Two propane companies in my strate told me, back in early 90s, that it was illegal for them to transport a tank that had any propane left in it. Don't know whether that is true [what about homeowners transporting the 20-pounders for the grill, in their cars???]. Anyhow, I found a deal back...

I am not experienced with that model tractor, but could one also use the bucket to lift the front end a bit more and see whether the piece will roll to the rear of the fuel tank so it can be seen and maybe grabbed? Just pondering here.

Brand new banjo. I won't take it along on the tractor however.

As far as the Medishare thing goes, a friend told me about them when one of his clients raved about them. I contacted them and was sent a large brochure outlining the qualifications to join. They were things such as we had to prove we were Christians and were members of a Christian church and...

I am not familiar with your model, is it one of those with two oil drain plugs? If so, did you open both plugs when draining?

I am thinking there's more to the story. Very weird. The deal does not make sense for the buyer.

I tiptoed into electric last year with a chainsaw when Costco had some on sale. Turns out I use it as much as the Stihls. It works fine for felling and cutting up trees about 10" diameter or smaller. But I go with 60-70 cc gas saws for the larger trees. I don't need a string trimmer for much...

Good to hear. I bought a Wallenstein splitter some years ago, and it has been flawless in operation.

My 4701 is "newer" and I bought it in 2019. Took me a little while to get the regen thing down, as I'd had two previous Kubotas and neither had regen; and the service manager at the dealer was clueless how the system worked and what to do. The operating manual was not exactly helpful. However, I...

When I was shopping for my 1st tractor, I had no initial preference for brand, I was in need and had only ever used a Ford when I worked on a farm as a young guy. Figured out Ford was now New Holland, no dealers near me, so I stopped in a John Deere dealership with financing already approved by...

two weeks is virtually instantaneous

Yeah I tend to use our small-town local lumber store, except for...lumber. I've been buying there 40 years and everyone I know complains of the same thing: no matter what you need that lumber for, they don't let you pick any out, they just grab the boards on top of the stack and that is what you...

I have a bladder tank and twice a year or so I have to add air. About a year ago, I researched new bladder tanks and found they and the non-bladders are priced reasonably. Just in case my bladder goes...I bought this Sears tank maybe 35 years ago for less than $100 and it's still going. Of...

Yep, reads as roads made out of wet wood.

What's a fall notch?

I only read page 1 of this so sorry if I repeat stuff. My wife's brother died suddenly at 61 and left everything to her. He was a major packrat and the house was seriously stuffed with anything and everything. His place was across the country from us, a different state than we live in, and I had...

My wife's brother died [unexpectedly, 61] and my wife inherited his home way away from us in Mass., we live in Colorado. He was a hoarder, not of trash like on some of the TV shows, but everything else. It took us five years to completely clear the place and get ready to sell the house. My wife...

Pick up the antenna, walk over to somewhere else, put down the antenna.

The supplied cabled is 75' and an optional cable is twice that. The power to the antenna is via the same cable.

We've had our Starlink set up for a month or so now. I have a couple questions maybe someone here can answer. I need to permanently set the cable between the antenna and the router. It is temporarily run into the house though a doorway and then draped around a couple rooms. I have two...

Can't stand that sort of thing. I at least used to be ok with farmers' markets, but nowadays they are junk food booths, crafts, Chinesium trinkets, etc. and a very few, very high-priced booths with a few tomatoes and beans or whatever. Last time my wife and I stopped in one, 90% of the booths...

Thanks, my wife also just found they are not lights. Another thing is, she can use the app to do all the stuff but on the other phone and devices the app only comes up as a set-up page. Can only one device use the app at a time or something?

I just this hour got my Starlink going with antenna in temporary location. In fact, posting this via SL. There is zero info included in the pkg except the three drawings on the cardboard protector in the box. Where can one find out more info.....such as, what are the 3 LEDs on the router for...

Bought, or was buying, a top-name gas grill from HD. $$$ Noticed the box seemed to have been re-taped shut. I wanted to open that box and check to see if all was ok. There were many parts, and I would have to do this out in the aisle. Clerk didn't want to let me, called his manager, who...

Tryng to picture this. Is power wash a metaphor or how is it done? Just curious.

The guy says the top is 50' in the air. Ummmmm.......

Since I posted earlier about ordering a Greenworks saw from the Costco sale, I've used it quite a bit. I figured I'd use it for limbing, see if I could stand it instead of my Stihl 211 for that. The 211 has a well-deserved habit of leaking lots oil [design of the oil tank outlet] so it would not...

And even if a customer is "caught" trying to do a return scam, nothing will be done. My wife's best friend recently quit a job in the security dept of a large chain store. She and a co-worker stopped two teenaged girls who had openly put on a couple of very expensive leather jackets and walked...

My dumbest tractor trick was peripherally my fault, as I loaned it to a buddy who is an expert pro mechanic and etc, takes great care of tools, etc. And he's loaned me everything from forks to dump trailers to trucks and his airplane. He left the tractor parked in his drive, key and all, and...

