I was pretty happy! Had I not gotten it fixed, with the price of a replacement seat…..I guess that I’d be sitting on an apple crate! 😁 memtb

About a week ago, I had to go down to the river a do fence repairs. The very high water this Spring/early Summer was a little hard on the fence. To better access the fence area required removing a very large Russian Olive tree, which worked the heck out of me and my little Kubota! Also, had...

I’m a bit late speaking of this, but as in much of the northern part of the nation, we’ve had a bit of winter. We rarely get wind in our area, but with wind, snow, and sub zero (-38 F one morning actual) temperatures, our Polaris Ranger with the snow plow reached it’s limits on moving snow...

Thanks mcmxi, and Merry Christmas to You and Yours! memtb

River19, Airstream was recently (within the last 4 or so years) been bought out by one of the huge conglomerates that dominate 80+% of the rv industry. Almost all, and probably “all” of the name brand rv’s that they bought out took a near immediate drop in quality of components and quality...

While large, it’d not really that big......39 ft. However, it’s built like a tank. In it’s day, it was one of the highest rated 5th wheels for full timing. The brand (Teton Homes) came with a -20 F warrantee (we’ve been cooler than 30 below a couple of times) , stated that the heater would cycle...

mcmxi, The truck is an ‘07 Ram 3500, 6.7. I’m a bit (OK a bunch) over the listed tow ratings and over the listed weight rating for the truck. It tows great and gets decent fuel mileage when driven conservatively. The real weak link in the system is the tires/rims. We addressed that issue...

Something I never thought to mention......was something I do pretty regularly. We have a heavy (20 K pound) 5th wheel rv, and use a heavy duty, air ride hitch which weighs 280 pounds.....which we remove when not in use to free-up my truck bed. This is done fairly often! Our old, lighter duty...

I failed to mention an unusual occurrence that confronted me the other day when I was busy clearing riverbank and putting very heavy rears back on after a flat! I started out with a full fuel tank, and noticed that I seemed to be using a lot of fuel.I blamed it on the fairly heavy workload...

I’ve got a question for you folks that use/abuse their tractors similar to the way I use mine! As noted in my previous post, I’ve had two rear flats. I have an MD60 with weighted (2 on each) rears. Closing in on 70 yo, it kicks my butt to remove/replace those tires! I may not be able to handle...

Welcome to the forum Billy! And, I completely agree with 85Kokie....... it’s pretty difficult to go too big! Like owning a quality, loaded-out truck or car......you will rarely hear someone suggest that it’s just too “nice”! 😉 memtb

Actually.....I didn’t! Having purchased that may have been less expensive than damages incurred! I had such a small section to clear.....not certain the cost would/could be justified! Ah....the beauty of hindsight! memtb

I’m glad that my trees weren’t as large as yours......pushing those over would have been quite a work-out for my little Kubota! 😁 memtb

Actually started last fall, returned 4 days ago to attempt to finish the job before the ground freezes. We had a jungle of Russian Olive and Salt Cedar along about 150 yards of our river frontage. Last fall, I pushed down a lot of the Russians and the Salt Cedar getting a flat rear, a bent hood...

Congrats on your shooting range.....looks like you’ve got a good thing going! But WOW, what a coincidence.....I was gonna post about my shooting range work. Though with my range work, my dump trailer did most of the “heavy lifting”! The photo shows the work done on our range here at our...

Deleted! memtb

RCW.....Here ya go! And it wasn’t perfectly executed, when moving it around to “square it up”.....I broke a small piece off of the corner! :mad: Can be seen in last photo ( front right of slab). memtb

A bit of a challenge, that went better than expected.....relocate a 8’x10’ concrete slab. We live quite rural, and burn our trash....then separating metal and glass/ash,etc. Our “burn barrel” and trash barrels were on the aforementioned concrete pad. We recently put a swimming pool in the...

Thanks Flip, I’ll be taking a look at that! memtb

Also......what the heck is with all of the numbers, asterisks, etc. replacing quotation marks, emoji’s, etc. It makes a post pretty difficult to read! memtb
