    Large lawn improvement

    10 acres is a lot to do anything with without spending a fair amount of money. It sounds like the grade or smoothness of the lawn is satisfactory to you or you would be working it up and starting from scratch which adds up in a hurry grass seed alone would be pricey. I would start out with some...

    Ford Maverick Pickup?

    Looks like the Maverick would be a good fit for him, getting back to original post. I ordered one back in 2022 but took too long to arrive, ended up with a Honda Ridgeline off the lot. I admit it cost about $10,000.00 more than the Maverick I had ordered but I have to say I it is roomier, comes...

    Polaris or CF Moto?

    I have to agree with a lot of the opinions on here, how long they will be around, they have been around a while now. Why they keep updating or changing models, last time I talked to a salesman he was claiming CF studied how we used them in the states and found they were building things too light...

    Best string trimmer string.

    So what were the results? She was referring to string that sat a long time even at the dealer? I have never tried it but plan on if string seems to be breaking too often which mine seems to be breaking more than I like and is a few years old. She does make a lot of videos, can't blame her it...

    That is what I thought when I heard his story but I am certain he was being truthful was good on him for having good documentation.

    Tractor in shop for 100 days

    I never dealt with the BBB but talked to a guy that had a 2019 Chevy pickup that gave him nothing but trouble. Engine and transmission he got it fixed under warranty but they never could get the transmission right GM finally said they were done with him. He contacted the BBB, he had all...

    Tractor Hours/Year

    My 2008 DX 40 only has 456 hours, owned it since new, but I would hate to be without it mostly used for snow these days.

    Best string trimmer string.

    If you watch Chickanic on you-tube she also says soak it in a bucket of water it dries out over time.

    Are ATVs/UTVs overpriced?

    I thought I would never own one either way overpriced bought a used Yamaha Wolverine 850 SxS liked it for the most part but was too hot in the summer with the cheap zip up doors that seemed like they wouldn't last. So I sold it 5 months later during Covid and made a decent profit. Then I meet...

    Roof Ridge/Cap Wind Driven Leak

    I would think if you only blocked a few smaller areas of the ridge vent it not be enough to be noticeable and no side effects you would want to be sure the fasteners are not loose though.

    JD 1530 will not stay in reverse

    Good point, basically any pivot points in the shift lever wear over time so there will be several wear points. On my tractor the shift lever moved forewared and back plus side to side there was noticeable wear in those pins also contributing to the sloppyness of the shifter.
