My Dad never met John Wayne, but we both liked him. I took a pic of my dad with the Winchester trapper I bought him for Christmas. Years later I got to working with photo programs and put him in a shot from True Grit. He never got to see it, but he would have laughed his ass off. I smile...

I just finished redoing the Mallard nesting tube. It will go in the pond as soon as I get my waders in the mail. Not freezing the boys off this year. Anyone else make duck boxes? Would love to see what you all come up with.

I had a surge protector fry last month. I had it for years with no problems. I read that you should replace them every couple of years. I did some research and found that Cyberpower was a pretty good brand. I replaced all of my strips and wall units with this brand. Since then I have fried one...

I stopped by the dealer lot and seen a RTV X900 worksite. I really liked it. My concern is the diesel and hydro tranny will be to loud for enjoying a cruse through the woods. I'm also looking at a Kawasaki Mule pro mx. It has a single cylinder and cvt tranny. Seems much quieter in the videos I...

I ordered a washer and dryer from Lowes with "free delivery". Instead of backing down the driveway, they pulled down to the house. They suddenly realized that the truck was too big to turn around. I explained to them that they were going to have to back out, otherwise the truck would get off the...

Was looking at Kawasaki Mules, now I am kinda liking the Honda Pioneers. Was looking at the 520, then the 700, now I might be in love with the 1000 Deluxe. Anyone have experience with these. Thanks Dave

Hi everyone. I have a kitchen drain that is giving me a problem. It is continually getting stopped up. I have used a plunger, and that works for a bit. I have used a snake and that worked for a while as well. I have tried boiling water to no avail. I hesitate to use chemicals because it goes...

Am I seeing things, or does little guy only have one toe on the right side? Dave

Hi all, Was considering adding a Kawasaki Mule Pro MX EPS to my stable. Anyone out there familiar with this machine? Pros, Cons? Thanks Dave

My boys Buck and Gus.

My girl Kess. It's been six years or so since she left. I gave her the best of me and tried to be her best friend as well. Thought I would share the progression of her life right up to the goodbye. :cry:

I live south of Buffalo NY. So far, I have been spared the blizzard. Had the power go out on Friday for a bit, but not much snow. It did get down to -3 with 50mph winds, and that froze some pipes in the crawl space. For now, the driveway is done. Time for some Christmas pizza and beer. Hope you...

Is anyone using a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) on their coal or pellet stove? If so, what kind and how's it working out? Dave

Hi all, Anyone ever found an easy way to trim around chain link fence? It chews up my trimmer line and I just hate doing it. I wanted to make the dog area bigger, but the thought of trimming it gives me pause. Dave

I rescued this undocumented Mexican. Now he lives in a pouch and drinks my Sam Adams. Lol

I live about 30 miles south of Buffalo, NY. I was lucky and only got about 15" of snow. They say the snow band is coming back tonight. My little orange lawn mower did a pretty good job with what we had. I'll have to break out the JD if **** gets serious.

I'm done mowing for the year. I love it for a while, but it becomes a chore half way through summer. Today I converted the BX2680 to a snow warrior. Dropped the mower, put on the chains, wheel weights, rops, and the plow. This too will become a chore sooner than later.

Was putting the wheels back on the Kubota when the Shoulder Mechanic shows up. I'm not a cat guy, but this toothless kitty was eating crickets when I found her. I could not turn my back. Now she is glued to me.

Hoarding, it happened to me, and it can happen to you. I inherited my folk's house a while back. Being the nice guy, I let my sisters live there with the understanding they pay the taxes and keep up on the place. To make a long story short, I was left with a very big mess. I was never the kind...

Hi all, Do you guys mow your pond edge to the water, and if so with what? Thanks Dave

Hi all, This question is for New Yorkers. Can you legally drive your compact utility tractor on the road in NYS? I have a JD 4320. it has the slow-moving vehicle sign as well as headlights and flashers. I need it at my other property that is 6 miles away. Thanks Dave

I don't have that bike anymore, but it was fun to rid.

They were taking over.

Just curious, do you all use Kubota branded oil and filters, or is there something better? Thanks Dave

Zoe, Born 10/17/2008 in Sanborn, NY. End of watch 06/14/2022. Rest in peace my sweet friend. Letting you go was the hardest thing I ever did. I always thought I could handle any situation with a practical and detached persona. Today at the Vet I totally melted down. The casual placement of the...

