We have coyotes...hear them frequently at night, sometimes in close, but almost never see them during the day. Now Woodchucks - I like 'em. Great moving target practice!

March 1st for me. It's a mental thing...knowing the days are growing longer, and daily average temperatures are rising. My whole outlook improves... If I can just make it to March 1st, I've bested another winter!

We bought 35 acres in July 2019 that had electric and septic, but no well. The day after buying the land, we closed on the sale of our original home and 2 acres. The day after that we both officially retired. It was all pre-planned to domino over the 3 days. Then we celebrated! We stayed...

Sorry for your loss. Share the memories of your Dad to keep them alive...

I'm like Mr. Walker. I love watching for old barns as I drive, but unfortunately, seldom stop to take a photo.

I would love to give that chain a try...whew, it looks good!

Thanks for the detail! I am respectful of the contributions that you are making.

Just curious... Years back, my B-I-L had bees for a few years till the bears decimated his hives. I'm wondering about the current situation... With the investment of time and materials for entry into beekeeping, plus week to week shepherding, are you able to realize a financial profit? The...

Sometimes I feel like your barn Mr. GrumpyCat... Seeing barns starting to "lay down to rest" tugs at my heart. It's a reminder that hits too close to home...

That's IT!!! This is the perfect example of the magic and enjoyment inherent in this thread... Everybody has a punch set...many still in the flimsy plastic case or stuck in holes drilled in a piece of 2x4 on the bench top. Mine are willy-nilly stuck in a pouch pocket. But once again, you...

When I read your continuing updates, I can't help but visualize you as the Energizer Bunny! It is the pursuit of Dreams which keeps us most alive...

31 days - - - I keep coming back to look. And this continues to be one of my favorite threads...

Mr. FatJay, you've done a lot of work in a fairly tight period. Hope your Dad is recovering well.

Wow...! Makes me want to hug a 2x4. I have a new appreciation for them. I use local Amish cut wood for Board and Batten siding. Their mill is not quite as efficient...[emoji41]

Mr. Muhammed, with sincere respect, the government introduced an objective to ban gas stoves. It has widespread financial implications for many of your customers. Much like keeping the playroom toys picked up, there is no meaningful discussion to understand cause, establish impact, and identify...

Spectrum here. Similar situation, 800 ft direct burial. Called 811 for flagging anything underground along the path. I rented a Dingo stand-up trencher for ~$200 a day. Dug it in 3 hours. I have scattered fist to head sized rock, but was able to get it to dig 18" down. Spectrum had already...

The weather has been rainy and mild. No snow to plow, and too muddy to process wood... The leak has not returned so far!

And another! Call it a mini barn...or maybe a barnette... OK, so it's a shed, but I built it from scratch!

I took that photo when we were in the Grand Tetons... It is the "Mormon Barn" and considered to be the most photographed barn in the world.

I've got a 10" NG line buried 6' deep bisecting my property...built in the 70's, it actually worked to our benefit since the clearing done for it, further reduced what I had to clear to reclaim land. Couple of years ago, I used a trencher to bury a cable feed down about 18 inches, which crossed...

Interesting...a perfect example of how language gets twisted and weaponized. This devolved from a constructive discourse on the width of a driveway - - - to wishing someone bodily harm??? The personal attack on Mr. Deezler would pass the "any normal person test" as anti-social behavior...and...

Merry Christmas to all...

Mr. Oldnslo, the leak has been where the 2 fittings join...at the tip of the probe. Previously, the O-Rings did not show any visible deformity or obvious indication of failure. My 66 year old eyes did not find any gouges or rough spots on the metal edges where the O-ring seats. If it returns...

B-I-L's barns...

The first pic shows the full set of connectors. The second pic has a probe pointing to where the ORB connection has been leaking. The leak has been creating a visible trail of fluid, with drips to the ground every 10 to 12 seconds. Last Friday, I once again wiped down the connectors to remove...

I love my 3 inches!

I'll post some pics tomorrow, when there is better lighting. And thanks for the questions.

3rd function uses flatface Male and Female Quick Connectors (QCs) with 1/2" nominal port size (-08) O-Ring Boss (ORB) seals. On the tractor side, the Female QC was dripping sufficiently at the ORB fitting to warrant investigation. 1. Attempted to tighten the ORB fitting: No joy 2. No visually...

One more of my favs on the same farm...

Gusty day in Sparta, NJ...

Big Barn in Cuba NY, other 2 are from a farm in Central PA...

Sure wish my farm had paved trails like Mr. Sawyer Rob's... He doesn't have to wait for the ground to freeze!

Mr. Trouthill, glad the write up helped with looking for the blown fuse! I've not had another recurrence since that one in 2021 and now have 800 hours on the MX 6000. Regarding the exhaust running beside the engine question. I wouldn't consider the routing Kubota used for the exhaust system...

I'll be thinking about ya'll in the morning. Hope all goes well...

Mr. Ovrszd, are you the one on the right or the left? [emoji848] (Actually great photo, and even greater is that you are the one keeping the event alive, 60 years later!) ...//Terry

From reading your enjoyable posts over the last few years, it sounds like you have a most interesting job Mr. Jstpssng! Seems like every day you're somewhere new - out in the wilds. You appear to have scored on what many of us only dreamed about when we were 12.

Mr. Frits, it's said that old barns were often built like cathedrals...open all the way up to the roof. They create a sense of awe, not shared by modern truss and pole barns. I use "BackRoad" as my TBN name, mainly because that is where all the old barns are found. I love running back roads...

Mr. FatJay, how is your Dad doing? ...//Terry

Mr. Terry, good to hear you're doing well. And it appears you are still hooked on odd vises! Mr. Kyle, the wood assembly bench reminded me of my B-I-L. Sometimes he gets taken at auction, and sometimes he scores. He won (2) 8' x 8' heavy duty shop assembly tables, with similar vises mounted...

^^^ I glanced at the photo and said "Now that's the tractor I want..." ...and then started wondering how you fit the motor between those BIG front tires!

I know you asked about chains on the front only... Just my experience - I had ladder chains on the back wheels. In snow over 10 inches deep, whether using my front snowplow or back blade, both resulted in the snow push steering the front of the tractor, forcing it sideways. Traditional ladder...

Mr. John_Mc said it the best. I love the EKO's, plus Mr. LouNY's install method. I'm watching the weather to see when I need to mount them again for this winter and looking forward to giving Mr. John's modified method a try!

^^^ Just watch out for the root balls [emoji41] They can sometimes be larger than expected and once the tree goes over, come up under the front of your tractor.

Thinking about you Mr. Terry. Hope you're doing well...

Any update on the injection pump Mr. DSM?

Bump... I have a similar "feature" on my MX6000. I need to slightly touch the reverse side of the peddle for it to start. Lubricating the linkage has no effect. Any guidance on how to adjust the Hydro peddle start lock-out?

Thanks Mr. Scootr. Very helpful.

Where did you source the extensions, and how are they fastened to the original lever? Verrry nice!
