Oh definitely. But there's burning, and there's burning. Recently my wife asked me to torch an old raised bed area. First weedwhacked it, raked it, then used the 400k BTU propane weed torch, thoroughly. Looked great. Leaf raked it again and it looked like I hadn't even started the torching...

I'd put at least a bit of soil down; burn piles really sterilize the area and destroy the soil.

I spread some soil last spring and then a bunch of old wildflower seeds found in the garden shed. Had to put a fence around it so the chickens wouldn't use it for their dust bath like they've been doing for the past ten years... Lots of stuff grew in it but I'm going to need to throw some sort...

Looking at some train videos on this thread led me down the rabbit hole of crazy train videos and I found stuff about these crazy tracks:

I have a cheapazz grease gun I got from the local napa auto parts, or maybe HF idk, and I don't have a problem using it with one hand. Lock n' Lube at the end of a short flexible hose and I manage just fine. The gun does get messy in storage, so it sits in an ancient coffee can.

realized the truck definitely needs a drop hitch, the cat should be far enough forward to be a decent weight distribution of the trailer but the hitch is too high and that's keeping the front axle off the ground.

Not sure if this qualifies. Seems like the load isn't balanced quite right as the front trailer wheels are up in the air. Good thing he's not going freeway speeds. Also probably needs a weight-distributing hitch; probably over GVWR and GCWR.

I love lever handles; our front door has a nice looking old-style loop below with a small lever above that you're supposed to use your thumb on, but I use whatever's in my arms like a box if a thumb isn't handy - or a knee or foot (somewhat more difficult as there's a step up to the door)...

Yeah I can't imagine how a hydraulic drive could "lock up". With torque converter automatics, there's basically a magic hydraulic fluid clutch - a fluid coupling - between the two mechanical drives and the lockup just takes the fluid out of the equation by using an automatic clutch. The tractor...
