    Neighbors - Do you have control of your dogs? Time for a posse...

    Darn pack of Dogs are wandering the neighborhood, killing chickens, Goats, and everything else they can get to. I saw one of them at 5 am coming out of my mini's stalls (they were thankfully in a secure pasture) and just couldn't get a bead on it quick enough. This has been going on about two...

    Turned 1000 hours - then crunch...

    I just turned 1000 hours on my DK45 HST and.... I hear (and feel) crunching noises from my left front wheel. I popped it out of 4 wheel drive, jump off and look. The wheel was covered in hydraulic fluid running down the inside of the wheel. My best guess is the seal, and wheel bearing went...

    Sporatic PTO issue

    My PTO has a mind of it's own when it comes to turning on. I have changed the switches (Manual/Auto and PTO off/on), sprayed Fluid Film on everything, swapped out the fuse under the panel, and I think my Hydraulic fluid is full. The reason I say think is it is hard for me to be sure with the...

    Odd starting (or running) Problem

    My DK45HST has developed a strange problem. Occasionally, it will start and immediately stop running. If I turn off the key, then restart it, it will eventually start. So far, once it does eventually start, and does not stop running. I have replaced the ignition previously, and did find the...

    What makes a service bulletin different than a recall?

    I've replaced headlights in my Ram 3 times in the past two months (same one twice) and finally figured out that it was a wiring issue when I got hacked off and smacked the headlight and it came back on. The mechanic who happened to hear me complaining about that and a few other items, said that...

    We love our grass in Fort McCoy!

    No, not that type. I had Southern States come out and fertilize/seed about 8.5 acres in late June. After about 6 weeks of decent rain, the pasture went from bare to there. I think I'm gonna over-seed it with Rye grass in September. Any thoughts?

    Do Rabbits dig holes?

    I got something digging small holes everywhere. The holes are various sizes, the largest are 3-4 inches deep and conical in shape. Here is a picture, but I don't know if it is detailed enough to help.

    Boy, the 'Skitters are back with a vengance

    The inside of my barn is Mosquito central. I've put a bug zapper in there, but think I need something else or something to attract them to it. Anybody have any suggestions?

    Man Lift ideas

    Has anybody made a man-lift out of pallets that attaches to Pallet forks? I guess I may be risking the wrath of the Safety Police, but I need something to get up and trim tree branches. Im not a welder, so working with wood is better for me.

    What's your opinion?

    I had both of the corners on my grapple bend into a "J" shape when a person I hired was picking up tree debris with the tractor. I don't believe he did anything to cause the issue, and my only reason for mentioning him is he "knew" a local welder who would bend them straight and add a support...
