Very Nice. I see my tractor has 8.8 Metric grade bolts. Basically Grade 5 holding on the front brush guard. Did you upgrade the bolts to 10.9 when you welded those rings on?

I love our new Kubota tractor and I thank many of you in this forum for all the info that helped us to purchase a L6060 grand. We have been wrapping a strap around the front axle to trailer it and it felt sketchy. Mostly because we thought 1" ratchet straps from Harbor Frieght might be a bit...

I am hoping to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of owning a Mini skid steer vs a compact tractor for some personal, but mostly business use. In my case, I need to rototill, power rake, auger holes, use a grapple, level land and do small and larger bucket work. I was leaning to a...

I am looking to get some better lighting for our barn with 16-foot ceilings. I want to move away from 4-foot lights and make everything simple. Seems to me that these "deformable" LED lights are going to fit the bill but I wanted to get everyone else advice before I pulled the trigger...

I have been on a buying spree of different LED lights to get my shop up to par on lights. I am not doing anything too crazy other than screwing in new bulbs as I do not want to rewire everything. I started out with these.

I am working to outfit my shop with a good air compressor that will allow me to run large impact wrenches, a fair sized sand blaster, die grinders and polishers. Air tools are cheap and seem to last a long time, but the air compressor that runs them is not inexpensive! I have been searching...

My wife is beautiful and here blue eyes :eek: will drive me to complete most anything she has asked. Recently she has asked me to redo the landscaping around our home. Sounded like a great excuse for some tractor time, but that has rutted up the side yard bad and the time spend correcting the...

We have a bad injector on our old IH again. We are pouring out black smoke and getting fuel in the oil. So, we are going to replace all the injectors, but are wondering there is an easy way to see if one cylinder is hotter than another. We were going to buy a temp gun, but a thermal imager...

I am looking for a good quality generator that will be close to 5,000 watts. I need it to run a refrigerator, open garage doors and maybe run a few tools if needed. This would not be to run a full home! Just our cabin that is pretty rustic. I need one that will work when needed and will put...

What are you guys using to break down all the small stuff attached to the engines on the new tractors? it seems a small impact wrench or ratchet would be a good time saver. Milwaukee gas a new small impact out and I am thinking of trying it. I am not familiar with these small units. That...

I am looking for a good impact wrench that does not have me with a lone set of batteries for it. I know snap on and Ingersol rand make good ones, but are they better than Dewalt or Milwaukee? I just cannot see that they are that much better other than priced higher. I want something to remove...

We have multiple locations on our farm that have no power, but either house expensive equipment or we need light when we arrive. We also have multiple times when we need light at our pump stations when the power seems to completely fail due to an overload. I need about 15 of these types of...

I have been looking at this new John Deere Ground Force Tractor Deere has out. It looks like it is perfect for what i am looking for and even has a trailer with it. I am hesitant with the simple 2 speed transmission with auto brake. The rest looks good. Has a radio, adjustable seat and arm...

My wife is always walking back and forth from the garden to get small tools. Sometimes it's a bit worse and she send me. I was on Amazon and I found this sleeve that goes around a bucket. I picked it up for 11 bucks and she was almost jumping for joy. If anyone else might be looking for...

I have read the threads on here and on other forums about the LockNLube coupler and I am skeptical still for the price. After watching this video and actually seeing it, I went an bought one. They have free shipping on Amazon. LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler The video is on youtube

I have been struggling with condensation on my windows and then very dry skin or bloody noses this winter. We moved into a new home and I cannot get the humidity to stay constant. It seems that I am either putting too much humidity in the air or not enough. To check this, I am thinking of...

I own a diesel truck and car so this be more important to me than others, but, the TDI forum I read at has a deal going on for discounted Optilube. I have always used XPD in all my tractors since they are run a lot and sit for a while. Diesel Fuel Lube ? The Best Additives Made for HPFP...

I am building a barn about 800 feet off the road and plan to make a road by building it up with sand and then putting down a layer of large rock. My excavator recommended I use large crushed concrete. I am unsure of that! He would then cap it with fine crushed concrete and finally lime stone...

Wife and I are in the cleaning process and getting rid of items that we have stored but not used. We are looking to pack the rest of the stuff up in plastic tubs or boxes so the store neat and are easy to move. Moving boxes are expensive! So we looked at tubs, also expensive. Anyone have any...
