The grass is for looking at after you use MSMA not for animals to eat. https://tvmdl.tamu.edu/case-studies/msma-monosodium-methyl-arsenate-is-not-for-pasture-use/#:~:text=MSMA%20is%20very%20water%20soluble,and%20continues%20to%20be%20ingested.

I broached my hub for the blade and set the keyway. Also gathered the stainless tubing needed to support the ID of the pass through for the gear box. I need to make them for the bolts so they are tight against steel vs crushing tubing. I also came across the right lovejoy couplings for...

I have a forklift mast I wanted to do that with but never have. I did make my last hay spike so it could be used with pallets though. It has a better reach than my fork lifts. Like moving a fridge over the steps up to a deck or setting something into the back of a truck past the tailgate...

One mans junk is another mans treasure. Why not just sell it? Recoup some of your loss and give someone else something to do. You could make more off of it than scrap prices, even if someone just needed a single part off the machine.

Mine do too but they have 3 pedals, the center is brake w/out decouple from trans and the left is an "inching pedal" created just for the situation you describe.

A gopher plow would be much more effective and faster. I made this one that makes a tunnel below ground and drops a thimble sized amount of poison seeds very 3ft at a presst but adjustable depth. The 1" shaft below the hopper has a blind hole in it that rotates when the depth stop wheel is...

Yeah, I have built a lot of stuff many probably couldn't even maintain. If you are having to pay someone to repair something that is much more prone to fail all the time, might as well just pay someone to haul your stuff around. Now a flat bed wrecker has much more proven parts, less prone to...

Reminds me of the old doctor joke. "I told my doctor that I broke my arm in two places. He told me to stop going to those places." If you really want to find it vs avoid doing it, just douse small areas until you cause failure again, to find the exact location. First thought would be to keep...

I have polished headlights that have done that and got them back and made them better. Looking at them is a lot different than looking through them though. You can curve Lexan polycarbonate as well as Acrylic. If nothing ever contacted the window to break it, tempered glass would still be my...

It is nice but it has many parts that can fail that most other trailers do not. Batteries, switches, air bags, air compressors, hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder, gages, even the E track can catch debris that make it more difficult to use unless cleaned out. Simply more to go wrong and stop you.

This one is very easy to load and secure loads. And it's built like an anvil, if they had hundreds of moving parts and relied on batteries. It is easy to use though.

I want that trailer too. As is I have lots of them. Flat, tilt, dump, bumper, gooseneck... The more a trailer does the more that can go wrong with it. Add features is adding things that can fail. It's worth it until something that isn't really needed fails and you have to fix something you...

They won't understand what you want them to do and you won't understand what they want to do.

If nothing else there will be less pounds per square inch imparted into the ground without a full size human. If you can't walk on the ground, it might be sketchy. For that and steep angles, I'd imagine one like this would work best.

Looks like my rectangular tubing might be overkill.
