We got 16" of snow on top of existing 12" and the temperature has been around -10°f to 3°f for the last 3 days. I was out pushing some snow, making a path to my skids of firewood which I store all the way on the other side of the property because of rodent issues. well... about halfway, the snow...

I have been looking at purchasing an enclosed car hauler/cargo trailers and have several options, but was wondering if its worth the extra for an all aluminum instead of steel/alum? Do they hold up better or worse? I have only ever owned steel trailers which the paint falls off and they get...

I have quite a few of these... but 4 years ago I set out to replace the entire heating system in my old house on a new basement. There is now 2000 feet of PEX routed in the sub-floor with a 10 port/zone manifold, each room has its own thermostat and the basement slab is heated but is only 1...

Came home from the store and I seen my neighbor, who just got back from spending the summer in Alaska, trying to cut down his acre field with a hand string trimmer. I walked over and chatted with him for a bit and he said he tried to rent a tractor to mow the field but no one in town has one to...

I don't have paved driveways and I was tired spreading all my gravel all over my yard with my back blade. I got a free set of skid shoes and thought I would hook them up to my back blade but also make it so I can remove it all when not needed. Here is what I did, for anyone who is interested...

I just finished up filling all 4 tires on my little xj2025 tractor and just thought I would share if anyone cares to know... the front tires hold 5.75 gallons each and the rears hold 17-18 gallons each. Total weight ~ 400lbs

I'm thinking about building a lightweight snow removal bucket for my little XJ2025 tractor. The tiny bucket it comes with is great for doing dirt work but snow doesn't weigh much and i would want to get as much as possible with each scoop. I looked at larger buckets at the rental shop or...

Was out pushing some snow around yesterday and a bit after I noticed a small puddle of coolant on the garage floor... looked all over couldn't see anything but they pack those engines in so tightly, its hard to see. Wasn't the overflow. I'm thinking it came from the lower radiator hose coolant...

Came home and my tractor was getting its weekly dose of snow, so I thought I would see if it could cold start with out using the glow plugs... LS XJ2025 Tractor - cold start - no plugs... - YouTube why? because I could... :laughing:

I've been searching for a couple years now for a "cheap" rototiller because I'm a poor bastard and I finally found one on CL that I was willing to buy. Got it for really good deal because I bought it with a couple other implements. Is this thing worth fixing up or should i just run it as it is...

I built these pallet forks from a pile of (s)crap steel I have in my back yard and today Ive been moving things around in my yard with them, now that it stopped raining for a bit. I have some videos ill put on youtube later. I built it out of .25 thick steel 2x2 square tube and 2 chunks of 6...

On Monday, I was working on my SSQA pellet fork build and went to pull the front of my tractor into the garage because I didn't want to wheel my welder out of the garage. There is a 1.5 - 2 inch lip on the concrete leading up to my garage door and with the tractor in High range it just wouldnt...

My FREE set of SSQA pallet forks! I needed a set of forks for my little tractor and could not justify the cost of buying them so I built this ugly thing from a pile of CRAP steel in my back yard on Monday... while home on a sick day from work :) With my lift cap at ~ 1270lbs or so, it didn't...

I got these forklift parts for free the other day... are they worth building something with or should I just eBay them?

My brother dropped this off at my property this week and I don't have a use for it. He tried selling it on CL, but had no takers. He got it for free and was just about to take it to the scrap yard but I told him not to... so apparently its mine to deal with now.

I am going to be doing some trenching between some trees to bury a bunch of sprinkler lines I currently have on the surface and my hoe came with the 12" bucket. Im only planning on digging down about 12" and would like to use something like a 6" bucket so im not having to move to much dirt...

I'm curious to know how others or their dealers connected the backhoe to the tractors hydraulics for those who have the same configuration. FEL and BH I assumed the backhoe would have been connected to the tractor via an optional quick connect remote valve kit but instead I see hoses running...
