The neighbor tried one on his skidsteer and it was not that handy to use. You have to skid the machine around to dump the bucket, then skid around to get in position to dig. You will have a bigger problem on the front of a tractor, not being able to see what you are doing.

Across 233 US cities, so-called “starter homes” have officially joined the millionaire’s club, turning the American Dream into a luxury listing. The price of entry-level homeownership has surged to unprecedented heights in many parts of the United States — almost three times as just five years...

I know one couple that used their diesel F350 to haul their big horse trailer/RV once in a while. They were having some engine issues even though they were not driving it much. The mechanic said they should drive it more instead of sitting around. The other people I know had a big LANCE camper...

I too would fix up the old girl or get a gasser. The modern diesels with all the epa stuff don't like to sit around.

Yeah.....get that thing fixed ASAP. The phasing is wrong, the shaft may be bent, and at least one u-joint that is destroyed.

Be sure to take the time to heal up correctly and do your physical therapy. Many times I have rushed the healing process only to regret it.

A black bear was spotted around here too....strange.

Several years ago I had a big mole problem and would seldom see fox, cats, and coyote. Then, we had more families of skunk and the moles are gone.

Keep the good memories forever.

The chipper only had some heat damage from the Cindertruck burning. What caused it? Who knows at this moment. Someone online said a chipper like that may weigh ~8000 lbs???? I saw a fuzzy video but couldn't see what model Vermeer chipper it was.

In a phone interview with Newsweek, Norwood District Fire Chief John Bockrath said the Cybertruck owner had been chipping wood on a private field. The Cybertruck was towing the woodchipper, but according to Bockrath, both the truck and the woodchipper had been off for nearly an hour when the...

I have never been impressed with the brakes on tractors, let alone the parking brakes. When retrieving firewood on VERY steep wooded area last year, I learned to appreciate the 4 wheel parking brake on the Toolcat. It always stays where you park it. I hope the OP gets healed.

You can't exit the CT after an accident? Not good! The lawsuit alleges the crash forces were survivable, but the Cybertruck is "defectively designed." The suit claimed occupants can't open doors once power is lost and Tesla provided insufficient warnings or training for occupants to have a safe...

Cybertruck tows a chipper and burns up. At least the chipper looks like it survived. Tesla Cybertruck towing wood chipper sparks wildfire in southwest Colorado

What will you be lifting with the carry-all? If it needs to be stronger, the joint between the vertical and horizontal would be my focus. I would think adding a 3x3x1/4" angle the full width in the corner would make a big difference. I use my carry-all on the front of my Toolcat and stacked it...
