    Organized at last! How I keep my cargo straps in order.

    Yep. Had the same experience. Too complicated. Great while they last, but they don't hold up.

    Organized at last! How I keep my cargo straps in order.

    Straps! Can't live without them! Bungee cords are good, too. But they can be a royal PAIN! Tangled just when you need them in a hurry, and always a mess. I bought some new lightweight straps for my new (to me) pickup, and I wanted to find a way to end the strap madness. A tool bag from my...

    Stalling tractor when using posthole digger

    How do you center the larger auger over the smaller hole and get it to bite in the right place?

    CRC makes some excellent products! I especially like their contact cleaner.

    Electrical Problem

    Penetrox, No-Alox, Ox-Gard etc are all intended for use on aluminum connectors in AC power systems. They are okay, I guess, but really what we should be using on vehicles is plain old silicone dielectric grease. And for those of you misinformed people who are freaking out at the idea of using...

    Electrical Problem

    Now try it with a test light. Voltmeters are great. But they only measure voltage. A poor connection can have good voltage, but not allow much current to pass. Think of it like this. If you run an 18 gauge wire from the battery terminal, you can measure good voltage. But what happens if...

    Windows 10 Alternative

    I strongly suspect that the biggest reason MS is so secretive about their code, even for obsolete versions like Win95, is that they don't want anyone to know what a kluge it is. I'm sure any good non-MS programmers would be shocked at the incompetence if they could ever get a look at their...

    Windows 10 Alternative

    WINE (not, "Wine") runs SOME Windows apps on Linux. Some run reasonably well, some run poorly, and some run not at all. Yes, if you don't mind the horrible interface on Libre. As much as I hate Windoze, and have been trying to make the switch for about two decades now, the Linux community...

    I wish I could afford one!

    BX SnowPusher

    I have a BX. I'm skeptical of it having the power and weight needed to move a lot of snow with a pusher. About 15 years back we got a 40 incher. I didn't own my tractor at the time. I watched my neighbor with a 55 horse John Deere and my other neighbor with a 25 horse Massey get to work...

    The Plus and Minus of the BX

    That's why I like using IBC totes. I don't do any stacking anymore, except for the "snow emergency" stack on my deck. If we get a snow too deep to get to my wood for a few days, that's my reserve.

    More truth in it, too! :ROFLMAO: (Just kidding! It was too good a shot to not take it! :) )

    How much bubbles in BX23s transmission?

    Well, I think I know Bubbles pretty well, and while she's not the heaviest gal I've met, she's sure not "slight"! And there ain't no way I'd call her normal! 🤪 (Don't mind me. I'm in the middle of a remoderalating project, and the creative stupidity in the original wiring in this house...

    ROPS lights - pods vs light bar

    Thanks for that tip and the testimony! It's hard to find good quality products these days, and companies that will stand behind them. And some of us like to buy American. Speaking of tips, notice that your comment I quoted is now a link? That's very handy for your readers. You could also...

    The Plus and Minus of the BX

    Yep. All of it! You apparently understand how to burn wood. The key is not trying to burn wet wood! :D (Hint to would-be woodburners: 6 months is not "seasoned"!!) Have you looked into using IBC tote cages for storing wood? I've switched to this method, and love it. The BX hauls a...

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    The Seafoam did absolutely nothing. Useless. I'm with Runs With Scissors on this - save the Seafoam for cleaning injectors. It works for that.

    Stabil wins, hands down.

    I was with you right up until you said, "Lucas Red"! :D And on that talking to the police business.... well, it ain't that simple.

    B2301 tipped over

    That left brake is sure interesting, but I'm wondering how the rear lift (do you mean the 3 point hitch?) knows what time it is.

    Cheap Fix, Hope it lasts (Driveway Cracks)

    Have you found a brand that actually works? If so, please share! Not that it matters to my current gravel driveway, of course. :D
