    2025 gardens

    I had a heat related problem here I don't ever remember having before. I had 6" inches of rain here over a 4 day period along with hot sun afterwards. I looked the garden over yesterday morning and noticed some cabbage, lettuce and pepper plants wilted. Checked again yesterday evening and...

    Ditch Witch J20 - Battery Keeps Running Down - Wisconsin TJD Engine

    If it has an alternator sounds like it may have a diode out on the alternator.

    2025 gardens

    Got what I'm going to mulch done yesterday morning. Worked on it the day before too, just too darn hot to do much. I have a good many leaves left so I'm ahead of the game for next year. Heavy rains to the north and south of me, here I keep getting 3-4/10ths each time. Perfect rains must be...

    2025 gardens

    I don't know that the uptake would be as significant as the foliar feeding. Anymore I put a couple TBS. in a small glass jar along with a bit of water so it can dissolve ahead of time, then pour it in my 2 gallon sprayer and fill with water. I also do the same with aspirin water to help with...

    2025 gardens

    I used to put a tsp. in the hole when I set transplants, but now foliar feed plants when they start forming tomatoes. Seems to curb blossom end rot a good bit. I've had little or no BER since I started using it either way, but foliar feeding is the easiest. I use 1 TBS. per gallon of water and...

    JD 40 Fan Belt Replacement

    I was going to suggest getting a set of jumbo wrenches from Harbor Freight, but they aren't that cheap anymore. I got a set years ago when they were like $29.99. Don't use them all that often but when you need them they are worth their weight in gold. If you know the size, I've seen single...

    JD 40 Fan Belt Replacement

    You may be able to put a pry bar on the washer behind the nut and slightly pry upwards and still be able to turn the nut.

    JD 40 Fan Belt Replacement

    Is it necessary to remove the fan at all..?? Try slipping the belt over one fan blade at a time. Should be enough room for it the belt to fit between the radiator and fan if you loosen the fan to adjust it.

    Looks like it's a free flow applicator, not driven. Not sure I'd like that. That's why I used the EW planter so as to meter it out in small amounts. But yeah, if you think about it, get a pic and post.

    If you happen to get a picture of it, would love to see it in case I happen to see one at an auction.

    2025 gardens

    I picked up a 5 gallon bucket of Urea, and Potash last year when getting bulk fertilizer for the hay field, to side dress in the garden. I never used any due to the drought. While hoeing the other day I was thinking I need to get everything side dressed, but meter it out somehow, not just pour...

    2025 gardens

    Curious as to how you plant your pumpkins. The ones we plant at the County Farm Park, tow of the guys in the tractor club have a single A-C lower no-till planter unit, with drop tubes, and a seat mounted on it. Someone rides on it and drops 2 seeds per hill. Marks are painted on a wheel, and you...
