I don’t think wind farms or solar farms really look pretty but I also don’t think they will seriously devalue the surrounding ground. Like someone else said, there are several things that could be much worse. A lot of counties have wind and solar ordinances. Through my work as a land surveyor...

The ad says it has new hydrological hoses though.

I’ve looking for a good deal on Facebook Market Place for a while. It’s probably no accident that as you scroll with an iPad that it’s easy to accidentally pick an item a view it. There have been a lot of prom dresses for sale. The more I pick one by accident the more of them I see.

First picture is about 15 miles south of me. Probably where a tornado was just getting started. This farm had another bin damaged also, their house had hail damage as did vehicles. The bins that were empty were damaged, one full one was not. This next picture is about 25 miles south east of...

This is one I have, a small propane tank screws in the back to heat it up. It works good but I have so many trees around it seemed to have a limited affect unless it was a dead calm. I haven’t used it in years. I got it at the local farm store and the chemical were available there, I was...

Several tornados in our area. Sounds like an area near Lewistown Illinois got hit the worst, injuries but no deaths.

20 gull wing Mercedes?

Weird, my IPhone 12 mini has been pretty flawless. I’m not sure I want anything bigger.

I’ve popped them out of the ground with a spade a couple of times, sometimes I injure them doing this sometimes I don’t. If you pop them out they almost immediately start going back underground in what seems like a swimming motion.

My wife worked for the rural telephone co op and they saw the writing on the wall of old fashioned phone service dying out and got into fiber optic and the internet. We’ve had fiber optic for several years now. My wife retired but my son works for them now and we have 1 gig now at no cost...

In my area gravel is usually granite. They remove the “cap rock” which is usually limestone or other soft rock and throw it away. I agree with the moisture is coming up through the gravel. You get certain days, usually in the spring where you get a sudden warm day and everything just gets wet.

We use Pelican cases for our survey equipment. I always remember guys from one of our other offices jokingly calling the penguin cases.

Illinois is worse, going by the DOT numbers. Gravel with fines is CA6, CA7 is gravel with no fines. CA standing for coarse aggregate, FA being fine aggregate, more like sand.

I have found carpenter ants in just about every dead tree at my place. From reading about the oak wilt, the ants get in there because the tree is sick but aren’t the cause of them dying.

I wouldn’t mess with leveling the pad unless there is a specific reason. The slope you have will let the water runoff.

Oak wilt the leaves will start to turn brown, maybe just part of the tree. In my trees it kills it pretty quick, say two years.

A picture of my ballast box, you can see how this counter acts weight out front.

Largeone, you are correct. Say the rear tires come slightly off the ground, then the entire weight of everything is on the front axle. If you use enough ballast though, you are taking weight off the front axle. I can tell when I have my ballast box on. If I have a bucket full and drive the...

Not related to tge original question but I buy a phone on size, I have an IPhone 12 mini. Not small but it is smaller. Years ago I tried different phone cases for my belt, it seemed they would fall off my belt, the phone would fall out, or they would catch on something. I carry my phone in...

I agree #2 would be best. Depending on conditions #1 might be fine also, you don‘t always need fabric.

You know those black boxes on airplanes? They almost always survive the crash.

I’m not sure exactly how much weight I have in my ballast box, probably in the 500 to 600 pound range. I think my manual says 700 pounds. I also have loaded tires but that isn’t really counter balance.

I personally wouldn’t get the kit. I got the kit for mine and it came with the wrong air filter. I’m not sure the kit is really priced lower. Green Tractor Parts is a web site you can price things out at, oil filter, hydraulic filter, and low viscosity Hy Gard.

I have 2 gas cans, ones 2 gallons and has 2 stroke oil in it, the other is 5 gallons. In my case it would be difficult to fuel the saw with my 5 gallon can.

I got another one today. This one was just zig zagging back and forth in about a 40’x40’ area in my yard. I rolled it flat and then then yesterday found it’s main path and set the trap.

I have used Amsoil 2 stroke oil quite a bit. It’s worked fine in everything else. I did rebuild my MS250 that I showed a picture above, new jug and piston, about a $100.

Same here, we are right in the middle of it predicted for Tuesday.

Nice to hear from you, I hope you are doing well. Hang in there.

