    Where do you buy tires? What brands to avoid.

    I dont think you can even get the old style anymore. What ticks me off is there is no depiction of the new tire on the site. They still picture the old style! Not what you get.

    New/old box blade

    Thanks. Yea I was thrown off by how high the flap sits off the ground. I looked around google for a similar feature on a boxblade but havnt seen any quite like that.

    New/old box blade

    Hi, I bought this old box blade. It has two fixed blades but also a flap on the very back. Can anyone tell me what the flap is for? Seems different than most hinged blades iv seen. Plus it already has a rear fixed blade. Thanks

    12x16 shed I built, and subsequently moved 300+' down my driveway. It's good to have a tractor.

    An old rusty 6 1/2' truck plow I painted and rigged to a 3pt. A frame. Realy easy and works well minus the crick in the neck.
