Hello all, Are any of you guys involved in the Leon to Marquez Inlet pipeline? I got my initial offer for an easement. The easement is on the edge of my property so very minimally intrusive. My understanding is the initial offer is always a low ball and so I’m trying to figure out how high I...

Just got a quote to install a new 500 gallon tank and put 400 gallons in it. $6,000 for above ground and $7,400 for below ground. 1. do these quotes sound reasonable? (there is a $200 fee included to get to my property) 2. is it worth the extra money to put the tank underground? I have plenty...

I have an MX6 cutter on a 5065E tractor. When I first bought my property, I learned where all of the rocks were and where all of the discarded wire was. I tore up my cutter and blades. It reached a point where the cutter would smoke even if I wasn't cutting anything thick. I took it to the shop...

Good morning everyone! I have unsuccessfully tried to find information on TractorByNet regarding how to select a good sprayer. I'm hoping you guys can help me out...again! I need to spray fence lines so my electric fence will work. I want to spray a couple of fields to get rid of some goat...

Good morning! I bought my property last year. Pretty sure the previous owner never cleaned the barn. I am pulling everything out, putting in some new shelving and then putting everything back. I intend to use a blower and pressure washer to clean up all of the wasp nests, dirt dobber nests and...

Hello everyone! I have 50+ Boer/Kiko goats that I keep fairly well contained on my property. Some of my fencing has 12" openings and a couple of the goats have learned to escape. I have a couple that seem to constantly get their horns stuck too. I've been lucky to get them all out so far...with...

I just built two goat pens. One is 8x8 and the other is 24x8...both are about 7' tall in the front. I didn't want to put the posts in the ground because I plan to move these occasionally. I had planned to anchor them with augers but thought I should reach out here to ask for your input. How...

I'm sorry for the dumb question. In the area where I live, I can find anything I want simply by googling, reviews and so forth. At my place in the country, I'm having some challenges. You guys have been priceless so I'm hoping you can help again. I want to do some work on my road/driveway. I...

Good morning everyone! Have any of you installed mini-split, ductless a/c systems? The home I recently bought has had the attic converted to living space. The upstairs is around 850 square feet. The previous owner has one (old) window unit to cool the area. I don't like window units and I...

Building: I would like to have a multi-purpose, small building built. I'm thinking a steel building would be most cost effective. Probably 18x30 would work. I want to put a pool table and game room together but also have a kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom. I might go a little bigger on the...

Good morning all - I've had my tractor less than three weeks and I already have a flat, rear tire. I've watched various videos for how to remove the wheel. I've seen some information on various fix-a-flat types of products. My question: do you guys have any recommendations for fix-a-flat stuff...

Good morning everyone - figured I'd lump a few things together. I appreciate any advice. 1. Fuel - I have a diesel tractor that I use for cutting and general ranch work. Probably will only use it every other week or so I'm guessing. I read about red-dye diesel. I'm trying to figure out if it...

I'm about to buy a new tractor. I have a good rapport going with the John Deere dealer and have numbers to work with. I have not had much communication or response from the Kubota dealer. I've heard JD is more expensive but holds the value better. My quick conversation with the Kubota dealer...

What is the best way to get decent internet service in the country? I'm out in the Marquez/Jewett area. Looking into WISP's, satellite and Windstream. The Windstream installer suggested I use a WISP provider. What do you guys do? I need pretty decent speed for work. Thanks!

Hello All - I am about to buy a new tractor. I still need to explore Kubota further but regarding JD, I'm looking at tractors with the large (3,600 lb) FEL, 6' cutter and 48" pallet forks. I am being told insurance is added to these prices and an origination fee will be added. Do the following...

Hello Everyone! I just bought land and I have a John Deere 2030 tractor and a 35'x96' greenhouse that were part of the deal. I have two questions: 1. The tractor has a hydraulic problem but I don't know exactly what the problem is yet. It has 4-5 implements with it. I love the old tractor but...

Have any of you put GPS locators on your tractors, mules and trailers? Any recommendations for best products? I want to be able to locate my expensive equipment if it gets stolen. Regarding security, I have 66 acres that I'd like to be able to see remotely and/or record trespassers. Seems like...

Good morning - The land I am buying has an ag exemption for goats that are raised on the land. I may or may not keep the goats so I'm considering transferring to a wildlife exemption. My question has to do with the benefits. My understanding is that for property tax valuation purposes, the two...

Good morning - I just bought property with a pond. I had a company come out to analyze the pond. I received some good feedback but not as much detail as I was hoping for. I was given stocking recommendations. My question: have any of you stocked your own ponds? I did some price shopping...

Good morning & Happy New Year! I just bought a property that has 31 goats and 4 kids on the way. They are Boer goats. I will close on the property in late February and then I'm letting the seller stay for up to 60 more days. Bottom line, I have some time to solve problems. I'm learning as much...

Hello All - I have a very unusual situation. I signed a contract to purchase 66 acres out in the country, north of Houston, Texas. The day after we signed the contract, the current owner was notified that the Permian Global Access Pipeline is or may be impacting the land. I am within my option...
