This is what I have always used in the past on the black trim on my kayaks and trucks. Holds up well and lasts a long time. Amazon.com: Forever Black Bumper & Trim Dye Kit: Automotive

Good Morning Everyone, just a quick note before I head to work. It is 73 here already and supposed to rain most of the day with a high of 89. This weekend is gonna be HOT!!! They are saying 97 & 99 for highs. When I got home last night I jumped on the mower to do the back yard and got about...

Today I took a load of trash to the dump, and while out went and picked up 4 5x5 bales of hay When I got home, I changed my forks over to my bale spear to unload the trailer as I was unloading them, the horses kept following me along the fence line.... I guess the one they have out there isn't...

Okay Farmer I gotta ask because someone is going to... When you walk the chickens, do you use little collars and leashes? Is there a leash law for chickens? Yeah, already discussing that one Dave

Good Morning, off to work before it gets to hot, then home to hook up the trailer so I can go get some hay. Yesterday made a sign for the wife and hung it at the end of our driveway. Now she wants a new mailbox. LOL

67 down here and headed to 94. Only a 20% chance of rain. Eric - So do you guys have major ticks over there? When I was a kid, my Dad always sheared and then dipped his Suffolk. I hated picking up the fleeces after seeing the ticks sheared off. Let me know if you have ant extra laying...

68 here, wife and I are going to take the horses out for a little bit, then come home and I hope to work on moving the next burn pile, if I have time I will mow the back yard. Eric, I hate to tell you but Senile is when you go in public with the toothpaste, you are just still asleep......

68 now going to 90 with 60% chance of rain. A lot of thunder last night, but no rain.

This is what I did after hearing the horror stories....

Even plastic turtles know where life is good.... Well, IMO you have been through enough to know what should be right when it comes to the Doctors you go to. If this guy didn't give you a warm fuzzy feeling, find another.

68 with a high of 92. Off to work and then we have to go into town this evening for a wood workers meeting.

I think a BOLO would be more important on the turtle, seeing as it is a turtle and not a person??? I wish we had more rain, it seems it is either to much or never enough. I fall in the latter although yesterdays rain really perked up the pastures.

How I got to FL is a story to tell while watching the sun set over the pasture while the horses are grazing and listening to the wildlife. I bought a true Texas longhorn once when I was in my teens while working the sale barn... turned out to be the meanest living creature on the planet! :eek...

YaHoo we got rain, comin down hard and fast with the grass drinking it up.

Mornin Ya'll, woke up to 68 with a high of 94 comin. Well I got another pile of trees burned yesterday so the pit is now ready for another load. We got a lot of noise and light from last nights storm, but not a drop of rain. They say there is a 60% chance the rest of the week. I would love...

Good Morning everyone. On my first cup of coffee with it 67 out but headed to 91. Picked up my cart yesterday, so what do you think Eric? So now I am on a hunt for harnesses. Hoping to get a burn permit today

67 now headed to 90 with a 50% chance of afternoon rain. Gee I could predict that weather in FL during the summer. First cup of coffee before I hook up the flat bed trailer and drive a couple of hours east to pick up an Oak Amish horse cart I found on Craigs List.

Okay, Dumb Question.... Why do you have 2 ground leads connected? You have a stinger in each hand? :D

Hooked up the Bush Hog today stood back and something just doesn't look right. :D

65 with it hitting 91 and no rain again. Most of the garden is about done so thinking of doing a 2nd planting of peas and corn. If I get home in time I would like to hook up the bush hog and clean up a planting area my wife started 10 years ago and never kept up. Full of poison ivy and wild...

Congratulations TXDon on retrieving the tractor!!! That had to be scary and frustrating at the same time. 71 here now going up to 91, rained and thundered most of the night. Back pasture is green again.

A woke this morning to the horses running free. so after rounding them up and putting them back, I started mending fences... T-posts don't stand a chance against a 1200 LB horse. 12 4" wood posts later they are secure and I get to have my first cup of coffee. Guess I won't be starting that...

