4″ Self Feeding Wood Chipper, FH-BX42-R Refurb My use is seldom and I will share this with a friend...about the cost of a couple of rentals. I have had good luck with their 7' flail mower over a few yrs of use.

Happy we have a single story home. No Stairs. I built a wheelchair access off the back patio 20 yrs ago.

So? ... What's your point ? :LOL:

I'm thinking the rake would serve to break up the manure and spread it around more than gathering it. Also it should have some moisture to breakup, Maybe rake old manure after a rain ?

A fun game we played when learning to drive was shifting without the clutch...rev matching and finding that notch without grinding any metal. I still enjoy that today 55 yrs later.

I'm willing to bet most of the old timers here learned to drive on a stick. I learned to drive in a VW beetle in a 20 acre pasture at 14 yrs of age. When I was younger my Dad would let me shift gears while riding passenger in the MGB. I was fascinated with the timing and results of manually...

3 out my 4 are stick shift. If it's a not rod or a classic without 3 pedals it ain't shift. You can drive an automatic with 1 hand and 1 foot leaving you 50% involved. But a stick takes both hands and both feet leaving completely involved in the driving experience.

Vedder ProDraw® OWB Paddle Holster

The very best of luck with that.

That's it, sorry no blinker, I was texting... :oops:

Just lazy and mostly uncourteous. It's shows a lack of respect for the other guy. I use mine most every time even lane changes are safer with the tap once for 3 blinks features in most cars and trucks. My favorite in car complaint is 'What, you paid 50k for a car with no blinkers !???' 😤

I'm not moving. Soon this place is mine and I've no intention of getting another mortgage

Sister was driving Moms early 60s Safari station wagon on her learners permit on the PA backroads when a deer jumped out at her from the side and jumped clear over the wagon and away... later I heard a story from a 18 wheeler a the deer jumped clear over his cab and trailer only to die when it...

The tractor will not try to move until to throttle pedal is depressed.

Top and tilt is a game changer (y) Once you do this you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner!

ETFs I thought to sell yesterday are up today... and so it goes.

Yes but getting out after a drop realizes a loss. And getting back in after a gain does the same. Historically people that held during 2008 made more money than people who sold. Invidia was a prime example.

My thinking exactly. Last week was the week to sell before the losses. I'll stay ~ it will come back. History has proven that.

You know we have been paying tariffs for 5 years already right? What could tariffs do that biden and harris didn't already do with their 30% increase over 4 yrs. Take the blinders and headphones off. You are getting bad information.

I'm waiting for delivery. Meanwhile I found this picture online with a light and a red dot mounted. I'll run iron sights and leave the light on the nightstand pistol. I am super excited for this birthday present to arrive.

Bought a Sig P365 X macro comp.

Good steel aint cheap :oops:

Centrifugal pumps make pretty good pressure. I don't need to spray far. We will see... Lots of people including firefighters report using trash pumps on so called grass fire rigs.

500 rounds of 9mm 119g Blazer target ammo from Sportsmans Warehouse as they were the cheapest ($.24 rnd) at the 10 box minimum.

I bought a HF 2" gas power water (aka trash) pump. I'm putting a fire fighting trailer together using a few IBC totes, pump, and 2" hose reel.

I bought a Hanes T shirt and 6 pr of boxers. At my age I need to change my shorts a lot more often than my shirt. :LOL:

I even used a drill on one. 🤬 :ROFLMAO:

I've used tire plugs for many years, often needed when I worked on construction sites. And for my wife who drives a lot of miles. My kits never had glue, they did have some very sticky rope and a lube needed to put the plug in. Todays radial tires offer a real challenge getting the probe through...

A good price means different amounts to different people. ;) I paid a fair price and I got what I paid for.

My little 5k CAT is the handiest machine on the place sometimes

Just stopped in HF for a screwdriver. Spent $35 on stuff I probably don't need. ;)

I bought an new multi-fuel generator. Tired of gas carburetor problems every couple of years for a brief use so this one runs on propane which can sit without fuel issues. I don't know if it works as I've never needed it in the 5 yrs it's been in the shed.

