It's been a while since posting here but I wanted to issue a challenge to you guys who know how to fab everything. In my ongoing effort to get out of work I'm trying to think of a way to convert a couple of big shipping pallets (from Kubota btw) into large manure containers. I want to be able...

Has anybody bought or seen one of these <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.enasco.com/prod/ProductDetail?sku=Z09151N&title=Farm+%26+Ranch/>trailers</A> in action? They're alot cheaper than the heavier duty ones I've seen. Would they hold up for just around the farm use like hauling manure?

I was wondering if you guys who bought a dump trailer in the last year or so would mind letting us know what kind you got and what you like and don't like about them.

I thought this was funny in contrast to some folks who reach platinum in a matter of days. I wanted to thank everyone who has offered their advice on all kinds of things from what kind of chainsaw to buy, the value of the FEL, electrical circuits, building an arena and all kinds of practical...

What's the best way to get rid of a gallon or so of old gas mixed with oil? All the recommendations for 2 cycle engines say to dispose of old gas/oil mixtures and use new but they don't say where to put the old stuff. What do you guys do?

Since I took 11 months to buy a new chainsaw (and I appreciate everyone's advice on that) I plan on taking at least the same amount of time to look for a good used pickup. Just slow, I guess. I'm thinking about a Ford F250 or F350 diesel for pulling a horse trailer, farm chores and so on...

When our septic system was installed they didn't do a very good job of grading over the laterals. It's rough as a cob to mow over. Is there any harm in smoothing this out with my boxblade, then harrowing and reseeding the bare spots?

I remember seeing something similar to this in a different post but can't find it in Search. I haven't taken off my loader in >50 hours of use and would like to try it. Reading the manual makes it sound like you have to turn off the tractor several times too many. Any tricks or other things I...

If you look at the US doppler radar map right now you'll see a line of snow basically from Arizona to Maine. Amazing.

Motivated by kbarrett's thread, and within reason, here's what I'd like to be driving. What's on your wishlist? Ford F250 or F350 crew cab Chevrolet Suburban Cobra 427 S/C replica Boss 429

How big of a building would it take before you started to have to adjust the level to the earth's curvature?

Do you guys get much litter along your property? We only have about 750 feet of frontage but I pick up a bag of trash about every month. I think people around here litter more than other places.

On the L3410 there is a little hook that you can attach to the clutch pedal when it's pushed in. How long of a time idle would require leaving the clutch disengaged?

How long will the hay stay good on a round bale left outside if it's just tied with plastic twine and not wrapped?

How do I access the classifieds? It says you can browse the listings using the old system?

We just lost our 6 year old charcoal gray German Shepard when he was hit and killed by a car. His name was Gunner and he was a gentle soul. Of course the car didn't stop but a nice thing did happen. One of our neighbors is a vet tech and went out and tried to help him even knowing there...

Finish mower ? now that winter\'s here When I sold my old tractor several months ago I also sold the KK 6' finish mower I had. The mower worked pretty well but I got tired of that funky hitch. I'm thinking I might be able to get a deal on a mower sitting on a dealer's lot now that winter is...

Hey ObL, guess who\'s coming to visit? Why it's Spectre and Spooky.

Here's what I could find on TBN on how to pull up fence posts including my own technique. If anyone has additional ideas please share. 1 Wrap a chain around the post then over an old tractor rim and pull with the tractor. 2 Wrap a chain around the post and over the lip of a handyman jack and...

I wanted to ask anyone with a Freedom Hitch, Landpride or other quick hitch to post their comments on how they like them. I got the FH video and it looks impressive.

Tonight I had the pleasure of pulling a dozen 4X4 posts out of the ground with my L3410 after work. I could have pulled another dozen but I didn't have my helper to chain up the posts. These were 8 footers with at least 2 bags of concrete around them. I can't believe I waited so long to get...

My new tractor is here and it's fantastic! I have a rotary mower coming in this week and I'm getting a box blade so I can do heavier work with the loader. So far it's been great moving manure around. I can't tell you how nice it is to get on the tractor and not have to worry it won't start.

Can anyone tell me why I should consider a Bush Hog or Land Pride box blade over the King Kutter version. The Bush Hog outweighs the KK and LP by only 50 pounds but costs $300 more. Is the price justified?

I just ordered a new L3410 which should be here in about a week. I finally bit the bullet and can't wait to get it!!!

