Man, that was a long time ago. I think it was a 327. It was rough when I got it around 75 and I didn't have it long.

I've always used the Mobil Delvac 1300. I think the oil pictured is a step down from the 1300 and is why it's got a lower price.

M first vehicle was a 1967 El Camino. I wasn't that impressed with it.

I store my tractors in a barn with no electricity and is some distance from any electricity. I've never heard of a forklift stored in a barn with no power.

I was a Police Officer for 30 years and I probably lock and secure keys more than the regular Joe. I remember one morning we got a call of a stolen vehicle from a gas station. The victim had left his engine running with the doors unlocked and a 17 year old kid had jumped in and took off. He was...

You don't need a tractor at any of those places. Where do you put your pole barn?

I've still got my 6 speed stick in my F350.

You've got to expect that from somebody born with a silver spoon. Buy an electric car or ride a bicycle. No in between.

You can drink a beverage with my zt country clipper. You do need a right hand to control the single joystick. It also comes in handy when you need to move low hanging limbs while your mowing

One summer I had to go to Houston. It seemed like it was still 90 at midnight. I never understood how them Texans could handle the heat. I'll pass.

I put a steel roof on my house and that took care of the fungus that I used to have with asphalt on the north side roof.

That must be a big van. I usually only go 5 high with my flatbed trailer. I used to put about 50 bales on my pickup. I don't think you could put more in a van.

You're good as long as the tractor is plugged into the diesel powered generator pulled by the tractor.

I pull my 12' batwing finish mower while my wife trims with the 60" Country Clipper zt. We can do the 4 acres in about an hour.

The best one is the one that doesn't need parts.

Not too many people swim in Lake Superior. I tried it once and came out a popsicle. I heard that Edmund Fitzgerald drowned up there though.

Probably cheaper to buy the eggs in the store. They're still about $1.50/dozen here and you don't have to buy any overpriced chicken feed.

Sounds like you might as well sell your tractor. Never lived in town. The best neighbors are no neighbors.

Why do you need to fix it. I don't need to fix my 2019 Goldwing, I just ride it. You got the wrong bike if you need to fix it.

I've never seen a tractor that didn't have a way to lock the brakes. I would avoid tractors that don't have a parking brake. I remember even our old Oliver tractors built around 1940 had a way to lock the brakes on.

I didn't see any Yanmars there.

Will they pull a 20 row corn planter? If not, they would not be practical for some serious farming.

$2.40 + .50 processing.

We paid $2.90 that included processing for a 1/4 last week. I do give the farmer that raised it some of my hay.

Now we know why your name is snob.

This list could pertain to 200 hp tractors and bigger. Most of the guys farming 2000 acres and more around here are using Deere, Case and NH. I did see a new Fendt yesterday. It was probably a 400 hp tractor.

How about cotton, since it was a cotton field.

They make trucks too.

I use a OTA DVR and don't watch the commercials.

What did the electric company say about your idea? It sounds like you want to run pipe above the cable that they are responsible for, so they should have some input.

This is what I use. It's 12 ft. wide. I mow at about 3".

Cell phone would work.

As long as these overpriced items are being sold, the prices will only go up.

What do you do with your acreage? What is on your land? Is there enough income from the land to pay the property taxes?

I still lift my 6 gallon jugs up to my shoulder to feel my tractor. The tank is behind the seat with no place to set it, so I hold it until it's empty. I need the exercise and I'm only 63.

That would be tough for us since we've never lived in a town.

Sounds good as long as the electric company doesn't object.

UF cable is made to handle moisture. Conduit is not used to keep it away from water.

I want to see the video of the dog making the deposit. He must be big.

The problem with reporting it to so many different agencies is that they will all pass the buck and claim that the other Dept. can handle it and nobody will do anything. Do you live in the town limits or outside city limits?

We put up high tensile electric wire in two five acre pastures 24 years ago. The wire is still in good condition but the posts are starting to show their age. A Pileated woodpecker tore up some of the posts and I am going to start replacing them. I doubt if you can find anything more cost...

Is that still the only option you have. That seems slow for todays interweb.

I saw an article that stated our Senator had to help in a situation like yours. https://www.southbendtribune.com/story/opinion/columns/2022/03/23/customer-service-irs-has-been-abysmal-recent-years/9454565002/

I've been told that the county Prosecutor has the most power in the county but the Prosecutors I've known were too lazy to be any threat.

It sounds like Obamacare hasn't solved our medical problems. I've always had insurance through work but my sister's family has a farm and said that the price of their insurance went up considerably with less coverage after obamacare went into effect.

That may be changing when interest rates go up.

Don't forget 2 quarts of ice cream shrunk to 1.5 quarts.

