One thing I have done is bottom plow the road, tilled it, crown and level the road… I’ve never put gravel on it myself I seeded it but I could put gravel if would’ve done a good jobs once compacted

It was common in one point in time, everyone was doing it... I have old cars and dumping spots at a few places a few building that burn in place and never cleaned up, there's nails, horse shoes, broken glass and what ever else you can think.... if only it was buried it would be out of mind... I...

I would go through with the box blade to smooth out everything as best as you can I would like to shape the crown as well but that might not be possible in your situation and remove organic material but it doesn't look like there's much of that ether then lay gravel on it. I wouldn't bother do...

Honestly that's a good idea ... break this rock with a rock splitter or expanding grout if there is houses around (safe and inexpensive) or explosive if its safe to do so and get yourself a smaller rock delivered as your focal piece, you will save yourself a hell of a headache.

yeah I initially suggested a rock splitter or expanding grout that break rocks (way less dangerous then blasting especially for a urban area) but Ops want to keep the rock intact for a focal piece in landscaping.

At these temperature you don't have do do anything... for my tractor cold start at -4 F without taking the wind factor into account. For myself cold start at -13 to -22 depending on the humidity and wind.

its a black tar that can become liquid when hot

Rhetorical question ?? Its the same for my house almost no need to clean the chimney but I have a hunting camp that produce a ton of creosote, also my garage create some... It is a lot worse for stove that don't runs constantly or runs constantly chocked ... before someone ask the hunting camp...

lol yeah thats a good question ... if it was me I would go get two Tamarack trees or electrical pole at 10'' to 12'' in diameter and I would simply give it a try the weight will be in compression and wood it pretty tough in that regards.

I have never seen these choices on a pump ether.... I know for myself I have asked a gas station owner he his my cousin uncle and also had a forestry business and he said the bled change on its own from the summer to the winter as the fall approached so it doesn't freeze. He told me to stay away...

it can happen very much with a stove that is over size for the area or when it is not very cold out and it runs choke even with dry wood and high ambient humidity and low atmospheric pressure it will generate creosote it might just be once or twice a year but every once in a while the stars...

yeah its all about keeping the creosote inside the pipe if not it leaks outside, drips on the pipe, on the floor and it is stinky/messy.

I would do as much as I can myself, it will be cheaper and if it give them issues and slow down the project and you will pay just give them a heads up about the roots. I have removed lots of stumps by hand its not rocket science. Don't give me wrong these stumps are huge but with a sledge...

Holy these are big stumps... any excavator would work the only difference is going to be time and the level of difficulty and the amount of swears words, so bigger the excavator easier it will be.

wow 15.5 years old, that was a good life, truly sorry to hear it's never easy for sure.

Well for me winter is here full force... I don't do much at all, have a block heater and a antifreeze heater and 0w-40 oil, the battery used to give me issues as it was getting very old but I just replaced it, with 4X4 I don't have the need for chains, I have some but I don't put them on, it...

my worst is the sickle mower, one pin is on the outside and one is on the inside and it need to be tilted up for it to clear the sickle ski ... its just a b!%^& to hook up but with 2 guys and a pry bare it goes pretty well...

what if you hook up the PTO shaft first ?? that's what I have to do with my baler, I give myself some room, extend the PTO shaft, connect it then I back up some more and connect it to the draw bar.

I would lower the new 6'' pipe inside the 8'' put a finishing plate to seal it all... this plate goes in the 8'' and the 6'' goes through no changes needed on the roof... or this

code and manufacture will say to run a 6'' pipe all the way through... I would run the 6'' pipe inside the 8'' double wall insulated.

My 3 dogs, now vs puppies

yeah its crazy the price of these nowadays, my cousin uncle got a 6x6 defender with portal axle so he can fit the 30'' and it came up to 60k

my thoughts exactly... My can-am will burn the belt on high gear in bush trails or if I am pulling something my guess is the same is happening with their Polaris.

bigger machine and utilize a A frame above it check how he utilize it in the first second of this video.

the city doesn't remove the snow bank there ? where I live they remove the snow banks every month.

snow machine ?? like snow mobile ?? why the township would start putting them on your road ? what are you saying ?

This big white spruce was too nice to simply do fire wood with it so I will mill a section

I have never see horses having problem with 90 degree corner they will make their own trail and radius along the fence line corners just put your next post closer and cross brace it like the picture below, I would also suggest electric wire that way they really respect the fence and there will...

