We put up a bat house 2 1/2 years ago and all we had for residence were wasp. I checked it about a month ago and nothing but the wasp nest. Last night I was setting on the patio and saw we had occupants. So tonight the wife and I went out to the shooting bench that is near the pole holding the...

Got another truck load of crushed limestone this morning. Had some time this afternoon so got it spread. Biggest load I have had, 27.32 ton. Glad as it was just enough to finish the drive. Finally got it pretty well figured out by the time I was done. :laughing: Made the wife happy which is...

Hunt, we must have seen the same bench plans online. Son and I built two of them one for 100 yard and one for 200/300 yard. Good solid design. The plywood sounds like a good idea but, like you, I don't like plywood outside. So far ours have served us well.

Well, seems I have been super busy for several months. Finally got around to putting a little gravel on our turn-around. I've decided I am not to good at spreading gravel but it is still better than it was. The base is pretty good but needed topped up. Here is an image of the before and the semi...

Lower stuff all looks real close

That area looks pretty good I think

I think I see the difference. On mine the lever the rod attached to is straight up and down. Yours is leaning back.

Here is one at the same angle.

Like these?

Someone mentioned the placement of the welded but. Here is that.

Here it is.

Whoops sent the same one twice here is the other one

Yep, here you go.

Here is what mine looks like when the bucket is level. I have the 72 in flat back bucket. Let me know if you want me to measure anything.

Can anyone tell me if box blade shanks with rear slots will work on a box blade that came with shanks with front slots? Having trouble finding reasonable priced shanks.

It is not mine but I saw this and thought some on this thread might like it. It may have already been posted, not sure.

Got this text this morning from my daughter. Grandkids are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2. Everyone else's kids are watching Disney + and Paw Patrol on Saturday morning. Meanwhile... My kids are over here watching Lone Star Law and learning about snapping turtles, goat tying, and the dangers of javelinas. I...

ovrszd is correct. A little more detail on ours, which came in a little over $38 per sq ft. It is all galvanized vs red iron due to where we are. Two inches of insulation on the shop area with spray foam for office areas. Contractor built the building but I did all the inside finishing...

I got a used 6 foot 3 pt tiller and it seems to work great. Just wondering if there is anything I should know before learning the hard way. Tiller is just a County Line and does not appear it has been used much. Our soil is real fine sand mixed with loamy soil. Think baby powder type of sand...

I purchased a used 6' County Line tiller and a used 6' box blade today. The tiller is missing the tractor portion of the PTO shaft. Looks like I can get one from TSC for around $120. Does anyone know of a better place to buy one? It is the triangular shaped shaft. I wasn't really planning on...

Here is a photo taken in Hyder, Alaska where we ate breakfast on morning. My son and I made the trip to Alaska and back in 2004 and we were on the way home at this point. Fun trip!

Saw the below on Craigslist. Thought most on here would appreciate it. Hello ladies get that tractor for your man - farm & garden - by dealer - sale

I have an Armstrong Ag Mini Grapple. IT is 60 inches wide and opens to 45 inches, so has a big bite. It has 11 tines with 6 inch spacing and weighs 440 pounds. IT has 2 2 1/2 x 7 cylinders. Cost me I believe $1,100 at the local dealer. So far no issues and I've worked it pretty good. The below...

Ran across this photo of live music from the Low Gap Cafe. It is an experience.

I like the gravel and dirt roads. The V-Strom in these photos is what I rode to Alaska and back. Then got a 950 like the one in the photo. My nephew and I were exploring dirt roads and did about 300 miles the day these were taken. This spot was one of our favorites. The mud was pretty firm so...

I should have mentioned if you go to advanced mode the icon is in the second row. When you hover over it it should say Insert Image. The icon is the same in either case as shown in the red box below. Click the image to enlarge it.

While everyone up north deals with snow I took a break and goofed off. It was nice enough today that I could not resist getting the old Ducati Multistrada out and exercising her a bit. Went for about a 40 minute ride through the country side. Every time I get on that bike it surprises me just...

Here is what I did. Mainly to keep grand kids from getting into trouble. Need to get back to the shop and get things finished up one of these days. Used stake pockets, 2x4's and some balusters. They are held in place by turnbuckles and a gate latch. My mezzanine is open so I can set these off...

I keep reading this thread because I do miss cutting wood. Saw the comments about snakes and bugs so thought I would join in a bit. We do have few snakes around here but glad to be away from the snow. We had quite a few black widows and large wolf spiders along with a few scorpions. We put in a...

I had saw a post on here about using a bungee and figured I would do that until I got something better. Almost 60 hours later it is still there and not sure I will do anything different. My bungee was a bit longer than it needed to be and the next shorter I could find was to short so I just tied...

