    Stuck B&W gooseneck ball

    Been hitting this thing for hours with an air hammer and got it this far. Now it's stopped. Won't move anymore. I can move it up and down by hand but it stops at this point. When it stops, I can move it back and forth. Almost like it's against another stop or lock. I don't have a goose neck...

    Bobcat 324 bucket.

    Currently we have a 9" bucket. Considering going to a 12". Any thoughts? I know it's a small mini but can a 12" be beneficial?

    Trailer mounted winch question

    How do you power it? Obviously the easiest solution is a battery in the box but how do you keep it charged? Can you wire it into the trailer lights with a trickle charger? What's the best way?

    Frustrated. Trying to find a rear axle for Chinese hisun 400 utv

    My dad uses it at his house. 80yo and he has a hard time walking. Totally locked up. Had problems in the past with it. Started out when I first took the rear axle out, I found the pinion nut was totally backed off. I'm sure that didn't help. I found 1 on ebay but either the guy wants to make...

    Wife came home with a new toy

    Been looking for a bigger truck for pulling things. Our current f150 has over 320k on the odometer and times running low on that truck. We've been looking but hoping prices will come down. Test drove a 2008 f350 yesterday. Thing was clean and nice. It was an actual work truck. Manual windows...

    Buried the mule...

    Actually high centered on a log and from there it went down hill...lol We have a swamp that separates 2 40 acres partials. It's been so dry so no standing water. It usually varies from a foot to 6 feet of water. Father's day so we went out to have fun and my dad suggested we see if we can...

    New tractor.

    We got a MF 1705 over glorified lawn mower we have been using. Worked great but looking at something bigger. My question is for the class1 3 point. Are the splines universal between all makes and models? I got all the implements I need. Just a little bit bigger tractor. Curious of the output...

    Good source for tracks for a mini.

    Our 2014 bobcat 324 is about due some new shoes. Did the Google thing and found prices between 500-700 a piece. OK, equipment is expensive but I never used these companies so I don't know them. Any good sources with good customer service, decent shipping prices, etc?

    Modified dump truck.

    It's a 92 superduty that has served us well but now rust has taken over. Between the frame and brakelines, etc, I made the call that it's not road worthy. 5 tons in the back with a sketchy truck isn't worth it. I'll have a company drop gravel, etc and I'll move it around the 100acres as...

    A little bit of the past....

    My wife's grandapa was a quiet guy. We knew he had history and he'd talk some of it but he just loved his farm he had and that was his life. He was big into racing. He's got a couple motorcycles in his basement, atleast they were before his death. Wife's cousin spent a couple weeks in Daytona...

    Kinda funny.

    Power company is expanding the lines. Whatever, times change. They do have to cut back the trees for taller poles. I understand that and they paid us well. Maybe they should of asked the landowners on conditions before cutting....lol

    Losing weight.

    I never had this problem since I've been 170 for over 30 years but I have watched my wife struggle with it. It sucks and if your doing good on weight loss, my hats off. She lost over 80lbs and keeping it off. She's disabled but still forces herself to walk 4-6 miles a day, firewood and other...

    Small towable graders?

    https://www.drpower.com/Power-Equipment/Power-Graders/DR-Power-Grader/p/PG25148XEN Anybody have luck with this kind of set up?. Our road is about a mile long and getting rough. I've done the back dragging with the fel and used our back blade. It works to certain degree. A few spots I gotta...

    Wife's truck making noise.

    I don't drive my wife's truck much but used it yesterday to go to my dad's to cut up an oak tree that was down. Drove good but dang, something was wrong coming from the bed area. Got home and found a broken leaf spring. Asked her about the noise and she said she just got used to it and I'm...

    Boom and drive won't work at the same time

    Little 324. If I'm driving, I need to stop to lower the beam, or basically do anything with the joysticks. I can rotate but nothing else. Was stuck once and really sucked trying to crawl out while trying to pull myself out. Is this normal on these little machines? It's always been this way...
