    Am i missing something?

    Pretty excited that my Homestead Implements rake showed up today. It was about 4 days ahead of their estimated ship date. I unwrapped it and hooked it up. The rake is shipped spun around backward to make it more compact for shipping. When I spun it around for use while going forward, there are...

    Do i just need spacers?

    Bought a used QH15. I knew I would need additional pins to connect the QH to my BB and rake. What I didn't know was about the bushings. Do I simply need the spacer #20 in the appropriate length to go over the pins that will go through the lower attachment points of the BB and rake?

    How NOT to do a hydraulic oil change...

    We find the random tire or TV along the back side of our property. This takes the cake! Roughly 20 gallons of hydro oil. About 50' from a creek. Fortunately, none of them were leaking. They were all on their side and I righted them to check. I hope those ^#$holes fall on rebar.

    T&T/ Rear Remote Question

    I've searched here and other places but I'm not really understanding what all I need. I'm contemplating adding hydraulics on the 3 pt for t&t. It's a luxury, as I haven't needed it. I just make the adjustments manually. No biggie. What I seem to gather, is I'll need a 2 spool rear kit as well as...

    Home Generator Oil Heaters

    Hey Orange People, got a question on this accessory. Well, more like I want opinions. :LOL: We have a 24k Generac air cooled/ LP fuel generator. We live in the Mid Atlantic, so it isn't often hatefully cold. There are times where is does drop into the single digits. A week or two ago, it was 5°f...

    Ultimate question: Christmas movies

    So what do y'all think? Is it? Why or why not? (If you get it, you get it!)

    Float when using Edge Tamers?

    Thinking about getting some Edge Tamers for the "bad winter" we are supposed to be getting (60°f today 🙄 ) this year. From what I've seen, they can also be useful for other tasks on finished lawns. Anyway, my question really is when you use a bucket with Edge Tamers for snow in a gravel drive...

    Tractor in an enclosed trailer?

    I'm in the market for an enclosed trailer. Since I hate to have anything that is single purpose (except the race bikes :ROFLMAO:) I was thinking about buying one that the L will fit in. I don't have a flat bed trailer, and wouldn't really have a use for one other than towing the L. It seems that...

    Looking for input. This is after 20 hours.

    This guy takes pride in his shovels!

    I never knew there was so much to shovel maintenance. Guess that's what I get for being a young Gen Xer.

    Pro tip- lube the cable!

    Well, at 83 hours, the infamous tach cable broke on my 2501. At $31 and 15 minutes to repair, it was not worth loading it up and leaving it at the dealer for a week. Probably a good thing, too. I noticed the old cable was pretty dry. Rusty as well. So I checked the new one. Also pretty dry...

    Starlink & myQ garage door opener

    Hey orange freaks! I'm having some trouble connecting my door openers (Chamberlain) to the interwebs using the myQ platform. I've searched a little and tried some hints but no luck. I've tried 2 different phones- Droid and iOS. Anyone out there with Starlink done this successfully? My generator...

    Coconut Trucks?

    No, it's not what I just fell off of 😉 Over the past few months, I've noticed these guys everywhere. I do not recall it last summer. Selling coconut meat, pineapple, and they'll stick a straw in one for you to drink the juice too. They are almost as common as firework stands in June. Any other...

    Cross bracing floor joists

    Hey folks, looking for some product advice. The back story is that my parents are getting new floors throughout. Carpet is going away and LVP in. Plus, the kitchens and bathrooms will be getting new stone tile. They asked the contractor about the bounce in the floor in the great room and...

    Front axle pivot maintenance question

    The owners manual says to remove the breather plug, apply grease till it overflows the breather port and reinstall the plug. Easy enough. I only found one plug on the front pivot. The rear does not have one that I can see. Didnt think much of it at the 1st interval. 4 pumps in each and called...

    Carpenter Bees.....

    Yeah, I know. We live in the woods. Bees are gonna do bee things. I leave everything alone that I can. But the Carpenter Bees.... they can be damaging! I don't want to kill pollinators if I don't have to. I found some telltale burrows in untreated wood blocks I use for RV leveling. Also turned...

    Warning: oil thread

    I know there are threads with folks asking about gear oil vs. SUDT² and axle lube. Picked up the goods to do the 50 hour service in my L today. Told the parts dude what I was doing. He pulled it all from the shelf and brought it to the counter. I asked about the 15w40 oil. He said that it's what...

    Southern States 50 Cetane

    Some of you probably know this. I didn't until recently. Southern States sells off road diesel with a minimum cetane of 50. This particular location I was at had the same flavor for on road as well. The PPG was in line with other local stations. So check your local SS if you have one nearby.

    Compost, Topsoil or both?

    We cleared some land to the side of our house to add a U to the driveway so the RV and trailer can just be driven through. What is not going to be driveway is just dirt now. There was a little topsoil there but not much. It was more thicket than woods. Scrub brush, Holly, prickers and small...

    Used attachment prices?!

    I've been scanning a local farm equipment auction for a decent box blade. There is an auction about 4 miles from me with two 60" box blades. One is a King Cutter and the other is not named. I placed a random bid of $700 on the KC one and was outbid pretty quickly. With the 10% premium and 5%...
