Years ago I used some insect stuff called "Bugs Be Gone" in a hand sprayer. It worked really well. I bought some recently and it was a waste of money & time. I supposed they changed the formula? My problem is the tiny little "No See Ums" that come in swarms. The mosquitoes are no problem...

I live in the Pisgah National Forest and have lots of insects. I bought an 110 electric fogger last year and like it a lot. The problem is, I don't know which chemicals I need to purchase for the No-see-ems or the gnats? I would like to know what works for you and how often you fog?

PTO powered generator for when one of those trees takes out the power line. K5LWQ, you are correct about the trees and power lines! We have a lot of outages. I have that covered with a 5000 watt Generac generator. We have also learned to live 5 or 6 hours without power.

Sounds like a Logging Winch would work for you!!! I actually thought about a Logging Winch. Living here in the forest makes getting firewood easy, trees are always falling into or near the forest roads making firewood harvesting easy. There have been times that a winch would have been helpful...

These are all great ideals! I should have given more info. I live in the Pisgah Nat Forest (mountains). I don't have much of a yard, so I have very little grass and a weed whacker has to be used. I own 5.5 acres and border the USFS so I have another 150,000 acres to play on. I do heat with...

I sold my finish mower that I don't need anymore. I was going to buy another PTO attachment for my tractor but can't decide which attachment would be the best? I thought about an Auger but they have gone up in price beyond my need. Any suggestions on something useful to use with my PTO?

I started this post in 2010, 14 years ago about FedEx not delivering my packages. It's 2024 and I am still having problems getting my packages. It is not as bad as it was but they still play games with me. I guess this is one of the problems of rural living?

Thanks for posting that link, it answered all my questions!

I don't have a manual for the Boomer 24 but I do believe that the 80-90 wt gear oil is what actually goes in the front axle?

I am replacing the axle seal on my 2014 Boomer 24 TLB. I have always used transmission fluid in my front axles and I read last week about a guy that uses gear oil which I assume he was talking about 90w gear oil. What do you use in your New Holland front axle?

This is all good information, I still have a few things I can use this can of MMO in, such as an older riding lawnmower, a couple old generators, my 3 diesel tractors plus cleaning my guns! Thanks.

I use 2 ounces of white bottle Power Service and 4 ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil in every 5 gallons of road diesel fuel That I use in my 4 pieces of diesel equipment. I was wondering if MMO was good for diesel engines, thanks.

A friend gave me a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil? I remember it from the 1960's but I have never used it. Where do you use it and what is it good for?

As I mention earlier the Mosquitos are not a problem. I suspect the bats we have and all the birds especially the Fly Catchers take care of the Mosquitos. We also have outside fires at the firering. The no-see-ums and knats are the problem. I ordered a 110 powered fogger that I can use with...

Mainly "No See Ums", "Nats" and a few "Mosquitos". We have outside fires at the firering and we have Bats. I have sprayed with a handheld pump up sprayer that helps temporarily. I built a fogger with an old lawnmower that was very effective but I can't get the lawnmower to all my property...
