    No such thing as too much wood! (Firewood) Now being in the way is another thing. :LOL:

    Test drove used John Deere Gator 6x4, have questions

    So much for me thinking that it's overpriced. 👍 This Gator forum is pretty good, slow response but good info.

    Test drove used John Deere Gator 6x4, have questions

    HD it sure looks nice, but my initial thinking to the price was that it's high. I am not "in touch" with their values either. One thing I will say is once you get a sxs you'll be amazed how handy they are for reasons that you've never thought of. At least that was my experience. Are you still...

    Thinking of getting a Plasma cutter

    What are your current metal cutting methods? A plas wouldn't be my recommendation for a "first step".

    Pros and Cons of allowing Cell Tower on Property?

    I didn't go past this on page 2, but the tower value.... is that going to the real estate value and if so, who's paying it? I know that there are tower lawyers who will know the potential "traps" and probably rental value including being involved with each additional tower occupant in the...

    Heavy Duty Compact Tractor

    I think you nailed it. 👍 Without a doubt those compact stand ons are built well beyond anything with a similar footprint. There's the little detail of no seat or tractor feel and they're probably double the cost.

    Studs for paved hills for snow removal

    I swear by them. 👍 They'll never beat tire chains, but they make enough difference for me. These have been in the rear tires for 4-5 years, I leave them in as removal ruins that spot for re installation. You can see that they're spaced in a pattern and there's not really that many of them...

    The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

    I wonder if a soil sample (or a annual series) would help your argument for a hay cutting next season. I know the cut grass is feeding the soil but is there a point where it's heading out of balance and maybe favoring conditions for an undesirable becoming dominant. (or something along that...

    Anybody here done stone carving?

    I tried just splitting some granite with the traditional hammer drill and "feathers and wedges". I now have much more respect for those who can "read" a rocks grain.😆 Carving may be completely different. Fwiw I think that today this type of number/letters carving is done by masking the stone to...

    I was trying to respond to the original pusher box/tractor size question from @arrow .👍

    10’ snow pusher

    I have a feeling that your very northern snows are quite different (more than not) than RI, a very coastal state where the sea waters provide some warming making a sloppy mess vs a dryer snow.👍
