Mid mount mower.

Sorry you lost him. He looks so happy in those pics.

The neighborhood bully from 3 years ago.

Darn. Sorry to hear this.

As promised.

Understandable, I applied in February and received the Starlink hardware in late April. My boonies location must be a good test area?

Sure, It's at my place in South Dakota and were heading there for the weekend.

I'll rub some of that salt in. Starlink is a game changer. I've had it for three weeks. No issues.

LOL. Wyoming PBS is heavily funded from entities outside of Wyoming along with the Powder River Resource council that do not want coal as an energy source even if it met EPA standards.

It was one of the best tournaments I have ever watched. Phil dominated the nastiest, windblown, unforgiving course I've ever seen. Impressive is an understatement.

The resident coyotes here like the center of our 1400 foot gravel driveway to relieve themselves. We very seldom hear them and only see them on game cams. So far we have stayed out of each other's way.

I just bought a new Toro 50" Timecutter with the 23hp Kawasaki engine. $3400.00 out the door from a Toro dealer. The fabricated deck is beefy. Solid built machine and cuts very nice.

Nice!

Just wondering. I seen that corn has doubled and soybeans up 1/2 of what they were last year. Your costs to produce has to be up. Don't go in the hole being a nice guy! [emoji3]

Do you expect hay prices to go way up this year with everything else?

Just make the font smaller. LOL

Getting a "I'm vaccinated" tattoo on the forehead will help identify the saints vs the sinners. Huh?

Keep drinking the koolaid. LOL

Your free, you just refuse to see it. Move out of Oregon. There is normalcy in lots of states.

The front axle plug needs to be removed before greasing the axle. When you see grease coming out of the hole, your done. It won't take much grease. Mine was 1/2 pump on the grease gun.

Quite a few elitist posts on this thread. Covid has certainly exposed those who look down on others for not getting vaccinated yet. That is a sickness that has no cure.

Get Starlink. Quit dinking around with uber expensive hack cable companies.

Its about time a governor took control of the unemployment fiasco. https://montanafreepress.org/2021/05/04/expanded-unemployment-benefits-are-out-return-to-work-bonuses-are-in/

I met one person who definitely didn't deserve to have a dog. I caught a Boston Terrier that was running down a busy street that fortunately had the owners phone number on his collar. The owner met me at a convenience store to get his dog. All he did was complain that this was the third time...

Pretty sweet! Nice job.

So where are the flags? I'd have a par 5,4 and 3 in there somewhere.[emoji3]

Good one!

Now thats a happy boy! Looks like he's an expert in naps as well.

Recalculating

Bummer. Sorry to hear that.

I got a notification that my Starlink hardware is being shipped to me. Should be here tomorrow.

Ouch! That's pricey. I'm far from being a fabricator or welder but managed to get this expanded metal to stick to the factory brush guard. [emoji28]

The hand hewn mortis and tenon barns are a thing of beauty. Thanks for posting. I've done some small projects using the mortise and tenon method along with hand hewing a few logs. Those guys back in the day were real craftsman. No powered tools or winches.

I was wondering why you were using the same word on the word association thread..... Just kidding!

I very much know how drug tests work. I used to administer them. I'm done explaining that to you. I agree to disagree. Wyoming is a constitutional carry state. However, if you have a weapon on company property, you would be terminated. If my lifestyle was getting high over the weekend and...

I don't see the correlation of drug testing and searching ones private life. People bring their private lives into view when they fail a test. They have to go home and tell their family and friends they were fired for failing a drug test at work.

So if a person tests positive, what is your idea of measuring impairment? How do you explain to someones grieving family that "he tested positive for drugs" "but we felt he could do his job however he kind of killed your husband by running over him with a D10 dozer".

The Landpride SGC models fit your criteria. I have one. Very pleased with it.

