I live on about 5 acres - most of it is woods. Or at least it used to be woods until the Emerald Ash Borer arrived. Being in Ohio, we're also pretty overrun with honeysuckle. I want to clear a lot of it out, but I also want to be pretty selective about what I'm cutting out as I want to...

I wasn't sure where else to post this but I know this forum gets a lot of traffic so here I am. :) Long story short - I got a panicked / frantic call from the ex-wife the other night. She had "Microsoft Tech Support" on her land line and they were concerned about her computer because it was...

I want to put in a gate at the end of the driveway. Nothing fancy - probably just going with a 14' "farm gate" from the local feed store. We're just looking at something that will keep "explorers" from coming down our driveway in the middle of the night. Anyway - here's the question... I'm...

After many years, I'm finally giving in to SWMBO and agreed to a hot tub. Not getting a big one - just a two seater. You can see it here. This thing only holds 140 gallons, so it's relatively "light" compared to a lot of the other 4 and 6 seat models. According to the spec, it weighs 526 lbs...

I know that the topic of using utility poles has been written about ad-infinitum but something that I haven't seen written about is using them for cross-members or beams. Here's what's going on - the other day as I was pulling out of my driveway I noticed a utility contractor across the street...

I am making a trip to WV tomorrow to take care of some family business. While there I am going to pick up an old Farmall Cub tractor that a neighbor has been storing for safe keeping. I will also be bringing back some other stuff. To make the trip, I am renting a Ram 2500 with a "heavy duty"...

Here's one that I haven't seen on TBN... I was fueling up my JD 3520 using one of those stupid new designed fuel cans where you have to push down on the nozzle to let the fuel flow into the tank. I was just about done emptying the 5 gallon can and when I lifted the can off the edge of the fuel...

I may be getting my Grandpa's old Cub sometime soon. Here's the story... My mom was born on a small "farm" (21 acres) in West Virginia back in the 30's. While my grandparents were still living there my Grandpa bought a FarmAll Cub. I don't know if he bought it new or used or what year it is...

Debated about putting this in "Attachments", "Welding" or "Build-It Yourself". Hopefully this is a good forum for my questions.... I ordered a Thumb from Green's Machine to mount to my FEL bucket. It's on the UPS truck and will be here this afternoon! :) I have a 2005 JD 3520 with a 300CX...

I know that this question, or a variation of it has been asked about 12 million times! But searching gives me too many non-specific results and I know NOTHING about hydraulics so I need a little hand holding on this. I'm just amazed at guys like J_J that can answer this stuff in their sleep...

Came across this roll-over box blade on CraigsList for a fairly low price. Can anyone ID the make/manufacturer of this and give a recommendation on whether I should drive an hour to look at it? 64" Wide. THANKS!!!

For the last six months or so I've been trying to figure out what will be the perfect grapple for me. I think I want the clamshell style rather than one with longer bottom tines. I came across Dirt Dog grapples on the web and like the looks of them. Dirt Dog has been around a long time, they...

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the "Build It Yourself" section. Since this project involves welding/fabrication, I thought I'd do it here. If one of the mods thinks it belongs elsewhere, feel free to move it. :) So, here's the story.... I have a lot of honeysuckle and other...

I have a JD 3520 with a 300CX loader. There are a couple of things that I want to make to attach the FEL and I'm looking for a frame to weld up to so I don't have to worry about making the quick attach brackets. I know of one place - www.artillian.com - that makes frames for this purpose but I...

Apologies in advance for the length of this! :) I need some advice from the more experienced and super-smart TBNer's! In southwest Ohio we are cursed with an invasive shrub called honeysuckle. My woods (as well as most of the woods around here) are infested with this stuff. It encroaches...

I recently bought a JD 3520 and I love it! I've used it for mowing and last week for spreading 50+ tons of gravel. I don't even want to think about what that job would have been like if I had to use my old walk-behind Gravely! Anyway, I'm looking at a rear mounted blade to help maintain my...
