I operate at slower speeds than I could be going. I'm comfortable with the machine, and it works for me. Others (son in law, friends) with more experience could do tasks quicker, but I don't care. I'm learning as I go, and I get a lot more work done, than without a tractor.

interesting I'm a Lefty ... very dominant. I have pellet guns for target practice I had NO IDEA that there was a Lefty / Righty way of doing this ... I've just always adjusted somehow.

Good Monday Afternoon I'm on hold with tax people (2 hrs, back and forth), thought I'd check in. and now my phone battery quit so I got disconnected and had to call back leaving "my person" a message, that I didn't hang up :) uggh - kinda funny, both phones are out of juice anyways, have a...

That's tragic, very sad. About 5 yrs ago a friend (with significant equipment experience) had a roll-over on his rural property - with no one around, he was pinned under the tractor for 5-6 hrs in a dry ditch. He eventually was able to move his hand, reach his cell phone. As I recall, a...

took my buddy to DQ for ice cream - the brownie batter blizzard was good

Could be wonderful, or awful, depending on perspective and available prospects I guess. :)

daugen - praying that you feel better, sounds rough

Looking4new - good post. I agree, I only buy in person ... and I'm a hard sell to start with. Many times the scammers claim that "they are listing the item for their sister, mother, uncle ..." and there is only 1 available photo (never the car's interior) but if you need more info, there is...

it was 4:30 AM, now it's 5:15 AM ... can't get back to sleep. office stuff, and tax files to do. so I might as well pour some coffee and get on with things Good Morning All, be safe and enjoy today

hunt4570 - very impressed with your work and the photos. that will be a good seat for coffee breaks also. well done, that was a lot of work.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo !!! Way to go New property - that's awesome. I'll bet that you will enjoy your tractor time. Keep us posted. Congratulations on your purchase. :)

My "Farm Truck" a 1993 OBS style Chevy Silverado c2500, automatic, ext cab, 6.5 ft bed, high rise canopy, Z71 package (towing, suspension for campers, I think), 2wd, 350 cid, ... 179,000 kms, new 10 ply All Terrain Tires. Had it for 8 years, paid $2500 Cdn. Ised for everything, daily driver...

RNG - I don't believe that there is any kind of escrow service with Market Place, and yes, my experience is mostly via Facebook for that. it's direct between seller and buyer, and there are a lot of scams, shady practises that you need to be aware of. I typically STAY LOCAL, go see what I'm...

no seat time lately, just staring at taxes and spreadsheets

Good Morning Folks, it's 45 min until Friday for me, but many of you are already there. looks like the hydro line clearing people made a mess on my property AGAIN this month, as they cut down trees / brush under the power lines (I was not home I guess). They just cut and left everything -...

welcome to the forum Belarus tractors are cool, but I know nothing about them. There is a wealth of information in the TBN forum though, so I'm sure you'll get some help / direction. Good luck Enjoy the content here.

I could probably use 1-2 of them here in the yard. The garter snakes that I see, mostly collect bugs :) (also good)

about a month ago I bought an 18v cordless Milwaukee Drill / Driver package ... but i used it for the first time YESTERDAY :) It will be very useful around here

So sorry for your loss Torvy. Prayers for comfort and peace that only the Lord can give. Take care.

love that photo BEF ... lots of turtles in this area also ... they even have road signs made :) mostly_ thanks for your notes, they keep me in the loop i'm glad that i finally got my Deposit money back on that tractor in the Market Place listing. Described as a 1991 Case B10 (umm ? ...

and again I learn something new. I've always been taught and filled jerry cans from the ground. but the grounding / static straps is a new idea to me, I'll need to look for them. thanks. i guess that they are a similar idea to the straps put on vehicles to prevent motion sickness.

I did a lot of research and comparisons, before buying the Kubota BX23S - perfect for my needs. (hobby farming) there are a LOT of good tractors and brands out there, buy for what YOU need. as has been noted earlier, the Dealership connection / relationship that you build, can make or break...

Good Morning Everyone, a little bit of catching up in this thread while I have a coffee. Then I'm back to the spreadsheets and tax files in my home office (30 ft away from coffee pot :) ) Sunny day and I want to be outside with the dog I just received my deposit money back on the Market...

Thanks Steve, that was my fear / conclusion

Hi All, I'm out of the loop mostly, and came to see the news on E A ??? - I don't really want to scroll back 175 pages, but the last several pages are about fuel prices and CC stuff. What page can I go back to for the E A update ? I've thought about buying some of their attachments in the...

Thanks t_b_s. I have a possible lead on something, cheap, higher mileage, and I was the previous owner. Might serve me for a year or two. Friend says that it is good to go on roadtrips, so I'm okay with that.