When where or how they became impaired is irrelevant. When they enter a work place impaired and are tested, they are fired. Maybe I fixed my own post? [emoji45]

Well we are talking about job fairs, you know, work? I fired a few people with the same attitude. I could care less what they did off company property. If they were too dumb to show up Monday morning after a weekend of whatever impaired, they were fired. People deserve a safe work environment.

You can't be serious. So people have a right to be impaired in a work place? Thats idiotic.

Not lumber related but I bought 100' of 6 awg wire in an un opened package last week at Menards. It was 4' short. [emoji37]

That is a great picture. Thanks for posting!

An economic climate of low tax, a good labor base, low crime and cost of living is there to be had for manufacturers. Weatherby moved its Production plant to Wyoming for those reasons.

I was told I was number 15, yes 15, on a waiting list for a Ford Bronco at one dealer while another dealer had 3 in stock. Either people are dealer loyal or not willing to drive elsewhere to buy.

I had good luck repairing a punctured plastic diesel can with epoxy. I learned that my brush grapple isn't the place to tote fuel cans.

Now that's an attention getter...[emoji106]

I've noticed the mood swing in myself going in the right direction as well. Were at our place in South Dakota for the weekend and attending a gathering with people we haven't seen for over a year. Freedom through vaccination has its perks. Plus, it's spring time!

Yanking bolts till I find something is my approach as well with little or no instructions. I did learn to take plenty if pictures with my cell phone, the hard way... good luck and enjoy the new ride!

I assumed the manufacturing of the chips were curtailed because of the covid lockdowns.

Thats some nice looking wood! It would be an arm and a leg at the lumber store to buy.

I miss the banter they had and I respect OP for his beliefs and leaving for them.

Put him on ignore. He's not worth the BS he spews.

I agree until they roll in turkey poop. [emoji37]

Just my experience in the coal business. Starting in 2009 and by 2012, coal mining took a steep dive into bankruptcy. Thousands of jobs lost. All because no one in that leadership " followed the science" in clean coal technology. Instead invested trillions in solar and wind. Which is and will be...

Just cut an onion in half and rub it on the sting area.

Nice!

When did we have to have a yellow card to travel to other states? I've never heard of that.

I read that book as well 50 or so years ago. I'll have to read it again.

I did. The salesman in Wyoming said I would actually save a few dollars if I paid the South Dakota use tax. I really don't know if I did or not. Called the South Dakota tax commission to get the amount owed and the guy I talked to was very surprised I called them. However he did thank me.

Dang, he is a nice looking dog!

Doomsdayer! [emoji1]

I remember as a small boy it was mandated school age children got the small pox vaccination. 50 years ago the technology was neanderthal compared to todays technology. Hopefully the data will show good results. But, it will take time. It's your decision to not get the shots. No judgement from me.

If I could only buy Freddie Couples swing....

G20's for me.

I'm a save yourself first then what ever shakes out after that so be it, kind of fellow man. I got vaccinated, the rest of my fellow man has the same decisions to make concerning vaccination. Their choice. No judgment from me. I don't know of anyone who got vaccinated to save others. That...

At least she knows good golf clubs![emoji106]

[emoji481][emoji481][emoji481]

I have the MX 8800. It has about 25 hours on it with zero issues. I'm very happy with it.

I agree with his dog. What ever it said...

According to my wife, you are correct Mo. [emoji3]

Oh, skip the anchors then. I thought the dirt looked higher. [emoji106]

Thats why I got vaccinated. For me. I was led to believe it would improve my sex life. It didn't. I had a massive headache for 2 days.....

He has happy eyes. Nice looking buddy.

Not according to the CDC. They have no idea on contagion spread with fully vaccinated people. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html

The jury is out on wether a vaccinated person can or cannot spread the virus.

Yep, agree that you think he is an idiot. Unfortunately, you have first hand experience and I do not blame you for hating his behavior. It's not the normal behavior I've witnessed here. Honestly, I didn't get vaccinated for my fellow man. I got vaccinated for me. Selfish? Lack of character...

