Nothing is going to stop weeds growing up. Every rain, every day more trash will get in the rock and in no time, you will have weeds and grass growing in the rock. Spray and kill.

"Had to go out and buy a new truck" really? And you didn't get what you wanted? Would have been better getting new tranny put in. 10% the cost of that new one. Good luck with the GC.

Mt TYM/cabelas 27hp had cracks around top gauge attachment where it was improperly sonic welded. Would leak if over 5 gallons was added. Cabelas replaced just before shutting down

I had been given about a dozen old power poles when the local coop replaced lots when the added fiber cable about 5 years ago. Poles were 20 to 30 years old and you could still smell it when you got within a few feet of them. Get real beams made with zero preservatives for indoor use.

Cash

Uh, I would have had them load the POS back onto the truck if it was leaking and not to bring g it back until it was repaired. But you are passed that. Like most financed items, you have a limited lemon law time.

I had to fax paperwork last year. It was something financial,I forget what, but I was at my local bank. And I was able to use their fax for free. Just sayin. I wouldn't do an app. I'd go to bank or office depot or the like.

I've a 60 inch that goes under my tym. Used it for 5 years. Never satisfied that lawn was well cut. And 3 acres took a while. Bought a ztr, this is 2nd full year. Love it. Way better cut and 2x faster

I use buy it now on 99% of my ebay purchases , but I got a 1 year old iPad pro recently at about half of the new model and $300 less than several others that sold at roughly same time. You can get some items at a bargain every now and then. Another like item sold 3 times without actually being...

Yep, unions, not corporations, killed the vast majority of US manufacturing jobs. The last manufacturing company I worked for paid 60% of the wages in benefits, that was totally unsustainable and the unions probed it when we shut down permanently

I've a radial arm saw and a Delta lathe both running off their VFDs along with by current dust collector. No motor is over 2 hp. Used GE VFDs were cheap about 6 or 7 years ago and I picked up several at the time, sub $100. New were $150 to $200 for decent quality. I've looked at RPCs several...

You have a bad battery. If they don't want to replace, yep, take it home and kill it. Oops, key left on overnight. Or lights on for a few hours. If you are putting out 13v or more, your charging system is at least good. If battery voltage is 12v at rest, the battery is bad or is going bad. I...

Would never go back to a supposed garden tractor. Worthless junk. I've had a ferris ztr going into 2nd full year. Way better mowing experience than my scut with belly mower. It got the job done, but worse mower and twice the time as the ztr. And my 3 acres isn't smooth.

About 6 ounces last year. Leak 4 years ago dumped 2 gallons of diesel from cracked plastic tank.

You may kill a mound, but another will show up soon. It is a never ending battle.

Clothes you can toss.

Nice tarped sheds. Wouldn't last a month around here, any month. We always have several days of sustained 25 to 30mph winds in almost every month with 10 to 15 days over 15. 55 to 60 the other day from 2 storms back to back. Shreds tarps

Make a thicker base and route a groove into base for the sides to fit into. Or maybe easier, use similar thickness wood as the raised section mentioned earlier but leave the ( groove, channel ) for the lid i.e. sides to drop into. More secure than just raised center

I've got a 50 gallon barrel that is down to about 25 gallons of diesel. It's 4 years old, bought roughly 100 gallons. It looks fine, examined it the other day when I pumped another 5 gallons into the tractor. Never any algae.

Mississippi? I'm almost positive you don't have much recourse. Maybe can get him to fork back a bit, but unless things have changed in past few years, no lemon law applies to a tractor. Only on road vehicles

Plus 1 on removing wire off ground. One way or another. I just walked my 600 ft rear fence with my little cordless B&D hedge trimmer. Cut along the bottom of the fence and its 22 inches long so I could get a foot on the far side of the fence. Actually quicker than the weedwacker as it would cut...

Repairs vs replacement is nothing new. My dad complained about that in the 1970s when it had become more cost effective to replace electric motors under 5hp with new vs repairing the old ones. It had progressed from the small fractional hp up to multi hp motors. Killed the large repair company...

YES, last post is totally correct. Put it in high range, high gear and slowly let off clutch and get to flying. Take it easy with the loader..... you can over do it

While you may invest money in a tractor, the actual tractor is not always an investment. I did not buy my tractor to make me money, it is an asset, but it won't ever make me what it cost me. And I didn't buy it with that purpose in mind. So it is not an investment in the true sense of making...

