Cleaning up years of property neglect. I just came into the property about a year ago, so I have plenty to keep me busy :)

Posted 2-19, finally took a pic. The thing still needs to be cleaned up and painted but I've been too busy using it :)

I've got hundreds of overhanging limbs to trim and have decided to purchase the STIHL HT-131 Pole Pruner. This thing is NOT light weight at 17lbs. Thinking of manipulating that weight for extended periods was not a source of excitement :) I started looking at the STIHL harnesses and was about...

With spring fast approaching, warmer weather will bring out the critters - snakes included. I thought this might be a good time to have a little Q&A to see if we could share experience(s) and perhaps learn something to help keep us all safe. I know my property in northeastern Oklahoma, as for...

How about this one?

I've had a Ruger Mini 30 tactical, model 5854, on order for almost a year now. Tick Tick Tick Anyone know where I can locate a NEW one of these?

OK, which is it? Black Oxide High Speed Steel Cobalt Titanium Which keeps its edge the longest? Does brand matter?

Ginger and her sister Maggie. Precious and beloved creations.

I think my dealer sold me the wrong transmission filter. It is substantially smaller in diameter than the factory filter. The only label I see on the factory filter is T2350-53141. When I search that online, I just get hits for the stick on label. Pfffft The filter I was sold is T2185-38031...

I was just wondering, how many are using software (especially free) on their computers and smartphones that is useful for managing your property. Share your favorites and why you like them :)

Had some grapple fun for myself today. I did manage to rip it off the FEL later by using it to pry backwards on a massive root ball that was stuck in a debris pile - lol. Luckily, no damage to the hoses. Just had to get things re-hooked and went on my merry way.

Prompted by another forum thread ... What is the "SAFE" FEL lifting capacity WITHOUT adding rear ballast to the DK50SE HST CAB? I know I went over that limit a few times - when the rear tires decided to lift instead of the forks - lol. Time to just skip that load and move along.

Nothing fancy but a few of my recent projects.

Anyone using a "Heavyhitch?" https://heavyhitch.com/store/category-1-hitch/category-1-hitch-and-bracket-for-suitcase-weights/ I like the idea of having use of a receiver hitch and rear weight at the same time. I will be pulling a dump trailer to location(s) on the farm, while using my...

Finally ... RAIN! After almost a month of dry, this is a welcome sight. The drought, at least in northeastern Oklahoma, has lessened this summer but we are still a little short on moisture. Much of the state remains in greater need. Finished hauling the 237 4x6 bales just yesterday, so I'm...

My dealer was out of stock on the hydrostatic filters for my DK50. Where is the best, meaning reliable and least expensive, place online to order my filter? I need the HST filter, part # t4125-38021 Free shipping is a nice plus :)

Kyle - Thought about tubing the tire? I've gotten years of service by using tubes, from tires that would otherwise have been difficult/impossible to repair.

Beautiful day in Oklahoma. 85 heading for mid 90s. After a summer wondering if the rain would ever stop ... 3 dry weeks now, and wondering when the rain will return - lol. Spent the morning clearing up the plot in our pasture where my wife buried her beloved Golden - Big Red. We call it Big...

Sorry to hear you lost Sofi. These animals are such a gift and become integral parts of the family.

Here's her sister - Ginger. They were litter-mates and have never been separated. I love them so much. They are my second pair, having lost my previous Goldens around 15 years of age. Her "friend" in the 2nd image is one of my other dogs - 5 total. His name is Hercules but he generally...

Oh my gosh - her feelings would be soooo hurt :) Yes, that is one of my Goldens - Maggie. She is such a sweetie. The pic is of her being quite relaxed - lol. These are both pics of her - different poses :)

Good for you! I was widowed 11 years ago at the end of this month. She was only 44. I learned a lot through that experience, about myself and about being a good husband. Sadly, it took a great tragedy to bring wisdom and I regret so very much that I wasn't the man I am today for her...

What a BEAUTIFUL morning ... thank you God. Mid 60s this morning, heading for mid 90s - but, looking forward the temps are about to break and will soon see highs in the 70s and 80s. I'm looking forward to the temperature drop so I can "enjoy" working to clean up some dead trees around the...

JD, it just doesn't speak well of you to hear the name calling of your ex. Divorced? Fine. Let it go. And, need I say, shacking up is not a good start on the next one. It shows disrespect for your girlfriend, and people that live together before marriage have a far higher divorce rate...

Recently received my new grapple from palletforks.com but today was my first chance to put it to use. It seems there is always tree debris along the fencelines, and it wastes hay when the cutter has to veer around. I'm guessing I can recover a good acre or two by cleaning up the edges of my...

I could see a downturn in my hay quality this year. The pastures have not been fertilized in at least 10 years, so I thought I'd give it a go in the spring. I've not had the soil analyzed as yet, so the exact mix is still an unknown. I have access to a 500 gallon pto sprayer, so that will be...

The DK50 has a Remote Rear Implement Control Lever - for raising/lowering the 3pt while standing behind the tractor. Works fine - until I connect the rear auxiliary ports to my grapple. At that point, I can use the control lever to "raise" the 3pt but NOT to lower. The operator seat control...

A few questions about the Kioti Rotary Mower ... Do you own a Kioti brand rotary mower? How does it compare to the major players? What did you pay? As a general question, what are the pros/cons comparing roundback design to squareback? I'm planning to purchase a 6ft rotary mower soon for my...

Is there a way to search for a PHRASE instead of single words? For example, searching for ROTARY MOWER would return tons of useless hits for Rotary and also for Mower.

Two of my six babies :)

Imagine my surprise, to learn the cab radio has no headphone connection! Has anyone found an easy solution to this problem?

Just posting a simple introduction as a new member of TBN. Bio: Somewhat of a newbie :) Worked in computers for 40 years then retired to 110 acres in northeastern OK. Currently no livestock but selling hay from the 90 acres of pasture. While I wasn't particularly interested in investing in...
