    A challenge to you creative people

    It's been a while since posting here but I wanted to issue a challenge to you guys who know how to fab everything. In my ongoing effort to get out of work I'm trying to think of a way to convert a couple of big shipping pallets (from Kubota btw) into large manure containers. I want to be able...

    A cheaper dump trailer

    Has anybody bought or seen one of these <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.enasco.com/prod/ProductDetail?sku=Z09151N&title=Farm+%26+Ranch/>trailers</A> in action? They're alot cheaper than the heavier duty ones I've seen. Would they hold up for just around the farm use like hauling manure?

    Gas disposal

    What's the best way to get rid of a gallon or so of old gas mixed with oil? All the recommendations for 2 cycle engines say to dispose of old gas/oil mixtures and use new but they don't say where to put the old stuff. What do you guys do?

    What to look for in a used truck

    Since I took 11 months to buy a new chainsaw (and I appreciate everyone's advice on that) I plan on taking at least the same amount of time to look for a good used pickup. Just slow, I guess. I'm thinking about a Ford F250 or F350 diesel for pulling a horse trailer, farm chores and so on...

    Another septic system question

    When our septic system was installed they didn't do a very good job of grading over the laterals. It's rough as a cob to mow over. Is there any harm in smoothing this out with my boxblade, then harrowing and reseeding the bare spots?

    Removing the FEL

    I remember seeing something similar to this in a different post but can't find it in Search. I haven't taken off my loader in >50 hours of use and would like to try it. Reading the manual makes it sound like you have to turn off the tractor several times too many. Any tricks or other things I...

    Snow line from AZ to MA

    If you look at the US doppler radar map right now you'll see a line of snow basically from Arizona to Maine. Amazing.

    Roadside litter

    Do you guys get much litter along your property? We only have about 750 feet of frontage but I pick up a bag of trash about every month. I think people around here litter more than other places.

    Blocking the clutch pedal

    On the L3410 there is a little hook that you can attach to the clutch pedal when it's pushed in. How long of a time idle would require leaving the clutch disengaged?

    Big round bales

    How long will the hay stay good on a round bale left outside if it's just tied with plastic twine and not wrapped?
