I have an L3200 that has loaded tires and ballast in the rear and it takes all of that to push a 7' plow with a manual angle. I plow about 1/2 mile of gravel road and 2 large drives. I was thinking about a pusher before I bought this skid steer manual angle plow. It is much faster than a...

Been very dry here for the past few days, watering takes me 2 hours by hand, using the tractor to get it close. Planted 120 mounds of pumpkins and squash, and about 75 mounds of cukes, if they come we should be ok. Planted some cukes in a cold frame and they are 4" up already, all others are...

Lately, I have had this thing about buying the best garden hand tools that I can find. It started when I bought a great American seeder by Hoss, then it went on from there. I have found that buying only the best I can find has given me a new appreciation for working in the garden. By ' "the...

I figured I would add a few shots of the wally and the large carry all set up that I use in the FEL with a simple chain and load 3X as much, and can load it from the chute.

Finally broke down and got me a BXM32 for my L3200. All I can say it runs superb, much more powerful than I thought it would be. I went through a pile of brush that I had nearby in about an hour, and made about 3yds of mulch. The shredder is voracious, and will suck in and pulverize anything...

here it is a day later , seems to roll nicely, but I am sure the bushings are worn out. I plan on using it around the farm for simple haulsing light loads, the tongue weight is near my lifting limit.

Thought I would resurrect this old steel wheel wagon dad and I made over 30 years ago. It was sitting in the field for over 20 years just about like we left it, minus the rotted wood. Should be fun project and might give me some wagon capability albeit at slow speeds.

I have a bedder/ cultivator, but I need two more leafs for it. I have a very old homemade one my dad and I fabricated, I may use that after I doctor it up a bit. This is the one I own:

i just bought the Hoss seeder, I can't wait to try it out. my dad bought an earthway 30 years ago, not sure who ended up with it but we used it for many years. It worked better then I thought it would. Figured I'd give this one a try.

got a little excited today being 60 and I started a cold frame, onions and radish hope they come up soon. I am in a learning curve this year, had to transplant all my tomatoes/peppers since they got very leggy. I won't make the same mistake again.

Ok Here is the beginning for now: best I can do as the snow drifts are melting as I write.

here is my set up. It has been working great until I recently broke my ankle as I slipped on some ice. I am laid up now, no longer able to cut any firewood, but this site makes for some good reading.

I finally serviced my new L3200 for the 50 hour required components. The oil change was straight forward, although it would have done me justice to let the oil warm a bit as instructed by the boss. The DT manual tranny only requires a hydraulic filter change, so that is what I did, albeit some...

I have my carry all box on the back, and it weighs about 400 pounds empty. It is perfect for plowing 1/2 of roadway. I have R1 tires (loaded) which I am really glad I got, and it does not slip at all. I am plowing a full blade with snow coming over the top. I would use 500 pounds and skip...