Good Morning Everyone, A few days go by, and I'm a dozen pages behind :) I hope all is well. We are into Spring now, which is great. I decided to "follow" a bunch of you in the GM crowd, so that I can try to keep up on things a bit better. Anyways, nothing new here yet in my world, mostly...

I have a side gig of doing taxes and bookkeeping from my home office for a few dozen clents and small businesses. i just heard about this the other day from a tax client. I'm still checking into it as it was news to me. My understanding was that the property owner of underutilized properties...

Good Morning Everyone, I know that I've been hit / miss for a couple hundred pages of this thread. I'm managing. Nothing new yet in the big picture of my pending divorce. making plans (house, yard, property) for when I am eventually able to keep the house Sciatica has calmed down (that was...

Good Day Everyone

I'm not much of a post counter, and the GM threads, and groan threads don't count ( which is where most of my recent activity lands ), but I thought that once I hit 2000 posts - FINALLY done Today !!! , I thought that I'd graduate from Veteran level to a slightly different level. I'm a little...

I gave it a day off

goldfish ... I'd hold it under water puppy ... just tickle it kitten ,,, tickle fight piranha ... they are scared of you, swim to the other side of tank (my experience, but I'm no expert and shall not be liable if results vary) eagle ... are you nuts ? bears ... bear bangers be my friend rats...

I wouldn't pick a fight with any of them.

if you can make use of tractors and equipment, I think they are a good investment. lightens the workload, more productivity and work completed, and in many cases, tax credits, so - yes, worthwhile in my opinion. Plus enjoyment has value also.

Tinhack - I'm so sorry for your loss. That will always be a memorable hug. Take care in the tough days ahead. gstrom99 - always tough to lose those pet members of the family. thoughts with you also

Greetings All, good evening to the Good Morning crowd. I'm busy recovering from the sciatica, and though I'm not one to complain, this has been a tough one. With my cerebral palsy (since birth) already compromising my balance, this excruciating pain was almost unbearable. With forearm...

very likely, but I am chatting with the "seller" who is listed in my community. I think it is a scam (see original post), I also think the details are ALL suspect. with my 26 yrs in Corrections, this is just another scammer

this item is NOW listed at a value of $28,000 new, and the price has been dropped to $1000. I think I will go there and offer $750, after getting the actual details / history

oh, I like that idea :)

$1200 Cdn - and in my town, needs some minor work (perhaps a LOT of minor work) :) a second photo shows a 2021 ad, valued at $26,000 Cdn I have a buddy that could probably make use of it. I'd like to see it and get serial #, hp size, engine details, year manufactured, and overall condition...

probably the TR320, possibly the Highway 3

when they are that ridiculous I like to string them along a bit, I suggest they call me on my personal phone ... and then I give them the local police, non-emergency number :) this thing looks older, more beat up than a 2021 model ... not sure what I'd do with it anyway

that's what I was thinking too. I can't find any info on it though. it's just a really sketchy ad, even if the machine is ok

correct :)

local ad seller says it is a 2021 Kabota (sic) diesel 4x4 ride on mower photo says RANSOMES ... or something like that I have NO IDEA of Brand, Model, HP, year etc ... the ad, description, year, price, colour, and seller's reputation are all SKETCHY curious if anybody knows anything about it...

Good Evening, went to town with a friend today, we both had some errands to do. I bought a book, some health food stuff, some birthday stuff for my grandson (turns 2 yrs next week), went to Starbucks for coffee (rare), and wandered around Canadian Tire for a few household items (drill bits...

Good Morning Everyone, I missed you guys. (I'm 150 pages behind on this thread, so no idea what is going on). Anyways, It's good to check in. It's been a busy, somewhat difficult month, and some internet issues keeping me offline and away from TBN etc... I'm doing Okay. Managed to get...

snowed all day, probably another 20 cms / 8 inches - it stopped at 8 pm, but there was a vehicle in my way and blocking access again. (people are dumb) I'll get to the tractor tomorrow I could probably push the vehicle out of the way, but that would complicate things ... I have no where to be...

You have some great machines there Arly A, thanks for posting the photos. Moved to this acreage in March 2001 (armed with a shovel) - Three pre-school kids, and then Christian school tuition. I wanted and could have benefitted from my tractor ... but, I could afford a used, ride on mower with...

Just because you Can, doesn't mean that you Should. If this is a Bucket List kinda thing, then by all means, Do It, be your own GC, because you will be paying attention, and you won't ever regret the accomplishment of knowing that you achieved that goal. Even better if you know people in the...

