backfill: The U-27 is still impressing me. Yanked and lifted that entire section of sidewalk with ease. I bounced it off the road to break it. I just couldn't heave the whole slab into the back of the dump in one shot.

On to an emergency sewer line in the am. Seems like the guys got some equipment stuck in the line while doing a trenchless spot repair. It will no longer be "trenchless" after I get there. 😁
I sure was impressed with my U-25.

Unloaded some drill stem pipe, 31' long, with the forks, easypeasy. Paid $85.00 each, compare that to buying new pipe!

Spent the last 2 days working out the M4050 putting in my final spring plantings - pumpkin patch and deer food plots . The first 2 areas are the least rocky on my property so I broke up the soil with a subsoiler, then pulled the cultivator and finally tilled. Spread fertilizer and planted (sunflowers, rye & buckwheat) the 'flat' field, fertilized, hilled and then sprayed pre-emergent on the pumpkin patch. Planting today or tomorrow.

First pic is the pumpkin patch with the hills and reclaimed field below. 2nd is a field I reclaimed that was full of walnut saplings. Took out the trees and heavy vegetation in late winter, burned with glyphosate a month ago and got the soil turned, tilled and planted (rye and buckwheat). The last 2 pics are the M4050 with the cultivator I found & refurbed and added 2 bedding discs which worked pretty well.

My early sunflower planting and food plots that I planted buckwheat in late April haven't done so well with 0" of rain in the past 3 or so weeks, but hopefully they will recover with the rain called for this week.

I tried, but she was not interested at all. 🤷‍♂️

I mowed with that as a kid and it has pulled trailers here for many years. I do plan to get it running but haven’t put any time into figuring out what’s wrong with it. It sounds like it has good compression so it will most likely run again at some point.
If I had the space and the time, that would have been a great project! Sadly I'd need something turnkey that needs minor stuff because I barely have time to maintain what I currently own lol.

Quick sewer line issue. After several attempts to get this line patched with the trenchless tools (trenchless spot repair) the bladder got stuck in the line. So, I got the call to get it out of there.

Where did you find drill stem for $85 a stick?
My fence contractor has been negotiating from $150/stick down to $105/stick for about a year.
I need 1712 linear feet just for top rail. :eek:

Moved more wood today with the H.F. trailer and the little b. got the wood from some racks in the side yard into the "drying/seasoning pile" in the front yard. That sees the most sun and cross wind.Probably 6-8 heaping loads in the trailer and only found one snake 🐍 🙄. I am not a fan (of snakes), mostly the suprise factor, even if they are good rodent control, except we found another family of mice in the wood pile this morning alive and well. if I'm gonna have snakes I better not have mice and if I'm gonna have mice I wouldn't mind having no snakes, but alas I have both

Throw in some CCR, Steppenwolf, Doors, Aerosmith while you’re at it.

Meanwhile, back on track. Didn’t do anything on the Kubota the last two days because I was busy cleaning up the mess I made with it. Pressure washed the driveway and sidewalk to remove all the tracks and clay from the parking expansion project. The missus made me throw away my favorite (really old) pair of sneakers. They were only 6 years old. They went to Scotland, Ireland, and Australia and have given me countless hours of service in the yard. Farewell and adieu my old New Balance 608’s. Did I mention that bleach and dead algae stink like bad fish?

Still digging holes and making the rotten wood poles stronger with steel I-beams. Can't believe the stuff this shed has collected in 60 years. I did leave the weird looking wires alone(asbestos covered?).

I like the cans of primer and glue taped together with red tape.
They are easy to see, and do not fall over as readily.

Where did you find drill stem for $85 a stick?
My fence contractor has been negotiating from $150/stick down to $105/stick for about a year.
I need 1712 linear feet just for top rail. :eek:
Last weekend I was the winning bidder on a lot of ten 20ft pieces of 4" Sch.40 pipe (galvanized) which looks like it might have been used for a pivot irrigator or something. I got the lot for $108 which works out to be $0.54/ft.

Drill stem is regularly for sale up here on Craigslist and similar. Here's a typical price range.

  • 3/4” sucker rod 25’ lengths, 50 per bundle. 15.00 per rod
  • 7/8” sucker rod 25’ lengths, 50 per bundle. 17.00 per rod
  • 1” sucker rod 25’ lengths, 50 per bundle. 19.00 per rod
  • 2-3/8” pipe 40’ lengths, 1/4” wall thickness. 80.00 per stick
  • 2-7/8” pipe 32’ lengths, 1/4” wall thickness. 85.00 per stick
Here's another listing in my area.

  • 2-3/8" X 31' STICKS OF DRILL STEM. $74.00 EACH
  • 2-7/8" X 31' STICKS OF DRILL STEM. $90.00 EACH
