Op, I don't know what your long-term plans are for this 1/4 acre. I have a 1/4 acre garden patch that I'm wanting to expand next year. I use a BCS with a 30" tiller. My brother has one that gets used some as well, but mine is the primary machine. I would till up sod with my tiller. It might take...

I see some people reporting favorably about brands that specialize in outdoor power equipment. It reinforces a theory I have. That is, a company like Milwaukee, DeWalt, etc, that started out making drills doesn't do as good a job at making OPE (outdoor power equipment). It seems the companies...

My brother won a give away at the Equip Expo in Kentucky. He ended up with 6 M18 trimmers! (He was only expecting 1!) So he gave some away. I got one for my birthday. My experience has been similar to others here. The rpm's are slower than gas, even in turbo mode. Probably the biggest reason I...

I can't comment on the T-shirts, but for socks I use Darn-Tough. They have the highest % of wool of any sock I've found (great for letting your feet breathe). Also they have lifetime warranty

I'll add another one here. The cultivator attachment for my BCS. I don't like to use the tiller after the garden is prepped, but I need to take care of the weeds. (Southern OH, so plenty of heat and moisture) The cultivator doesn't mix soil layers the way the tiller does. It takes very little...

Also my Milwaukee power tools. Specifically the 3/8 stubby M12 impact wrench, and the 1/2 high torque M18. I have a few other tools, but those ones, especially the M12 3/8 are my go-to power tools

I came across a product called Free All a few years ago. It works similarly to acetone + ATF, but having used both, I'd say the Free All has more lubricity. It's not as expensive as it used to be, and is a lot more available than it used to be as well. Free All has helped me remove bolts that...

Great info on the PT. Just an FYI on AC tractors: most of them are gear driven so the transmissions last forever practically

Just curious if Power Trac requires proprietary attachments. I'm a little familiar with them, but not enough to know what attachments they take. The Antonio Carraro tractors hook up to any regular 3 pt hitch attachment. I wanted the Carraro because they still offer a gear-drive transmission...

This is the loader I would get if I needed one. These tractors weren't really built with a loader in mind, like was mentioned already. There are loaders that mount on the front but I wouldn't want one of those. I really don't see how their hoods are that much longer or harder to see over than...

These are typically found in vineyards in the east and west. There are good dealers there. If you're in the mid-west, you might be farther from a dealer than is practical

I agree 100%. I was actually pretty serious at one point about getting an Antonio Carraro and putting a heavy-duty flail mower on it and do custom brush mowing. Maybe they would be a bit small for your application. They import up to 75 hp models. They have bigger ones but those arent imported...

For anyone that is needing to get their CDL, check out Ross Enterprises in MO. Before the ELDT stuff came into effect, he did a one day training and testing for $700. He is still doing something similar, but is required to do a minimum of 4 hours of class time. So at this point his program...

I can't comment on the registry thing. I'd get in contact with him and see what he says himself. There seems to be enough interest here that I thought some people might benefit from hearing about him.

I'd like to chime in on the CDL thing. Go check out Ross Enterprises in Paris, MO. Last year (pre-ELDT) he was charging $700 for a day of training and the testing fees. If you just need the license and don't need the perks that schools use to try to sell you on themselves (like getting you...
