    Neighbor Claiming Prescriptive Easement?

    I have a neighbor who is claiming my driveway is also their "secondary access" to their property. They have their own driveway, so I have no idea why they would need to use mine. Anyway, they have no legal easement, but claim they have been using my property as "secondary access" for 30 years...

    Snow chains for plowing with a rear blade

    Any recommendations for chains and where to buy them? My tractor is 4wd, should I get chains for the rear, or all 4 tires? I'll be plowing about two miles of single lane gravel road with a 9ft 6-way rear blade. We don't get a ton of snow or ice here (western Colorado @ 6,800ft ASL), but once...

    Pulling stuck vehicles out of the ditch with a tractor

    With winter coming up I'm sure someone is going to go off my road, into the ditch, and get stuck. I used to recover using a Jeep with a winch, but it I no longer own it. My tractor has a hitch, but my rear blade is most likely going to be in the way. So where's the best place to attach a...

    Having trouble installing/removing & adjusting rear blade on 3 pt.

    First let me say I'm new to tractors, so I might be doing something stupid, but I'm having a great deal of trouble removing/adjusting the rear blade I bought for my tractor. Right now it's on the 3pt, but it's not adjusted right. When raising the 3pt it doesn't start picking up the blade off...

    3K lbs grapple on a 4K lbs loader?

    Would that work, or am I just going to damage the grapple sooner or later? It would be used for logs, rocks and brush so probably nothing to heavy (famous last words!). I'm looking at one of these two units. https://palletforks.com/products/29-in-log-grapple-attachment...

    That new tractor feeling

    100% how I will feel when my 'new to me tractor' arrives. Do I just rev it up and pop the clutch in 3rd to get it to wheelie? :ROFLMAO:

    What implement(s) to repair and maintain two miles of gravel road?

    So I 'think' I've bought my first tractor (it's on hold), and now I need implements. I've read a bunch and watched a lot of videos on the subject of gravel road maintenance, but I'm still unsure what I need. The road is about 14ft wide. My road is in OK condition (mild to moderate wash...

    Owning a new(er) tractor that's too heavy to haul with your pickup?

    Is that just a dumb idea? Paying to get it hauled to the dealer would get expensive, but I would do all the basic maintenance and repairs myself, on site. Some of these 75-100hp utility tractors I'm looking at are going to be 7-10,000lbs with a loader. Factor in a trailer (4,000lbs? at least)...

    Culvert maintenance?

    I've got six smaller culverts (10-12") and four larger ones (eyeballing them at 3-4ft) on my property. They are all clear, but I was thinking about putting some galvanized chain through them and anchoring it at both ends with some rebar. The idea being that if it gets jammed up, I can pull a...

    What class of tractor for maintaining two miles of road at higher elevation?

    I have a 200+ acre ranch (6,800ft above sea level) with a few miles of single lane gravel road that needs to be maintained. Under the gravel, the soil is silty clay, and the topography involves some mild grades along with some short steep hills. The main road is mostly well built with culverts...
