    Good to hear.

    Kubota keeps stalling out

    Yup, don't fiddle with the others any more than necessary. Best, ed

    Kubota keeps stalling out

    NORMALLY this is simple reduced fuel flow, could be in the lines, the filter, various pumps or the fuel pick up in the tank. Goofing with the injectors was probably a little cart before the horse, but, no sense in harping on it, but, it is probably the source of the banging you have now. Pull...

    Stupid Things I Have Done

    I am oddly surprised at number of stupid things I have done (and forgotten). Seems like every story reminds me of two of my own. I won't tell any of my motorcycle stories, but, one on my buddy. Known the guy since third grade, still good friends, and he is one of the best riders I have rode...

    Stupid Things I Have Done

    I'm sorry... I did the same thing with the boom on an x, but the door didn't come down. If a person was trying to catch that dumb cord on purpose it would take an hour:)

    Shred or Spray

    You got some great guidance (sorry a little late). Best advice was get your county extension involved, they know the area, and you pay for them, and my experience is they like to help. Goats are great if you have the fence for them. Shredding will help/work if you can time it correctly, in my...

    135 acres

    I could have missed (I did read all of them), but...... Are you planning to row crop or pasture/hay? If you are going to try and turn over some of that and raise corn/beans/milo you are going to need near a hundred horse tractor. If you are going to cow calf or hay (or both), you probably only...

    Removing poly twine from fields

    LOL, I normally just drive through the field with the shredder, anything it doesn't catch seems to wrap around the rear axle!! Someone suggested burning, I would do that and harrow until I didn't find much more. Best, ed

    Warranty vs Proven Reliability

    I love u man, but, you have not had the luck I have had with stuff failing a week after warranty expires:) Seriously though, I worked with enterprise computer hardware. EVERY component we built or bought to be in our gear had a mean time to failure, and warranty, and maintenance contracts were...

    The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

    Isn't it weird to know you are the last of something? I am not all doom and gloom on the future, but, it sure seems like the younger folks will have less choices on how to make a living than we did. Best, ed

    Need advice on re-surfacing gravel road.

    Certainly could have more detail of what you want to accomplish. That said, drainage is always the main thing, leave what you have, and go up. Get the road bed above the ditches as much as is practical. Removing the existing, will need to be replaced with purchased material. Breaking up the...

    Stupid Things I Have Done

    Not to steal your story, but reminded me........... When I was 30 something blew a disk in my neck, was killing me for months, flew out of state for surgery. Week after return, had to take my old shepard to the vet, he went to jump in the back of the truck to go home and didn't quite make...

    Stupid Things I Have Done

    Made a very nice table for my wife! $200 for saw mill, $600 for a planner. She now has a great table (worth probably $500). Best, ed

    Bought another ECHO...

    I have the timber wolf, it is a good consumer saw. The Makitta is a beast and competes well with pro saws, I don't think there is a comparison. Best, ed

    Stupid Things I Have Done

    I hope I haven't posted this before (dangers of being old). Just a couple of years ago when I got my x I was prowling around the farm at 2 mph looking for something useful to do. Found a little thicket of brush and cedars around a big old oak tree. I pulled all the cedars and brush. Rooted...
