its skirting from the bottom of home to ground. I have seen people use brick, concrete blocks and they will usually have vents built into them. Personally I was going use metal from a old roof tear off. Just keep critters out and knock down wind chill.

I had the whole cabin sprayed with open cell foam. I only have plumbing in one section of cabin. Im thinking of just underpinning that area. It not being underpinned has helped out on widelife staying under there. Located in south west Arkansas so doesnt get single digit cold.

I built a 480 sq foot cabin back in 2008 on some family land. I never had it underpinned, would just winterize it in the winter. Last year my wife and I moved in it and this year we added another 500sq foot room. The insurance company is wanting me to underpin it. I dont have a problem with...

I got this old welder from a friend. Of course I’m trying to understand how to read this chart on the side of it. I took this photo off Lincoln’s website. I’m looking at getting a couple rods. 6013 and 7018. My first question does these two rods come in various sizes. Like 3/32, 1/8, 5/32. I’m...

I’m thinking about using some mesh panel welded to 1” square tube. Probably be this winter before I can start on it.

Here are the wire connectors and I have them zip tied up. That doesn’t stop sticks from hitting them and ripping wire out. I’m going have to come up with some protection. It’s bush hogging and I will run over 1-2” brush. I would love to have a skid steer but not in the budget. I do have a heavy...

I have been broke down twice now because of brush hitting the wires that run underneath the NH workmaster 70 tractor I have. I mean what were they thinking when running those wires there open to anything. Has anybody designed a protective box to bolt under each floorboard on right and left side...

Today was last day to work on tractor before I pulled it out of woods and on a trailer headed to dealership. After checking all switches with volt meter or jumping them. I started taking the big grey connectors apart below left side floorboard and spraying them with contact cleaner. I then would...

Hopefully this helps someone down the road. That switch in photo with yellow band is neutral safety switch.. You have a sensor under seat that’s easy to get to. You have a two sensors below the pto linkage and the one that pto linkage depress is safety switch. I really don’t know what the switch...

Can someone tell me if this works s the neutral safety switch? It’s the yellow piece. If so what would you jump it with a paper clip?

Pto is off. Could I not just jumper the neutral safety switch? Can someone specifically tell me where neutral safety switch and pto switch are?

I was using tractor bushhogging yesterday in some gum bushes and it just died. Will not crank and I have no idea where the safety switches are at. There was a bush hung up under the left foot pedal and there are some wire looms hanging down but no wires seem to have been pulled out. I have...

I’m going have to check on manure. I would have better luck finding chicken litter. Personally I don’t know of any cow or horse operations big enough to sell manure from.

Well I got the time because I have just relocated to the small town I grew up in. I’m trying out and finding the problems with an older dump truck I purchased. Then I’m going use the older dozer I bought to spread all this sawdust out. Probably go a foot deep. Time is no problem on waiting for...

Yes it’s my gravel pit and yes diesel is very high. We don’t have a lot of top soil in my area. Hardwood mill is about 10 miles one way so 20 miles round trip. Just trying to make that gravel pit less of an eye sore.

I have a friend that works at a hardwood lumber mill. He is giving me all the sawdust I want if I will haul it off. I’m thinking of hauling it to an old gravel pit that was stripped of top soil long ago. I have a 15 yard dump truck so thinking of hauling 30-40 loads. Maybe dumping it and...

K5wlq how would I be able to use the buttons on the FEL stick to work grapple. How would I incorporate them into the solenoid valve I need to add?

Thanks K5wlq. That gives me something to work with.

Ok thanks for answering guys. Can you kinda get a little more specific on what I need to do. Like where would I mount the valve and what would be a good system to use?

Any help would be appreciated

I purchased the 2016 workmaster 70 and was told it had a third remote. When I hooked grapple up the buttons on the lever want work grapple. The only way I can get grapple to work is by using the green handle lever by right fender. Here are some photos to show what I have. Can someone explain...

I was able to haul a few loads of gravel yesterday. As I get more comfortable with machine and don’t have to think about what motion controls bucket, arm and boom. I’m far from being smooth but at times it all goes right and I look like I knew what I’m doing. Then i do something stupid like dump...