For the shock collar on off thing focus on the reward, keep it on until she is consistent only then take it off and again focus on the reward… I didn’t have this problem I believe for this reason…

At my in town property (3 cars driveway) its a quad with a plow and a small snow blower, I use both and works well... plow to the road and blow to the side... At the property I have a older canyon truck with a plow and a quick attach articulated snow blade... mostly use the truck but will use...

When a command is given it need to be absolute, you need to have the ability to make it absolute via leash or shot collar, it is not a proposition if you let them break the command you open the door for it. So that's one, have the basic nail down. When giving a command like sit you should be...

I had a Lab that was terrified of thunder storms she would shake and whine hours before it show up... she died at 13 years old and it was still the case... all I can think of is baby steps and exposure ....

For what it is worth I’ve shown a picture of My Gsd as well has her parents to AI and she is mostly west German working line with a influence (from her mother) of west German show Line and her dad has a little bit of czech working line so thats explains what I am working with plus a female but...

Male or female ??? Pros and cons of each and which you like better?

blazing some trails with the 300

you certainly have to justify it somehow or you are simply rich … but in my case i guess somewhat yes but nothing is not officially commercial just on the side but still some individuals manage to justify it when they have a road to built a road to they camp for example… in my case it will be a...

no dumpster rental where I am from... trailer rental is $150 per day and the land filled is not open every day it can add quick when I am renting one, flat bed trailer still cost money and there is no return on that other then when you sell it... I can make money with a dump trailer just by...

ROI = return on investment ... well the case of my statement was said in regard of hay dud situation which he is commercial... for residential you justify it by multi used (single trailer for multiple utilization) so instead of buy a utility trailer and a flat deck you only buy a dump trailer as...

I still don't think the benefit is there, I would think most people who do hay are not set up with 10ft + wide mower, at leas I am not, I have a brush hog but its only 4 ish foot wide, I don't want to spend 3 to 5 days cutting and burning time and diesel just to make my hay looking better the...

It is alwayse case by case,... Time is money and that’s true, but only if your time creates or saves money. Doing something yourself displace expenses. While your waiting you’re just spending time AKA wasting money.

What to do with the stumps all depends on Ops plans, I would assume he has a reason for wanting them out.

Shooting sound a lot more fun for sure but trapping seem a lot more effective perhaps doing both would be the best of both world... these are surly big specimen and hell of a abomination these are.

I do not suggest to leave it there, I only said how I would snap them free if they are stubborn by the method I describe once its free it's up to ops to do what he must with it I did not suggest ether or.

Great white north ehn, it must of been a process to bring your tractor to Churchill... Welcome to the forum.

Depending on the material and if front loaded heavy it is a common problem... Heavy material like 2'' minus you really have to watch to not put too much and well distribute the load... Sand is pretty much never a problem but it can be if you overload the front.

that's how I would do it if one wouldn't budge, I would dig a big hole behind it, snap the roots around it then push it in the hole.

My first truck felt like luxury, my first big chainsaw, my first flat screen TV and the first time I own a dishwasher ho boy when I got these I knew I made it in life.

pehaps a electrical wire ?? high enough for the hogs to go under but not the deer.

When I do lots of short trip I strap a other battery in series on it, I have a haul truck battery set up with booster cables it works perfectly for that... if not I carry these little booster pack just in case.

yeah a 2500 is plenty of truck to pull a dump trailer once in a while... I have a 1500 and often haul a dump trailer its not the biggest one but you get the trailer or the load your truck can pull. All I am saying is Ops is not commercial (as far as I know) we are recreational user.

I agree with all of what you are saying for the benefit of goose neck, yourself being a commercial contractor it make perfect sense but I also would stick with bumper pull, ops has plenty of trucks, depending on the amount of use and length of pull I would argue a bumper is a lot cheaper set up...

yes some application it doesn't make sense but for low quantity it can, you have to take account the delivery price which vastly varies depending on your location and sometime you need to rehandle the material since a dump truck can't go where you want it to go... it was my case when I did my...

spend the extra $ and get it galvanized, way better resell value and it wont get rusted out or paint flaking on you.

lol..oups wrong thread

Diamond harrow works pretty good to remove clumps... do you disk when it was very dry ? its is normal that wet/damp ground create clumps. but I have used diamond harrow and it work very well after disking.

