Well, it was a good long ride with the AT&T Mobley Plan but I finally gave it up and went with T-Mobile Home Internet. $50 a month with the TMO with autopay and I'm running nearly 300 meg down with a Netgear Mesh behind it. So far pretty happy with the set up. If anyone wants or needs the Mobley...

I need to replace the siding on my Detached 2 car Garage/Workshop. It has that old Bat & Board siding and the Kansas Weather has just destroyed it. What a crappy idea anyway for siding. But looking for suggestions on what to replace it with. It's 2x4 construction on 16" Centers. I'm thinking the...

Anyone familiar with these or have one? I was looking at Ferris and came across this brand. The one in particular I was looking at was a new model for this year the Maverick HD with a 23.5 HP Kawasaki with a 60" Deck. The thing is amazingly comfortable and the Kawasaki engine is a no brainer...

Ordered a Netgear 4G LTE modem to replace my Mobley in hopes to get faster speeds. Anyone done this? I did find this information AT&T Connected Car Mobley SIMs Reporting as PIN Locked - How to Get Your PUK Codes - Mobile Internet Resource Center

So I have eradicated about 4 possum from my 10 acres in the last few weeks. I get home yesterday and there is one out at 3:00 in the afternoon in my front yard. Thought that was odd he was out in the middle of the day. It was overcast and about 40 degrees. I introduced him to my 22 Gamo Pellet...

So I recently paid off my note with John Deere so with that my insurance through John Deere on the tractor goes away. The tractor is covered for theft under my Homeowners. State Farm will completely insure the tractor for $20k for $250 a year with 0 deductible or $190 a year with a $500...

Yep, made the last payment on my 2013 3032E today. Man that feels good to have something paid off that still works as it did the day it was delivered. :thumbsup:

Yep, this sucks. Went out about noon on Saturday, still out. Missed the Chiefs game and all. We probably have a foot of really wet snow, branches down all over the place. Been running the furnace and fridge on generator, so far so good with that set up. Keeping warm, getting to know the wife...

So this morning I cant get the wifi to work through my ASUS router but I can connect directly to the Mobley and get internet. Do you think the router went bad or more seriously do you think AT&T turned off the USB capability? Link lights all look good on the router, have rebooted everything and...

So I was thinking of getting a bid to do asphalt over my concrete driveway. Not much there really but the concrete is getting bad. It's basically a double car garage width and approximately 25' long then it turns to gravel. Concrete tear out and replacement is around $5k. I think this might be a...

Well, after 3 years of waiting and talking back and forth the KCC is finally going to plug my abandoned gas well. I guess they are all over the state. This well was never disclosed to us when we bought 5 years ago. They came out and looked again yesterday and should be done in a week or two. I...

Looking at getting a pellet gun for all these **** Sparrows and Starlings. Looking at the Gamo Swarm Maxxim in either 177 or 22. Any thoughts on what to get for under $200? Thanks

I'm on my 2nd bowl, and yes, it's delicious.

Those are the 2 choices, not interested or can I afford anything bigger or more expensive. The mowers actually look like they come off the same assembly line. The Ariens is $3k at HD at the Gravely is $3,200 with the Kawasaki. Any thoughts on these 2 mowers? Sold my Toro yesterday and going...

So we have a set of GE Front Loaders and my wife would like me to make a platform to raise them off the ground a little. I'm thinking a 2x6 frame and some 3/4" plywood on top with an overhang. Anyone done this and thought's? The 2x6 frame will run the perimeter with some additional 2x6 for cross...

So I get home yesterday and it was 64 degrees in the house. I'm thinking oh great, here goes another thousand or 5. Switch thermostat to Emergency Heat, no go. Open up the furnace and the normal heart beat led is flashing 3 times in succession instead of it's normal on and of cycle. So I look up...

So I think I want to get a Drone with a camera and maybe VR goggles. I'm a beginner so I want something relatively inexpensive. Lets say under $200 at the very most. I have 10 acres so I will just be flying it on my property. Any suggestions. Looks like Walmart has a few starting at $99 up to...

So back in 2014 my wife bought me a very nice Cub Cadet Dual Stage Snow Blower. The first summer I had it I put Stabilized fuel in the gas tank. That first fall it wouldn't start. Took it back to the dealer and they said it was gummed up by the fuel, even though it had StaBil in it. So fast...

I watched the movie "Sully" last night. Not what I was expecting but a very fine movie. I realize it is a movie but I also believe the NTSB was out to get this guy in real life. In all their scenarios they could make the landing at 2 different airports, LaGuardia and Teterboro. In one scenario...

