I plugged a motorcycle tire in a pinch. It got me home, and I got the tire replaced as soon as I could after - I wouldn't deliberately ride a motorcycle on a plugged tire. Other tires though... probably.

Do you just let the mower pivot on the lower arms and ride on the wheel then? I don't have a quick hitch, but my use does involve gently lowering the mower over pond reeds and off the side of a dam onto blackberries where there's unfortunately rocks, so I can't just ride it on the wheel. If I...

In addition, more and more modern homes have very little fresh air intake / stale air exhaust. It's one thing if the house is drafty, but a modern house is pretty bad with open gas flame. Which saddens me; we've got a 1950's O'Keefe & Merritt and love it, but I recognize it's not the best thing...

Double check the bead of the tire. Not sure if that's damaged. The rim looks kinda notchy too, check the bead seat area of the rim. My right front has a very slow leak and I found this out one day when I had a good load in the bucket, turned the wheel, pushed against a rock, and lost all the...

Ground the main fence, so something touching the hot wire + the main fence, or the hot wire + the ground, will get a shock. Deters climbers.

There's also another way I'm seeing where there's an additional adapter between the flex link of the mower and the quick hitch. https://www.greentractortalk.com/threads/converting-older-brush-hog-for-quick-hitch.192726/ As ^ the previous video shows too, the flex can be put between the hitch...

The difference is in the allowed angles through the attachment point. With it connected on the quick hitch how he's got it, there's no flexibility between the attachment and the top hitch point, give (the mower can't tilt up) or take (the mower can't tilt down). If the connection was back to...

That's where using chains as the diagonal links comes in.

I think to use it with a quick-hitch or any other short direct connection you'll need to replace these diagonal links with chain otherwise the entire thing (tractor + mower) is a solid unit and won't follow contours (and will put unnecessary stress on everything if the tractor's rear wheels go...

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because GG was about to drop a tree on the other side. Chickens aren't as dumb as they seem. An aside on chickens and intelligence: While I'm not claiming they're actually smart, I can explain some of their behaviors: 1) They basically can't see wire fences...

Hi all - we're considering getting a little tractor for narrow-access light work, mostly carrying bags of this or that but also the occasional bucket of soil. I see a BX1500 nearby on CL; it's got the LA181 loader. I believe that means that the loader is good for ~180kg... which would mean...

Honestly the only thing I can think of is that your "slip clutch is adjusted correctly" isn't. When's the last time you checked it?

seems like a mobile welder may be cheaper than that?

Good answer :p
