    Do I really need a tractor on 1.5 acres?

    Had an older neighbor years back & when I said something about the tractor ruts in his yard(s)........his simple reply was, thems aint ruts datz character. He was always happy & I'd bet he still is.

    Another backhoe question

    Our BH offers the needed occasional counter weight. Priceless, so many times. It has also pushed us out of a stuck situation. Wife sometimes gets into places (in swamp) & there is no going forward. Sometimes I think she does this to renew our marriage vows. Would never get rid of either of...

    Blood tracking flashlight

    For out door detection, I don't know. Indoor or in a protective environment you may consider a luminal kit. Should your problem be during or just after a hunting pursuit check with Cabela's

    I was snookered!

    Whenever I hear someone follow their message w/ a little laugh, ha ha ha or ''right'', my BS radar goes off. Even face to face the SCAM continues. Women will raise their eyebrows & at times tilt their head w/ wider opened eyes. Have a grand daughter who was playing that little game & told her...

    What is the dumbest thing you have done with your equipment ?

    Considered lending our LS to a good bud of mine. Thought better of it soon after & did the task myself for him. I look at it as saving a friendship & my tractor.

    How often should you grease a tractor for light duty?

    We are light duty users of our equipment. However often we must get into the ponds or under big tree stumps, where we use water to wash out the under roots before cutting. It is all muddy & add the constant Florida sand then you will know why we grease everything that gets water intrusion...

    Need advice on a larger chainsaw for an older guy.

    I have to admit, I'm doing about everything wrong w/ this CS-590. Poor thing, maybe it just needs a better operator. Even using the compression release on restarts. It has been common for me to trigger pull when restarting, in the past. All cold starts were under compression release pressed...