I had a Stihl MS250 with similar damage, maybe even worse. The general consensus was it was run on straight gas. It’s certainly possible but I was never convinced that’s what did it.

I’d rather live in your area, further from Chicago and milder winters. I went to school in Carbondale and so did my daughter.

I’m a ways away, I live outside of Macomb, Illinois.

I thought yours was a different thread but it is similar. It’s looking pretty good to me.

I hate to sound a little ignorant, but someone was also doing a bridge and found out it was in a wetland and quit. I’m assuming it was a similar situation as yours but not you?

A lot if the schools in our area, west central Illinois, didn’t have school yesterday for safeties sake. Everything missed us but there were tornadoes and hail in Illinois.

We were right in the middle of the 5 area, 5 being the area likely to get tornados, hail and high winds. It almost entirely missed us, maybe a tenth of an inch of rain. I know north and south of us had tornado warnings. The Quincy Illinois news site had pictures of large hail and broken...

It got rained on for years, a few times won’t hurt it. Getting it off the ground is fairly important it as that will cause it to rot.

I never wrote for grants but in the engineering world we did a lot of them. Sometimes money will get thrown at you, like a water system that needs upgraded, it’s a health issue. Another is a low income area or town. A third is to show revenue. You have an activity that will cost the tax...

As long as nobody got hurt it’s funny for the rest of us. I’d post some of the things I’ve done but it’d take hours and people would get tired of reading after the second page.

Arly I’ve always thought you were very generous with your time and funds. I’d say as long as you enjoy it and feel you can afford it keep doing it. When it becomes a burden either physically or financially I’d quit. It seems like there should be some kind of funding source, like a park...

I always assumed red oak was the color of the wood, not the color of the leaves in the fall.

I always thought they looked nice. All wheel drive?

I thought red oaks had pointy leaves and white oaks had rounded ones?

There were a couple of Gunsmoke episodes where the mistreatment of native Americans was talked about.

Their pelts are kind of soft but if you ever get a good look at the face it kind of freaks me out.

Two in one day. I thought to get a picture this time.

I got one today. I rolled my yard last week and saw a mole run an hour later, set a trap, nothing, they went around it. I picked another run out today, it looked less likely, got one within 2 hours. If you go back in this thread to post 12 is the trap I used.

Glad to hear it’s fixed.

When people describe your problem, I always say load test the battery. Otherwise you don’t know if the battery is good. The volts alone doesn’t tell you. A load tester is less than $50.

The way I look at firewood is I would already need a tractor and chainsaw so the only cost there for firewood is fuel and wear and tear on them. I own a log splitter but I got mine used at a good deal. There is a cost, no doubt but I’m pretty sure I come out ahead.

I guess it’s important to leave the funnel in, that way you get the most possible amount of snow and rain in the fuel tank. I’m not laughing at you, just with you. I’ve done much worse, believe me.

Did he flag that load or did he hit a street worker or surveyor?

I looked at the pics again too. That wasn’t a mess, it was a hot mess.

Have you seen the wetland maps? The entire concept is stupid in a lot of cases. It’s been over 20 years ago but we did surveying and engineering for a big box store all over the country. I did the surveying for one In Wisconsin that had a wetland specialist mark out the areas. Some areas...

We probably got 2” here. Hard to say the ground was warm enough it melted pretty fast was was gone before noon.

I’ve recorded than watched old TV shows when I retired 3 years ago. Gunsmoke and Perry Mason were a couple in black and white. Trivia of the day, one Perry Mason was in color.

No problem, he had a palate up there to take the load.

If it’s out in the middle of nowhere you might be ok but…………

I think it’s an abandoned line.

Not really related but I’ll tell the story. We had a job our Chicago area office had and I drove up with our GPS system. This was right after 911. They needed a building location and elevation that was in the flight path of O‘hare even though it was going to be one story high. I setup our...

I didn’t read all the posts but I own an electric bike. On an e bike forum a saw a letter from a place, I think it was condos, that said no e bikes allowed. Not in your unit, storage, garage, no where no how never. There have been a few high profile fires from e bike batteries. Mine is UL...

Unless your fuel is gelling, I agree winter or summer fuel won’t make a difference.

