Sunk the bottom plows (moldboard for those that prefer that 😃) into the garden area today.. Was still a bit wet and yes we'll have rain tonight..but I gotta get started at some point🤷 About spun down once but was able to pull out with the locking differential.. Pic

Had a bunch of logs given to me, over last few weeks it's been cut, split and stacked mostly.... done the math..it's about 4.5 cords of wood when stacked full with the extra stack in front now ...you can see where I buried a post on each end for a third stack.. The logs left on the ground...

Wasn't impressed by what was available online or in stores .. so collected scrap and proceeded to build this.. 16" wide by 22" long Flukes from galvanized Angle and anchor pivot 3/16" .. Used a 1/2" rebar ground down for rod. And 1.5" by .5" thick adjustable handle from an old plow for the...

Got a bone in chuck roast hiding in the pan..seasoned, floured and browned then added potatoes, onions, celery mushrooms didn't have any carrots.. so no carrots😏 Brined it with water, stock and homemade muscadine wine . Cooking on the smoker grill.. over oak and pecan wood .. enjoy.

Sliced the entire spot with the subsoiler first.. then put the JD bottom plows to work . The hardpan wouldn't let me go as deep as I wanted to the last time I rolled it over .. well I could stop the tractor this time if I wanted to with the bottom plows.. Beer time 🙂

5lb leg smoked 3hrs at about 200-250 degrees ... Enjoy

Layered the veggies, seasonings, then added pats of butter .. topped with homemade beef stock(added a dash of muscadine wine) .. then the seasoned roasts on top with some stock poured over them ... Smoked approximately 2.5-3 hrs. Finished product... Every bite whether veggie, stock or meat...

My friend thinned his pines about 3 yrs ago... Behind where the fire is burning there's planted pine saplings where the loading brow was.. he wanted to see them better. Well a little fire took care of that. Established break and backfire behind the smoke and fire in pics. Nothing better than...

My garden area is low black silty dirt, great for most crops.. taters and peanuts hate it. I do a small bed just for myself and wife, good sandy soil dug from another property of mine.. They're showing off, hopefully new reds just in time for Thanksgiving! Btw this is South Georgia...this crop...

Getting lots of sand abrasion in the high wear areas, trying some AR plate welded under deck..the blade shrouds/baffles will get 1/8" AR plate, the flat deck is getting 3/16 What y'all think?

The 3 water lines come in at 3 different angles not even close to 90° and heights, I didn't install the pipe or plant the shrubs around them. Original owner installed a 90 for the water supply and second owner added a T for a spigot in front yard...which is the pipe in top of pic.. And planted...

Picked up a vertical band saw off FB marketplace dirt cheap... It was listed as a meat saw. I've spent most of my adult life in the processing of meat. Used larger commercial hobart saws, this is nothing like that. The wheels are 20" in diameter flat on top. Look to be about an inch wide or...

During hurricane Matthew we got this gen directly from Briggs.. no wheel kit.. but since the wifey worked there only $500 ... Looked into a wheel kit.. they wanted over a $100 bucks... Not happening for a couple of tires, rod and hardware. Came up with this caster setup instead.. already had...

Acquired these a good many years ago. Obviously by the pics the 3ph isn't original, it was toast. Fabbed up a new one out of heavy i-beam, they work great. The bearing in one of the disc is getting loose, I've been thinking about trying to remove the cap on it and see if can be tightened any...

Show Your Version of Hatchet/Axe I needed a new hatchet for splitting fat lighter... Didn't want to buy new, so I went to work restoring a small axe into my version of a hatchet.. I chose a piece of dried white/water oak from wood stack. Used a sanding disc to form. Derusted and painted...

Decided to throw a new set of blades on the mower and thought about how it's been sitting now for at least 10 years with nothing but rust colored primer. After numerous man-hours of cutting, welding and some fab work, (paid $150 no tail wheel, front looked like a mushroom) I only got around to...

Broke out the bottom plows, hadn't been turned under in years... Hopefully no substantial amount of rain anytime soon. I'll harrow it lightly tomorrow and smooth.

Thinking about adding remotes to the 243.. I've done some searching, it seems fairly straight forward. So what's available for my model and year? Is there anything I'm missing as far as installation? Doesn't seem to be that difficult...

Pics speak for themselves....

I recently acquired a set of Long 960 harrows ($650) I've been working through them the frame (4x4) tubing Hangers, 3pt hitch, some bearings and axles were all in good shape but my issue is the axles seem to be 41" front and back. The fronts are 5 disc on about 9" spacing and the rears are 6...
