I'm finally getting a moment to update. The farm project has been going well. After finishing the road got serious about clearing the land. As of now we cut and sell lumber, cut and sell fire wood, cut and sell chip wood, chip smaller stuff and sell it to the biomass plant. We have also been...

Has anyone put tracks on their tractor. Seems like a good idea, except for price of $29,000!

I came very close to rolling my tractor the other day. I've been working on a retaining wall in back of my house (our property falls off 28 degrees on three sides) to provided a larger back yard. The first thing I did was cut a road of sorts into the hill to work from. Worked fine for a week or...

Moving boulders for a wall and jammed on underneath and bent the steal hydraulic line that supplies the right side forward hydraulics. The pipe pushed up far enough to snap the high pressure hose reading the value box. It's is pushed up about level with the box itself. I either need to bend this...

For those that use all or at least two which method is your go to welder? I've practiced with Mig and it seems pretty straight forward. I've have a very long way to go and the advice here has been helpful. Now I am trying to figure out what to buy for first machine, used of course. Thanks

If all goes well, my wife and I will close on forty five acres of land in further North New Hampshire. This is a dream come true for us and we are excited to get going. The property is old farm land, hundred years or more, that was logged maybe twenty or thirty years back. About 20% is old...

It's getting close to decision time for me. I'm hoping I can get some thoughts on how much tractor I need and thoughts on brand bias to help me make a decision. We have purchased and will soon close on 45 acres of raw land surrounded by national forest. We intend on taking the better part of...

I just had the fifty hour service completed on my Kioti CK20 HST. While I love this little tractor I am selling it to buy a bigger one. I already have a buyer and thought it was only right that I complete this service before delivering it. $636.00 was the total bill! Is this normal? I like...

My wife and I just bought forty five acres of raw land surrounded by National Forest. Access is by two of three class six roads, meaning I've gotta go West on one of two different roads and then either North or South depending on which way I go in. For now only one road is maintained at all and...

Still a new guy here. Names David, I'm up in North Conway NH and am running a CKHST 20 Kioti. My wife and I just bought a forty five acre chunk of land up here. I plan on clearing it and building a farm, but that's for another thread. One of the first things I need to do is set up a welding...

I just registered for the site after lurking for a bit and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a former farm boy who's spent the last thirty years living in a couple of East Coast cities. My family and I just moved up to the North Country to get back on the farm, if you will. Had enough of the city...