Funny story; I knew an old cowboy who moved to OK and bought a 50 head of mostly wild and bred 2-6 yr old heifers for his spread. I went to visit and showed up as he was moving them through the chute for shots and worming. I was warned to stay quiet and move slow as I pushed them up the alley...

Helping a friend with this machine, no start. Finally figured out the more complicated than necessary neutral safety switch is the culprit. Is it acceptable to bypass the switch on a hydrostatic model? Thanks in advance.

Telehandler nay be a better SS but I'm not sure I want to mow a field with one ? I keep 3 machines because they all excel at a couple things but none does it all well.

We used to throw one or two down at the hitchin rail for hosing off horses. It lasted at least 10 yrs. without much sign of age. kept the horses from pawing up a hole too.

We used a mobile butcher when we raised pigs in CA. It was convenient to say the least.

Likewise I hated Deere foot controls (backhoe) after I had learned on Ford joysticks. I learned on the old pedal Bobcat machines so Mine being this type suited me just fine. The SS and the Grading tractor had 2 different uses with some overlap but one could not replace the other completely...

I have a 20 yr old Bobcat 773. Owned it for near 10 yrs with only a hose and battery replacement. Operated this machine when I was in construction. Good power and parts support. This particular model won't take aftermarket tracks without smaller tires and wheels so that's a no go. Wheels not...

Hydraulic oil can be dropped at motor oil collection sites.

Trying to operate a box without hydraulic top and tilt was the most frustrating experience I had on a tractor. You want one angle for forward and another angle for reverse.

Ouch! :eek: We rode dirtbikes in the desert. Not everyone survives that activity. Later I rode bigger Moto Guzzi and HD bikes on the road. It was fun and I quit while I was still ahead.

Thank you for boosting the economy.

Clean urine for sale :LOL: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

In my experience it recovers slower than cutting with a blade... which can be a good thing if you are simply mowing to reduce the fire fuel.

We have twisty hilly country roads. The speed limit is 50-60 mph and many exceed that by 10 mph. A sign says share the road with a stick figure bicyclist. The cyclists look suicidal to me. Sure it's a beautiful place to ride but it is far from safe.

Bro ~ Don't even go there Bro ... If I ever say Bro, slap me :LOL:

I could not support such foolish spending. The definition of insanity is repeating the same action and expecting a different result. Like building in a creek bed and not expecting to be flooded. The new church would have to be in a different location.

Mine is registered as 1965 Ford thus bypassing any safety or smog inspections ~ quite a big bonus in Commifornia :ROFLMAO: Sure we all want a $75k Superformance Cobra but a F5 car can be found for half the cost and all the fun.

I have a Factory 5 Cobra. It too is loud and hard to handle. The gear box is akin to a box of rocks. But dam it is fun. And an hour on the backroads is a full upper body workout. :LOL:

Sending your car to the crusher seems a bit extreme. That would really pizz me off... Is it my fault you build a road for 80 mph and post it 40 ? Whoever set the speed limits never drove a Porsche.:LOL:

I love innovative design in construction but 1/2 of the roof is covering unusable space, the hill side. 2 more posts and you could have had the beginnings of a shed.

You will destroy a set of blades. Don't let me talk you into something your not comfortable with. We all have different skill and risk taking levels. You could just hire somebody to do it for you and let them wear and tear their stuff. You may have a neighbor looking to make some fuel $.

I had an extra set of forks lying around so I bought a SS mount with a grapple attachment without forks. Can't remember the exact cost but it was not a lot of $.

I posted a thread on this project here > Brush Hog mods The first picture is what I tried to copy. You can see the guy welded the chains on. That's an option but I wanted to be able to replace the chain as needed. The chain I used was 3/8 hardened #70 attached with grade 8 bolts using lock...

