I have a box blade and land grader. Both Woods and both 6 ft. The grader is a one trick pony. Does driveways great. Moving dirt not so much. If I'm doing my driveway which is about 1300 ft long I use the grader blade for general cleanup. But if I have some serious washout I use the BB with the...

Not a very good picture but I use a ammo can along with a basket. This way I can keep tools separate from the other stuff I carry. I also can get the ammo/tool box and take it somewhere if need be.

I have a Mahindra 1533 that the FEL will lift about 1700lbs. The few dealers I have spoken to says they have 4000lbs 48in forks. Isn't that an overkill? The forks they offer weigh around 375-400lbs. Woods offers a set of 2200lbs with 42in that weigh in at 275. Do I need 4000lbs forks if my...

I've had my ZT2 50in cut for a few years now and really like it. Still use my tractor on the rougher fields with the 72in finish mower. But I can get more grass cut quicker on a Zero turn.

With winter coming in I was thinking of ways to clear my gravel drive without removing half the gravel along with the snow. Came up with this idea and it didn't cost me a dime. Already had a 4 inch x 8 foot piece of PVC pipe. I cut it down to 6 feet then cut it long ways. Slipped it over the...

I have a 72 in finish mower I have for my Mahindra 1533. I only use for two fields whick are pretty rough riding. The other parts I use my zero turn. Used to have a riding mower before the ZT. Took me over 4 hrs to cut all my grass. That was cutting out with rider then finishing with the...

I built this a few years ago. Worked really well. I don't use it as much anymore. But it's nice to have around.

I've had it about 4 years. Thinking about selling it. Never really use it. Taking up too much room in the shed. Don't remember what I paid for it. Bought it new.

I have that basket also. Had on the backside of the ROPS. It was in the way when I went to use the 3 point. So I moved it to the side using different braces and resting it on the fender. Its great. Love it. Use it all the time. Just don't care for it where it was designed to go.

A buddy of mine is looking at a 2006 4110 4x4 Shuttle shift with 2700 hrs. Comes with loader. And has Remotes on rear. Says mechanically perfect but we know how that can be. Not a dealer. Private sale. Anything he should look for? Does need a grill. Wants $11,950

I use a SawHaul and I put a ammo box on the inside of my ROPS and a basket on the outside for my gas can, oil, another small toolbox and other assorted tools I might need.

I've been kickin around the idea of getting a helmet for a few years. So when I saw this, it got my attention. My wife just so happen to be reading this over my shoulder and asked why don't I have one. I said I don't know. Never really crossed my mind that I would really need one. Then, like...

Started hanging some fence line. Got 100 feet done pretty quick but the sun started to set and mama was blowin my phone up. She needed help with some stuff that could have waited. But you gotta keep mama happy. No rain for the next few days so I should get more done.

I've lucky so far. Heard them but haven't seen any. We've got about 250 acres of woods behind us so I would think they have enough food back there not to come too close. The times I do hear them I will pop off a few rounds in that direction and I'll be good for awhile. I do walk the property...

Got it home. I have NEVER driven or even sat on a zero turn. This is going to be fun. Did drive it around the back yard for awhile. Little bit of a learning curve. Was pushing when I should be pulling. LOL, almost hit a tree. That was funny. Only messed with it for about 20 minutes. Got it off...