Looking for a decent outside/attic mount antenna. I'm about 50 miles from K.C. Local Towers.

After 10 years I'm about fed up with Direct TV and their tactics. Now owned by AT&T. Thinking about switching to Dish Network, 2 year price lock and no more BS hopefully. Thoughts??

Well, not really. But I did get a new Weber Genesis II E-310 today on clearance at Wally World for $349. These are regularly $699 and I have been looking for a new Gas Grill for a few months. Only 1 disappointment really, yep, you guessed it, made in China.

I'm looking for a new Gas Grill. Are the Infrared one's the way to go or just plain old propane? I have a charcoal Weber now but want something Propane also. Thanks

So I thought I had this all figured out but some Google Searches have me questioning what I had planned. Hot Tub will be here around the end of the month. It requires 240v 50 amp. I have done this in the past but I think the codes may have changed. I definitely want it to be safe and done right...

Our house was built in 1970. Master Bathroom and all the other's have not been touched since then. We have 2 single vanity's and a standard cast iron tub/shower. Wanting to rip that all out and re do. Been looking at these all in one Steam Showers. Anyone have any experience with these?

Picked up this yesterday on sale at Walmart for $399. Haven't ridden it yet but the reviews are good. Something for the kids to do when they visit and get bored. Should be fun.

Any DIY tricks for stump removal. I'm in no hurry to get rid of it. I had thought of drilling several holes in it and filling the holes with either diesel fuel or charcoal lighter and letting it burn to start. It's out in my pasture so it's not really hurting anything.

So my wife decided she wanted a 2nd vehicle to keep the miles off of our new truck, good idea, right? So we bought a 2009 VW Tiguan, great vehicle, she loves it. All except the analog Speedometer. It's very hard to read and the increments are lets say less than desirable. The 2009 doesn't have a...

After a little incident yesterday I have decided to install a Video Surveillance System with probably 4 cameras and DVR with 1TB hard drive. Any recommendations? I have been looking at Q-see and Night Owl online. Budget under $300 Thanks

I was looking at UTV's but couldn't justify the cost for what I needed. Picked this up used from a local dealer. The wife loves it, that's all that matters. Now she can drive to the chicken coop.

My wife wants a golf cart to run around on our 10 acres. To take food and water to the chickens and goof around on. It's fairly flat with no real obstacles, just a couple of terraces. I'm thinking gas but electric may work too. Used prices for something decent seem to range from around $2k up...

So I found a new set of tires on Ebay for my wife's 09 VW Tiguan. I asked the seller about the date code and they were manufactured the 39th week of 2012. Would you be concerned with a tire that is that old? It's a good deal for the tires. Here is the listing. 235 55R17 Bridgestone Turanza EL42...

What is this guy doing?

So I'm getting a new roof installed so I had to take my internet dish down. It's one of those line of site dishes that points straight west of my house. The old wiring was just laying across the roof, a CAT 5 and a # 12 ground wire. My question is this. I want to run the new wire through the...

I had been wanting one of these and finally bought one over the weekend. This thing is awesome. http://www.walmart.com/ip/FoodSaver-Vacuum-Sealer-Combo-with-FreshSaver-FSFSSL4420-015/29559145

Looking at Desktops or those new all in one's where the monitor is the PC. Walmart has HP Desktop with 23" monitor, 1tb hard drive, 6gb memory for $500 or the all in one with 23" touch screen monitor for $650. Any recommendations here? Mostly an internet surfer but my wife is wanting to get some...

So I have a new 2014 Silverado 1500 LTZ Crew Cab 4wd with the 5.3 V8. I have been a Mobil 1 user for years. Mobil 1 has this new oil out that is guaranteed for 15k mile oil change intervals. However I like using the AC Delco filters, which I already have 2 setting on the shelf. My question is...

I'm a noob to smokers. Just bought a Charbroil Electrical Digital Smoker. Gonna try my first Pork Loin tomorrow. I bought some apple juice and pork rub to start out with. Any and all recommendations accepted and appreciated. This is what I bought.

Here's the story APNewsBreak: US OK's first factory in Cuba since revolution

So we have these front loading washer and dryer. You cant add a base to them because the base is built in, GE brand but she still wants them higher. I was thinking a 2x6 frame laid on edge with a 3/4 " plywood top and of course cross braces in between for support. Thoughts?