I got my diverter valve and switch from Summit. https://summit-hydraulics.com/

Exactly, I would hope you wouldn't go bankrupt if you have insurance. I've been lucky, only had a broken nose(still got the horse), torn mcl and a herniated disk that healed, so I don't have much experience with insurance.

I've got a NH 3040 with the same joystick. I bought the diverter valve and am about to put it together. Do you remember if the hoses with the couplings coming out of the old valves along with the hoses coming out of the metal tubing along the top arm of the loader are jic or npt fittings?

If they work I assume they have insurance. So I guess there's not much sense in having insurance if you're going to go bankrupt anyway.

From my experience, Postal Inspector won't do much other than large amounts of mail theft and mail fraud along with investigating their employees. Had a case once where a couple stole mail from about 20 mailboxes and immediately forged a check from the stolen mail to buy a pizza. I arrested them...

Hopefully they're not selling much at those prices and maybe the prices will come down some.

Do you have to be pretty close to a cell tower to get the internet plans from cell companies. I noticed that none show as available when I put my address in on their sites. I can use my cell phone if I'm outside or near a window.

I remember when I was a kid, Dad decided to build a 60'x40' barn. We found some nice maple trees in the woods. We then cut and hauled them to a local sawmill for the lumber. The lumber was full 2x4's for the studs. I remember when we put up the studs and siding that you could not put a nail into...

The only good thing I see is that I've got an excuse for not mowing the yard.

Around here they bill people that don't want to work and they eventually write it off as a loss when they don't get paid. That's why a band-aid costs $50.00 for everybody else.

We learned that in high school.

I remember many years ago, seeing a sign that showed the amount of snow that accumulated. I remember the sign was vertical and it showed about 300". Is that sign still up there.

The government wants inflation. They get more taxes that way.

What are you going to plant?

We've found that an Instant Pot works the best for boiling eggs.

I'm not sure it would be cheaper if labor of laying block is considered.

The silly thing is that the guy that put those silly bike lanes in is now in charge of the country's transportation.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

I don't know where the op is but the roof on your building looks like it might not be the best for areas that might get a snowstorm with a couple feet of snow

That was back when more people had to go to work earlier than the current working person apparently. Some of us still have to be at work at 06:00, so we go to bed earlier than many of this crowd. It sounds like a lot of people now don't get out of bed until 08:00.

I remember when our governor promoted changing our clocks in 2005. He made statements that Indiana would see financial gains with the time changes. I guess they left me out of the loop because I never got a pay increase due to the time changes that started in 2006. Of course I knew better than...

Many large operations milk 3 times a day now, around the clock.

I'll be in bed. 4 a.m. comes too early.

Yippee, I get to start work in the dark again.

DLT started in 2006 here.

Kids around here will be waiting for the bus in the dark tomorrow morning. They were in the daylight last week. I remember the good old days when we didn't change our clocks.

I would like to see time set so at high noon, the sun is actually at it's highest point. Around here it seems like it's a couple hours off. That makes too much sense.

We have DLT(Daylight Losing Time) here.

You must repaint the buckets after you use them.

That will be on his next video.

If they were pros, they would be in Hollywood.

Your post brought me back to this PSA that everybody had to see at least once. Thankfully I listened to my Dad when I was a kid.

Our river just got back into it's riverbanks. It had escaped for a few weeks. Hopefully it will dry out now.

Should be good for you or you could go to NAPA and get a 1356 filter. It's the same thing.

I guess you missed this . I'm sure this one will gets closed also.

I've seen a lot of new laptops that don't even have an ethernet port.

And then they drove home

Rising fuel prices are driving inflation along with the rapidly rising federal budget deficit.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon explains it all!

It looks like you only have 5 acres. I would make a daily routine of walking your perimeter and eventually you will find somebody or evidence of somebody frequenting the area. Usually if a trespasser sees activity they will go elsewhere.

It seems that competition is not as much a factor as it used to be. Could be some collusion with the oil companies.

It all depends on what direction the political wind is blowing and what day of the week it is.

We all knew it anyway.

They fertilize it also.

TSC has a goal to get customers to buy their poultry and then you'll come back to buy their overpriced chicken feed. You won't save any money by growing your own chickens/eggs.

We've got barn cats and they multiply about the same speed that they disappear. I think coons get some of the young ones. We do have a great horned owl nesting nearby.

It looks like wheat is the thing to grow. Record prices.

That explains why you didn't put your location in your profile.

You just admitted in post #99 that you were wrong. I guess I'm confused. You also admitted that you posted something political that is a violation of this site. I guess you're special.

I've seen posts deleted that were less political. I'm sure this won't be touched though.

I think our electric company knows when our electric goes out before I do with their smart meter.

I heard the Ukraines are filling up your country.

