Every year I plant about 30-40 acres of athletic fields with a Kubota Grand L6060 with a 6' planter on the 3 point hitch. And I plant in 2 directions. Imagine planting 30 acres with a 6 foot planter and you have to turn around every 300 feet. I would not want to do that without the HST.

I bought a new L6060 last August. I needed to have 2 rear remotes and none of the local dealers could tell me if, or when they could get the remotes. They had the tractor, but not the remotes. I contacted a large dealer in the Houston area and they delivered what I needed in about a week. I...

Well.....I changed the right front bearings again today. This time, it had not completely failed, but I thought it was getting close. A few days ago I raised the front wheels and the right side was a bit loose, so I ordered bearings and seals for one side. When we removed everything, it was...

I've had those too. Another one is from Geek Squad saying my subscription is confirmed. Or from someone saying my new iPhone purchase is confirmed. If you think this is wrong, click here. The first time I got one of these, I almost fell for it. When they started asking for too much info, I...

They are putting a 2 lb meter. I did lots of research before buying or installing anything. The only other thing I will have on gas, is a stove I’m adding in my shop. Last hurricane here was Delta. Our power company lost power to 98% of their customers, but we never lost power at my house.

I am in the process of installing a 24k Generac to power my home and shop. We just ran 850' of 1" poly pipe for the natural gas. We should have the meter installed next week and will be able to to run the generator and test everything. I debated between going natural gas and butane. At first...

I think there is more to this than whats in the article.

Years ago, a friend of a friend would go to a trail ride in Georgia about once a year. He would bring back some moonshine supposedly made by a 90 year old man. It was easily the best alcoholic beverage I have ever tasted. After the first taste, I would give him cash and tell him to bring me...

I'm not much of a whiskey drinker, but a friend of mine who is a rice farmer started making vodka then whiskey with the rice he grows. I really like it and it's getting some really good reviews. Check it out here. It's probably only available in Louisiana and maybe a few surrounding states...

I like green onions too. I prefer shredded cheddar cheese. Recently I started adding a little sour cream on top of mine. Not sure if I will continue using the sour cream. I add a can of creamy red beans. The creamy beans will thicken it up, but you don't notice the beans as much as other...

Venison chili to be served over your choice of Fritos or cornbread. Should be ready around kickoff. I'll be in bed by early 3rd quarter.

My guess is armadillos

I haven’t been goose hunting for a long time. Yesterday my son in law invited me to go with him. He is a hunting guide. We had a great hunt. We got all our limits of specs by 7:30 am and the weather was perfect.

I own 4 Browning A-Bolts and XBolts, so I like that rifle. I suggest you do not get him a youth model rifle. Three of my rifles are 25-06 caliber. I got these for my 2 daughters when each of them starting hunting deer at about age 13. The 7mm-08 is a similar caliber to the .25-06. My...

Could be… but Muhammad said it was posted at 10:13. This one shows 10:12. If not this one, it’s very close.

Do we know which post was the actual 6,000,000th post?

it just jumped to 6,000,003 so it has happened at approximately 9:15 am central time.... What time is that in Eastern time?

I lost too, but I think the counter is stuck on 5,999,986

it's showing 14 post left to reach 6 million. there have been at least 4 new post in the past few minutes and it still shows 14 left to go.

I have the Tempest. I set it up in March 2021. It quit working about 6-8 months ago, and I have not tried to get it back going. I assume the battery on the outside unit quit working. It is supposed to be charged by a small solar panel. I was getting 'low battery' notifications before it...

I would like to see your camera setup in your skid steer. Can you post pics? I have a Kubota skid steer, and backing is always an issue.

I have owned and operated many 'stand on' commercial mowers. Mine were all Scags. I was in the lawn care business for about 18 years and sold the mowing part of my business about 3 years ago. I started out with 'sit on' zero turn mowers, but eventually went to all 'stand on'. Reasons I went...

I rarely have the opportunity to shoot anything beyond 100 yards or so. And, I shoot maybe 10-15 rounds a year, so I don't want to invest in loading equipment. The 2 boxes I purchased should last me 4 or 5 years. I don't know how many more years I will be hunting. I'm 62 and one friend I...

I ended up getting 2 boxes of the Hornady Superformance 117 grain. I put the gun on a shooting bench over the weekend and got about a 1" group at 100 yards. I have not taken any animals with it yet, but I think this will be my ammo for the future.

I keep a binder in my shop for maintenance records. I made up a sheet with make, model, purchase date, serial number/VIN etc. for each piece of equipment I own. I also have a line for filter numbers, and oil capacities. Each time any maintenance is done to something, we fill in a line with a...

Yep, I just looked at the JD 4066 specs and it shows Cat 1 only. That is a deal breaker for me. I need Cat 2 for many of my attachments.

