I guess this post could be categorized as a rant. The battery on my MF 383 failed to take a charge so I set out on what should have been an at most 15 minute job to change it out. The first clue that this was going to be a bit more than 15 minutes was the battery location...the battery is...

We have a bumper crop of 10/15 onions this spring, more than we can use, give away, or refrigerate. I've heard that one can extend their usefulness by drying them and keeping in a shady place? Anyone have successful techniques for extending the useful shelf-time for onions? Thanks.

There have been a lot of great posts on this forum about pond building....Eddie's being most notable...and I'd like to share with anyone interested some step-by-step photos of a pond I currently have under construction in hopes you will find it interesting, if not as great as the other posts...

I just purchased and re-furbished a used batwing and am ready to do some mowing. I've never used anything larger than an 8 ft mower before so I'm looking for some helpful hints from more experienced folks. Operating tips, safety things, etc. ...anything would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I need to build a bridge to cross a wet-weather creek that most of the year is at best a trickle but can on occasions be a raging torrent of water. The bridge will be used by my tractors and a small Case 450 dozer. The county recently re-built a bridge on my county road leaving the old bridge...

I'm curious..what are your techniques for keeping the crows out of your garden corn, especially as it is just sprouting? I love the taste of fresh home grown corn, but have lost the battle to crows more times than I have won it. This year, I'm able to have a 24/7 presence on the place so can...

On the Case 450, the hyd lift arms for raising the blade on each side are attached to the blade by a couple of 5/8 inch bolts through an attachment to the blade. In doing some heavy land clearing, I managed to "pop" those two bolts on one side. I backed out the broken bolts and replaced and...

Not sure where is the best place to post this question but here goes... What do you think of the cordless grease guns and which brand/model do you prefer? With three tractors and a dozer that eats grease like ice cream, I'm thinking of getting one of these and wondered about your experiences...

I've been on a project now for about 9 months trying to turn 70 acres of 5 year old clear-cut timberland into pasture. I've got most of the brush down and am working on raking and stump removal now. My question to the forum is: is it necessary and beneficial to "shave" the land with the dozer to...

While using a Case 450 dozer this weekend to clear 5 year old clear cut land, I unfortunately ran into a bee hive. Of course, they chased me well away from the hive and continued to pummel me all day long as they tracked the sound of the dozer. These did not appear to be Africanized, probably...

What a great forum....my Thanks to Eddie Walker for the referral. I hope I can add something based on many years of experience with ranching and equipment and rural living. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you all. Thanks.
