    Public Service Announcement: don't set the wood's on fire please.

    Went outside with the dog today about 3pm. Smelled smoke and saw a nice column that looked close enough to be on my property. Luckily it was far away. Made me nervous enough to go get nosy. And I saw two people still actively burning while I was trying to find the fire. Even being very careful...

    Used L3901, 12 hours, 24k-ish$. Deal or no?

The B is fantastic, but not a mountain goat Even requires 4wd mowing a perfectly flat lawn. Question 2: Has anyone in the south regretted buying a cabbed machine with...

    Steep gravel driveway drainage/washout solutions?

    I posted over in the what have you done on your tractor today thread that I maintain a lot of steep gravel driveways. I cut in "speed bumps" or water bars to prevent wash out.

    I bought too small. Help me spend my money.

    I live on a steep hill side. Need 4wd to get up the driveway without tearing it up. I want to mow and bush hog lawns and fields and grade the driveways in climate controlled comfort. I love my little tractors. But I want to go big and still have a soft footprint when needed. What would you get...
