I would not leave a block heater plugged in all the time. I don't use block heaters anymore. I "trick" my tractor into thinking it is Summertime instead. I have a small, propane rocket heater that I slip behind the tractor and turn it on. The hot air goes under the tractor. The tractor is in my...

Try this: Put up some fence posts....they don't have to be heavy duty....4 foot electric fence posts will work. Then take an old 1/2 inch VCR tape and string it from post to post. The tape is mylar (I think) and will twist and turn with every breeze. It will reflect light and vibrate making...

I offered someone a job at $17/hr helping me get things done around my farm. He needs the money as he can't pay his bills. He doesn't have a job and I could use some help around the farm doing odd jobs like mowing my 9 acres, helping me clean out the greenhouses, hold up the other end of a 2x4...

I long or the GOOD TIMES of the 1950's/1960's...we had ethics..values...sex and violence on TV were less...we got to watch the Mickey Mouse club and we believed the Superman was right fighting fo TRUTH, JUSTICE and the AMERICAN WAY. Today's world is a far shot from what good ole America used to...

Condensation almost never happens in a buried pipe that has UF cable in it as long as it is sealed at both ends.....I'm talking from real experience. Also, the conduit provides extra protection from rocks and varmits..

First, it does not look like what you have is Underground Feeder wire. Next, I ran hundreds of feet of UF cable inside conduit with no problem in my barn. I ran 300' of 12-2 UF cable inside of 2in black plastic pipe with no problem....it's been 25 years....works good. So...if the problem is...

They have a real frame. I mow 7 acres of my hay field with my Cub Cadet Zero Turn....ZT2 54" Bought at Home Depot paid $4143.74 sept 2020 I love it. I used to mow with a 4' brush cutter and two john deere L180 mowers....this is much faster....very happy with the money I spent....just...
