I had a problem with algae and added some areators to help the beneficial bacteria eat it. Also the algae lowers the oxygen level and can kill some fish. The water is much cleaner and the fish are more active. I got mine at septic solutions, they have septic air pumps that are quite and don’t...

I have the same tank from tractor supply, it was dented and needs paint around the dents. it has no leaks but when I shined a light inside and saw some rust at the bottom. the diesel should stop that. I built a pallet type of cart that fits my forks. When it’s on the forks the power cord on the...

You probably got your third function factory installed. I just said I wanted it included in the deal but did not know enough to know the difference between after market and factory and assumed or I would have insisted on OE. I like the looks of the original joy stick muck better. But hey I love...

Mine was installed by the dealer before I got it, I think it is a wr long.

I got this 100 gallon tank at tractor supply and made a cart. The tractor forks can grab it from the sides or ends. I bolted it to the cart and added a fill-rite 12 volt pump. I can strap it in my truck or on my trailer to go and fill it. I do not want to store fuel for too long so this size...

Hey guys, I did a upgrade I wanted to share. When mowing I had to turn up the music too loud to hear the words. It was just muddy sounding. I took out a speaker and looked it up on the net they cost $4 ea so no wonder. I spent a bunch of time measuring and researching. I came up with JVC...

Dusty3030, thanks for the articles that was something I had not thought about. I might make some areas at the sides and ends to help the wildlife. If the spraying works I can let the hay go to seed as cover too. I did have some turkeys out there a few months ago. Does anyone have...

Here are some pictures from the cabin/house. I mowed most of it with the tractor a few days ago. You can also see the 1/2 acre pond I am trying to tame and refurbish. The reason I mentioned pines is because my dad had a guy come in with mules to cut and remove the old growth pines and preserve...

So this pasture is about 16 acres of 125 and has the rolling tiers to keep water on it. It was cut for hay about 3 times a year and the hay given to the guy that cut it as way to keep it mowed. That guy and my father both passed about 4 years ago. It has only been cut about 6 times since then. I...

Wow looking good. Research pond rake or lake rake, they make hand rakes that cut the vegetation below the water line. It looks like the vegetation only goes a few feet out from the bank so you can get it from the bank. Everything green that goes into the water adds to the muck. I can not see...

I just got that fence stapler before the outbreak. I paid around $350 for the gun bare tool on eBay from a seller called hums hardware or something like that. And 2 boxes of staples and other dewalt stuff form Murdochs farm and ranch when they had a half off Dewalt sale at the same time. Murdoch...

I picked up this fuel pump on amazon on sale today only. Is seems to be same thing sold at Harbor Freight and Northern Tool. I am hoping to get a Black Friday deal on a tank from tractor supply or northern to put on skids. If not I will get a drum. I do not know if this is any good but I read in...

This is the Texas property. Most of this needs to go. I keep some cedars that have straight trunks and are not near oaks to have some green after I limb them up.

Hi all, I have been lurking here for a few years and enjoying all the info everyone brings. I live in central Texas and have about 8 acres divided into lots that I have to get ready to develop. That includes building a gravel road, removing cedars and everything but oaks, scrapping up the rocks...