I've never been much interested in traveling, but that's me...Things can be different for person to person but there is something to be said about having the opportunity to look back and visually see what you have accomplish and spend your money on, that is super rewarding and addicting... For...

can you imagine what the impact must of been inside the cab I am sure it wake the guy up...

Is that Galvanized ? if you are planning to keep it a while you might want to consider Galvanized if its not already in your plans...

if I would buy Kioti which I don't know how interested I would be, it's a 20 minute haul but any other brand its a 4h haul so it's not much of a option to simply ''take it to the dealer''...

My round baler 4 x 5 is actually require less PTO hp then a square baler, yeah ok it heavier to pull up hill with a full bale in it but still 60hp is plenty for both its just odd when you see the hp requirement for a round baler its way over estimated...

Not all some yes, in my home town we have a few very competent ones...

from post #1 it wasn't obvious there where hollow, that info came later on....

To be honest go to your local home depot and ask what they have that would give the highest strength .... google say its the link below I know someone who used it for the same exact purpose but I haven't personally used it... then there's a bunch of other examples, I would diffinatly used a...

maybe she piss herself in the accident 😆

yup I could use one of these, even more then a Sherp ... I posted a video below of their newest version This is a sherp

one of these would be nice but if we are really dreaming id take one of these and while we are at it one of these and a excavator would be sweet

I would say it depends on the price... when you see a 3 years old vehicle they often still ask top dollar for it like $20,000 but it has 100k on it when you can add $10,000 and have one new its a no brainer to go new... The price of used vehicle is very good lately, considering the maintained...

No they won't... its one or the other... I am guessing there is wood behind the bricks and he drilled holes through the bricks to anchor it. I don't know if there's a way to know how solid that wood his or to detect studs behind the bricks... but you are right sometime these bricks are simply...

I think everyone would agree that you’re doing a great job, at least from what I can tell. It’s obvious that you care and that you provide guidance without pushing too hard. I lift my hat to you, keep it up.

Anchor bolts like these should do the trick.

how dose he feel about these two choice ? (civic or mazda) what dose he want to get ?

ho I see sorry for my misunderstanding, your right it is written clearly in post #1.... my brain simply went to co-financed .... In this case I would assume you will have to co-signed although he has a secure full time job plus a credit card history so might not hard to say... easy to say now i...

I would expect he won't need a co-signature having a full time jobs and a few loans under his belt.

"the most useful implements" ?? hard not to find that funny as a statement. your #5 is a good idea, I would think it would work great for that ''5)We have a horse paddock that's compacted with sand on it. It's about 50x60, level & hard as concrete. Horse piles I clean area every 2 weeks or...

I am happy for you Jstpssng, you simply can’t go wrong with a lab

no more mud hole on the property

Your perhaps right but batteries are not cheep by any means... I still love the concept of individual options something compagnies have steered off within the last decade or so. Its fine to have them as bundles (even that is not so much of a thing anymore) as a discount but give the individual...

If I would live in the city I would get one for sure but where I live I can easily get by without one.

I wish they would do a gas version of Jeff Bezos truck. By that I mean you can choose every single option one by one and make it as basic as you want... mine would be heater, 4x4 and a stereo.

Cowboy coffee ehn ... We simply call that coffee at camp...

yes they all do but its more of a test run then a break in, they check for leaks, temp, oil pressure, sound and vibration more then a break in.

You mean run in as test run which is not a full break in, but some people (sound like you also) say this is all its required for break in. is that your position ?

If true you won't notice 10% until you try or race the exact same bike that was broke in differently. This is a life long debate, I tend to be like you on the conservative camp but I also like giving her, drive fast and be first so I do a hybrid as I described above, I think its the best of...

Lots of people say the only break in is when it get started off the assembly line and the methodology for 4 stroke (its different for 2 stoke) is run idle for a little while then slowly and steadily increase the throttle output, you repeat that 3 times and each time go higher in RPM until you...

I would lay these first that's what they are for, they are no cheep but they cut humidity right out plus if there's minor leak water doesn't touch any wood surface.

she is beautiful!!! what kind of shepherd is that ?

For myself too its crazy the amount of shrooms there is this year.

mine would be too big for your tractor but it’s made by TMG industrial for 50hp to 100hp … it works really well to pick up logs but mine is a root grappler their’s all kind of different profile and configuration

dominoes for grown ups 🤷‍♂️

very nice color on this cedar

In order to call something or someone my friend I need to trust it, when a product show ingredient that are deem ''safe in small quantity'' such as fragrance and Oxybenzone / Benzophenone -3 you won't convince me that is safe and if you add a lack of quality control and loose regulation on top...

