    Talk to me about blowers / Leaf Blowers

    I am not a landscaper, nor do I do anything commercially. I have a big shop under construction, and some property. I'm in the market for a leaf blower, something to blow the shop out, or the driveway, and blow leaves out of my flowerbeds and such. I have several Stihl chainsaws, a Stihl...

    ASV VT-70 with Blue Diamond 6' Extreme Brush Cutter

    I needed a brush cutter that was more heavy duty than my "bush hog" type PTO Rotary Cutter. So, looked around at local rental companies, found one that was fairly close (30 miles) from my property. I called them up, and reserved an ASV VT-70 Compact Track Loader (CTL) and a 6' Blue Diamond...

    I just purchased a new Stihl FS91R

    So, I am not a landscaper, just a small hobby farm guy, clearing my property, and making it "home". I have been using my SKIL 40V Power Core Line Trimmer (I call it a Weed Eater) around my house for some time now, with great results. But, now that I have moved onto the property, I needed a more...

    Sold my Gooseneck moved to a tag along equipment trailer

    I had a 2023 Big Tex 22GN (35+5) with Mega Ramps and 48" spread axles. I bought this trailer to haul a skid steer and mini excavator or other equipment.

    Mahindra 5155 FEL question

    With the topic of a STUMP BUCKET, is the FEL on the 5155 strong enough to use a stumb bucket, as long as you keep the size of the stump reasonable? I rented a Skid Steer (CTL) with a stump bucket and a grapple, and it was amazing. Thinking about a stump bucket for my 5155, but don't know if...

    Any Watch Collectors here?

    I am a self proclaimed "Watch Guy". I have a few nice (read Mid Priced) time pieces, but have been wearing LARGE case watches lately. I have a large bone frame (6'3 / 250) and a nice large wrist... so the smaller 40mm watches like what's popular with Rolex, makes me look like I'm wearing a...

    First OOPSIE with my new Mahindra 5155

    Well, I did it. Put my first dent into my new tractor. I was working in a tight space, clearing trees, and I impacted a tree with my side steps of my 5155. Whacked it pretty hard... hard enough to dent them in, to where they contacted my fuel tank. No other damage to the tractor. But, the...
