    Tractor Shopping

    I looked at the Kioti 2610 and the Branson 2515. Both offered good package deal pricing which was partly factory incentives for the tractor/loader and partly discounts on attachments I wanted. Neither was particularly close to me both being 1 hour drives. When I asked the the Kioti dealer...

    Gardens for 2021 season

    "Only two things that money can't buy True love and home grown tomatoes" - Guy Clark I scored some 6' tall chain link fence we demoed from a jobsite I'm currently installing around our garden. Hope it will keep the deer out but may need to put a hotwire around the top for the racoons.

    Kit outbuildings for your vehicle storage

    When we bought or place it had a nice 30x60 slab about 100' from the back of the house. I saw it as halfway to a barn. We looked at kit barns which we have done in the past but didn't want to spend that kind of money. We then looked at metal buildings and ended up with this for half the cost...

    Pallets in fields

    @treborterb As a fellow newbie I hope you have learned your lesson. They have only begun to show you the error of your ways. Besides, your proposal doesn't even begin to address the scat.

    Tractor Shopping

    When we bought our 5 acre place two years ago the back half was well overgrown with cedars, oaks, elms and brush. I hired a local guy who came with a skid steer and a grapple. He surgically ripped out the cedars and the brush without touching the hardwoods in 2 days. He piled them in two...

    Tractor Shopping

    Ok. I'm trying to understand how this works. Hydraulics from rear remotes? Controlled with a lever. So one hand on the wheel, one hand on the joystick and my third hand on the lever?

    Tractor Shopping

    Agree. My grapple would not be near as useful if I couldn't tilt it once I lifted it.

    Tractor Shopping

    Last year when I was shopping I looked at Kubota, Kioti and Mahindra. I was sold on the Kioti because it looked like a better value but after a month of trying they could not tell me when it would be available. I went an looked at the Branson 2515 and was impressed. I liked the joystick on the...

    Question on sexual harassment training

    Yes, we long for the good old days when we didn't have to be told what was wrong with our thinking. Except those days weren't so good for those who were being discriminated against. Every day. All day. By many different people. From the beginning of their lives. Just because of the color...

    How many tractors in your neighborhood?

    @GeneV Not really sure. The HOA rules were set up 25 years ago so maybe the attitudes were different then. Noise is the only thing I can think of. I've never raised pigs so don't know how loud they are. A rooster can be annoying as hell in the wrong environment. A rooster that's not yours...

    How many tractors in your neighborhood?

    Our neighborhood is a 25 year old development that was set up as "equestrian friendly" with 4 - 6 acre lots. We are allowed horses, cows, sheep and goats. No pigs or chickens, which is curious since chickens are allowed in some parts of Austin now. There are about 250 homes in the...