I ''brush cut'' 11 acres of field and all my trail network, it took me 2/3 days, I was so sore by the time I was done plus I had a huge pain in the neck I definitely got my quota for a while.

ho if I add the winter tires to the list I have 4 vehicles to do...

yup... as MtnViewRanch said... it depends on the implement, I mostly use the center holes but some need to be on the lower hole to lift high enough.

Ah, that wasn’t my intent at all, sorry to darken your coffee. That’s why I keep three of them around… so there's always a backup when one goes into retirement mode.

ho I also need to empty my summer windshield washer fluid in my vehicles and change it with winter one... you don't want to forget about this one!!

A oil change on the tractor and everything else that will be store for the winter, along with fuel stabilizer in all gas tank, piking up everything that is laying around, at one point Ill hock up the snow blower and the snow blade, I have to winterize the camper as well... from the bears...

ouch... yeah that not good

New things that is happening with my trio, I get Laika (my Lab) to go fetch her bole for feeding time and once she dose I get her to go get Oakley (my golden, collie mix) food bole as well, its supper funny she dose it with such of excitement... Oakley is loosing a lot of pep this year, his...

the new one almost need to go through the wall...

Mine used to be that cheep but it skyrocket in the last 10 years with their carbon tax but still way cheaper then electricity

I would pay to get natural gas at my property... even a gas hot water tank is a lot better then a electric one.

it should lift higher if you go the the lower hole... you also could tighter the high link.

I don't know how expensive Natural gas is or electricity for you but for us the cheapest you can have is natural gas and its such of a peace of mind, I don't think there's any downside. I would run everything you can on natural gas, furnace, hot water, BBQ grill, stove you name it I would run...

As I wrote, if they would've I would only have myself to blame... in life you need accountability for your action.

lol... I was loaded with firewood and yes I drove very smoothly that time... but don't be fool its not always the case but when I am overloaded I tend to be careful.

I forgot a axe on a trailer fender once as well but it stayed there the whole way lol (lucky me)

most likely a glitch since you where able to post this...

I always put a peace of belt or mud flap (rubber) behind all my trailer plates it prevent them to get beat up by flying rocks... but this magnet plate holder is pretty cool.

I went back and made sure I was on Amazon Canada and found it and it's $100 CA, and this one I can add to cart

mine show its $42 but like you I can't add it to cart for some reason.

These won't be a problem at all even if they are big, they have shallow roots... the big one you go fairly high and push them over, back up and pop the roots up and your done.

I have done quite of bit of clearing and a lot of it depends on the tree species, soil type, water saturation level and how open it is, in a dense forest everything is easier, but in a overgrown field the roots are really anchored down, conifers yes for about just any situation they are easy to...

you might just need...

yes it's the gate to bring the tractor in for grading or if I bring more material.

that's so cheep, yeah I also have a 700cc and I pay $1500 or something like that, I haven't got insurance for that long... I tried to get some insurance from a well known cheep company but they wouldn't insure my XT 250... its too small I presume, it was on the black list.

lots of factor at play, age, CC's and experience (amount of time insured).... Motorcycle insurance where higher for me but its going down.

I could be interesting to see a detail cost analysis, lots of folks spend lots of money in accessories but that's a choice, then there is the initial cost for the gear (which is not there for a vehicle) and the high insurance cost but these two decrease over the years, but it also has a low...

ouch

carry on

I was talking about quads, 2 strokes are significantly easier to pull start. You won't see a high displacement 4 stroke sled with a pull start.

I have seen it on a quad a few times as well, a ground issue and the fan kills the battery... and yes these pull start are very hard to pull, one would think the cord wouldn't hold, I think 450cc is pretty much the most CC's they make with a pull start.

I wonder what would be the odds of a battery to die as such without warning but lets say that's the case.... I would be wondering how you would keep the jump pack connected without it falling but if you find a way my guess would be it would last for a while. Even if its not made for that as you...

I was talking about the future, it will come, that's what they are doing in Canada and other part of the world.

redneck santa 😆 lmao

honestly as long as you take care of it, it will/can last a while, if it goes dead charge it right away and take it out during the winter. Mine lasted 4 years but then I kept it there last winter (only unplugged it) and it died.. there's a range of battery for this bike from $50 to $300 I...

