Thanks everyone for the input. I was fishing for answers here and I think I got it. Battery powered!!!

Has anyone ever hooked a DC-AC inverter to a tractor for running things like pole saw, hedge clipper, ect..... Was looking at approximately 2000w inverter to provide max 15amps power.

Here is my Kubota L2800 pulling a 12" 2-bottom plow. The ground hasn't been farmed in at least 10+ years and I'm running in 4th low. It's turning and burning.

Back in 2013 when I was looking for a tractor to buy I saw a decked out Kubota B3200 on Craigslist for $4500 when they were selling for $15-20K. The ad said it was in Memphis and gave an address, but the images of the address (which was in the hood) didn't match the images in the ad when pulled...

I dislike it when someone says they are "filming" when they are using a video process and when they say they are videotaping when they are using the cell phone on a camera (that obviously doesn't have any tape in it at all). I also despise the media when they talk about "U.S. fighter jets" when...

Maybe those are the F4-U Corsair commemorative gull-wing blades.

I am trying to replace the gearbox on my Countyline 72" finish mower, but I'm having trouble getting the main pulley off the output shaft. Anyone have any tips or tricks for getting the pulley off? There's millions of instructional videos on Youtube, but I haven't been able to find one about this.

I ordered a new gearbox for my 72" Countyline Rear Finish Mower from AgriSupply. I was so busy paying attention to the in and out shafts of the gearbox that I didn't take note of the ratio. The gearbox that comes on the mower is a 1:1.19. What I ordered and received is a 1:1.47. Can I install...

Yesterday's tilling of this year's garden area. I have a GoPro I can mount on my right fender. (With musical accompaniment)

I decided that the single tines with the rubber between the cup and the tine was bending too much. I changed them out for the double tine rake teeth. Went from this: To this: I raked some today and it seems like it is doing better. Now I just need to fabricate something to...

Here is my Kubota L2800 with my Ferguson 2 X 12 plow. Those are not the original coulters. According to the manual they are supposed to be 15" (the old ones were worn down to about 11") and the closest I could get were 15.5". It seems I either plow when it's too wet or when it's too dry, but...

I never would have thought of such a thing - A leaf baler. I wonder what they do with them. Compost? Fuel for energy or heating? Or just a landfill? What other odd machines are out there?

FYI - John Deere recalls lawn tractors due to crash hazard. Click here for the story. Complete list of serial numbers here. Lets be safe out there.

I ducked, the ROPS didn't.

Not even close.

Tis the time of year for county fairs. The local one here has a photo contest and I entered 14 pictures and got a few ribbons. I thought I'd share. If you have any please share. I received a 1st place ribbon for this one. Lot 2611 Farm (anything that makes you think farm) Another 1st...

Clyde, our 3-leggged Labrador mix is a champ at toad hunting. He just loves to chase them down, sling 'em, get the old foamey mouth, and kill 'em. Last year while recovering from the leg amputation he was wearing the "cone of shame" to keep him from licking his wounds and tearing out the...

Throwback Thursday Pictures. First picture is from December 1987 when I was stationed at San Vito Air Station, Italy. They still used horses. Second picture is from April 1959. My big brother is the one on the tractor. My father was on leave in his hometown of Bradford, TN up from John...

It seems the pine needle rake subject has come up multiple times this year. sixdogs and I always like to show off our builds. Mine is built with angle iron, perforated iron tube, hay rake teeth, nuts & bolts, and various sized bushings. All parts came from Lowes, Tractor Supply, and Rural King.

Seat time the other day was mowing the yard or more like knocking the tops off of all the green onions growing. Also took the wife to a nice roomy flat area and got her some seat time running the mower.

Some I found on the internet. They may have been posted before. Don't know. Anyway, here they are.

Got a paint job on my pine needle rake.

Here is the engine operation pages from my L2800 manual. Maybe this will help.

I have a King Kutter Professional 48" tiller. I don't know what the difference is between the two. Here is a picture I took that shows plowed ground and tilled ground and a video.

