We sold the house in the city. Bought 1.6 acres between Denison and Ambrose Texas. That was almost two years ago. Weæ±*e doing all the work ourselves, 4150 sf slab, 89 cu yards concrete we hired out the pour and finish. I found 2600 ft of 11 1/2 X 3 1/4 fourteen gauge C purlins in assorted...

I had a need for a temporary power pole. And I had an abandoned power pole in the fence line. Nothing but a thing

I dug a lot of post holes with the old JCB. I put a 165 gallon tank on top to help with crowd (down pressure). It helped. I even made a bracket that hung out front of the auger frame to hold 250 lb tractor weights to get down pressure, it to helped. But it was very awkward and I was afraid of...

RNG I can see you sitting in a tracked skid steer with a/c and stereo mowing. Left hand moving about two inches to change direction, right hand doing nothing at all. Weæ±*e talking $70,000.00 dream but with lottery winnings who cares? Don, I was working at 80% by afternoon. I figure using the...

I recommend renting a Tak with a tooth bucket for a week, $1,500.00 be my guess. Most of the machines these days except for the Bobcats are hand controls, intuitive if you致e operated an FEL on a tractor. That way you get to learn what it can do for you. The biggest issue for most people is...

Morning Kyle, the unit is from Oklahoma. The Choctaw Nation has a program that helps homeowners that are members of the Nation on the purchase of a storm cellar or safe room. My first option was a safe room that I made myself but Glenda is claustrophobic. We went to Hanauser in Mead where...

The unit weighs 21,000 lbs. We hope we never need it. The neighbors understand that it will never have a lock on it even though we winter in Yuma Az.

I知 part Choctaw and they have a program to help members who live in tornado alley get a storm cellar. We got one that can hold 20 people in a pinch. I saved some money by doing the excavating and back fill.

I can spell better than that. The same gremlins that turn my apostrophes to gobble gook seem to like changing whole words too. Sorry

Almost all of the attachments will work on any skid steer. Some of the older ones need a little adjustment (cutting torch). But for the most part you can rent a hammer and install it on your machine, performance depends upon your auxiliary hydraulic output. So you would want to have the most...

In my limited experience the best digging skid steer is the Takeuchie (sp). I can稚 explain it but even with the narrower tracks they just dig. I know part of it is the radial lift. I致e used a few brands and probably the hardest thing to do is dig out four inches level in one pass like...

I have the Volvo version of the JCB. I currently have 5 1/2 smooth bucket, 6 tooth bucket, Bobcat auger attachment with 12” auger Pengo teeth, 9 clay auger, extension so I can go 10’ deep with augers, concrete bucket (holds half cu yard). Forks, gin pole with electric winch. There are tons of...

I would be the last one to mention the temperatures and sunshine here in Yuma. But today we had sun shades installed on the motorhome for days like tomorrow when the temps will be in the seventies but feel much hotter in the direct sunshine.

It could be one track. The common method of splicing the track is inside of a bracket. On my door I tacked them together. If you go to TSC, HD, or Lowes the track will be in max 12 foot lengths. If you got to a local steel building supply they will have them in 20 lengths. The track will be...

Okay Don, this is a great committee repair. The track is available at the box stores and or Tractor Supply. Pull the trim pieces for access to the track. You might have to remove both doors but you might have to remove only one. Find the retainer, usually a bolt or screw, pull it and then...
