Due to some very weird circumstances I have a 2 week old field of winter rye that is coming up in a very nice thick stand. I need too add brassicas, clover, chicory to this food plot. Should I broadcast the small seeds right into the rye at this point (and cultipack)? or should I till the field...

I need a bit of knowlege please. I've got a project that I'm working on and it involves welding nuts onto rebar. Now I never done this before so I don't know what type of nut to use. I've read that welding galvinized metal is a no-no, the fumes will kill you, etc. Is it ok to weld the zinc...

Guys, my wood splitter is giving me fits. Its 3 years old and has worked flawlessly up till now. I split 10-12 cords per year with it. I use it heavy for 3 weeks each fall, then only intermitant light use the rest of the year. The problem I'm having is a bogging of the engine while splitting...

I'm going to drive a 2" well point to run a sprinkler system and I'm having a heck of a time on the design. I want to irrigate about 1000sf of turf to start and add zones as my lawn expands. I'm estimating a 6-8 + gpm well at approx. 16 feet, if I have to I'll drive a 2nd point to get it. I've...

Guys, I've got a 18 foot car hauler that I bought new a few years ago. Unfortunately I didn't have a storage area big enough for it and it has sat outside since new. The sun, rain, and snow have taken a toll on the pressure treated deck. The grain has raised and the wood is sun-bleached. My pole...

What's up? I searched the phrase "insulate pole barn" with the quick search feature and I got two hits. Then I went to the advanced search area and searched the exact same phrase and got nothing. How is that possible? I selected the widest perameters possible: search all posts, search entire phrase.

Hope you guys can help. I've got a delemma. This weekend I'll be running a 200amp service to a new pole barn. I was going to run it from my homes main panel but my plans have changed. I'm now going to run it from the main disconnect panel that sits directly under the meter. The meter and main...

Can anyone tell me if the 1720 and 1920 share the same frame? More specifically are the roll bars from these two tractors identical? I need to replace the roll-bar on my 1920, and I have located a used one from a parted-out 1720. I'd like to make sure it will work before I pay almost 100 bucks...

Do any of you mix Sevin and Round-up together? I treat the foundations of buildings with both and I'd like to mix together to save time. I use a "ATV" sprayer for application.

For those of you you have added extra coverage on your CUT, what are your yearly premiums. I'm going to be trailering to some of my undeveloped land and want the tractor covered for accidents and theft while on the road, away from home. I got one quote for $190 a year for a insured value of...

Ok, I have read this saftey forum a lot. I have learned a great deal and had the *&_% scared out of me too. I don't want to get injured or worse. The sad thing is I'm now pretty much to afraid to pull ANYTHING with my tractor. Some say its fine to pull as long as you attached your chain to the...
