I have to move a shed for a guy tomorrow morning. It's a rather small building, I'm planing on lifting it a putting it on rollers and simply pushing it with th tractor

I don't see any reason why you couldn't carry four 250 gallon totes on a deck over trailer. 1000 gallons of water weighs 8,345 lbs. I would not hesitate to haul that in 4 totes on a deck over trailer. Now if your talking a single tank that's a different story because liquid crawlers up the sides...

I had to cut the vegetation back along the rail road track in the industrial park again.

My job box will fit perfect behind the spare tire with a 1/2 inch to spare. I am so pleased with this trailer.

We are having our tax free weekend here in Massachusetts. I think I'm going to pick up a winch for the trailer at tractor supply or northern tool. Either a 6000 or 8000 lb winch. Any thoughts or opinions.

These are my before pictures with my pickup and my Dads trailer and my B7800

I have been wanting to buy a deck over trailer for some time now to haul my B7800 around. The trailer was a custom build and the customer backed out of the deal after it was built. It is perfect for what I'm looking for in a trailer. I'm haveing a few alterations made and it should be ready...

I walked into tractor supply today and was surprised to see a 52 RatchetRake in the yard. I called my dad and told him I was going to pick it up for him. His B is a dedicated backhoe so he only has the loader to work with. I was shocked to see the RatchetRake, I herd they can't be found...

I put my gopro on the tractor while I towed it home yesterday. I threw some music behind it. It's kinda differentThe ride home on Vimeo

I spent almost $10,000 in the last 2 weeks working on my Rail Side to keep my track in top shape. My cars average about 160,000 lbs and do a number on the rail pushing into the curve. I'm taking down a bunch of trees and clearing as much as I can to keep the area as dry as possible.

I have a b7610, was out working with is and it was working fine and then the loader wouldn't drop with pressure. When I push the joystick the loader doesn't mover. It will lift fine dump and curl fine but will not drop under hydraulic pressure. It will only drop if I push it into float and then...

Well this is what I came up with for my dads Tractor

My dad bought a B7610 and has a little trouble getting on and off his tractor. I can make a step for it and it's looking like I'm going to have to. I was just wondering if their is a factory step made for the Kubota B7610 that he can just order

I just picked up a new set up for my 06 LT 1050. This has been a fantastic tractor but thought I would add the bagger system to it this year since my sweeper seized up. I'm hoping it will wok out well

I have to say I love this firearm, it is under 30 ounces with the scandium frame. This is my full time carry. A 45 is very comforting! I put 50 rounds through it last week but I have been so busy I havn't had much time for the range. It carries and conceals well for a commander size 1911...

I started burning E85 in my new truck right out of the gate. I know there is a mileage loss but I have a larger interest in thumbing my nose at big oil. I am researching making my own ethanol, I'm pretty sure I have the ability to do that.

I have created video with many different cameras over the years but the Gopro Hero is my favorite because of all the ways to mount the camera. The MP4 format is not the easiest to deal with at least in my experience. I have since bought an IPad2 and with the $5 iMovie app that all changed. I...

Im going to sit at my drawing board this weekend and design a light affordable snow cab for my B7800. This will be a snow cab and not nessesaraly a perminant cab but who knows. The criteria for this design and build will be something that anyone with modest skills can build as low a cost as...

I'm getting ready to do some maintenance clearing on my rail side through our industrial park. I have ground level access in & out of my warehouse but not at my compound.

I had one of my employees and good friend give me a nice 10'X16' shed. I found a guy to move it for me for $5 bucks a sq foot within 20 miles. Not a bad deal.

My start relay is acting up on my Hydrostatic peddles, Im not sure where the switch is but it doesn't want to start after you shut it off. rocking the peddles sometimes works. The tractor is kept inside but I haven't used it much the last year. Any thought or suggestions.

It's getting to be that time of year when we are thinking about dragging out the snow gear and tweaking for winters assault. So what do you use, how deep do you do you get. I am in Eastern Massachusetts and we can get around 24" in a good storm but it is usually 8" at a time This is my go...
