I'd just save it and use it to start a brush pile fire whenever you've done some clearing. In Texas that seems to be several times a year.

Smokeydog, I just went to HF and purchased the same Jack on your recommendation. HF had just sent me a “manager’s coupon” good for 25% off of one item, no exclusions, and I had just had another experience of picking up my current floor Jack and carrying it outside to put under a trailer when I...

Use it for burning brush piles. Maybe for mixing with Remedy to kill mesquite. But don’t put it in an engine and expect it to burn without any issues. It’s just not worth taking a chance.

I bought a 50 year old car on eBay and naively believed what the seller told me. His ad described the tires as having "zero miles on them." Now wouldn't a reasonable person believe that means the tires are new? Well, when the car arrived the tires were old, cracked and nearly bald. I called...

I decided to go electric when both Husqvarna gas chain saws crapped out. Repairman said they both weren’t worth fixing due to the damage done them by ethanol containing gas. Learned a lesson there to only use the ethanol free in the future. One was an older model 245 and the other was a 455...

My situation exactly! I never would’ve understood this when I was younger, as I was a wheeler dealer who relished getting full price or more for something I picked up cheap and used until I no longer needed it. Today I look at my accumulated “stuff” and realize that I do NOT want my kids and...

I’ve got 140 acres in the Texas Hill Country. My experience has been with clearing fields that nature has tried to reclaim with small trees, primarily mesquite and cedars. The roots on these trees are very deep and spread out. I have a John Deere 310D backhoe and a 65 hp JD tractor with a loader...

Since you don’t own a trailer or a hitch I’d seriously consider going gooseneck rather than rear or bumper pull. Easier to back up, maneuver, and also more stable on the road.

DO NOT listen to anyone on here who tells you, “this might be for real” or “take the check, let it clear, it might be legit.” There is NO statute of limitations on a fraudulent check. Even if it clears and you get the cash, once the bank discovers that it’s bogus they will come to you for...

The initial idea was to develop a mutual economic dependency which would bring down the level of tension as neither could afford to beat up the other. Also, it was thought that if the plight of the average person in China could be improved then they would see the wisdom of behaving in a...

Exactly, precisely! If I need it, and it says Made in China on it, I don’t buy it, look for one made elsewhere, or find a used one I can use or refurbish. Cheaper is NOT better if it’s made with fillings extracted from slave laborer’s mouths involuntarily. But, it seems that all the average...

It’s been so long since I bought a new tractor that I haven’t paid attention to what has been going on with the new ones. I really only had a slight idea of all the changes that have been put in place with the newer models and, i must say, it is enough to make me keep my old smog-crap-free JD...

It’s a New Holland Ford I believe and it belongs to my cousin For whom I am putting up this thread. He had someone pressure wash the whole thing and now it sometimes has trouble starting and other times just dies in the middle of using it. He says that you can get to restart eventually by...

2005 ford 55 hp electrical problem. Pressure washed entire tractor. Now it runs intermittently and just decides to quit. Anyone know what could be wrong? I’ve replaced 2 of 3 modules, all fuses, and switches. Still acting up.

Thanks guys. I have checked around and it still seems that the Woodmaxx is pretty decent value for the buck. I put my name on their wait list and thursday I received a text telling me they had my unit in stock. I made the call and it should be here as soon as the freight carrier can get it to...