I didn’t know that about the JD 4066. Does it have a Cat 2 or Cat 1 three point hitch?

There are significant differences, and many similarities. The 6060 does not have a clutch pedal and the brakes are on the left side. This makes it a lot easier to use the brakes to assist with turning, which I do often. The 6060 has a 'common rail' fuel system, which has some advantages, and...

I have 2 Grand L6060's. One is about 5 years old and has about 1300 hours and the other is about 4 months old and has about 120 hours. I also have a L5740 with about 2100 hours. The older one has a loader, but the newer one does not. Both have served me well and fit my needs better than...

I will often buy lunch for soldiers or police officers. I try to do it anonymously. I also hold the door, let people in traffic, and most often I just smile at everyone.

Well...I made it to the range today, and I am disappointed. The Hornady ELD-X did not perform well. I will not be switching to that round. I did have an old box of Hornady Interlock 117 gr. BTSP that someone gave me. I tried these and was able to get a couple of good 3-shot groups. When I...

I have a 2016 Ram 3500 cab/chassis that I bought new. It has just over 160,000 miles on it now. It has served me well. No major problems with it. I had a front wheel bearing go out a few months ago. I use it to tow a 28' gooseneck and we load it up with equipment. About a month ago, I...

I think you are going in the right direction. You need to be happy with your job and your life. Let me tell you my story, and I'll try to be brief. I'll start by saying I am happier now than I have ever been. About 20 years ago, I had a pretty good job but just was not happy. I was 43 years...

My SVL 65 is an open cab, but I have used a 75 with a closed cab and they are nice. There seem to be a lot more of the 75’s available compared to the 65’s. I felt that the smaller 65 fit my needs better than a 75. I bought mine from a rental company and it took them a year to get one available...

I had rented a SVL 75 this spring to load about 1600 tons of sand. Thats when I was convinced I needed to upgrade to a Kubota.

Just for price reference, about a week ago I bought a used Kubota 65 with 1300 hours for $35,000. Yesterday I sold my 2015 Bobcat T550 with 2700 hours for $21,500. Two years ago I paid $17,000 for this machine and put 200 hours on it over the 2 years.

I have decided to try the Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X 110 grain. I called an old friend who sells lots of ammo at his store, and this is what he recommended. I also have another friend who is a bit of an ammo expert, and he gave me a box of this same load a year or so ago. I'm going to...

So, the very few places that I find the Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 115 grain, require payment with CashApp, or Bitcoin, or Zelle, or one of the other cash payment options. None of them accept a good old fashioned credit card. I'm just not comfortable paying with any of those options...

Well....I've been searching for the Winchester Ballistic Silvertip in the 115 grain. One place referenced in an earlier post seems to have some, but you have to purchase at least $250 worth of ammo from them. 4 boxes (80 rounds) is $249.95. I may go back to that site and find something else...

Thanks for the replies. I don’t shoot enough to hand load my own. I believe that every gun has a favorite bullet. For my guns it was the Ballistic Silvertip. I am hoping to find something very similar to that. I am leaning towards one of the Hornady loads.

For years I have been using Winchester Ballistic Silvertip in a 117 grain in my .25-06 rifles. (I have 3 of them). I’ve had good success with this round, but can’t find them anymore. What would be a good substitute? My rifles are Browning A-bolt and X-bolt.

I have lived through the identity theft nightmare. Here is a thread I started when it happened to me. Identity theft. What a nightmare I have not had any issues since then, but I did spend many hours on the phone with Quickbooks and my bank trying to get it all sorted out. I have several...

The truck weight like this is 15,370 lbs and the trailer axle weight is 20,000 lbs for a total of 35,370. This would probably be the heaviest I would ever load it. But I still need to shift some of the weight to the trailer axle, which I think can be done.

One thing I learned on these type of ads, is that you 'right click' on the image and a box will pop up. You can choose to 'search the web for image'. You can instantly see everywhere this image is posted on the web. I just clicked the image in the OP's post, and see this same tractor is...

This is why I wanted the 40’ trailer. I plan to go weigh this load at a local rice farmer just to see where we are at.

The GVWR is 25,900. I'm not sure the weight of the trailer, but I would think I could carry about 15-16,000 lbs on it. So, a skid steer at 9000, and a tractor with loader at 6000 and one implement on the tractor, I should be close.

I ended up buying a used 40' TopHat trailer with 2 - 12K axles. It has fairly new 14 ply tires, deck, and springs. It is actually a trailer that my son-in-law had purchased new in 2014. He sold it to a guy who sold it to a company who I bought it from. TopHat is the brand that my local...

The yaupons are very easy to push out and have shallow roots. I suggest you push them out with the grapple first, then grab them, instead of trying to pull them out. I'm thinking that if the tractor is big, you will have trouble getting under the live oak trees with it. I don't think you...
