In southeast WA Coleman oil locations and Maverick stations have non ethanol pumps. There are others but I know for sure of those two.

LOL no sister. However, she was raised by good parents.

I’m sitting in a parking lot staring at the RDO lot full of John Deere’s. If we would have bought the tractor when we first looked at them, it would have been paid off and we would be light years further ahead with our property plans. So yeah, buy the damn tractor.

I’m not opposed to being an early adopter. As long as my life doesn’t depend on the technology. An electric anything, is a toy until it can last as long or longer as an ICE based piece of equipment.

My wife once said “a tractor is an investment in time. The less time you spend on projects the more projects you can complete or you can give yourself time to rest.” Equipment (shop or tractor or tool or gizmo) can almost always make the job go smoother and quicker with less chance of injury or...

Do you “need” a tractor? No! What is your time worth? You can move material with a shovel and a wheel barrow. Or a front end loader. You can rent or buy a wood chipper and still have to move the chips to storage or sales or the chipper to the wood source, or the wood to the chipper. Can do it...

Tractorco.com is a few hours away from us. They used to have some smaller used/refurb import tractors for about $7-$8k. During covid they appeared to raise their prices about $2,000 per unit. Now one can’t get anything from them under $10,000. Full disclosure, I don’t know if they have the same...

For 2032R ($28,300) & 2038R ($30,640) tractors, Deere is offering 3.9% for 84 months. Insane (to me) pricing.

While not a popular opinion, getting experts involved will result in significantly more money. But theoretically it will be done right. The first time. (wink wink) Getting the government involved, could in essence, backfire. The EPA (or one of the alphabet gangs) could get involved and life...

Don’t tease us, show us some pics!!!

The OP is who decides if it’s useful to him. Same as the rest of us. We have a need and buy or build. Budget, time, or profit/loss often decides the path we take.

I’m a fan of Frankensteining parts together. I’d hit a machinery or farm auction or two and buy some ratted out pieces of equipment with the potentially functional parts I need and mod it onto another piece of equipment. I’m envisioning a backhoe on the back of a small pickup or 4x4 vehicle. LOL

What’s the story about acquiring the 7305? We like stories (and pictures).

If you have a need now, then you should buy now. I have been contemplating for two years now and prices keep going up or stock doesn’t exist in our area. Had we bought when we first said “we might need a tractor” we would have the thing nearly paid off and have a heck of a lot more projects...

You posted Sept 27, 2022 and I assume you saw a $25 price. It is now Nov 6, 2022 price is $33. Price is inflated more than 8% we have been told.

Doesn’t look like Drewintoledo ever came back after all the suggestions. (Or I missed any replies). In honesty we need to know what Drew needs in a phone holder? Keep it completely out of the way from damage (falls, vibration, wind, rain, mud, impact?) Have it available for viewing of data...

Would a GoPro work?

As for the various comments about saving/wasting a stamp and the postmaster getting involved. Well, dropping a letter in a mailbox w/o a stamp means the govt doesn’t get its cut. That’s why putting an in stamped letter in a box is “illegal”. The act is just communication, using YOUR mailbox...

1 acre in or near town is going for $150,000 around here. Out of town you can’t buy an acre.

We don’t want them procreating. Trust me.

In our town almost no one is building fences with wood. A guy down the street just build a 6ft high block walk around his 1 acre yard. Was cheaper than wood. Done in 2 days. All new fencing leans towards block.

Had a dog as a kid and when he died my child heart was crushed and I vowed to never have another. My wife has had dogs and when hers passed shortly after we got married, we decided to get another. She got a red lab/German shorthair pointer mix. He decided I was his hooman. (My wife is still...

A year ago (Labor Day weekend 2020) we started our 1.6 acre yard renovation journey with dirt and weed. Literally zero grass. We used a Rotadairon to tear up our ground. Then ran over it with a chain link gate several times. Our house yard took a few hours of passes with the gate and some manual...

The only failure here is so many reaching their conclusions without knowing anything about the need.

