What happens if you swap the hydraulic hoses? Will it close then?

Make Me Smile - Chicago

Get Back - The Beatles

Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar

I have no direct experience with either (I have that evil green machine :LOL: ) but one neighbor has a Kubota and another has a Mahindra. The Kubota works hard and never stops. The Mahindra mostly lives on a trailer going to, or coming back from, the dealer for repairs. Maybe he got a bad one...

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

Look into an electric chair lift if it will fit on the staircase. We got one for my mother when she was about 80 and she used it in two different houses until she died. It gave her the ability to get to things in the basement that otherwise she couldn't access. It also saved my father from...

I had a 2032R with MMM and it was difficult to line up and attach. Moreso when the HOC (height of cut) actuator died, which is a common problem with the Deere MMM. Do an internet search for Deere HOC problems and you'll find numerous problems with them. And they are stupid expensive to fix. My...

Still one of my favorites. I wouldn't be surprised if one of my neighbors did this.

Should've Been A Cowboy - Toby Keith

My 72-inch cutter sits on a couple of side-by-side pallets in the side yard. My wife has 2 cats (I don't claim them as I am allergic to them) and buys cat litter in big yellow plastic buckets. I took two of the empty buckets and cut notches in them to fit over the gearbox and slip...

UPS, FedEx, and Amazon all deliver to my driveway or porch. USPS is a guessing game due to constantly changing drivers. Apparently the USPS regulation is for them to deliver packages up to 1/2 mile on a private road if necessary. My driveway is 4/10 of a mile from the public road but they...

I have all of them vertical in my house. My youngest son is worse - Light switch screws are vertical and outlet screws are horizontal. We built a new house about five years ago and I spent the first couple of nights flipping all of the light switches around so all were down when off. Drinking...

I have a Tar River grapple that states it was made in USA. No problems out of it at all except some surface rust where the paint job is bad.

Is there a sign shop local to you? Take that picture, and height/width measurements, and they can probably cut some new decals fairly cheaply.

I don't think much rainwater soaks in anywhere here. We have clay - orange clay on top of blue clay. When it rains we have pools of water for several days. Aerating is to hopefully break down some of the clay and be able to add some organic material or topsoil over it. Hopefully I can spear a...

I don't know if this is the right forum or not so please move if necessary. I recently purchased a new core aerator for my tractor. I'm aware that I should not repeatedly drive heavy things over a drain field, but is it safe to run the aerator over it, maybe, once every two years? The tines...

I broke both of the plastic clip points on my Woods BrushBull so the PTO shield turned freely. I ended up putting a hose clamp around the shield with the chain clip threaded through it. it works just as it's supposed to now.

It's actually 50.161 acres in total, but 25 of them were timbered just before we bought it. And yeah, it's weirdly shaped.

I have 25 acres that were cut prior to my purchase of the land. While most of the big stumps are still there, they are easy to locate and dig out. But the majority of the ground is now covered densely with 2-3” diameter pines. Between my bucket and Woods mower, I can cut them down but I’m left...

I’ve had SimpliSafe systems in two different houses for over 8 years. I’ve only had one false alarm and it was caused by a low battery. If you go with them, make sure to get the proper network adapter. They sent a T-Mobile in mine and there is NO reception for that network where I live. Once I...

I have one neighbor with a Kubota and one with a Mahindra. I don’t know the particular models of either. The Kubota is always around and doing various tasks. I rarely see the Mahindra unless it is on the back of a tow truck going to be repaired. Again. Now, to be fair, the Mahindra owner is...

I had a couple of generators at my last house. That house had a basement that would quickly fill with water if the sump pump didnt work, so one generator was always ready to hook up to that. It typically got used 1-2 times a year. It would also run a couple of fans if needed but did nothing for...

We have lived outside of cities since about 1984. Not too far, but not in the city itself. But, as always happens, the city kept encroaching. It got progressively shorter distances to get places, but took longer to get there. A few years ago we moved out of the city again. This time though...

When we were first married, my wife fixed cow tongue one time. ONE time. I told her to NEVER bring it in the house again. I‘m not a fan of any internal organs and I refuse to eat onions. I don‘t particularly like garlic or ginger but I can eat it in small amounts. I’m tempted to show this...

Rachel is actually pretty good but there’s always someone in the background doing the heavy lifting for her. She covers a wide variety of topics and, while she doesn’t get into too much detail, you get a good overview of the job. At least she is doing all of the work while clothed in mostly...

I took my drivers test in my mother's car. A 1972 Chevy Nova 4-door with a 350cid V-8. We made a trip around the block. That one block had a yield sign, a stop sign, and a traffic light.

I have a the type 1 root grapple as shown above. While I haven't used it too much yet (new tractor), we are clearing a lot to build a house for my son & family and have been carrying the logs to a neighbors house with it. The neighbor has a 4-in-1 bucket on his Kubota and is able to grab 1 log...

When I was in college in Richmond, VA, I took my Boston born girlfriend to meet my North Carolina born and raised grandmother. I had to translate both directions as neither could understand the other. I later got a book for my girlfriend called, “How to Speak Southern” and enjoyed many a laugh...

There are problems with the Gen2 2032r mower. I traded my 2018 in for a different tractor and that was a big reason why. As long as you don’t get the MMM, they are great tractors. The backhoe is okay but don’t think you’ll do major work with it - it’s just too small.

Ken's Bolt On sells a hydraulic decompression tool. I haven't used it myself but it looks like a sound concept. I am not affiliated with Ken or his site, but I have bought some stuff from him. Hydraulic Decompression Tool

I got an offer letter just today. $26K for 41 acres. Yeah, right.

My neighbor has a post hole digger and when it stops, he dumps some water in the hole and waits a few minutes. Then it starts digging again. We live in Virginia and our area is clay. Red or blue, but it’s always clay.
