I'm in North Texas and bought mine in 2015. Gear drive, loaded tires, QA bucket and a 5' mower for $17k delivered.

My big trailer uses 2x8's and 2x10's. Around here you can get re-purposed telephone poles for a reasonable price. They will last a long time compared to regular PT wood!

When someone asks how I'm doing: Can't complain, wouldn't do any good anyway! OR If I was doing any better, I'd need two of me to enjoy it.

If the UPS driver sees me in town, he'll stop and give me my packages rather than driving out to the house. :D When I call the the vet or Insurance agent, I just give my first name and they know right away who I am. I can call the elementary school and tell the lady up front, "this is...

If you go with electric over hydraulic, you won't want to pull with electric brakes again. They are NICE! I miss my 20k with electric/hydraulic brakes on both axles, other than the weight of the trailer. That sucker was heavy empty! Like already said, it does not take a special controller.

No reason other than I had them sitting on the shelf and needed hooks this weekend. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Thank you! No, these hooks aren't going anywhere. :D

Lots of great discussion and points made in this thread! I myself went the welded route. These are stick welded with 7018 rod. Here's a couple pics after a quick coat of primer. I just picked up some Kubota orange and will shoot them once it warms up a little. Sorry for the picture size, I...

I prefer Wranglers, been wearing them for 30+/- years (not the same pair). ;) They always wear out right above the knee or in the crotch/thigh, but I get a lot of life out of them, till it's time to move to the next waist size up. They are pretty resilient when it comes to when I am welding...

Fun times! Growing up, mom was the one who got to pull the boat out of the water. '65 Chevy truck, 396, Muncie 4spd (all from their old 68 Chevelle SS). She would run the rpms up, side step the clutch and deck it, rolling smoke all the way up the ramp while dad and I were given whiplash sitting...

I'll play. 42 here. :D

We traded my wife's 2015 Silverado for a 2017 1500 2wd, crew cab, short bed. It's been a great truck so far and averages 19-20mpg. She drives mostly highway with a little in town. I can't speak to the oil consumption claim because we've only put 6k miles on it so far. However, the 2015 never...

We have two German Shepherds and they do a good job keeping people in their vehicles, when they are outside with us. They are spoiled and stay in the house and seem to only hear UPS and FedEx when they come up. :rolleyes:

I've been doing some research and reading reviews, but I'm looking for real world experience and suggestions on reliable driveway alarms. The house is about 150 yards from the front gate. We do have wildlife that pass through, sized anywhere from roadrunners, rabbits, coyotes and deer. As...

This is me to a T. I've always helped anyone that asked. I work on anything with an engine, weld, fabricate, paint, etc... I'm always helping my wheeling "buddies" with something. Prior to back surgery they all said they would help anytime I or my wife needed something while recovering...

I like the dyed concrete too. Keep in mind that each truck that you mix the dye in, there will be an additional cleaning fee. Some plants/drivers will charge a much higher fee so they don't have to deal with it.

We built our house three years ago and had the downstairs stained. It looks great, but I would suggest a good polyurethane on top of it so it can be cleaned easily and keeps a good shine. They didn't do that, so I need to bite the bullet and do it myself at some point. They cut in a Texas...

Re: Orange Brother Down He sounds like a great guy and well respected. Hope he has a quick recovery. For those of us not in the know, what's his YouTube page? I'll subscribe and it sounds like he has some cool videos.

California has been moving in like crazy for years and yes, they do everything they can to change this great state. Grapevine is smack dab in the middle of DFW. It's a nice town and is growing like wildfire.

Nice box blade! It sure looks to be of great quality. Great looking piece of property too. What trailer do you have? It looks nice too.