It's been right at or over 100 degrees for the past several days here and downright miserable to be outside. With the humidity added in it makes me yearn for those days when it was just 89. What's it like where you are?

What's the most efficient(as in fastest) way to mow a triangle shaped piece of land? Any tips from the mowers out there?

Just asking for your opinion. I've got a 25 yo Stihl with a small bar maybe 12" that runs great despite years of neglect. I'd like to get something bigger and wondered what your experience with other brands is. I'm partial to Stihl because I've also got a Stihl trimmer and it's bulletproof...

Question about the Grand L\'s Actually two questions: Which of the Grand L's can comfortably pull a 6' rotary mower for pasture grass and weeds mown every 3-4 weeks? I won't be cutting saplings or brush, just grass and weeds. Can the HST model of this tractor with loader be had for under...

I'm very much interested in the Kubota B series tractor and I have a question for B series owners. Do you think that it's possible to get a B2710 or B2910 with FEL and use it in a pole barn with the poles spaced 10 and 12 feet apart? I'd like to be able to use the tractor to move shavings from...

I've been slowly finishing part of my basement and have all of the outlets wired and am working on the lights. Is it possible to have a single pole switch that works two lights and tap that right into the middle of a run of outlets? Do I have to have the switch and lights at the end or...

Haven't seen any posts for a while from Thomas. Did he say he was going to be gone for a bit?

I've been wondering about the buying and new owner experience with Kubotas. For any Kubota owner, is there anything you would have bought with the tractor when you purchased it in the way of options or add-ons, knowing what you know now? Is there anything you wish the tractor had or didn't...

After researching different trailers I took the plunge and bought a Texas Bragg utility trailer from a local dealer. It is 18 feet long, 83 inches wide, dual 3500# axles with brakes, new tires and white spoke wheels. I got it plus had a brake controller installed and all wiring for 1525...

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. Same goes for Passover last weekend. To everyone else, have a good Sunday and I hope you weren't battered too much by those storms last night. They were nasty here and looked like they were heading to Illinois and points east.

No person was hurt in the performance of the following stunts: I was mowing along today with everything working fine, which is just short of a miracle at times with my tractor. I turned around at one point and realized I had just run over one of my newly planted blue spruce trees. Okay, I...

Late last fall I posted a similar question on Yesterday's Tractors and I wanted to see what youralls experience has been with making an outdoor arena. God willing, we might be able to do this project this summer, unlike the creek project from another thread. My wife is looking to make an...

Here's the old girl, a 1950 8N and the one behind is my friend's 1957 620 with a hand clutch.

Not sure if this is an implement exactly but I wanted to see what people's experience is with flatbed trailers for moving their tractor. What's the best brand out there? Who makes a reasonably priced trailer for this purpose? I'm thinking about a bumper pull, 16-18 foot. Can you pull a...

Today we took delivery of the newest member of our expanded family, a Clydesdale. She's 7, named Sarah and weighs a ton, literally. My plan is to get seven more, a wagon and hitch and a whole bunch of beer and make deliveries. Kind of an alternative career. I'll get a picture up when the...

Does anyone know of a John Deere Dealer who has good prices and ships tractors if need be? Someone like Steve Carver for Kubotas?

I'm in the market the next 18 months, hopefully sooner for a compact tractor. After visiting the local JD dealer and looking at the 4000 series I was impressed. One thing I noticed on the back of the 4000 series booklet said it was assembled in Augusta, Georgia. Next it says that "the 4200...

Since a lot of you guys have had experience with earthmoving I wanted to ask some advice on a project I may do this summer. I'm planning to fix a side of the creek that borders our property. It has washed away and cut in on a bend for 100 feet. This is creek that runs 10 feet lower than the...

Well, I could have done this one better. Last summer I locked in at 92cents a gallon the same amount of propane I used last winter. Guess what? After filling the tank 10 days ago I have about 100 gallons left at that price. Then I get to pay market price which was 1.45 a gallon 10 days ago...

I've called several NH dealers around here and have found that when going up from TC25D to 29D and to 33D the price increases nearly $2000 each time. My question is whether it's worth the money or necessary. I plan to use the tractor mostly for finish mowing, rotary mowing, back and box...

We recently bought some land with a barn and a pull handle type outdoor faucet. With the recent cold weather I was wondering how cold it got before some of you put a pipe heater on? Does anyone have experience with the cable type heater or is there another type? Thanks.
