    How long should things last?

    I'm always surprised that some of the music that I thought was late 70's, was early 70s or older. Who wears short shorts?

    Grease - is there no better way? Can we talk about this?

    I've had 3 Kubotas Somebody should have smacked me before I let the wife buy the 3rd. None have been comfortable and all have had a bunch of lube points

    Grease - is there no better way? Can we talk about this?

    I used to think about getting new grease in my 5 gallon grease bucket that refilled hand grease guns. Wish I had done it years ago. Easier and faster than changing a tube of grease. Best used with a grease gun that the rod comes out as the grease gun is filled Never have an air problem...

    Grease - is there no better way? Can we talk about this?

    I like the manual hand squeeze on sealed bearings. I can feel when it's full. On my old stuff, it often takes several pumps. My 6' mower deck is a 1986 and I've never changed a spindle or ujoint. We grease every time we mow. 1 to 7 acres at a crack.

    What about ditches? Or water after a rain? Can they detect and stay out of it?

    Skidder or Tractor? If you could only have one.

    Where I want to level, I don't have room for all that. Neither the backhoe or Little Kubota LX2610 fit well. I'd never buy less than a 40 hp again. I find the LX2610 to be worthless. My wife wanted me to have something that didn't need worked on. That only lasted until it needed serviced...

    Welder Recommendations

    Skip the 6013 and go with 7018. It's much easier to control. This welder gets good reviews. I was going to buy one to replace a Miller Thunderbolt I sold my brother. I still.might. if it was going to be a bit, before I can weld again. I'd have bought it already...

    Skidder or Tractor? If you could only have one.

    I'm on the skidsteer side. I've been wanting a skidsteer for leveling dirt for 50 years.

    Hobby Farmer Tractor Lubricants

    In my opinion, full synthetics have been well worth the investment since I started using them in the 1990s. I've noticed the equipment run on full synthetics held up better, especially as it got older, than stuff ran on Dino. We got over 300,000 miles on all of our old 6.5 diesels.

    Which jumper cables

    4 ga. Isn't heavy. I prefer at least 2/0. 25' I've had to park behind a Suburban to jump it. If it had been the Dually Crew Cab 8' bed, the 25' cables would not have been long enough.