Thanks for the replies. I went to a big gravel pit today and watch them dig. I think I have a pretty good game plan. Will make a bench and work my way down. Want get to high with bench.

I recently purchased an 28,000lb excavator and I’m trying to figure the best way to dig gravel with it. Prior to excavator I dug into hillside with a back hoe. I basically scraped the wall of gravel down and pushed it up with the front bucket and loaded in dump truck. Does this seem that be the...

Do certain manufacturers put their axle’s more forward of the trailer. Most of the gooseneck trailers I have seen on line have them more to the back.

Thanks guys i appreciate the comments. I also didn’t know so much went in to towing a trailer. A lot of information has been givin and advice. I’m still leaning more to a GN but realize I shouldn’t have a problem with my setup. Ricky

PBinWA I saw that and it looks like the gear set up I have 11,900 is it. Wish it had 4.30 that would boost it about 2000 lbs. not something I would change out.

I added those weights in original post. the truck per Ford website says it weighs 6914 lbs. here is rating plate

I have a 2012 super duty 6.2 gas with 3.73 gears. I purchased this truck to move my tractor which is a new Holland work master 70 with FEL. It looks like all I can pull is 12,500 with my truck. I can’t find anything that says I can pull more with a gooseneck than bumper pull. A gooseneck is...

I’m going pull that 3 wire back out and add a #6 wire to it. I couldn’t find #4 but Home Depot sold #6 by the foot. After doing that I will separate my neutral and ground. do I still ground the sub panel in shop to ground rod? Do I still bond metal beam to ground lug in panel? Thanks

LD1 I installed a electrical pedestal behind my shop. The power from the co-op comes from the powerpole to the pedestal. They required me to have 2 200 amp meters. I installed 200 amp meter/main combos at the pedestal. One for house and one for shop. They have a 200 amp breaker in them. so I’m...

Grsthegreat. If I ran the 4th wire which would have been a ground wire. I’m thinking I would have separated the neutral and ground at shop panel and still ran a ground wire to a ground rod. I can still pull service wire back out and run a ground with it. Not a very hard pull. If I do what size...

So connect copper wire to metal beam and ground rod. Thanks

I live in a rural area so their is no code inspector. I had a metal building built out of red iron. They put metal pads in wet concrete to weld the beams to. When concrete was poured nobody thought about grounding to rebar in concrete. The electric company made me run a separate meter to metal...

I’m sorry not OSB but CDX plywood.

My wife wants a brick wainscot on two sides of metal shop. I allowed for the brick ledge. Now I need to but some kind of wood down where the brick will go. I’m thinking 5/8 osb and adding tyvek. What wood would you guys recommend. Thanks

Yes sir I understand now. I thought my old tractor had ssqa. Understand now it doesn’t.

I’m talking about how it hooks to gel. Here is my bucket

Can someone look at the photos and tell me if this is the skid steer quick connects. I honestly thought my Ford 4630 had those but it’s a little different than what’s on this grappler. Will upload a photo of the 4630 connects in a minute.

You got skills for sure.

Picking up a 7’ tomorrow actually. Been on order for a few weeks

Yes sir I am doing that this weekend. OOSIK what’s a lpgs

Carl_NH you gave me an ideal. A couple of years ago a neighbor gave me a couple of grader blades to get them out of his yard. I could order those tines and covert one to a rake. Beats spending 500-800 for one. Rick

I was looking at iron bull. Have to get measurements for them. I don’t have a clue if it’s made by LS. I haven’t seen any metal ones put out by New Holland

Any recommendations on a metal top for workmaster 70? I cant find anything for sale that's metal and fiberglass want last me in the woods with this tractor. Thanks in advance.

I don’t think the cylinders are leaking. I think the fitting is leaking which makes it appear the cylinder is leaking. I to think the hose’s will get pinched. I really need the root rake now while it’s dry to use. I can weld it up and paint it. Sell it when wicked rake comes in. This one I can...

I have a 65” EA wicked grapple on order. Just ordered it 5 days ago. I think I will get this weld it up to use until the wicked grapple comes in. I only got 100 more days to wait.

It needs welded on one side but it’s priced cheap. Just trying to see who makes it and thought someone has one like it.

