careful what you try to pick up with that kind of forks!!! You will just bend them again!! WAY too soft to be much use! Get regular forklift forks and mount them on your frame and never look back!!

Hydraulic shop can fix them. new rods if needed. Had one of my Case 580's done cause it was bent. Replaced all the seals myself with kits from Case/IH dealer. You have to order the stuff and wait for it to come. As for whole cylinders, just measure size and go on the internet with needed size...

Had to break down and buy the electric clutch for the Z-force 48 mower! PLUS a bunch of switches up the line. Everything was toast for some reason. Should have just deep sixed the thing!

I bought a used Abbott Bros. 3-pt for an M and widened it 8 inches to fit my 560. It has 2 big cylinders on it and will lift a tank with no problem. Front end comes off the ground a lot! Be careful with them! The Abbott Bros hitch is built like a tank and indestructable! VERY heavy unit!

My cauliflower and brock. plants got leggy in the greenhouse and the cabbage got stunted in the trays for some reason. Transplanted 1 row 130 feet long of cabbage then ran out of cones to put over them so had to quit til I can get more tile to cut up. Cant plant anything here without the tile...

change the oil in a motor and while its hot go dump it on the trailer floors and mop it around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have tilled grass under before,---- just chop it up good a few times and you will be fine!

well, I have dug burn pits, set trusses, graded the drive, carried brush limbs and logs, grubbed out small trees, lifted motors out of tractors. Now getting more ideas for attachment builds for it since I know about what it can do and what I can get by with doing.

Well,---- damn wind was trying to take the roof off my wood shop, ----- soooo not being able to go up a ladder in this wind, guess whos holding down the fort for a few days???? LOL!

I have a small package of buckwheat that I am going to try in a small area this year just to see what it will do.

a few things coming up here. cabbage, radishes, and broc. so far.

ran 6 of my 8 in December. Busy here now with the greenhouse so generators are getting run one at a time when I get a chance to start one. Gotta put a new shutoff under one of the tanks for sure and its ready again. IF we get the spring storms , ---- might need to use a couple of them! lol!

cant use any type of ground cover here since it harbors voles, mice , bugs, and disease and makes the ground stay cold , nasty and slimy

Plant rr corn!! lol! worms dont like it!

I go for and grow 2 pound onions! lol! Dont take as many to fill the freeze driers that way plus the big ones have better texture and flavor. Just my findings. Gotta do whatever works for you! my ground is dry so I have to keep things low. Never had an onion sunburn here yet!