Just be careful with flooded roads Don. Between growing up with Flash Floods in NM and the Hurricanes over the last 30 years here in FL, I can attest that moving water is not something to mess with... unless of course you like Kayaking? I have 4 in my barn just incase.

Hey Don, Be careful with all that water. We had some hurricanes blow through here a few years back and were stranded for weeks, and we were the lucky ones.

Good Morning, It is just hot here, no rain, and expect winds this afternoon, so no burn permit today. Maybe I will go out and see which saddles fit the new horses the best. Might even go for a ride. Lori is canning the veggies we grew in the garden. 5 gallons of Green Beans n pint jars...

Do you have artesian wells in that area? It may not ever dry out.

So what kind of bandsaw did you buy Ron?

Dave? Where DID Mr Newman go? Well I started the day mowing the drive and front easement, decided to fuel up the tractor and as long I have the diesel out, might as well see if those old stumps in the back yard are ready to burn... Nope! Well the tractor is all fueled up so I went ahead and...

I didn't realize you had sink holes in NC? I have 2 on my property, but mine are what I use as burn pits for the trees I had knocked over. When they parceled out this area they did it in 10 acre tracts, and if you look at an aerial view every property had one, you can follow the path. I do...

Dave, I truly wish the best for your Mom. We had to put my MIL in the Nursing Home after she broke her leg. The bone healed fine, but she wont weight bear and we both work.

WOW!!! Propane here is like $2.75

Ask and you shall receive.

Glad to see things are prospering for you after the hassles of a divorce. Been through 3 of them... :confused3:

Drew, you are a good person and a gentle soul. I am willing to feed the critters I bring here, but the rabbits, Deer, skunks, armadillos, and turtles have to fend for themselves. I don't hurt them, but I ain't feedin em ;)

The owners manual for my new L3901 says I need to change the oil, and filter, plus the HST filter at 50 hours. I can't seem to find any part numbers? The Kubota site does not list my model, Messick's doesn't either. The closest dealer is 40 miles from me and I was hoping to cross reference...

WOW!!! Kudows to you! If that was my house, there would no longer be a rocker, a table and there would be a big hole in the side of the house from my 12 gauge. I truly hate snakes. When in the fields I try to work around them cause I figure I am on their turf, but up on the porch... NO WAY!!!

This was the pickings this morning The turnips will be tomorrow nights dinner, Creamed turnips on wild rice, we now have 6 gallons of green beans, 1 of the sugar snaps, 1 of the peas, and just started picking the lima's.

Drew I still blow out (drain) my compressors every time I use them, but I also hooked a in-line dryer to my big compressor because 90% of the things (furniture) I make I spray with lacquer. And any moisture can ruin a good finish.

Wow, I wish they did that down here. I get a good price from one of the Dairies ($45 a dump truck) but it would be nice to support a youth group like 4-H or FFA

63 and headed to 90. Our 80% chance of rain is now 20. Looks like I will be buying hay for awhile. Good Morning Everyone!!! I should of never taken my wife to the horse auction, today she wants to go back to GA for a tack auction. Looks like I will be buying saddles today instead of burning...

Exactly what Larro said. 60yo and this cold is kicking my butt, and now one of the horses has one... go for it guys, I left myself open for it

I saw a post on this site where someone made a grill on the brush guard of their tractor, then a friend of mine showed me where he put a hole in his grill moving trees to a burn pile. So trying to learn from others, this is what I did to mine

Super nice truck Drew. I have always been a Ford man myself, but that truck could have me looking. Congratulations :thumbsup: Cannon has always made a tough camera as far as if your washer uses enough water... well there have been rumors...

Thanks Larro, but I don't leave anything out that man or beast can get hurt on. Mostly because I would end up impaling myself before the horses would. One of the main reasons I don't drink or do drugs... I don't need help getting hurt :laughing:

Yes both of mine are Cosmo brand. WOW good eyes. :laughing: Don't mention all the garbage on the property, okay? :thumbsup: I used the older one to spread lime (pelletized) and seed last year, and although I bought it used, it rusted up from not washing it out good. So now that I rebuilt it I...

