    Trailer size needed to haul tractor

    You'll need at least a 20ft trailer and part of the bush hog will likely hang off the back.

    Long term planning of selling your home?

    I can't see selling a paid off property only to have a mortgage at today's rate when I'm retired. When I'm retired the one thing I definitely don't want is a mortgage. How big is your current home and property?

    Stihl or Echo top handle saw?

    Echo saws flood my local FB marketplace. We have a lot of people buying Home Depot return pallets and reselling on marketplace, most are pretty much new condition. I would start my search there if you want a used saw.

    Jinma gland nut removal wtf

    No way those will work on a tight gland nut. 4ft pipe wrench is the best way to go. Yeah you might get some indentions on the nut, but that's replaceable.

    Jinma gland nut removal wtf

    I used this for the gland caps on my skid steer. It worked well, but it will likely leave indentions on the cap. https://www.harborfreight.com/locking-chain-clamp-36813.html

    Brand new Kioti rx7320 Dead in the water

    Let the dealer and your warranty handle it. It's a man made machine regardless of how much you spent on it. Stuff breaks, gets past quality control at the factory and you'll have to deal with it.

    Ritchie Bros. Auction

    I like that you can go to yard and run the equipment before an auction. I wouldn't buy from a RB auction unless the item is new or I had a chance to view it beforehand. If you're in the TX/OK/KS/MO area I much prefer purple wave auctions.

    Anyone go back to a flip phone?

    Nope. I love having a smart phone. I use it too much in my daily life. I'm not dependent on it, but it is nice to have. You control the technology, don't let it control you.

    bar oil test

    There's a lot of carcinogens we come into contact with every day. Unless someone is licking used motor oil off their fingers, just wear gloves and move on.

    Purchasing my first sub-compact. Massey Ferguson or Bobcat?

    I own a ct4058, their biggest open cab. I would stay away from Bobcat unless you completely trust your local dealer and their mechanics. I don't think Bobcat is here to stay in the tractor game. I haven't had any issues with mine in 170hrs but my dealer seems clueless about these tractors and...

    Searching for a truck I may never find?

    The good thing about the 6.0 is that they're cheap and you can still work on them. It's a 20 year old engine design and all the bugs are known and the fixes are known. If you work on your own vehicles they're a cheap diesel option. If you have to take them to a mechanic then a 6.0 can break you...

    Anyone ever pulled a PTO shaft out of a1974 Ford 3000

    I experienced the same thing as you when I pulled I my PTO shaft from my Ford 3000. It's been a while but I believe I had to remove the top cover to finally get it out.

    Moving Equipment Long Distance

    Check out u-ship. Paying someone to haul that much equipment won't be cheap.

    Finally bought a small generator.

    I have a 9kw generator that runs my entire home including two ac units. Have soft starts installed on both ac units to lower the inrush current. All lighting inside and outside my home is LED now, so very little current used there. With an interlock installed it makes a world of difference and I...
