    I don't doubt that several years ago things were cheaper... and maybe if you have easy access to suppliers that can fabricate hyd. hoses and provide all the fittings you might do it cheaper. I live 80 miles from a big city in Canada.... the time (and fuel) it would take me to hunt down all...

    Question on Disc Harrow work. . .

    if the disc is paid for, and doesn't cost you any money to keep it (and keep it operational) I wouldn't sell it. plans change, you never know what the future holds... except if you sell it now, and need it again it will cost you more to replace it. if it sits unused for 3 years... then maybe...

    How to maintain wooded walking trails

    I groom my walking trails in the winter using my atv on tracks pulling 3 tires (side walls cut out of bottom) with a 2x10 across the back. the 2x10 is 18" wider then the machine and has 45° cuts on both ends to help "bowl" the trail. I find this works well to pull the air out of the snow and...

    feeling stumped--advice needed

    I just had 2 acres of forest cleared with the goal of pasture. My contractor was supposed to use a mulching head on his excavator (18ton) to mulch everything 4" and smaller down to the ground. Pull the larger trees, mulch the tops, bury the stumps and leave me with log piles. Well.... due...