Yes, now I have to return the forks I was borrowing, and that is why I ordered them, the bale spear was just a nice add on. The spear is 49" long and I used them to move 5' bales around under cover this afternoon. Can't say I have ever seen an 8' spear and not sure my tractor could pick up...

And here is a pic of both the forks, and Bale spear installed. Either comes off easy enough to use the other. Impressed with Titan implements.

Eric Salop - Hope the lamb is okay, but love the grass, working on making my pastures to look like that Red Neck Greek - Here is the pics of the pallet it came in on

Good Mornin all, slept in this morning and woke to 71 degrees, will hit 95 today with a 20% chance of rain which means none. Seems the wife and I have both got some nasty colds, so a good day to stay home and wait on the farrier to come look at the new horses as well as the Vet. FedEx is...

Thanks, these are the first Haflingers I have ever owned. Always had Quarter Horses before

Good Morning, 65 here in Hades, FL headed to 94 with only a slight chance of rain. Now the new horses are set up it is time for me to actually go to work. It has been about two weeks due to weather, going to the auction, and getting the new horses set up.

I drove to GA to pick up a hay cradle and used the tractor to unload it as well as throw a bale of hay into it and the new horses appreciated it

No Breeding, just pleasure. I guess I always wanted to be Horse rich and cash poor. :thumbsup: We are going to ride them western to start but hope to cart them within the year. Getting to old to mount a saddle.;) or lazy. As to why the Haflingers? :confused3: I think they are beautiful and...

First, Welcome to living in a small town, But once you are in the network, you will find lots of good folks to help. You are doing good. It took my present wife about a year and a half to find me after her late husband passed, and it only was about a year for me... we have never been...

Don't know if you know this trick, but if you put on baby powder on before working the insulation, you won't get the itches. 64 now and they are talkin about it hitting in the 90's. Been in GA since last Wed at an "antique, cart, tack, horse auction" Had a lot of fun, filled the truck with...

62 with my coffee will hit 86 today w/ a 30% chance of rain. We leave for the Horse Auction today, a little 4 day get away. Man I love those Halflingers

Eric, It sounds like you have a Champion lamb, and a useless dog. Time to ship him off to the city. And you needed a new phone anyway, now you can get one to take really good tractor pics.

52 with coffee, 82 this afternoon. Have to go into town this morning, but hope to get home by 10 and work on the next burn pile

I finished (3 days worth) burning the largest tree pile from the side field, only 3 more piles to go. SYSOP, I find it amazing that down here we are harvesting our gardens before it gets to hot to grow, and you guys up north are just planting them because the snow finally melted.

After burning a tree pile today, my wife and I went to the garden to pick and she took the garden basket I made her on Friday and we did great with the sugar snaps, Green Beans, peas, a couple more squash, and another pepper. While I was burning today you can see the jars of Blueberry jam, and...

Living close to the Mickey Mouse farm, we choose to go out of state on vacation. Next week I am going with some friends to Perry, GA for an Amish auction. Should be a good time. It will only be 3 days, but for me that is a vacation. So what does everyone else do?

If it is a little black bear then probably not, a big one will try to push through the fence, but give up after awhile. and if it is a real hungry big Brown Bear, like this one then it will rip your fence apart Sleep well tonight :D

That sounds very Cruel and MEAN!!!!! I LOVE IT! :thumbsup:

Just something to consider... Every Sept. my local shop has safes on sale (new models coming out?) and I now have 3 Winchester Pony's. $700 each, and I have one for handguns, one for rifles, and one for ammo.

When I was a weee little lad on my Daddy's farm long, long, LONG time ago, he had a Farmall V tire tractor that he always let idle when he got off to do something. He claimed it was a diesel and it only got turned off when you were done with it. FAST FORWARD to now I have a new Kubota L3901...

California Condor? An Army of Squirrels working together? One very fat Coon? Only the Shadow knows.... 52 Sunny and going to 82. Good Morning All

here's a little sobering test to take: Lifespan Calculator – Test Your Life Expectancy || NM any of you make it to 90? Nope made it to 88. A bit nippy here, movin slow this morning. Moving the downed trees to the burn pit showed me I am not 18 anymore. My wife is laughing at the way I am...

