I’m with you, Hay Dude. I think a lot of folks are just tired of the same old way of doing things when it comes to investing or saving for the future. Crypto seemed intimidating to me at first, but what pulled me in was seeing how people all over the world can take part without needing...

When I visited places with higher risk (not the Philippines but spots in Central America and North Africa), sticking with local friends made all the difference, especially when they knew which areas were smart to avoid. I worried a lot at first, but those local connections really did keep things...

Hey Larry, I’ve worked with the Troy Built Pony before, and adding a reverse is definitely possible, but it can get a bit tricky. The kit you're talking about might be for the pulley and the reverse mechanism, but you’ll also need the appropriate linkage to make it all work smoothly. The kit...

While the SSQA doesn’t swing as freely like you noticed with your setup, the Deere design still lets the bucket dump pretty cleanly, but you’ll need to use a little more control to make sure all the material empties. If you’re looking for that extra swing action, the global attachment system...

Looks like you’ve got quite the operation going on! I’m always amazed at how much work goes into keeping everything up, especially when it comes to clearing old fence lines and maintaining ponds. That Stihl KM 131 looks like a solid tool too

Ford’s F450 is pretty much the only option for that wide front axle with a tight turning radius. Ram and GM don’t offer it, so if that’s a must-have for you, you’ll probably need to go back to an F450.

You may need to move it to the side, possibly near the rear wheel rim, to get clearance for the filter.

If your oil analysis is clean, I'd stick with the 5W-20. Switching to a heavier oil could mess with oil flow at low temps. If you're set on a change, maybe try 5W-30, but honestly, I wouldn't overthink it. If everything's running smooth, don't fix what ain't broke.

I very rarely gamble, but I’ve dabbled now and then online just out of curiosity. Once I messed around with a $10 no deposit bonus and ended up turning it into $80 playing a random slot game. Cashed out as soon as the system let me, and haven’t touched it since. I know that kind of run is pure...

Interesting how many of these grows just come and go, lots of people jump in thinking it’s easy money, but between regulations, local pushback, and actual farming challenges, most can’t make it work long term. That’s why if someone’s looking into cannabis from the medical side, it makes way...

More options at Walmart could be a game-changer, especially for road trips.

I’ve been using Valvoline Unitrac in my Kubota instead of UDT. Works great, no issues, and it’s way cheaper.

Man, that’s a weird setup! I’ve mostly run John Deere and Case, and they always had dedicated loader valves, so you’d never lose rear remotes. Fendt’s approach sounds like a real head-scratcher, kinda limits your flexibility, especially if you’re juggling multiple implements. That diverter valve...

Stihl or John Deere might have connections for mulcher balancing

Messick's or Farm Equipment Direct

I’ve had my share of radiators clogging up from fine dust and vegetation. It’s a pain, especially when you're trying to keep things running smooth. I’ve found that keeping an eye on that temp gauge and cleaning out the radiator regularly really saves the day. If you can, blowing it out with a...

Congrats on the new tractor! The RK25H is the perfect size, tough yet nimble. It’ll definitely serve you well for years!

Ph is important, but like you said, it’s just one piece of the puzzle. Nutrients for plankton growth and having a good mix of baitfish is key to supporting bigger fish. If you’re looking to grow bigger fish, focusing on overall pond health and proper feeding really makes a difference.

Might be a bit on the lighter side for really tough clay, but it can still manage in softer conditions or after some rain. You could also try going slower to avoid overloading the tractor or consider adding weight for traction

I ended up welding a couple of brackets onto the top bar so I can just slide my forks in and lift straight up-way easier now.

I ended up switching to a solid rubber tire from a local hardware store, and it’s been holding up great. You lose the air cushioning, but no more flats.

A member of my family started using weed for ADHD from Releaf and has had very good results. At first, we didn't know about such options, but now we're very happy with how it helps manage the symptoms. I know many of you are looking for alternatives for chronic pain or other issues, and I think...

Yeah, I’ve run into that a couple times, usually after working with dry or dusty wood like old dead pines. The fine debris can mix with bar oil and harden around the sprocket, especially if it sits for a few days without cleaning. If the sprocket was hot and cooling down, it can also kind of...

You’re right, lowering the bracket a bit could really help reduce strain and prevent it from wearing out or snapping again

Worth checking with a multimeter to see if it’s shorted. If it is, swapping it out could save a lot of head-scratching

I think the key will be drawing a line between off-site medical use and being impaired at work, just like we already do with strong pain meds or even alcohol. There’s a difference between having a prescription and showing up under the influence. Also, more people are turning to things like...

Since the rabbit indicator is working, it might be the solenoid or its connections. It could help to check around the solenoid for any debris or loose wires and maybe give it a gentle tap or clean it up.

