The guy that brings my gravel says he brings about 18,000 lbs and it's probably 13 yards. He runs a 15 yd truck.

Once it's dry out there, if the area you need gravel is pretty close to level and the first pictures represent it well, the driver should be able to tailgate the majority. I built about a 450' driveway last year and had 4 loads of SB2 Grade 7 tailgated on it. It ended up being deeper than it...

You will be fine. Like anything else, there is a learning curve. On typical zero turns there is less lever throw in reverse so inputs get exaggerated.

Check engine light... Just picked it back up from the shop. They replaced a Particulate Matter Sensor on the exhaust. Fixed for free.

I've had loose battery cables act that way in the past. One of them was the connection at the starter. I didn't even feel the nut get tighter when I tried it but it made all the difference.

I put mine in the truck bed. They seem fine with it. Now I have a bed cover so there should be no issue at all.

So it turns out it was a dealer trade. Brought this guy back with us. 900 miles total and averaged 12mpg. I really like the truck. So much power, it was always under 2,000 rpm, even accelerating up hill on the interstate. Pulled this thing so well I forgot it was back there several times.

I am planning on renting a lift. I've just been piddling after work in the evenings. I will probably try to get the row I'm working on done and make sure i have all the parts i need first. I want to have everything i can done before i rent it so i can get it all done in a weekend.

Very custom.... I still need to go about 6' higher than that for the next 2 rows...

Been a while... Finally getting around to hanging lights. I bought 28 - 5000lm 4' LED light fixtures. Hopefully that's plenty of light.

Looks like I have a side gig thanks to my new truck. I'm delivering a new ride to the buyer about 550 miles away. I'm also bringing back his trade.

Maybe I don't have issues because mine is small. But, I turn as tight as I can with a full box all day long and have not had issues. Yet.

You are correct that they pull no push. But they need some slop. If you set them tight at the bottom of the stroke they will get too wide at the top of the stroke. If you are able to watch the end of the links as the 3 point rises you will see them kind of arc out as it gets higher. I had the...

I mow with a Spartan 72" zero turn... That does not cut very well... I also have a 60" mid mount deck for my 1025R that I use occasionally, and my wife will also use it to help from time to time. We have right at 11-1/2 acres and probably mow around 9 of that. The rest is trees and pond.

Any more thoughts after a couple more weeks? I've decided my Spartan has to go. May not be this summer but....