Yes it used to be an IH plant as I recall. There is a bid John Deere factory not to far away. When we road by on our bicycles there was millions of dollars of combines sitting. That was a year and a half ago, we speculated waiting for chips.

I live about 2 hours south of the Quad Cities. I’m not sure how auctions work but we have bought cars in Iowa. We don’t pay the Iowa sales tax but the Illinois sales tax. Some towns in Illinois also add a local sales tax. I live near Macomb Illinois and the sales tax is 9%. When I was...

When we flew Southwest used to be our choice. I saw a stat recently, as I recall they were canceling something lije 14% of their flights.

I get what you’re saying. The load goes threw the tire to the ground a the axle doesn’t have to carry the load. One of the advantages of loaded tires in term os stability, you can’t get the weight any lower.

I just remembered my JD came with a red key.

It’s running race slicks that have enough tread to make them street legal. It has a line lock and a trans brake. It also gives the driver control over pulling torque off the line if the car is losing traction off the line. He can then control how quickly the power is added back in. The car...

Ford caught some crap because on the F150 with 3.5 eco boost they were piping in V8 sounds through the speakers. The eco boost is a pretty powerful engine in its own right it just isn’t going to have that V8 sound.

With my tractor I can lift the same amount of weight if I have my ballast box hooked up or not. It limited by the hydraulic pressure in the loader. Having the ballast box hooked up has nothing to do with how much I can lift. The ballast box just takes the load off the front axle.

We drive.

We have skipped flying lately too. The last time we flew our flight got delayed several hours and it turned into a nightmare. Rising rental car costs have also played into our decision not to drive.

It’s kind of hard to understand the physics behind it but loaded rear tires do nothing to take the load off the front axle. If the rear tires come off the ground then the front axle becomes the pivot but the loaded tires than help the tractor from nose diving. A ballast box or other three...

I saw a video on the replacement for the Challenger. It’s all electric. They explained how they put an exhaust on it and made realistic sounds for it. The pipes make it sound real, blah blah blah. I just want to find guy, get in his face a yell THAT‘S ALL FAKE”. It’s like a little kid...

Moss you’re lucky, you got the good half.

It’s weird they won’t jump. I’ve seen whitetail deer casually walk up to a fence and just hop over like it’s a foot tall. Pretty grace-full to watch.

NO!

So Chrysler has been hyping the “Last Call” on the Challengers, Chargers and 300C cars because it’s the last year. Most of them are just a appearance package but yesterday the announced the Demon 170. It’s designed to run on 93 octane pump gas or E85, hence the 170 name. E85 is 170 proof. It...

A 5.7 Hemi in my Challenger and the wife’s 300c plus a 5.0 in my F150 get me to about 1100hp. Throw in the tractor, small engines and the fact the Challenger isn’t stock and I’m around 1200 hp.

One thing to keep in mind, loaded rear tires don’t help with the weight on the front axle. They do add to stability though. My 2025r calls for loaded rear tires and something like 700 pounds of rear ballast. I probably have about 500 pounds in my ballast box plus rimguard in the tires. The...

My reaction to the video? Whatever. I was surprised Neal didn’t bash J.D. more but he refrained. One point to be clear on, JD lists specific rear ballast requirements. He ignored that although I suspect it still overloads things by the axle specs. I owned a Kubota BX and currently own a JD...

To Kill a Mockingbird comes on TCM tonight. I’ve seen it 3 or 4 times but it’s a good one.

Nice. That’s John Wayne’s only Oscar too.

Just don’t call an engineer an architect and you’ll be fine.

I remember my structural analysis class and having a homework assignment where you would break down the loads on various structural members of a truss. The homework was usually just a small part of a larger truss and it would take 3 or 4 hours to work the problem. The good part was I never...

Of course you’ll need a pretty good sized excavator to load it also. I’ve been on a couple of earth moving projects where they used these. They can make some huge ruts, like 3 feet deep, and still keep chugging along.

I like that king post design. It seems like a perfect way for the OP to strengthen his. It’s been to long since I had structural analysis for me to wrap my mind around how it works exactly but it looks simple.

I have been a member for roughly 13 years. I have had 1 post censored I think. It was a joke about a politician but I’m betting someone didn’t think it was funny. I knew better. A few months ago I started a thread “Tell us something we don’t know”. It’s generally taken the direction I hoped...

