Wanted to say thank you after purchasing your 60 inch box blade. I've only been able to play around a little bit so far and I love it. I am very happy with my decision- it will make things a lot easier as I continue my projects.

It took a while but i finally got a hold of the company that bought the company that used to make........ Hope it helps-

See your point about the rock bucket. Thinking that something like a land plane with slightly higher side walls (not quite unlike a box blade but longer) and the hardware cloth for sifting. still would "clog up- just not sure how quickly. If you can see it.... the blue triangle would be the...

1055- cool, sunny morning. pot of coffee on the stove, perhaps 3 or 4 cups before I get into gear today.

Toppop- saddened to hear of your brothers passing. No words exist that say any more than your last two sentences. We share the same faith my friend.

1100...but what day is it..... kind of like the movie "Groundhog day". The past several days have been the same weather wise. Certainly not typical December up here. I have been gleeful about the limited amount of fuel oil used so far but, now I am getting worried about will happen when...

1058- overcast again and eerily warm for the time of year. something of a drizzle happening right now. still working on the first MUG of coffee- thinking today will require a pot on the stove to get through. Good day to all!

1022- Bizzare update. As I sit with my cup of coffee, I got an eerie feeling. I look out the window and sitting in the tree is a grey squirell STARING at me..... Oddly, this is the first Grey I've seen around up here in years. Red squirrels usually hang out. This one is pretty fat, maybe...

Well...you could always dress it up like a cat- This is why I get frustrated with environmentalists griping about climate change and oil wells yadayada.... between cell phones and computers alone, the waste of resources and materials is outlandish. Honestly, I have fallen victim to "buy a...

1146- second cup of coffee now, drank the first while out doing chores. currently cloudy, light wind and chilly..... Murphys law- beautiful day yesterday and one of our sows dropped 15 piglets (13 living when we went in for the night). The shelter I have isn't "water tight" (not a real roof...

1726- first opportunity to say good morning. At 1030, was warm and cloudy- most of the snow had melted away so I continued to pick up stuff I hadn't gotten to yet. At 1330, my brother and Nephew arrived to help process "Pork" and "Chop". A little windy and light rain as we started, first...

Anyone can use the bucket as a cooler but, you need something to go along with those frosty beverages..... :drink: :cool2:

1055- Cold and light flurries. a little more snow on the gorund than yesterday. One cup o' coffee done, definately a second before chores. Keep reminding myself that its one day closer to spring.

1044- overcast, supposed to warm up to 37. about an inch of snow to contend with as I try to finish getting ready for...ummm- snow. Roy- Still praying that a clear answer will present itself to you and your wife. keep the faith-

Re: In the market for a new Husky Lawn Tractor - Any Advice or Recommendations? This husky model is pretty close to the Kubota one I posted and their site lists msrp as $3299.00. Dickering with a dealer may get you down to where you want to be.

Re: In the market for a new Husky Lawn Tractor - Any Advice or Recommendations? as an example- this kubota model purchased from a dealer (msrp) comes in less than 5k. Usually you can work down 10-15% on the price. Essentially, "big box" store tractors are all built by MTD- just painted and...

1053- gonna be cold this week, no way around it. I really shouldn't complain since it is almost the beginning of December. Roy- I am praying for you. Keep your faith!

Can't beat that for an angle grinder. I like the idea of not having to change out discs like you said. I recently picked up an OBDII scanner essentially as an "open box return" not used. This is the "top end" model. Very easy to use- scrolling through the menu and finding the data I...

1057- SNOWING..... 'nuff said

6 feet would be a minimum, heavy clay soil and ledge in areas although where I want to run it- I can go down far enough. This chart is used for determining foundation depths based on the frost level. 70 to 80 inches down in out area is a possibility. Even with a yard hydrant that drains the...

0949- well, will omit the "good" and just recognize it is morning.... mostly sunny, sorta warm- basic chores will be it for today- In the spirit of giving, my wife gave me her cold 2 days ago and it is now in full bloom. Yesterday was good though, cold was only starting to show and I still...

Super Secret Stove Inspector..... :cool: 0900- clear skies sunny but freakin' cold outside. Not a day for the "cup by cup" method out of the Keurig, perculator is already going to keep me well supplied. Wife has the day off, we are dog sitting for a friend ( my dog is now ignoring me in...

I found one at Agri Supply that will work for what I want to do. http://mower-blades.agrisupply.com/thumb.php?f=http%3a%2f%2fwww.agrisupply.com%2fimages%2fl%2f72511.jpg&s=120 Really, depending on what you want to do will determine what is best.

