Normally we get about one tarantula a year, somewhere around the house, in the fall. We have had 5 in the last week, two from the attic. If you're in the "they're so cute, let them go" school of thought, look elsewhere. Now. We do not want to hear it. #1 was on the main entrance door when...

This morning about 4:30 I was out and the two dogs next door had set up a most unusual, piercing, and repetitive bark. I had projects in and out, but about 7:30 I noticed that it hadn't abated in the least. So, I took my air rifle down to the corner of the pasture to investigate. It is a...

I hate buying a mega $$$ tool only to find that when NiCd batts inevitably need replacing, they either a) cost as much as the original tool or b) are no longer available. I don't know about you but this seems to happen to me a lot. I know about NiMh and Li ion and I'm sure it's better to buy...

I will just leave the politics out of it, and let the article speak for itself... Secret Service tractors protect Obama G8 | The Sun |News

I'm sure most people think southern California has wall to wall high speed internet. I guess I assumed it did, too, until I moved to rural NE San Diego county. My little spot was cursed... too far out for DSL, no cable (how did a certain company get the franchise?), no nada. I didn't like...

Kubota B2320 with 2 acres or so of actual pasture, mostly weeds, pretty flat compacted dg, silt, and some sand. I would like to renovate and maybe do a small planting area. I have found used disc harrows to be hard to find and often pretty beat. I am looking for something my tractor can manage...

I have found that 1) I can trench more with rentals than I can possibly install in one shot, and 2) trenches do not age well. The upshot is re-digging all those trenches out by hand with a contractor's shovel, or cobbling up something that allows the CUT to help with the chore. Neither have...

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but our local farm tourist attraction opened the pumpkin season this weekend, and hosted an antique tractor and gasoline engine show. I snapped some Blackberry pix from the parade and thought of y-all. My little girl loved it, and maybe you will find it...

The mower has been parked for a couple of months. Now, it starts right up, but neither forward nor reverse pedals will move it at all. This is completely new- it worked fine when I parked it (in a garage) last. The mower PTO engages fine, and the blades spin as they should. It just won't go...

These are cheap, light-duty Gearmore clamp on forks, and I have no illusions about their ability to move mountains. But they keep coming in handy for all sorts of unexpected reasons! They came up in another gentleman's thread so I thought I would show them off here. My Kubota dealer "comped"...

I set the "Implement Lowering Limit" on my new B2320 so that the rotary cutter would be level at the lowest setting. Dunno if that's right, but that's what I did, and it seems to work. After I park on level concrete and shut it off, it is still sitting level and purty in matching orange when I...

The brand new B2320... I was mowing the neighbors for fire control with a Gearmore rotary mower. They have a lot more "terrain" than I do. There is a bowl shaped depression (a holler) and I was skirting the drive around the rim. I know just enough to go straight up and down slopes to avoid...

I am going to pull the trigger on my first CUT, a new Kubota B2320, this morning. It will have FEL, RFM, and box scraper. I have searched this site intensively (among others) and I want to thank you all for giving me the confidence to move ahead with this. It came down to this or the JD 2320...