I am sure I can say we are ALL happy for you, your wife and your daughter. Good things happen to good people Kyle

You mean like that 68 Shelby, or the 70 AMX? oh yeah

Here is a page you can try Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

I'm not Drew, but you can google it with your zip, or most marine gas sold at boat docks is.

It is 64 as I drink my coffee with a high of 76 today. We did get a little rain yesterday, but they are saying a 100% chance today with winds. When I looked yesterday the grass in my field is coming up so I don't have to worry about seed washing or blowing away. But I also can't burn the tree...

I woke up to 72 outside, and it is supposed to reach 82 today and they predict a 20% chance of rain :laughing: Where I am suppose to work it is raining and going to all day for 3 days and it is an hour SW of here. My fields are cursed. So I can go start a new job (inside) today, or stay home...

We did a little harvesting... peas on the left, sugar snap on the right. Only got 1 pepper because my SIL stole the other 5 yesterday.

OH SURE Don, keep us in suspense!!! :laughing:

I don't think Belk's is going to have one with Moose, Guns, or Tractors on it

64 with my coffee, going to get 87. They say there is a 40% chance of rain today... We'll see. Going out to tie into an existing fence and stretch a new line and add a gate. Have to move the goats out of the area where I want to build my tractor barn. My wife is laughing at me because I...

That is a better drawing than I can do, and I have an art degree...:thumbsup:

Wish I could be that traumatized :thumbsup:

Sitting here with my 2nd cup of coffee listening to the birds sing, and the Mini's run and play. 63 out right now, supposed to get to 86 today and another day of no rain, makes it hard for the grass seed to grow.

I have seen posts referring to CUTs and UTs. So what is the difference between a large CUT and a small Utility tractor? Such as my Kubota L3901, has 37 hp so it is not full size, but is it a Utility or a Compact?

58 with a high of 88 and sunshine. They say 20% chance of rain which means a dark cloud will fly by

I was going to go with Liberty, but what I read here changed my mind. I have 32hp at the pto and most say 20 so I think I am good there. What I don't have is a lot of money, s there a chipper that I can use clearing my land (5" and tops),( root balls and logs I will burn) that is around $2500...

58 going to 81 No rain till Sunday. Off to work

it is my 2nd cup of coffee and 64 outside going to 84. Have to meet a plumber about re-piping a condo complex in Suwannee and look to see why water is coming thru the ceiling of another. Work sucks, I think they should pay me cause I'm cute. Don't they know I have a tractor to play on?

I am sure this has been posted, but not sure how to find it. The hay in this area is mostly Pensacola Bahia, and every spring the farmers set the fields on fire leaving a black field 2 weeks later it is the most lushest green field you have ever seen. What does burning do for it?:confused:

Good luck with that. I hope things work out how you want:thumbsup:

65 now with coffee, supposed to get up to 80. They say a 90% chance of rain... we will see I noticed we have pomegranates on our tree yesterday. I will be working in the town of Suwannee for the next couple of weeks

Drinking my first cup of coffee. It is 69 right now, but the forecast says it will get up to 85 and heavy thunderstorms all day. I guess I should be careful of what I wish for. farmer2009; I work on a lot of mobile homes in this area and I hope your door size is not a 32". I have found they...

My MIL is in a nursing home after breaking her leg last year and so we call relatives from all over the country and are having a little family reunion. She just had her 87th B-day last month. Some 30 people will be there, so Lori and I where cooking all last evening. It is 67 with a high of...

She keeps asking me if I love my tractor more than her... "Of course not Honey" Then tonight she asked me if she had to spray paint herself orange to get equal attention. LOL Sad part, I can see her doing it just to make a point. After dinner we are walking around the garden, and she tells me...

It is 63 with a high of 81 and sever thunder storms on the way. Next 3 days have light rain. Supposed to drive over to a neighbors to pick up an auger and thinking it might be easier to do on the tractor. I am going to drive to Wally World in Chiefland and need to swing into the vets office...

