    Snow

    They're calling for 3-5" in west central OHio next few days. Going to fire up the Deere 3033 today and get it ready to plow the long, long driveway. Love to crank up the heat, turn on Sat Radio and sing loudly (and badly) while clearing the snow. The cab prevents any innocents from having...

    Stumbled onto reliable rural internet access

    I've been using it in rural OHio for over a year. Not going to say it's fast ( prob 20-30) but it is reliable. The prior provider was line of sight and it dropped every day. With Verizon we can stream shows and I use it for Zoom without issue, Our area isn't 5G yet

    You "Road" Your Tractor?

    Have a Deere 3033R that I occasionally need to drive 3 miles away to cut a field. I actually enjoy the feeling of driving a tractor on country roads. Turn on the A/C, crank up the Sirius radio and away I go.

    Cooking Mice

    You guys got me thinking. How about stainless bird spikes? The kind you use in a barn. If flexible, wrap near the top of the pipe and secure with clamps. even stuff some of that steel wool in between the spikes.

    Cooking Mice

    Seems nearly every time I start the Deere 3033R I get grass, fur, lots of smoke and a burnt mouse smell coming from the exhaust stack. The lid has a grate on it but there is definitely room in-between the actual pipe and the lid for vermin to climb down. Does a mouse in the exhaust create...

    Rodents win again

    Sticky pads work for me but the tractor is in a barn with lots of stick pads around the doors. I have a couple of the pads inside the cab and they are effective. Never thought of putting them around the front tires. Will add that to the list.
