Like so many things in the past, “Taken by fire.” I took some come from away friends around my hometown and I spent more time telling them about what used to be there but that it burned down. Fire, plague and pestilences seen to figure predominantly in our past.

It would be cool to see a current picture of that tree.

Almost dripping wet paper towel followed by a dry one. Generally my stoves burn hot enough for long enough that there isn’t much soot build up.

Has anyone installed a receiver on their bh bucket? This would allow for a range of possible connections. Keeping it out of the way but still serviceable would be the trick.

I have never washed my tractor. It gets greased, maintained, pto and hydraulics capped when not in use and is stored in an open side shed. I treat my tractor as a tool to be respected and cared for. Caked on mud gets rinsed off by driving across the brook. I guess it depends on your relationship...

It definitely is until it isn’t.

I have used a service like this and I’m impressed with how quickly and accurately it worked!

PTO still engaged?

We too, went the 22kw route. No regrets! We just had the 1 year service with 80 hours of runtime. Bring it on!

The width of the box blade should just cover your wheel tracks. My 48” box covers my 44” tractor width wheel tracks.

I would say that land is being reclaimed following sand storms. Probably fertile land underneath.

The same was said about auto pilot on airplanes. Try flying those bad boys now with our it, lol!

I always though they left the ground cultivated and fertilized. The movement of the pen was the tractor although it moved slow. We moved our’s in strips over an old garden bed in a straight line every few days. By the time the chickens went to the great beyond an old garden spot was revitalized...

Any concern the new drain valve will catch on things when the mower isn’t installed?

I have 2 Drolets. Both are stellar performers and designed for 2000 sq ft areas. I replace up the door gaskets every year and it keeps the chimney clean. My models require minimal clearances due to insulated sides and back. I have heat pumps for when we are not home.

My vote would be that there wasn’t enough overlap on the pto shaft going from the smaller to larger tractor and it chances are it was pretty “warm” when it failed. IMHO

I have had the same issue lately with mine. The outage goes on and off and on and off. The generator recognizes the outage and starts but the transfer switch is confused. Manually throw the transfer switch to the down position and everything will be fine. Sometimes the disconnect is not smooth...

Sure those are tomatoes? Lol

Calf shelters.

Retirement at 55 meant sacrifices. I was once told that for every year before 65 that you retire you gain 5 years. I’m not sure if that is true, ask me again in 30 years, I hope. I lived my retirement financial lifestyle 2 years before retiring. I proved I could live on the money and allowed me...

Have you considered removing your teeth? My BH66 bucket has 3 teeth and they bolt on. Not that I have removed them but it could be done. I find my FEL does a better job for my ditching needs in most places. I am interested in the answers to your question.

I have found loppers work best. My set has extendable handles and a ratcheting head which allow me to keep my hands back. For removal of briars and bramble I use the box blade with just the scarifiers touching about 2-4” in the ground. Several passes and everything is pulled out.

Vessey’s is our choice. They were originally seeds developed in the Maritimes for the Maritimes. They have been bought by Monsanto but still our first choice.

I put mine at the front edge of my stove with my water bath behind it to help distribute the moisture. It is either pushing or pulling the air around it. Where ever you get the best action would be a good starting point.

Pictures of your barrels, please.

There are 2 light connection behind the seat. One is switched through the key and the other one all the time. It needs to be connected to the switch connector otherwise it will constantly draw a small charge.

A good plan is to start and run your generator 10 minutes. I have been doing this for 25 years and twice I found problems. A rodent chewed fuel line and dirty plugs. Not a good time to find out when you need it. We lose power at least 2 times a year for more than 8 hours and 4 times for a couple...

I like to think of them as Team projects. Happy wife, Happy life!

If you do not mow it will grow up in alders and what ever is naturalized on your land. Whether a finish mower or brush mower, it it necessary to manage a fire break around your home and out buildings. There is a balance between amount of mowing for safety versus therapeutic value versus time...

I don’t chop wood but make firewood from 8’ lengths delivered. My activities are getting limited due to age and interest but making my own firewood and handling it are one of my forms of exercise. It heats me many times. When I cut it, split it, pile it (in Holz Hausens) to dry and then move it...

I have used 3 of them for my 2300 sq ft 2 storey home for 7 years. I use wood heat for comfort in the sitting areas. Great savings over oil, gas and baseboard electric.

FYI ... While other barns maybe bigger, yours is not a small barn. Nice work!

OMG! Not the orange shirt!

The seat belt will definitely do the job!

I mulch them in to the grass each fall with the mower blowing the remaining windrow into fern bed along the brook. The fern bed benefits and no dead grass from being smothered. The organic matter help with the thatch.

$800-1200 would be a good price.

Here is the page from my operator’s manual.

Not sure where you are getting your tire pressure values but here is a screen shot of the manual for tire pressures on the BX2370-1.

Back blade has been sold but I am still looking for a 60” back blade with offset.

Nice blade but too big for my scut.
