    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.

    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...

    Yet another trailer decking question...

    There's no need to kiln dry oak for a trailer deck. I'd let it air dry for a week or two and then bolt it down. If you were making furniture, sure go the kiln dry route.

    dumb question about HST

    My 40 hp HST will keep up with my neighbors 60 hp geared tractor, and we both run 6' mowers. If I get into heavy stuff or need to pull a a hill I don't have to shift, he loses lots of time shifting gears.

    Lost 22% of our IRA/401Ks/Investments

    YTD I'm up 32% and I did suffer a $60K loss in April when my account was automatically rebalanced. The market was down due to the on again off again tariff nonsense. If the account wasn't rebalanced I'd be up more than 37% year to date. Needless to say my annual rebalance option has been...

    Hardie Board Siding?

    I'd give paint one more try, unless you have a considerable amount of wood to replace. Good prep and two coats of quality paint should last for 10 years.
