Have a bunch of hillside logging with our l48 this winter, and was thinking about putting same size or maybe one step larger forestry tires instead of the r4's which would have to be chained up. I wasn't to tear things up as little as possible. Anyone know of a good source for forestry tires?

Hi folks I have become totally dependent on my little kubota here at fish camp. At this point if it were to go down even temporarily it would shut my operation down:( So I figure it is time to get a backup tractor now! That said I really like the euro style articulated, same size tires(duals...

We have a small family farm with a couple dozen cattle. A neighbor has done our haying for 40 years with small square bales for 1/2 the hay. This year we won't have enough so we have to buy some and were thinking on trying round bales. Found a good deal on 800 lb bales trouble is they are 2x...

Since this is turning into an advice column on other issues here goes. I have been dabbling with breeding red labs for awhile now and besides being a whole lot of fun it more than pays for the kibble! One of the owners of our pups from the first litter had her hands full with life and the pup...

farmageddon Just watched this last night, netflix has it on the instant watch stuff. It was pretty interesting/scary stuff about just how far our governmental agencies can and will go to squash the small independent farmer. Makes you wonder if maybe some of those rural firefights that happen...

Hi Folks, As you all know one thing leads to 10 others. When I had to dig up 50' of my 24volt electical line to find the short in a splice I figured I might as well dig all of it up and bury it again in put inside some free 4" pvc pipe I salvaged. While I have it all dug up I am replacing my...

I set up the heated water supply in the new greenhouse unfortunatly it made a nice fountain halfway thru the night. I have 3 55 gallon drums stacked on their sides and as the sun warms the drums the hot water goes to the top drum where I take it off the top to water and fill the bottom 2 drums...

A root cellar is moving up to my short list, if it ever stops raining! What say you TBNers, yea or nay to venting it, I have heard good arguments both ways. Rick

Well on the way to plunk the $$ down for the ford, or at least an hour before I left, found this on the web in Bend. Decided it was a better fit for our needs so now I own half a Kubota here in Oregon, I want the back half tho, sweet backhoe and don't have to sweat the widowmakers:D Don't worry...

I can't believe that people are putting those steel arch truss buildings up in 3 days. Has taken me almost 3 weeks just to get all the arches up but got the last tonite:drink:scotch n a cigar. Then tomorrow get to bolt it all tight and then the end walls, might make it done by thanksgiving. End...

I was thinking about making a boom attachment to put on my backhoe bucket for a taller lift. I searched through old posts, found lotsa good stuff on bent cylinders but nothing about extending the reach of the bucket. Has anyone done this with their bh bucket or know why you could/couldn't do...

I will be spending a couple months in Oregon every winter and we have very slight cell service on the family farm and none at all in any of the buildings. Is anyone aware of any kind of antenna or booster that will up the signal strength for area instead of those metalic stickers for the cell...

I have to haul a bunch of rocks to make a breakwater. Have picked up a few loads with backhoe/thumb and put them in the fel but it is slow going the 1/2 mile per trip. I have a double axel trailer I built for a 4 wheeler that can haul 1000 lbs. Was wondering if I attached a ball hitch to a...
