    Finally bought a small generator.

    We have a horse farm, so need water for the animals and heat/cold for the people. When we lived in a subdivision I got a 6900/8500 unit. Not an inverter because back then $$$$$. Only went that big because we still had well water. It runs everything we need. Not all at the same time, we have...

    Buying Advice Help me spend money on a tractor

    Ah I get it. In the 7 or so years I have had the Boomer I have never removed the loader. It has a system where it is supposed to be a quick easy take off put back on. The bucket is pinned though. Just found there is a dealer that sells Kioti and Mahindra not too far away. So getting quotes...

    Nope. No E for me. Did not realize the bucket was non removable. If I buy a new one it will have a removable bucket. A set of forks would be so so handy.

    Horse farm needs tractor

    We own an 18 acre horse farm in Indiana. We are in Northern Indiana so pool table flat. 7 years or so ago I bought a New Holland Boomer 24. It is in the shop (again). We are debating replacing it. I would NOT get a 24 hp machine again. I would def go to 35 - 40 hp. The Boomer did...

    Yes we have a good JD dealer here. They are, of course, a multi dealer organization and I am about smack in the middle of their territory. I will look at the 2 series JD as well. Thanks for the tip. No dealers near me. I need shop support as I am not able to do my own repairs.

    No the $8k was as is. Not having done the repairs. I still think it is a bit of a lowball. However more important for me to have the time to figure out if I want a new tractor and if so what color it is going to be.

    Starlink

    I am on Starlink standard plan. I have the standard square dishy. This has higher priority than roam, but not as high as business. I get speeds over 100Mbps during the day. During "primetime" from say 6 pm to I go to bed it slows down. Sometimes as low as 50Mbps. Sometimes higher. With...

    Buying Advice Help me spend money on a tractor

    Thanks for all the input. The reason to repair it is so I have it to use whilst I am trying to figure out (a) if it is time for a new tractor and (b) what color it is going to be. Also, I think having it fully repaired will make it more attractive if I trade it in for a different color. The...

    Buying Advice  Help me spend money on a tractor

    I currently have a NH Boomer 24. It is starting to nickel and dime me on repairs. I am not handy so repairs done by dealer. It is currently in the shop needing $2600 in repairs. That is shortly after $1400 in repairs. Ranges from hydraulic hoses worn out to the shaft of the cooling fan...

    Parking EVs indoors

    They make fire alarms you can put up in garage like conditions. They also make them connected to each other meaning if one alarm goes off they all do. They even make specific ones for dusty environments like a horse barn. So I think pretty easy to put one in the unheated garage and have it...

    Can't believe Sams Club did me this.

    Yes I had a client that worked there. So I have seen the South Bend warehouse. Pretty interesting all tires are picked by robots. They are a prime supporter of Reins of Life which is a charity that I support.... just not to the same level as they do. Great family from all I have heard...

    Can't believe Sams Club did me this.

    Thankfully I live in the town that has the corporate HQ for Tire Rack. I buy tires from them and have them put them on the car. I'd never trust Sam's to do that kind of thing. Costco has tires too..... don't use them either.

    Squatter's rights;

    Typically your use has to be unauthorized by the land owner. So if the land owner gave you rights to hunt you have a revocable license to use the property. That does not satisfy the "hostile" element of most adverse possession statutes. Of course laws in your state might be different so...