As always- a bit behind on getting ready for winter. This is not an urgent need as I am able to haul water daily to the animal shelter but would make life a lot easier. Winter temperature is well below freezing for the most part. All water comes off out well. The total run would be about 175...

1008- Cold, clear and sunny. not going to warm up too much today..... Only a couple of outdoor chores to do then, inside chores- probbaly should put the perculator on the stove now-

He's in Europe although, i din't thingk the time difference was that much....:confused2:

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer about the problems? They might be able to help in some way-

Anyone know where to find this coupon? Someone is "selling" it on ebay. Like all other coupons, it has to be out there somewhere, i just haven't been able to find it on line.

Well, not really. I don't usually post alot about my personal life but, Yesterday was a milestone for our family. I find that TBN members have a great sense of what is truley important in life and are very supportive of fellow members. Some of this is in jest but overalll sincere. To sum...

Roy- that is awesome! I truley am happy for you. Of course- we'll want to see pics of you at you new job....new home....tractor move.... Just the typical TBN 'nosey"/curiosity thing- Now, for the weather..... 1040- overcast, windy and cool. Fair amount of overnight rain and wind was...

48 inch 3.5 ton Farm jack- Purchased on line, sale and coupon for % off purchase, delivered to me for $46.98. Out of the box appeared to be built well for the most part. The base plate has a small footprint but works well on solid ground. for soft ground I just used some boards to distribute...

0919- Cold and overcast, not as bad as it could be. Supposed to be near 60 today......I hope. Have to finish fixing the wifes car, the parts to install don't like to be cold/easy to break. Worst case scenario, I can keep them warm with a lightbulb........ But first, I truley think this is a...

Glad to hear things are progressing well. Always nice to clean the basement......

Hey Roy- where you headed to in Vermont?

Late start at 1200- cold and wet. The forecast vs. actual weather has been all over the place this week and its been hard to plan work. Hence, still inside drinking coffee

1100- Partly blue sky clouds still following the same storm path as yesterday. currently 60, high of 69 later. Supposed to have thunder storms later today but, the extended forecast has kept lessening in severity since last night. Very fortunate in our area, moderately high winds, not much...

0710- cool, clouds, light wind. Plenty of time for more coffee before the high winds hit. Counties to the south and some in the west (new york) already cancelled school or are closing early today. Our county is in the same "danger" zone but we aren't as paranoid. Admittedly, I have to...

1016- partly cloudy and sorta warm. supposed to cloud up later. coffee....lots of coffee first- This whole thing about hurricane "sandy"....... currently a category 1 storm is getting a bit out of hand. Yes a storm is coming, yes we should prepare. However, all of the "forecasting" is...

1055....will dispense with the "good" and just say mornin' Lazy day- not sure what the weather is going to do. should be warm but looks like it can't decide on weather the sun will be out. Another cup of coffee or two should be enough to let the weather make up its mind. Randy- prayers for...

....Oh yeah- 1130: 52 degrees and cloudy with expected rain.....should be out doing chores now and not playing around on TBN :D

Just to add my :2cents:....... My closest TSC is 33 miles away, round trip costs about $12.00. My brother lives "close" to a HF store 9 miles or so. Round trip about $4.00. We usually go for a "shopping" trip when we visit there. HF flat rate shipping is $6.99- If I am able to wait for...

0930- Sunny warmer than expected and certainly NOT what was forecast. Guess i got to do the outside chores soon- weather will likely get bad if I drink the fourth cup of coffee......

I'll let you know if he complains :D 1050- clear skies, sunny and cool Today's the day for the rest of the turkeys to meet the "cone of (permanent) silence". Only 4 - so not a huge task, that is, until the get loose.....(I hope not). Into the chill tank and then tomorrow I'll package. I...

1020- 40 degrees and overcast, supposed to be ugly all day. Top on the list is finish cutting and packing the turkey I unexpectedly had to cull yesterday...... I guess his last comment to the other tom about a short beard was enough. I heard a commotion in the coop and found said tom bleeding...

1030- clear skies, sunny- cool. supposed to be nice most of the day (believe it when i see it..) Chores then daughters soccer game this afternoon. maybe more coffee first

Sorry to hear about your cat Randy-

and- one of our senators was fighting to stop the closing of processing facilities here in Vermont. I don't get it- a business is losing income, has not had much luck with new/different marketing and business strategy but, our tax dollars are going to be pumped into it to save some jobs? I...

