Hi, I haven't owned a sprayer before but I am in a situation now where I'm going to need one. I have about three acres that I need to spray for sand burrs (and other weeds). I found these two sprayers which I thought might fit the bill and was wondering if anyone had experience with them, good...

I posted this in the general forums but wasn't getting any responses so I thought I would repost it here... --- My dealer quoted me the following prices for a backhoe and a 3-way rear blade. Just wanted to know if these prices seem reasonable. I'm going to call some other dealers in the area...

My dealer quoted me the following prices for a backhoe and a 3-way rear blade. Just wanted to know if these prices seem reasonable. I'm going to call some other dealers in the area but I thought I'd check with you guys too. 1) New Holland 930GH Backhoe: $9300 (including installation)...

I have some yard / pasture that was left very rough and bumpy after flooding last Spring. I am going to rototill it to level it out. My question is should I use a land-rake right after I rototill it, a little later, or not at all? I was thinking that if I land-raked it right after I rototill it...

I'm looking for a rear blade. I have a NH 2420 (60 HP). I'm not sure whether I should get a 6' or 7'. Also, I really don't want to spend more than $500-$600. I know that's at the lower end of the scale but I'd like to get the best quality for the dollar that I can, so if you have any experience...

Does anyone know who makes and / or sells 500 gallon and larger "lawn" rollers?

Does anyone know where you can buy the KingKutter Professional line of equipment (not the "Standard" line)? KingKutter has middle-busters for both the Professional and Standard series but the Professional one is 20lbs. heavier (I'm assuming that 20lbs means stronger, but I could be wrong).

I've made several posts asking questions about plows in the last day or so as I'm thinking of getting a Leinbach moldboard plow. But after more thought maybe what I need isn't a plow at all. Or, at least maybe not a moldboard plow. What I am wanting to do is break up (virgin) ground to be...

I'm looking at buying a used class 6 truck. I've been looking at F-650, Freightliner 60, International 4200, Sterling Acterra, etc.; I'd like to hear any feedback you may have about trucks in this class. Is the F-650 everybit as tough a workhorse as the others in this class? I've looked all over...

My wife came across this. I thought it was interesting and wondered if it actually worked or not. Has anyone seen or used one of these? In addition to splitting logs from the side I wonder if it will split a 24" long log from its end (like you would with an axe)? The one drawback is that you...

I need to buy some 5400 lb. ratchet binders. Harbor Freight has a good price ($24.99) but its probably made in China (- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices). Fastenal has them for $39.10. They say it is a Fastenal approved vendor but they don't say where it is made...

I have a 20'x30' foot area that I am thinking of using for a garden. I thought I might rent a walk-behind rototiller to till it. 1) The 20'x30' area has never been tilled before. Can I use the walk-behind rototiller to get it turned or will I have to do something to the ground before I try and...

We have soil with lots of fist sized (and larger) rocks. I've been using my box blade to try and remove them from an area I'm trying to prepare for a garden area. The box blade does OK but it does fill up fairly quickly at which time it quits picking up additional rocks. My question is what...

I need some post holes dug and I was wondering what people usually charge to do this. I assume they charge by the pole but maybe not. I'm trying to figure out if I want to pay someone or rent / buy a unit for myself.

I was considering using a drag harrow ( King Kutter Incorporated ) to go over the land after rototilling it. Has anyone else done this and did you like the results.