I agree with the forks. I know on mine I can narrow them up to pick something like a rock up.

I vaguely know a pilot that does both fixed wing and rotary wing crop dusting. Last year it was big around here, mostly on corn. It’s fun to watch. On a bicycle ride last year I stopped and watched for a while plus I didn’t want to ride through the spray. A couple of zoomed in cell phone...

My daughters dog came back with a lot of American Bully and something similar. Looking at the DNA results you think pit bull but it doesn’t look like one at all, more like a black lab mix.

I would maybe if probably the end result was in a positively trending direction, most likely. I was also trying to figure out the word salad title.

If I was absolutely positive they made an honest mistake I go ahead and get the tractor. I’ve just been down the road with car dealers to many times it’s turned me into a skeptic. “Honest“ mistakes from a car dealer I’ve seen is the wrong year on my trade in, wrong mileage, they somehow find a...

Cap on the seat, good idea, glasses on the seat, bad idea.

Congrats on your new purchase. Budget? That’s funny and if you didn’t have a budget we easily could have doubled what you spent.

I’ve done construction staking on highway and a couple of railroad bridges. There is a couple of different ways it’s done. The most common way is piles driven down. This are usually steel I beams. Then a concrete abutment or pier is formed on top. The other method is just a concrete spread...

Raspy, that report looks similar to the one my daughter got back, it was surprising and not what we would have guessed. I assume they are pretty accurate. It’s a nice looking dog, enjoy its company.

They make direct bury. Is that a no go?

I know very little about dogs but I don’t see Border Collie in it. It looks more like German Shepard. I know as a Christmas gift we gave out daughter a dna test for her dog. The results were surprising.

We already know it will support a couple of atv’s. I personally wouldn’t worry to much about the abutments. It doesn’t sound like an essential bridge. What you have planned will probably work. If you get to carried away your bridge made from “free” material won’t be so free.

Dstig1 had very similar thoughts to mine, he just said it better, mainly in regards to plates at connections and not using rebar. I have seen a lot of rebar handled at construction sites and when guys are carrying long sticks of it it just bows a lot and flops around. In tension that’s fine...

One thing to keep in mind in a lot of situations is there is no correct answer. I see people thinking sometimes when buying their first tractor they act like there should be a one and only correct answer. It isn’t usually the case.

I’d start with the fuel filters.

It was my understanding you didn’t need to bleed the fuel system on a BX. I owned one for 10 years and I would just cycle the key a cycle the key a couple of times without starting. I could actually hear the air in the return line to the tank.

I have a Cannon Rebel. It looks like one can be had for u deer $500 now. If you want higher quality pictures and the ability to zoom in better, it’s a good choice. From what you describe I also think a cell phone camera is a good choice. I have an iPhone 12 that takes good pictures. Once...

Yes, a pier in the middle would make it a lot stronger.

Through work I’ve worked on a couple of rail projects, I think they were always sidings so switches are involved. I always heard the term FROGS thrown around. It’s where the rails come together. I Googled it and it resembles the underside of a horses hoof. It sounds like the term goes back...

yes heavier rebar is going to be stronger. I assume when you say rebar welded it’s going in concrete? I’ve never seen rebar used anywhere but concrete. I’m not saying it can’t be used in the OP‘s bridge for trusses, maybe long welds on those flat steel tubes would attach the rebar...

Arly feeling better? Someone has to groom all that snow.

Lately this thread has me playing Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in my head.

It MIGHT be ok for your tractor also but that’s above my pay grade. Something else, and this is way over my head, but in design and on a lot of steel bridges the beams on one side sits on rollers and are not encased in the abutments. But I also have done construction staking where the beams...

My degree is in civil engineering and I had structural engineering classes also. I am by no means a structural engineer so take this for what it’s worth. I never studied, heard of or ever seen a steel structure pretensioned with cables. I’m not saying it won’t work, I just have my doubts...

Nice rig. It’s almost like you know the guy who makes that setup on the back. ;)

Yes the passenger side front seat slid quit a bit forward. I’m a little over 6 feet tall but at least when I was that age only weighed about 190 pounds. With two of us in back you kind of got each others legs in the way. With 4 of us in there and surveying equipment in the back it was pretty...

I didn’t think they charged in a half hour. I’ve read on cars an hour might get you to 80%.

