I bought into Lowe's 24V battery line of brushless tools when they came out. Later I bought the 24V chainsaw and I was very pleased. Perfect for clearing small trees out of the fence line and limbing. I have an assortment of gas chainsaws and use them as needed but the little Kobalt is always in...

This worked for me one time. Cut the tree down leaving a 5 foot or so stump. Tie a chain around the stump near the top. Hook up to a 4WD tractor or truck and pull. The leverage of the tall stump will pull the roots up. Not elegant, but low cost!

I got a set of cheapo bolt ons for my tractor buckets. I mainly use them to roll stuff back to the bucket that normally is hard to pick up without getting off the tractor and pushing and shoving. I think they would work OK for a pallet but I would not want to push it. They only cost $158...

I bought some bolt on hooks from Amazon. They come with reinforcing plates and bolts. I am currently deciding where to locate them on the tractor bucket. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T5TYHKH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I pump a 50/50 mix of antifreeze through the sprayers. Equipment with gearboxes that stay outside get a bucket or lick tub over the gearboxes. I like to pressure wash equipment that stays in the shed or barn after the last use.

My old Ford 641 does not have live power. Without an overrunning clutch you will find yourself pushed through a fence when using a rotary cutter, or even worse, over a cliff.

I would try to put the square end of a 1/4 inch drive socket on the drain plug. The bigger the socket size the better, 1/2 inch maybe. Then put a bolt in the socket with a couple jam nuts on it and see if you can turn it with a wrench or another socket.

I accumulate a 10 ft high burn pile about twice a year. I like to light it after a good rain or even better after it snows.

I really like these new fangled battery leaf blowers. I use mine to blow clippings off the mower and tractor before I leave the field. Piled up clippings will rot out a mower in just a few seasons.

The blades on my 5 foot Woods got in terrible shape so I got replacement blades at TSC and installed them. Afterwards the mower was shaking so bad the tractor fenders were rattling. I tried to figure out what I did wrong. I thought the blades might be sticking at the bolt end and cleaned that up...

I am not sure it is a good idea to shut off the fuel supply to a running diesel engine. At a minimum you are probably going to have to bleed the injector lines to get the engine running again. I like the brake pedal down, high gear, idle and pop the clutch idea best I think. My small tractor has...

I bought the cheapest one I could find. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018XFZUA8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Even this cheap one works good and it saves a lot of oxy-acetylene which is getting expensive around here.

A long rake tooth sticking straight out from the bottom of the mower might work to "peel" off the long blades of fescue that always grow over the bottom barb wire.

I have all the different types of sprayer setups in this post that I use on the farm. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. One thing I would like to add is about sprayer maintenance. After each use I always rinse with water and run the water through the pump and nozzles. For outside...
