Cure for CWD Within a Year?

I ran into a problem in March with my 3016. I had had a heart attack while cutting firewood in November. I managed to get me and the tractor back to the house and got EMS here very quickly. All turned out OK as far as the heart was concerned. BUT, I forgot to lock the clutch in when I got to the...

For years I have put off turning ideas into reality because cutting heavy stock was not realistic. I have cutting torches but have never been very good at using them. I thought, many times, about getting a harbor Freight bandsaw to cut larger stock, but didn't like the idea. So, finally I took...

The seat on my 3016 is falling apart. The vinyl portion is separated from the metal framework. It looks like it was only held on by a clear "Liquid Nails" compound and that compound has turned brittle and failed. The vinyl portion now will not even fit into the grooves well enough to reglue it...

MY finish mower has always been rock solid. Today I was running over the lawn to get rid of a million daffodils that have shown up this year. Suddenly I can't keep the belt on the pulleys. I checked the tension and adjusted it but the tensioning pulley flops around badly when I try to run it...

I bought a post hole digger from Everything Attachments. I love it. It has saved me so much work it is unreal. I have one question for those of you with a lot more experience. Is there a "control" leg that could be added that would stop the auger a a very controllable depth? Something like a...

I have read a lot of great comments about Everything Attachments over the past two years. I have been impressed. It is not often you hear and read of great customer support and quality. Last Wed. I decided to to bite the bullet and order the post hole digger I have been wanting for months. I...

I bought a DR Rapidfire almost on1 year ago. I have been very satisfied with it and have posted that info elsewhere on this forum. That was until I had an issue with it. Due to an injury, hospitalization and rehab, I have not been able to use the splitter for about 4 months. It was put in the...

It seems that drill bits have really gotten cheap in the last couple years. I am doing a lot of work lately on equipment and projects. I am using my drill press a lot more than normal. I am also going through a lot of drill bits. I have a Drill Doctor and sharpen them as often as needed, but...

I am going to build a bandsaw sawmill to make lumber out of the trees I clear on my property. It is an idea I've had for a long time. I do some woodworking and hate to burn some of the wood I cut yearly. My problem is kinda silly. I have ordered or have most of the materials I need. I do have to...

This might give you some idea how steep the trail is coming into and out of the gulley. It is a pretty steep slope. Cutting down to the bedrock at the bottom of the gulley would make it a lot worse.

I have a Landpride FDR-1660 finish mower. I would like to get a second set of blades as spares for it. I have priced them on several sites, but the prices vary quite a bit. Most are not OEM which is OK, but I would like quality blades. Any recommendations?

Any of you engineering types know how much weight a 24 foot long railroad rail will support over a free span of about 18 feet? I was given three 24 foot long rails and would like to use them to build a bridge across a deep gully.

I haven't run the 3016 for about a month. Now that my knee has healed up pretty well, I wanted to start catching up today. Tractor started nicely but won't go into F or R while the engine is running. If I shut the engine down, the selector arm moves into Fwd or Rev easily. Put it back in neutral...

I have a Husky 455 Rancher. I have been cutting firewood lately and have had no issues until yesterday. I put on a brand new chain when I noticed the saw was really slowing down. With the new chain, the saw will not make a straight cut through a 16 inch log. It wanders to the right as if it...

My property has tons of sweetgum and cedar saplings that I want to get rid of. The area is too tight to get my bush hog through and was thinking of something like this. Introducing the DR TreeChopper Tree Shear: Low Cost and Effective Tree Cutting - YouTube Anyone have any experience with this...

I was cutting some firewood today. I felled a rather small tree I wanted out of the way. I tried to turn the tractor around to hook up the chains to pull the tree out into the open to cut up. All I got, at first, was the dash lights, but nothing happened. No sound of the starter engaging...

I have several large areas to till up for food plots. I want to try to disturb the soil as little as possible, but cannot afford a no-till drill set-up. After doing some reading, I have come to the conclusion that a chisel plow would be better than the rototiller I already have. My one big...

While working on my 25 acres, I sometimes ride past one of my game cameras. Recently I got a really nice picture of myself on my way back to the house. A friend saw it and suggested sending it to Mahindra. So I did. They posted the pic on their Facebook page today. So now I am a celebrity. (In...

I have quite a bit of steel tubing and other assorted parts, and would like to begin to design a 5 1/2 foot wide disc for my Mahindra. I am asking for suggestions of ideas that those of you with a lot more experience might have come acrossed during your years of usage. What would you like to...

I have dealt with MetalSupermakerket in Columbia SC for years. I agree with gentleman above about the in house prices way below the internet prices. I also love auctions. I got the welding table in the pic at an auction for $50. It turned out to weigh 850 pounds. The top is 1.5 inches thick...

Went out today to do a little work and tried to start the tractor. Nothing. No power, no lights, nothing. I checked the battery and found a huge amount of corrosion on the positive battery terminal. when I touched it, the connector on the wiring simply fell off. The positive terminal connector...

Please forgive me if this seems like a dumb question, but I get conflicting answers from some of my local friends. I own a 3016 Gear. It has a QA FEL. I have been told that it is a standard QA and that almost any SS attachment will fit. Others have told me that is not the case. Anybody know...

I am originally from PA. I was raised around gardening and enjoy it. My problem, since moving to SC, is with tomatoes. I get great crops, but they have the thickest. toughest skin I have ever encountered. I have made sure they have decent water and that the soil is well cared for, but nothing...

My son called me this morning and asked if I was looking for any attachments for my Mahindra. Of course I said YES!!! He works for a utility company and found some old attachments in a fellows field right near my house. So, I went and looked. I ended up buying an old boxblade that needs new...

I have a 3016 Gear. I have never used the swinging drawbar before. I have looked at it, but never had a need to remove it from it's mount behind the seat. Yesterday I was going to move a trailer for a friend and decided to use the drawbar to move it to the back of his property. the trailer was...

When we bought this place about 25 years ago, there were two well houses that were next to the house. One had an old drilled well, and the other an even older bored well. They both had water in them but no pumps or piping. The drilled well seems to have collapsed inside as I can no longer get a...

A friend has a 92 F-350 he is willing to give me to do some brush hog work on his land. It has a 460ci engine and a 5 speed manual tranny. It has dual rears and a flat bed. I get conflicting info when I run the VIN. He inherited the truck when his father passed away, and does not use it at all...

I have owned this property for about 25 years. It's only 25 acres, but it's a nice mix of hardwoods and openings. And one patch of BAMBOO". This bamboo was never a problem and in fact it was very pretty. Until about 5 or 6 years ago. we had a severe ice storm and the weight of all the ice broke...

I need a little guidance. I have a friend that works part time for a steel fabricator. I asked him if they had any steel plate either 3/4 or 1 inch thick that I could get to make a parabolic subsoiler. He told me that if I could give him a full sized drawing, he could cut one out with their...
