Here's a funny parody of the fox song...tractors included. http://youtu.be/vyMv4kkSCvk

While surfing you tube videos I had to see the Redneck Log Splitter video. Wow, this is a huge accident waiting to happen. I know annually there are lots of farming accidents and its bc of cockamamey ideas like this one....check it out. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=40sCGb678sQ

Im not sure if this is the best place to post the question, but its the place on TBN that I visit the most and value everyones opinion. What are everyone's preferences on smart phones? I need a good tractor-worthy smart-phone that is rugged & dependable for everyday use. I work indoors but am...

Has anyone ever constructed a concrete headwall for a tinhorn? I've got an 18" tinhorn that is at the end of a 800' dowhill drainage ditch that dumps into my creek. The water has caused the end of the bank to slough off and into the creek. We have put in a 24' tinhorn and are building the area...

So I was brushhogging this AM and found my way onto a near flush-cut eastern red cedar stump (hard as he$#) and then my BH started making an odd noise. Looked underneath only to see one blade hung up on the pan. Couldnt free it in the field so had to flip it over and remove the pan. Turns out...

We had a strong thunderstorm drop 8+" of rain back in May and it caused our creek crossing under our driveway to flood. Our downstream side of ourtin horn's wingwall also started to erode away. I realized that we are getting all of our neighbors water off his land, onto ours and down our...

I went to inspect my JD RC2060 gearbox for oil this weekend (dont ask how long its been) and noticed i'm low on oil inside. Upon further inspection i found the oil to be white/tan in color. From what ive experienced this usually indicates the presence of water. Several questions arise: how did...

Today I ordered an automatic gate opener to be installed on our property. We've needed on for 5 years but havent wanted to compromise in quality so we opted to wait. Our gate is a 14'8 wrought iron gate custom built by a local welder in the area. We bricked around the posts shortly after install...

Ive been clearing some brush out over the past few weeks. Its the last acre or so of my property yet to be cleared. Mainly scrub brush, small saplings, and the occasional eastern red cedar. Typically i use hand tools (ie hatchets, loppers, machete, axe) so as not to disturb too much topsoil...

So im a bumbling idiot sometimes. While clearing an area of brush, i got my BB hung up on a stump on the back corner and bent a draft link lift arm. While trying to bend it back, i snapped it. Now ive gotta either buy a new JD one or find some aftermarket ones online. Any recommendations? The...

Has anyone had any experience with these programmers?? Found the ad on a local CL posting. Think it would work on my 3203 ?? Ive heard they really crank out the torque on those BullyDog Truck kits.

I know this isnt MY project, however it is related to me in that it involves the road I live on AND it will involve tractors. Does it qualify? You be the judge. Nonetheless, we live on a 2.5 mile stretch of road that is a divider between 2 cities. Therefore, each entity has to be involved in...

We have a long (1100') gravel driveway put in when we built our house in 2008. It has a 6-8 inch deep base of 3-4" crusher run. Then was top-dressed with 3-4 inches of 1.5" crusher run. About 5-600' is on a good downhill slope and it drains from east to west naturally. With a good rain i have to...

Well so far its brushhog tail wheel 1 and craftsman impact wrench zero. I had to replace my bolts that hold the tailwheel onto the hub of my brushhog, however i think ive burned out my 1+ y.o.craftsman impact wrench trying to drive in 3 bolts. I think the thread angles were different so they...

Well, our next project is beginning. We have decided to build a 12'x28' cedar pergola on our back porch. We are not affixing it to the house but rather anchoring it to the concrete slab. We are in the process of staining all the boards with a stain and protectant called TWP ( Total Wood...

This has been on my mind ever since we moved to the country 5 years ago...how to efficiently move your trashcan to the curb/street for pickup when you live far off the road. I have been loading the trashbins into the bed of my truck and taking them up to the road. Since I have been trying to...

I'm looking to build a cedar pergola on our back patio. Does anyone know of a good, cheap cedar supplier in the Oklahoma City area? I've even contemplated on using a local saw-mill to cut some cedars down on my property and maybe give me a break on my lumber prices. Much help is appreciated!

I am looking to put in a sidewalk along the side of our house and around back to connect to the back patio. The total length is about 65'. I believe the sidewalk it will connect with is 39 inches wide. According to online calculators, it appears to be about a 3 yard pour, if we do it 4 inches...

I've always wanted to have a windmill on our property. We have a perfect elevated, rocky outcrop in our backyard. I know you can buy the 8' ones inexpensively at TSC, but i want to build a wooden one that is more to scale. Does anyone know of any free plans online for a reproduction. I know...

Well, another project is nearly complete. I am in the final stages of building my second bridge on the property. The first one was a learning project and served us well to get us to our barn. See my attached link to a previous post of mine...

Well, after much thinking I finally bit the bullet and purchased a pole barn kit today. I've had the blue-prints for about 3 months, already drilled the holes earlier this week, and should be getting the lumber and some materials on Aug 2. What may seem like a simple build for many has had me...

So I am ordering a pole barn kit from Lumber 2 tomorrow and I still am wavering on my colors. I am building a 30x40 with a 10' porch along one side and will have wainscoting along the bottom. We built our house in 2008 and it is tastefully settled in the country surrounded by trees. I have the...

So after many months of browsing TBN project threads and posts (I think I'm on page 76) I've decided to build my own polebarn. I've decided on a 30x40 with a 10' shed along one side. My sidewalls will be 12' high, and I'll have a single 16'x8' OHGD. My needs are basic: tractor storage, lawn...

I am planning to build a 30x40 pole barn this spring/summer and I want to run electricity to it. I walked off the distance this weekend. It looks like about 265' from my house (where I will back-feed from the meter/panel) to the nearest wall of the barn site. Is this too far to still be...

I'm new to TBN, but I am so glad that I found this forum;it's about as close as I can get to a "man cave" until I get my barn built this spring/summer. One of my many questions to debate is the difference in thickness or "gauge" of steel siding. I have spoken to many local pole-barn builders...
