Maybe your assumption man couldn’t fly before the flood is wrong.

Leica SL and Voigtlander 50mm F1.2

Have an Olympus Pen micro four thirds camera. Looking to move up. Full sensor or crop or stay with micro 4/3's. Cameras under consideration, Pen f, Fugifilm X-T2, Fugifilm X100f, Nikon Df. Your thoughts? I travel so size and minimal fuss is important. I love the old school retro looks of...

Steve Harvey having a great morning. Lol.

Thanks for the pictures. I may go forward now. HS

love the sail shading system. Tell me about it, thought of doing same thing over last three years.

Wish America would quit feeling sorry for those who resist arrest and are carrier criminals. Wish media could get it right, Florida, Baltimore, Ferguson, they get it wrong every-time. Media and President to blame. Premise for protests not true. HS

Well, 40 years ago today I was in Ketchikan Alaska a board USCGC Resolute for the bicentennial. All ships were to blow horns and whistles at 1400 eastern time, the time the deceleration was signed. That was 0800 in Ketchikan. An eagle had landed on the ship just before 0800 and flew off as...

Thought you diesel gator guys might like to see one doing maintenance work for an Apache unit at Ft Hood Texas.

Lived in Hilo for years, love that town... Do you fish? HS

What you missed I guess was Cam Newton over the season saying he was best QB to exist, that the media didn't know how to cover the best QB that's ever been, inferring on pregame because he's black! That all the other QB's have been surpassed by him, that the old guard (white guys) have been...

Yeah, I generally hate this time, holidays gone, no football, no baseball, F1 hasn't started, still to cold to fish, to early to start garden. HS

What a nice morning, great game, nothing better than watching a arrogant racist slammed and shown the door, reduced to hiding in hoody in shame, the proper uniform. The QB question turns to reality. Time for coffee, good morning. Getting ready for big winds today. HS

Just getting up, looks like the nation is shaking it off. HS

Gate ready to go for 4th. Let's see yours. HS

In my county (government) has taken control. There is a laundry list of things you have to comply with to do any burn. Example; county has authority to say no to all burning and publishes no burn days. You must monitor your burn defined as being physically on site. You should call Sherif before...

I am very serous about a greenhouse and have looked for years. Can anyone make recommendations about what they bought. I want vegetables and fruit year round. Flowers too. Like to keep budget below $20k. The picture is my inspiration shot. Are there any greenhouse guys out there. Help me avoid...

Anyone see Yanmars web site advertising three new sub compact models. Notice the color change on those adds. Looks like a change is on the way. HS

Goats feed, had to go find them in RTV this morning. Coffee, bacon eggs, cold OJ. Watching goats warm up in sun peaking through oak trees. HS

Found a Yanmar 186d with 136hrs on it. What's a fair price? Looks like a time machine. Any issues with this model? HS

Thinking of getting a mower. Looking at a new GR series. Posts on older models leaking and having other issues makes me think I should look at other brands, but I like Kubota. Are the new models trouble free now? HS

LS U5030 picking up 1600lbs of cow that had some birthing issues, my daughter in law treating her. HS.

If one was to tackle a Kubota restoration which model would you restore. Which model and year is the most desirable and why? If you could buy any restored Kubota what one would you want? Like classic cars, which Kubota is the "64 mustang". If there are more than one list them in order of...

I was thinking of decorations and lights to put on the RTV 1100 for Christmas. Has anyone else thought of decorating their tractors or UTV's. Ideas and pictures from previous years welcome. I was thinking of some 12v LED's on the rear screen in the shape of a tree, or maybe some rain deer...

Yes, Kubota made lawn mowers for two years. I bought mine in MD in 1993. A W5021-sc. Best lawn mower ever made. It has worked at least once a week since 1993. However this last week it just died, like it ran out of fuel. So I go online and find they still make parts, put a new exhaust and...

