    Pictures of BIG Trees

    Like so many things in the past, “Taken by fire.” I took some come from away friends around my hometown and I spent more time telling them about what used to be there but that it burned down. Fire, plague and pestilences seen to figure predominantly in our past.

    It would be cool to see a current picture of that tree.

    Cleaning woodstove glass

    Almost dripping wet paper towel followed by a dry one. Generally my stoves burn hot enough for long enough that there isn’t much soot build up.

    Where to Site Ken's Bolt-On Hook on Backhoe Bucket?

    Has anyone installed a receiver on their bh bucket? This would allow for a range of possible connections. Keeping it out of the way but still serviceable would be the trick.

    Interesting observations...

    I have never washed my tractor. It gets greased, maintained, pto and hydraulics capped when not in use and is stored in an open side shed. I treat my tractor as a tool to be respected and cared for. Caked on mud gets rinsed off by driving across the brook. I guess it depends on your relationship...

    Scrapers/Box Blades for 25HP SCUT

    The width of the box blade should just cover your wheel tracks. My 48” box covers my 44” tractor width wheel tracks.

    Can anyone tell me what tractor operation is being done in this video?

    I would say that land is being reclaimed following sand storms. Probably fertile land underneath.

    How many of your friends do NOT have tractors?

    I always though they left the ground cultivated and fertilized. The movement of the pen was the tractor although it moved slow. We moved our’s in strips over an old garden bed in a straight line every few days. By the time the chickens went to the great beyond an old garden spot was revitalized...

    Recommended wood stove brands

    I have 2 Drolets. Both are stellar performers and designed for 2000 sq ft areas. I replace up the door gaskets every year and it keeps the chimney clean. My models require minimal clearances due to insulated sides and back. I have heat pumps for when we are not home.
