Could be. For a homeowner, or small ranch machine, this is pretty cheap for a 2 year lease.

I bought the 160 acres of timber ground that borders my home. Timing was perfect. Most years I couldn’t have made it work financially. Glad we got it.

No mice around here anymore.

I would use it as you see fit. Letting it sit and not using your tractor is likely harder on it.

Awesome, thank you for the info!

I’m sure it is. This size of generator is not for the faint of heart in regard to operating costs. My machining business uses about 2/3 of the rated output on a normal day. Shutting down the shop is much more expensive than the fuel usage that we’d encounter. I am looking for a suitable load...

Yes, that trailer was quite a score as well. That whole setup is heavy. The old deuce didn’t like pulling it up the hills very much!

It’s a Mack E7, 360HP. Made in 1999, no emissions and is mechanically injected.

Finally found a suitable back up power source for my machine shop. A local municipal agency sent this to auction and I picked it up for what I feel was a steal. 325KW, 3 phase. Total hours are just under 600. We are right in the middle of forest fire country, so the planned outages are...

The only way this works: The owner's manual talks about these links, I made mine. 5-1/2 spacing on the holes.

Here's my simple fix that allows me to use a brush hog on a LP quick hitch: Note- distance between holes is 5-1/2 inches.

We've had much more snow than normal here in western Oregon. My son came home from college for a few days and while he was able to drive 150 miles on paved roads with no problems, he couldn't make it up our driveway even chained up. I needed to start the dozer anyhow so I drug his car up to...

Here's my mom and dad gathering small square hay. Mom is on the 1920 pushing bales into groups of 8 with a homemade accumulator. My dad is picking up the bales with the 7840 using a homebuilt hay grapple. My dad is a very smart man. What you don't see is that I am above them cutting another...

Not a great picture, but I just replaced my BX-2370 with a new L3901. I'm not overly excited about having a final tier 4 machine, but odds are it'll be fine. For a basic little tractor, I think it's pretty nice. I'm hooking my chipper up to it this weekend and we will see how it does.

I bought this one from Anbo. Not cheap but its tough as nails. In 3 years of pretty hard use, I've only broken one hose. It is pretty heavy for my M7040.
