ROPS and seatbelt. Who can honestly say they always use both? (Not me, he says sheepishly)

These work really well: NoCry Flooring & Roofing Knee Pads - with Foam Padding and No-Slip Leather Stabilizers, Strong Double Straps and Adjustable Easy-Fix Clips: Amazon.ca: Patio, Lawn & Garden

Long cord or generator for power to the electric compressor, and fortunately there are no neighbours within overspray distance, so only my own stuff to worry about...

Having painted all our wood post and rail fences with brush and roller in the past, I'd like to find a more efficient, less time consuming way. I found this sort of thing, anyone know anything about them, are they any good? Price seems that it could be one of those too-good-to-be-true things...

Larry McMurtry. What a story teller...

Harvest in late July. It goes in the ground in late October. A garden crop that takes 9 months.

Offer it for free, it will be gone quickly. There's always someone who thinks it will be useful. One man's junk and all that. But I actually think that this is a really good reason for you to buy that dump trailer, you should convince yourself that having one is the only way to dispose of the...

Glyphosate. And persistence. The smallest piece of live blackberry root is all it takes, so mechanical removal as best as possible and minimal spraying of what's left over and what pokes up next. It took us several years to eradicate the stuff from our property, and we are vigilant about any...

Planted late October. Just my second crop of any size, looks like near to 100% germination rate. I have about 700 in the ground. Still too wet to bother pulling the weeds.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Have to wait, we won't get any more snow now...

"I have a piece of ABS pipe with a slit cut in it and it slides over my cutting edge" Joey: did you use a saw to cut the slit in the pipe? And does it reliably stay on the blade, or do you have some way of securing it?

Good luck with this. Our 200 x 100 outdoor arena is compacted aggreggate under hog fuel. We replaced the hog fuel a year ago, the old stuff had been there 14 years. The hog fuel is delivered by a tandem straight truck with a ram pushing the material out. They dropped it around the space a fair...

Walter Gretzky has died at 82 after a nine-year battle with Parkinson's disease. Gretzky raised and coached his son Wayne, considered by many to be the greatest NHL player of all time.

It's been nearly a month since I started taking the CBD oil (see my OP) and I'm now a believer. I started with a low dose, gradually increased it, and then backed off some, trying each dose for several days. Now, rather than taking 100mg of celecoxib twice a day, I'm down to 100mg in the...

I've had Golden Retrievers my whole life, usually two at a time, so I'm getting up there in numbers. This is my boy Denny from the summer of 2016, one of my favourite dog photos ever. He'll be five this year. His older buddy who showed him the ropes died a little over two years ago, and now...

I need to replace the battery in my dump trailer, it let me down the other day with the box only half way up, and I had to ask my customer for a boost to finish the job. Not good, so it's time. I recently bought an AGM battery for my truck and I'm wondering if I should get one for the trailer...

I've been dealing with osteoarthritis for about 12 years now, and have been taking daily doses of both celecoxib and acetominophen to ease the pain. Between that and keeping on the move as much as possible, I've been able to do pretty much whatever I want. I had a telephone appointment with my...

I have an old Husqvarna 155BT backpack blower that has a Kawasaki engine, with a plastic fuel tank. The fuel cap was leaking, so I bought a new one. It came just as in the photos, without any sort of gasket in it, and it too leaks, from the little button thing in the middle. I assumed that was a...

For years we've used one of those 250W red heat lamps to keep the chickens warm at night in the winter (mild winters here...). We use timers to regulate the lighting to 14 hours daily to optimize egg production, but I've often wondered if the red glow of the heat lamp interferes with that. I...

Flour, water, salt, yeast. And nothing more. Well, add time and technique. Making bread is a great pleasure.

It doesn't snow that often here, usually only once or twice a year, lasts maybe a week or so at a time. But when it does, it's the heavy wet kind, and there are a lot of people who don't have equipment or are older or otherwise not prepared to deal with it. So I decided to set up my Mahindra...

Here's a few photos: two of the machine on my 3/4 ton, one with it on the dump trailer, which was the first step in getting it down, and one of me starting to learn how to run it. I'm not big, 160/5-9, so you can see how small this thing is. Someone much bigger might be a tad cramped...

Frikkin' annoying when an aerosol can quits with a bunch of contents still in there. It happens with paint, lubricants, just about anything else. Not picking on WD-40 but there's still 2/3 left in this can. Any fixes?

I signed the purchase agreement and gave the dealer a deposit on the Takeuchi TB210R. The photo shows it in the office of the dealer's branch in Red Deer, Alberta. They will have it brought to the coast by early December. I'm excited!:)

I'm planning to buy a micro (one ton) excavator in the next few months, and have been gathering information and quotes from the dealers in my area. All of these include two buckets and are before taxes. And in Canadian dollars, each one worth about 75 cents US. Cat 300.9D $31,900...

Since 1868, and every single year up to 2019. That's 151 years, my friends, and it happened every single year through world wars, the great depression, recessions too many to count, the Spanish flu pandemic, and who knows how many assorted other disasters and pestilences. But not this year. All...

I measured this one at 13'2" (the photo angle doesn't show that very well), and it's 2 1/2" at the ground. Towering over the corn and the other sunflowers, it never ceases to amaze me that something can grow that big from a tiny seed in less than four months.

For better visibility and safety at night, I'm going to add two LED flood lights to the top of the rear of our horse trailer, powered from the trailer battery and with a nearby switch. It would be nice if these lights also came on when backing up. So the lights would have to be wired to both the...

One to the battery, one to the trailer brake wire, and in the case of a three wire switch, one to ground. Why the difference? Are two wire switches grounded through the mounting plate?

I like the swallows, especially their swooping and diving way of flying, but I can't stand the mess they make in the barns, crap all over including the hay and even on the horses. This is the third year that I've been actively deterring their repeated attempts to build nests... As soon as I see...

Does anyone have a cross reference for the primary fuel filter element? The Mahindra number is 12933555780. This is for the filter that is mounted to the left side of the battery tray, not the one in the engine compartment. This latter filter crosses to a NAPA 3263. No joy so far from the...

I have a swivel knob on the steering wheel of my eMax 20. When moving forward in a straight line, I'd like it to be at 10 o'clock, and that's where I installed it, but it doesn't stay there... there must be something about the power steering that results in the wheel returning almost randomly...

I like old stuff, especially when it still works well and serves its original purpose. I bought this a couple of years ago for next to nothing from a guy whose grandfather had it from new. I questioned why he would sell it, I would have considered it a family heirloom, but he just shrugged and...

Looking good. This is about 500 plants.