We use a water truck. Add moisture to the material and wheel roll with a full truck. The road maintenance eternal problem is the smoother you make it the faster your neighbors will drive and the fast the washboard will return :rolleyes:

You can drive in gravel. Crushed rock with sharp edges like 3/4" rock is better than rounded pea gravel. Pneumatic tires with minimal air pressure are required. The right tires make a big difference. Drive in reverse for uphill travel. I do this with my machine constantly

I bought a cheap Toyota initially. Wasn't sure I would use it enough to justify a bigger investment. Old Toyota is better quality than cheap new stuff (just my opinion). Once I realized how much I would use a forklift I started searching for a newer better machine. I eventually settled on a...

I did a small area of very deep chips and found that small animals found them to be a great place to live. :( Plus the don't stay put on a slope in heavy rain... Took about 5 years for them to really break down. By then weeds were popping through. I'm over the chips.

I don't hear the chains hitting the deck. I think the speed that they are spinning keeps them straight out

Back in 2000 we bought our place from a deeply depressed woman who said she bought it with her husband but he left. (don't worry records show she made a 100k on the sale) A few months into the place I found a wedding ring out in the dirt in front of the house... like somebody threw it back as...

A guy can dream :D

Some of the replies sound kinda harsh. If construction is kept to a minimum weight wise I don't see why this cannot be made to work within limits. HF has some cheap 12v winches that can lift a ton or more. That should pull the bed up using a gin pole. If you have welding skills consider removing...

To be clear, a 2 ft tall rock is going to damage or tip your tractor over. These need to be located and marked with a stake or something before you try anything. Backing in a little at a time may be one approach. In any case there is going to be some handwork required to make this a mowable...

Similar problems here. We modified an old BH, cut the blades down and added hardened 3/8 chain. It's been working like a charm. While I try to avoid the rocks, hitting them does not hurt the chains like it did the sharpened blades.

I watched Daughter of the wolf on you tube last night. It was a good action thriller with blood and violence.

I would go metal. Aluminum specifically. I used a sheet of 6060 aluminum 49x60 inches on my MX5200. I think a metal roof would be best in an environment where something could fall on it. We added a little support to the ROPS and put a couple of bends in the aluminum sheet

I'm a sissy too when it comes to side tilt. Yesterday I felt I pushed the limit and was honestly a bit ashamed I would have taken the risk considering the consequence.

You can definitely not use it, but as already stated, the mower will follow the contour better if you use it.

To be honest my BH is the best tilt meter I've ever used. It works great, if it gets tight I slow down...if it get real tight I stop. :LOL::LOL::LOL:

I'm 1k ft from any neighbor but when I search wifi connections they all show up....

Wow - 15 yrs. I remember getting 30 inches in 08-09 that was crazy. I think we average 6-12 inches.

The Perkins 3 cylinder is a great motor.

My first tractor was a MF 30b. It was a great little 2wd tractor with a Perkins 3 cylinder 50 hp. I ran it for 5 yrs and sold it for $1k less than I bought it for when I moved up to 4wd.

It's just me but I would never run a gas tractor. Diesel power is stronger and more efficient. And less maintenance in my experience. I wouldn't look twice

You might be a redneck if ...:D

I ran a buddy's Ford 555 backhoe out of fuel in my youth. We struggled to bleed that son of *****. I've been keeping one eye on the fuel gauge ever since... Lesson learned

Right, 5000 pound lift capacity. It may be more than you need but a pallet of cement or block is more than 3k pounds. Anyway it's worked good for me. It's a name I can always get parts for ( we did brakes and axle seals last year). It fits in the container or barn. There are as others have...

I googled '5K Cat forklift' Here > 5K Cat forklift - Google Search If you are using a phone try a PC

There are models with 3 stage lifts vs 2 stage that are much shorter. My 3 stage 5k lift will fit in a shipping container. This looks like mine but I have bigger pneumatic tires.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Added benefit about the propane fuel is the gas company fills my empties when they deliver. I have 3 tanks so there is always a full one waiting in the ready.

