    Glyphosphate - application rate advice needed

    You are correct. I didn’t get my thoughts and typing synced. I do use a solo cup but it’s for a four gallon sprayer. Not a per gallon measurement. Sorry about that and thanks for the correction.

    Glyphosphate - application rate advice needed

    I use the highly scientific method of the top line of a red solo cup of chemical per one gallon of water. This works for me. Not sure if this answers your question or not.

    Mowing Steep Hills

    I almost forgot. BCS tillers have a sickle mower attachment you can put on their machines. They also sell metal spiked wheels as an accessory. I've seen one of these in action before on a steep hill and was very impressed

    Mowing Steep Hills

    There's a company out of Wisconsin called RC Mowers. I've seen one in action and it is very, very impressive. We have very long steep banks where I work and the lawn service company has one. I was more than jealous when I saw it.

    Today, would you buy an EV vehicle.

    I absolutely would. I think they have a fairly specific application currently due to range and time to recharge mostly. But as people who fit in that application continue to use them the technology will advance for more use cases. Do I think EV will totally replace internal combustion...

    Mahindra dies after turning it on its side

    I don't have a lot to offer other than it will be interesting to see the condition of the glow plugs once you pull them. I also agree that you probably need to purge your fuel line of air.

    Hi-Lift Jacks... debating 4ft vs 5ft..

    Hey! I was born and raised in the town where Hi-Lifts are manufactured. Sounds like you are from an awesome part of the world! I don't live there now but get back there multiple times a year. I still call it home. Great place, and a great jack if you are careful.

    Would a zero turn be faster than a B2601?

    As others have said there are lots of variables. I have approximately the same acreage I cut weekly. I have several outbuildings sidewalks, fence lines, pool, garden, trees, etc. to mow around. I've cut it with a finishing mower but didn't enjoy it as it sat high and I was always ducking...

    Broke 2 Oil filter wrenches

    A trick I learned from my father was to take a leather belt and wrap it around the stubborn filter and pull on the 'tail' of the belt. For some reason this works when nothing other than a cold chisel will.

    why so many jeeps now on road?

    Keep owner here. Bought it back in ‘07 new. It it is just just touching 240k. Love everything about it for what it is designed to be. Just recently purchased and new truck and didn’t consider trading it the Jeep. I’ve been able to do just about anything I’ve wanted to do with it from driving...

    Looks like a great log splitter

    I like the concept but as others have mentioned I don't think it would handle tough grained wood very well. It would also need a horizontal bar that goes across the top of the round to keep it from wondering too far up. Having said all of this I'm not a huge fan of horizontal splitters. I...

    Time for a Zero Turn

    I can't speak to your brand comparison questions but I can speak to buying a zero turn. Less than a month ago I made the switch. I had a very trusty but very tired Craftsman YT3000. I've had it for years. Where I lived previously it was fine. But now I have much more lawn to mow and the...

    As a customer what is acceptable to you?

    I work in an industry that is pummeled by shortages due to what is going on everywhere. The person from whom I'm ordering has little or no control when they get the things I need. In my experience they have been great about communicating to me that the lead time is going to be excessive. In...

    logsplitter question

    Long time lurker here. I grew up splitting wood and have most of my adult life. I've used both standalone and 3 point hitch. My preference is 3 point hitch as I like to use the same tool as many ways as I can. Having said, there are valid reasons to go with a standalone. For me, I'd rather...
