    What site do you use for weather forecast?

    I use that one as well as my weather station is included. I find they are slow in updating the forecast and including weather alerts. 24 hours in advance they are the most accurate for my specific location.

    Where to Site Ken's Bolt-On Hook on Backhoe Bucket?

    Has anyone installed a receiver on their bh bucket? This would allow for a range of possible connections. Keeping it out of the way but still serviceable would be the trick.

    Interesting observations...

    I have never washed my tractor. It gets greased, maintained, pto and hydraulics capped when not in use and is stored in an open side shed. I treat my tractor as a tool to be respected and cared for. Caked on mud gets rinsed off by driving across the brook. I guess it depends on your relationship...
