    Removing “grass” in sandy soil

    Hey guys. I’m looking to remove what once might have been a lawn for a customer and then prepping the area with dirt for a future lawn. 2+ acres. The lawn is mostly weeds and grasses on top of sandy soil in south Texas. I’m curious on what implement you think might work best. I have a loader...

    Easy rops brackets

    Hey guys, Just thought I would post a little tip I figured out over the weekend that may help someone else. Spare tire brackets like this one from Amazon work great as a mounting bracket for your rops. You can clamp it right on and use the existing bolts to mount a toolbox or string trimmer...

    BCS 720 engine stop lever cable

    Hey everyone. My father has had a BCS 720 Harvester with a sicklebar mower sitting in his yard outside for 5 or 6 years. I finally picked it up last week hoping I can get it back running.

    Flail mower

    Hey guys. I've been reading your discussions for months but just joined today. I bought a Massey Ferguson 1526 (25HP) a few weeks ago with a box blade and I'm looking at getting flail mower now. This is my first tractor and I'll be using it around my property and as an addition to my small...
