    Foods you ate growing up that most folks don't eat today

    Blood sausage was really good, a cousin gave me a ring a couple years ago and we talked about how our mom’s would brown and then roast it….turned out great.

    Buying backhoe for CK2610 vs Renting Mini Excavator

    Consider getting a quote on the next size tractor up ck3510. On ten acres it will shrink in size. Also you would then be able to add the kb2475l which has full 180 bucket rotation and swing (makes a difference) more reach and power. Or as rScotty suggested check out a new or used Kubota...

    UTV windshield choices

    I have an older Kubota RTV900 that has a homemade acrylic windshield..crack, rattle, scratched with fogged view...it needs to go. So I’m thinking of getting a coated hardened Lexan windshield rather than the uncoated but not sure if it’s worth up charge. Also, besides that choice, any opinions...

    Woodland Mills wood Chipper wait times !

    Designed in Canada...made in China. A couple years ago I wanted the Woodmaxx made in USA, but they had about a six month wait so I went with the wc68. It has been a very good unit and their customer service was fantastic.

    Wire Mesh Gauge

    I've read and talked to a couple concrete people I know locally and the amount of opinions on concrete is more varied than most construction areas. Anyway, based on conversations for a 30' x46', 4"-4.5" thick slab I am thinking of using a combination of flat mesh panels and perimeter rebar for...

    MF 1533 1540 and other owners opinions/info?

    I have been looking on and off for a little larger compact tractor with around 28hp pto. The following is first reasonable priced sale I've come across. It's a local private sale for a 1540 with 1525 loader and Woods BB72 cutter at under $15k. I went and looked at it a couple weeks ago and...

    TC35 noise

    If someone has experience with the noise on this video please post what you think it might be. Right after turning the wheel at the beginning of video you can hear it once and then about 30 seconds in the tractor makes the noise a couple of times. Just the hydro on steering limitation or...

    Takeuchi tb216 test drive

    The neighbor is a service field rep for a large equipment rental company. He brought one of these home for the weekend. He told me to stop over and try it out. I figured he wound up not using it as I did not hear it and then on Sunday I was in the front yard and heard a quiet engine. He was...

    Pole Barn Layout Opinion

    I had the good fortune of being able to store equipment etc. at a former foundry my friends family owned for the past 6 years or so. Well, most of that property is being sold so pole barn must go up this year. It was pretty nice to have use of the storage while it lasted. Anyway, I have two...

    Deckover dump trailer option choice

    I am looking at purchasing a 6x10 deckover dump. I have found two and each has a couple of different options, so I wanted to ask for any opinions on the option differences between the two. Price is about the same. So which options are more practical? Construction of each, frame style, bracing...

    Is wireless dump trailer remote worthwhile?

    Anyone using a wireless remote on their dump trailer have any pro or con comments? It seems most dumps come standard with about a 20' wired remote control that could be operated by standing off to side or maybe brought over the bed through a sliding rear window or back window to operate from...

    Deckover Dump Trailer Users

    I am going to purchase a dump trailer and am considering a deckover style over the low pro style. I have a car hauler and small aluminum utility (really handy) so I do not need a dump trailer for equipment. But I looked for opinions on the deckover style and it seems most are just opinions...

    Woods Box blade

    I acquired a Woods GB60 (60") a few years ago that I am going to sell. It is pretty heavy duty. It is for all practical purposes unused, a little surface rust in a couple of spots with not a chip or wear on either blade or rippers. It has been stored indoors for the past few years. Any opinions...

    Massey restorations by volume

    I found this link to UK dealer that restores older Massey models on a commercial basis. They have Fords, JD and some other items also, but appear to specialize in multiple old Massey's. It is pretty interesting, like looking at a dealer time warp. I wonder if any companies in the US do something...
