I know that. I'm nearby and wanted to see about renting the trencher.

Where is Aaron located?

I have had situations where my monthly balanced increased significantly and I paid them off each month. It did not affect my FICO score.

Friend of mine was bitten on his ankle last month. He stepped out on his deck at night to let his dogs out. Didn't turn on the lights. That's when the copperhead bit him. His wife rushed him to the ER in town. Of course she got pulled by the town cop, but then escorted them to the hospital...

I haven't had any problems with mine. Whatever works!

I use Wedge-loc. They work well. https://wedgeloc.com/index.html

I am also really pleased with the cut quality on my Ironcraft 12 ft batwing. Eddie - what camera set up do you have?

This thing cuts like butter! I am soooo pleased with it.

Did you fill out a forwarding order for your brother? If so, the sender can request an address correction and that is how they get your address.

I never lift the BH when backing up. The wheel should swivel as you turn. When backing up, it should flip around 180'. Have you greased the grease fitting to make sure it swivels easily?

Make your own solution - 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. Better than store bought.

It's been too wet here to mow. I've got 100 acres to mow. I don't know if I'll ever catch up/

Isn't that the truth?

Found this paddle boat at the dumpster today. Needs a little clean up. I can use it on the pond. Neat!

My TN65 does well pulling a 12 ft batwing, so it should do well with the equipment you have listed. I bought it 3 years ago for $15,250. It's a 2003 model, had 1400 hours, FEL, included installing a 3rd function, grapple, bucket and hay spear, delivered.

Oh man - I just bought the 12' Ironcraft. This doesn't give me a good feeling.

Same situation here in Virginia with the ash trees. I've lost dozens of them.

12ft ironcraft batwing rotary cutter.

Delivered this morning. Should reduce mowing time in half. Only problem is that it's too dry here to mow.

Got the tree saw today and tested it on a few trees. Like cutting through butter. I think I'm really going to enjoy it.

Like your 'Stang.

I have a Deweze. Works great. Makes life a lot easier.

Haven't received it yet but will be sure to report once I do. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks.

That looks like the same crew that did mine. It was a father and his 2 sons.

This is the site I used. It gives you the price as you build it. https://www.choicemetalbuildings.com/steel-metal-buildings/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlbLKjsbohQMVVWdHAR3XPgqxEAAYASAAEgLZsPD_BwE

Shed I had put up last year. It's 48 x 36. Pic was taken just after they were finished. It is full now.

The tractor I will use, the NH TN65, is 47 hp at the PTO so I don't anticipate any issues there. It also has a grapple on the FEL. Delivery is still 3 - 4 weeks out. Can't wait.

That's a Sidewinder mower. Great mower.

There is an old farmhouse on my property. When the house was built over a century ago, they used motor oil on the exterior clapboards. The clapboards are still solid.

May her memory be a blessing.

This is the post I started about a similar problem I had. I ended up ordering the Brown Tree Saw. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/brown-tree-saw.475132/

1st longhorn calf of the year.

342 acres, 100 in pasture, rest wooded.

Very nice. Front tire looks like it needs air.

Pear tree is over 100 years old. Horses are Tennessee Walkers, full blood sisters.

What are you using to drag with?

No, just cattle and horses.

Yes, there are 12 teeth and they're $28/piece. I don't foresee needing them for a while.

Brwon says the cutting edge is good for 200 to 300 hours of cutting time. The edges, which are carbide, can be rotated 3 times, so each cutter has a life of 800 to 1200 hours. I think that will enough for what I'm doing.

It'll make an 8 inch cut. If the tree is bigger, cut from one side and then cut from the other side. Most of the cedars are 6 to 12 inches. Cost is $6k delivered. That's a lot but I figure I can sell it and recoup some of the cost when I'm finished. The key thing is that it'll allow me to put...

Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger today. Brown told dealer up to 60-day delivery time. And no, I did not have to pay 100% up front. I will post pics once I get it. Thanks for the feedback.

I would be using the New Holland TN 65 which has 47 HP at the PTO. Brown suggests at least 30 HP so I'm good in that regard. I also have a grapple for the tractor. Maybe I can sell it to you after I finish?? LOL.

Thanks for all the input. The tree saw cuts at ground level, so stumps would not be an issue. The biggest drawback that I have gathered is the constant turning around in my seat. I've had neck and back surgery so that would be an issue. BTW, the saw costs $6K delivered. That's another major...

The field is about 16 acres. I plan to burn the trees once they are piled up. I don't want to bull doze or pull up the trees because of the resulting holes that would leave. The field would then be used for pasture with yearly bush hogging.