We have had a pretty low snow winter here. Last weekend we had maybe a 1/2 inch of wet snow so they of course busted out the salt. I guess they didn’t want to save it for next year.

At work we had a S10 pickup with the 2.5 fuel injected. It was a club cab or whatever they called it. The rear seat you sat sideways. There were four of us that worked on a survey job for a highway about a 45 minute drive from the office out of that thing. I was just a year out of college...

I also have bought 20 volt batteries and an adapter for 18 volt tools, it works well. I suspect battery operated pole saw, leaf blower and string trimmer would work fine for me. A chainsaw I think ill always need gas powered.

If it’s in decent shape it will probably go for $10k. I’ve been wanting not needing a dump trailer and box blade for a couple of years. The problem is I want to give half of what they are worth.

I should add you and your wife look like you work pretty hard at it. It seems like there should be some way to get paid for your tools and equipment.

I sent a package over night UPS to Colorado once that contained survey plats. It didn’t get there so 3 days later we sent it again. The first package came back to our office about 5 weeks later.

I think I asked a few pages back and you said you were basically volunteers. You said you applied for grants but never got any.

I know you’ve been kicking around a tractor. I think you’d find it would cut down on you manual labor a lot. The problem is it sounds like you’d have to pay for it.

Well they did get the Ran unstuck.

Joe Pepitone. First baseman, probably best know as a Yankee. He played for the Cubs later in his career and sometime in the early 70’s we had box seats to a Cubs game down the first base line. Joe was playing first and this lady near the first row kept standing up and yelling “Joseph I love...

If Oosik looked at for free he should drive it to your door for free. I don’t really like to drive that much anymore but I’d probably still fly out and drive it back.

Looks nice, I approve if that’s worth anything.

Maybe I missed someone saying it but the tricky part is starting the turn backing up. You have to turn the truck what seems like the wrong way to get the trailer started the way you want. Once started, the you spin the wheel around and follow with the truck.

An experimental method to unload grain trucks quicker?

I can’t remember if it’s in this thread or another one but they stresses trailer hitches to failure. Ripped them off the truck with a bulldozer as I recall. It seems like the area around the bolts to frame failed

I find just about anything would be faster than me backing a trailer although I’ve improved. My driveway is about 600 feet long and about a foot wider than my trailer. When I back down the entire length my technique used to be back 50 feet, get on the grass, pull forward 10 feet, then repeat...

I haven’t run into anything because I forgot but I have been driving down the road and all the sudden remembered I have a trailer back there.

Keep in mind this is a private road and ROW. The DOT, county, township etc won’t want to have anything to do with it. The fire department, police, ambulance MIGHT, want to do something about it.

I feel lucky, about 4 to 6 years ago we bought my tractor, my truck and the wife’s car. These items all cost about 25% more now.

I have a Stihl, I can’t tell you which model, but it’s curved shaft. I wanted a straight shaft but every time I picked it up it just felt better. It turns out it’s a longer shaft for tall people. I don’t consider myself that tall, a little over 6 feet tall, but I often have problems with...

Find a large mostly deserted parking lot and practice backing up. Sounds silly but don’t forget you have a trailer back there. Anything that weighs a certain amount, roughly 2500 pounds, you need trailer brakes. State laws vary on the weight they are needed. If you have a Ford with trailer...

I bought my JD 2025r in 2019. It was a little over $20k out the door, that included 60” auto connect deck, FEL, pallet forks and rim guard in the tires. Looking on line it now looks like list price for the same setup would be $30k. I don’t know if discounts are available or not.

An example may help. You have two lots that lie east and west of each other. The west lot has a 15 foot row off the east side. The east lot has 15 feet off of the west side. This makes for a 30 foot row going north and south along the common lot line. It’s a very common situation.

I owned a BX2350 for 10 years. I probably bought it 14 years ago. It came with the 60” deck and FEL, going by memory it was about $10,500. Is that price for a new BX include a backhoe? If not that sounds high even in these days.

Roebling and as I recall his son engineered the Brooklyn Bridge. Pretty amazing old pic of that bridge.

I know someone that was retired and drove grain trucks part time just to keep busy. He’s in his 70’s and I assume he had to do the road test because of his age. He failed because he couldn’t parallel park a semi. Is that even a thing anybody does with a big rig?