Um, I suppose you are referring to a "future" relationship, as you are just starting one. For the twists and turns by the salesperson already, this is unacceptable. You definitely need to look further. This dealership is apparently making zero effort to develop a long-term relationship with you...

$6.71 per gallon for aviation fuel for my little plane. Diesel at a number of places on the way to the airfield was above $5.

The L3000 I bought maybe in 2002, brand new, had three weeks on it when I found some of the wiring chewed in pieces. We have, in addition to mice, chipmunks and ground squirrels, all of which will go for wires and cables. I patched up the wiring and enclosed it in those corrugated wire...

Still waiting delivery of the Greenworks 80v saw...since I posted about it some posts back, yesterday the county [and others in the state] issued a "severe fire danger" alert and no more firearms, chainsaws [gas], outdoor grilling, etc. Last year, they did this and the ban lasted until December...

Just ordered an 80v Greenworks saw from Costco as I'd been pondering it and they are on sale this month at Costco. Will add it to my stable of gas saws. Was never interested in battery saws, but last year the drought and fire danger in Colorado lead to some counties, including mine, banning...

I am old but pretend I am not so that thread is out for me, too.

For some years I would sharpen with a file, then every few months take the chains to a shop and have them done, particularly if I'd hit a rock or nail. Guy would sharpen as I waited, we chatted and he smoked and did the job and I'd be on my way home. Then he got to smoking and chatting and would...

"I'm curious about the folks who own their tanks. Does any supplier make you get an inspection of the tank by their company before they will fill it? If so do they charge you for the inspection?" quote We own our 500 g tank. One supplier will only fill tanks they lease out [Calgas]. I've been...

Not true here. I moved to this county in 1974, and there is no postal delivery except to the P. O. Box at the post office. We have to pay $160 a year to have the box, [small], and nothing is delivered to a home and that is true for the entire county. Additionally, the PO will not deliver [to...

I prefer less than 20%. In fact, I don't burn it if it's that high. You probably know this, but you should test the moisture on a fresh face of a newly-split piece. The end of the chunk will always test lower than inside the wood.

I have clamp-ons. Yes, they are great for some jobs. Takes five minutes to install, max. I use them for moving stuff around, such as crated stuff I have hauled home in the pickup bed. Largest thing was a 56" tool chest, heaviest a 900-lb. gun safe. Very handy for someone who does not have a lot...

We have Verizon MiFi which costs us $80 a month.... You gave us your speeds, how much bandwidth do you get for a month with your plan? We only get 15G. We pay out the nose for incredibly slow internet. Verizon is the only option here. We are on the list for Starlink, but I am reluctant to get...

If the easement was already there when the current owner [OP] purchased the property...don't see how compensation could be had now. Practically, that compensation should have been reflected in the purchase price. At least, that is what I expect the counter argument would be.

Third one is aviation engines

I normally fill all the feeders once a day; going on forty years. Past three weeks, I haven't refilled one. Yesterday, two chickadees and one woodpecker, finally, but none today so far. No idea.... Now the hummingbirds were around all summer until early Sept., which is when they leave per usual.

I live at 8500 ft MSL. None of my three Kubortas [normally aspirated] has had any problems due to the elevation. It does get cold here at times, and sometimes I've had to run the glow plug several cycles before the engine fuel would fire off. My previous two tractors had the type of glow plug...

We signed up a long time back, don't even remember when. No word. We currently use Verizon with a MiFi, only non-satellite svc available here. Tried satellite years ago, unbelievably poor. Verizon used to be "ok" but has gone downhill over the past three years. Often it is unusable these days...

Bought mine fall of 2019. Loader and tractor only plus new 7' replacement blade for my Land Pride rear blade [had a 6' which is too short for the 4701] Gave me a price of somewhere around 29K, but then I pointed out that I wanted the manual transmission, and that knocked off something, and I...

The plastic tank sounds good. I built my own above-ground 2250-gallon cistern; concrete pad, walls made of cinder block. With the time and labor it took me, plus the cost of the blockand hauling it all in, that plastic one sounds decent. I lined mine with a custom-made pool liner and it has been...

Friend has a Tacoma pickup with a skid plate, have to remove the plate to get the oil filter off. Not difficult to remove but takes a few minutes. He marked his oil filter with a marker pen, then next oil change took the truck to a quickie place. Back home, he pulled off the skid plate and the...

They have some good stuff. I purchased a gas heat stove on sale 20 yr. back and it's good quality. I also bought a set of tractor forks and they were not inexpensive and, again, quality. I was able to have them shipped to the store and avoided shipping costs. They closed their brick/mortar...

Way back when I was about 18, I was working for an east Tx farmer after school, this day running a Ford 4000 with a mower behind. My assignment was to mow this field. I was about the middle when I felt the first sting, and by the time I looked down at the back of my hand where it happened, I was...

Yep, two.

Mice can flatten themselves to just about the thickness of the skull, so any small crevice is a go for them.

Fewer than 20 hours on new tractor. Twice in the last two weeks, temperature outdoors below 20 F., after about fifteen minutes of operation, engine bogged down and I had to shut down the tractor. Second time this happened, temperature outside 14 F., red engine warning light came on. I...
