OK... Neighbor want's to re-seed a horse pasture. I have the means to do such. NORMALLY when I do a pasture seeding, I ask the owners to furnish their own seed, or to at minimum, spec what they want. (Liability issue....) No such luck with Tom.... He's kinda "not real up on the subject". Now...

Had to share this with everyone. (And yes, I SHOULD have taken pictures.) We were finishing up a new lawn install this afternoon. One area was to be tilled a few inches deep to "mix" the soil. We were down to that point, then seed and straw the area, and go home! I arrive on the jobsite just...

That's all you need to know in order to be a sod layer! And let me asure you, It's not even that complicated. But is it ever hard work..... We lay it with a machine. (And yes, I did forget to take a picture of that machine) Still, lots of hard work. This is a load of Zoysia, being laid down...

The last 3 weeks has been like Christmas! First a deal on a 3-point back-hoe. Got a major bargain on a 'Dozer at the same time. Someone gave me an old John Deere 430 2 cylinder last week. (It belonged to a friend of my father) We made an offer on a farm I've had my eye on, and found out friday...

ENOUGH! My head hurts! The very place I go to get away from petty politics, inuendo, insults, and hostility, has become the wiegh station for such.... It seems that a few people want to discuss "what's wrong with TBN"...... Well, currently, it's the discussion on what's wrong with TBN.... GIVE...

Yesterday I was approached about mowing 59 acres near the house. It belongs to an estate at the moment. The owner passed away about 6 months back. He had his own tractors and equipment. His son carted all of that off when he found out his sister was executor of the estate. She is trying to get...

I need a deal on LOTS of bacon and lettuce!!!!!

Where\'s my grass skirt????? Here's a couple pictures of a Tiki Bar I just completed building at work. There's over 1000lbs worth of treated lumber in that baby! It's on casters, but takes 3 grown men and a horse to move it. It breaks into 3 sections for easy storage. Now how's about that...

I'm quite sure I've read this on here before, but let's re-hash old territory, and maybe open up a few NEW thoughts... Who uses, and WHAT do you use for hearing protection while running your tractor? I spent 8 hours bush hogging yesterday afternoon/last night. In the past, I tried to "tough...

\'Nuther New Playtoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just left the "ISCO" warehouse in Clarksville, Indiana. They're a distributor for Buehler among other products. I picked up my latest "toy". I bought (through Ken Sweet/Sweet Farm Equipment) a 7' Ferguson "Yardmaker" seeder aerifier/roller. I'll post a...

My mind\'s in the gutter..... Or curb.... I'm just starting to take bids on 3200 Ln. Ft. of "Decorative continuous curbing" here at work. (Surrounding a couple landscape areas adjoining a parking lot) Any words of wisdom from someone with prior experience? "Best guess" price per foot that...

Come on clock!!!!!!!!!! Get a move on it! I leave work in 1 hour. Then it's BIG fun! A good friend of mine always puts out a big garden. I usually plow it for him. This year I didn't hear from him. I ALMOST called yesterday to see if everything is OK. Turns out it's MORE than OK. He...

I got tired of looking at the 5 gallon buckets holding up my latest planter.... Before the fertilizer attachment gets installed, I HAD to make some "jackstands"... Take a look!

I was just discussing (with an employee of mine) all the "jobs" we've had over the years. Some were intersesting, some were enjoyable.... and some were not. What all have you done, and what was/is your favorite? I'll go first! 1. Farmer/son of farmer. Grew up on a dairy farm. (I HATE milk to...

I just finished assembly of yet ANOTHER 2-row planter. This one is mounted on a 4"X4" toolbar. It will work from 22" to 44" row width. This is my latest version. There will be 5 MORE 2-row planters like this one. (Built from a 12 row planter) Here's a few pictures!
