How to turn a fox into a dog ?? . . . . . Marry her.

I have a vintage (1986) car. Learned to drive with a stick 55 years ago, Next two cars were stick, until I moved to a major metro area. The traffic required the change to automatic. The vintage car is still fun to drive vs an automatic.

Sun and weather are the enemies of equipment. All except the new car is under a roof... only because there's no room in a garage for it. :cry:

Another Road Boss LP owner here: Using a Land plane to crown the road is a two step process. Mounting Adjustment on the tractor is key. Adjust your drag lift arms so the left side lifts before the right side moves. My Road Boss LP angles the blades right to left rear. As LP works, gravel...

Consider your jobs. Any task that requires you to get off the tractor multiple times makes a cab very inconvenient. Also, the door requires clearance. Some cabs only open on one side. Any work in the woods is a huge risk for expensive damage. Hours in the field or plowing snow is where a...

While this helps with the gelling... There's water to contend with. All Summer, your tanks, both on the tractor and in the shed are condensing water vapor from the air. Treating the diesel fuel to absorb the water and prevent gelling avoids a bunch of problems... algae being the worse.

9-1-1 is for gelled fuel. One takes a hit on lubricity with the stuff. It's better to be prepared before the cold weather hits. I've used Howes Diesel Treatment to prevent gelling and absorb any moisture for years. A single bottle every Fall gets me through the Winter. Label says will treat...

I bought a dual rear wheel p/u truck new in 2001. Today, it has 79,000 miles. When it's used, it has hauled tons of fertilizer, 3600 pounds of concrete block (One), GN horse & flatbed trailer, fuel tanks, firewood, etc. Only the truck can transport these items. As a grocery getter, it sucks...

I have a "Road Boss" Key features are serrated front blade that digs in. Never needed any extra weight. Replaceable skid shoes, Most important, adjustable blades to compensate for wear. Simple heavy duty piece of equipment. I got mine when demo'ed at my farm. Worked so well, I bought it on...

On site owner supervision is a must. I was engineer in charge of a project. I told the crew using a trencher to stop and hand dig at a point where I knew a gas line was. I trusted them to stop and left. A few minutes later, hell broke out... they figured using the trencher was easier.... and...

IMHO .. Your main issue is weight. Can your tractor lift it? Power at the PTO will limit your speed, width of cut (take less than 6 foot per pass) and density of the vegetation.

Fire protection needs to be reliable. Ever notice that electric fire pumps don't have overload protection? When it runs, the pump has to run even to destruction if it saves the building. Trying to run a fire pump from aux hydraulic circuit isn't a good use. A make shift fire pump power is a...

How many have a sprinkler system in the garage? 20 years ago, in Atlanta, Georgia area, new construction included a sprinkler head over the vehicle. With EV's today, seems like a good idea to slow the fire.

How does one access the knives? or clear a jam? I don't see a hydraulic infeed. With only 23 hp you will be well served with adjustable infeed. I bought a Woodland Mills WC-88 several years ago. This unit doesn't compare well to it. (just ask me) Not even for the price difference.
