    Easements

    Not really true. Recorded easements are listed as “exceptions to title” meaning that title insurance will not insure against them, but they do give you notice that they exist in your title insurance commitment. If the title insurance company fails to identify a recorded easement, you can file a...

    Now able to move tractor from backhoe position. Push Button, 3D Parts, Should have come from the factory this way.

    Really cool, but I also always have the brake on and bucket down. Don’t you just end up pulling/pushing yourself all over the place if you don’t have the brake on and bucket down?

    I suck: Mice!

    Cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil, then placed inside of a water bottle, stab the water bottle a few times with a knife. Then I hang the water bottles from various areas inside the engine compartment. Seems to work very well and lasts for a whole winter (I also use this method on my boat...

    water drill

    I’ve seen another method with steel pipe and a sledge hammer. That’s basically how the guy I hired did mine, except he had this cool hydraulic rig. Much less effort.

    Big Barn’s Retirement Farm Shop

    Awesome! I’ll definitely be trying my hand at restoring the next rusty tool I see at a garage sale. Amazing the transformation from just WD-40.

    Can you walk us through your process for restoring something like a vice? I’m always amazed at your ability to turn junk into beautiful, functional tools.

    Bx or B

    I was going to say that I’m at 6620’ and run in high all the time. Then I realize you are a couple hours north of me at 8,000’+. That’s definitely a big difference. Hope you’re ready for the snow. Looks like your area might get the worst of it. Good luck!

    Rear Remotes Installed on Kubota BX25D - Video

    Wow great job!! I was just checking in on Dragonegg’s project and you beat him to it! I just skimmed the video for now, but did you come up with a permanent mount or is it just sitting there for now? Will definitely be watching this video numerous times. I could add up the costs in the video...

    BX25D rear remotes?

    Ditto!! Sometimes Mark just needs some pestering... errr, I mean, positive encouragement! Seriously though, fitrite should be paying you once you finally get this thing completed. I would have ordered the parts long ago, but Fitrite doesn’t sell “kits” and that’s a lot of money to spend to...

    DIY Tractor implement dolly heavy duty 2400lbs

    Man... 20 mins of watching you build a pallet with wheels. I have to agree that pictures would have been sufficient on this one. I personally would have built the base with double-stacked overlapping lumber—no idea what this method is called but it definitely creates a stronger foundation.

    Smart Shop tips!

    Hemmed and hawed over whether French cleats were worth it. Initially did a small 32” test section and decided to take the plunge. As I’m finishing out my shop on my own and I’m more of a quick starter than a planner, I really like the versatility of being able to get stuff off the floor right...

    Smart Shop tips!

    I came up with this yesterday. I seem to always be looking for a tape measure. Shop is still under construction so tools don’t have permanent homes yet. I put 5 of these picture frame hangers around my shop. Bent them out slightly and used longer nails than what came in the packaging. Now tape...
