    Prices on driveway paving

    Howdy folks. I used the search function but didn't find any results from the last seven years. I have about 250yds of driveway on my soon to be constructed home. I'd like to start budgeting for getting that paved. We will be doing a decent amount of snow removal in the winter, and that sure goes...

    Best way to clean up hydraulic fluid?

    I learned some lessons this weekend, the cost of which was a cylinder worth of hydraulic fluid all over me and my storage area. The stuff is everywhere. I sopped up all the freestanding fluid so there's no puddles, but what's the best way to clean this up? My plan is to take some purple...

    Favorite diesel can?

    One full tank lasted me almost 19 hours, I couldn't believe it.

    Favorite diesel can?

    You made me get out my manual. Huh, turns out my tank is only 11 gallons! I'm not sure where I got the 14 number... Good catch.

    Favorite diesel can?

    Hi all, looking for a purchase recommendation. I'm looking for a diesel container to fuel my Kubota L3302. It'll hold 14 11 gallons, and I really don't want to buy three two 5gal diesel containers. The glass can I bought were for gas, and they sucked, so hoping to use the collective knowledge...

    Wiring an old Lincoln AC/DC 225

    Given that I already have everything for the four wire 14-50 set up (cable/plug/recepticle), would it be safe to just wire nut the neutral inside the welder cabinet and hook up the two hots and the ground?

    Metals supermarket

    Banker here. If you paid with a card and they had to do a currency conversion, then you likely got charged 1%. That's not from your bank, that from the card company (visa or mastercard). If it's something other than that, I might be able to add more details.

    Wiring an old Lincoln AC/DC 225

    Hi folks. I recently purchased a used AC/DC 225 welder, that the previous owner had removed the power cable from. I have a 6/4SOOW 20' cord left from another project that already has a NEMA 14-50 plug. I'd like to utilize this cord, but what the heck do I do with the neutral on the welder side...

    Equipment Trailer plans

    Good info here, thanks all. I have two 3500lb axels gifted to me and electronic breaks. I also have a new-to-me tombstone welder just begging for a project. It does look like buying might be the better option for me after all. I’ll store these axles for now. Thanks again

    Equipment Trailer plans

    Hi All, Googling "Free trailer plans" yields a ton of junk. Does anyone know a good resource for trailer blueprints? This would be for a 16' 7k car hauler style trailer for moving my tractor around.

    Anyone bought a new Kubota lately?

    Hi all. I just purchased an L3302 and remotes are taking a while to get in, is Kubota/Land Pride having a difficult time getting this stuff to dealerships? We're at two weeks and no confirmed date when they'll come in. I'm curious if anyone else is having a hard time getting hydraulic components.

    Kubota or John Deer

    I recently went through this. Kubota was a little cheaper because of some incentives. Financing was MUCH better through Kubota. But ultimately it came down to dealership service, my local Kubota guys took good care of me though the decision process and they have a good reputation for...