Getting ready to do the 50hr service on the U5030. Has anyone else done the 50hr service and what problems did you have? Are there two oil drain plugs in the S4S engine. When you did the fuel filter did you have to bleed the fuel system? What engine oil did you use? HS

Good morning from Houston, foggy and wet. Ground to muddy to work. 61 this morning and warm. HS

I am very close to starting an olive orchard. I have been looking very hard at the JD 76f orchard tractor and may buy a used one. My one big question is can I put a FEL on? I know they are made in Italy and the Italian version shows FEL as an option. Does anyone have experience with the "f"...

Looking for some work boots or steel toe shoes to tractor and work in. What are your favorite tractor shoes? Right now I just tractor in walking shoes but I don't think that is really safe. I know I should get some steel toe shoes. Looking at these, anyone have experience with this brand...

Thinking of buying an RTV 1100, and have a few questions. I like the cab and the idea of A/C hear in Texas. I want to use the hydraulics though and in the catalog all the accessories are listed as for the 900. The specifications don't list hydraulics on the 1100 but clearly all that I have seen...

I am asking about how the RTV with tracks is welcome on snowmobile trails. Are they even legal to run those trails? I see many snowmobile clubs groom track with a tracked RTV do people use those as their many transport. So far all I can see is regulations against steal tracks on the trails. Can...

Thinking of going to active solar tracking system like Wattsun Trackers produces. Anyone have a system up and how does it perform. Everyone tells me to just put up more panels for the extra money, but 30% more efficiency seems hard to pass-up at any price. Example youtube Wattsun Solar...

Ok, so you live in Texas and drought conditions have taken your stock tank or pond down to nothing, dry. What to do? I was thinking of taking the good soil from years of run off and taking it to the garden and rototilling it into the soil there for next years garden. Then liming the whole tank...

Seems like many of the LS guys are x-military. I did 30 years in Coast Guard, retired a W4. Actually the LS is on my sons 55 acre property and he is a W3 Apache pilot in the Army and currently deployed. So, for now I get to play with the tractors while he is gone. What's your military...

New here, broke a shear pin on a Howse 6' HD mower. It's just a steal bolt type of pin. Need to know what grade it is and how long. It appears to be 1/2" stuff. Can't find it anywhere. Help. Oh didn't run over anything I think I just engaged the PTO a little over idle and it broke or I may have...

Ok, so I retire and go out on 55 acres. Put some cattle on the place, raise some beef, produce some hay for sale. Do I just claim it as income or do I start a business. Not sure where the break point is, could I write off equipment costs if I make it a business. What do I do? Is that a...

Here we go. I bought an LS U5030 in the last week of March 2011. I paid cash and arranged for delivery on the 30th of April. Deal was signed and money has exchanged hands. There was never any discussion of an LS rebate program. Now today a get a form that the dealer used to apply for a rebate to...

I have been wondering what I might use the two rear remote control valves for on the U5030. This sounds dumb but I am just discovering this stuff as this will be the first tractor I have ever really got to know. Today I just discovered remote hydraulic top and side links. Wow how cool. Seems...

Just bought a 1610 from RCO in Austin. The unit is a complete rebuild here in USA. Garden duties like rototilling and finish mowing and fence repairs are what's in store for this guy. On 55 acres in Gatesville Tx. Take delivery at end of April. Pictures when it arrives. HS

My son bought an LS U5030 at RCO tractors of Austin. It will be delivered toward the end of next month. I'll get some pictures up when we take delivery. HS

Anyone have experience with a Japanese mini trucks. I am looking at them closely. Seems like a better buy than a Gator type vehicle for the ranch at half the price. HS

Can anyone give an argument for tracked tractor's like the NH TK4030v. Just wondering why tracks don't seem to be even a consideration for a new tractor. Does anyone own a small tracked tractor, how do they compare? HS

My son is getting ready to close on a property with a 980' well.There is water at 500' and the pump sits at 760'. Turns out the pump had some problem and is welded it's self to the casing at 760'. The well is insured and looks like a new well be installed under the insurance. Any...

I don't own a tractor now. I am about to be out on 60 acres of pasture land and will need one soon. I am a car guy and gear head and set out over the last six months to find out what makes a good tractor and which ones are the best. It has fun exploring this question because I want to own the...
