Hi TBN! I admittedly did not know a lot about building a road when I started clearing and getting ready for the shop build a long time ago. So now that we actually have the house built (for about a year now) I was hoping to get it in a lot better shape for the winter. The driveway (road) is...

Yes, I know. Very old thread to reply to but I wanted to post an update. We got our house built and moved in November of 2016. Still have a good number of things to do there (finishing items) but they are getting knocked out slowly. Also, just got a lift installed in the garage! Went with a...

I "think" I am a very good searcher on the internet. But, I CANNOT find this. I have a 1996 Bobcat 753. It was overheating today and I discovered the belt that drives the blower fan was worn out and laying in the bottom of the engine compartment. Does anyone have the specs of this belt? Is...

mojoinco- Thanks for the idea. This was a large chunk of land that was split up and sold. Mine was the largest tract. I am back behind everyone with my 1100' entrance. All of the other tracts are up on the road where they can just connect to electric easily. What I am trying to say is, there is...

I am a new member. Have been looking around finding great information on this site for a while now. So to start with, hello everybody! My wife and I were looking for a home with acreage where we grew up and currently live, Mt. Juliet, TN. We looked for a while but could not find anything we...