Greetings Everyone, wanted to check in again. Winter and Me do not get along well, just saying. crazy couple of weeks here, and I'm just trying to get through the nasties of winter. My truck got fixed last week, just in time to beat the Severe Winter Storm Weather the next day. It is a 2 wd...

I need a flip phone so that it fits in my pocket ... if I had to actually carry a smart phone or have it attached to my belt / hip, I would be destroying that phone every week when I fall down. I need my hands to be free, more than I need a cell phone. I only need it for calls (incoming...

in the next few months, I will be upgrading from the old style samsung flip phone (fits in my pocket, keeps my hands free to carry cane, groceries etc) to the new Samsung Android Z Flip 5 smartphone. current phone,1 yr old, still available anticipated new phone

I'm stlll catching up guys ... not a bad way to start the year, and with a coffee Riptides - my condolences, so sorry for your loss :( prayers for comfort lost a very close aunt on Sat, tough times for families when that is a memory of loved ones in the Holiday season m7040 - I can relate to...

Happy New Year Everyone !!!

Good Evening Everyone. I'm sorry that I missed a few weeks again, and especially disappointed that I missed the Christmas Day greetings. I hope that it was wonderful for you all. My Christmas was quiet and alone, other than lunch at a friends place with him and his wife. That was a nice...

Good Morning, Had to do more snowplowing this week, so I got a bit more seat time in - yay. There is a break in the weather today, so I will be getting to town for a few basics and some errands. estranged wife is recovering from her recent MVA, no longer in pain. Her VW New Beetle is being...

Good Morning Everyone Thanks for the continued support, I appreciate it. That's rough daugen - you did the right thing, and very generous. Tough to let go of that mistreatment of your donation gift. To a lesser scale, I've been there a few times and it really is a sour experience. I have...

Good Evening Everyone. Winter (finally :) ) hit us hard in the past 5-6 days with about 12-14 inches of wet, heavy white-stuff (not my favourite), particularly on Saturday when we endured an Extreme Snowfall Warning. They also had to completely shut down the Trans-Canada Highway (main highway...

I'm not an idiot, and neither are they. Give me a little credit. They have market territory for both Bearco and Kubota brands. 6 yrs ago I looked into buying this agri business as a matter of fact (before the Bearco connection). when I looked at the Little Bear last year, it was an initial...

i added more details in subsequent posts - all i know is that it is not Chinese... dealer told me directly, and told my friend the same. There seems to be a Kubota affiliation (marketing ?), though not Kubota branded. The "make" in the spec sheet says Kubota. I'm just trying to figure it out...

Everything that I find, refers to the company, brand and locations, not the product specs. I have the impression that there may be a business affiliation with Kubota however. The local agri place carries both brands, and the online information shows many dealerships with both brands. Learning...

my limited understanding is that the EPA would only be required for larger machines. I don't think it is a B & S engine, and I thought it was diesel, but I haven't actually looked at it on the lot in over a year. so it might still be a 3 dressed up as a 9 :) very curious about it, I wonder...

What I do know is that it is NOT a Chinese Brand and not rebranded - that was my hunch (and a certain No), and so that was my first question to the Agri business owner last year. I'm going to dig a little deeper to find out where it is manufactured. India is my second thought. I just don't...

Good Evening everyone, my friend (not yet on this TBN forum) is planning to buy a Little Bear mini-excavator. up close, it looks like good value for the money and features, but I know nothing about it does anyone here, know the brand or model details ? completely new to me, but the local...

probably not :), the bear banger worked and the dog is on point due to the local wildfires, the flare bangers were restricted the banger was louder than any shotgun I've heard or fired

I have a 40 ft "Big Steel Box" - great for storage. General storage right now. A 20 ft Box (sea can) is easier and cheaper to transport, and may be useful if it is only for a tractor etc. If you got a High Cube Container, there is an extra Foot of height, and folding the ROPS down may not be...

🇨🇦 🤠 - I have a single action pellet gun, about 200 pellets, mostly for rodents, or to sting the bear, coyotes - I have a bear banger, 3 cartridges (had 4, spent one earlier when the bear was 30 ft from me, and moving closer) I'm glad that I don't really need to think about this too much. Be...

HAITI ?

Good Day Everyone I'm hopelessly behind on this thread (about 60 pgs) but thought a brief update would be good, plans are still in limbo generally... Quick update - my estranged wife had a single vehicle accident on Sat. Road conditions were icy, freezing and not yet sanded / salted. Slid...

