    Moving a young raccoon

    My mother in law found out one of her boyfriends was married. She got him drunk and proceeded to Nair his hairy Sicilian body from stem to stern. Then she sent him home to his wife.

    55-60 HP CHOICES

    The data from owners is anecdotal, not empirical. To be empirical, there would need to be hypotheses, scientific sampling and careful data collection. Also need to control for variables.

    What are Messick's Smoking

    Frankly, part of the problem is the Kubota branded fluid. They don't produce fluids, they are rebranded. Find out the specs and get a reliable supplier from a company that makes oil based products. You are more likely to have a local supplier of Shell or Mobil or Chevron products than Kubota...

    Zero Turn buying advice

    I dont know what his budget is. I also had no clue what a ZT would run. Those diesel ones are as much as a small CUT.

    There's no relocating those. Around here they are shoot on sight. No quarter given regardless of size.

    Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

    Given the twists with Elon, I wouldn't trust most strange claims individuals make about his products. We used to be able to disagree with people and remain civil.

    Mostly myth. Like most popular commercial products, marketing has more to do with high sales than anything else.

    Moving a young raccoon

    I looked at a state by state list of protected snakes. The strangest part to me is how the 'naturalists' insist that each species needs to be well populated anywhere they have ever been seen. Nature didn't work like that before people. Why do we think we need to maintain a particular level...

    Moving a young raccoon

    I forgot, we do have Timber Rattlers here, too. Most of my childhood was East River South Dakota. (IYKYK) No poisonous snakes there at all. West River has Prairie Rattlers. How would someone know you popped a snake unless you told them?

    Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

    Learned to drive in one that looked like this: it was dad's company car. He and mom's brother owned an IH dealership. Uncle had the same one but with the white top.

    Rotary Cutter Is a stump jumper needed for a 4-foot brush hog?

    If you are using equipment that is under warranty, and the warranty matters to you, stay within specs. Something that can be done isn't necessarily something that should be done. You can almost always tow more than you vehicle is rated to tow...but doing so shortens its life. Same concept...
