Finally picked up a couple of their trunk organizers a little while back and they are great! Just the right size for the back of the Jeep. Harbor Freight Trunk Organizer

Is this what it looks like? Hopefully less abused.

My new rake showed up at the freight depot in Albuquerque on Saturday and yesterday we made the 5 hour round trip drive to pick it up. Here it is on the trailer. I guess it started out well wrapped with black plastic but by the time it made ABQ there were just a couple tatters hanging on to...

Because I find myself posting bits of this info in other threads somewhat frequently I thought I would post it all together in a hopefully more coherent manner and will just reference this post/thread in the future. Background A few years ago we bought some property out in the sticks here in...

This is not the ability to slide rear blades left/right where they mount but is similar. Some landscape rakes and back/rear/scrape blades have an offset function that makes use of a pivot at the front of the main beam(?) at the 3pt end. This allows the user to really get the rake or blade way...

So I have a Land Pride LR1572 that I have been using but there are times when it doesn't do what I want it to do. This could be just in the way I am using it however. I use it for two things. Raking up the loose rock that magically appears in the driveway (~0.45 miles) as well as other areas of...

Was wondering if hydraulic tools like breakers or chainsaws can be run off the remotes of CUTs like my Bobcat CT225? Was looking at hydraulic tools the other day just out of curiosity which made me wonder about powering them from a tractor. Things like: Chainsaws Breakers Post drivers

A Kohler 7.5c61 propane generator. Picked up an old utility company service trailer that had the generator, air compressor and blower setup. It sits behind our power shed which you can see is beneath the panels.

FWIW, we finished our retirement home early this year and have been living in it full time since April. Only solar for electric as the nearest power lines are many miles away. We have 27 255W panels on three poles connected to dual Midnite Solar Magnum inverters and Classic charge controllers...

I went ahead and ordered the hard copy Bobcat service manual. The print job is decent and it does come with a binder. Decided to do the right thing and buy it from Bobcat instead of some pirate on ebay. BTW they also sell it in electronic form on CD-ROM. I presume in PDF format but...

So my FEL bucket has two sets of ears on it. What are these for?

You'll want to get an actual slope measurement so that you can properly plan how much of your "bench" needs to be cut into the hill. The forest service (and pretty much everyone else) uses these guidelines for cutting side hill trails.

My 2 cents... My property is pretty much rocks with a little bit of dirt mixed in. My "driveway" was carved out of the native soil with a dozer and has no gravel or other materials added to it. Just last week I cleaned up where recent rains had brought the rocks up. I used a landscape rake...

I have an oil filter for my CT225 waiting for the next service. Here it is: The ID of the threads is shown on the caliper. 18.56 mm give or take.

Anyone with a CT225 use a rock bucket with it? The 7TL loaders don't have the greatest lift capacity and the various rock buckets I've found are heavy enough to use up a good portion of that capacity which has me concerned about how useful it would end up being. I've got a lot of rocks of...