Thought I'd put in a photo or two - the tractor has priority in the winter now. 2006 (bought new) Artic Cat 400 cc, automatic, 4x4, winch, slowblade - I love this thing. Great ground clearance, pulls trailers easily. Saves me a lot of walking around, and time.

did I read that right ? $14K monthly ? yikes. All the best. I thought my Botox shots (for pain, not vain :) ) were bad at $1800 every 6 months - I am getting more Botox tomorrow ... it's brutal, but it works for a time.

good morning nights are getting colder, more wind lately. at 10 AM it is currently 0 Celsius (32 F, so at freezing) - brought the dog in curious how many of you have aquariums in the house ... I think that I will get a 30 gal tank, when things are settled here ... I've had aquariums for most of...

Buckeye - praying that your son has arrived safely

:) perfect

I need to keep an eye to this post, thanks all, very informative. I've used Irish Spring soap bars in the vehicles, while in storage for winter, for the same reason as the fryer sheets. I'm going to try the Bounce sheets for general use ... garage, other equipment, sea can etc. I can hardly...

Good Morning All, my sleep schedule is messed up today nothing for news here, still a waiting game. i just need some forward movement, this is really dragging on and now nothing will even start to get resolved until the new year is my guess. i want to get things done in the yard etc, but my...

+2 seat switch I have a cub cadet, and I think there is also an inline wiring fuse in there somewhere under the seat - I haven't had a recent check though I'm most impressed that yours has a KILL SWITCH :) - I still need to add that, and a block heater to my tractor

I did not think that Winter even applied in Texas :) kinda the Spring, Summer, Extra Summer, Fall seasons Happy Black Friday

1 tractor with several implements, 2 ride-on mowers, 1 ATV with snowblade, 1 zero-turn mower

Good Morning Everyone Mostly - I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord grant you comfort and peace. I am so sorry that I haven't been around the GM / TBN pages for so long, I am still catching up. Thank you (as always) for keeping me in the loop with your summary posts. Prayers. Take...

Have a good weekend Everyone. nothing to report here yet - holding pattern, limbo state

In spite of a cushioned childhood involving disability, my own physical perspective on life, surgeries and hospitalizations, my personality was kinda fearless, risk taker, willing to try anything etc ... not always the best decisions ... I have too many nicknames and wanted something different...

Good Evening Everyone I just wanted to check in again. I'm doing fine. The 4 way meeting that was scheduled with the Lawyers for tomorrow morning (Nov 8) had to be cancelled / postponed because my estranged wife is still not feeling well after 11 weeks - the waiting game continues. Now they...

Good Morning Everyone I hope that all is well in TBN land I felt like a bit of a caveman yesterday ... we lost power for 6 hours, but I had fire :) Since I could really do nothing in my home office, the house, or the garage ... I decided that it was a day for outdoor work. After a crazy...

my thought ... don't duplicate equipment (but get a second tractor when you can). two tractors of similar capability seems unnecessary for my property - keep the Mahindra - get a second, Larger Tractor, with a bucket, maybe a cab - have them implement specific, so that there is less time...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the encouragement and prayers. I'll get through this. sorry that I am so Out Of The Loop here lately stay safe everyone, praying

Good Evening Everyone, I hope that things are going well. I haven't been here in 2-3 weeks so I thought I'd check in. No news in the dissolving marriage yet, but there are plans for a 4 way meeting (both of us, with our lawyers) on Nov 8/23 so hopefully we can get things resolved simply. Due...

Good Morning Everyone Due to the BC Wildfires in this immediate area, I was right on the border of the Evacuation Zones of Alerts and Orders. There were several fires nearby within minutes, closest one about 3 kms away. Two of the three highways were closed down. I packed up and left for a...

it has been 25 yrs since i was in California, but Northern California really appealed to me. Former girlfriend was from Visalia, not too far from Fresno. Nice area. Went with her family to the Sequoia National Forest (awesome). Sacramento - The Train Museum - terrific, esp if you like trains...

Good Evening Everyone, It's been a busy week, in spite of having no vehicle to drive (past 3 weeks) - occasionally someone has picked me up while they go to town etc. So I'm managing. Today I had a ride in so that I could insure my flatdeck trailer, so that my son-in-law can return my trailer...

For me, that is one of the hardest things to do when raising chickens. I have culled one or two Roos for aggressiveness, given several away, snacked on a few, and lost a few to age, heart stoppage, and sadly predators. I know that they protected the hens. I will be getting 75 - 100 day old and...

BEF - I also have a trail to walk through in the garage. :) I can't wait to clear things out (once things settle for us) and then organize tools, workbench, shelving, collectibles etc. ... and to make good use of the sea can for other / seasonal things

I am still catching up on months of hit and miss here, but I am praying as I read these posts. And I thank all of you for your prayers and support as my life circumstances change along the way. There is a lot of smoke here currently due to 350 wildfires active in the Province at this point -...

