    PTO Link Easy PTO Adapter

    I did a search and really couldn't find much on this PTO adapter that supposedly makes PTO attachment much easier. Trouble is, unlike 3-point quick link systems like Pat's, this this seems WAY too expensive for what it actually is/does. I desperately hate wrestling with PTO shafts and lining...

    Comparison  Smallest compact tractor for lifting full size round bales with FEL

    I've currently got a 2008 Kubota L3400 HST which works great for most work around the my small farm, but one thing I hate is that its not heavy/strong enough to safely pick up full size round hay bales with a front mounted bale spear. Right now I have to take off whatever implement I'm using...

    Credit Cards that offer TSC gift cards as rewards

    I use my Discover card for most purchases (and pay off my balance every month) and use the 1%-5% rewards points to buy gift cards at less than face value, but the only gift cards Discover rewards offers that are even vaguely useful to me is Lowe's, but I don't really go to Lowe's that often. I...

    Rural Security: Entrances, Gates and Locks

    I live in a very remote area of south central TX. My driveway is almost 1600' long and that is off of the end of a long dirt county road. My gate is right up near the county road but my house is generally not visible from the county road, which is completely intentional (don't want anyone...

    Bulk Water Softener Salt in TX

    Anyone know how to get bulk water softener salt by the pallet or the ton at a significant discount over per-bag retail? Retail stores like grocery stores, Home Dept, Costco, etc do not offer discounts for large quantities of bag salt, and I'm looking to save some money by buying in bulk...

    Peanut Planting/Harvesting on Small Acreage with Compact Tractor

    I'd like to try my hand at planting a small peanut field (6-7 acres) to produce peanuts for hay, fertilizer and for personal oil pressing (not for resale, I don't intend to sell for a profit). However, it looks like just about all the equipment for peanut planting and harvesting I've seen is...

    Operating Hydraulic Implements Without Rear Remotes

    I tried to search on this but didn't come up with anything that really applies. I've got a Kubota L3400HST that has a FEL but did NOT come with a rear remote hydraulic valve. I want to be able to operate rear mounted hydraulic implements like a log splitter or a cement mixer dumper but I don't...

    Maintenance Filters

    So I'm coming up on the dreaded 50-hour maintenance for my L3400HST and since I'm doing myself I'm looking to save some money on filters and consumables. I've already discovered I can get hydraulic fluid and oil cheaper at TSC, thats a no brainer, but what I can't find is an alternative to my...

The dirt in the area is about 18" of sandy loam over maybe 15' of hard yellow clay. No rocks. 1) Theres a ~6 acre old hay field on it that hasn't been worked/cultivated in maybe 15...

    Mechanical Brush Clearing Attachments for Compact Tractors

    I'm interested in learning about attachments for controlling thick woody brush and small trees using only a ~30HP compact tractor. I have 23 acres of heavily overgrown central Texas land that I want to clear to some degree using my Kubota L3400. My place is a mixture of open formerly...

    DoughertyTR3200 Tractor Turbo Saw

    Has anyone ever seen/worked with one of these PTO-mountable tractor saws? Seems like they would be an attractive alternative to buying/renting a dozer for clearing land of medium-large trees. They claim all it needs is a 30HP tractor, but they dont mention whether thats 30 engine or 30 PTO HP...

    Mesquite Thorns: Slime vs. Ultraseal

    I'm about to buy a new compact tractor to maintain my 23 acres in central Texas. I've got a fair amount of pasture with tons of small <3" mesquites that need shredded down pretty bad. I plan on getting R1 Ag tires since the soil is pretty sandy (I still don't have any definitive proof that R4...

    2008 Kubota L2800HST vs. 2009 Kioti CK30HST

    I know there are lots of older threads about Kioti vs. Kubota, but there are a fair number of new variables to consider here. I've been searching around for awhile for a decent price on a ~30HP 4x4 tractor package with loader, box blade and shredder. Ive got 23 acres in central Texas with a...
