    Outside storage for attatchments: How to keep the weeds down?

    The expensive stuff, (about one third) is stored inside, another third is parked on a concrete pad and the remainder sits on pressure treated boards. The pt boards also keep things from sinking into the ground. I tried wood pallets but they rotted out after a couple of years. If you can...

    Anyone have a MechMaxx 3-pt stump grinder?

    Slow and steady with small bites. I agree the clutch is too tight, it needs to slip before taking out the tractor. Had a neighbor that ignored his slip clutch, he no longer has a working rear pto. The tractor needs to be split.....

    Dog Hair - Read at your own risk!

    We've always had Newfies, (double coat). They shed year round and really blow coat in the spring. They get brushed daily and we have a robovac running daily. At least once a week the robovac quits due to the hair buildup. The current rescue Newfie loves to be groomed, (good thing....). He's...

    Sicilian with Pepperoni and "Less Sauce"

    Well done, veggies under the cheese and meat on top, PERFECT. I'm going to try that cooking method with my grill/smoker.

    Anyone have a MechMaxx 3-pt stump grinder?

    Got mine last Friday as scheduled. Two hours to un-assemble the crate and put the chip guard, chainsaw bracket, adjust the clutch and put the PTO on. I've already ground a few stumps. Easily the best money I've spent in a long time. Time will tell, but I think this will do everything I need...

    Anyone have a MechMaxx 3-pt stump grinder?

    I got the same confirmation email. Funny thing, shipping had already started before I confirmed my email and address.

    Anyone have a MechMaxx 3-pt stump grinder?

    I just bought one on Tuesday and paid the $30 for a guaranteed delivery date/time. It will be here next week. I'll post back with a review. I have lots of stumps to grind.

    Anybody going to PT from the Mid Atlantic area? Need Stump grinder picked up.

    Had a friend in a similar situation, (Texas to Tennessee). It was cheaper for him and his wife to do a one day Hertz pickup rental, with unlimited miles. ~$300 for the rental + $300 for gas vs $1,200+ from uship. Personally I would have gone the uship option.

    Thinking about a 9n.

    Stop thinking and go buy it. You cannot go wrong, it's priced right.

    Entry level California home costs up 88% since 2020.

    Seniors is defined as 65 and older. Us younger retirees don't see any benefit.

    Dog Harness that does not suck.

    The key is proper fit and adjustment. Too much slack and the harness will pull away from the center of the chest. Here's the one we're using successfully with our Newfy - PetSafe Easy Walk No-Pull Dog Harness. XL barely fits. Easy on, easy off, with just a single quick click connection at...

    2025 gardens

    My tomatoes in raised beds are looking good, 4' high and lots of flowers. The tomatoes in the ground are looking poorly, less than 2' high and no blossoms yet. We've had some lettuce, peas, onions and radishes so far. Cukes and tomatoes are weeks away.

    Any experience with extended warranties for F250 size vehicles for towing?

    Put the cost of the extended warrantee into an interest bearing account, if you need it, the money is there. If not, you're further ahead down the road. Most people never make a claim, (certainly nowhere near their premium cost). The only one making out is the extended warrantee companies...