Jubaijohnson - greetings from BC Canada, I've been a TBN member for awhile, but lately have been in / out of the forum due to the personal happenings around here. Glad that you found this forum and group. My 1993 Silverado only has 172,000 kms on it (107,000 m) so there should be some life in...

Good Morning Everyone, have an enjoyable Sunday. my daily driver truck quit running a few days ago (on the property though) . not great. I have no wheels at present, need that fixed soon. Probably a tow in to mechanic early this week. (distrib cap, rotor, ignition coil, fuel pump, fuel...

I have a healthy fear of roll-overs (and a physical diability, so I can't expect to jump clear ... ever), and I'm still quite limited in my tractor experiences. I go low, and slow, learn as I go, and get a lot more work done than I (or anyone else that watched me grow up) ever expected to be...

I should get a Dr's note and claim it as a medical expense also - lots of back issues that persist after a MVA years ago. Thank you for that info

Hi Everyone, happy Sunday not much new for me - no progress yet with the lawyers or finances, the limbo time is driving me crazy, so much that I want to do. I just want my own space to plan and do, but I need to wait. As far as I know the bear has not been back near the house, yard, chickens...

I agree with Jeff9366. I think that the EV is all political hype, and not very practical, nor is the expected environmental savings anything near what is promoted. The biggest problem that I see is that the EVs are great for general commuting, but not great for road trips. (read PITA, for all...

if i'm reading those two links properly, the trailer weights are noted in the specs. my preference is the lower profile equipment haulers... centre of gravity as low as possible is my goal

Moved to this property / acreage in March 2001, bought my Kubota BX23S TLB and implements in September 2018 ... that's 17.5 yrs waiting on and dreaming about a tractor. Much of the challenge was simply needing to be able to budget for it. I sure like it now though.

I'm curious what others think, have experience with regarding the ZETOR tractor brand ? Mostly because I know nothing about them except from the Ads here, and a quick internet search, tractordata etc. As far as I can tell there are No Dealerships in Canada so, what does it stack up against ...

Hi All, I'm praying for those as I read and catch up ... Buppies and LS among others I am probably a good 150 pages behind in the content of this thread, so just moving forward. Finally had a day where I could momentarily get back to some bookkeeping work, and get a bit more organized...

Give it space (that's all I got :) )

i don't like snakes, and apart from Garter snakes they all make me nervous. (my gait and unsteady balance are probably the biggest reason of my concern though)

Good Day, thought I'd give a brief update again. This Separation process is a long and slow train, but at least the lawyers are chatting now. Had to provide a Financial Statement, as accurate as I could - I have the details pretty much figured out because I have been crunching budget and $...

My dog doesn't like strangers on the property, loud noises, carrots, bears and coyotes My chickens don't like dirty water, after the ducks have been in the child's wading pool. The fish don't like it if someone taps on the aquarium and the bear doesn't like original PINE flavoured Pine-Sol (that...

Congratulations on your new thing. That will be very useful. I only know a little about tractors, so no suggestions here other than to stay safe and have fun. I'm not even sure what attachments are available.

thank you, not sure if you are a part of the Good Morning (thread) crowd, but I have posted occasional updates there ... last week was chaos. It's a good, social group there. I am going to send you a Hi in a private message, just so I don't lose sight of you. Thanks :)

Sadly, there is every indication that my estranged wife of 27 yrs has Borderline Personality Disorder. She decided to leave the marriage in the past year, and we are now dealing with the next steps. Lots of Prayers, Trusting God and Waiting on the Lord for me. The next future chapter will be...

Agreed, not the same I have my Kubota BX23S and love it, does everything that I need it to do. If I still needed a heavier lift capacity for pallet forks, I'd be looking at something a bit larger ... B Series etc. we previously were beekeeping and lifting 1200 lbs of hives on pallets, with...

Depends on the week ... out here :)

Canadian Apologies - we're sorry :) - from BC regarding Quebec's fires, and possibly smoke from Alberta also. BC's smoke is a ways off yet. Stay safe

I really appreciate this TBN community, and all the tractor advice, information, support and prayers. I will get through this. Thank You.

thanks txdon, and others - two of my friends, and my cousin, were / are all prepared to assist me in the event that I need to hide my own equipment for a time. One friend has a flat deck tow truck and the other friend lives 10 minutes away and has space to put everything. that would be a...

TRUTH OF THE DAY 🤠 a Tractor sounds like a wonderful idea ... you probably need it more than you need your car. implements are wonderful too, and you can never have enough my suggestion (never to talk you out of a zero-turn) might be to get the tractor with planned implements, and add a...