You can certainly push start it, and it will start with a dead battery its somewhat challenging to do by yourself without a hill to go down with, but I did it multiple times with mine (down a hill). I ran into problem when the battery was completely dead a wouldn't hold any charge anymore, I...

I have seen people talking about it but not policy making people, simply critical thinkers and they all say it's impossible unless there's a massive overhaul in electricity infrastructure both in delivery capacity and production which sound like a colosale task.

I believe the only time I lost something was with my tailgate down... that was my hockey bag and a small jerry can...ho I forgot my wallet on the roof of my car once :rolleyes:... I also will stop and check after a few miles making sure my straps are still tight.

I bought a new to me bailer a little 4x4 soft core and a few culvert, now I have enough culvert to put in all my gullies.

That be nice... I wrote that because of the EV argument treads over the years and apparently according to the research of some individual the electricity is supposed to get cheaper (I don't doubt they actually found that information) as the years comes despite a aging infrastructure, growth in...

yes you are right, mine is a 2016 and I had that happen to me and even if you jump start it, it wont run for long if the battery can't hold a charge. It will stall at some point when you shift regardless of how much throttle you gave it before hand. Or simply put it will run until you let go of...

One of my friend told me a story, he was working in a addict for his buddy (a general contractor) and he found a substantial amount of cash stashed, something like 200k so he gave it to the owner and said ho you forgot to take this out of there... the owner reply that he just moved in and it...

As far are op question if I had to change the bit I would do it as it lay on the ground or hook it up to the 3 point and change it there on the vertical position.

when I said the ''stand fuss'' I mean why hang it at all I lay mine on the ground or on a skid and it is one of the lightest and easiest attachment to hook up for me so I don't understand the need for a stand.

yeah a foot wider would be a problem as well as if it’s longer but i could always make my trails wider and straighter … but my main concern would be weight i have a few soft spots and i hate ruts.

I don't get the stand fuss... its one of the easiest thing to hook on and unhook for me.

I lost a full bag of hockey equipment once, it slid off the truck bed ( I had no tailgate)... I got home (1.8 miles away) raced back and nothing... ho man I was devastated, I thought my season was over and I only had myself to blame. I was playing competitive hockey back then, it was all brand...

I would agree with that, my 60hp is ''too small'' for some of my application but perfect for my trails maintenance and bush work so if I would get a 80 to 100hp tractor I would have to keep my 60hp tractor or get a smaller one since it would be too big and heavy for my bush work.

I don't know if you ever tried to plow dry clay but I can't do it, it won't go in, it will simply drag and scratch the soil. I have to do it in the spring or fall where the soil is wet (moist), fall is better its easier to broke down the following year, spring yes it clods up and hard to break...

special kind of stupid alright

for me the biggest question is soil type... the best time to plow is when the soil is wet, not as much of a constraint in sandy soil but in clay it is... If its clay and you have snow tires they will become slick very quickly (fill up with mud) and it wont matter how much weight you have... you...

injury cause by moose are actually more common then by bears it's just the injury from a bear attack are more serious... 10 to 20 people get attack each year by moose in North America... the rut season and bow hunting as well as cows defending their calf from dogs or hikers are mostly the reason.

Mine is a snow blade, its a 8', I am in Northern Ontario Canada it is quick connect and has hydraulic angles (tilt)... I have a 60hp tractor @ 3 to 4000 lbs with loaded rear tires and snow blower in the back and to effectively use the tilt in heavy snow I would need snow chains on all 4 but...

not only that the dud doesn't even seem to understand the concept of breaking never mind a clutch

Kanasta has one of the biggest NG reserve in the world but they want too keep it untap to ''save the world from CO2''

But but the government said electricity will become cheaper....

lol ...speaking of not made for it... so one of my friend who is not much of a skills rider has a little Honda monkey 150cc and he went to pass his final license (we have 3 stages or test, written, the cones test then a road test) I told him what to do and what not to do and yet he failed... I...

it is as far as risk of accident not death your right unless you go by death per miles or per used then the ladder are still more dangerous... you have to compare apple to apple...

you think you do, I also hop you also never goes up a ladder that has a higher ''suicide'' rate then riding a motorcycle.

I love the XT250 for the property and quad trails but not for much more, maybe a Sunday drive if its less then a few miles but still just for this I don't want to sell it and I will keep it for ever as it will last for ever.