Well, i see it as a potential, but I think unless you have thousands of sales in a close area a year, you'll have a hard time making a living at it. A hundred an inspection. Won't get you far, and I doubt you'll get more on the average

Neither is any plow. Just have to get it done.

Quarter acre? A really high end rear tire tiller will be more than enough. Been there and done it.

I'll chime in, a year after we moved back to the countryside, I figured i needed a tractor. Almost 4 acres, not much but most is just pasture. Got a deal (yeah I know) on a cabelas branded tym 254. Roughly the emax. Got the belly mower, tiller and fel. Used the mower for 6 years. Was a PITA to...

Daughter got a small one for her miata it is supposed to start a full size car, it'll work fine for her... $60 is cheap insurance

Yep, last 25 feet of trench has both water and power. Power came from different direction and met up with water line. Zero issues

A couple of more comments. Daughter's home was built by feller who had been building for 50 years. 2x6 walls. Filled with standard fiberglass batt. Osb, Wrapped,and hardy siding. Well over a foot of blown cellulose, I didn't measure, but it's at least that. One thing I liked, was before they...

Oh, and our first home we built had a set of French doors that worked perfectly for 13 years and and most probably since we sold. As solid and as insulted with zero air leaks. Our main solid wood had leaks, not the French doors.

You guys are behind the times on the electricity. New code required a disconnect on the exterior of the house that the FD throws before fighting the fire. It is separate from an old meter base and panel. It is a single full disconnect with one pull simular to an AC disconnect. We were able to...

5 year warranty. At year six or maybe 7, batteries will be at 25 to 30% charge max. At least one will have died. And parts? Nonexistent. Just like all other 5 or 6 year old battery powered tools. So just say $1k per year depreciation. My new Ferris was $6500, and mows 4 acres on a quarter tank...

I'll throw my 2 cents in, hope the poster makes a good decision, yes, dealer is way more important than a thousand or two you originally paid. In 4 or 5 or 6 years when the tractor has an issue you can't fix, that money is longforgotten. Get as big as you can afford with ONLY your money. If...

What a stupid comment. If I can't get fuel for my lawnmower, then nothing will matter anymore. You ain't gonna have electricity either, and we both might be pretty hungry. My grass can sure grow. Parts are plenty available for 2010 and earlier Ferris mowers and engines, so I expect that will...

The ZTR's expected lifespan is double to triple that 5 year span. And in 5 years, your friend will be paying way more than $75 a cut. Where I'm at its closer to 30 cuts a year plus a couple of leaf mulching.... oh, I've a low end Ferris that cost me $6500 new last fall. Not as fancy as the one...

Uh, on most of these type devices, they aren't for you to mess with... :) Truly, Stick with the front terminals. Just sayin

I'd never drive an hour each way for a garden. I grew up gardening and farming with my dad. The farm was 5 miles from home. Roughly 10 minutes drive time. Even that is a pain when you HAVE to do it 5 to 6 days a week. When the tomatoes and cucumbers and squash and the peppers and the beans and...

I've a 48 inch behind my hydraulic 25 hp. Virgin rocky ground wasn't hard for it except when it hit a 8 inch or so rock. I wouldn't have wanted to use a 72 inch...

$5 to 6k. Just look at new prices.

Sorry for your loss fatjay. But I'll bet your mom will get some good use out of your work. Wife and I are in our mid 60s, she's got bad knees plus other ailments. Our home is comfortable, but very poorly laid out. Built in early 90s, we've had it 7 years. Guest bathroom has a 24 inch wide door...

If the tractor works or still works as a tractor for you, then do what I did, go buy a ztr. I got a new 2021 model last fall for $6k, 54 in cut Ferris. Cuts the grass way better and faster than the tractor did with the belly mower. I took off the mower and I'll use it if the grass in one area...

I bought last car from dealership in MO, 2 hours from me here in AR. Cashier's check, and I had to email them pictures of check the day prior. But this is a dealer, who had my DL , my address and the funds to find and repo and prosecute me if I stole it, and title took a month to get to me...

EXACTLY. My barn in MS had door on southerly to westerly side. Always ended up with trash inside. My current shop is eastern facing, not nearly as bad, but house is close enough to give trash a swirl and lots end up inside....just sayjn

I have a cabelas made by tym, and a 72 inch MM. It cuts ok in low. If I move decently fast in high it leaves a row in middle. I just bought a zero turn to replace mowing with tractor....

Except in the winter. Then you will quarter that mileage .

My tractor battery is 6 plus now, I put on tender part of the winter to keep it charged. Batteries can be a crapshoot. I just got a replacement for my f150 truck the other day. 350 day life for an 84 month battery from autozone. They did replace free.....

