    Who Makes a Trouble-Free 60" Diesel Zero-Turn?

    Scag and ferris are about the best in the zero turn market. Ex-mark are durable but ride rough. Scag cheetah imo is one of the best followed by ferris. I work for one of the big 3 engine suppliers for lawn so I get to field test everything out there. As far as diesel goes, Total waste of...

    Why no starters in Sprint cars?

    Complexity. Adding a starter completely changes the car. I mean completely. Ewsca used to have starter clutch cars. Super winged modified. They were big and heavy. #1 issue is there's no space to put a battery on these cars. Much less add a clutch and change the rear suspension. Here's...

    Carry On trailer wheels

    Hubs are like 20$ on Amazon. Get the ones with bearings and don't look back. Probably won't ever have to replace tires again either

    Loading issues on Dump Trailer

    I have a 8x14 14k that I pull with a f150. I've only once had to much tail weight. But it was a goofy load of wet dirt. It's really hard to load it with to much tail weight. However your wd hitch isn't tight enough if it can't LEVEL out your truck with 1400 lbs. I've had over 20k in my trailer...

    Freezer alarms that are good?

    Anybody have a freezer alarm that they can actually recommend. I have one on the upstairs freezer but the alarm on it is useless. We just lost the freezer in the basement so I want an alarm that is loud enough to hear and or wifi. Everything on Amazon ~$30 I really don't trust but I can't...

    How agriculture works thread

    Silage and chaff vs corn feed. When I had carpal tunnel surgery I had to keep occupied so I played farm sim and never really understood silage. Being wisconsin and having pretty big dairy farms around me some have silage bunkers and other don't. What does fermented silage do for cow food vs...

    Plowing tall grass

    Burn it. It's wide open so no real hazard. All you need is a fire break. If all I had was a plow, I'd section it off in a couple squares with 10 foot plowed edges for a fire break to keep it under control.

    Would you give up a tractor for a skid steer (CTL)?

    I'm meaning jd 110tlb or g-k-m size kubota for the size of tractor.

    Would you give up a tractor for a skid steer (CTL)?

    You bring up an interesting part I didn't specify size of tractor. With a scut and cut you are definitely correct with ctl/ss being tougher, depending on what type of ss. I was meaning a true industrial loader/backhoe in 8-10k lb or 40+ hp range

    Would you give up a tractor for a skid steer (CTL)?

    Not a chance for giving up a tractor for ss or ctl. Overall cost to maintain is insane on a ctl and ss. Bumpy ride and traction sucks. Only thing I see as a plus towards ss/ctl is maneuverability. Almost any attachment for a ss will go on a loader although remote hyd and maneuverability is more...

    trail clearing technique and tools

    That's why I'm asking, the one I have is 26lbs total and I use a shoulder harness but it's still an arm workout swinging this beast around for a couple hours. Moving the weight to the back would make it a little easier.

    trail clearing technique and tools

    Anybody use a backpack style brush cutter. My straight shaft looks like it locked up so looking at getting something else. Biggest use is for cutting thick nasty vegetation. I like the option for a pole saw with the backpack one. I like the fact that the backpack one has 52cc as i have a 45cc...
