So very thankful to have USAA.

Also I would try and experiment away from your truck if you do. If the loader fails on the way out your tailgate is going to get trashed.

Good Works Tractors was selling them for awhile...I havent see a video from them on Summit since Nov. You might reach out to them on their website and see if they are still in contact with Summit? https://www.goodworkstractors.com/

No help but thought the ad was appropriate LOL.

You want 4WD. Hay baler = HP. Think small square bales for horses at most In this HP range. For the dirt work, weight matters not HP. For the road it depends on how compacted it is. You can help by trying to grade it after a light rain when it’s a bit softened up. You can always drag...

In the spring it's all out war for me. I have multiple traps, baits...have found the best thing is to kill as many as possible....I keep everything in sealed spaces as much as I can. Exhaust pipes if not vertical and high are covered with wire mesh. They are relentless. I also have packrats...

IRS typically works in years, not days. Be patient.

Repair it, sell it. Something is wrong. "not in their database of issues" is just a nice way of saying they dont know what is wrong and they arent going to cover it.

Nah PTO blower on a decent HP tractor will chew threw anything. We got 4 ft of heavy wet stuff....its no problem. You just have to go a bit slower. I have a 60 HP tractor operating at 9000 ft. Where ever you choose to move, just make sure it isn't really windy in the Winter. That makes open...

As you said you answered it for yourself. Get a cab machine. About the only people that dont have one are those that have open station and have never had a cab machine...especially if you have 1 tractor. Dust, debris, insects, hot, cold, rain, wind....they all mean nothing in a cab. Open...

Or if you work in a high wind/rain area, or if you work around lots of dust, or lots of insects, or have any type of respiratory issues....there are other reasons. I do understand the better accessibilty you get with no cab....it really is nice. That said ther are lots of scenarios where cab...

If the trees are missing crowns they wont really grow the same. I would cut them down to make room for the full trees.

Is the tree dead or just a few branches? Most likely the answer is cut the entire tree if dead, if not then hire an arborist. If the tree is really far away from anything valuable and you ahve hundreds of feet of rope to get you out of the danger zone..maybe. Putting tension on a limb and...
