    Tire Selection Anyone go from R1 to bar-turf and regret it?

    This is the specific one I saw that looked pretty interesting: Tires are pretty old/ worn out and appear slightly mismatched with the front. I'm a bit skittish to use 4WD unless I'm in something pretty deep/ sketchy so as to not damage transmission.

    Tire Selection  Anyone go from R1 to bar-turf and regret it?

    Considering trying bar-turf to replace R1. They look pretty grippy to me and would like to try something different. This is for a small-ish tractor (regular "B" Series) I mainly use for (light) forestry, occasional snow removal, and tilling. Also have a mid-mount mower for it I rarely use but...

    Astronomy

    There's something to be said about doing it the "old" way. Any Ansel Adams photo pretty much shuts down the argument of digital being far superior to film. It's a true art. Having said that, your camera is an absolute bargain considering the results. Very nice image!

    Anyone know what this plant is?

    Got it. Albeit sideways. Straightens out when you click on it though.

    Anyone know what this plant is?

    I used to mow over it repeatedly when it kinda looked like cabbage. One day, I said what the heck, I'll let it grow to check it out and see what it looks like. It grew FAST. Scientific name?

    What tool do you find most useful on the farm for general use (besides tractor)?

    My vote is this: Cotter pin puller. I've used it on more stuff than I can count. Always end up grabbing it when I need to get creative.

    Comparison  Massey GC1700 series

    Anyone have experience with these? I'm in the market for a small jobs tractor. I thought I'd narrow it down to the usual suspects until I saw the little Massey. Looks really nice. Thoughts?

    So, what's YOUR idea of the perfect place to live?

    Kepler-442b But seriously. I really like New England. All seasons, ocean, mountains, not heavily populated, etc.. “If you don't like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes.” ― Mark Twain

    SCUT for a 3/4 acre lot , am I nuts??

    It's all about the $. If you like it, and can afford it, you should absolutely get one. I see tractors as kind of like GPS. Once you get one, you're like, how did I EVER get along without one? As for my money situation, I would buy this if I were a multimillionaire even though I can't really...

    Tire Selection Is there such a thing as a tire in-between R1 and R4?

    After some googling, it seems I'm thinking of a tire like this. Wide and flat-ish like a loader with an ag pattern. But that's a giant Trellborg combine tire. Just found it interesting. Thank everyone so much for information on the technical aspects/ definitions I didn't know about. I have a...

    My cat retired!

    For over ten years I've had the best farm cat. He patrolled many acres of kicking out undesirables up to and including woodchucks. I've literally even seen him stalk a deer once. Well, now he just watches the woodchucks eat whatever is in the gardens like he's watching a nature show on a...

    Hi from CT

    Found some great information in here. Finally decided to de-lurk. Google Mapping how far timewise people are from where I am (by automobile if in North America). Kinda weird. But I guess I'm just nosey! :)