Hi Everyone, busy, crazy week and a bit ... - visit with daughter was good, she enjoyed the 4 wheeling in the Jeep, took the bus home to Vancouver (6 hrs) on Sat May 27 - cousin drove up from Abbotsford (5 hrs) for a few days Sun May 28 - Tues May 30, for my birthday, and to visit, take me to...

I used to be very specific with which 4-5 friends could potentially borrow the tractor ... they have experience and or money if there were issues. I have adjusted my list down as 2 of them proved to me ... never again, their experience was insufficient. I'm glad that I could help them out, and...

that's a good excuse to buy another tractor :) ... never can have too many

Good Afternoon Everyone no updates yet - still waiting to hear from the lawyers re Separation / Buy-out. I need to meet with the Banks again also. I'm still crunching numbers, all around some bookkeeping to occupy my time in the meantime my out-of-town daughter is here visiting this week...

What would concern me most about that idea ... is Squatters. They would never leave, while citing that they had your permission and rights to be there, - months later. A complete hassle / hustle in my opinion.

well, i'm impressed - way to go thanks for sharing photos ... i have plans for a 30 x 40 ft barn, hybrid

it's the write-offs that pay off in the long run, but that is not for the back yards with 6 hens my coop / run is all scraps ... practically free. bought feeders, water cans then there is this one :) ...

oh, the stories i could tell ... i worked in probation, bail, parole ... but parenting was tough

Always buy the loader with the tractor. everything else is optional, typically better deals as implements are added

No but I did buy a vintage, rare garden tractor off of Marketplace, from another province. I only saw 2 photos, knew that I wanted it running or not (sentimental reasons, though no connection to that unit). Anyways, the only way that it worked out was that a recently-and-never-met-in-person...

This thread needs emojis for ... grimace, uggh, ouch, smarts, silly, costly, dumb, and glad you survived :)

Zoinks ... I see what you did there :)

Happy Sunday Afternoon, and Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms in your circles late edit, just came across this... covers it all <3

no photo sorry from Spring to Fall I typically have a 100 foot long premium quality farm hose ($120.00) on the back yard, servicing the fire pit, and the chicken /duck run. so, 2 yrs ago I'm cleaning up the yard, accidentally dropped the box blade as I came around the corner ... the prongs...

tractordata.com doesn't always have photos, so it might take a little digging

my guess is this one ... 2012 model https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/001/2/6/1266-craftsman-10725004.html CTX 9000 Series

Good Morning All still going through the motions, slow going process might mow the lawn today with the zero turn I just came across this interesting find on MarketPlace. Never heard of it... guessing the 12 / 39 is the hp / mower deck. Has a 12 hp briggs & straton. Anyone know anything...

I have a Husqvarna straight shaft with blade for the general / heavy work, an Echo trimmer with string or plastic prongs for the finesse work, and a small Stihl chainsaw for the big stuff. 20+ years for most I see the cheap stuff at the landfill, in perfect, non-running condition

Don't rule out mini vans, most would have a 3rd row seating. "The issue is cargo space. The compass....try cramming in 2 lawn chains, two ball bags, 5-gal bucket of balls, coaches duffle with catchers gear, couple blankets, and a fold-up wagon.....all to tote to the ballfields a few times a...

OR, could it be soooo ridiculous, that no one would bother to take them up on the offer (with that being the whole intention) ... a way of pacifying someone who is complaining about having a tractor maybe. ie: See, I TRIED to rent it out, but there were no takers ...

RUN .... what could possibly go wrong ? ... umm, everything

Good Morning my appt with the lawyer went reasonably well yesterday (Mon). so much to think about, but I FINALLY feel like I was being heard by somebody (other than friends, family) who can make a difference in my circumstances. this is just the start, but there is a direction now, and for...

Good Morning All, Dog woke me up, but after that ... i'm not ready for the day yet. Too early, going to have another nap before considering my day.

Good Morning Everyone - greetings I've been busy with tax files Also busy with appointments and Buy-Out calculations re the Sep Agmt plans. I went to the Bank (current lender) last Friday and provided as much information as I could to try and secure a new mortgage / LOC. They discovered a...

Good Morning WOW, I'm way behind in this thread. carry on ...

this sounds like it would be a separate insurance rider for that item. we did that for camera equipment. I'm in Canada, so probably not as informed as others for this question. My thought is however that you don't need to be a farm or ranch in order to own a tractor. For a $7000 tractor i...

Greetings from BC Canada. Welcome to the TBN forum, you'll enjoy this group, the knowledge and information. Tell us a little about yourself, your tractor, interests ... up to you. Thanks for joining us.