I’ve had good luck with the Harbor Freight tools and I tend to lean towards Icon—they seem a bit sturdier for the smaller stuff like hex keys. But both lines are pretty budget-friendly, so checking some recent reviews might help you decide.

I’d start by checking the wiring around the PTO to make sure there aren’t any shorts or loose connections from when you had the battery issue. Even though you disconnected the clutch plug, there might still be a grounding problem somewhere else

I’ve tried CBD oil for muscle pain before, and to be honest, I didn’t feel much of a difference. It really seems to depend on the person and the type of pain. A friend of mine, though, swears by it for her back issues, so I guess it’s hit or miss. If you’re open to other options...

I’ve played a ton of farming and tractor games, and Farming Simulator is pretty solid if you're after something realistic. It takes a bit to get used to, but once you're in, it’s kind of relaxing. On the flip side, Tractor Mania is good for killing a few minutes without needing to focus much...

I’ve looked at properties with weird parcel shapes before, and they can be tricky to figure out. If the extra land isn’t really usable or accessible, it’s hard to justify paying much more for it. Even for something like a food plot or livestock, if the access is that limited, it might not be...

Using your existing 84-inch rake with a PT mounting plate could really simplify things, and having one tool for both machines is a bonus.

I’ve used a similar one on a small orchard, and getting even coverage really makes a difference. The SR 430 sounds like it might be a good balance between power and ease of use for your 10‑foot trees. I’ve seen some chatter about the SR 200 needing an extra pump for higher coverage, so if you’re...

I haven’t tried the fix kit myself, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some say it works pretty well, while others still run into issues. It might help to chat with a few people who’ve used it before making a call.

For farms or construction work, a tracked skid steer model like the Bobcat T66 is just what you need, offering enough power to move heavy materials and work on tougher terrain. Once you choose the right model, you can purchase attachments based on your needs from here, which are available for...

I had a similar issue a while back, and it turned out to be a tiny leak in the well pipe down in the well itself. It was sucking in air, which then made its way into the house lines. Since you've got a well, it might be worth checking the connections and the pipe itself for any cracks or leaks.

I've run a B series Kubota for years, and they're tough as nails.

I played some classic rock for my kids the other day, and they looked at me like I was speaking another language. It's a harsh reminder that we're not as young as we used to be. But hey, at least we have good taste in music, right?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this crypto stuff, but it definitely seems like it's becoming more mainstream. I'm not sure if it's the end of the world or the future of finance, but it's wild to see how much things have changed in just a few years.

I usually start thinking about replacing mine when I see a lot of cracking in the sidewalls, regardless of tread depth. If you're getting flats, the rubber's probably just getting brittle with age. I'd say it's time to start shopping around for some new ones.

From what I've gathered, a lot of these farms are running on pretty tight margins and rely heavily on government subsidies and crop insurance to stay afloat. They also often specialize in a few key crops and use economies of scale to make it work. It's a tough business, and you're right, the...

I ended up going with some LED replacements from Amazon and fabricating a simple cage out of some scrap metal to protect them. It's not as elegant as the original, but it's held up pretty well so far.

I don't know anyone specifically in Frankfort, Illinois, but have you tried asking at any local tractor supply stores or farm equipment dealers? They often have a list of mechanics they recommend for on-site repairs.

I had a similar issue when I switched LTE providers and tried using my old router. The SIM card didn’t work initially, but after tweaking the APN settings and updating the firmware, I got it running. Sometimes providers lock their SIMs to specific devices, so it’s hit or miss. An external...

I’ve been in the same boat, trying to find a mini ex for some property work. I looked into Typhon too, especially that Kubota D722 model, and it seems like a decent deal on paper, but I’m always cautious about buying something sight unseen. I’ve heard mixed reviews—some say they work well, but...

Outsourcing has definitely impacted several industries, and healthcare is no exception. I've seen how medical professionals struggle with billing and compliance, which can be a nightmare without proper expertise. A lot of smaller labs and clinics end up outsourcing these tasks just so they can...

I still love driving my manual, and it’s been a part of my driving experience since I first learned. There’s just something about having that control over the car that makes it more enjoyable, especially when you’re on a back road or cruising in a more relaxed setting. It’s definitely a skill...

I get why a mini truck could be a solid choice over a UTV, especially with prices being so high lately. A few of my buddies went the UTV route, but registration can be so hard, depending on the state. Some places make it tough to get them street legal, which is frustrating if you need to drive...

I had a similar issue with my garage door opener last year. It kept stopping midway and would reverse itself instead of fully opening. Turned out, the problem was with the travel limit settings and a worn-out gear. I tried adjusting the limits myself, but the gear repair was out of my comfort...