A nyone have any experience with the Brown Tree Saw. Not to be confused with the tree cutter. I have a field that has been overrun with 6 - 8-inch cedars. Hundreds of them. I've tried using a chain saw but I don't think I'll live long enough to do it that way. I've checked into other ways to...

The sidewinder with the tire?

#1 - 6 ft cutter. Ordered 12/30/22, received 3/27//23.

Is it slipping? Check the tire pressure. It should be about 40 PSI. If it still slips, take out a shim under the wheel hub.

I went on their website and built the shed using their 3D program. Price was updated as you built it. The rep was very knowledgeable and actually saved me money by telling me that the snow loads in my area didn't need upgraded posts. Drew Estes Building Specialist Choice Metal Buildings...

Here is the thread I had when my shed was put up last year. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/tractor-shed-is-up.466937/

Talked to one of their reps a few weeks ago at the Southern Farm Show in Raleigh NC. After some quick calculations, the cost was near the price of the ag lime by the time you factor in the cost of the shipping and equipment to spray the liquid.

Seems cheap for short term action. I paid almost $70/ton to have ag lime spread in November.

How did you apply the paint?

Thanks. I try to spread it out, so the land doesn't get rutted up. They do a pretty good job of eating it up so there isn't much waste.

Calving season has started.

Looks good to me.

Happy belated birthday! How's the foot?

I would move the carcass out of the field. Those bones will flatten a tire. Ask me how I know.

Some of the herd enjoying the pastures.

They're listed in his profile.

I have 4. Each one excels at a specific purpose.

Those are decent prices.

No sheep.

A few calves enjoying a newly mowed field.

Ford 5000 pulling an EA 6 ft cutter. With all I have to mow, I really need a batwing.

Thanks. Ony 5 more fields to go.

Another 15 acreas done.

EAB got all of my ash trees. Friends got a bunch for firewood. Enough for several families.

That hurt in more ways than one.

I will speak from our experience. We have a 4300 sq ft two story cape cod style house. There is no way to tell from the outside that it is a modular home. The house is solid as a rock. 2 x 6 outer walls, 9 ft ceilings, and almost every extra offered by the factory. It's almost 12 years old and...

This is a thread I posted earlier this year. The company I worked with was great. You can go on their website and build your shed and it shows pricing. Really neat. Let me know if you want their contact info: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/tractor-shed-is-up.466937/

Don't need an accountant. IRS Schedue F is very easy. Also, if you purchased the supplies within the last 3 years, you could claim them on an amended return, Schedule X. There is no need to over complicate this. Just my 2 cents.

...A ....and I thought I was the only one with a loss every year.

That is correct - you remove the shims to lower the tire. Also make sure the tire is at 35 PSI.

You don't need an LLC to deduct your operating expenses. The supplies you purchased can be deducted on IRS Schedule F. It is a very easy form to use. That's the way I have operated for many years.

Got this field mowed today. About 16 acres. Only six more fields to go.

I see a lot of mule tail in that field. I've got a good crop of that. What do you do for that?

...oncoming cars that won't dim their high beams. Wish it was legal to shoot them out. And is it my imagination or are 18 wheelers all using bright lights too?

Heck of a deal.

I thought I had a lot to cut with my 100 acres of pastures!

I'll give you $11,000.

I imagine you could pour a slab but I don't plan to. Raising the shed would be a daunting proposition.

3 ' rebars every 5' through the ground pieces, both inner and outer. Then 3' anchor screws that are adjacent and then bolted to the ground pieces. It is rated for 145 mph winds. If we get 145 mph winds, I've got a lot more to worry about.

3, a father and his two sons. I was impressed with how they worked as a finely tuned crew.

The tractors are home!

4k for site work, 12k for building. Shopped around and got a heck of a deal on the building from Carolina Carports. They had a 17% off sale that ended May 31. Only took 6 weeks to get it.

Tractor shed was put up today. It's 48' wide, with 24' center section and 12' lean to's, and 35' deep. 12' tall in center, 9' tall on sides. They started at 6 am and were finished at 6 pm. I am very satisfied with the result. Now I get to put all of the tractors in the shed and not have to...

Was sitting in the den today and a hummer came up to the window peeking in. He said "where are my feeders"? I had to put 2 feeders out.

Metal from Choice Metal Buildings. Compared several outfits, using the same specs, and they had the best price.

Tractor shed site finished. 4" of crusher run was rolled. It feels very firm. Area at front of site has 57's that were rolled. Also very firm. I think it will hold up well.