Church was good, followed by baptisms x6, in the Lake (chilly water me thinks), then a potluck at the church. Today it rained all afternoon - evening, so my bon-fire was delayed for another day. I managed to get a bit of seat-time in yesterday though. Moved a large pile of dirt that was...

I drive a '93 Silverado C2500 pick-up OBS. It does everything I need for now. I cringe a the cost of new trucks, so the 30 yr old one is fine for me. only 169,000 kms (purchased for $2500 Cdn, in 2016)

not that i know of

Spent the morning casually at home, did a few things on the tax files, swept the floor, time with the dog, loaded the truck. Did the scraps pick-up at Salvation Army ... lots of bread today, the chickens will be happy, mixes up their diet a bit more. While in town I delivered 6 dozen eggs to a...

I tend to put blades inside pieces of corrugated cardboard like the lids of a box, have done the duct tape think also. an old metal can is used for nails, wire, filings, blades etc anything small pieces of used metal really. glass pieces, broken jars etc go in a metal garbage can I regularly...

Happy belated Birthday to BEF's dad great photos, great thread

Buppies - prayers for things today BEF - looks like you are having too much fun Chris - glad that the fire didn't get any closer (yikes) - maybe the garden wagon is now a garden art piece LS / Drew - I had a date once that did not go according to plan. Like a perfect gentleman I opened the car...

Good Evening, Thank you for the prayers. I now have an appointment with the Lawyer that was highly recommended to me - Mon May 1 in the afternoon. I need to figure out a way to cover the Retainer costs ($3500) before he can actually do anything though. Hoping that works out soon, it's been...

Trusting God - there is a plan. I just need to do my part and continue to do the right thing. I believe that the truth will come out and the emotional / mental health issues will become evident. i'm just crunching all the costs as i go. Trying to be fair, amidst chaos.

Skip this post if you'd like, I just wanted to give an accurate update Good Morning Everyone, just wanted to check in, as the ongoing saga here continues ... prayers always appreciated, here's an update ... (sorry, tough to explain, I'm describing, not venting, I am so numb by this process...

that's a pretty big canvas to work with ... so many options :) i have only been to a few places in the States ... camping down the West Coast, i love California, Oregon, i miss Michigan (studied there), Chicago was fabulous, Florida was memorable, I'd like to get to Arizona

Happy Anniversary About 35 yrs ago, I took my date out to a fancy restaurant in Vancouver, the bill before gratuity, was $175.00 :)

Sweet tractor, Congratulations

Good Afternoon All, it's not a wonder that I can't keep up with this thread, 5 new pages since I looked yesterday ... For the past 6-8 months, my home office has been bogged down with dated bookkeeping from clients, bringing in 3 - 4 years at a time. I have been able to slowly make progress...

The tractor tracker might be a good idea, I have no idea and no apps on my flip phone. Is this property that is vacated, no one lives there ? My first thought is to make sure that the tractor is completely hidden and secured. Wall / gate it in at the building, and put a heavy chain locked...

Good Morning Everyone it's now been a week since one of our tenants unexpectedly passed away (health, lung issues). We've known her for 25 yrs and she and my wife were best friends ever since. We are sill in shock, and it is still awkward between my estranged wife and I. Wanted to giver her...

the phone's Styrofoam packaging

I think that I WANT A PINK tractor next, kinda cool

unless this is a job that you want to do yourself ... it might be good to get a quote for the install from a service department of a local dealer, or from an agri maintenance repair place ... they would know that install and parts as routine. Then you can decide if it is worth your personal...

I would love a Ventrac 4620Y or P, or a nice 4200 but currently they are out of my price range. The tractor and an older zero-turn will do for now. i'd have no idea how to deal with march / swamp areas though

There are two Country Women near me that impress me so much, both can out-work most guys (including me) that i know. Both are fairly petite, at about 5' 5" and 110 lbs or so, tough as nails, single-handedly pulling calves, operating equipment, building fences, driving cattle, packing hay etc, -...

Good Morning All sleep escaped me last night - that was challenging it was a slow relaxed morning, coffee, something to eat. client came by to update and chat will start loading garbage into truck, for a dump run in a day or two have a great day

you will always need a tractor with a loader, when you have property what is this "depreciation" that you speak of ? my new 2018 Kubota is worth more now than when i bought it tractors and implements are my kryptonite :)

Option # 3 gets my vote. and the Kawasaki engines are bullet-proof. Kubota has some good zero-turns. if spendy $$$ is still on the table, then I'd look at a Ventrac 4200 (or Steiner) zero turn - that is my dream mower, and the hills are conquered also. You have several pieces of equipment...