Networking 101 (going off fuzzy memory) To preface, WiFi is NOT “the internet”. Let’s simplify: One device is a “node” A node can connect to other nodes (computer to printer, or computer to computer). When multiple computers connect to each other, that is a “network”. A network (multiple...

Ummm... what? “When my internet goes out” cannot happen if also “my home network has internet access”

You don’t need Internet to use wifi. A router in her home can connect to the controller. An outsider can’t connect to the controller from the internet, because it won’t be connected TO the Internet. Think of it as an intranet. A 2.4 gHz wifi signal can go miles with the right transmit and...

Maybe both. Most know that ethanol gas is basically cancer for engines. So, both ethanol and sea foam to clear the arteries, keeps the ticker clickin’z.

If your want to kill everything growing between pavers, look up a DIY salt solution and pour it on the weeds/paver section.

Hit the YouTube and find a few videos about ‘riding mower not charging’ or similar searches.

What about using an automatic paint roller or w/ an auto-brush attachment?

So if Husqvarna owns AYP (who makes most consumer riding mowers), does that mean all consumer products for US markets will stop?

It appears to be a builders market. Even with raw materials at all time highs & mass exodus of people moving from state to state, I will take a few Sales 101 tips from another industry: 1) Everyone can be your client, not everyone has to be your client. 2) When you get too busy, raise your...

If we’re all lucky here, a future overage will trigger a sell off and all those who hoarded will have to dump because of retail price slashing. Prayers that we can get materials at less than last years low season prices.

Month? I haven’t purchased from homedepot in about three months and haven’t been to a Costco for almost 9. We shop at our local grocery store now and I have paused all optional home projects until prices calm down. If it’s a necessity, I’ll shop/buy, but so far nothing has hit that level.

On our local Craigslist, there are people selling literal scrap wood for almost big box store prices. Then there are the guys who either saw this coming or are a part of the problem. They are listing wood material for higher than 6 months ago but barely less than retail now (June 14, 2021). Not...

I would actually assume cows don’t smell the hot wire but feel it. Now I gotta go research...

Supply and demand. People are stupid to pay these prices and the suppliers/sellers will gladly take your money. That’s sets a precedent and there is absolutely no reason for anyone to lower prices when people buy into the inflation. We’re doing it to ourselves.

Our area is relatively modern and most of our towns (and small cities) were founded in early 1900’s. Our house was built in the early 1960’s. The prior owners just were not interested in good land management.

I’ve always wanted to put a hinged plate on a box so when it gets hit by a bat, it squirts paint, or UV powder or ketchup/mustard on the offending car.

The former owners of our property also bulldozed the land. Then they pushed everything into a pile and tried to burn it: Steel. Lead. Aluminum. Wood (all sorts), Glass... I find several pieces every time I walk around.

My philosophy: Taxes aren’t bad, it’s how they are used. Taxes to support schools is a fun one. Remember, those kids will be the next tax payers. We want them well educated and work for good wages to support a local economy.

What about an outdoor natural swimming pool? It’s an obvious above ground pond but it might be a way to bypass the insanely restrictive Cali regulations.

Everyone else’s covid shots make me cranky. How do you know if someone got the shot, just wait. They’ll tell you.

The OP rant still applies today. We bought a small property last year and have wanted a small tractor. Stopped in our local green dealer and talked to two people. Neither were excited about their models. They both tried to upsell the next size. But that was it. A year later, don’t have a...

Prepping for reseeding of pasture grass. I applied a 3% mix of Gordons Big-n-Tuf 41% glyphosate to my 1 acre pasture. Appx 15gal of water/gly mix to the acre. It has been just over 48 hours and it looks like I have a 95% success rate. There are a few weeds that seem to be alive, so I might spot...

I have seen several mention the importance of a good dealer when buying a tractor. How many of you used the dealer frequently (or how frequently did you use them) after your purchase? In our area, we have several dealers with several different brand options. But there are some brands where the...

Well... I made it. Haven稚 been on a forum, facebook or much of anything in a few years. No tractor, but looking. Cheers! ~Brent