0952 cool and WINDY....love it! I was looking outside and figure if I wait another hour all the leaves will be gone and mowing will be easier. When I do head out to mow it will be interesting to see just how much the wind will end up covering me and the tractor with grass clippings! At least...

0722 47 outside- not gonna get much warmer than high 50's today. light frost on the ground- certainly better than snow which, fell and collected in the mountains yesterday. Apparently, enough for some to attempt skiing. still lots to do outside- started yesterday trying to get the lawn...

1000 a little chilly out. high of 60 today (yeah-right). another cup of coffee then I'll assess priorities over a third cup.

1100- Cold morning, 58 degrees. Overcast but supposed to have some sun later on. Just having my first cup of coffee (actually big mug) really need to get outside and get stuff done. Maybe after the second mug....third.......?

0730- 54 degrees and clear skies. supposed to be a nice day. Rather happy that the inside temp is 68 degrees. Apparently, the work on the house has finally started to make headway in stopping heat loss. Nothing like a 100 year old farmhouse to heat the outdoors!

Warm and wet today, continual fine mist/drizzle in the air. Not enough to make chores a pain and certainly better than snow.

Well...I was up earlier- just sitting down to post, given the weather- I don't have a lot of motivation to go back outside. Somewhat warm, drizzle to fine mist coming down- just enough to be annoying. However, yesterday the fine mist coming down also seemed to swirl around and back up. Yup-...

Enosburg Falls boy dies in farm trailer accident | Burlington Free Press | burlingtonfreepress.com Sad day in our area. Happened in the next town over. Can't imagine what the family is going through.....

0925- 52, fine rain. Supposed to be rainy all day but not too cold. I caved in last night and turned on the furnace. Sad to say, 61 degrees inside is now too cold for me.

-late start today, 0955 and only 49 degrees. Sky is blue and the sun is shining bright so- should warm up a little.

Check E Bay. I've seen different ones from time to time for heavy equipment. I have even thought of using a computer joy stick that has extra buttons on it. If the handle portion and switch can be disassembled and mounted in place of what is already on the tractor. Purely from a "that would...

Roy- sorry to hear they pulled the plug on you. I hope the agency is able to get you into something quickly-

0725- Light overnight rain- currently 59f. Supposed to have showers all day. Guess inside chores will get done.....

0710: 47 degrees, blue skies with some clouds. First signs of some frost out there. Supposed to warm into the 60's (I hope). As I type, the geese are flying overhead....guess they got the right idea.

She's a good Mama. Has 12 or 14 teats (haven't counted lately). All of them are feisty little things, including the runt. When we went out for chores, there were 4 already out. She took a break and had breakfast and then lay back down to pop out the rest. took about 2 hours and she just...

Good morning indeed! started warm....got warmer and in addition one of our sows gave us 14 piglets!

0745- a little chilly with clear skies and plenty of sunshine. No frost but fairly heavy dew on the grass. Supposed to be reasonable all day, but I shouldn't be too lazy- the real cold weather will be here too soon!

Kubota B7510 Gear transmission. 8 Years old and just about 500 hours Original issue: Slight gear grind when shifting with clutch depressed fully. :( Action: Adjusted clutch linkage to within specs. In doing so, had to remove entire linkage to free up frozen adjusting nut. :mad: Current...

I've considered getting a "bobbed" Deuce. Big, Ugly, Tough. Wife won't have any part of it. I like Unimog's, perhaps she would consider that....

http://www.oilyhands.co.uk/images/Powerfab360_John_R.jpg This one looks very similar to yours and has a mitsubishi engine.

Firefighting professionals shop for helmets, flashlights, boots, badges and shields at TheFireStore.com - Brush Fire Broom, 5 Ft Length This is what he is talking about. Heavy duty bristles that you wet down before using. We used them to sweep the edge back into the burned area on smaller...

Just came across this on E-Bay. Nifty looking implement and not to hard to build if you have access to the parts.

Just got this a couple of weeks ago. LOVE IT! Assembly was fairly straight forward, just needed 2 of us to lift the box up on the frame. Very sturdy, finish is good. I am using it to organize some of my more commonly used tools. The old system of "it's somewhere around the house" just...

Northern tools sells a bolt on anchor block that can be welded. Not too expensive but you would need to modify your splitter a little to get it to fit. This will help support the wedge and transfer energy over a larger area. I would think that you may even be able to bot it on the flat bar...

Found this on you tube of all places. Anyone out there have one, seen one, have an opinion?

JJ- didn't recognize you clean shaven and without a hat!........ From the North Dakota State University Extension site. Gives a good "base" design to add whatever you want to it. I have found tons of ideas here and at several other extension service site. Some of these plans date back...