Good Evening Everyone. I'm doing okay, nothing new to report. Trying to figure out the Separation / Divorce matters (long process) and feeling quite stuck / stymied about almost everything right now. Praying. Praying for a complete healing (physically, mental health, emotionally...

i also do that, but i send them a personal dart directly :) ... i know, water off a duck

Most effective response that I have given is ... YOU ARE A SCAMMER AND HAVE BEEN REPORTED, GO AWAY !!!

SCAM - don't reply at all, they need no information

as much as this thread is revived after 6 years, ... interesting discussion

if it needs a new roof, what is left ? this shelter is basically a roof on posts (and you don't want the posts) rather than spending all the time, efforts, risks, and permits to haul it down the road, I would either 1) dismantle to manageable sections, 2) dismantle completely and salvage what...

went with a friend this afternoon to pick up a truck that he bought this week. 1.5 hrs each way, he drove it home, I drove his car back. he bought a 1989 Nissan Regular Cab, 4x4, 5 speed standard, long bed pick-up. He's very happy with it - should be a fun project for him My wife had a 1991...

Torvy - yes, something like that.... generally a vest pocket, coat pocket, cargo pants ... I still need ball room

I too am looking for a decent compact camera, $500 range ... Nikon or Canon, maybe Kodak ? - it needs to fit into my jacket pocket, as I don't want to carry it - not too tiny, i have large mitts :) - digital - zoom lens - don't need or want extra lens, pieces ... my daughter is a photographer...

my thought is keep what you have, and go get a decent Zero Turn mower ... no regrets :)

I'm sorry.

IF you trade your wife's car in, you won't be able to afford ANYTHING :)

I don't think any beer would work right now, but I have tried green beer a few times. more of a Guinness (also Irish) or Heineken (double Dutch) drinker, on those rare occasions, but a Molson Canadian is everywhere. I won't be thinking beer for at least a week though.

Good Afternoon Everyone I've been napping a lot lately, not feeling great the last 3 days so just been taking it easy. Starting to feel on the good side of this. I have not caught up on this thread yet. Happy St Patrick's and green beer Day. Have a great weekend

Happy Birthday Drew - have an awesome day

I thought I was the only one, and I'm also 58. I'm getting better at it over time, but it is still a very slow process for me. - take it slowly - open spaces, watch for obstacles - 6 PM on the steering wheel - use the mirrors - have a more experienced buddy with you when needed - snow and ice...

if the JD used market is anything like the Kubota used market, your tractor's value may have Increased in the past 2 years. this week I saw market place listings for $27K and $33K Cdn for used Kubota sub-compact tractors with less than 100 hrs respectively. Couldn't hurt to ask at the...

Good Evening Everyone - I could wait an hour and make it a legitimate Good Morning, but I'm here now. It's been a busy weekend and I'm getting tired. Went to a Celebration Of Life Service yesterday, for a 55 yr old friend who died unexpectedly. A story of Faith, Struggles, Pain, and...

Husqvarna straight shaft brush cutter / whipper with a three point tri-blade. It beats up everything, including 2" diameter trees, thistle etc. Probably have 1000 hrs on it since I bought it. (more hours than the tractor time). Love it, have gone through several blades, and I bought a newer...

BX23S package is $35K in Canada

My condolences in your loss Willy, may the Lord grant you comfort and peace at this difficult time. 56 years is amazing, praying for you.

Favourite trucks ... of the ones that I've owned 1) 1993 Chevy Silverado C2500 ext cab, automatic 350 cid V8, Z71 package (2wd) beefy suspension (?) with highback canopy, 6.5 ft box - this is my current truck, just hit 169,000 kms last week (barely broken in). I love this truck, it's in good...

Good Afternoon nothing really new yet on the personal side, but winter is almost gone (snow for next 2-3 days) and temperatures are in the low C range (1C - 5C, or 33F - 41F) so, ... it's almost shorts and t-shirts weather for me - sunny today have a good day everyone

agreed - the reading pane keeps getting narrower, and too many distractions with other info

AMEN, nuff said THAT is the sign of a GOOD Dealership, awesome service... and the sale isn't even made yet

good info

Good Afternoon. Church was good, as was the chilli lunch that followed, nice to see people (as i don't get out much) Dog is outside I think that I need a nap today

if you have a loader, that might get the front tires in the air

Good Morning Everyone, Have a great day, nothing but office paperwork for me right now.

can the roof be sectioned into 3 x 15 ft pieces ? a flatbed semi trailer sounds like a good option if the roof can be slowly / carefully lowered off the post / barrels onto a trailer, that would be good is the new location prepped, accessible, and ready ? I think the roof and telephone poles...
