I picked up a disc harrow to go with my TC30 a few months ago, and I finally got a chance to use it. Here is the problem. The right lift arm likes to bend at the point the sway bar is bolted into it. I'd say it bends inward a quarter inch or so from that point. I took it off after I first...

Hello everyone. I've been working hard on my garden for this year. Pictures coming soon. It's turning out really good. On to topic. I recently received a job offer. Some guys want me to use my gardening tools to help them put in their spring wildlife food plots. I'm "somewhat"...

I picked up a Brinkman charcoal smoker (It is the small round smoker.) yesterday and tried it out this afternoon. Wife wants me to do a big B-B-Que on the 1st, so I thought I'd try it first. However, I do not want to cook with charcoal briquets. I want to cook on oak. So this is what I did...

Now this is a subject that I know nothing about. However, I'd like to try. There is a creek that runs maybe a hundred yards from my corn patch. This garden itself is narrow, stretches maybe a hundred yards also. I'd like to move some of this free running water to where it could be of some...

What a difference wheels make! I've been manhandling my rotary cutter around my shop for some time. I knew that if I kept this up, I'd eventually hurt myself, so the other day I got the bright idea to buy a furniture dolly for the front of it while visiting TSC. This made a huge difference...

The TC30 continues to impress me. It certainly is one stout tractor, little as it is. Yesterday, I tackled a project that had been growing, literally, for the past four years. One of the pastures had begun to be taken over with saplings. They were unwelcome. However, until this past spring...

Looking for used disc harrow that a 30 hp tractor could handle. Anyone have a favorite web store for used equipment?

Looking at the Husqvarna 455 Rancer 18" chainsaw. Any owners or those who know of it?

This weekend I visited the TSC and picked up a sun shade by a US company called TuffTop. You can find them on the web at TuffTOP : The Smartest Sun Shade on the Market . They come in a variety of colors, though the one I purchased is white. It seems to be a nicely constructed yet light weight...

OK, here is what I'd like to do. Some years ago, we had a pond expanded and the dirt was just spread on the existing dam. This made it high, in some places 4 feet above water level. Also, erosion caused the top to become rather narrow. I've never liked the result of this project, and would...

I just cleaned up and gave the NH tiller a few shots of grease since using last weekend. The left-hand side has a zerk, yet the right does not. Is the right a sealed bearing, or does the gear-oil bath take care of it? I worked a nice amount of trash, grass, sand, etc. out of the groove where...

Well, this weekend we had them both in the field: I with my NH, and my brother with his KK. The obstacles included four food plots. Two were of 1/2 acre in size and the other two were each ¼ acre. One of the smaller plots was virgin ground. One of the larger had not been cut in over a year...

Some of you may remember the photos of my garden I posted earlier. Now I live in a neighborhood, and my garden consists of eleven raised beds that are 4' x 20' all located in the back corner of my yard. For a little weekend fun, My wife asked me to let our 5 year-old daughter sale tomatoes to...

Since a few of you did such a nice job of talking me into a sprayer, I thought I'd tell you about my next interest, one of those ATV mounted spreaders. This unit is not a must, just a want. Instead of having to tow the tractor all over when fertilizer needs to applied to food plots etc., it...

I'm thinking of adding a sprayer to my arsenal and have looked at both tractor driven and atv driven units. Since I don't have huge areas that may need spraying with roundup, etc, the tractor units might be a little much. I'm thinking of 1/2 to 1 acre projects. With that being said, both the...
