I have a lot of hills too steep for tractors to spread fertilizer evenly. I also reseed several acres a year as well as food plots and a new yard this spring. I used a atv spreader to sow 10 acres of clover a few years ago with great results. Really nice controls and make up. I think the...

I spent sunday afternoon trying to start my honda foreman. Come to find out it was just the sparkplug that finally decided to go out. It was original equipment and was still giving fire. I guess after 5.5 years there just comes a time. BTW I learned alot about the atv. I especially like the...

Who makes a pretty good garden tiller? If you were buying what features would you look for? Not a huge garden but about 40 x100. Patrick

I had the lift lever working pretty stiff back in the fall so I gave it a shot of wd. Worked slick until it froze and almost broke it off. Blamed it on junk tractor most wd40. Below 20 again and froze. Must be the spray. Question, can anyone reccomend a spray to use during times like these? A...

Drove to the other end of the farm the other morning before work. I met my herd in the road. Apparently someone thought I really didn't need one of my gates any more. I wired the space up and checked some of the other gates. I had lost one two years ago and when I put in some new gates I had...

My Uncle gave me a lincoln AC stick welder. My brother inlaw dragged in some 8/3 SO wire. I thought about running about 5 ft. from the breaker box in the barn using the 8/3 and installing a plug and using the remaining 50 ft as a movable line with a male and a female end. That way I could have...

I bought a Husky 350 last wood season when my old homelite played out. I noticed I had problems starting it when I was flooring a bridge in the early summer. I was trying to cut up some telephone poles for fence posts a week ago and the thing wouldn't start. It rained out the fencing project...

I saw that there was an mention of this a few years ago and I would like to check with all the members here now. I began replacing the floor on my 16 ft. tagalong. I sprayed it off (the metal frame) and knocked off the loose rust. I had ordered a quart of gemplers rust converter back in the...

A little late in the year to be thinking about for any use but are wood ashes a base or an acid. I suspect that they are an acid. What are people using these for? If an acid would they be good for the blue berry bushes? What about ph after burning brush piles? Just something I was thinking...

I seem to have misplaced my axe and am in need of a replacement. Can anyone recommend a brand of a good double bit axe that can be actually sharpened? Patrick

What we thought was a condenser on a 2000 ford, ended up being a blocked fuel line. Drained the tank and found a tablespoon full of red crud and a roofing nail. Any way I tried out my new Mr. Filter on some fresh gas and again found some red residue in the bottom. I was shocked and began to...

I just started up my 5410 tonight after a 2 month rest, since I have been using the 4 and 2000 fords to feed with. Turned on the lights and the left side of the flasher on the rops wasn't working. Where do I need to start looking. My guess is possibly the bulb since the assembly was sort of...

After checking out last summer's posts and since I had a few things to order anyway I picked up one to the filter funnels from gemplers. Question, I ordered the 8.5 in size, how fast will the fuel pass through compared to a regular funnel with brass screen? Question#2, how well have they held up...

It has come to my attention that I need to buy a pressure washer by spring. Altough I hate to buy more toys I guess I'll give in Kind of reminds me of the fox and the briar patch. I would like to spend about 400 bucks on a gas model but I'm not sure of the quality. I'll probably use it to spray...

what\'s a good truck tire? I have just spent the day looking for a good tire to put on my little f-150. Since I drive 2 miles a day to work round trip to work and approx. another 2 around the farm I was looking for a pretty aggressive treaded 16 inch tire. Also since I abuse the thing because I...
