Please don't assume, they are screwed together as ramps and I drove the tractor up on them. I've done it twice and soon will do it again. The reason I put it on blocks is, because I use 5 gallon pails and I need the room. Edit, also in the winter I would drive on to two blocks on the right...

I'm just curious, how many goats per million acres would it take to do a decent job?

I was going to have 10x10 doors on my pole barn, but my buddy talked me into 12x10 doors. I'm glad I listened to him.

The Air National Guard from Duluth, MN uses the F-16 and they fly over here quite a bit attacking the bridge 3 miles west of me. Plus there's electronics at the small airport in our county that simulates ground attacks on the jets. There's another one in South Dakota.

I have the L3540HSTC-3, same trans as yours. I'm at 853 hours and I'm going to do my 3rd change soon. I use 5 gal pails, the two rear side drains fill less than half of each bucket and I do them first. Then I do the front main one and that is about 4 3/4 gal. I get somewhere around 8+ gal total...

We had a Case Vac 14 and my Dad built a box for the top of the 3pt disc. When we were small we sat on the box, my Dad would stop and we would pick up the rocks, we would get a penny for each. I remember driving the Case when I was young, I had to slide off of the seat to reach the peddles. My...

My cousin and his wife have Spectrum cell service, but wanted to switch to Verizon. When they were at Verizon and tried to download everything from their Spectrum phones to the new one, Spectrum locked up their phones. Then they had to drive 100 miles to fix their Spectrum phone to get them to...

I notice a lot of people pull one log at a time. We always pull as many as we can to save time. The landing might be some distance from the woods. Some will say they don't want dirt on the log, you're going to get some no matter what you do. When bucking up the logs just touch up the chain each...

Check the square miles of water in the top states.

If Congress would have raised the minimum wage every year a certain percentage, instead of leaving at $7.25 since 2009 we wouldn't have the problem with the current minimum wage. According to my inflation calculator app in my cell phone, the minimum should be $10.60 now.

I don't go to burger joints, so I don't care if they pay them $50 an hour. I refuse to think about something I have no control over. Water seeks it's own level, either their pay will go down or nobody will buy the burgers. What will happen, will happen.

My brother gave me some Rockies boots that he couldn't wear. I could see why, the arches were so high just walking 100 ft to the mailbox killed my feet. I never laced them up, just stepped into them when I need to go somewhere in the yard or pole barn to get something. It took me 8-10 years...

Friends of mine, husband and wife worked for a company that made some kind of widget for the car industry. They said working conditions were terrible. They were paid $7.25 and hour. There are many companies like this making widgets for the auto industry in the Detroit area and anywhere else...

In the last 17 years I've had it maybe 3 times, probably not as bad as the rest of you. I don't where the idea came from, but I hold on the wall at the living room doorway and do toe stands. It usually goes away in a few days.

The whole barn is sitting on sand, but the back 2/3 of my PB is on a hill side. The dozer operator built me a very large bathtub with clay and we filled it with 400 yds of compacted sand. Notice the purlins, they are vertical 2x4. Top of the truss are 2x12 and bottom are 2x10. This gives me 100...