They did that on ours too. Keeps the concrete from acting like a sponge is what they told me. Edited: changed the image out to one that was right side up.

Ok, here is one I took on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska while my son and I were on a motorcycle trip in 2004. Actually it is about 4 or 5 images stitched together to make the panoramic. Shot it with a Nikon D100 which had no panoramic setting. It was late at night in early July, hence the deep...

We even have mushrooms in Texas. Just saw this one behind the shop, wasn't there yesterday.

Not today, but last Saturday I moved a rock pile. It is left over from our house and shop build and needed to be moved to a different location about 400 yards away. Think I hauled right around 20 loads like this.

We went down to Padre Island National Seashore last weekend. Great place to get away for a bit. This is North Padre Island, no development, just a 70 mile natural beach with lots of sand dunes. We ended up driving down the beach to mile marker 20 which is in what is known as the Little Shell...

I have a land plane (your second photo) works great for the gravel drive but will not move much dirt. I believe that was speaking of the box blade as the one that will move dirt. We built up the area for our house and shop 18 inches and hired it done. It took two weeks a Cat and the below...

The 2240 is brand new, that is why I could not pass it up for $169. The Champ on the other hand has cut many, many cord of firewood as well as saw logs. It is a great saw, just not what I need in my current location. The Champ looks a lot better with that new bar on it. The old bar was the...

Well, could not help myself. I have had a Jonsered 670 Champ for close to 25 years. Have never done anythign to it but put in oil and gas. On my current property we do not have trees just Texas brush. Got tired of carrying the Champ around and when I saw a Jonsered 2240 on Ebay for $169 I pulled...

Recently got a spinner for my steering wheel as I have had one in the past and found it handy. Put it on today and mowed a couple of hours with the RC. The surprising part to me is on this Kubota the steering wheel does not always return to the same spot. Is that normal? I put the spinner on...

I have around 25 hours on my L3560 LE at this point. Will have had it two weeks tomorrow. I am at 120 feet above sea level so no hp penalty for altitude here. I run a 6 foot Modern Ag shredder and for what I am doing it is working great. MY property is really rough so I do have to go pretty...

Did some mowing today and pulled a few Yaupon Holly bushes. Seems the noise from mowing was like ringing the dinner bell for one.of our local raptors.

I have an Armstrong Ag 60 inch mini grapple. So far it is awesome! They are a made in Texas company and a lot of dealers.in this area carry them.

When I picked up my new tractor the dealer told me it had SUDT2 in it for the hydraulic fluid. I got a couple of gallon to go as I figured when I put the grapple on it would require some additional fluid, which it did. This week I stopped by the local dealer to pick up some to replace what I...

My L3560 is like Fallon's, under left column on the back side.

I saw the Modern Ag when looking at different tractors. Thought the galvanized was a good idea so did Abit of research and liked what I saw. Went ahead and picked one up this afternoon. Ran it about 1/2 an hour and think it is going to work great. 10 year warranty is just a bonus.

Have a L3560HSTC LE and am looking to buy a new rotary cutter. I think I have it narrowed down to two units. The Kubota dealer has a Land Pride RC2072 which weighs in at 745 lbs. The other option is a Modern Ag unit that weighs right at 900 lbs. Both are 6 foot cutters which I know some will say...

Got the grapple on today and tried it out. Where was this thing at when I was younger? It makes stacking brush fun! Going to have to get some expanded metal in the grill guard before I do much more brush work though.

I know this is the Kioti section but since I started the thread with questions about the NX thought should update it. AS mentioned above I thing the NX looks like a great deal but decided to go with the Kubota due to my personal circumstances. Kioti Dave, you comment about 35 hp is I believe...

Finally got my new tractor home last night. Have put a little over three hours on it so far. Mainly running the brush hog and playing around with the loader leveling some rough spots. Loving it so far.

Well, finally found one and got it bought. As mentioned my dealer told me to see what I could find and they would be glad to work with me on service, warranty, etc. Called around and found some units. Closest one was about 1 1/2 hours away but their price was almost $6,000 more :shocked: Found a...

I have been trying to buy a Kubota L3560HSTC but my closest dealer has not been able to get me one. They told me today it is still 2 months out. While I had looked a bit at the Kioti before deciding to pursue the other orange tractor this delay has caused me to go back and look harder. I am...

Yep nephew did that recently. Well actually his brother shot a nail and it hit a knot and ricocheted over and got him from about 8 feet away. At least it missed bone.

Hello, New here but have been using the site to do research the last month or so. Lots of good information. I am looking at possibly purchasing an L3560HSTC LE. Currently I own a John Deere 950 (31 hp, 2,750 lbs) from the 1980s. Not a bad tractor but think I would like to update. Getting to old...
