    Finding power lines

    Same here. Had an old fellow tell me to try a couple of pieces of coat hanger bent into an L shape. Worked perfectly. Found the line going from the house to the barns, lines going from outdoor wood boiler to the house and the propane line from the tank to the house. I was amazed how well it worked.

    Cool Or Creepy Things Found In The Bush Or On Your Property

    I’ve found a few interesting things in the woods. Once I came across a spring bubbling out of the side of a hill way back in some woods. I sat down to take a break and for some reason I started to clear the accumulated junk out of the spring and ended up finding an old milk glass cup buried in...

    Status of Everything Attachments

    With all the credit card companies that took a hit by having to refund folks money you would think they wouldn’t allow you to use their credit cards to buy from EA again.

    Flail mower use

    Not an answer to your question about using the flail mower as you described, but I had the exact same situation with multiflora rose and rocks along my fields. I used my root rake grapple to clear the field edges and was very impressed with how good of a job it did. Opened the grapple, dropped...

    What Caused This Wood Deck Failure?

    Interesting thread as I just had a deck built and the builder enclosed it with non vented mobile home skirting. Now I’m thinking I need to redo the skirting. For any of you that actually have knowledge about deck ventilation would using vented skirting offer enough ventilation? The skirting is...

    Oak Tree Blight of Some Form??

    I was under the impression that some oaks, such as reds, can have a high mortality rate when infected with oak wilt.

    Grapple choices

    I’ve had a Land Pride SGC1072 for my MX5400. I bought it about a year and a half ago and it has served me well. I have used it for clearing brush, moving logs and big rocks. I am really impressed on how good it works at all the things I have done with it. The work it saved me when clearing multi...

    What to Look for in Zero Turn Mower

    One feature I wish I on my zero turn is a flip up deck. I have never had one with the feature but they look pretty slick for easy deck cleaning and blade access.

    Long term planning of selling your home?

    The way the market is in our area, I would be hesitant to spend any money to update before a sale. Even with interest rates as high as they are, there is still more demand than available places for sale. Unless you are way out of line on the asking price houses don’t seem to be on the market...

    Piranha or Piranha Pro for CK2610?

    I recently purchased the Piranha Pro for my MX5400. I was also leery of being off on my measurements since there is no returning it. I’m not sure how many times I remeasured the holes but it was quite a few. In the end it bolted up perfectly.

    Why don’t you own a toothbar?

    Not sure if this is the style of tooth bar you would want, and not cheap by any means, but you can order this to fit your existing holes. https://www.bxpanded.com/piranhapro

    Grappling fun - A Picture Thread....

    Nice picture, makes me question my purchase of my root rake grapple! My root rake style does a fantastic job, and makes quick work of clearing brush encroaching on the field edges and around fruit trees but I do wish I could hold more when gathering logs for fire wood. Have you used yours to...

    Ford Tractor photo thread, lets start one!

    I believe the gentleman I purchased it from was also a member of an antique tractor group. I’m sure some are purists and want everything 100% original, which I get. Because I use my tractors, I will go with function over form. Like I said in dusty conditions the air cleaner did actually collect...
