    New grapple day, 55in Wicked grapple

    I know that ad blocker plugins can break some sites and mine reported blocking 13 popups/ads/tracking cookies so I'm sure that has something to do with it. It's easy to just move on. I'm leaning heavily towards Catawba.

    New grapple day, 55in Wicked grapple

    I'm only willing to put in so much effort when trying to give someone my money. I want to research and compare brands and models with a few mouse clicks. I'm not even able to see specs on their website using Brave or Chrome browsers. Fortunately there are a lot of quality grapples on the...

    New grapple day, 55in Wicked grapple

    Homestead makes multiple styles but I gave up on them because I can't get their website to work. I've tried two different browsers, both with popup blockers, and they go nuts on HI's site and I can't actually see or order anything.

    New grapple day, 55in Wicked grapple

    I'm in the market for a grapple. Is EA under new management? I've read enough about their past business practices to be wary. I'm leaning towards Catawba.

    Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

    Here's one I took a month or so ago.

    Particulate filter

    DPF and DEF are two different (but related) things. Tractors between 25-75 hp have DPF which seem pretty reliable. Tractors above 75 HP have DEF. I don't know how reliable DEF systems are on tractors but on semis and diesel RVs they have been plagued with expensive problems.

    Particulate filter

    A particulate filter doesn't worry me in the least - I just ordered a 35hp tractor that will have a filter. No big deal - just let it burn off when it wants and it'll be fine. I suspect the relatively few people who do have problems are because they weren't patient enough to allow it regen...

    L3560HST-LE with 555 loader

    I have to remind myself that I went to the dealer expecting to buy an L2502 knowing that it would suit my needs but right next to it was this L3560HST-LE for almost $1000 less. I've decided that the 555 loader is plenty and I'm getting a heavier, higher horsepower tractor with some nice...

    L3560HST-LE with 555 loader

    My local dealer has a screaming deal on an L3560 but it has the 555 loader. It would be almost $15k more to have him order one with the 805 loader. Will I regret it? I'm on 6 treed acres and have to take out some trees to make way for a pole barn, but after that it will be mostly brush...

    Barndominium/Shop or "real" House?

    I agree. That's the one update the realtor wanted before listing that I said no to.

    Barndominium/Shop or "real" House?

    Your first sentence is correct but not the last one. Kitchens and bathrooms go in and out of style too quickly. We're in the process of selling our house right now and our realtor wants us to paint the solid ash cabinets that were in style 30+ years ago. People want sleek looking painted MDF...

    Camp property search

    I'm curious if anyone knows what the ballpark cost is for demolition & removal of a small house and garage.

    Need utility Side by Side

    I'm curious what brand you see eating belts. I've seen more than a few Polaris belts being changed on trails but the other manufacturers seem to have it figured out. Yamaha has a 10 year belt warranty and I don't recall seeing anyone having a belt failure on the forums I've followed in the past.

    Road privacy shrubs & cutting white pines?

    In my neck of the woods Asian Honeysuckle will take over if you blink or turn your back for a few seconds. It's great for privacy but unfortunately is invasive. I let it take over one property line of our previous house but there are more desirable species growing naturally at our new place so...

    2018 Dixie Chopper Zee 2 wiring

    I don't know if this will be at all helpful or just add to your confusion, but I have a Dixie Chopper Classis 3372HP and there's a black wire coming out of the bundle that runs by the starter solenoid. That black wire goes to what looks like a ground tab on a heat sink above and in front of the...
