    Tire Selection Anyone go from R1 to bar-turf and regret it?

    This is the specific one I saw that looked pretty interesting: Tires are pretty old/ worn out and appear slightly mismatched with the front. I'm a bit skittish to use 4WD unless I'm in something pretty deep/ sketchy so as to not damage transmission.

    Tire Selection  Anyone go from R1 to bar-turf and regret it?

    Considering trying bar-turf to replace R1. They look pretty grippy to me and would like to try something different. This is for a small-ish tractor (regular "B" Series) I mainly use for (light) forestry, occasional snow removal, and tilling. Also have a mid-mount mower for it I rarely use but...

    Astronomy

    There's something to be said about doing it the "old" way. Any Ansel Adams photo pretty much shuts down the argument of digital being far superior to film. It's a true art. Having said that, your camera is an absolute bargain considering the results. Very nice image!

    Stabilizer bar vs chains

    Which do you think are more effective for bucket forks? Mine are sliding around all over the place. Need to solve it.

    Anyone know what this plant is?

    Got it. Albeit sideways. Straightens out when you click on it though.

    Anyone know what this plant is?

    I used to mow over it repeatedly when it kinda looked like cabbage. One day, I said what the heck, I'll let it grow to check it out and see what it looks like. It grew FAST. Scientific name?

    What tool do you find most useful on the farm for general use (besides tractor)?

    My vote is this: Cotter pin puller. I've used it on more stuff than I can count. Always end up grabbing it when I need to get creative.

    Comparison  Massey GC1700 series

    Anyone have experience with these? I'm in the market for a small jobs tractor. I thought I'd narrow it down to the usual suspects until I saw the little Massey. Looks really nice. Thoughts?
