We woke up to 2" and still coming down here in SW VA. Freezing rain forecast tonight. Plow before the rain? Locals are debating, with most saying wait. My prior experience inclines me to plow before ice.

I do have quite a bit of weight on the back in a Heavy Hitch rack. What's a yellow edge?

RJ, I appreciate all the info. The polyethelene edge sounds great! When you plow with it or when you used rubber, do you tilt the blade back at all (curl) to get a better cut or less wear on the edge?

Thank you, bmaverick! In the last picture, what is that yellow cutter, a home depot plastic board too?

Inexperienced snow mover here who is dealing with snow in SW VA after two snowless winters in a row. So I'm also rusty. I need advice, ideally from folks who use a snow plow blade with a rubber edge on asphalt. On my Kubota B2601, I have a B2672 front mount on my loader arms with a 5-foot snow...

Long story short, I am getting rid of my 42" cut zero turn because of issues on modest slopes. I am looking to replace it with the Cub steering wheel type ztr. I'm fine with the 42" cut I currently have, due to tight spaces, lots of small trees to circle, and not that much grass really to mow...

Ha! What you don't see is that the floor is COVERED with tools. Got them off and attacked the surface, covered with dirt, mouse turds, sawdust. I swept it and then swabbed it with Simple Green. Once the magnets come this week, I'll hang them and unload a couple wrench rolls, plus lots of...

Wall Control is sturdy steel pegboard available in various colors, and it's helping me get control of my workbench in the tractor shed. I picked orange to honor my Kubota, with some blue fixtures like the paper towel holder. Nicely painted, Wall Control looks more expensive than it is. Internet...

At least with a tractor, you have a slim chance of shooting between the wheels if it's freewheeling. Why does it not have a deck over the tracks at the door? Is it looks, because it does look cool? Or because a deck would cause a massive snow/ice jam?

When I got my new B2601 two years ago with my first R14s, I asked the salesman what psi I should run. "Twenty pounds, all around!" he said. Not sure what the sidewall says, but it turns out that's about what my owner's manual says for R14s. 20 up front seems to work good for the loader—when...

Thanks Roadworthy and oosik. There were several niggling problems with my tractor from dealer setup, but I am pretty sure the plastic dipstick had two indicator pegs. My theory is there was a flaw in the plastic. I'm thinking I "should" change the fluid and filters but that if it was going to...

Arly, I told my wife about all this and she speculated that bananas might be so easy to digest, compared with apples, say, that they hit your system all at once.

Today I was doing a fall service on my B2601, and when I checked the hydraulic oil I noticed the tip of the dipstick appears to have been sheared off. There are supposed to be two indicator pegs—as I recall and from watching YouTube videos of others' services—and the bottom one is gone. The end...

ArlyA, you know more about diabetes than me. But for those who are not diabetic, or maybe are pre-diabetic like I was: a medium banana is 105 calories. Compared to much of what people eat, including fatty meat and processed carbs, that is a low cal snack or meal component. Seven corn chips are...

Daugen, I don't know about Truvia. For sweetening I use Stevia, made from a South American plant that has zero calories but is very sweet. Apparently our bodies don't know what to do with it and dump the calories. I use Stevia sold by Splenda, the artificial sweetener company, for no particular...