Finally got my 3-point hitch painted and a stand put on my rake.

Broke my garden last week. I also tilled mine today, but that was after having to take a side trip to the local Farmers Co-op. Seems my left front decided to come unsealed from the rim. I was wondering why I was turning the wheel and I kept going straight. My little air pump couldn't put air...

Could it have anything to do with the 3-point hitch lowering speed. That's the knob under the seat. Could it be in the lock position?

I know there are plenty of plowing videos, but this is mine. Between the snow and the rain I finally got hooked up and plowed where we're going to have the garden. Put new coulters on my 60 year old plow and it made all the difference. Anyone else got their plowing done/started?

Is it like this one?

I wonder if it needs outriggers.

Freak ice/snow storm here starting Sunday night and through yesterday. There was/is 1/4" of snow on top of about 3" of solid sleet. Spent time today clearing my driveway some with my box blade. It was my first time using it for snow so I sort of had to figure out how to use it. Seems like...

I made this to get up pine needles. I guess technically it is a dethatcher. It did rake up a big pile of pine needles. Probably have about $200 in parts, plus my labor, and the satisfaction that I built this. Overall it weighs in at about 60lbs. The dethatcher that's linked at $269 + free...

About 1/4" of snow on top of 2.5" of sleet. At 15 degrees I'm debating whether to stay inside or at some time fire up the tractor and play in the driveway.

Last July I got a decent deal on a Ferguson 12-AO-40 2-bottom plow. I found and downloaded the user manual and adjusted the coulters to the proper distance. The times I used it I had issues with roots and stems and stuff clogging the coulter, stem, and fork assembly. Then I found and...

I've steadily worked, weather permitting, on the mods for my yard/pine needle rake. I added tines to get the spacing to every 3 inches and built a 3pt hitch so I could raise it higher to get it out of the pile of needles I just raked. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7...

Just finished a modification of the above rake. I made my own 3 pt hitch and added more tines. Now I have to wait for the ground to dry before I can use it. This is strictly for pine needles around my house. No rocks and no roots, hopefully.

Today would be perfect for replacing the water pump, though it might be an ICE PUMP by now!!!:laughing:

Clyde came back from a trek in the woods with this offering earlier in the fall.

Bunch of bull! Good place for this joke: Three bulls heard the rancher was bringing another bull onto the ranch. First Bull: "I've been here five years. I'm not giving this new bull any of my 100 cows." Second Bull: "I've been here three years and have earned my right to 50 cows. I'm keeping...

Just after telling my niece yesterday that the only place selling Win 7 laptops was Dell I got that very same email from HP also.

Maybe the material for the crotch area is a different type that produces less friction as the inner thighs rub against each other. Or it could be to just show off the crotch - like this: Or

Here are the pictures that just showed up as links in the post above.

Back in December I saw this thread Good landscape rake - cheap. To summarize, if you don't want to read this thread, member RedDirt built a landscape rake from hay rake replacement teeth, a piece of pipe, and some angle iron. I decided I could do something similar and attach it to my King...

Nephew posted this on my facebook page. What in the world kinda plow is this and what are they doing?

I wonder if there's a correlation......

Here's a few things from our house and yard. The tree. The yard decorations. The skeleton gets to stay in the outhouse. A video of the yard decorations.

An alternative that has been out for a few years is the Beretta CX4 Storm. It is compatible with 92FS magazines and you can get up to a 30 round magazine from Beretta or a 32 rounder from ProMag.

Didn't think about this one.

If you live near water you might want to watch out for this 1/20 ADMIRAL GRAF SPEE MODEL or maybe a U-Boat.

Could you use some wagon side stake brackets? Drill holes to hold wooden stakes and just put a top rail on them. For stability you could cross brace with wood or cable tensioner.

A local Rural King has them marked down. Online price is $539.93 and the store has them marked down to $385.94 Any thoughts on if this is a good tiller? If this is a good tiller this seems like a good deal. It has a Briggs engine and I think I read somewhere they're made my Husqvarna...