Just picked up an older PHD off Craig's List and would like to get a copy of the owners manual for reference. Previous owner states buying it from Northern Tool however, when i checked, they no longer have product support for it. Their current "Nortrak" PHD looks strikingly similar.........( I...

Stopped in at Tractor Supply tonight to pick up a bag of feed. Wife and kids were with me so, I was able to wander around and see if anything caught my eye that was on clearance. Stopped by the restroom for ummm...errrrr....a short "rest" and as I walked out Back into the store area- I found...

Helping my brother with this problem. He has a mid size articulated loader ("swinger") with a early 1970's Ford 134 gas engine and is hydrostatic drive. The engine blew a rod and made the corresponding hole in the block. Question 1- is this engine interchangeable with a Ford 172 (gas or...

Aside from the general mounting nightmare... Is there any reason I shouldn't use a complete loader valve assembly to add extra functions? I would plumb it in to the power beyond on the existing loader control unit- I see one listed on ebay that might work for this. Not sure if the idea is a...

Please pray, for everyone involved in a horrible tragedy yesterday in Vermont. A 15 year old boy committed suicide while at School yesterday morning. Apparently it was a self inflicted gunshot wound, he was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. I haven't read the article...

Looking for a used, working Hydra-Vac. Need not be pretty. Hoses included would be nice, but not essential

Today I looked at what appears to be an older model Cyclone C30 tow behind finish mower. It is self powered with an 11.5 HP gas engine and certainly looks to have been ridden hard and put away wet:( My intentions are to use it as a field mower/Light brush hog. I do not have to worry about...

I am sort of a hobby farmer that is considering the purchase of welding equipment. The equipment will serve 2 general purposes. Repairing what I break and, some light to medium fabrication work. It is not something that will be used daily. When it is used, it won't be for hours at a time. I...

Yesterday, I spent a leisurely afternoon cleaning up the driveway- removing maybe 4 inches of snow that had collected in spots from drifting. :o I knew that snow as coming...but I never know what to believe when it comes to the weather forecasters. Moderate surprise this morning when I looked...

I love her...I truly do. But there are times I wonder if my wife does this to me on purpose. This summer, after much crying, complaining and begging, I convinced my wife that she should let me get a mini excavator next year. Finally I thought, my ability to reason with her had worked. She is...

Any ideas on what size/model would be best for my tractor? What are the benefits of 3 point compared to the tow behind style? I have a Kubota B7510 (21hp) will be mowing fields, some slopes and roadside ditches. Eventually I hope to use it for haying 2 to 3 acres. I priced a used "newer"...

I have seen them available, but has anyone seen or put an aftermarket cab on the 3200? I've looked at the 3030 and for the additional creature comforts vs the price- i just cannot justify it for my needs. Really, what I am looking for is shelter and warmth when plowing in the winter. A heater...

I was able to get this tiller late last summer from Ductape (Thanks!) and finally have had some time to work on it.:D Keep in mind, that I haven't done much welding in a VERY long time. It may be ugly, but the welds are holding!:eek: I usually do not like to physically alter the original...

Not trying to outdo myself, but I certainly find that i have unique ways of disabling my tractor.:rolleyes: This summer (before having the digital camera). I buried my tractor up to the axle in mud while working in the garden (trying to divert water)...then my pickup truck trying to pull out...

Went onto the Kubota Site and spec out 3 different tractors with essentially the same options B7800,B3200 both came back within a couple of hundred dollars of each other. The B3030 came back significantly higher, the only difference is the factory installed cab was added. The biggest...

Just spent a lovely afternoon on the tractor- moving snow. (o.K.- playing as well) For the first time I had trouble starting the tractor:eek: I've started it in colder conditions with and without the block heater. Good news today- After an hour with the block heater plugged in- started right...

Once again....I return from the dealership wondering if he knows what a Kubota is:eek: Simple question I thought, but the more he stumbled through the answer, the more confused he seemed to get:D Question: B7510 MMM, FEL, geared transmission- I would like to put a front mount snowblower on...

I am confused....nothing truly new- but I just looked at the Kubota site and no longer see the 7510/7610 listed, but the 7800 is. based on a couple of previous posts, people seem to think that the 3200 is replacing the 7800. it would appear that it is the opposite. Second question/statement-...

Thinking about using a corn furnace to heat the place. I have enough land to grow my own fuel however, processing corn cobs to just the kernels is another thisng. I have been trying to find a machine to do this. I have only found "antiques", small volume units, or something from overseas...