The real question is what color would their tractor be and what oil would they use.

We are fortunate that they weren't able to print the trillions more that they wanted to.

I had a 56x40x14 building with an overhang built several years ago and skipped the gutters with no problems. I did put a 10 ft. piece of gutter over my service door to keep the water from splashing from the cement apron onto my door. I have 20 ft. doors at both ends so no water from the roof...

I used aluminum initially and needed some more so I tried some steel crimps because they are cheaper and they rust quite a bit after about a year. The aluminum are better but more costly. I got mine at TSC.

What's a rattlesnake. I've never seen one of those.

I'll be reducing it to every couple of weeks. I'm sure glad I don't fertilize like some.

Yeah, but he's got a nice tractor though.

Some of the non-citizens paid in using somebody else's social security number, which causes some real problems come tax return time. I'm sure the IRS appreciates their donations.

Sounds like you had organic fried chicken. I remember when I was a kid, my parents had friends that lived in the city. They would buy live chickens from us occasionally to butcher. They slaughtered and processed the chickens in their basement. I often thought their basement probably looked like...

I'm not following how you can say it's been too warm with 11" of ice. I talked to a guy the other day and he said this has been one of the better ice fishing seasons.

They're both better than a dumb ash.

We had 6" of snow yesterday right after we got 1 1/4" of rain. The river behind my house is now taking over some of my real estate after the rain melted most of our previous snow.

Better yet, own all flat land and farm it all.

Most newer tractors have hydrostatic power steering and the steering wheel will not remain in the same position. Your profile does not show what tractor you have so it's unknown if you have such a tractor. You can still put a knob on, just be aware that it will not remain at the same position.

We don't all have 9 kids. That would be a big factor on how much money you need to support the home. A couple with no children and two incomes would obviously need much less than a family of 11.

Years ago I had been mowing with my NH 1530 near the house and shut it off. I went into the house and when I came back out, she wouldn't start. My Lab pup was lying down by the tractor, looking guilty. I looked under the tractor and saw wires hanging from the pto sensor. The dog had chewed the...

My dog loves to kill groundhogs and bring them up to the house. I usually take them down the road and dump them in the cornfield. Not many groundhogs on my property now.

Maybe he has some first hand experience about ice fishing in a shanty with a prostitute, after all he is a politician.

Just sit in your living room and when you hear something start shooting through your ceiling. Seems like the thing to do. You may need a roofer.

I've never heard of any around here in northern Indiana. Distribution and Range The black widow spiders can be found in all the continents except Antarctica. In North America, the black widow spiders can be found in the United States and Canada. In the US, they are found in all the four...

I never understood the subdivision logic. They dump fertilizer on the lawn and then take it away by sucking the clippings off.

Turn it off

Thank goodness no. That makes our snow and 0 degree temperatures feel better.

There are shipping benefits also.

I've seen one lane of a busy street converted to a bike lane. Seems like the bikers using that lane should have a license plate so that they would pay their share of the road. The funny thing is I've never seen a bike using that lane.

Yep

Crickets

I haven't.

They probably are, maybe even with a chauffeur. While I drive a hybrid that gets 40 mpg.

I guess I'm missing out. I use an ad blocker on my browser and see no ads so if somebody is sending me ads, I don't know it.

Doesn't your wife wonder what you're doing with all those blankets?

I was talking to my wife about needing some extra cash to go out to eat and my printer started printing currency. I always wondered how the Federal govt. did it. And then I woke up.

Probably the same people that think us poor people should not drive a ICE car because we're destroying the planet while they're using thousands of gallons of petroleum to fly around needlessly.

It beats living in town!

As the world turns.

How about contacting a lawyer. They are always happy to take your money for advice.

I always thought it got colder out there. Fortunately we've got a couple of months to go. We usually have about 20 huumers between 6 feeders. It did make it above freezing the last couple of days.

When I was a kid it seemed like there were cigarette butts everywhere, now not so many butts but still too many beer cans along my road. Several years ago somebody dumped a Meth. lab down the road, now nobody cooks because mexican meth is cheap.

I've been using the app for years. No complaints and no ads.

So you're using the app or a browser?

I have no ads on my TractorByNet app using my Android phone. What is being used by people with the problems?

I remember around 1969, we were picking corn with an ear corn picker. My dad was driving the tractor and I was riding in the wagon. A friend of my father was a Doctor that still liked farming and would help routinely. On that day the Dr. was walking alongside the picker while we were moving. I...

This works on my New Holland.

One factor in using Netflix is that there are no Ads. Does Discovery have ads?

Not yet. But it will slow down eventually.

Where are you at? Putting some kind of location in your profile would be nice. That's a lot of snow for Florida.

That's why we aint seen nothing yet. It's going to get worse.