We have a railroad track about 200 yards from the house. I was exploring today and found this alongside the track. It looks like a PTO shaft going into a box. It looks like at one time there were hoses that came out up to a track junction and might have greased it in some way. I don't know...

Don't know if anyone has posted this one or not, but I'm sure the cow isn't too comfortable.

Last Sunday night I was in the hot tub relaxing. I was getting up to move to another spot and saw a four legged creature in tan & dun colors trotting between my shed and the patio (where the tub is). It was heading toward the patio toward where Clyde's outside bowl is and instantly my mind...

These pictures were taken on September 10, 2001 at the 164th Airlift Wing, Memphis IAP, TN. This B-17 had flown in for an upcoming 54th anniversary of the Air Force. It is not the original Memphis Belle. At the time the 164th was flying C-141Bs. Little did we know what would be happening...

Just comparing the stocks. English straight vs. Standard Pistol Grip. Why does one person prefer Kubota and one John Deere, or another Kioti? Its all about preference. Some may like the straight stock.

We moved into our house in late May. Around mid June Clyde came through the weeds and acted like he was home. After a few days we decided he was right. At the time I guessed him to be anywhere from 12-15 months old. Still a lot of puppy in him. Here is a video of Clyde running in from...

On a similar note. More than once my ROPS has been a branch/limb trimmer. This one was half eaten out by ants and broke. End result was a scratch on my back about 3-4 inches long and one about the same size on the hood of the tractor. Glad you ducked!

Welcome to the forum!:welcome: I spent two years (1986-88) in the Puglia region between Brindisi and San Vito dei Normanni at San Vito Air Station. Land around there was a little flatter and at the time there were a lot that still farmed with horses. Picking olives Farm land If...

Up until May this was my manure spreader. It did a good job. Too good. I moved.

This is just my brother, but this is about 1959 and he was 2years old on my Granddaddy's tractor. I have no idea what happened to the tractor. I was still 4 years away from being born and my daddy was in the Air Force stationed in Texas at this time.

I bought this L2800 from a private seller in Mississippi. It had 4 hours on it. He said that something came up and he needed to sell. Its interesting that it has the next model (L3200) FEL on it. I guess he wanted a loader and that's what they had on the lot. This is the first yard mowing...

There is a dish in England called "Toad in the Hole" which consists of Yorkshire Pudding baked around bangers (or sausages as we know them). Maybe this was the inspiration. Toad in the hole

Did the paving stone and 4X4 to brace in the middle. I dug out a level spot for the paving stone and left it about 1/4inch lower than the 4X4. Then I used a 2X4 to lever it up while my wife wedged the 4X4 in a little. Final placement was accomplished with the flat end of a single bit axe.

Here is a decoration I made for out fall display. You could also invert the dirt spike and have a lit up pumpkin for your child to carry to Trick-or-Treat with. It could be the thing that keeps them seen on a dark night. Anyone else got some easy stuff they made?

A little tractor lean-to project with a photo album from Facebook. If you're not a Facebooker I'll post a few pictures if you want to see them. I needed something to park my tractor under so I could get my truck in the carport come winter time.

Here's another one. $10k tractor for how much???

Here is a more serious project from a couple of years ago. This plant stand was mainly to prove that I could use a miter box, but turned out okay. Also, you can't see them, but on the bottom are wheels that came off a mobile printer stand. The idea was that on a smooth floor it would roll...

It ain't much. Made from old pallet wood for the "outdoors look," but a miniature outhouse for fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas outdoor decorations.

This is mainly in regards to a box blade, but when it comes to the implement limits outlined in my owners manual should I pay more attention to the limit in inches or the limit on weight? For example: I have a Kubota L2800 and the manual says for a box blade the limit is 52 inches max cutting...

Picked up this plow for $175. The plate is painted over, but its a Ferguson and the best I can make out its a 12-AO-40 with SN 6173. Any ideas on age? I hooked it to my Kubota L2800 and plowed a little bit with it yesterday. It needs adjustment, but all the bolts and nuts look pretty rusted...
