Anyone have any experience with a Retco trailer made in Sikeston, MO? I am looking at one of their 20 footer's to haul my NH TC29 w FEL and a 5' brush hog. I will be taking it about 10 miles from my rock farm to my Mom's to work on her place. The trailer is rated for 5,000 and I am at about...

There has been so much sad news here I thought I would post something positive. My daughter has been living in the U.K. for the last year working on her masters at the Kings College. She graduated with distinction recently (their version of honors) landed a great job with great pay and she got...

Just saw this thread. I have a Ascent 10' fishing kayak made by Bass Pro. I have had it for several years now and absolutely love the thing. It tracks well, I can carry it by myself, lots of storage, rod holder is OK but can be upgraded. Give it a look. Also the 10 footer seems to be better...

I have a well on my rural land that hasn't got much use the last couple of years. I recently started using it again and at first the flow was very weak, almost a trickle. This is from a well that put out lots of pressure previously. It has gotten better the last couple of weekends but is...

I'm putting a small food plot on some land I recently bought. I want to grow clover and chicory on about 1/4 of bottom land. It's currently covered by leaves and a few weeds, small trees. What's the best way to ensure success? Should I treat with 12/12/12 now to give the soil a boost? Also...

Need some help. I have another thread on a recent land purchase that has two easements (gated); one at the top of a old logging road and one down in the bottom on the other side of a creek. They each have their own separate entrance off the highway. I now have a dilemma thanks to a call I got...

I've told my wife before that if I hit the lotto I'm buying the entire 80 acres behind us and putting in a zip line park. It would be a great spot to do it if money was no object! Here's a pic from a recent morning.

I live on 3.6 severely tilted acres running from the top of the ridge my house is on down to a wet weather creek then a couple hundred feet up the other side. I can only get to the bottom by hiking down a zig zag trail I cut in taking advantage of a couple of deer trails and a old logging road...

My Brush-hog isn't parallel with the back of my tractor and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I can get it to line up but once I start cutting it ends up running outside my right wheel on an angle. I'm not sure if I have the hookups on correctly and would appreciate any schooling I can...

I recently replaced my 5 year old battery and now the tractor won't start unless jumped. It's a manual shift TC29. The first time this happened I had the new battery replaced and the second one is doing the same as the first. If I connect jumper cables from the battery terminals to my truck it...

Lowes and home depot sell powder coated aluminum balusters just for this application. They also have black plastic brackets to mount the bottom supports in. We thought they dressed it up a little.

I searched for a while and didn't find a whole lot on replacement seats. My TC29 seat is getting ratty and I am thinking of getting a new one. What have you guys and gals done?

Here's a few more of my '67. Love that 55 Super 88 George!

It was a fun summer with the Olds. I got era correct wheels and the interior finished and it won it's first trophy, "Ladies Choice!" It also survived many burnouts and a couple of trips up to and well over 120 mph. There's nothing like a 4 speed hooked up to a Rocket!

I found this guy down below our house. This area was once part of an inland salt water sea and I find stuff like this a lot. Anyone have any idea what it could be? I am guessing a pre-historic shrimp...if you look close you can see it's eye.

I have a feeder right behind my house that two deer, a button and a little doe, have been coming to for sometime after their momma got hit by a car. Yesterday I heard two shots that came from the lot next two ours but was actually almost right behind my house. It was so close it startled me so I...

I just got a call from the company that inspected our water softener when we moved last year. They said it's time for the annual inspection. It seems to be working fine, is this really necessary? They charge $118 for the visit and I am struggling to see the value. TIA

Greetings! I am considering getting a used Bobcat to use on my farm and could use some help. I am seeing a number for sale that have Logering steel tracks on them and I need to know if that set up works well on tilted land. Do they grip? I would be using the Bobcat to clear down timber...

I got hit 10-12 times, mostly in the calves and on the tops of my feet but they also managed to get my wrist and worst of all the top of my left ear. I have been taking Tylenol but I am still hurting pretty good. Does anyone have any good remedies? I put after bite on them last night but it...

I am considering getting a used Bobcat to use on my farm but know next to nothing about them. I found this one locally and would appreciate any comments regarding pricing and it that the type of unit I need. I am also hoping to learn what to look out for and what options are a must. Bobcat...

So I'm loading a big bag of recycling today and didn't notice a broken wine bottle sticking out of one corner. When I swung the bag up into the truck it grazed me and the bottle sliced me open to the tune of 23 stitches. It's pretty deep, the doc could see tendon and bone in my right shin but I...

I moved last September and the new house came with a bonus basement. It was dry-walled but had no power except for the lights and the walls were just taped with one coat of mud. This is a pic of one end that I took during a walk thru, I thought this would be a great spot for a work shop. I put...

I was walking the dogs last night and on our way back down our street two baby coons were at the top of the hill. The dogs checked them over but did no harm. This morning the dogs found one of them hiding (sleeping?) under the stairs below our deck. It seems healthy enough and I suspect Mom has...

We got a little snow last night, it had the deer out early.

Some of you old timers give me a schooling. I passed up a shot at a half grown coyote that was down in the woods behind the house the other day. It would have been easy to tag him as he was there until I drove him off with a few near misses using a .22 loaded with CB caps. Should I have downed...

Thanks for sharing! Looks like I will be making a detour off 70 during one of my STL to KC trips.

My Dad gave me his father in law's old Dearborn plow and disc. I didn't have room on my trailer for the cultivator or I would have it too. They had been setting in the same spot for a long time! The disc is going back to work, the plow is likely going to be an ornament by my gate. I had never...

Lost in the Woods noted that there has been a shortage of projects posted with pix this summer. My project didn't have too much tractoring involved, I did brush hog around a parts car so I will have to claim that. If this is too off topic I apoligize and ask that the mods remove this post...

My daughter is 20 and in Australia on a U of Missouri internship. For years she had heard me say I wish I would have had the chance to parachute jump when younger and that since I was now married with kids it was too late to take the chance. That must have hit home...today she emailed me the...

I got to spend some serious time on my TC-29 yesterday, the first time in too long! The tractor ran great all day until the last time I went to start it, everything lit up normally but it wouldn't turn over. I got to looking and found a little white roller switch under the left fender near the...

Can any one recommed something I can spray or paint onto stumps to kill them and speed up the rotting out process?

I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that since they congregated at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we...
