    Electrical question - temporary fix - DIY ?

    Galvalume roof = ugly (Any options?)

    Yesterday I saw my new barn from the sky for the 1st time. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Lots of nice farms, fields, trees and then my bright shiny silver ufo. Can you say ugly!!

    Land Pride RTR 2570 - 70hp tractor (question)

    If I hook up an RTR2570 to an M7040 - what will happen? The RTR2570 is recommended for smaller tractors - but what would happen if a larger tractor was used to run it? :confused: Thank you

    Concrete floor sealant (Recommendation needed)

    I've used the search function but was unsuccessful. Anyone have familiarity (good, bad or indifferent) with concrete floor sealers? Is there one that stands out and is considered the best? Any recommendations? Are there any that are a complete waste of money? We are thinking we'd want to go...
