The pond will not have a liner, and I will not use it for swimming, but I will fish in it. The pond area and the watershed are not in the pastures. I plan on using an electric fence to keep the goats in the area around the pond. Too many times, I have seen ponds where the edges are overgrown...

I am looking to build a pond. The back side of the pond will be shallow and cover a large grassed in area. All of that said. I want to keep the edge of the pond clean. Has anyone ever used this method? What are the downsides to using goats to keep the edges of a pond clean

Be careful. I sustained a life-changing injury while cutting a tree from top to bottom. I have cut hundreds of trees and thought nothing of climbing a tree and removing limbs from it. I had a limb kickback and it took me out of the tree; I broke my back and fractured 9 ribs. Reflecting on my...

Start by talking to your neighbor; you will then know if his insurance will cover you or if will pay for your damages. If the conversation turns negative then speak with a lawyer. Good Luck

Are you saying the vines are 3 to 4 inches thick? A standard baseball bat is less than 3 inches in diameter.

Explained very well.

You are correct. I meant UTV not ATV.

I have recently injured my legs. I am interested in a UTV similar to a Polaris Ranger (seating for 2 or more, with a bed on the back and 4WD). I need something that is completely hand-controlled. I have never owned an UTV but now I need one to get around the farm. I have edited the post to...

Thank you for the link.

I am interested in the Leveling Box Lift Link. The pic I attached is of a Leveling Box Lift Link...I think. Will you send me a Hyperlink or picture of the Leveling Box link.

I am thinking of buying a box scrape. If I want to create a slope with the box it will be necessary to raise one side of the box scrape. That being said, I saw a "Leveling Box Lift Link 3 Point Hitch ". How does it work? I assume it is easier than using the threaded side lift arms, is it?

I have a new one: I had my 2nd story deck replaced. I put a deck dry system in. The system keeps the pad under the deck dry, similar to a carport. It is great to work on small equipment and to park lawn equipment. I keep a riding lawnmower under the deck instead of the shop.

The 1/4 inch 35ft chain will work. Per the HF website, it is only a little over 20lbs which is light enough to handle. Thank you for the advice.

I want a wire rope assembly with a thimble already crimped into the ends. I am looking for a 3/8in 50ft wire rope I can use to pull trees over or logs out of the pasture. Any recommendations where I can buy it?

Well said. Tractors are a bad investment to buy and hold and then sell. There is too much uncertainty to make them an investment. f you have a use for a tractor buy it. If you are looking to make a speculative investment buy a mutual fund.
