What did you buy this week?

[masseyrider]

Nothing.
I've decided to eat out of the fridge/freezer and pantry.
Other than fuel a couple coffees nothing worth mentioning.

We go through a roll over 3 or so years. It seriously cuts weeds n shoots.

Might be a bit too much for my little 25cc cutter.

I might step from the .095 to .105 though. Besides cleaning my trails, I keep the outer edges under the trees thinned out with the cutter every couple weeks. Did a ton of chainsaw thinning and missed chemically killing a few stumps so I get regrowth.

Gives a nice workout to the brush cutter. The Husky Titanium Force line is great for its size though.

Bought today in an Amish hardware store.

A gallon of Prodiamine and 2.5 gallons for Trimec 999. Time for late season weed control and pre-emergent apps.

 

[Too many Kubotas]

Bought these for my tractors.

Hose connecting clamp > Tired of fighting the SS flat faced connectors.

$5000 of seed and fertilizer and high tensile fence ... Initially the bill was $7800 when she told me I turn white and asked for a chair lol, she saw the disparity in my face and gave me bulk prices and took $1500 out then some stocks issued in the fences and I removed a few bags a fertilizer and got it down to 5k.... that should put my fields up to par.

I have had one of these for a few years. Very helpful tool!

I just picked up a brand new 6' Rotary Cutter from our local Tractor Supply Company (TSC). No tax and 10% off... got it out the door for about $1800 ish.

I know it's not a Bush Hog / Rhino / Land Pride / Frontier, but it should serve me well for my needs... until it doesn't.

For me, at this stage, saving $2000 was paramount to the decision. Should have it home this afternoon!

I looked it over, for the cash, it "seems" to be good to go. The Manager at the TSC answered my questions... I asked if they had any complaints about them. He said... "I don't have one, but I can tell you this. They FLY out of here as fast as they come in. We have never taken one back."... I noticed they had driveshafts, blades, and a few gear boxes on the shelves in stock.

So, it's a 45 hp gearbox, with shear pin... I have a 5155 Mahindra (55 hp with 47 hp PTO at 2300 rpm)... I won't spin it up to 2300 most times, so we shall see how it lasts.

I wanted the Kodiak made, Mahindra branded MD cutter, sold at my dealer... but they wanted $3700 for it. Granted, it's a MUCH better cutter but like I said... at this point, saving that $2000 was my wife's goal.

Now to see how it works out! Fingers crossed!

I rarely have trouble connecting hydraulic hoses but mine are the old fashioned style not the newer flat face style.

Tiller used twice. Sat in a dry barn for 5 years. Still had the packaging plastic wrap on the handles. One pull to start. This will get me down the sweet corn rows with ease.

I've got one of those for my skidsteer couplings and while I don't use it all the time when I need it, it is worth it's weight in gold.

 

[Too many Kubotas]

Compared to just pushing the coupler face against something...in case there's any pressure buildup.

Went from a string of 3 f 350's CC, 7.3, 4X4, 8' over 8 years to a Tacoma for the last 12 years.
Tired of the ride and the 4 cylinder motor. This actually gets a little bit better mpg with power of a vehicle healthy V8.

No complaints for the Taco and all the gadgets on the Ford are a little intimidating to say the least, and it's a fairly basic model! It's mostly foolishness but Bluetooth deal is pretty cool.
I've always admired red vehicles but never had one.
Now that's checked off the list.

I did similar with big Dodges/Cummins, bought a Taco in 08 and kept it for 13 years. Dead nuts simple vehicle that I did some basic suspension upgrades to so it would carry more than a bag of dog food.

Now I'm back in a full size 21 Ram and probably won't look back towards a small truck.

The Ram with a 5.7 gets better mileage than my Taco with a 4.0 as well.

Didn't buy something but did get my polesaw fixed. $270 Kanuckistan money.
I debated for a few minutes whether to scrap it or not.
It's never worked much. Still has the original chain but is about 25 years old.
A new one is about $950 new with tax.
If I had steady work for it I would have gone for a new one.
The guy said it was in good condition otherwise.
