I have a TL80A new Holland with a cab. I do not have a front end loader on it. I do have a twin spindle 96 inch offset Alamo Mower. Actually it’s a rhino mower. I haul it on a big text 25 foot deck with mega ramps for a total of 30 feet. It’s a pretty tight fit. I’m also overweight on the...

I would check in your area for a place that sells Marine grade Lumber. Bring it home and let it dry. This does two things, it allows the wood to shrink, and it allows the wood to soak up oil. I would then build a box of two by eights or two by sixes longer than the longest boards on my...

My dad grew up on Captina Creek. We went there to look up the house but it was nothing but a pile of bricks. I stole one for my dad. I grew up in Caldwell. I hated going to Woodsfield to play basketball. The court was the stage for the auditorium. If you stepped over the line on the front side...

Vermeer equipment sells the Yanmar mini excavators in Florida. They don’t even paint them industrial yellow anymore. They’re red.

If I had to maintain a large length of road, I would buy a pull behind land leveler has shown in these pictures. You could attach this to the three-point of the tractor and with the hydraulics on the back tip left and right and fine-tune the adjustments up and down. This would eliminate the...

There are several more factors other than the weight of the tractor that would determine the size kind of truck you need. They might include such things as how often are you going to tow it? How far are you going to tow it? Are you towing it as a farmer or is this a commercial enterprise? What...

I am a very simple man. Several of you are quoting government statistics. Lord knows they would never put out false or misleading information. I am in Florida which is growing by leaps and bounds. I have a hot shot trucking business. Therefore I watch the load boards. I only watch the loads...

You might look into a floating excavator. Put a barrier below the jam, and then place the floating excavator up river and disassemble the mess. You might have to pick up some of the stuff places on the barge and then pull the barge over to the shore so that you could transfer the material to a...

I would look for better uses instead of burning them. Are there areas that need erosion control? Wildlife shelters? Wind breaks for the new house? Compost for the garden?

I have a Rhino TW 96. I pull it with the new Holland TL 80 A cab. The mower is a two-point hook up and has a hydraulic offset about 18 inches to the right. Without the offset ability, it would be pretty difficult to trim with this mower. And I truly can’t imagine trying to back up this mower as...

I would pass on the one that you have pictured. It looks to be of the fifth wheel design. That is the front axle turns on a pin sticking down from the frame. Instead look for one that has automotive style turning. That is it has tie rods and tie rod ends and leaves the wheels at the corners as...

I had a similar problem with a massive Ferguson, 1528. Be very cautious as to who you find to repair it. My front axle broke off three times due to poor workmanship on the first repair. I ended up taking it 1000 miles to a shop that I knew, and they repaired the frame and axle and never had a...

I would simply replace the floor with whatever material you’re comfortable working in. Metal if that’s your cuppa tea or wood if that is your strong point. I would then obtain some plastic 55 gallon drums and cut them in half. Attach some rope loops to make up Muck buckets that are easy to slide...

30 years ago, I was able to buy plastic fence posts. They are still upright and straight as can be. If you go to put a new nail in them now however, you got a pre-drill it. But they have held up beautifully. The only problem is, I haven’t been able to find them again. And everything made out of...

I ask him if I could come to see it and 50 minutes he replies that it is sold.
