    Brush hog accident(s)

    Got the same beef with people. PLUS when they cut it and blow into the streets, they don't clean it up and it clogs the storm drains. I always cut the first 3 mower widths INWARD when going along road edges, or near cars and buildings, or cutting next to hayfields. The 4th run I cut the other...

    Brush hog accident(s)

    I brush-hogged a lot of stuff and it always amazed me from year to year how a field I had CLEARED and cut previously could somehow end up with something else to tear up the deck (my brush hog looks like it was used for clearing land mines) or generate a deadly missile. I switched to a flail...

    Gov't mandates gas can flame arrestors.

    Hard to reply anything that the TbyN doesn't block with the note: "appears to be spam".

    Should I cab or not. Getting ready to buy

    Everybody's level of comfort will vary, and you'll no doubt get all sorts of opinions about a cab or not. SO here's one more. I grew up around and on tractors. No ROPS. No cabs. Sometimes not much of a real "seat". It's what we did. And we acclimated. And we complained. Bugs. Hay dust...

    BACKHOE VS BALLAST BOX

    If you want to keep things close and tight for maneuvering in tight places, go with a ballast box. But a backhoe will work fine for most cases. I usually have my backhoe (900 kg) on my tractor because I'm always dealing with stumps and rocks, so that's my normal "ballast". On hills I can reach...

    How to catch 11 gallons of oil?

    Obvious? Trust me, there is no "obvious" that you're missing here. Far from being "obvious", working on/with tractors is more about being "innovative". Maybe one of the answers from other members will already meet your needs. Great! If not, maybe this will help: I have just enough room under...
