    What do Y'all charge ?

    I don't do excavation. I will do gravel driveways and reconditioning though, so I typically only go down about 2 to 4 inches, if that. I did get into a customer laid gas line once while reconditioning a driveway. It was flex at about 1.5" below grade. He admitted to laying it and had the stuff...

    Seat time withdrawal?

    Anybody get tractor seat time withdrawals? Here in the south, we don’t do just a whole lot of snow plowing or blowing and most don’t even have the equipment for that and mowing season ain’t year round. While there are some things to be done, there’s just not a whole lot that requires a tractor...

    What do Y'all charge ?

    I've been doing side jobs for several years and even added another tractor recently. I do carry insurance for my tractor side work, but was just curious how others charge for your area. I know some charge by the job or acre, but even that is based on an hourly rate. Being in the Ft. Worth area...

    Got asked to bid a very unusual project

    I haven't read ALL of the comments,but have you thought about a boom lift? Some have a 90' reach, can accommodate 3 men and be operated from the basket. Just a possibility https://www.genielift.com/en/aerial-lifts/telescopic-boom-lifts/sx135xc

    CASE Guys

    Fortunately, my JD dealer, United Ag & Turf is only a mile down the road and they treat me very well. Most folks I know that trade with them seem pleased with the service they get as well.

    CASE Guys

    I recently acquired a 2011CNH Farmall 40 HST with about 1100 hours on it and have been very pleased. I've had to do a few minor repairs, as usual when getting a used tractor, but am impressed with it. Being a "Green" owner/fan for many years, this Farmall has earned our respect. I'm not familiar...

    Question on using JB weld

    I've done that before. Works very well on aluminum but the plastic ones required good sanding to roughen up the area before it would hold. Also had to drill small holes at each end of the crack to stop the crack from continuing. All that said, I would put a new radiator in it. I wouldn't want...

    How Many Have More Than One Tractor?

    I bought it new in '04 and it has been a real workhorse and was cheaper than the Kubota of the same size I was looking at. You don't see many of them though, at least from what I've seen.

    Reviews on Ozone Generators

    We have had a Living Air Classic for several years. They do in fact work. They will also clear a room of smoke in a matter of seconds (personal experience). They are expensive but well worth buying one for long term health advantages. Caution, do not turn the ozone up too high if you are in the...

    Using concrete powder to hold gravel in place

    Here in north central Texas, we use what is called CTB, concrete treated base, in some applications. works very well as it gets very hard and solid before laying asphalt or can be used as is for a good driveway.

    Where do you get rid of used hydraulic fluid?

    Oreilly here told me that if they sell it they have to accept it, so mine goes back to Oreilly and they don't bat an eye. However the 5 gallon rule does apply.
