    Mushroom ID?

    Hard ta tell from the pics but they don't look like chanterelles. Most chanterelles have a trumpet like shape or at least a strong indentation topside and decurrent false gills or "ridges". There's an app that's "ok" for ID. Shroomify. Mushroom ID is a tricky thing. There's a lot more to it...

    How to tell which model hydrant?

    When I put the handle in the closed position it still very slowly drips water from the end of the hydrant. We put the additional cutoff on it during non-freezing weather to keep it from muddying up that general area and it does get pressurized when closed. So the hydrant is not fully closing...

    How to tell which model hydrant?

    Hey guys. I've got a leaking hydrant. Just barely dripping. Gonna try to adjust it but wanna get a rebuild/repair kit to have on hand for this and a few others on the property. Seems there's a lotta different model #'s for these and the difference is not always obvious to me. Don't see anything...

    Any useful service manuals available yet?

    Yes, I do have the operator's manual. If there was a useful service manual I think it'd be a nice thing to have. Case in point this last issue with the front axle seal. Which I'm pretty sure came from my "enthusiastic" use of this lil tractor over the years. But I had no way to tell if it's a...

    Any useful service manuals available yet?

    I'd like to get a service manual so I can get an idea of what needs to be done when things start breaking. Can't find much online about a 2014 3016HST 4x4. Last I saw in search the Mahindra SM's were a not too good. Has anyone found a good useful service manual for these? Thanks.. d:^)

    Round pen drainage

    Thanks for the replies fellas.. Still takin it all in and gettin input from local horse folk as well. I'm headed to the woods for a few days while I wait for it to dry out from that rain. I cut a slot at the bottom of the circle to let the water out. It wasn't going down much at all on it's own...

    Round pen drainage

    Not sure. In the pic you can see that all the water collects at the "bottom" of the circle. Does that qualify? I'm kinda thinkin if I can find a way to let water out and keep sand or whatever ends up being used for footing in I'll be good. Had a busy day with things to do and just now gettin...

    Round pen drainage

    Thanks much for the replies, fellas. We're takin it all in. Don't wanna rush this thing and jack it up. Here's a coupla more pics of the area from the county GIS site. I tried a quick area measurement tool to mark the location of the round pen. The "top" of the pen is near the lone pine. It...

    Round pen drainage

    That's what I'm fixin to work on before any footing goes in. I've prolly got enough fall to get a good bit of the water out. But will most likely end up with a little water in the bottom. Coupla inches or so. The wall of the pen at that location is ~8". ..Ya reckon it's no biggie if the water...

    Round pen drainage

    We've got the panels and a coupla gates ready for the round pen. Not gonna mess with those till we get the footing done, tho'. We set it up temporarily just to see if we liked the size and layout. Worked nicely. Are there any specifics to the "stone dust" or is that the "official" name for it a...

    Round pen drainage

    Hey guys. We're puttin a round pen in the pasture for workin/training the horses. Got a coupla questions. I've prepped the site pretty much. Scraped off a 64' circular base from 8"-12" deep. We got a good rain and it's got plenty of grade but the sticky red clay at the bottom holds the water...

    JD 1020 spraying Hydraulic fluid

    Could this problem mebbe be caused by just over filling it? They guys removed the old leaking connector for the FEL and plugged that hole. And now they say that the spraying has stopped at the rock shaft housing since the fluid level is down some. I was told that the level was a little low but...
