I have one of these box scrapers that I bought 7 years ago for my little JD garden tractor. Tractor gone but the box scraper is still kicking around. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026SQOTK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also have one of these for my SCUT Is it worth...

Took off the FEL. Straightened the kick stand on the new to me woods tiller. Checked it all out, greased. Checked and adjusted the PTO clutch, what a job that is. Then since it was all hooked up I tilled the garden for the first time. 30 minutes to do my 50x100' garden instead of 12 hours...

I lost one near the end of the season last year. Lost the pin as well. Luckily I noticed before the wheel fell out. I used a spare shear pin for my snow blower PTO shaft as a temp fix, it's still in there waiting for me to replace when I get my mower ready. Dealer had none. Quoted me the same...

Speaking of, the tiller was delivered this afternoon. It has some minor issue that I noticed when I looked at it but forgot. The kick stand is bent, I think I can straighten it, but if not it will work. It looks like the previous owner till with the kick stand down, but not a surprise...

Just curios if this is something that needs to be checked every year or every so many hours according to the OM or just something that you check because you've had an issue with them coming loose. Still waiting for mine to be delivered so haven't gotten a chance to read the manual yet.

It would have been nice to have no bill when I retire, but I'll settle for a extremely small yearly bill. Although, I have been contemplating adding more panels. I was not expecting to add heat pumps when I installed the solar 7 years ago.

Excess production was never planned for my installation and I'm not sure what credit for annual production is. In NY net metering is over a year. The excess I create in the high production months gives me KW credits that I use up during the low production months. I have only once ended up with a...

I went out at removed the blower from my tractor and hoping I will not regret it. But I have it where I can get to it if I really need to. They are predicting snow on Saturday, but nothing that's going to stick. I generally do not remove the blower until I'm ready to put the mower deck on in...

I don't have wind turbines, but I looked into them some time ago before I looked into solar. They did not seem to be a good decision economically. What I learned then, must be 15 year ago now, what they they would never pay for themselves. Before they paid for themselves they would need to be...

The price included a PTO shaft cut to the right size for my setup, no quick hitch, and nothing for delivering it.

Went down to the dealer today an bought a barely used Woods 48.30 tiller. Will be delivered in a week or two. I told them no hurry. Will be here in plenty of time to get the garden ready.

Went down to the dealer today. They had a barely used 48.30 in Massey red, 30% off the new price. Looked like new except for the a light dirt film on the tines. They're gonna check it out and deliver in a week or so.

Yes, lots of careful bucket work. I tried to use the blower but after a minute of blowing stone I gave up on that.

Just got in, total was maybe 6 inches here. My driveway is now a wet, muddy, sloppy mess. Not supposed to be moving snow during mud season.

I've got 3 or 4 and it's still falling. Everyone was able to get out so waiting till this afternoon to go out and move it when it's mostly over.
