    Looking for a new tool, 4lb sledge replacement, power tool option?

    Pipe wrench with handle extension pipe. But, you'll only get to 're-configure' it a few times until it leaves home. Why not just raise the deck height a notch so it doesn't get caught on the WELL COVER again ???

    Just saw my first $80,000 lawnmower

    Your 75 h.p. tractor will be selling for $240,000 the way our money is depreciating. My grandparents told me what a loaf of bread cost in the late $20's.

    Just saw my first $80,000 lawnmower

    Reel mowers are only used on the 'green's. Fairways use batwing type JD rotaries around here. I just attended an auction and bid on a few used ones. https://bids.sheridanauctionservice.com/auctions/43030-corunna-hills-golf-course-liquidation

    Check your deed. Mine doesn't allow ANY unauthorized utility encroachments. I have authorized ONE for a $5000 'fee' for a County EMS network line. That's it.

    Title issues

    I bought a manlift trailer without a title (needed because of weight). Went to a District Court and a judge signed a DOT form assigning abandoned vehicle ownership to me. Paid $15 to DOT. Title came in the mail the next day.

    Gooseneck for 150/1500 truck

    I don't believe you have the springs or rear tires to handle a gooseneck SAFELY. While it's possible for some 1/2-ton trucks to tow certain gooseneck trailers, it's not generally recommended due to potential safety and mechanical issues. Gooseneck trailers typically exert a higher percentage of...