I have a few items on Craigslist for sale. Why do these people even bother to contact you with endless e-mails and so on if they are not wanting to purchase? I must have traded 10 emails with this lady on the TV. She was suppose to be at the house at 2:00 today. Texted me an hour before and said...

How to get rid of mice in the chicken coop and run I'm sick of these **** mice tearing up insulation and crapping everywhere. Any recommendations on how to eradicate the little buggers????

I was kicking around the idea of getting a portable generator for power outages after all this ice we got this past week. Power never went out but it was always in the back of my mind. Looking for something to run the furnace blower since I can switch to Emergency Heat and run off propane...

Wow, my head hurts from looking at TV's. I think I want a 4k TV just so I'm set for a few years once the content catches up with the TV's. I know the 4K's also up convert the 1080 stuff too. Been looking at Samsung, Vizio, LG and Sharp. Thinking I want a 60", have a 65" rear projection...

Any tricks or tips on how to get the nicks and sharpen my brush hog blades a little? I know they aren't suppose to be sharp like a mower blade but I have a couple of good nicks in them from a little accident. I bought an angle grinder today at Harbor Freight and some grinding wheels. I figured...

This was just north of my house Friday night.

Another project, a garden wagon type cart for displaying pumpkins, gourds etc. I need to make an axle. I need it to roll but it wont really be hauled around, just needs to be moveable. Any ideas on fabbing a simple axle? I don't have a welder but do have all kinds of saws etc. Didn't know if...

We are going to Jeffersonville Indiana the last week of July to pick up some concrete statuary. Driving from Kansas City area. Any suggestions what we might do on the way there or back? We like all kinds of things, birds, caves, cars, motorcycles, Zoo's, lakes, rivers etc. Any ideas? Thanks

Sparrows in the chicken coop, put up 1" chicken wire over the bigger stuff, they still wiggle through. Put up a fake Owl yesterday, the sparrows like the Owl. What now? 12 Gauge??

33 year wedding anniversary today, man how time flies. I was 20, she was 17 when we got married July 10 1982. Had our first child 1 year and 1 month after we got married, so no, we didn't have to get married. I have no idea what I would do without her, we are as Forest Gump would say, like peas...

So I have been chasing a roof leak for a few months. Was up in the attic yesterday and saw that the furnace vent pipe in the attic was not connected, like it had slipped apart. Wonder how long that has been like that? The pipe going out of the roof was offset from the one coming from the...

I was out brush hogging Saturday and needed to apply the differential lock. I heard a pop when applying it. Kinda like a gear bang maybe. Just did it once and never heard it again. I was kind of turning when I applied it so I don't know if that might have caused it. Never could duplicate the...

On a previous thread I posted how my outdoor hydrant failed and had to be replaced. Then we developed a water leak down by the highway way before our meter. Water company came out yesterday and dug it up and repaired it. Now my neighbor says he has noticed what he thinks is a leak in his yard. I...

Came home yesterday and notice a pool of water by my outdoor hydrant. That was fun to dig up. When I turn off the water then it pours out of the drain. I just went to Home Depot and bought a whole new one. No idea how old this one is. Capped it last night and will try installing the new hydrant...

Man, is it ever gonna quit raining? My 10 acres are like a swamp. Thinking about selling the chickens and starting a gator farm.

Just thought I would ask. I ride a Yamaha Stratoliner.

So I have an old tin building/lean to we have converted for a chicken coop. I'm putting in 3 2' x 2' sliding windows in for the enclosed part. Do you guys think that will be enough to keep it cool enough for them in the summer months? 1 south window, 1 north window and 1 east window. The east...

So we are converting an old lean too building on our property to a chicken coop. It has corrugated tin siding and roofing. I need to install 2 windows on this tin siding. Any recommendations on doing this? I thought I would just frame it on the inside and outside then caulk around it. I really...

So my wife has decided she wants to try and raise some chickens, just for the eggs and a hobby. She thought maybe 6 or so to start. We have 10 acres and a pretty suitable Lean To outbuilding with one end enclosed and one end open for them. Any tips, hints or anyway to talk her out of it? She...

I ordered the JD 3032E maintenance kit from Green part store for $89. I never thought the kit would be cheaper than local parts store Wix filters. But I bought the whole kit including both air filters, oil filter, fuel filter and oil for what the Wix filters alone were going to cost me locally...

Well, we have lived at our new to us place for 1 year now. Seems as though the troubles will never end, always something. Had a sewer back up into the basement shower. Had a guy come out and clean it out and ran his camera through it. About 10 feet out from the house under our nice concrete...