Bad part about most home owners insurance is that they cap out the insurance for any free standing outbuildings value at 10% of the home value. I've dang sure more than 10% of my 350,000 house in my shop and contents.... hope you have good luck with the insurance.

Made by Ferris, i.e. Briggs &Stratton, why not just buy a Ferris?

Solid, i.e. no air needed tires on my new Ferris. I'd fill them up with foam....

I'm new to the zero also, and yes, if you slow down, and just ever so slightly reverse one wheel while forward with the other, you can keep from having the ground in grass pivot point.

Wow, kind of opinionated arentcha. Btw, where I live I mulch my leaves in my front yard as they are already coming down from one oak and I've still grass to cut for a couple more months. Leaves don't always just blow away either. Those oak leaves would still be there next spring. And dew...

All depends on how much you want to spend and how soon. 16hp vs 21 vs 23hp. Yes, the 16hp is probably way underpowered vs a 23hp. And a supposed 100 pound more to drag around is that much less pulling that leaf vac. If it were me, I'd get the leaf vac and use your current mower and then replace...

Yep, dog house? Her house. 14 plus and she ain't going out to a dog house

Can't add much, but I bought a new 25 hp for $13k with fel 6 years ago. There have been adverts for similar size for $16k to 18k this year. I'm going to pay double for an electric so I can save a few thousand in fuel and oil? Hydraulics are still there. I run my little one about 50 hours a year...

The elephant matters a lot... I've got a gravel road I'm trying to keep the grass from overtaking entirely. The Bermuda wasn't stunted at all when I sprayed it the other day, the water grass is dead in 4 days. And I used hand sprayer and higher percentage. The grass matters And it is a bit...

Be very careful with damaged lion batteries. And if overheated, they were damaged. Don't leave on a charger and walk away. Especially overnight. Many have caught fire.... just be careful

GOATS. The cheapest and best eliminator. They will eat every leaf in sight. The only thing that will totally elimate without killing everything or tremendous labor.....

If you can keep the posts dry, then they will last a long time. If they are soaked with every rain, they will rot quickly.

This makes me want to keep my 05 even longer. I wouldn't be buying anything new anyway. But I totally disagree with the comments that these are things the buyer has asked for or wants or even needs. Ain't nothing wrong with hand roll up windows. Push button start? It ain't needed. Dual air...

Yep, way off topic and while $50k per piece is good, it ain't nearly 'fine" art. We've a friend who does in the 5 figure range and it sure ain't fine. 10 times that is just a big city artist. But again off topic. Build the home. especially if you are gonna finance anything. I will bet 8 to 10%...

Looking good. I know it's a late question, but you appear to be in a subdivision. I'm sure that it is legal to keep chickens and there isn't a limit to the number you can have.... just sayin. I'm in Arkansas and most towns here allow a few hens, and zero roosters.

I bought a car in 2020. Was a dealer 120 miles away in adjoining state. Asked if they wanted cash, $21,000 for the deal. NOPE, cashiers check, photo sent to them the day before I went to get it along with a photo of my DL. They had my address, my ID and the photo of check and they did check all...

Ha, except for here in Arkansas, you have to buy digital only for M -S with only a printed Sunday paper. No thanks....

Lota if good points. BUT unless you are willing to circumvent your power company's requirements, you do not get any power from solar array when you have a grid tied system and the power goes down. One company has a 110v 15 amp single allowed size you can charge your phones..would tbot do much...

Oh, and I guess you JD fanboys missed that Waterloo is going to Mexico in the next year or two....

They are the same. Especially with a tractor. You are buying the manufacturers representative. It's why I didn't buy a Kubota. The POS dealer hear has 90% of the small tractor market and knows it.

Then you aren't seeing it. Harness is gone. Ain't no splicing that melted mess. Replace it. .

While it shouldn't come off, I would have mounted it the other direction. Would stay closed easier. But I wouldn't have put it there in the first place either. I think it is way too high. Stand on the wheel to put the chain back up or get it out? But it's your machine, not ours. Thanks for...

I've an old nozzle that has worked whenever I needed it to. Bought a new one when I had moved and didn't have all my stuff up here. Thought I was getting a good one. Bernzomatic with a hose. Thought it would make Life easier. It just doesn't work consistently at all. Harbor freight item would...

Hey, HF has a new mower for sale. Go try it....

