I know this topic has been covered but didn't see any response on a resolution. I have a new M6-111, 135 hrs on it and the DEF warning comes on. Says I am in Level I with 8 minutes left before it goes to Level II (idle only I believe). Drained DEF tank and replaced with fresh DEF. No change...

Thanks for all the posts guys. No inspections but the new plumber is going with the 3" and is now comfortable with it. I don't know the size of the vents, hoping the original plumber managed that ok. The first plumber has some difficulty getting the pipes in the walls so the builder is having...

So building a brand new home, framing is up, some electric done, single story, slab is about 110ft long, has 4 toilets, 3 and 1/2 bathes. Currently I have a 4" main line waste discharge pipe with 3" risers to the toilets. My builder just fired the old plumber who did all that install and the...

Well I know this is an old post but..........I did it! Got the bridge across the creek. Ha. The water was low which helped. After all the figure and worrying, I decided to put the blade of my dozer on top of one end and push down. I chained the end of the bridge to the blade so that when...

Thought I'd offer some entertainment for the evening. 4 ton fertilizer buggy heading down the highway when the rim absolutely lets go and rolls past me in my truck. Cars in the other lane were skidding and swerving. Luckily no one got hurt. This is a big implement tire. I have $1,600 worth...

Trying to build a new home near Marquez, TX which is near Lake Limestone and about an hour away from both Bryan/College Station and Waco, TX. I 've managed to find a couple guys in those towns but they want to charge me a pretty big premium to drive out there. I'd like to find some builders...

Well guys, I sure didn't mean to start a firestorm debate. Two sides to every argument I suppose. I was just hoping for some advice on what options I had. The pad site is underway.

I got home from an Easter weekend visiting family to find a letter on my front porch saying XTO is about to drill on small acre tract I own. This deal is fast tracked for some odd reason and they want to be drilling by April 24th. With the price of gas I can't imagine why they'd want to drill...

Well I know this is an old post I started but hadn't done anything on the bridge yet. Except I got it delivered this weekend. Take a look at this baby......

I'm about to buy a new piece of property that will have about 5 acres stranded due to a large creek crossing. The creek is about 28ft wide and about 8 or so feet deep. I've been looking at old 40' flat bed trailers, old 45' semi trailers and the 40' flat shipping rack as options for the...

So looking at upgrading my L3200 and thinking about a M7040. Adding some new acreage to the mix so I NEED the larger tractor. I do have some thick brush to motor thru while shredding but my vision is to have all that cleared away and trimmed up above canopy height, but that will take awhile...

I'm about to buy 150 acres in central Texas and was quoted $4,500 to do a survey. I have no real experience with rural surveys so I was wondering if that price is reasonable. There has been no survey and the field notes available are from 1940 and are basically useless. Also, there is some...
