I was out mowing this past weekend with my F3680 and noticed that the center blade was not cutting the same as the two side blades, especially when cutting thru some thicker/higher grass. I could hear the blade stop turning and definitely see the path of grass that was higher in the middle. I...

I have some on going and future projects where I am considering purchasing either a used skid steer or mini-excavator to help out. I have borrowed both in the past so am somewhat familiar with each machines capabilities but wanted to get some additional thoughts and input from some more...

Some great dog pics here! Here is our newest addition that we picked up from the Humane Society several months ago. He is a Bullidor (a new one on me) and his name is Ford. He is now 7 months old, weighs about 70 lbs. Momma didn't want another dog until she saw him :)

After my wife, I would have to say Sourwood honey is my favorite. Sadly though, I just found out from one of the local bee keepers that the sourwood crop this year is about 10% of what it was last year. Apparently drought in some areas, and significant rain in other areas has contributed to...

I just finished seeding the banks on some new roads I am putting in and used rye grain, winter wheat, oats, creeping red fescue, and red clover. The tracks should hold the seed in. All we did was run over the ground after we seeded it with 4 wheeler, where we could, to give the seed better...

I am currently in the process of having some road work done to improve the 'pig trails' on our property. The roads are on property we have up in the mountains and due to the slope we are using a crown and water bars which are angled to the run of the road, to move the water off of the road...

With my property being up in the WNC mountains, it's a little late for foliar spraying, but I was doing a good bit of cut stump spraying on the oriental bittersweet vines while I was watching the mulchers play :) They had two weeks of pretty nice weather to work in, not to mention it was peak...

Clearing an old field on some adjoining property we just purchased

Some trail clearing too

Thanks to TBN, and the land clearing section I was able to expand my knowledge and make a couple of new friends too. I have been engaged in a war on our property for the past 9 years, battling russian olive, oriental bittersweet, poison oak and ivy, oriental privet, etc, with my tractor...

I have 75 acres that I have been clearing for the past 9 years with a TN75, chainsaws, weed eaters, etc. it's been a slow go since I am only able to work weekends here and there. I'm going to be closing on an additional 175 acres that adjoin the 75 and I've been thinking I'll need a new approach...

I purchased a used Grillo 107d with a BCS 47" sickle bar on it on Sat. The machine supposedly had less than ten hours total on it. Brought it home and used it for about 5 hours and then another two today. Was working a steep hill using forward and reverse when the sickle bar just seized up on...

I have some areas that I am considering hiring out to have someone come in and mulch if I can work it out. Thought I would ask here first if any of you members are located nearby. Hopefully this post isn't out of place. Thanks.

I found an old plow for sale and need some advice as I really don't know alot about plows. Who made this plow? Is it worth $250? What can I expect to have to replace and can I find parts? What are the strenghts and weaknesses of this of plow? Any specific areas I should thoroughly inspect...

Went up to use the TN this weekend and noticed fluid on the right side of the drivers platform. Upon closer investigation, it appears the rear seal on the right brake plunger has given it up as fluid is leaking when the pedal is depressed. Can anyone give me advice/direction on fixing this? Is...