Yes, the cheap old Toyota I had was a good machine in it's day. But it proved less worthy when loading product on shelves with the clutch and no side shift. Side shift is a God send. I use the CAT to haul dumpsters up and down the drive for weekly service. As a lift for small equipment. Even...

You show some nice work. Have you considered a quick attach bucket system like Skid Steer has for your machine? This increases versatility making the machine a multi tasking tool.

I put an aftermarket backup camera on the old car. Both halves are wired into power, no battery needed. My Kubota has a bent rod going thru a plate. It offers ballpark accuracy. Generally I lay the bucket in float mode on the ground and curl down until I see the back of the bucket rise then tip...

I sat on the tractor and thought about doing something for a few minutes. Then I got the keys to the Cobra, remembering it needed running, and got about 50 miles of back country road driving done :LOL:. Washed it and put it away. The tractor can wait. It was a sunny 73º today. Feels like...

The backhoe should have a lock pin on it...Engage before moving the machine to reduce stress. Backhoes are typically set with the bucket on the ground and outriggers down when not in use.

I was taught to lower all implements cut the motor off and exercise all controls to ensure there was no pressure left on the cylinders. Been doing that for nearly 50 yrs without a problem. I do it for everything including the forklift and SS.

My reply was based upon mowing etc with my wheeled machine. GL

I believe a tracked machine will ride MUCH better than a wheeled machine. That might be something you should consider.

I've been using the PTO quick hitch for 2 years. 2 mowers on/off alot. It's easier than a bare driveline attachment. Plus it gave me a 4" extension which compensated for the Pat's Quick connect. No regrets on this addition. The teeth are about 5/16 wide so shaft rotation is minimal to align and...

She is ~ supporting the wall sale. No boundaries = no border problem. Democrat immigration policy at it finest.

There is no substitute for a valid CCW. Know your state laws. For example A CA permit holder can cross into AZ but not NV, both neighboring states, while carrying. 27 states honor a CA CCW permit. CA honors 0 state CCW permits.

Operation is key. I found it best to advance and retreat, advance a bit further and retreat versus pushing through in a single pass. And yes on the water assist if it moving at all.

While true there is reciprocity between some states the states of DE and PA ( in the original question) share no such agreement and the FFL is not a CCW solution. However 31 states have open carry law (no permit required) but DE and PA are not on that list. Open carry states require a permit to...

DE does not honor CA CCW permit and it is much harder to acquire than a DE permit. A lot of this is just politics. Afterthought. I googled DE CCW permit requirements. Yikes, I stand corrected. 5 personal references and a newspaper publication of intent to permit is beyond what CA required

We need a federal reciprocity law. The idea has been floated by the Trump team. A right that has to be licensed, permitted, or delayed is a right denied. Would like to see the supreme court take that one. I dont think UT is right for DE and PA States in red are recognized in both states...

Consumer confidence is what brings the economy out of a recession. When people feel their economic situation is secure or about to improve they have the confidence to make purchases and that spending can in fact make recovery a reality. Seen it play out 3 or 4 times in my lifetime.

It's both lol. I have 3.1 and a 3.7 inch barrel and slide and I have the magazine extension for added grip. The longer barrel improves accuracy and velocity for reaching out. But the short barrel is more comfortable for appendix carry. Do you have a P365 too?

The answer is yes, I'm experienced enough to operate a tractor safely without a built in seat safety. Same is true for my car, my truck, my van. All of them have no seat safety and all have the same damage potential. I do not rely on built a in safety to be safe. I know it's not for everybody...

I hope your cousin gets well soon. I've never owned a stick shift tractor. I do have a dangerous piece of equipment with a stick. It's fuel injected and it has zero safety Nannys. You can bet your bottom dollar I check the shift lever before I reach in and turn the key
