    Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

    I own a smaller "quiet" compressor from HF. It works very well and is quiet enough to talk over without really raising your voice. My wife didn't even realize it was running when we used it while working on the chicken coop build.

    Clamp on hitch receiver, whatam I missing?

    Because I don't want to drop the backhoe to move a trailer. It is also easier to see pushing a trailer.

    Clamp on hitch receiver, whatam I missing?

    Thanks for the replies. It moves mostly side to side. I'll try some shim materials to see if it will stay put before attempting something more permanent. Tightening with a cheater pipe didn't help. It was super tight until the trailer moved about a foot. Very aggravating. From the positive...

    Can <40hp compact tractor tow a trailer?

    Question about the truck getting stuck. Is the truck 4 wheel drive? As others have said, tractor shouldn't have any issues towing. Traction could be an issue for the tractor as well as the truck. I wouldn't take my tractor anywhere my truck gets stuck. Granted, my truck is much more of an off...

    Clamp on hitch receiver, whatam I missing?

    I have a clamp on receiver that I'd like to use to move my cargo trailer and 2 horse trailer. It hasn't gone well when I've used it. No matter how tight I clamp it, it promptly slides around in use. What could I be missing? There is literally just one screw clamp and I would have thought it was...

    SHIPPING CONTAINERS / Sea Cans

    I went with a 40' high cube. Really worked well for storage. Have storage shelving units that allow usage of the extra height. Also had a roll-up door installed in the middle of one side. Made access much easier. Of course now mine has been primarily converted into the feed room and hay storage...

    Fencing my property

    I have used the 2x4 no climb fencing with good results. Last year we installed a lot of fencing because we got horses and donkeys. Went with Finishline fencing. Very happy with it. https://finishlinefence.com/ When limbs fall on it you remove them and the fence goes right back in place. I...

    Compact Tractor Dealers Ignore Two-thirds of Their Potential Website Customers, Industry Survey Shows

    I prefer to make initial contact via email or text if it's an option. Always at work before dealerships open and still working when they close. At work my focus is on people doing business with me so I can't work around the schedule of salesperson. When I bought my tractor last year it started...

    Does anybody buy bulk feed?

    I don't have enough animals to buy in bulk but the prices at TSC are getting a bit high. Everywhere else is too. Starting to tire of feeding the wife's "ladys" AKA chickens since they presently haven't laid eggs in quite a while. Not really sure why we need almost 40 chickens and 16 ducks that...

    Horse arena ground prep

    I might end up just leveling ours out and possibly having sand brought in once I find out how expensive that will be. I know there is a gravel pit nearby that actually donated sand for a local riding club so they should be able to sell me a decent sand instead of builders sand. My daughter...

    Horse arena ground prep

    Very nice! I'll look into that next.

    Horse arena ground prep

    Mostly general training and some barrel training. My daughter has 2 quarter horses and an OTTB. She has decided the race horse needs to be a barrel horse. Probably one of the mares also if she can manage. Plus she has mammoth donkeys to train.

    Horse arena ground prep

    I have an excavator that has done a lot of work for me. Unfortunately he hasn't any experience with arenas, just typical excavation.

    Horse arena ground prep

    Presently deciding on box blade vs tow behind scraper. Will have at least a drag harrow as well. Harrow may turn into two. One for the tractor and a smaller one for ATV so that my daughter can groom round pen as well. I have my eye on a disc on Marketplace now too. Tiller would be useful but not...