The Sony Handycam CX405 seems like a solid option based on what you're looking for. My parents aren’t big tech users either, and they love how straightforward the Handycam is—it’s lightweight, simple to operate, and the quality is quite good for the price. It’s a nice entry-level camcorder that...

I've transitioned from traditional TV to streaming and found it much more flexible. I don't need to worry about bulky equipment or being tied to a single room to watch something. Plus, there are many free options online for movies and shows if you want to look around. For local channels, an...

Generally, bypassing the neutral safety switch isn't recommended. It's there for a reason, safety. While it might seem like a simple fix, you're removing a crucial safety feature that prevents accidental starting while the machine is in gear.

Check your fuel tank pickup line. Sometimes they get clogged or kinked, especially if you ran almost completely dry. Also, make sure the fuel cap vent is clear

That PCV pipe trick might help, but honestly, on steep hills with gravel, I've found a rear blower is the only reliable solution. The weight distribution is just so much better. Maybe try using the blower for the hills and the plow for the flats?

When I turned 65, I had the same decision to make between an Advantage plan and a Supplement plan. It really depends on what you need. If you’re okay with staying in a network and want lower monthly costs, an Advantage plan might work. But if you want more freedom to see any doctor and avoid big...

I’ve dealt with similar rocky terrain, and I’d recommend looking into a heavy-duty skid steer mulcher with carbide teeth. I’ve had better luck with those on rough ground—it helps protect the equipment from rocks and other debris. I know the pine needles can be a pain, but a good forestry mulcher...

I hear you on the cold—it’s brutal when you’re working outside. I’ve had good luck with Carhartt and Duluth Trading for insulated coveralls. Carhartt’s been my go-to for years; they’ve got some solid options with insulation that really hold up in the cold. I usually shop online because the local...

I bought a used SUV last year and financed part of it. I went with a secured loan, which gave me a better rate than an unsecured one—around 4.2%. I like longer repayment terms too so the payments stay low, but I usually pay extra when I can, like you mentioned. For car loans specifically, I’ve...

I’ve tried my luck with gambling a few times, specifically on slots, and had both good and bad experiences. In one instance, I hit a small jackpot on a £2 spin and walked away with a solid £400, but there were also plenty of times I ended up losing what I set aside for fun. It’s all about going...

Sounds like a great way to celebrate your anniversary! Bryson City is such a charming spot, and the Polar Express ride really does sound like a perfect trip for families with younger kids. I agree with you about hotel breakfasts—sometimes they’re just not worth it, especially when you’re paying...

Check out local farm supply stores or co-ops—they often have better prices on tractor tires than big retailers. You might also want to look at online sites like SimpleTire or TireRack; they sometimes have deals on larger sizes like 14.9-24. I’ve saved quite a bit shopping smart before—like when...

I’ve been in a tricky spot with property management before, and it can be overwhelming, especially with all those fees piling up. Donating to a charity is a solid idea for tax write-offs, but it really depends on what your family wants to do long-term. If you’re considering buying them out...

I totally get the big watch thing, especially since you have bigger wrists. I’m into watch collecting too, there’s just something cool about having a unique piece. If you want a bigger luxury watch without the crazy price, check out brands like Panerai or Hublot, they’ve got some sick 44mm+...

Yeah, the kid made some poor choices, especially messing with street-bought THC oils and vaping underage, but there’s also a lot of responsibility on companies like Juul for how they marketed their products. It’s not as black and white as just blaming one side, you know? As for the lawsuit...

Most of the best movers are in border areas. Those dealerships will handle the paperwork for adjacent states. If you need more details, check out this link about out of state car shipping. There you'll find many recommendations.

I feel you on the case size—smaller watches can definitely look out of place on a bigger wrist. I’m really into divers and pilot watches myself; they just have that cool, rugged vibe. I’ve got a Seiko diver that I love wearing—it’s got some weight to it and looks great with almost anything...

eBay is a great choice for selling collectibles since it has such a wide reach. I sold some vintage toys there once and found it pretty straightforward. You might also want to look into Etsy if your grandfather’s models have that vintage charm, as there are plenty of collectors there too. I’ve...

Sounds like you've got a solid project going! Installing a new meter and panel could definitely be a smart move, especially if it helps you avoid those costly upgrades and gives you the tax write-off as an LLC. Just make sure to check with local codes and regulations for any permits you might...

You could totally move the shed if you throw some 6x6 skids under it, like you said. It’ll make it easier to lift and move, especially if you take off the lean-to first. A tractor or winch could make it way easier too. If you wanna go pro, you could hit up a moving company like ThreeMovers...

Using this method keeps moisture from getting trapped, so you avoid rust and damage later on. It also makes the install look cleaner and helps your metal roof last longer. If you're thinking about this, it's good to know a bit about roof replacement. According to As Built Roofing, tearing off...
