    Trailer wood deck treatment: Brush on used oil, linseed oil, sealer stain, unicorn tears...?

    So, I went last Saturday and ordered an Amish built 24' X 12' shed. I talked to the fellow making the sheds, and he stocks used oil and offered to spray it for me for a price. I declined, as I can do it myself easy enough with a garden sprayer. His opinion is that some of his sheds on the farm...

    Sitrex SM-180 72" Finish Mower - Used 1 time.

I used it one time at my father in laws place and never used it again. It's taking space in my 12X30 shed for the last 2 years and...

    Ooops... I did it again. B2650 T/L/B to L3560LE-HSTC T/L/B

    Because it's likely to fail again. I'm not the first to see this exact failure in the B26 rear axle.... and I'm not going to stop doing what I do here for at least another couple years. And the cab is really nice!

    Ooops... I did it again. B2650 T/L/B to L3560LE-HSTC T/L/B

    I got it home this evening and started removing the paint from the loader within moments.

    Ooops... I did it again. B2650 T/L/B to L3560LE-HSTC T/L/B

    I lied.... well made an error. It's only $53k plus the obligatory $5800 KTAC for a total outlay of $59k. But.... this should last the rest of mine and my boys lives.... right?

    I still have the 2018 Mule Pro DX. It's a very good machine within its designed use envelope.... it's just not at all a fun or sporty machine with the diesel. It's odd because it actually has great suspension and if going down hill and you hit a bump and catch air, it eats it up like nothing...

    Ooops... I did it again. B2650 T/L/B to L3560LE-HSTC T/L/B

    The right side axle bearing failed allowing the pinion to ring gear mesh to change and wipe a couple teeth from the ring/bull gear on the 2018 B2650. So while the dealer has it under warranty getting a newcomplete set of right side parts loaded, I decided to take trade value (always leans...

    JD 270 Series II skid steer?

    I'll be seeing my buddy this evening... but like my wife said, it's not worth getting upset and burning a friend over this. By the way.... I just left the Kubota dealer, I ordered a L3560 HST+ open station with rear spacers and loaded R4 tires.

    JD 270 Series II skid steer?

    Well.... as it seems.... he was drunk talking and we shook on the deal and now he's backing out. I kept trying to text him Monday while at work saying that I wanted to come after work with cash and the equipment trailer. He kept saying he's really busy and would be working late and couldn't meet...

    JD 270 Series II skid steer?

    I'm assuming another grand for battery, filters and fluids. Maybe belts and hoses.

    He's the original owner, and 450-ish original hours.

    I think the JD Pro 911extender extend-a-hoe is worth 5k alone....

    JD 270 Series II skid steer?

    Damn. I had hoped that some of you may have an opinion on this machine. I've got to decide today since I tasked to my Kubota dealer about buying a L3901 TLB and don't want them to start gathering parts for it if I'm not actually buying it.

    JD 270 Series II skid steer?

    A buddy of mine has a JD 270 Series 2 (8500 lb tire machine) with just over 400 hours sitting in his barn. He has a new set of over the tire tracks and a 8 to 11 foot extend-a-hoe for it. He wants $12k for the whole set up. I've looked and saw that the original 200 skid steers were described...

    Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

    On the way to pick up a Nissan that tossed a rod through the oil pan I can across this VW with some $5 ratchet straps placed semi loosely at the rear in an x pattern. I would call this towing wrong. My 4 tire basket ratchets on the Nissan are what I call good. Each rated 3300 lb work, 10,000...

    Just another junk chainsaw

    Is it really a beast to pull start? I'm wondering if something may be wrong with this saw.

    Just another junk chainsaw

    What would this 034 AV Super be worth to sell today, starts and runs. Very hard to pull, compression is ridiculous and half the time ripped the rope out of my hand while pulling. But if you are man enough, it starts and cuts wood.

    Insurance for personal cargo trailer - what's good?

    You'll need to call your car insurance agent and discuss part of what you ask for. When attached to your car or truck the liability to others is automatically extended to the trailer. But... if you turn and bite a tree/pole with it and damage or destroy the trailer.... not covered. You need to...