I’m in a very rural area and we are lucky to have city water. It was only possible years ago with a grant from federal government. the green can cement I got was heavy duty clear.

I ran 11/4 pvc from meter to house which was about 270’ I then continued the run to shop with 1” pvc. I had purchased two can of blue cement and 2 cans of purple primer. I took the blue back and got the green. Always thought blue was the best. Thanks guys for your help.

JJT good catch but I’m only going do about 1 acre at a time. Should have typed that in. I’m going to go talk with a farmer that selling off his land about his case 550 dozer. If he is selling I may be buying it. Jeff9366 you think the ratchet rake will catch all or most wood and let dirt thru...

Jchonline its a little to much area to push up in a pile. I do think I could start disking it and then maybe run a rock rake thru it to gather up my wood (trash) Sea2summit the back 4 is not as clean as the front 3. There are some roots still left and some ruts left by the dozer. Of course I...

Basically both areas since I have the trees taking off. The front three acres is down to dirt with no grass but a bunch of small broke tree limbs or sticks. None bigger than a 2" and I picked most up by hand on the bigger stuff. One the back four acrea I have taken all the pines down and going...

I have ran into a bit of a snag. I cleared about 3 acres for a home site and have started clearing another 4 acres for a back yard or open area to home site. Most of the work I have hired done and they removed 7 year old pines so not much of a root. The person I hired came in with a small dozer...

I have a 94 ford 4630 2wd tractor for the most part I have been very happy with the tractor. Really need a 4wd tractor and starting looking at the Workmaster 70. I have found one at a dealership that they took it on trade and are replacing the hydraulic pump, it has the the 3rd remote and 925...

My connection will be to a rural water supply that is supported by a city water supply so no well here. the Oring 2” pipe is used by a lot of water companies that supply water to areas. This is what makes up the water line that I’m hooking up to. I have personally never used it but to my...

Thanks guys for the comments. The black poly is not in stock anywhere in my area. The only thing I can get is Pex and PVC. I’m thinking I may run 200’ of 11/2 and then go down to 1”. My shop will not have anything but a sink and toilet and shower that will probably never get used. The shop will...

I have to run a water line to a home I'm building and would like to get some of your opinions on what you guys would do. Now remember its hard to find most materials. I'm needing to get the water line in so they can pour the concrete pad for shop. The shop pad is about 350 feet from the meter...

More than likely what I will do but 4wd would be nice and my hydraulics are a little slow

Not really stuck on Kubota but if I where going to buy one that’s my first choice

The 2020 tractor the guy is relocating and doesn’t need it. Told me he paid 40,000 for it all. Don’t know about the 2018

None of the Kubota dealers near me have a mx5400 for sale. I was looking at a hydrostatic transmission Mx tractor. Need to start dirt work on getting yard leveled. My two wheel drive 65 horse Ford has been good but no shuttle shift and no 4wd. There are two in my area for sale. One is a 2018...

HOPEFULLY THIS ISNT TO CONFUSING. In the photo lets establish some direction to explain myself. The paved road sits east of property. This is about 8 acre's that I want to turn into a home place. The rectangle at lower end of photo will be my yard. It runs about 120 yards east to west and a...

I was gifted my grandmothers old house place that sits on a hill. It is only two acres but I have always said I wanted to build my retirement home there. A guy owns 18 acres that sits around this two acres. About 8 acres has been used as a gravel pit. The other 10 acres has been left alone. When...

Any idea on how to get to the o ring on the cylinder type part

I have my outdoor porch almost completed. Getting ready to put on the rails and I’m concerned about these checks in the cedar post. The porch was built with 8” cedar post and second story had a waterproof membrane added and tiled. The water proof membrane goes up each cedar post 2”. My...

I have a second story porch that has 8x8 cedar post 10’ on centers. I’m going to build my own rails with full stock cypress 2x4’s and 1” aluminum ballasts. The 2x4’s will be on edge with a 1”x 6” cypress top rail. I’m thinking about putting a 1/8” flat steel stock in the middle of top 2x4. Rip...

