Two days ago I was down my mile long driveway - troweling out my one mud hole with my LPGS. It gently rolling and smooth as a pool table now. Anyhow - on the way back home - I use the grapple to pull/rip out a few of the Buck brush clumps that insists on encroaching on the driveway shoulders...

I put my LNL on my DeWalt battery powered grease gun. It's an awesome combination. Only one slight problem. A few of the grease zerks on my Kubota FEL are set in round recesses. LNL is too large to fit into these recesses. I use my Lincoln manual pump greaser for these few zerks.

I thought about video surveillance when we first moved onto the property. My outer gate is a mile down my driveway. There is an entire pine forest between this gate and my house. At the very best - cost prohibitive. We had MANY uninvited "guests" when we first moved here. My private ten...

Welcome to TBN. Major concersn....... - the PTO shaft is neither too long or too short. I know of no way to check this other than hooking the tiller up to the 3-point. LEAVE THE PTO SHAFT LOOSE ON ONE END. Raise the tiller to full height - bring the PTO shaft end to correct alignment on...

Regarding rear blades. I had a HD rear blade for both my tractors. 42+ years using a rear blade. Currently it's a Rhino 950 @ 1000+ pounds - seven feet wide. A rear blade can be a real PITA for grading a gravel driveway. It's great for snow removal and cleaning out ditches. The problem...

I had a large, dead limb fall off one of my pine trees the other day. You could hear it falling thru the other limbs and the big "thud" when it hit the ground. It was seven inches in diameter on the broken end. Around 15 to 20 feet long. Fortunately - all dead limbs will, normally, fall...

I have - Land Pride, Rhino, Bush Hog, Wallenstein and Pittsburg. All are excellent implements. I've found, thru experience, the lower quality implements simply do not hold up. If you are serious about getting the job/project completed - it's important that you have an implement that is...

Eddie - if I had that sort of problem with ties - I would not waste time using them - for sure. I have three true ties in ground. Been there since 1982. Still rock solid and they still ooze black tar-like substance in the heat of the summer. And they smell - like a mix of kerosene and...

It's been more than five years since I've checked the pressure in the rear tires. Roll the tractor forward until the valve stem is at 12-O-clock high. Shoot a blast of air into the stem to clear any Rim Guard. Take your reading. Every spring I move the tractor out onto the driveway...

I got VERY tired of lowering the roll bar. So I built this tractor car port and now all is fine. I never closed off the far end - allows me to enter/exit from the front or rear. Allows me to have a canopy also.

I shoot left because I'm blind in my right eye. I've never owned a lefty gun. Always used the old standard righty gun.

All this talk about RR ties makes my old bones ache. Until you have used one - it certainly is not your treated 4x4 or 6x6. They are even heavier than these "new fangled" concrete ties. My RR ties have a metal tag pounded into one end. It has a number embossed on the tag. This number...

It appears that the "drawbar hitch" is preventing the lower arms from coming in closer. Could it be that a Cat 1 implement was never considered for this tractor.

Hmmm - four of my nine implements are LP and they are working just great. BTW - I still show post #109 on page eleven. I have a friend also. He uses Schulte implements - 100% I would also, if they made smaller implements. BUT - sadly, Schulte is almost 100% for much larger tractors than...
