I have two on my Kubota BX24, mounted opposite each other. As the position varies due to the power steering, there is always one available as they move around. Never had them spin into my hand or wrist, and you can easily find one as you are looking elsewhere. Highly recommended. I bought...

Why would the weld be poorly made intentionally???

Bought a Coop Home Goods pillow last week. First night was 'okay', but subsequent nights I've slept better than I have in a long time.

Looks great. I don't 'detail' our truck and SUV, but used to use Nu-Finish once a year. It was better than waxes, in my opinion, but last year we bought The Last Coat, a spray on ceramic coating. It has held up all year, and better that Nu-Finish. Living on a dirt road, it's nice to see...

On my BX24 steering wheel, they tilt inward a bit, due to the rim shape. It seemed awkward at first, but still works fine and I don't even notice it now. Never catch my coat sleeves. So, don't worry about them sitting upright at 90 degrees from the plane of the wheel. I have the larger...

My BX24 has two on it, as they do move around, and therefore one is always in a convenient position. I never bang or bump them... go with two!

Well, they were *just* going to the Pawn Shop! ;-)

You have a Jeep CJ5 with a 3 point hitch??

As this guy notes in the video, and CA announced this week when they said they would phase out all lawn car small gas engines in ten years, lawnmowers put out more toxic exhaust in a shorter time than any cars, trucks or tractors. Maybe you can use his method?

News today, from eastern Massachusetts: A metal piece of concrete equipment fell out the back of a dump truck driving on Interstate 95 Friday morning and pierced the window of a car driving behind, killing the driver, the Massachusetts State Police said. Thomas Arrington, 69, of Palmer...

If the base is bedrock, it sounds like you don't care if the water runs along that... so could you create a roadside wall on the ditch with railroad ties, or just some long straight 6-8" trees of limbs, to keep the water from eroding your driving surface?

Not my caption, but it appears to be an actual photo. Is it a commentary on the aluminum body parts, or could it be an older steel tailgate?

I use these, or the round ring flip type, but throw a wrap of electrical tape over the ones prone to brush hangups. Dirt cheap. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/countyline-square-lock-pin

I use disposable wooden chopsticks to clean out old grease and packed dirt around the zerks.

Thanks. Didn't see that button. I've hit it now. Hope it works.

You're no longer brought to the last viewed page of the thread, though... you have to click the last page number and work backwards. I hope that feature returns.

Just saw this on Facebook... I guess it's his backup system to actually being sure the load is contained?

From Facebook Massachusetts State Police What could go wrong? ... Yesterday morning, Trooper Christopher Kaszyk of the Massachusetts State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section was on patrol on Route 58 in Carver when he observed a Dodge RAM 5500 truck carrying a medium-sized excavator...

That was me. Photo attached. Paul

Cut into an embankment, removing three decent stumps in the process, to create 5 parking spots at my neighbor's house. Paul

Installed some scrapped granite curbing I acquired, at a neighbor's house. Created a garden spot for them, and used to 'extra' pieces as a nice little bench for them.

We created a nice stone table also. This one weighed closer to 900#, I think. I could lift one end high enough to drag it over the base rock, then drop in on top into a balanced position, then nudge it around and sideways until it sat well with a couple of small shim stones.

Helped a neighbor plant a large tablet of schistin his yard. The BX24 couldn't liftthe slab, but I could lever it up enough to drop into the trough I had cut. We placed some 2"x8" planks in the backside of the hole to catch it. My estimate is that it weighed 1,000-1,100 lbs.

Okay, give it a shot, but rather than a front-facing edge, go with a pull type cutter design, so you can use the downward hydraulic pressure, weight and gravity to cut through... fashioned out of your stock, of course:

Finished up a job yesterday for a neighbor, clearing a 90' x 50' jumble of bittersweet and grape vines; black raspberry and trees; old tree trunks, telephone pole sections and railroad ties... I had many hours into the project, and finished the surface with a Ratchet Rake bought the day...

I have a Bro-Tek on my BX24, and wish I'd bought it two years earlier. Mechanical works fine for me. Very useful tool, and enhances the BH capabilities dramatically. In the photo, you can see the ripper tooth I bolt on for larger stumps, which allows me to pierce inward and strip away the...

New acquisition arrives at home. Hoping for snow....

This one was fun!

May be hard to spot here, but and old brass bucket for flowers, with grab handles, has served as a very handy chain holder for two years now. It is snugged to the left loader frame with nylon rope, run through a frame hole then wrapped back around the bucket. Never moves, and the full open top...

Vermont farmer, upset with recent arrest, flattens 7 police vehicles with his tractor | masslive.com

Stopped by Sirum Equipment in Montague MA today, and found out they had lost their Kubota franchise due to low sales, according to someone in the Parts department. That will add 45 minutes to reach the next nearest three authorized dealers for us in the Western Mass area.
