB marketplace lately with 4 cylinder liquid cooled engines which appeal to me.

    I love my M5660. Buy it and stop worrying about the hours. Would you be happier with a 2018 with 1900 hours on it?

    PTO driven 3-point circular saw attachment.

    Here's my solution. Anything 4" diameter or less goes to the burn pile. Amputation averted!

    So what would you tell your grand kids?

    Puppies and kittens are considered "companion animals" the others are "livestock."

    Spring , not yet

    My 2nd gen Starlink is $120 with auto pay. It's been real good so far, but fiber is coming down my street this summer for $65/month. Will be selling my system once the fiber is past the infant mortality stage.

    Tiller maintenance?

    EP 00 is an extreme pressure semi fluid grease, a.k.a. "corn head grease". Check your local big ag dealerships. Also look for NLGI 00 grease in a tube. People use this in brush cutter gearboxes as well.
