    Vasey Grass!

    I think have the correct herbicide but you read it carefully. It is not approved in some areas but it will kill vasey and not harm bermuda.

    Toothed bucket vs bolt on tooth bar?

    I have only had smooth buckets. On my current Kubota (L6060) did get a teeth bar (no idea the brand) bolt on design. For removing plants or digging in hard dirt like the tooth bar on. Otherwise don't need the extra weight nor the extra length and want a smooth bottom on the bucket. Getting dirt...

    Thoughts on a PTO tiller & uses?

    I am a "I rather do it myself" person. I have some experience with tiller and on slope and on soil that had never been tilled on top of that. Had been timber land and trees cut, and stumps dug about four years earlier. I took it slow and shallow. I ran up and down the slope, but I would have...

    Cutting back trail sides. Lane shark/sickle/flail?

    Do know this tree (yaupon) but if not a hardwood I think a sickle bar mower would work if you keep it cut at least once a year. If you have true hardwoods...oak I think could whip a bar cutter. If you look at "tractor time with tim" ttwt on youtube, he has a sickle mower on front end loader and...

    I am not a surveyor but have hired them several times. In my area we about fall over the surveyors. lol. Then a lot of land is being broken up into lots as tons of people are moving here.

    Sequence for implements when improving raw cleared land

    Not the biggest fan of Roundup. Here 24D controls brush and broadleafs better than Roundup. This is a question, here we use lime to lower soil ph. Do they also use lime there. Just trying to still learn. I have use a walk behind tiller and now have about a 7 foot for my tractor. While I...

    How do y'all feel about Frigidaire vs. GE vs. Whirlpool

    I am not profession to be an expert. Fifty years ago I worked on all home appliances including water heaters and window air conditioners. At that time knew a good bit on the central A/C units but never worked on one. Since then so many brands have disappeared. Some were bought and some just...

    A computer wifi problem

    If it does not have a wifi card in it you can get one that plugs into a USB port. I am using one on tower and it is two interior walls away and about 40 feet at least. Now there is a door in each of those walls. I use my wife a lot as much of my work is on the web.