I’m sorry for your loss.

I think you can burn pine but like all firewood you need to let it dry down. I’ve burned small quantities of it.

I’ve pretty much figured Amazon lowered the price of the product for everyone. It started at $145 and is now $110. I had someone else check. Now did this happen because I was ordering from somewhere else at $110? Do they have automatic programs that search for items on the internet at higher...

For grins and giggles I just checked on Amazon and the price is now the same as Home Depot.

I don’t think a cable under tension is going to add a lot if any strength.

Long time listener first time caller? Lost of good info here, welcome to the board.

So I was shopping for a stand for my bench grinder stand on Amazon, we are prime members. Found one I liked and the wife said search other places. Generally the prices were about the same except Home Depot had the same unit for about $35 less. This entire time I had the Amazon page open...

My current 2017 F150, 4x4, Supercab, 5.0 xlt 2004 Dodge 2500, quad cab, 4x4, cummins 1998 Dodge Ram, quad cab, 4x4, 318

I wouldn’t worry small numbers on loader specs if the tractor is otherwise what you want.

As a land surveyor I can visualize a couple ways this would look. I’ve laid out a few subdivisions where the road is split equally by the lots. In other words the lot line is in the middle of the road and the road would be 15 feet off each lot. Another way I’ve seen it done is the road is...

Yes I know, I actually watched the video. I use a solid draw bar, not a hollow one and very heavy 2 5/16” ball, but still not the best. It’s probably been 10 years I pulled someone out of the mud and they weren’t stuck very bad.

I suspect both the law and the facts are on your side. As you are well aware it’s getting it enforced is the problem. You need someone in official position to make this happen. We have a rural fire department in our area. I’d get them, wearing a uniform, and maybe even a fire truck, along...

Where we live pine is also considered junk wood for firewood but there are places that is all that’s available.

My tow strap has a loop on each end. Say the vehicle I’m pulling out has a tow hook. I pass one end through the loop and tow hook and pull it all the way through itself. Then hook it to the ball inserted into my trailer hitch.

Your dog certainly noticed it.

If it’s just a couple of shingles and you have some new ones you can carefully work the new ones in place.

I hope they do well.

As a land surveyor I have a continuing education requirement. One of the classes I took the teacher was both a land surveyor and lawyer. He said the idea you can’t get adverse possession against a city or state is not true. He gave a few examples. He said what usually happens is people can’t...

Chalk your tires? Do you write something on them, just make a white line? Sorry, I knew what you meant, autocorrect probably helped you. If it was 4 wheel drive put in that. In his case, maybe drive forward quickly?

I’ve owned both a Kubota and a John Deere and my opinion is they are pretty equal. There is probably things I liked on one better than the other but nothing that really matters in the long run. Both have strong nationwide dealer networks also. John Deere and Kubota are also the only dealers...

Generally it’s a bad idea NOT to use Dawn or other dish soaps. They will strip any wax on the car off. If you want to remove wax like before your going to wax your car and you want to start fresh Dawn is good.

Why not the liquid? I have hard water so don’t often wash at home but I’ve had good luck with just about any of the liquids.

In Illinois if you are paying the taxes it shortens the time for adverse possession to kick in.

I got two about 4 years ago, paid $35 and had to drive 3 hours to get them. I felt lucky to even find any and at that price.

I actually think it’s the other way around. You see a lot of 85 octane fuel sold at higher elevations and it’s my understanding that’s fine if you stay at higher elevations.

That’s gonna take more than paint to fix that backhoe.

I am a land surveyor and I also hate adverse possession. I’ve read more than one case of adverse possession where the true owner got royally screwed. One way it can be useful is when a boundary is in doubt. The “true” boundary is vague by the deeds but there is a fence there. It goes to...

I’d say find a true quick detach one and do your best to copy it. These days most of the cut tractors have one. Mine comes off in less than 5 minutes.

Im lucky I can get 91 octane ethanol free fuel. For a while I was using 87 octane ethanol free. I never knew what was worse, running to low an octane or using 10% ethanol. Stihl is saying 89 octane in their manual for their chainsaws.

Just thinking out loud but how bad is the back of that frame? I’d think it’d be easier to leave it alone or reinforce it rather than mess with shortening the frame and moving the axle.

