Yes - I agree. My results are inspirational - even to me. Sure glad of this. I'd like to say - "all of this has been fun and easy". IT HAS NOT. However- the results I've obtained keep me on track and going.

MY overall condition continues to improve. The Feb fall and spinal injury improvements are SLOW but - now I get around without my walker or cane. I do carry my cane out on the property. Pocket gopher holes, rocks, soft spots and all. I also carry my cell phone(neighbor insists) in case I...

I've been thinning/chipping my stands of pines for over 35 years now. Currently I have a Wallenstein BX62S mounted on my Kubota M6040. I've got 80 acres of Ponderosa pines. Concerns regarding wildfires is why I chip. I chip up to and including six inch butt cut pines. I chip them in the...

First - mow the field. Then use the implements you have - see how they work. If more is needed - I would recommend a rototiller.

I, like many, have had difficulties with hard ground. I mow the grass as low as possible. Then either burn or hit with a weed killer. Then start my many passes - to get the ground tilled. Its best to do all this in the late fall when the weeds are all done blooming.

I have a Wally - bx62S. It's a manual feed. The blades grab onto the trees and pull/feed faster than you would believe. It does this so very fast - it will scare new comers. New folks will come out here to help. I always have to warn them - so they won't get scared. I think hydraulic...

I live in NE Wa state. 25 miles SW of Spokane. Almost 100% of our fires are wildfires and are wind driven. Back, many years ago, I created a fire break with my rototiller. I have 80 acres and this firebreak was 12 feet wide and just around my house and out buildings. About 850 feet if...

First - I've yet to use my tractor at night in the sixteen years of ownership. The night, around here, primarily belongs to the night critters and I can easily live with that. However - my grill guard does not seem to restrict the headlights that much.

The local Kubota dealer installed my grapple and WR Long third function equipment nine years ago. I've never taken this grapple off. Almost everything I do with the tractor involves some use of the grapple. You have made an excellent choice.

Last year was my final year for riding. I'm just a lot more comfortable on four wheels. Biggest concern I've ever had - sand at highway intersections. I would ride before the highway depts would brush the sand off the intersections. Just gotta be very careful.

I woke up to the sound of my baseboard heaters chirping and popping. It was minus six. Brownie has been the only one to venture outside today.

Well - over the last four days I've got inch and a half of snow. About an inch remains because of our COLD weather. I got a couple frozen puddles on the driveway. Nothing more......

Around here a child NEVER, NEVER goes outside without an adult. I live in open range land and the coyotes are always on the prowl.

Right now - I wish for my son - a full recovery. He had a heart attack last week and is in recovery.

I hate to have to tell you this. For 25+ years I cleaned snow off my mile long gravel driveway, mailbox area and yard with a 3-point blower. Average snow took four hours to clear everything. I tried - at least - three different rear view mirrors at many different attachment points. None...
