I am looking into buying a mig welder for hobby/farm use. I have very limited stick welding experience, I managed to get two pieces of metal to stick together a couple of times without hurting myself or others. I have a 230vac 1ph 50 amp service available in my shop. I would be using the...

I've had the tractor for just over 5 months and am at 190 hours. So far we've dug out 47 stumps, had 15 stumps ground out, burned 6 good size piles of brush, removed an old Tie Wall and regraded. Still a lot of work left to do in order to achieve the"Park" look I promised my wife when we...

I'm a couple of weeks late posting the before and after pic's of our property. I'll post the Before pic's in one post and the After pic's in another post. Before July 2016

Friday while using my tractor I noticed a rattling noise coming from the engine compartment. Upon inspection I found a weld on the muffler had broke where it attaches to the pipe that bolts to the exhaust manifold. When I first found the problem the weld was just cracked part of the way around...

Adding fuel to the fire.

We finally had some rain this past week and I was able to burn :fire: Friday and Saturday.

I got a total of six stumps out over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Here is a pic of the last one, #45. It was some type of hardwood, possibly an oak and a real PITA to get out. Took about 10 hours total and I had to chainsaw through several roots to finally get it free. Stumps like this...

Stump #35

I machined a stop for the differential lock pedal this morning and installed it. I'm just going to keep a 9/16" wrench in the tool box in the event I ever need to remove it and use the differential. Thank's Motown for the great idea.

I recently completed the installation of forward and rear facing 20" light bars on my XJ2025H along with upgrading the tool box on my tractor. I thought I'd post some pic's of the build and the finished product. The light bar were these from Amazon. LightFox 20'' inch 126W Cree LED Light Bar...

I had a fab shop that we do business with at work, modify my stock bumper into a brush guard. I think it turn out pretty nice. Finished just in time, getting ready to put on my grapple and move some brush piles for burning.

I was filling a hole with dirt, went forward dumped a bucket hit the reverse pedal and the tractor did not move. Range was in low and in two wheel drive. Hyd psi appears to be OK, bucket moves up and down normal has enough psi to lift the front wheels off the ground. I checked did not see any...

Took a long Holiday weekend, six days. My Son came down from TN to visit and we got to spend a lot of good Father & Son time together. Showed him how to use the tractor and do the daily pm's. We got a lot of work done digging stumps while he was here. So far we have a total of 23 stumps...
