He was one of a kind. Along with some of his music , I also enjoyed his reality show, especially when he'd call for his wife - "Sherrinnnnn". One thing that sticks in my mind is him grumbling about being the prince of darkness while picking up a mess left by one of Sharon's little dogs

God Only Knows Brian Wilson, Beach Boys visionary leader and summer’s poet laureate, dies at 82

I always believed that in the compact and sub-compact class Kubota were selling at a good size premium to JD and a huge one to other brands....guess I was wrong, maybe they are a bargain.

Mine is also 20 years old although not a NH, like yours it had been seeping hydraulic fluid for a while. Turns out it was a slightly cracked hose for the power steering. The mechanic who serviced it told me it took longer cleaning up the machine to locate the leak than to actually fix it.

Like living in a kennel.....I go crazy with just a couple of flies in the house

There are little beech sprouts all over the place, hopeful some will make it disease free, some ash sprouts as well but not as much. Maybe it will be like with elm, they do grow and some reach around 20 cm diam. , just enough maturity to reseed before they die in a matter of a year or two.

As soon as the Mrs steps out the little monkey jumps on the kitchen counter.....I am not the one who enacted those rules so I am not enforcing them

Some healthy looking beech still here...most scab covered ones were removed the last 10 years, maybe 20% left of what it was 2 decades ago. I even have a few isolated good sized ash tree but 99% are gone. Butternut hickory were wiped out in the past 10-20 years though.

Only one of The Highwaymen left now

blue beech is a misnomer , it is actually in the birch family. I guess the name comes from its smooth greyish bark similar to a beech tree but with very distinctive ridges . it is a very potent firewood but judging from the ones on my land it never excedes 6-8 inches diameter (15-20 cm)

beside black birch we do have those other species around here--I am 50km north of the border--but they are few and far between save for hophornbeam which is common but like you said is only a small understory tree just like blue beech (carpus caroliana) another widespread small high BTU tree...

maybe you are confusing rock/sugar maple (acer saccharum) with red maple (acer rubrum) because ''decent" firewood doesnt do it justice. As firewood I would pick it over any other specie.

They showed up 50 years ago and by the mid 1980s they were wide spread , at least up here same as with japan made cars

Where are you in northern ontario ? to some it starts at lake simcoe , to others it is much further north like north-bay/sudbury

I am with you on cherry as a firewood , it is fair at best, even the abundant lowly soft maple is much better in every way.

my tax receipt states 126800 square meters. its somewhat confusing up here as people will use either arpents (old french measure) acres or hectares (metric). 90% is wooded, sad thing is its 61 metres wide by 2158 long.

ours is not so much cocky as standoffish , aloof and dare I say it...snobby. but then the next minute she loses all sense of decorum jumps on your lap and attempts to lick your face

her Highness after a visit to the groomer/pet salon, she is actually real nice and down to earth for royalty

I have used FB marketplace number of times to buy and sell from ATV to furniture, chainsaws , compressor you name it, always worked fine with great response time when priced appropriately. Never heard of Craigs list before opening this thread so I had to look up if available in Canada....so...

it looks so much bigger in the garage

If you can swing it financially the 500i is the cats meow

if its indeed a fawn in its jaws then I say cougar, if its a groundhog size then I think bobcat, a squirrel or some similar then its a housecat

Same here, reds are abundant and make up over 50% of my firewood, I favor sugar maple the most, oak and yellow birch come next. In some parts of the wood I will even favor white pines and hemlocks over the reds.

I havent been to the states since they started requiring a passport, as a kid my folks routinely took us to the Plattsburgh NY municipal beach on lake Champlain or shopping in Burlington VT whenever the CDN $ spiked near or over par, it was only a short drive.

1st picture poplar-basswood-ash keep in mind I am not familiar with the kind of trees growing in your area 2nd picture is definitely northern red oak, no doubt about this one

good deal, I am a bit of a Kuibota fanboy but for that kind of saving I' d turn into a Kioti fan. If it was only a couple grand difference I'd stick with Kubota for the name recognition and all it entails.

Is the larger front wheel optional?

Good thing my nearly 20 years old MX will most likely outlast me because I could not rationalize buying a new one for the 100 hrs/year I put on it.

It doesnt weird me out one bit, I am a metalhead my fav band is Megadeth but I appreciate Sinatra especially his more jazzy stuff. But I always felt Dean Martin had a better singing voice, velvety and like liquid gold only Frank had better material.

you cant tell the size of the feline on the pic so my vote goes for housecat. there are like a million regular cats for every cougar or bobcat out there so odds are in my favor

Keep cat treats handy at all times ?

Our suitcase type Honda 2000 watts inverter gen runs the 1HP pump fine, it peaks in the 12-15 amps area and the well is 50 feet deep.

Fiber doesnt run on phone lines, at least in my area it is underground. They then solder up a connection to your house, they may charge if your house is a certain distance from the road and their fiber line

To my complete surprise they ran fiber down my lead to nowhere country lane 2 years ago, I bundled TV, internet and home phone with them. I picked the lowest speed offered, 30 up 10 down and it works like a charm. Maybe I am missing something but I dont understand paying extra for blazing speed.

Same here, looks like 50% appear immune so far, both large and small. Still some good looking ash and elms left although over 90% of those are gone.

Unless you can buy them through New-Holland dealers I dont think you can get a LS anywhere in my province. Kioti does have a few small dealerships so for the sake of of this thread I just priced a RX7230 to a comparable Kubota M7060 and they seem to be pretty close in price.

Kubota I believe is the most talked about brand on here but you never hear about their M8 which is only half the size of the behemoths AGCO makes.

$10 k less than a similarly equipped Mx6000 yet as large as a M7060.....great deal

There are plenty of videos of cats standing their ground when facing a fox also some showing cats messing up or even killing barn owls but the safest bet like you said is keeping the cats inside and let the foxes be.

TractorData.com Ford 2120 tractor information According to the site linked above it is indeed a 1988

My friend just bought a Ford 5610 2WD , his rig was slipping and sliding so he figured he needed some weight in the back. Drove his tractor to the nearest garage and had his rears( 34'' rims) filled with liquid calcium. They told him it added 4000 pounds of ballast.... sounds like a lot ...

I miss his take on whatever topic he commented on

I just finished reading the "rust on my kubota" thread and it quickly switched into a debate on how modern tractors wont last as long and are not as well built as those vintage ones. Good points made on both sides I reckon but it left me wondering on what makes a tractor vintage/old iron and...

Are these steering wheel lock bars used on cars any good...how much time will someone waste on cutting/grinding those off...my tractor(Kub MX 5000) is in an enclosed barn, chained to the concrete, loader tilted and front wheels turned away from the door so to make it a must to start it in order...
