California guzzles millions of gallons of water from the Colorado River to grow alfalfa that they export to Saudi Arabia,

Very nice. Pretty soon, you can sit back and watch the grass grow.

I think best writing goes to post # 61

My neighbor has a 95hp Kubota. He put a gash in the side if his front tire with a deer antler while bush hogging. He got some kind of thing in a calking tube from the dealer, and closed up that 3/8" gash. Two.years later it still looks perfect. I wouldn't have believed it if hadn't seen it.

Ahhh. The picture needed some blood.

No carriage bolt or flat washer on the mounting bolt?

I think you deserve a medal :)

Converting the orifices is more finicky than I would have thought. It would be nice if you could order it propane ready.

So about a day's work?

I just stopped at the local Kioti dealer. Their sales have been brisk. More stock is coming in, and most of it is pre-sold. And today is really the only nice weather we've had so far this spring. Nice weather makes people twitchy to buy tractors :)

Wow. That's a pretty small list.

I just saw that Taylor Swift concert tickets are going for $40,000 on the resale market. Phew

Our electric rates just went up 2.7%. I may get the vapors.

Whatever it is, it's global.

Good to see updates again. Did you ever finish putting a different engine in your skidsteer?

Here is a fluid capacity chart. What fluid do you plan top use? https://www.messicks.com/blog/post/Liquid-Tire-Ballast-Chart.aspx

Take a look in your owners manual. I had an 850 with R1 tires, and there were 4 different widths available depending on how you bolted on the wheel (dish in/dish out, hub in/hub out).

Beautiful. It will take you a while to fill that refrigerator with beer 🍺

Rippeon or Bayside?

Unusual for a Kubota Dealer to close.

Are you going to be paid with pastries and jam?

They turn into racing slicks

I'm guessing they went through a long period where they had more potential sales than stock they coud get. They ordered to get stock hoping that the sales demand would continue.

They are a diminishing presence around here. Are you seeing a lot of Massey CUTs?

I predict Massey Ferguson and McCormick will be the next to fade from the CUT market (not counting Bad Boy and RK). Not sure what Bobcat will look like 5 years from now. Kioti and LS seem to be doing well, and Mahindra has a global presence. I think they all will be challenged to find ways...

They really are a simple but functional design. What prices do they fetch where you are?

That hood is a good look!

This was a pretty clever design

My father got this over 50 years ago. The front carriage wheels had already been removed. Here is how it attaches to the drawbar on my 3pt hitch

This is mine

I live at the end of a 1/2 mile shared road. Every spring, I have to deal with the spring thaw. This winter had a lot of 12" + snowfalls - usually wet snow. For 10 days, I've been scraping the ice and slush off to the side with my rear blade. Once the gravel started to peak through, to the...

I suppose you've seen these videos...

Sheesh. I was going to recommend maybe taking a nap!

Thanks for the update. So, what else do ypu plan to do with your spare time? ;)

Eddie, Did you ever resolve the gun safe dilemma?

Eddie, Did you ever figure out a method to layout the line?

Inquiring minds want to know :)

ATV with foam filled tires?

Pretty easy to tell if you have a signal.

Not removing snow, but scraping off slush. My rear blade works, but the up and down on rutted frozen and thawed ground makes me realize how much I like my pony grader. Dug it out yesterday, and can't wait for the ground to thaw.

Could be. The only place that matters in this case is Eddie's.

Looks like there's a pretty good sized tree waiting to fall on that house.

It sounds like a safety switch (seat, PTO, neutral) is preventing the start.