Cardboard would be a disaster most anywhere it rains. Arizona and S Cali might work for a while. Here it would be gone in a year. I've got 4 20x25 beds at my main entrance, either side of the gate and inside and out river rock. Been there about 10 or so years. Weed seed doesn't need much to...

That won't keep about a yearling let alone an adult deer unless you aren't protecting anything they want. 7 ft is about minimum if they want in. Does and their yearlings jump 5 ft wire here without thinking. Walk right up and just over. Good luck guys. Peanut butter in it is good idea, btw

Life of the batteries. 2, 3, maybe 4 years. Good gasoline ztr can last someone mowing 3 acres like I do for a decade at least. I'm on year 6 with my mid mower on my tractor, and yes one belt and a set of bearings a year ago. Yep, there is are repairs to be made to the gasoline or diesel, but...

I would order and buy well in advance of need. Daughter finished up her house late November of last year. Not fancy at all, but we spent about $180 Sft including appliances for the living area, not including a large garage and small deck. Probably close to the OP $150 to 160 living area cost...

They have electric motors, not engines. And they haven't figured out the batteries yet. And it's been well over 100 years.

Recession is closer than you think. Late next year or earlier. Inflation may slow, but it isn't going to reverse for a while. Interest rates are going up pretty quickly, mortgage rates are in the high 5% range which is 2% in just a few months. We are still building like crazy here in NW...

200 feet? Put down a new pvc line that is 1"minimum diameter. Way easier than dealing with old pipe that might fail at any time...

The incompetence of our legislators is staggering. Those who vote for stupid laws, but not any real means to provide the NECESSARY infrastructure are fools. And while electric tools do have a place, they aren't the total solution. About 9 to 10 minutes per battery for a chain saw just won't get...

I've got an old snapper rider. It was gifted to me to toss when I bought my first house up here in Arkansas. It needed a gasket on the oil pan, and I bought a rubber drive wheel. And as it is an electric start, a small motorcycle battery. This will be 11th year I've had it. It mows my back...

And if you think lumber is bad, just paid $6.01 with tax for a pound of 8d nails at the big box store. Sold them by the pound when I was a kid for 50 cents.... just wow. Price everything guys. Folks around here are getting stuck getting just simple stuff. We finished our daughter's home in...

Zero reason to put tile above it below. Put the cable in the pvc and bury it. Done and per code

Yes, say NEVER. You might occasionally save a bit, or get a perk, but you paid for that perk. There is no free lunch and the money you borrowed wasn't free. The dealer buries the charges in the cost. At some point there will be a time you won't be able to pay the loan... TOYS, and vehicles in...

I've never fertilized my yards. Never. Zero reason to do so.

Ryobi burnt me a good while back on their 12v line and I won't buy another. I too still have dewalt 12v that I've gotten a decade of use out of. I need to replace as batteries are well past good use. Probably Milwaukee.... Mostly made in US

Reared up would be heavy FRONT loading, which it is... OP said truck is level, so no issue.

And everyone claims jd has overnight parts.... except for wheels and tires. Slow boat from Korea..... Just sayin

pine beetles

Obviously your friend knows less than me. dick cabelas was dead and buried over 3 years before Bass pro deal was done. He dies in feb 2014 and the FAMILY sold off in 2017. The FAMILY wanted their money and not a business to run. 2016 was the fire sale year for the tractors. I bought mine in 2015...

No, issue was they didn't sell well, and cabelas was actively in the process of selling their whole business to Bass Pro. I bought my little 25hp cabelas because they had a good service center and a good trained mechanic right near me. And Kubota didn't care if I looked at their tractors, Case...

none I ever have seen can lock the 3ph in an up position. And my tym has a mmm that when down, has the 3ph fairly low. I've used mower with stuff hanging on the 3ph, but it is a pain to insure it doesn't drag....

Daughter just finished her home next to ours. 50% over budget and 2 or so months longer than we anticipated. In our local, every one building is very good busy. If you di not have ties to subs, you can most probably forget being your own contractor. No one will call you back, or if they do, they...

My TSC is almost worthless. Mainly dog and cat food store. yep, a handful of propane hoses, (I was needing to connect tank to new house. Just wanted a 6 foot hose with a damn fitting to connect to half or 3/4 pipe. Not a thing in stock. No pipe fittings except for some scrap. The one closest to...

3 year old thread, Really guys?

No loans, no leases. Pay CASH. fools folly to take out loans. What happens when you lose your job? or covid shutdown..... Your tractor is repossessed... And why do you need extra insurance? You would be way cheaper to up your homeowner insurance to cover more. Mine covers 10% of face value...