I have an old Remington 22 bolt action clip fed 22 rifle that was my dad's. Been looking for something to replace it since I don't think it should be shot any more. Thought's on a replacement? Probably a semi auto but others would be considered. Just for plinking around, I already have a S&W M&P...

So, I'm a newbie land owner. 10 acres and about 7 acres in hay. We moved here last September and was approached by the neighbors regarding doing the hay. I said sure, have at it. They had already been doing it for years for the previous owner. I was making the assumption that there would be some...

You guys ever seen these things? I usually see one at a time or so but not often. However, our new to us house has a big Mimosa tree out front which is all bloomed out. We have anywhere from 10 to 15 of these Hummingbird Moths all over the tree every night. They are really cool. The last 2 or 3...

Seems I remember that hydraulics should be left with a load on them, meaning bucket left up in the air and not resting on the ground. What about the rear 3 point attachments? I typically leave my rear blade on all the time. So, does it matter? I have been leaving the bucket and rear blade...

We moved to our place last September. A 2500 sq. ft. 2 story all brick home on 10 acres built in 1970. I have never owned a house this old. It seems every time I turn around there is some hodgepodge mess to straighten out. Whether it's electrical, flooring, siding, the list goes on and on...

Took a few weeks to complete but it's almost done.

Well here it is in all it's glory. My home fabricated JD Wagon.

Has anyone found a good online discounted JD parts site to order from? I'm talking about Genuine JD parts for your tractor. Whether it be headlights, turn signals, gauges etc. Thanks

So our new to us home, built in 1970 with 10 acres has this well on the property of some sort. Only thing left there is about a 10 or 12 inch round steel pipe sticking out of the ground and a smaller PVC pipe coming up through the middle of it with a valve. When I open the valve air or gas or...

So I bought my 3032E in January, I have a year to decide on buying the extended warranty. Any thoughts on buying the warranty? I typically don't buy these but this is my first tractor and I'm not sure. The tractor will not be used hard. Loader work, snow removal and brush hog work. Any input is...

Well, I will admit I'm a tractor noob. Last time I was doing any farm work was in 8th grade, I'm 52 now. Anyway, bought a new JD 3032E with FEL, Yes I know what FEL means now, 5' Frontier brush hog and 6' Frontier Blade. My first attempt at blading a foot of snow was, well, kinda ugly, gravel...

My wife called yesterday and said we need a snow blower. She has been off for 3 days because she is a teacher and schools are closed. After she shoveled the sidewalk in front of our house she called me and said we need a snow blower. It was drifted about 2 feet. So being the good husband that I...

Just posting this to hopefully stop someone else from getting a severe thumb injury. This is in no way the cutters fault but a safety issue none the less. I disconnected my mower Sunday afternoon and was pushing it into the garage, with a dolly under the front of the mower. What I didn't realize...

Our new 3032E got delivered yesterday. It's awesome in every way. Wife and dogs like it too. I got the loader, brush hog and blade along with the i-match coupler.

Just inked the deal on a new 2013 3032E, Dealer is asking me if I want a Quick-Coupler for the 3 pt hitch for the implements. I will be getting a brush hog and blade with it. Thoughts on this accessory for $350 ???

Got 2 quotes for JD 3032E with loader and cutter. Equipment is identical but the price is $2,300 different. Lowest quote was $16,995 with 305 loader and Frontier 60" cutter. Other quote is $19,297. Same exact equipment, both 2013 models. Now I expected some difference but WOW, $2,300 is...

Looking for some advice here on these 2 tractors. They seem very comparable. The TYM has a little less HP but has a tilt wheel, and the FEL loader control seems placed a little better. I believe the TYM aso has a set of hydraulic remotes out the back. My wife will be using this tractor also so...

Been looking at all kinds of Compact Tractors. I stumbled across the LS Brand today. Dealer has the G3033 HST with FEL for $16,300 and the G3038 HST with FEL for $16,900. Any recommendations or thoughts on the LS tractors?

I just got a price on a Mahindra MAX 28 Shuttle with loader, 5' brush hog and 5' rear blade for $16,600. Thoughts on this deal? That's delivered to my house.

I'm sure the subject has been beaten to death but here goes anyway. We are looking for a Compact Tractor. My wife and I just bought a place with 10 acres. The house sits on about 4 acres with highway frontage and the rest is fenced pasture with a couple of out buildings and a small dried up...