I believe every rider knows how dangerous it is. But we get comfortable, or unlucky, and sometimes things go wrong. Still, many of us choose to keep riding not out of denial, but because it's one of the few times we feel truly alive. And if you’re not feeling alive, are you really living?

The horse practice pen or outdoor arena is finally almost completed I got all the post in, both gates, only one side of the fencing to built and more rocks to pick up but its coming along. Yes Vegas is always around and most of the times in the way but that's ok I rather that then not knowing...

I saw something you don't see everyday last week ... too bad I was in a rush I would've turn around to take a picture, it would've been worth it. It was a older car from the 90's pulling a 25 to 30ft newer camper, it had a plywood wind deflector on the roof... from distance you could only see...

like the saying ''If you don't know who the annoying neighbor is... it's probably you''

yeah I had a hard time getting my hay to dry up, I got some nice days but no sun it took for ever for it to dried up.

It comes to a point with experience you can tell what the auger is doing and what you need to do in your soil and moisture...

yes for sandy soil you have to turn it off like you did... watch to not go too deep and exceed the lifting capacity (aka lifting the front end) For clay if its wet you have to be careful if it corkscrew in you have to lift it parodically if not it can get stuck, as long as it comes out in...

I would consider a dump trailer, I know I would... you can carry a tractor, and everything you mentioned above. You can easily rent it out to make some cash plus you never have to unload it by hand and haul anything with it .... just a idea to consider ... my next trailer will be a dump trailer...

or a vehicle without a back up camera... Before I backed up my first trailer I didn't know how... Although I don't remember anyone showing me, I am pretty certain I figured it out on my own... and they are not going to learn with this technology.

I saw it operate on my brother in law truck, it works surprisingly well... Would I use it or need to? hell no but some people surely should. Seeing some folks backup their camper in a camp ground is pretty funny to see as well. The hardest thing I ever back up is my short narrow trailer that...

that's the easy part... the hard part is having all 3 looking at you and getting my Lab with her eyes open ...

here the result

we are also working on leave it and the done command.

I got all my hay done … 40 round bales and about 300 small square bales ( i didn’t count them) it was a challenge to get good weather but we got her done.

nice mine also has a favourite log but I only throws it about 10 times a day … i make her work for it … and when she get board, she goes in the creek or lake for a cool off …but ya like saw dust or hay flying in the air and she catches it in the air pretty funny

i didn’t know they where that playful … all she wants is to play!

I often get ask how she dose it … that’s how … btw the GSD got up there on her own.

I ran out of gravel so I ordered an other 3 load … it was wet so it took more then I expected but I am well underway on the rail\fence now …

and the bugs this year I tell ya … well it goes with the rain and we had it oufff ….

finally took some vacation from work!! … got the horse rink level out, the grass mowed, some pit run delivered, then spread it all … and ho some manure spread in the field ( nothing was really growing) Looked at the weather and there’s 5 days no rain coming up, nothing hot but we (my dad ans...

ho sorry, I got confuse since its the same truck in both picture.

nice trailer !! how's that truck handling this load ?

Its your thread Arly we are simply along for the ride

it sufly is cabable of dong so

To me get what ever equipment is best for your fire break and buy a pull behind road grader for your road maintenance.

Are you looking for a pulling harness or a no pull ? yeah the tactical harness looks pretty slick... I never had any problem with my harness, although I not sure what brand I have...

Looks very clean to me, the tires are in good shape and 10k is very cheep yes that's a good deal!!

A car hauler with double axel will work for width (72 inch wide tractor) with a tandem with 3500lbs axel it will be closely legal with a GVWR: ~7,000lbs.... the 4520 weigh around 3800lbs plus the FEL plus the backhoe, you are likely looking at 7000lbs if he has filled read tires... So if you...

ho man I had to restrained myself hard to not copy & paste what AI has to say about this opinions lol... You are in tittle to your opinion and I would even add it's a valid one but personally as long as its stated (copy and paste from AI) I don't see the arm in it, that way you could simply...

already quite a bit bigger

I have ''telescopic' 3point arms, it helps. More you do it quicker it becomes. I lined myself up as best as I can, then I put my bucket down so I can creep forward or backwards using the bucket without going back on the tractor. I save quite a bit of time that way. For me what take the longest...

problem meaning time consuming or giving you a hard time ...

ha k that make sense I just didn't know the context I was like is that a insult or a way to describe someone lol