I tend to over analyze and then over build. With that, I would have put in screw in ground anchors and attached them to the posts.

I also believe they are an added cost that most wouldn't pay for. I have one on my 12' landscape trailer and I can drive anything up on it. Motorcycles, to lawnmowers. Pushing a wheelbarrow up it is a snap. But, if I were to buy an equipment trailer, I would pay the extra cost for one...

Thanks for posting! I'm planning the same thing as you but on a smaller scale. I hope to learn from your project. [emoji106]

The issue of not getting vaccinated is deeper than that. Character has little to do with it from my observations. I have very close friends that are on the fence concerning getting vaccinated for various reasons. I knew people who died from covid. Blaming someone else for their death isn't...

As a former right of way mower and heavy equipment operator, always back up a slope. If you loose traction, you want to be able to steer your way back down the hill going forward and not backwards.

Still classy....

Well said.

Dang. Thats a big deal in small communities. The town I grew up in, a small chevy dealer burned down. The loss of jobs makes an impact.

It's a thing on my iPhone. Not sure on other brands.

Use liberal amounts construction glue to laminate them along with heavy gauge screws.

X2.

Does KTAC provide coverage on mechanical breakdowns outside of the warranty limits?

Our physics might not be applicable to their physics. Learned that fact on the Twilight Zone. Your welcome.

I have my cell phone set to ring only if the number calling is in my contact list.

It should be a 2 5/16 ball.

I thought Indiana had the Jake Laird law (red flag law). If the mother notified law enforcement, I wonder how things went with that?

100% agree.

Good point [emoji106]

Do you weld on that top? I have a 3x8 bench with a plywood top and was thinking of putting a piece of 3/16 plate on top. But, I'm wondering if it would be a fire hazard?

He's your idiot. Deal with it like a man instead of a Karen. This isn't facebook.

I don't think the vaccination makes people cranky but I've seen plenty of examples where it made them experts in the field of viruses. Such as the post above.

You will have a french drain if using crushed rock to bed a culvert. Layered compacted fill dirt to grade and cap inlet. Lots of culverts fail using rock.

38 years of hard work and saving that much money is worth giving yourself a gift. I bought a new Mustang GT the day after I retired. Be kind to yourself. Go get your dream ride.

We had a 2200 acre forest fire a week ago. Fire ban already in place. It's going to be a dicey summer.

You don't have to be an attorney to see the absurdity in this. Californians have become subjects and not citizens.

Yep, things happen. Now, I wouldn't let him use my tractor but he has never asked. He rents if he needs machinery. Funny you mentioned the the trailer plug. He replaced mine a year ago. Thought it was the plug. Turned out that his wiring on his new GMC was screwed up.

My neighbor borrows my trailer often. He put new tires on it last fall. That's a good neighbor.

I'm so thankful I live in the free state of Wyoming. Well, Teton county excluded. They are fast becoming Jacksafornia.

My thoughts and prayers to your family. Thats a tough one.

First one I've heard bone dry, way low but not bone dry. Your dealer might want to hear this. Someone there dropped the ball.

Not to bash Hugesnet but the sooner I can turn their dish into a birdbath the better. No one in our area has has a good experience with it. I have confirmation on receiving the Starlink package mid summer.

Thanks or posting the picture. I always wondered how they worked.

Our mail person in our South Dakota area drives what looks to be a rode hard 1990's Buick. It does have a dinky yellow caution light on the top that doesn't work.

Yes. Its tragic. From the beginning it's been one huge mess created by an off shore bio-tech lab. And here we are in America telling each other " your at fault". I'm done with this. Out

Oh they care. Not the way you want them to. Look deeper into what they are saying. They do not trust what happened and are angry.

That being said, there is nothing you, me or anybody can do about them. Labeling them does no good for any of us. Another form of division we don't need. Your making an assumption that they don't care. Some friends of mine chose not to get a shot. They care but don't trust what unfolded since...

