Hello folks, pretty soon I'll be putting my trusty New Holland TC30 Hydro up for sale. I looked at some listings for used TC30's here: NEW HOLLAND TC30 For Sale at TractorHouse.com Any thoughts as to how much I should ask for it. I have'nt priced a used tractor in about 5 years. I paid about...

In an old thread, you guys can see how much trouble I had acquiring my King Kutter Pallet Mover from TSC. Well, now that I've had it a few years, I realize I'm not using it at all. So, in the interest of regaining storage space, I've listed it on ebay. Funny, how some things you end up...

I have a Gravely Promaster 260Z Zero Turn Mower. It has about 250 hrs on it. Its 4 or 5 years old. My front tires are Titan Super Guide 4 ply. One of the tires went flat after I ran it through a deep rut. The tire was leaking at the bead, so I inflated to 30psi (the max rating) and it...

Hey guys, about five years ago I bought a 7 ft cat 1 back blade that I used for one or two seasons to remove snow from my driveway. Its been sitting in my barn for the last 3 years as I now have a front blade. I also have 6ft landscape rake with gauge wheels. I bought this and used it to...

I have a 97 Chevy Astro van that has two cylinders that hold up the liftgate. They worked just fine until one very cold day last month when they 'surprised' me by not holding up the gate. The still offer resistance on the upstroke but provide absolutely no resistance on the downstroke...

Hey guys, I just picked up a used Chevy Astro van (1997 with ABS) that I plan to use to haul my ATV around. The van has 88,000 miles and the brake pads and components all look good. The brake pedal has a funny feel to it. It stops just fine, but the pedal is extra springy. Its like its...

My wife wants to upgrade the standard 1 inch thick furnace filter to a hi-tech model that will control allergens better. We got a quote on the Trane CleanEffects model. $1,499. Any thoughts on this product ? Is it as good as the Trane website claims ? The installer said he recommends...

I have two maple trees that both have this same deformation on the leaves. Anyone know what it is ? (see pic)

Hey folks, I've been looking at all the various brands of invisible pet fences online. I've noticed that most of them have a dial on the front of the transmitter unit, but none explain what this dial adjusts. (this is the unit that installs in the house or garage) I'm sure somone here knows ...

I bought a Hobart Handler 140 last summer and I'm really loving using a Mig compared to my old stick welder. But lately, I've found that the wire stops feeding. The wire is not birdnesting at the pinch rollers, the pinch rollers simply turn and the wire goes nowhere. I checked the coil...

I've been storing my gas, diesel, and kerosene in my barn. The barn is 24x40 and the gas is kept on a 4ft high shelf in the back-right corner. I also have multiple gas powered equipment in various places throughout the barn. I do a far amount of welding and grinding in the front-left corner...

My neighbor and I just finished building a spraying rig for his NH 1920. Neither of us has ever used a roller pump before so we're not quite sure if the pump is working correctly. Its a Hypro 8 roller pump purchased from TSC. The pump delivers good flow and builds 200 psi. We installed the...

A septic system is quite the mystery. Most of us know how they work. But, how do you know they are actually working. There really is no way to check. Home inspectors just run some water down the drain to see if it goes somewhere. They don't actually know where its going, we're all just happy...

My computer has been acting strange lately. I use a firewall, anti-virus, spyware tools, and Geek Superhero so I'm fairly certain that its not a malicious program. Here's what's happening: 1) System cannot find some programs when I click their icon. 2) Some files have become corrupt 3)...

My family has been presented with the opportunity to take a dog from a friend that can no longer keep him. He is a 3 yr old, male, American Pit bull, 45 lbs. He is friendly with their children and two other dogs. They have moved into a small home with their parents and there is no room for...
