    Equipment security cameras

    Whatever you do, just be sure to get real time uploads to the cloud or your phone. My cousin had vandalism/thievery going on at the old homeplace deep in the woods. He put up a low end basic deer cam and of course they stole it as well. If only it had the cellular feature they would have been...

    Call before you dig

    The fiber optic here (in the country) is in orange plastic tubing. They ran the tubing off of a big reel trailer and used some kind of machine with a long point, that ran it deep and without trenching. I picked up some of the discarded tubing (small pieces) off of the ground after they...

    Talk me out of an excavator!

    I bought the Kubota U35 pictured in my avatar a few years ago with about 450 hours on it. It was in the mid $40,000s. I wanted a thumb and the adjustable blade and an enclosed cab. It has the rabbit feature but travels really slow even then. I really haven't used it much only 515 hrs on it so...

    How are actual sale prices vs MSRP currently for Kubotas (or other manufactures)?

    Keep in mind that the larger JD tractors (I don't know about the compact sizes) such as the 6155 require a JD serviceman to fix about anything. Almost everything is fixable only thu their laptop computer. Even their brand of add on flood lights .Service tech said that the dealer installed...

    What could have caused this ???

    Doesn't look like wind to me . It looks like an object ripped it, Maybe something fell off an airplane, satellite etc.. I'd look around the adjoining area for an object. If it doesn't looked burned then I'd rule out a meteor. The sound is strange. wonder if it was from the ripping or something...

    I got a dump truck! How does it work?

    Last comment about the power lines - seriously true. Last week a driver of a dump truck got into a powerline 7 miles from here. Truck's trailer caught on fire and burned up . He's alive but will need skin grafts and in hospital for a month they say. If it happens , don't touch ground and...

    Keeping mice out of your tractors engine bay over the winter and summer too.

    Agreed. The cat eats a mouse with the poison and the cat will likely die. I've seen it happen. We have 3 fixed cats at our barn fun of cow feed ( ground corn, cotton seed, hominy , hay etc) and now, no mice for very long. I love watching the cats wait patiently for the mice to move and then...