Not arguing your points here but the ones that refuse the vaccinations are taking the risk. Why is it on our shoulders to save the inconsiderate from themselves and others? It would be like expecting drug addicts to stop. Not going to happen.

If there is a will, there is a way.

I have the same experience as Fallon. It works flawlessly.

Ah yes, now were into labeling people. Classy...

The manual adjustable side link needs to be put the other side.

Very nice build! Whats going on the back for weight?

Worrying about a cylinder rod rusting out here in the West is non existent. If they were rusting, the high priced machine sets too much. Better off renting at that point.

In light of whats been going on in this country for the last year, I get why there is push back. People are getting fed up. This incident reflects these feelings.

They do not do business in Wyoming. Do they sell on the hill?

More info on a Kubota.

https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/7/6/764-massey-ferguson-255.html If you look at the different tread (tire) sizes available on it, yes you can downsize tire width.

Unfortunately the RB35 series has been discontinued for some reason.

You brought me camping and have a fake campfire???

It always does.[emoji1]

This guy works in the lumber industry. I've watched most of his videos for a month or so and so far he's been spot on with current affairs concerning the prices. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkB8eF4ATHl4Jm1BeCZgQ9A

Beautiful area! The rock wall guy knows what he's doing. Looks great. Good call on buying your lumber package before the "reset". Saving 40% or more is huge.

The smart side T111 is $64.99 a sheet here.

Nice! Enjoy. [emoji106]

Ohhh, now thats a beauty! Chocolate lab?

My wife has a Honda Cosmopolitan which is a wannabe Vespa. Its a hoot to ride!

The high end, large family homes here have 2 water heaters.

Nicely done!

Yawn.....

I guess I always looked at the financial side of jobs I had. It had to support my living standards. My dream job would have not met that standard.

Holy cow! I paid $10.50 for a ton of gravel, $8.50 a ton hauling fee for a total of $19.00. That was in 2019. I haven't checked the rates since the pandemic screwed everything up.

Elgin Baylor died at the age of 86. He played for the LA Lakers his entire career of 14 years.

Don't let the old man in.

Thats a great pic!

I wasn't leery of leaners thinking they would be easy to fell until a good friend of mine explained the amount of tension that's in a leaning tree. He was a retired logger and didn't mince his words. His message sunk in my thick head.

Good progress on Lazarus. Your persistence is admirable considering the cost. Looking forward to the day you report that its a runner!

Can you see the hydraulic cylinder rod move when you engage the close or open buttons Cbeck?

Some thinning yesterday before the frost comes out of the ground.

Either fish or cut bait

Glad you got it sorted out. Mine is stiffer than it should be but I can live with it.

I guess living somewhere on a hill top does have it's disadvantages.

Your being honest with the IRS and not fudging numbers pays more in self worth than any false deductions will.

I agree after looking at it closer.

1949 Ford F1 is my favorite.

What ever it is. Its a light duty cutter.

I'm surprised that the top hook isn't adjustable on that. Anyway, there shouldn't be an issue with lowering it 4".

Have you tried calling a CPA? This time of year is when they are busy but its also when they make some extra income.

You live by the sword, you die by the sword.

Its always nice to get another look at your log grapple Rusty! [emoji106]

Yep, mine won't win any fabrication contests. Thats for sure[emoji3]

Those are pretty slick! Kind of pricy though.

My wife's to-do list would put that at the top.[emoji1]

Wyoming has around 8700 wild horses mainly around the Cody area at last count.

Sweet! I drove through your area in MO last week. Pretty country!

Very nice!

As well as a machinist and hydraulic specialist.

They are probably wondering if thats bamboo like me.

He was one of the best in his sport. RIP Marvin

That's my dealers practice to mark his fasteners when assembled. I was kind of shocked he would mark up my new 4060 that way but it wasn't long before i seen the same thing. Brilliant.

