    Hydraulic pump with through shaft

    == A thought..... At one time I was kinda, sorta engineering in my head an 1100rpm capable pump to mount on the belly of my compact tractor to run off the mid mount pto shaft there.. Leaving my rear 540rpm pto open for other uses... Never got it fabricated, so don't know if I would have had...

    3 point Unverferth Rolling Basket Harrow

    My thought would be to build a 3pt tool frame that the rollers could be bolted to and different styles chisels, spikes or such could be added as desired.. Much like the combo in WilliBills photo... All on the most ...cheap... possible.. My 5 cents of opinion..

    Does it matter what brand box scraper/box blade I get for my BX23S?

    The 5' box blade I had was a cheap, generic, no name, likely China built model from ..Princes Auto.. store Canada.. It did'nt matter what color it came as.. I changed the color a couple times, depending on what color paint I had available at the moment.. The color didn't seem to affect...

    Ouch... Like suggested replace the angle with a heavier reinforced replacement.. I would also consider gussets from the top corners of the center plate to the ends of the angle.. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

    Pulling logs

    To add info.... A time or several, I used the ...arch... part of my 3pt post hole digger with a top link and a short chain and hook to lift the end of logs for skidding.. I skidded logs about 30" (75cm) or so diameter at times.. The trail was far from flat, but not rough.. ALWAYS pulling...

    Pulling logs

    Yes... Depending on the log, a 5 gallon bucket, 20-30 gallon plastic barrel will help keep dirt and such off the log as you skid them.. I used to do a lot of skidding by raising the end of the log with a 3pt trailer mover attachment and pulling the log from the braw bar... You never want to...

    Firewood bucket recommendations anyone?

    For hauling firewood with the FEL I used my 42" pallet forks, a pallet with another pallet as a back stop and a triangle scrap of plywood on eigher side to form a crude box or tote.. Quick, easy, cheap to have plenty around to fill with rounds, and let sit until I could get it to the splitter...

    Tarter box blade?

    I bought a 5' box blade from the local auto, farm store that was no name, a bit crude, likely China made, but more than adequate for the work I needed to use it for.. A sloppy brush repaint job when needed that was never seen from the highway and it worked well for a long time.. It did...

    Titan box blade?

    It was ...pre covid... when I got a auto, farm store 5' box blade.. It was no name, somewhat crude, likely China made, but only 1/4 the price of the one listed in the first post.. Quite cheap especially for an implement in Canada.. It was more than capable of doing the work I needed it...

    1960s-ish post hole auger & B2601

    My first post hole digger was a hard used old Speeco.. With some TLC it tightened up very good, looked and worked well.. It came with a 9" and 12" augers.. I couldn't find new hardened cutting teeth, but I made and resharpened several sets of homemade mild steel cutting teeth.. In my...
