    Better lighting for kitchen in log cabin

    We just finished building a log home (we didn't, builder did), and with a porch and small windows and lots of kitchen cabinets, ended up with a very dark kitchen. Would using flourescent shop lights above the cabinets (pointing upwards) work? Too much heat? I put up 3 strings of rope lighting...

    Hard start JD Gator TS

    I have a new (<1 hr) Gator TS, and have a really hard time starting it. I use the choke, and crank for 30 to 45 seconds before it will catch. (Most of the time I can't stand cranking for more than 10 to 15 seconds, stop and try again). The weather is cool, gas if from the dealer. Ideas?

    4wd on JD 2305

    Is there a reason to NOT use the 4wd on a JD 2305 all the time? Or is it worse to keep switching from 2wd to 4wd when I need to, the switch back to 2wd when I get better traction. We just got a 2305 and are using it to bush hog a large area of overgrown brush and tiny trees. The land is...

    Land clearing, management help

    We bought a 60 acre piece of property near Potosi, MO, and about 20 or so acres had been cleared, and there is a pond. Our problem is that much of that area is overgrown and the pond area especially is a mess. We are going to build there, but also want to do the right thing for the rest of the...