Is that an alcoholic beverage there? If it is I don't think that is a good combination.

We have too much manufacturing industry around here and as I said earlier that leaves little for the lower paying jobs.

Around here we have self checkouts because they can't find workers to run the registers. Other industry is paying more so that leaves a shortage at the retailers.

Not much ice here. About a foot of snow though.

Some would say you're not paying enough taxes to support your justice system, but I thought you paid more taxes up there.

I think it might be better if the moderator did not participate in the problem thread. Any bias by the moderator always complicates things.

How is the RV this time of year? I'm afraid the pipes would have froze around here as we were about -5 about a week ago.

Now that's a big storm. We're only supposed to get about 15".

Check engine.

I blame current policies of printing money and spending like there is no tomorrow for the current inflationary prices of just about everything.

Where do your locals take a steer or hog to have it butchered?

You're hanging out here and there's plenty of us old folks around here.

And what does that have to do with tractors? See post 98.

And what does that have to do with tractors? See post 98.

Splitting elm is a beech.

I thought it was for blind deer hunters.

It works for me. I didn't know they had grass in NM.

Glyphosate only kills foliage that it contacts. It can't kill patches in your lawn unless you spray those patches. Roots are not a factor. You can spray roots of a tree and it won't do a thing.

Glyphosate is your friend.

It happens much more often if you park it outside. A shelter would be great for your tractor.

I had a leak like that near one of my fittings and I tightened the fitting and it stopped. I assume you already tried that.

Yep. The robins around here hang out in my woods back of the house all winter.

Only?

I guess you didn't have much luck hunting? It doesn't look like it was used much.

My sister's family milks about 1200 cows. They don't need to buy much fertilizer because they are able to fertilize their fields with the manure. Milk prices had not been good for several years but they are still at it.

I don't see any expansion joints cut into your floor. Did they do that later or don't they do that down there?

I bought mine from the location below. That's $70 less than what Amazon is selling it for. https://www.mfgsupply.com/chainsaw/chainsawgrinder/chainsawgrinderg1012/g-1012.html

I never could figure out how a Corgi could jump in your truck.

I've got the I've got that Granberg 12v model that he rated highly, but you can get it much cheaper someplace besides Amazon. I believe I paid about $80 about 5 years ago. I sharpen mine in my vice on the bench and use a portable jump box to power it.

Around here the bald eagle population is increasing and I didn't realize that eagles would eat roadkill until I saw one on a dead deer a while back. With the buzzards gone now, they don't have much competition.

Around here they report the forecasted highs/lows and then state what wind chills could be. It's not hard to sort it out.

Wait until you see the babies jump 15' out of the tree where their nest was onto the ground. That is a weird thing that I've seen.

My wife and I stack about 400 bales(one cutting) by hand for our horses. It comes from the field that I have. The farmer down the road makes it and he gets the rest and sells it to Amish in the area. He uses a collector so he doesn't have to handle too much. I'm 63 and I do notice it gets less...

We only have Turkey Vultures up here and they're gone now. They usually come back in March. I've heard of Black Vultures that are further south and I'm wondering if that is what TM is talking about. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black_Vulture/photo-gallery/305292761

Wow. I've never tried weed, but I'm pretty sure I'd rather have steak than weed.

Never heard of copper drain pipes. That would be some real money.

I guess I need to figure out what my credit score is. We also have no debts and pay off cc immediately. What's the easiest way to find your score?

I'm sure the infrastructure money will find a good home though.

I've got a Red Jacket 1hp pump in my well. It's been there 28 years. I haven't had any problems yet.

My 56x40x14 with concrete built about 10 years cost less than half what a new truck costs now. I built the barn and still have my old truck.

Where is that?

Then prices would climb through the roof.

Do you know why that is? Are they drilling for new homes or are old wells/pumps going bad? Not much new home construction around here now and I don't know of problems with existing wells.

I had a 56x40x14 building built about 12 years ago and was going to skip the concrete floor but thought that I could afford it better at that time than when I would be retired. With prices now, I'm glad I didn't wait. You mentioned mud in a dirt floor and I still have some dirt in a horse barn...

I use this one. No complaints. https://www.amazon.com/Granberg-G1012XT-PRECISION-GRINDER-12V/dp/B002GCZC3A

Bobcat

This guy was moving around late.

That's why wound up with geothermal. Unfortunately we have to work away from home and can't feed a woodburner while we are gone.

Will wages come back down also. Don't think so. Higher wages are feeding inflation.

I have a NH 1530, which is an older but similar model and the temperature gauge stopped working a couple of years ago. I keep the radiator clean and flushed the radiator so I know it is not overheating. I have not figured out why it stopped working. One of these days I will try to analyze it...
