Yes, Kubota made lawn mowers for two years. I bought mine in MD in 1993. A W5021-sc. Best lawn mower ever made. It has worked at least once a week since 1993. However this last week it just died, like it ran out of fuel. So I go online and find they still make parts, put a new exhaust and...

I am asking about how the RTV with tracks is welcome on snowmobile trails. Are they even legal to run those trails? I see many snowmobile clubs groom track with a tracked RTV do people use those as their many transport. So far all I can see is regulations against steal tracks on the trails. Can...

Thinking of going to active solar tracking system like Wattsun Trackers produces. Anyone have a system up and how does it perform. Everyone tells me to just put up more panels for the extra money, but 30% more efficiency seems hard to pass-up at any price. Example youtube Wattsun Solar...

Ok, so you live in Texas and drought conditions have taken your stock tank or pond down to nothing, dry. What to do? I was thinking of taking the good soil from years of run off and taking it to the garden and rototilling it into the soil there for next years garden. Then liming the whole tank...