Vent cover in top is way too low. Need 6 to 8 inches gap. if it is wide open, it would vent, IF the fire is big enough. That is the other issue, small fire would not carry heat high enough unless it is really cold.

Off topic reply, If you haven't seen problems with ethanol flavores gasoline, then you haven't been using ethanol gasoline. Every one of my gasoline powered pieces of equipment has damage from ethanol. I hate the stuff, and at least I can easily buy pure gasoline easily right now. And I've used...

Arghhhh it isnt a well.... It is a cistern. fill and forget. there is zero reason to burn, or remove anything.

The one thing to note is that there is a road these strays can get on. Let the OP know that every one of his cattle and most of his property would be owned by the family of a person killed when his cow is standing in the road at 5am in the dark. He'd better get off the stick and put up a hot...

cash.

Just about the funniest post I've ever read. Only on sand dude. We just had dug 200 foot trench to put in new power to my daughter's new house, 50 feet of it met the water line so dual purpose. The pulled out rock as big as the 16 inch backhoe. 100 to 150 pounds. Ain't shoveling here more than a...

Wow. 30 stupid posts on something that was solved in almost first reply. Then arguement about size. Residential used pvc is schedule 40. cpvc I'm not sure schedule, but it has always been way small. That was done to prevent pvc being used directly against cpvc in hot water installs to prevent...

Why try and burn? Back fill it with dirt. Mound a foot high and forget about it. If it settles in 2 or 3 years, add some more dirt. Zero reason to empty or try and burn.

cut off the water. Relieve the pressure and try to start it. If you can, turn water back on. 30 seconds with just a bit of water in it is no issue.

like you should..... Using only 2 points and any makeshift braces only encourages damage to your trailer hitch and possibly the tractor when it gets away.

Yep, you might have a bar, but it isn't a draw bar when on a 3 point hitch. Use the real one when towing...zero reason not to

goats. they love them. That and roses....

I'm 62 and have been stopped maybe a half dozen times in my entire 47 years of driving. I've NEVER been worried or even asked to get out of my car and for dang sure never had my person searched. If you are truly worried about this, you have major issues. I bought car 2 years ago for CASH in...

Not in Arkansas. No notary needed.

Yes, cancel your insurance, and the title is now in their possession with YOUR signature verifying transfer. You have zero risk after this. BTW, it may take 6 weeks to get a title transferred.....

You are being way stupid. You won't sell a car over the weekend, and during this time of covid ignorance, a lot of Dmvs have limited hours. And if the OP puts on a tag from another vehicle they own, THEY are committing a fraud and are subject to arrest if they get stopped. Just sell the car......

Wrap the foil around your head. There ain't any chip in cash...... Yes, there is foil strip, but it isn't a chip. Get real.

If you use black poly, do not have any connections along the way. One continuous length. Otherwise it can fail. I have a line that was put down about 20 odd years ago that I had leak about halfway of a 1300 ft length. Stainless steel clamp had rusted through. The SS clamps are Ss, but most of...

No, no matter, the larger auto battery was never charging properly. That is the science. Just because it was tested good means nothing. Your just hadn't damaged the battery. Your system charges the lower capacity battery way better than the larger battery hence better performance. The larger...

IF Kioti follows through..... Otherwise..... I've a really large Kubota dealer near me and they have a pretty good stock of a lot of tractors, even now.... some of the other dealers, not so much. Hope you get it.

If he's a good dealer and finds the issue he'll probably replace the belt gratis. I think it is a good test to see if he IS a good dealer with good service. If he can't find issue, that might be an issue.....

NW Arkansas, has gotten dry, but totally normal this time of year. Was way wet through May. probably 8 to 10 inches above normal for the year, but it might stay dry longer than usual to get closer to normal year.

at least one vent vertical through the roof. New home, 2 bathrooms. all vents connected, one vent. vent is for gas and to help water drain properly.

The ONLY issue with putting metal roof directly over shingles is if you have hidden deck issues. There is ZERO difference in what will happen to the roof. Ain't enough air between the shingles and the metal to sweat any degree that wouldn't happen with 1x purlins.(which actually would be worse...

Lucky? I'd say not really, if the installer is bankrupt, you have nothing to fall back on if you end up finding an issue. All on you with no warranty. I would expect you don't look for anything to come up, so you may be really lucky

It all really boils down to the potential use of the tractor and can you afford to buy the implement. $5k isnt a small sum to finance and use once in a while. Dig a hole for a mailbox? With a backhoe? Guess you are really kidding us. I just did this and used a shovel. Too many rock for a post...

