The primary difference with the steering wheel option, is that the front wheels are physically controlled and steered. This provides substantial control when mowing hills, as opposed to the traditional caster wheels, that gravity tends to direct down hill, only resisted by the movement of the...

Thankfully he didn't have a load in that trailer!!!

Is it time to consider electric? NOPE It's a solution looking for a problem. Thanks for playing.

i think he's referring to the weight of various implements. Cat 2 implements can be MUCH heavier to man handle for aligning. (y)

These threads are valuable to more than just the OP. I see no reason to stifle relevant responses just because someone dropped off the radar. Sure would be fun to run one of those forestry mulchers, but I've cleared some serious brush and brambles (albeit on a smaller scale) with my Stihl...

I saw one the other day after mowing a field. Mine was a black rat snake too. They're the only type of snake I've run across in northern Kentucky. Neighbors say we have plenty of copperheads and water moccasins (cottonmouths), but I haven't seen any yet. T

I have an Echo 355T that I got pinched in a limb. I gave it a good yank (mistake!!) to free it from the limb, and ended up ripping the handle clean off of the saw. Turns out, there is only a little molded plastic tab that connects the handle to the main body/ case. The repair involved replacing...

People can't believe this crap is EVEN legal. It reminds me of this famous quote: "The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." -Frederick Douglass Americans, and Californians in particular, have tremendous endurance !!!

I just cut a trailer full of 2'-4' tall Honey Locust trees from one of my fields. I moved them directly to the burn pile, which is VERY satisfying. (y)

I've been interested in the Faver grapples due to their open tines. I have big piles of brush to move as well as big flat rocks to dig out and relocate. The open tines seem less likely to hang up with debris constantly. They are on the higher end cost wise, but I subscribe to the "buy quality...

Forestry Suppliers has a huge catalog. They too offer the Spencer tapes mentioned above. Forestry Suppiers Good luck.

Everything Attachments products are wonderfully over built. I am very happy with my box blade. Besides, they're not going out of business. They've been force to remain in their original building a while longer.

What ever model you decide on, look for it on SWAPPA.com first. I've bought three phones there and highly recommend them. I will never buy a new phone from a carrier again. Good luck.

I had to wait 7 months for mine to show up. I'm still waiting for the parts manual. Over a year as of now, for it ....... BTW, it's an excellent workshop manual. Worth the wait. (y)

I think the whole Con-trail vs Chem-trail argument has been framed poorly, and hence exploited as a conspiracy theory. The correct argument may be Con-trails vs geo-engineering/ weather manipulation. There is physical evidence pointing to aerial spraying of chemicals, as well as admissions...
