    Making gas cans great again

    Preventing spills but burning what does happen to spill--is there an advantage to putting potential pollutants in the air instead of the ground?

    Making gas cans great again

    And probably made in China. And from I’m seeing here, some leak. My screw doesn’t. If I lose it, I have several spares…

    Ditch Bank Flail mower

    Thanks, but got response, "Couldn't find that."

    Making gas cans great again

    On my 5-gallon can, I drilled a small hole at the location where they show the push-in cap, then put a screw in it--loosen or remove the screw to pour. Cheap and no leaks. (American-made screw, by the way! Unlike all the replacement nozzles from you know where!)

    Grass build up

    I had seen an Exmark Quest S with steering wheel on the internet. Further research today shows they made it for a couple of years, ~2014-2016, but stopped producing. Supposedly CC has patent and no one can produce with steering wheel. ??

    Grass build up

    I have the same issue with the 54" deck on the XTS54 Ultima--even with new blades, there is a strip left where the grass is not cut as low, not high but enough to be noticeable. Mine is a steering wheel model (due to shoulder problems), another neighbor has an older steering wheel model while...

    Grease - is there no better way? Can we talk about this?

    Tried the horizontal storage. The oil that stays in the gun then runs out when you are using it, dripping onto everything beneath. If you happen to be laying under a piece of equipment, guess what's beneath...

    General lawn mowing with 54” deck

    The difference I've seen recommended is 1/8" to 1/4" higher in rear than front.

    Suggestions for a post hole digger?

    I can understand why you didn't go that route!

    Suggestions for a post hole digger?

    Have you considered renting a skid-steer with an auger? One big advantage is the unobstructed visibility and control of the auger.

    John Deere or Kubota mower

    stucknutz, I agree. I've had both Kubota and JD and overall have found the JD to be better. For mowing, I currently have a Cub Cadet steering wheel zero turn but my old JD X500 does better mowing. I have bad knees so I much prefer the dual pedals on the JD to the treadle pedal. If the JD has...

    Hybrid Rotary Cutter Proof of Concept

    I'm jealous of your terrain! Rotary mowers, which most refer to as bush or brush hogs, are primarily used for clipping/clearing ground that is very undulating, with saplings, rocks, etc. For fields that are smooth and clean enough to set once and go, we usually cut for hay or use a finish...

    Hybrid Rotary Cutter Proof of Concept

    Thanks for the reply. From my perspective, the additional strains on the much more expensive tractor, especially lighter SCUT and CUT tractors, would eventually lead to greater costs than one additional wheel and better CV joints for the mower. But I'm not privy to info that I'm sure you are...

    Hybrid Rotary Cutter Proof of Concept

    Hey Runner, I would think just the opposite--the u-joints would stay more in a straight position instead of having to flex up and down when the 3-point is raised/lowered. There are definite advantages with being able to raise the 3-point, but I was able to raise the trail type I had with...

    Hybrid Rotary Cutter Proof of Concept

    Great work and great idea; good luck with future progress in marketing. On a related matter, I question why trail- or pull-type rotary cutters are not readily available, if at all, for SCUTs and CUTs -- in my experience, the vibration from a rotary cutter is not transferred to the tractor...