I’m pretty sure you aren’t getting that car for $39.

So you have some tall trees along your property line, say 100 feet tall. Your neighbor is not suppose to build anything within 100 feet? I don’t think that is reasonable and I bet the laws agree with me.

I am a retired land surveyor and it seemed like someone came in every few years with this situation. Like already mentioned it depends on where the boundary is and laws in your state. It sounds like the trees are on your property but I don’t think you said either way. In Illinois I THINK the...

I’d say that’s the going price for this area also. I’ve been looking casually for a used one for a year now. I saw a used one on Facebook Market Place that had similar tabs on the back like yours. I don’t know what they were for though.

Funny you bring this up because I just did it NEVER. Are we talking airplanes.

I’ve tried to save pallets to reuse but suffered from pallet rot. Cheap wood I guess.

We recently got YouTube TV which has the TCM channel. I recently watched The Rack, which starred Paul Newman early in his career. I also watched the Grapes of Wrath and Cat On a Hot Tin Roof. All good movies but not great.

We had a cat that would catch a voles and once in a while a mole. We had it about 12 years in that time it caught about 3 moles.

It does look like open bolt holes where the cutting edge was. How much did you have to give for it? I’ve been looking for a used one on the cheap for a while. I can’t help with your other questions.

It’s probably API labeled but not for diesels. Probably not the end of the world if you used it in a diesel but there is a difference between diesel and gas engine oils. I wouldn’t do it.

One thing the op wants is something to keep the wrist area tight so crap does fall inside them. I gave up on that years ago and just take them off and shake them out.

Have you ever known someone who paid to much for something, brags about how great it is, but it’s obvious to everyone else it’s a piece of junk. It’s probably the same way with tractors. It’s rare someone admits they bought the wrong tractor but it happens with all brands.

This picture is what I did with mine. There is a fuel line running to the tank from this new filter and then back again to the fuel pump. I can’t think of a reason you couldn’t just use a factory filter in this spot instead of the Racor unit I used. Sorry, forgot the picture.

Any chance the new injection pump was installed wrong? I know they have to be timed but don’t know how to do it.

I like just plain un insulated leather gloves. Brand doesn’t seem to matter but Wells Lamont is a common one.

The key to using the traps is learning where to place the traps. After a while you learn where they are more likely active, kind of a main run so to speak. Sometimes I put a trap out and have doubts and other times I can tell it’s likely to get one. Once you put them out there isn’t much to do.

If you only bump the price up 2 times I’ll take it! And no way I’m cleaning your toilets that long, 6 months tops.

I use this style. Just about the time you think you’ve killed them all more show up.

We went on vacation to Arizona about three weeks ago from Illinois. We saw a lot of $5 a gallon diesel but here in Western Illinois is just over $4 a gallon. Even though it’s a diesel backup unit is there a reason you couldn’t turn it off and on?

I have a couple of solar lights by the walk in door by my shop. They put out a decent amount of light. In the dead of winter on a cloudy day, they last an hour tops. During the summer on bright days, they go all night. Just based on price of the ones you are looking at they would perform...

Are you shutting it down and running it just part of the day?

There is an oak wilt that is killing oaks in my area, I’ve lost a few. Red oaks are more likely to die from it. Sorry I can’t help you on any value.

It’s more or less fixed, I still have to replace the interior trim and the latch plate for the door handle. I just glued the original pieces back in and socked some screws in also. I predrilled holes because I was worried about splitting the wood. Also a good tip on the screws on the hinge...

I made it to my daughters today. The best route is going to put the broken piece of the jam back in place. It’s in two pieces and I think if I carefully pre drill some holes I can glue it and screw it back in place. There is solid lumber behind the pink insulation and this is an outside...

It’s looking good, hope the reassembly goes well.

I have loops on the front of my 2017 F150, I also wonder how strong they are.

Pretty sad story and a good video, I leaned a lot.

Another thought is to get a quick hitch for the 3 point, that way taking the tiller off and on is easier.

On the BX the deck is directly tied into the 3 point with linkage. If you raise the 3 point the deck follows.

I had a newer BX2350 at one time. there was a way to disconnect the lift arms and pin them up. I can’t remember how or if that’s even possible with an implement on.