I have a 12 deep porch and had vinyl siding on the back of house that the porch covers. When I took the vinyl siding off I have 7/16 osb board. I知 using 10 wide by 3/4 thick cypress. Will the 7/16 hold the boards if I glue them then screw them to the osb board or should I add another sheet of...

I have a 32' x 12' rear house porch and would like to remove the vinyl siding for the ceiling and put up 1x6x12 pine. Could someone give me some quick instructions on placing that first board down so it's square to my install. I think I should use the 3',4',5' method. 32' lvl that is on the...

I have a 60's model 3006 that jumps out of PTO gear while bushhogging. This just started over the weekend but while you are bushhogging it will start grinding and making a heck of a noise. You push in on the clutch and engage the pto again it goes in smooth with no grinding and start bushhoggin...

I have a house lot that slopes front to back with back being lower. The previous owner had a concrete building built into the hillside in the backyard like a root cellar. When we purchased the home I put up a retaining wall and extended my back yard. The retaining wall starts on both sides of...

My tractor has started well not starting. Some times it starts and sometimes it doesn't do a thing and then bam it starts. Solenoid is clicking but no juice to starter. I can check the pto switch and have. I think I only have two safety switches and was wondering where the neutral safety switch...

Eddie I just purchased my PT lumber and it is soaked and heavy. I'm using all PT to frame up front of root cellar will post a photo later but don't think I can from iPhone. Should I put a fan on this lumber for a couple of weeks. Would hate to see it shrink a lot. I will have top and bottom...

I have a opening that is 7' tall and 20' wide. The walls and top and bottom are poured concrete about 8" thick. I will be framing up the opening with 2x6's and will use wedge anchors on the bottom plate to secure it. I am thinking about using wedge anchors for the top and sides also to secure my...

I am in the process of running 220 to this root cellar or what I call boat house because I keep my boat in it. It is a concrete structure built into the side of a hill. The only part that is not concrete is the front. The bottom and two sides and back and roof are all poured concrete. The...

I have to run 220 wiring into a root cellar I have. I will be core boring the 2" hole about 1 foot from the top. The hole will be bored into the side of building that is 8" thick poured concrete. This should eliminate a lot of hydrostatic pressure going up high on the wall. After I core bore the...

I got one acre of land my house sits on and I need a small tractor for fel and back hoe. I also have a deer lease that I need to bush hog lanes and food plots. When I look at the 3901 I think heck go with the 4701 and then I think heck go with the mx5100. Just can't mke a decision that feels...

I'm looking mostly for a tractor to use at my deer camp. I will be running a medium duty bush hog and a disk. The ground is up and down so a 4x4 will have to be a plus and I like the HST vs gears. Not so much mowing on the side of hills at an angle but going down and back up hills most of the...

Looking at getting a trailer that will work with my Ford 4630 it's FEL and 10' bush hog. Combined weight will be around 10,000 pounds so I know the 7,000 pound axles will fit the bill. My problem is I would love to have a tilt trailer but all the ones I have looked at have the raised fender...

Getting a new subcompact with a backhoe and mechanical thumb with 3 pt hitch. The machine at the dealership has the quick connect at the front bucket and I can just about bet I will never take that bucket off. They will have to go get a machine at a sister store that doesn't have the quick...

Ok guys I really appreciate your comments. Pictures are worth a 1000 words but I don't have any. I have a offer on the home but have not heard back from my realtor. I have no way of knowing how this bomb/storage shelter was built. It looks like they dug into the side of a steep hill and poured...

Had a guy quote me a pole barn build for a roof only and he said only treated lumber was the 6x6 post. He said using treated lumber was a waste of money because it will never come in contact with the weather. Does this sound right?

My father-n-law brought out an old lawn boy mower that is a model 5239g serial#7887018. He was given a primer bulb and on/off switch years ago when he was given the mower. Can anybody tell me about what year this was made and if it's worth anything. I have a newer Lawnboy that uses 32:1 mix...

I'm going to build a 24x24 Pole Barn with 10' roof. Then I will add on two side sheds but this will be latter. This will all be open with just the roof. I live in South Arkansas and the most snow I have ever seen has been 8 inches on the ground. I think my ridge board will be 2x10 but what do...