Hi all, I was trying to put the adjustment dial to TOP, but I can't get it to that point. I realize the mower has to be all the way up, but it still won't go to the TOP position. I can turn it either way all the way up to 4 but no further. I tried to put some penetrating oil down there but no...

Hi all, Anyone have experience with a pull behind lawn sweeper? I have a Kubota BX2680 with a 60" MMM. I just want to gather clippings for mulch when I need some. I know there are several brands to choose from. Thanks Dave

Hi All, I have used plantskydd for years and it does a pretty good job to keep the deer away from the veggies. Unfortunately it tends to attract predatory and scavenger animals. sometimes they dig up the stuff I plant. I thought I would try and make some Ghost pepper tea and spray that on my...

Hi All, I use concrete reinforcing wire for my tomato cages. Works really well, but it sucks cutting and working with a roll of that stuff. Just wondering what ingenuous ideas others have come up with. Thanks Dave

I have a BX2680 with a 60" non drive over deck. Opinions on the Gator blades, and part# if you know. Thanks Dave

Hi all, I just got back from Lowes where I purchased a splitter for my outdoor hose bib. The thing leaks like no tomorrow. I hand tightened it the best I could, but it leaked. I tightened it with a wrench, and it still leaked. I replaced the gasket with a new one, and it still leaked. I...

The battery on my 2008 4320 finally gave up the ghost. What recommendations for replacement do you all have? Thanks Dave

Hi all, My local Kubota dealer has a couple of 48" Land Pride grader scrapers on the lot. I think they are GS1548 models. Was wondering what a good price would be, and would they do a good job on a driveway that looks like it was carpet bombed? Thanks Dave

Hello all, I need a part for my Frontier snowblower SB1174. I's a grommet for the manual rotation handle. Part # 5RD657390. It seems you can't buy them online anymore, you have to go through your dealer. Just another thing that Deere has screwed up. :mad:

I have had this BX2680 for a couple of years. Very impressed with the performance in such a small package. Thought I'd post some pics and vids. Don't know how many I can post, but I'll give it a try.

Hi all, Looking into a power rake for my tractor. I would like a 48" but I see Land Pride discontinued the one they offered. Not sure if anyone else offers them? Thanks Dave

Seen this female northern harrier flying around my front field. She was about 150 yards out. It appears a field mouse is having a bad day.

Hi all, Any ideas on a good lawn cart for my BX2680? I don't have a loader for it, and most carts I see for sale are junk. Thanks Dave

I have a seat from a Kubota 2680. I only used it once. Thinking of selling in the local Craig's List. Just wondering what's a fair price to ask? Thanks Dave

Anyone heat their shop with a pellet stove? Looking for a very small stove that wont break the bank. will only be running it while I'm working in there. I heat my house with a Harmon coal stove for the last 10 years. Harmon stoves are way to expensive for what I need. Thanks Dave

Hi all, I have 6 dogs and a small area in back of the house for them to do their business. They can't really run around much, nor can they follow me around when I'm doing things outside. I have 13 acres with 2 ponds. I would like to fence in an area much larger than what they have now. Is...

Anyone else keep losing the rubber cap on their brake lock on the BX?

Did Some mowing today on the Kubota, and when I got back I realized that my coolant was boiling in my overflow. Checked the radiator screen it was clear. Checked the oil it was fine. Checked the coolant and its full in the radiator but a little low in the overflow. It could be because it was...

Took these last night. There were some clouds, but they came out ok. Also took a couple facing south to catch the Milky Way, and a couple of planets.

Ok, Normally I get along with the creatures around my property, but his year is different. I have had stinging colonies of nasties close to where we spend our time relaxing Never a problem before. This year, I have a nest of Yellow Jackets that took up residence in a hanging basket on the...

Hi all, I have been using a weed trimmer around my chain link fence. Needless to say its a big pain in my butt. It chews through line like no tomorrow. Wondering if any of you folks have figured out a better solution? Thanks Dave

Well here is my first video. It's what I think of my New Kubota. Kubota BX2680 walk around. - YouTube Hope you enjoy. Dave

Hey everyone, I have a block foundation that supports my back deck. It was fine when I moved in 12 years ago, but it is crumbling in spots. I what would cause this? How can this be fixed? Thanks Dave

Nothing brings a family together more than a snack plate.
