Hello all- I have 1000 gallon septic tank but my problem is that we have a fairly small bridge on our property that no septic truck companies are willing to cross. They used to years ago, but as time goes by most of the companies have gotten rid of their smaller trucks. Additionally as time goes...

Hello all- just looking to call upon the collective knowledge of the group for any pointers, tips, or tricks on repairing my leaky well. This spring, I noticed that the ground around my well casing was particularly soggy. It was not until the rest of the yard started to dry out and that area...

Hello all- I am in the early stages of planning on building a pole barn, and just getting some of the logistics sorted out. It will have to have a concrete floor. Barn size will be about 30 x 80, with a 10 foot wide porch down the long axis of the building. Probably looking on the order of 40...

So, are kids raised in a rural home at a disadvantage? Will they grow up to be socially awkward as a result of the more sparse population? Are they at a handicap from an education standpoint, given the generally smaller schools they will need to attend? In my own inexperienced view, I don't...

I have a 2004 John Deere 4120 with a 4 cylinder turbo diesel. The problem is that when I start it after it has been sitting for a few days, it runs very rough for about 5 seconds, and then clears up and runs good. In that first 5 seconds or so, it sounds like it is starving for fuel, and...

Hi fellas- Looking for some help with a kerosene torpedo heater I picked up for free. It is very old, I'd guess from the 70's. It is a Master Heater, model B-99. 75,000 btu. It works, but it blows smoke like crazy. Seems to run dirty. It makes a 3-car garage uninhabitable within 30...

Hi fellas- I want to try to do this right the first time around. Looking to buy a bigger tractor. Currently, I have an 855 with turf tires, loader, 60 inch mower. I love it and use it all the time to keep up with the extensive landscaping around our house. Would definitely not give it up...

Just looking for your input on running a tractor in water. I have a creek on my property that I need to cross often. Sometimes I need to drive a little ways down the creek to get to a different path. Sometimes I actually am working in the creek for a while, moving boulders around to build...

I have a Crane-Deming 4011 pump that pumps water from a nearby creek into a pond I have. We use it to help keep the ponds from becoming stagnant and to get some flow over a waterfall going from one pond to a lower pond. I am pretty sure the pump needs a little servicing and adjustment, but I...

Hi fellas- I'm planning on building a small (12 x 22) shed to house some snowmobiles for a few years until I get enough time and money to guild a bigger garage. I would like to use metal roof panels for the roof. I am curious if they can be fastened directly to roof rafters which will be...

I picked up our new Wallenstein bx 42 chipper today. This thing works excellent! I was a touch nervous about getting the mid sized model, as my tractor (JD 855) only has 19 pto hp. But I made the decision based on info I found on this board and I'm happy to say I now know I made the right...
