30 deg here in Bugscuffle Bottoms. On the second cup of coffee. Just fed the livestock. (Consisting of one ole fat cat that taps her paws on the patio door when she hears me get up) life is good and good morning! Sent from my iPhone using TractorByNet

43 deg. here. On the way down the dark hall just now to make first pot of coffee. ALL OF A SUDDEN the toes on my left foot make contact with a vacuum cleaner left in the hall. Sharp intake of air, visions of certain words flash through my head, is it Monday...again? Otherwise Good Morning!

Resting after scratching up the last food plot.

Just some pics of things I find interesting.

Some friends brought my 4 yr. old granddaughter a hen setting on 5 eggs in a small cage. So, I had to build something when they hatched. I looked at pics and plans for mobile chicken pens (chicken tractors) and had some old treated lumber laying around. So here goes my first project to post to...

Second cup of coffee on the way; planning building pea trellis and finishing chicken tractor when it warms up a bit. By the way good morning!

After much consideration and trying other ZTR's I finally settled on a Ferris IS1500z with the Kawasaki engine and 52" cut. The suspension was great since I have a rather rough yard. The steering was a little hard to get used to and I'm still not great at it. I use a 8 wheel Argo for surveying...

Of all of the build-it-yourself posts this probably is the simplest and least complicated. But thought someone might use the idea. There's lots of ways to improve it but I needed something real quick to cover my seeds in the garden rows. Took about 5 minutes or so. Just drag it along and it...

Bought a KK 60 pto tiller last Sat. on sale. Had to shorten the pto shaft about 3" to fit on the B7800. After some fertilizer, lime and old straw, this is my #2 son tilling it under. (I walk along and pick up rocks). Sold the big TroyBilt and the new KK seems to be doing a fine job.

44 deg. and cloudy here in the Ozarks. Wood stove a puffin', Working on a pot of coffee and the Big newspaper. Happy Thanksgiving!

Live on a dead end road and had a little too much traffic going up and down the road for my taste...neighbors have reported stolen items, etc. So...I put up a game cam with infrared flash across the road from my driveway pointing up my driveway hopefully to have some evidence if anything came...

My son went with me on a business trip to Baton Rouge, then we went on down to coast and he took these pics.

It's came down to either a Kubota L3400HST or a Kioti CK35HST, both with FEL. I'm trading a 2005 B7800 with 110 hrs. Some of my observations: CK35: more comfortable suspension seat; L3400 has flip seat with spring. CK35 has tilt steering, L3400 does not. CK35 has horn, L3400 does not (not that...

Just a few pics of our latest ice storm.

Hello all! I'm considering a project on an existing pole barn and thought I would ask some advice from TBN'ers. It's a typical pole barn, metal siding and roof, 24x36x8 tall with trusses on 8 ft. centers & concrete floor. I'm wanting to insulate walls and ceilings. The trusses have held up...