I am in the process of getting a 48' x 36' tractor shed. Had a local company come out and prep the site yesterday. Took off top soil, built up and leveled the clay pad, and rolled it. Tomorrow, he will be topping it with 4" of crusher run and rolling that. Pics of progress so far:

Don't forget to check the bearings in the axles. They're probably dried out.

Those are the best for working around the farm. Great for working with barbed wire, cutting trees, handling brush, grabbing calves, etc. They actually last a long time. Only issue i have with them is the seams sometimes come apart. Simply get out a needle and use dental floss to sew it back up.

When I went up to my front gate this morning, 6 of our cows were standing in the field across the road. I opened the gate and walked around behind them. Took a few minutes, but they walked in. Spent the rest of the day walking the fence to find where they got out. Of course, the hole was...

Had mine done in 2004. The worst part was where they had to cut through the muscle to get to the spine. Took a few weeks for the muscle to heal. Other than that, it went fine. Still have an occasional ache but now I'm able to do most chores.

I believe it was a 32 ford Model T. Found it when I was walking in the back of the farm looking for a cow. My wife, who had grown up on the farm, did not know it was there.

Is black knot fungus harmful? While mature trees can handle the fungus, those with weak branches or the trees that are younger cannot, and the disease can lead to tree death. Black knot fungus is also dangerous because of how quickly it can spread

Oddly enough, we had a young deer get caught in a woven wire fence yesterday. By the time I saw it, it was already dead. So, barbs were not an issue.

Friend of mine says he's had it for over 30 years.

I don't have a pic. The top deck of mine is all rusted out but it still cuts like a champ. One of these days I'll replace the deck.

Man, your sidewinder looks practically new compared to mine.

How much do those big square bales weigh?

10 miles north of the NC line, off I-85.

Yes, 35 psi. It'll start to slip when not properly inflated. Haven't had to replace the tire in over 20 years of use. I have a live PTO so it ramps up.

Correct. No slip clutch or shear pin to worry about.

...also make sure the blade bolts are properly tightened.

I just pop the round cover off and slather the grease in. I use grease from a tub. I only check it about twice a year.

We've got 3 of the 32 ounce feeders. Have to fill them every day. We love watching the little hummers.

On both my 4000 & 5000 I mow in 6th gear on land I've mowed before. Of course, there are places where I have to slow it down. I find it very manageable.

My Snapper LT200 riding mower finally gave up the ghost after 20 years. I like the new Snapper SPX line because they have a fabricated deck that is 10 gauge steel. But, they are not to be found. I searched a 200 mile radius and no one has any. One dealer told me that he ordered them last year...

I'm not asking!

Paid $35 per 900 lb roll delivered this year. Already been told it'll be $40 going forward. We usually get 200 rolls, so that will be a bite.

It looks like it's been rode hard. There's no telling what else is wrong with this tractor. You'll probably end up spending a lot more time and money on it, not to mention the aggravation. I think you're on the right path in looking for a 4000, just not this one.

Thanks for the replies. With the dyed diesel going for $4.69, I'm trying to figure a way to stretch it. I'll try the 20/80 blend.

Anyone priced fertilizer lately? I'm afraid to ask my supplier. I know lime is over $100/ton. We put down 100 tons last time so that will have to wait.

One is probably the regular carrier and the other is a substitute. The regular is paid the measured amount. The substitute is paid an hourly rate.

On what facts do you base your statement? Tax revenues have never been used with the exception of franked mail and mail for the blind. Franked mail is mail sent out by congressional members.

What do you mean by last mileage route in the country? All rural routes have their mileage measured.

The mail is processed on automated equipment. The number of pieces going to the permit holder is billed accordingly. The equipment recognizes the bar code at the top center of the envelope as being business reply and therefore does not recognize the stamp.

You say there is more fat to cut. Can you be more specific and what facts are you basing that on?

I thought I got rid of them year before last. Lo and behold, they were back last week. As East30 stated above, they do quite a bit of damage. I make a little break in the dam and wait for them to come investigate. A .243 with scope works well.

They are very simple to use, almost intuitive. Works great, fast and simple.

Here she is...

I have an Echo pole saw. I use the same method you describe. I just make an undercut and them rest the saw on top of the limb. The weight of the running saw on the limb is sufficient to complete the cut and I don't have to hold the saw up.

Some of their relatives must have lived here. We had a similar issue here. The people that lived here would go to the county dumpsters and bring back all the junk people dumped - tires, metal, junk. We have spent countless hours trying to clean it up. Must be a Virginia "thing".
