Amazing what could be replaced with a turnbuckle and a short few lengths of chain. Lift links are not sacred , nor magic.

Nice fab, and a very nice tool! I wonder what it might do that a planting of radishes and alfalfa would not. Such "organic" means...

Take a look at the spacing on my implement. It has 9 shanks and is 7’ wide. The shanks can be sunk 17” deep.

I don't pay a gym membership/ I'm 73 yo, working up my winter's heat for the past 40 years. But felling, topping and cleaning up, 6...

I've got the B2601 set up for a hydro top link, have the cylinder "mostly" ready. But even a top link from Tractor supply doesn't fit...

Duh.. I'm a little slow tonight. :ROFLMAO: I use red cedars as my stringers in the wood lot, since they last damn near forever in...
