    Broken loader pin, need advice

    I need a salt/sand spreader

    I have a bad driveway, steep and with a curve. It needs to be sanded after it's cleaned up. I'd rather not do it by hand so I've been thinking of a spreader that I can mount in a receiver I welded to my FEL bucket and wire to my electrical system. I don't want junk but $1000 seems a little...

    Fun Time Installing Tire Chains

    Installed my chains today L3710 Kubota, not a bad job but it sure tuckered me out. Of course looking at 60 and out of shape didn't help.

    Oh Well! Back to the drawing board

    I had originally thought of this idea to hold my chains, but either I wasn't thinking straight or went overboard on the chains 16' 3/8. There's no way my chains will fit in these. I put them on anyway. I'll use them for tools or first aid kit or maybe even my lunch. I'm still happy with the idea.
