    Grapple

    Ok what do you guys think of this grapple. I love the looks of it, but I have my concerns about this being made in China. Not to mention how accurate are the pictures and how about the thickness of the tines. I'm not sure but they may be a little thin. 34" Toro Style Grapple Rake Attachment...

    About a year ago I spotted a thread where someone made the slickest lock for his sliding door on his shop. You couldn't tell how it worked from the outside. It would make it very difficult to break into. Any one know which one it was?

    Plow conversion

    I might have a lead on a 60 inch plow from a grasshopper mower. My first question is, should I weld it to an attachment plate solid or hinged and lift it with a chain by curling it back?

    What is it about a Power Trac

    We all know how good these little machines are, but what is it that makes them better for you than a standard CUT for you? They both have there advantages and faults. So what is the one thing that you attribute to it being better for you. I have my own theory and will post after a few of you do.

    Can't find attachment

    I remember 2 or more years ago seeing an attacment for a tractor that held 5 or 6 logs about 10 foot long. It was some how slotted or something that let you cut the logs to firewood length with a chain saw. Do any of you folks know what I am talking about?

    Lawn Roller

    I was wondering what you folks think of buying one of these and cutting off the tongue. Then mounting a quick attach plate. My concerns are that the bearings and axle would not take some of the forces applied to them. I would think they are not designed to take the weight of the roller when...

    Cleaning my PT

    I was wondering if there are any tricks out there for cleaning the bottom of the tubs, AKA engine compartment. I used a preasure washer but it is difficult to get the blast of water where you want it. It also doesn't have much of a flushing action out of the holes in the bottom. I don't think...

    Hydraulic expert wanted!

    I bought my PT425 with an aeravator from First Products. Both are used. The attachment calls for 1800 PSI and 8 GPM. The PT has 2500 PSI and 8 GPM.
