Got a lot done this weekend. Went to flea market and got flower/plants early saturday. Pulled the 4-wheelers out. Yamaha would not start. Honda would, but poured gas out of the overflow when you stopped. Used it to pull the Yamaha on the trailer. I know what everyone is going to say....add...

Friday I dropped off 3 hydraulic cylinders to be rebuilt, replaced a line that had stared to leak and pickup up some oil, grease, etc. Today I pulled up some roots from bushes we had cut down with my box blade until lunch. Cut grass with bush hog for about 2 hours after lunch. Then got my...

As posted before, I have been cleaning up a farm I bought. All the fences looked like the first pic. In most places you could not even see the fence. We have them all cleaned up but 3 runs. Second pic shows how they look after cutting out all the brush. I still need to straighten in some...

Went to check a house I'm remodeling first thing this morning. Took the 3 hydraulic cylinders off my finish mower to have rebuilt. Took a leaking line off my batwing bushhog to have another one made. Changed the oil in my 3320. Pulled up some stumps in my mom's yard while the ground is wet...

Trying to get the grass around the fence at my house mowed today before it rains again. The grass in the pasture sure is growing fast. Hope to get 2 dry days next week so I can spray.

I finally had time to get back to this project. When you walk up to my work bench, you know what is hanging on the wall straight in front a me? A pipe wrench. I was caught up trying to find something to go in pin hole that would hold it. I hit it with PB blaster a couple times over the last...

I bought a farm that had been let go for several years. I have been cleaning it up when I have free time. We have been cutting brush out of the fences. In some places you couldn't even see the fence for the growth. Fence is in good shape so I hate to dozer it down with the brush. It is...

Taking a break from mowing at the pond yesterday.

I have a John Deere 4520 with a standard bucket. I want to beef it up, add a teeth bar, add pull hooks, etc. I plan to use it clearing some medium size undergrowth on my property. I would appreciate sharing pics of your custom bucket for ideas. Many Thanks!

Mowing around the pond today.

I have an old box blade. The lock washer on one of the lower lift pins broke last time I used it. I now have gap between the nut and the box blade that allows the pin to wobble. The bolt and pin are very rusty. I can't seem to find anything to hold the outer side of the pin while I twist the...

I have a pole barn. The birds are getting under it and pooping all over my equipment. I have read articles that say to used rubber snakes, owls and CD's on fishing line to keep them out. It is high and I would like to do it once and not be trying new things each week. Wanted input from...

I have used a rake, broom and backpack blower to clean the grass clippings off my 15' batwing cutter after I mow with it. Each method has drawbacks. I do not have water at my barn to use a pressure washer. Anybody have a better method they use on cleaning their deck after mowing?