Good Morning, I slept in late this morning, was on this site reading posts till 2 am. Addicting! It is 67 now with 81 to be the high. When I went to bed we had a 80% chance of rain, now it is 30% and sprinkling outside. I wanna be a weather forecaster, even when you are wrong you are right...

How do you refuel your tractor? With my old JD, I just used 5 gal cans and didn't really care if I slopped some on the hood from either starting to pour, or over filling. When dust got thick from sticking to the residue I would just pressure wash it off or use an old rag to wipe it. But with...

Good Morning, it is 68 outside and supposed to warm up to 86. It looks like I have the rest of the week off. Today I am going to hook the BB up and cut in a fire break in the back pasture. We have an 80% chance of rain for the next couple of days which means it will rain North, South, and...

Stinging Nettle

I keep reading posts about how much better the tier 3 is over the new tier 4 tractors. I will admit this is very much a short coming in my knowledge base. The only thing I can see about the tier 4 is that it burns the residue from the catalytic converter when it gets clogged. kinda like a...

Thistle?

Well GOOOOOD MORRNIN AMERICA, down here in sunny FLA, we have wild flowers on the highways, lows happening right now hitting a humid 67 rising to a muggy 86 this afternoon. Winds will pick up between 2 mph and 11 mph and yes I am working on about 3 hours sleep. Kept dreaming of shooting...

Hey Larro, send some of that rain southeast. We got a little today but not enough to get the grass rooted.

When I was kid in NM, my dad used a square baler that used wire, then one year there was a big shortage of wire and he borrowed one from someone that used twine. This particular baler produced small bales about 60% that of a regular bale. My Dad called them goat bales. It is the only time I...

Good Morning to all. It is 66 with a high in the mid 80's. 60% rain for the next 5 days, I will believe it when I see it. Got 660 feet of cross fencing in yesterday, but must of kneeled in an ant bed clipping the field fence to the post. I have 15,16 ant bites on my right knee.

well 65 now and supposed to get in the upper 80's today. They claim we will get some rain in the next 5 days, we will see, pastures and new grass really need it. I am off to put in cross fencing today so I can keep the Mini's on one side and get new grass to take on the other.

Sorry about your loss, but think of the things he saw in his lifetime. I know my grandmother went out west as an infant in a covered wagon, and lived long enough to see man land on the moon.

We have a nice 68 right now with a high of 86. Only a 20% chance of rain today with 80% for the next 4 days. Guess I had better stay home today and get that pasture grass in.

Then you really don't want to see my garden at 4 weeks

And mine was delivered yesterday, I'll post more as I get to work on the pastures. Waiting on a chipper delivery... and waiting, and waiting.

I just found this thread, and am quite proud of my first garden. My squash and peas have flowers, but no sign of bees. Any suggestions?

And here it is being delivered as I say good bye to the old

Not sure what I did to get two sets of the same pics on there.

Well here it is being delivered, sitting next to the old one, and my fat butt being happy, and resting in it's new home and

Can you see me??? How did you know what I am doing. My wife is laughing at me because I want to call the dealer and ask if they left yet. LOL

Giving up a little JD 790 and moving up to a Kubota L3901. Only have 10 acres of pasture (6 in the future, clearing trees now) broke into 4 lots for rotating livestock. Figured I just needed something a little bigger

I'm sorry, at 4:30 AM it is 68. It will be in the 80's by noon with a slight chance of rain this evening. A perfect day to receive my new tractor and say goodbye to the old

I just traded in my 2002 John Deere 790 for a new kubota L3901. With quick release bucket loader, canopy and lights trade in it only cost me 15,000. Tell me I did good? LOL

Awww, Gee Guys, you make me feel bad. in the 60s here, sunshine with a high expected to reach low 80s. But alas I too have a real job I must go do

I am new to the tractor world even though I purchased my JD 790 over a year ago. I just had 10 acres cleared here in Gilchrist county FL, and hope to start planting pasture. Green Acres here we are ( guess I just gave away my age) for those of you that are to young to know Green Acres TV show...
