There is a 150 foot section on my mile long gravel driveway that does not have adequate drainage. Sooo.... it's muddy every spring. I could construct adequate drainage but it would require re-contouring the edge of one of the neighbors fields. I'd rather not listen to his bellyaching. It...

Couple things I've noticed around here. Not much talk about GMO products anymore. It finally soaked in - the human race is GMO. And now the big thing is "ORGANIC". Gotta have some clever advertising twist to keep those folks happy. I don't know of anybody that feeds corn around here...

Whether it's engine oil or hydraulic oil - it's much easier to use a funnel on my M6040. I have a metal funnel with two foot flex spout. I wire it up to the FEL or top link so I don't have to hold it. It takes 16+ gallons of hydraulic oil. Soooo..... pour until tired - rest a spell -...

If you have a rear blade, winterdeer, reverse the blade 180 degrees and plow that way. This DEFINITELY will not damage the asphalt. I do it this way if the driveway is still soft and I really need to clear snow.

"Are those bolts or rebar". They are large spikes( nails ). I pre-drilled small diameter holes - clear thru the timbers - and used Gorilla glue to hold the spikes in place. I'm really surprised. The entire thing has lasted over six years and no repairs needed. Flop it on one side - its...

Sure is a nice looking tractor. An interesting piece of equipment.

I live in SW Spokane county. Hard to understand why they will not plow your county road. Must be that your property taxes aren't high enough. Based upon the property taxes on my 80 - the county road should be gold plated. I plow a short bit of our county road - access for the mailman...

No hogs here - just lots of pocket gophers. I made a 4' x 4' wooden drag for behind my ATV. I also reverse my rear blade behind my tractor. This is my drag......

Thank you. And to all - Happy Thanksgiving from EA WA state.

My Kubota M6040 has a Hydraulic Shuttle transmission and eight forward speeds. It's a geared tractor. If I can not find one gear that will allow me to climb a hill - I best not be there. To the OP - you have the gears.....use them.

No permits nor approvals needed here. Just common sense..... I wait until I have a foot of snow on the ground before setting off my burn pile. Wildfires are just all too common in this neck of the woods.

I know exactly how you feel - FallingGirl. For twenty years we lived in a neighborhood with one acre lots. Nothing I could ever do on my lot was not under observation from one or more of my neighbors. We moved down from Alaska in 1982. The property is 80 acres and is set in one mile off...

That begs the question. Are the FEL arms tweaked or has the FEL been attached to the tractor incorrectly.

There was a young family that tried to make a go of it - just across the county road from my driveway. For whatever reason - they are selling their property. They did not have a tractor. Most everybody that I know and talk to - within a five mile radius - has some form of tractor. Our...

Somebody has a friend. Guess who gave the baby his snacks..........