Actually, the OP got a quote, agreed to it and a purchase contract e-sent for his signature. This is where things go south.

The Dealer rep was unquestionably out of line in how he handled the situation. His first question should have been "do you still want this tractor?" The conflict: The purchase contract wasn't read until after business hours. The next day, the signee is busy with other things as well as...

Yep

"In God we trust". Our national motto printed on our currency. No one complains about that as long as they have some of it.

When done tightening bolts, take a sharpie and put a line from the head of the bolt to the plate its attached to. Then, its just takes a second to eyeball them and look to see if the bolts are backing off.

Who are "they" that are out to get us?

Neighbors dog Sam. Natural born tree climber. Probably 10' up and waiting for a bird to land. Lol

Do you have the model number of the Kubota engine? If so, Kubota would have a diagram of the engine.

We bought our property 6 years ago. When i brought in my L2501 with a Farmi winch, i was the odd ball of the neighborhood. They all had skid steers. It made sense to them when they seen it it action.

Growing up in Wyoming, it was hard not to know a real cowboy. My grandfather's best friend and his wife come to mind. They worked their cattle ranch off of horses. Jaw dropping just watching them ride.

I had a 1975 Dodge D100 that got me to work and back and was the vehicle my daughter learned to drive on county roads. It moved me from a messy divorce and never complained when starting in sub freezing weather. I sold it. That was 20 years ago and still regret doing that.

Apple and Google are sideways over privacy rights if I remember correctly.

I had loaded rear tires as well. I think that properly inflated, tires will absorb shock loads for the axles.

I had 6" spacers on an L3400 with a 750# brush hog for mowing sloped areas. After 600 hours, no issues.

Me too. My landpride grapple and rear blade get the snot beat out of them. No issues.

Use an engine hoist from HF. Hook the handles on the bag to the hoist. Position it over the round thingy and cut the bag open.

The 2501 has plenty of power to the wheels and as you pointed out, your needing more weight for ground engaging tools. I found putting weight in the bucket ( dirt) added more pulling power when i was moving dirt around my shop with a boxblade or scraper blade.

Ive always liked your avatar. Im in the tree frog color camp. It set them apart from the others.

Well, here in lies the problem. The DOE does not regulate fossil fuels. The department of the interior does or used to. The DOE regulates nukes and energy from nukes. Emissions from fossil fuels really doesn't fall in their wheelhouse. Insert the EPA, and add another chest beater to the fray...

https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/what-does-the-u-s-department-of-energy-do-1790037978 Still seems wonky..

The bigger question is why did a state have to ask for permission from the DOE to ramp up energy to the masses that needed it. The whole thing sounds wonky.

Your mom raised a good man. Be well and be safe.

You have to name it Lazarus! [emoji3]

All fun and games until they got neutered the following week.

Another pic. L4060

Those are the sad souls that hover in their moms basements....

Speaking of fear, mankind did not evolve with fear included in the decision making. Fear does more harm than good. Forge ahead and live your life. We would have never landed on the moon if fear was equated into the decision.

As a fellow hack, 3 failed attempts at a hack job ends up in the dump. 4 attempts, I was practicing the definition of insanity.

I busted out laughing at his choice of tool to cut the dash bigger. He has a pretty dry sense of humor that I like.

After looking at the pics, a 60 HP with mid PTO for a front blower. Cab and chained up. I have a 1/4 mile drive much like yours. Be careful. Speed is not your friend with steep slopes.

Snow removal has varied requirements. What is the average snowfall in your area? We average 140" a year. Some years its been over 200". A front or rear blade would soon run out of room to blade the snow off our 1600' road. A rear snowblower was required.

Last winter.

I use this. It’s heavy duty and fairly light. It’s a Woodchuck Timberjack from Chainsaws Direct. $99.99.

A little fun with the Granddaughter.
