The wife wants a ZTR and with the number of trees to go around it's a chore trying to do it with the tractor which only has a brush-hog. 5 acres is probably the maximum that the ZTR would see and the hills are gentle. The local dealers carry Cub Cadet, John Deere, Stihl and Gravely. The big...

While I'd dearly love to have a skid steer, I simply have no way to justify it. I have a hard enough time getting wife approval on new attachments, you'd think I was asking for a government grant under DOGE. And then there's the cost of the mulcher. I have a what's rated as a 60HP tractor...

I bought 12 acres just up the road and uphill from my 25 when a month of rain convinced me that putting a house where I originally wanted to would be a continuous and expensive drainage battle. One issue I have is that there is broken glass all over the area around the pole barn and where the...

There is a previous post titled Help !!! Fire Ants !!! that I considered attaching this post to. However this is really more about spreaders as I'm already using a particular product for RIFA. I use Extinguish Plus to control the fire ants. This was based on the recommendation of the wildlife...

I've had a rash of these things happening to me lately. The picture shows a hydraulic diverter valve on the tractor, I was clearing some brush and the plastic screw cap came off that keeps the solenoid on the bottom coil from falling off. Not a major issue, I popped the solenoid back on and...

I had to go into town near my place in the woods to get to the dealership on a non-tractor-related issue (they also carry Kawasaki UTV's). As I passed through town I noticed that the local Kubota dealer was now owned by Lansdowne-Moody a company with 11 locations spread around the area. While...

Looking back on some issues I've had getting attachments on and off the FEL in the past few months I believe I slightly bent the left (port side) bucket tilt cylinder some time ago. My FEL has SSQA's. Something I did this weekend finally bent it to the point where putting an attachment (the...

The last couple of battery chargers I've had seem to be sub-standard. They charge to maybe 12V and then drop out. Most cars batteries are normally at around 13.5V and my pickup charges it's 2 batteries at 14.1V. What I'm looking for a something that will bring my 5th wheel RV AGM batteries back...
