    Max safe depth for water crossing?

    I have to cross or work in creeks fairly regularly, and sometimes they are higher than others. I've been comfortable getting up to the step on my L3901 to cross, but curious if anyone has advise on how deep is too deep? What components are susceptible to taking on water or doing damage to the...

    dyeing herbicides?

    A few years ago I decided to put some Rit dye in my herbicide pump sprayer so I could identify what I'd hit already. I've been super happy with the results, and maybe paid for the dye by not double-treating plants/weeds in the open areas I've treated. Anybody else tried this? It's even better...

    Yet another tool box fabrication project

    I’ve seen some nice fabrication projects here for toolboxes. Thought I’d share mine. I did this a couple years back. Heavy duty and plenty of space. Ammo boxes can be swapped out by project. The boxes are from Harbor Freight. I used 2 different sizes to fully use the available space. Each box...

    Top link/side link wrench for 3 point hitch adjustment

    This wrench is for adjusting the top link or side link on a Kubota 3 point hitch. It's made from 1045 tool steel and has been hardened and tempered. I made one of these for adjusting implements on my Kubota L3901, and since the tool worked so well, I wanted to see if others would find it...
