Thank you for the information. The Tung oil ihas already been ordered so I will be using that. I plan to thin it out and apply multiple coats until it stops soaking in. The plow will see more loving next week than it has seen in, probably a century. And, it will be appreciated rather than...

Topzide, Done (ordered the Black Star and Tung Oil). Thank you for the suggestions.

Topzodi, I like it. Do you think a quart of Black Star will cover the metal of a single bottom plow or would I be better off getting a gallon? Ahh, the projects never end :)

Topzide, What is Black Star? Sarg, What color paint do you use on the metal?

I have an old horse drawn, single bottom, plow that was my great grandfather's. It has been stored sheds/barns in multiple states for ..... decades but I have decided that I would rather have it out as "yard art" than let it lived such a sheltered life. It's in GREAT shape, though obviously...

I'm a new, first time, grapple owner. I used to cut, haul, and burn limbs and brush on my property too. These past three weeks, I used the grapple (and a new dump trailer) to haul everything (except logs that I will process into firewood) to the dump (free yard debris dumping during most of May...

A Medicare supplement is not the same as a Medicare Part D drug plan. A supplement pays the 20% part B expenses that Medicare doesn't cover and (in most plans) the part A deductible ($1675 per benefit period in 2025). A Part D (drug) plan helps pay for the cost of prescriptions. Our Part D...

Medigap or Supplemental insurance is an "optional" policy from a "private company" that pays the 20% Part B costs (and the part A deductible) that Medicare doesn't pay. It is in addition to Medicare (it has a separate, additional, premium). In my case, the Medigap insurer we choose sure as...

A note of caution should you choose to self insure prior to going on Medicare. My Medigap (aka, Medicare Supplement) provider required proof that we had health insurance prior to starting their plan. I have no idea if this practice is common throughout the industry and across the country, or...

I still don't think a tractor forum is the best place to research such a weighty topic, but you are correct that there are a lot of common sense folks here who have already been down this road. With that, I will toss out some ideas that will look random, but they all play together (and not...

You might want to consult with an independent insurance broker. A good one should be able to lay out all the options for your situation.

Thank you to everyone for your comments.

Hi, I am thinking of getting a Kioti KG-2060 grapple for my Kubota L2501. It's available locally (big win for me given I am in the NW and everyone adds shipping to their prices for our area), "seems to be" well made, and has what I think is a reasonable price ($2000) from a shop that I like and...

Advanced.
