Howdy folks, So yesterday I was doing a little bit of mowing and I backed my MX6 into a pine tree. DOH! What stinks is that I was in neutral with the power reverser just about to start going forward. I have actually done this a couple of times in the past, and nothing has ever broken. Anyway...

It's gray. Here's an older pic.

Howdy all, I had a 700' deep well drilled for our new home last September. The well sat there and didn't really run at all until we moved into the house this past April. After being in the house about two weeks, we started to notice that wonderfully aromatic smell of sulfur / rotten eggs...

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Got R done this AM, before the rain hits again tomorrow / Thurs. I'll leave it like this for a while and let the 1" rocks get good and packed into the clay base, then probably put some finer stuff down on top in a couple months. Where the trailer is...

Howdy fellow TBNers, Just about finished with our new build. We had a 30x20' concrete apron poured at the approach for our two-car garage for now. I wanted to wait to pour more concrete until we move out there and get a feel for our entering / backing out of the garage habits. So right...

I had a 50hp JD 5103 2wd with an FEL for almost a year. I spun the rear tires more times than I wish to recall with that thing. I traded it for a MFWD 5075E, and one of the first things I did with my new tractor was move this monster stump: I have filled rears and had about 750# of ballast...

I have an Echo CS-330. It is a little monster. After an initial tune up, it has run unbelievable well and has cut down trees it never should have. I've always used Echo products in years of lawn care, and they've always been superb. I'm looking at a CS-590 as a new saw. I just cut up a...

Here's why I did not buy a cab... Spent the money I would have spent on a cab on a nice new trailer! AND saved some towing weight by not having a cab! :D

And... It fits in my shop by about 1/2"! :D

Here's some detailed pics of the more "boring" stuff...

Here she be:

Saw this today... wow! And that's with the OEM hitch. I guess it's some new hitch design? And 7000# payload?! :shocked: 2015 Silverado 3500HD: Diesel Trucks | Chevrolet Here are a couple vids: 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD Diesel - YouTube 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD Diesel 4WD First...

Well, had the welds redone on the truck this week. Here are the before and afters, side by side. Easy to see the new welds are a LOT better. The shop guy said that when he started grinding down the old welds, pieces just began flying off. Clearly the original welds weren't too strong. I feel...

Well, no trailer today. I guess the hot shot that was running a load of trailers to my dealer from OKC didn't run today - unknown to the dealer until it got to mid afternoon and his new trailers didn't show up and mine was still sitting in the yard. Looks like it'll be here tomorrow around Noon...

And if they are long enough to offer the same angle onto the trailer. I did the slide on ramps thing on a low boy that my grandfather in law borrowed me. No thanks ever again. I didn't like riding a wheelie onto the trailer! (Wouldn't have done that if I left the loader on, but I took it off...
