    Cleaning Under Zero-Turn Deck After Every Session: Really Necessary?

    Somebody teach me the right way.... I have the same mower and use the crank the same way he did. I'M MAKING A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF AND I CAN'T HELP IT!!! My wife is apparently aware of me making a fool of my self and not knowing it... but I'm not sure the mower is the reason for that...

    Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

    We had one set off our ring doorbell this week. I guess it thought we needed to fill up it's feeders?

    My Backhoe needs and engine rebuild

    Not sure if yours has a turbo or not, but I ran a dozer that started smoking white really bad. Turns out the turbo was in the process of failing. New turbo and no more smoke. But it was also leaking oil into the breather so the oil level was dropping not rising.

    atv/utv working machines picture thread

    What is it though? Deer legs, caribou face, I'm at a loss.

    What do you have for a first aid/trauma kit?

    At the house we keep the regular bandaids, antibiotic ointment, allergy meds, epi pen, pain relivers, etc. But I really don't keep anything on me specifically for injuries in the field. The caveat is on week long camping/ hunting trips out in the national forest far away from civilization I do...

    Barndominium/Shop or "real" House?

    Ark Arkansas really is a pretty place. We aren't "The Natural State" for nothing.

    Hay Making on a Different Scale

    I feel like I see more horses around here that look like they have been forgotten about than I do fancy ones. There is a field a mile or two from my house that I can't remember ever having been cut, it's full of tall trash weeds, junk trees, and a couple of horses just hanging out in it. Been...

    Barndominium/Shop or "real" House?

    This has not been my experience at all. I have had it in my house for a little over a year and a half with no stains whatsoever. My sister has had hers for 15 years with no sealer, other than what was put on it when it was installed and hers looks like the day she got it as well. She also raised...

    Barndominium/Shop or "real" House?

    My island is just 2 sets of cabinets back to back with finished side panels that span both sets. I don't see a need for 2x4 framing inside them. Standard depth cabinets on both sides of the range and a run of shallow ones behind. You could just notch the bottom of the cabinet behind the range.

    Anyone else have an unusually large number of hummingbirds this year?

    I have a new problem at my house. For some reason every time I open my shop door I get at least 3 humming birds in the shop. The only way I can get them to leave is to leave the big door open and hang a feeder from it. I have no idea why they started going in there. It has not been a problem in...

    Camp property search

    The write up and pictures sure make it look nice. I chuckled at this one though. Is that person looking through the binoculars backwards?

    The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

    How high do you cut when field mowing? Is it site specific?

    Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

    It may have been plenty secure the way you have it, I'm just going by looks. Also, strap angles are not super clear from the picture. I would have tried to put more angle on the straps, in the direction that the load naturally wants to move. On the trailer I would have pulled front to back as...
