46 years living and playing in the rural parts of Kentucky and I have NEVER seen ticks as bad as they are right now. It's only May and I've gotten two dozen off of me, wife, cats, dogs. Literally can't even walk outside into the yard without finding a tick crawling up my leg. They are more...

Four years ago I had a few hundred feet of wooden farm fence installed around a couple acres of my property. Several months later I had a farm fence painting business come in and paint 2/3rds of it in the traditional black paint that is used on fences around here. The other 1/3rd I did not...

Like I've said before, the Workmaster 40 has been fantastic. The New Holland FEL hasn't. It's garbage. Anyway....so now all of a sudden the float function on the FEL has stopped working. For those not familiar, these have a remotely mounted joystick. All the other motions work, but the...

Looking for a nice used riding mower for my grandfather. I found a Craftsman GT5000 online not far away for $600 and the pictures look good. Owner says all it needs is a battery, otherwise runs and mows great. Can you guys offer any info on these models? I've never had a Craftsman "garden...

MIL has about a dozen (maybe a little more) bushes that were injured by severe cold last winter and then finished off by more severe cold this winter. Now that it’s spring she wants me to help her pull them up so she can replace them. These are mostly your typical boxwood type residential...

Have a very sweet Ram 1500 Hemi truck I got new (leased) last year. Been thinking about moving up to a HD pickup to make towing my big enclosed trailer easier. Diesel HD trucks are insanely high in price. Even with 150k miles on them, you’re looking at $50k around here. So I opened my search up...

Does anyone here have experience with the Agri-Fab tow-behind lawn sweeper sold at places like Tractor Supply? I'm looking for a way to clean up around 10,000 square feet of leaves and small sticks in the fall. Was wondering if these lawn sweepers work as advertised. And, does the grass have...

I need to dig 4 trenches. Each trench needs to be 6-8" wide and about 50 feet long. I'm going to lay pipe in the ground to carry gutter downspout water farther out into the yard. Currently it's dumping about 6 feet from the house. I want it to dump 50 feet away. So I'm going to bury pipe...

Our community here in central KY had a couple of terrible accidents in the last few days. On Saturday a 21-year old guy who was newly wed and had just got back from his honeymoon decided to go out a run the bush hog. Some how, which is unknown exactly, he fell off the tractor and was run over...

Anybody seen this before? What's the culprit?

So I have T-Mobile as my wireless phone provider. Works amazing in most places, but out in the rural areas and campsites I have 1 bar of service if anything at all. I've been looking at the truck/RV style mobile cell signal boosters. Seems like they'd be a little bit involved to install...

Ran this little saw for a while yesterday in some pine, cedar, honeysuckle, and a little bit of hardwoods. I really like it. I think it's a great supplement to the other tools we have around here. And the price is pretty good.

In a nutshell: New Holland Workmaster 40. Tractor has 52 hours on it. I bought it with only a few hours (brand new never sold) and the dealership installed a New Holland loader from another new tractor onto this one at time of purchase. I've had it six months now. Since new, it has made...

I have a new 8.5x24' enclosed trailer. Lark United Manufacturing is the brand. GVWR is 9,990. Twin 5,200 lb. axles. It was advertised as a "car hauler". I cannot locate the weight capacity of the rear ramp door anywhere. One would assume that the ramp door would support at minimum the same...

2019 Workmaster 40. Looking for an engine oil filter yesterday.... Dealership says they've been waiting for months. NAPA says they can't even look up a filter for it. O'reilly Auto Parts also has no listings for it. I ended up ordering one from Messick's hoping it's the correct filter...

Went from a 1999 New Holland TC29 with a Bush Hog FEL to this 2019 New Holland Workmaster 40 with New Holland 140TL FEL. The old tractor FEL was very strong. Would pick the back end of the tractor up if I wasn't careful. It would never run out of lift power. The tractor would turn over...

The ONLY brush guard I can find online is the New Holland branded one. They call it a "grille guard" and from what I can see, it's $600+. That seems insane. Does anybody know of a better option?

Ideally since I'm only going to use it once this year, what I'd really like to do is RENT a 3-point hitch implement to aerate my 2 acre lot. Are there any common places that you guys know of that will rent out farm implements? I guess I'm not 100% against buying one, but most of them I see for...

Our first NEW tractor. Haven't seen this before. What is its purpose?

I called my dealer locally to inquire about these Kioti tractors. I started off by asking if they had a CK4010SE in stock. He immediately asked me what it was that I wanted that pushed me toward the SE. He said almost everything on the SE can be added later if I want, but by going SE now...

I'm pretty sure it's a Mitsubishi engine but does anybody know which one? Got a model number by chance?

On a lot of compact tractors you get an option of R1, R3, or R4 tires. What I've noticed on many brands and models is that the size of the front tires is always the same between the tire style options, but the size of the rear varies. For example, my tractor has 43" R4 tires, but if I had gone...

They say there are no dumb questions. We'll see about that. :) My rear tires were filled as a part of my new purchase agreement. When I got the tractor home I wanted to verify the tire pressure to make sure it's where I want it to be, but as soon as I put my tire gauge on the valve stem the...

I have a new Workmaster 25 and on the back, immediately to the right of where the slow moving vehicle sign mount is located, there is a wiring pigtail just hanging there. There are two wires with barrel style quick connectors crimped onto them. Are these wires there for adding a work light to...

I have a trailer that has 6,350 lbs. of maximum payload (10,000 GVW, but trailer itself is 3,650). I'm trying to make sure my new tractor will be transportable. It's a New Holland Workmaster 25, which has a listed weight of 2,469 lbs. I'm having the rear tires filled, so I'm estimating that...

Long story short, looking at trading our 1999 New Holland TC29 (which has been an amazing tractor and workhorse) in for a 2020 or 2021 tractor of similar size. I'm actively researching and visiting dealerships of all brands to decide which I feel best about going with. The plan, and who knows...