Yeah I've got a 2nd 3rd or maybe 4th gand snapper I can't kill. 1980s model......

Make sure that blade isn't bent. I'd expect it would be just looking at the clearance from the picture

always pull with a draw bar. safer, and just works. 3pt hitch isnt for a trailer pull

New install in NW Arkansas is $6k for 1400 sq ft 2 bedroom house. 3 days to install. Way too cheap to try and do myself.

Well, ai bought one of the little 25hp scuts. Got a good deal on the tractor and loader combo, about a month after buying, found out they were discontinuing the line, got a mid mower for roughly half price and a woods tiller for about a third off list. Been pretty good, I'm well past the 3 year...

Short answer, not that I've ever seen, does your tractor have a mid pto?

Hand held battery tools are handy due to the lack of cord. But battery charge during use is still a hindrance and power also. I've got a cheap corded 3/8" craftsman that will twist you hands harder than any battery drill out there. And my grandkids can still be using 30 years from now. You can't...

I don't own a .410, but it would be a good snake gun. And if you are a decent shot, squirrel gun. 20 gauge is way overkill, pun intended. way too big for snake, (gun and load) and really for squirrels too. But besides that. Be careful shipping or having shipped into the state of kaliforniastad...

Agreed, while it looks good, that smooth lid will not hold a load of any sort going down the road. Put a skid with 500 pounds on it going down the road and hit the brakes, and it will be inside tha cab with you. I wouldn't trust strapping a thing on top.... There is a BIG reason this isn't...

If you want to row crop an acre or two get an 8 or 9n, or MF 135 or similar row crop tractor. But if you want to use it, not work on it, then get a new cut or scut. The 8n was a fine row crop tractor in 1950, but not really that good now. And diesel is way easier to deal with than gasoline in a...

I don't care how good this mower is, Warranty is ONLY ONE YEAR on the batteries..... So some short time after that, when a battery fails and you have to spend $500 on a replacement (guess) or even the REAL possibility that a replacement battery won't be available, get back to us on the purchase...

Daughter is building new home next to us. Would have done it last year, but could not get a builder to get anywhere near her price and wanted to work with her. Fast forward to this year, found a builder who has mainly remodeled for past 5 or so years, but has built a lot over the years. Came to...

Yep, looked at one for a second at big orange box yesterday. wouldn't think of buying it.

Ouch. Yep, Not ready for prime time. Sorry for your issues, but I might Think about an electric mower in a decade or maybe two......

Unless you are in a non farming enclave, get on the dang thing and go. Tractors on the road is a very common thing here in Arkansas, and all the way to Mississippi. Heck this time a year, south Arkansas and Louisiana have more tractors on the road than cars. (not really, but it seems that way)...

you posted pictures of lawn mowers not zero turn. those lawn tractors are no better than the box store junk. go with true zero turn

While it might be the motor or motors, nowhere did I see that you careful checked all the interconnected hoses for any obstructions. You could have old hose collapsing on one side. And which order does the pump feed the motors? I bet the one running best is fed first......

Small scutt, I'm in 4wd about 75% of the time. I've got hills, nothing really soft, but 4wd is 100 times safer. and how the heck much do you guys use a TRACTOR on pavement? I've never plowed my driveway. Wear in the front tires is INSIGNIFICANT on pavement vs dirt unless you are on pavement all...

Oh, and my daughter is building house on good slope, cinder block walls filled with rock and loose fill with 12 inch footing, 24 inches wide. Walls filled with concrete, 4 plus in slab. it ain't moving

All depends. Yeah. I build a shop that was 12x24 in 1987 on a slope that had fill on lower side. red sand fill, and really not compacted. 4 inch slab. over the years a lot of the fill was dug out by animals and water. Slab never cracked. Fast forward 20 years. Built a 30x30 metal building. Only...

A couple of REALITIES. Solar is really a feel good thing. If the Feds did not REQUIRE that the solar power you dump back Into the grid was paid back to you at the rate you pay for it, and without federal and state payments to you for the sysyems, i.e. subsidized panels, no solar system could...

So the issue is NOT 4wd. It is no rear weight and overload enough to pick up the rear if the tractor.

I've a tym which has the same mid mower. I've found that the easiest way to remove the mower is on my garage floor which is epoxy coated. Plain concrete, even really smooth is still a pita. Yes, you have to remove it to sharpen blades and dan for sure to remove the gearbox. And dang gearbox is...
