Six years ago, an old Air Force buddy of mine, planted and dedicated a young Autumn Gold maple tree to my recently deceased wife. For five years the tree grew and showed no signs of ill health; but a year ago fissures started to appear in the bark (see photos below). I'd be grateful if someone...

Carl, Here are the pics of the new machine. I have 0.9 hours on it and so far I am very pleased.

I'm all over the place with a ztr purchase. Initially I was looking at Husquavarna because I really like my New Holland/Husky dealer. But his stock is limited and his units have a slightly higher price for the features offered. Input from the Husky forum pointed me toward more robust...

I hate demonstrating my immense ignorance, but my curiosity has the best of me, My buddy found this machine in the old garage on a property he just purchased. Neither of us have any idea what it is. We recognize the electric motor, but have no idea what the motor is driving?

I'm looking into buying a zero turn mower. The one's I'm seriously considering are the RZ-4622 (Husqvarna Endurance engine), and the RZ-46215 (Kawasaki Engine). It appears, from other posts I've read, that the Kawasaki engine is well respected engine. I know nothing about the Endurance...

I recently purchased a 920gh backhoe and I've enjoyed doing small projects with it for the past few weeks. But now I need to detach it so I can mount my post hole digger and tiller and get to some post setting and planting. The operators manual for the 920gh offers no directions for detaching...

During my first 60 minutes in the seat of my new backhoe I managed to cut the line between my house and flood lamp post located on the far side of my driveway. I have identified one end of an underground cable (the one leading from the house), but no breakers have been tripped and my...

My TC30 was my first tractor, and it served me well for almost 10 years. But, I thought it was time to spoil myself a little, and get something with a little more power and a few convenience features. I took delivery of my Boomer35 today and mowed for an hour. I have to say I really like the...

Gentlemen, when I bought my TC30 10 years ago I knew nothing about tractors. At the time, my wife and I had acquired an old farmhouse on 23 acres and some of my friends and co-workers convinced me I needed a tractor. I became a lurker on TBN, and between the advice I was getting from friends...

Our Adirondack home is blessed with a great water supply (sustained 10+ gal/minute flow and no bacteria problems), but suffers from hard water and high total dissolved solids. Recently a friend introduced me to a Kinetco rep at a social outing and I decided to send the rep a sample of water and...

Gentlemen, I'm interested in moving up from my TC-30 to a 2035. I haven't made the trip to my local NH dealer yet, but I was wondering if someone out there might be able to ballpark the price of a 2035 with HST and 240TL loader. Thanks. Paul

Folks, I'd like to replace some old storage sheds with a new garage workshop. I've spoken with a Morton Steel rep and have sought an estimate on a 30 X 40 steel pole barn. I will clear the sheds, contract with an excavator (for ground prep), electricians, and plumbers (if necessary). I'll...

I've gotten in the habit of wearing my headlamp when I let the dogs out at night. More often than I like, they get wind of something and give it chase. They always come back, but I'm anxious the entire time they're gone. My biggest concern is cars, but I'm also concerned that they are going...

A friend of mine has recently expanded his pond, and now wants to grade off the remains of the dredging and expansion. He asked me what implement would work best for this job. I offered that I have no experience with grading, but that from reading the threads on TBN, my guess would be a box...

Since acquiring my KK tiller a few years ago, I look forward to tilling my wifes garden and my neighbors garden every year. Initially I tilled in the spring and the fall, but after a couple of years of doing that, I've cut back to once a year in the spring. In a recent discussion I had with my...

One of my neighbors mentioned that biting flies (looked like house flys, but maybe a little smaller) were giving her horses a terrible time. She has tried a few methods to reduce the population, but to date has had no luck. I thought I'd post the question here and see if anyone had any...

Last weekend I decided to attend to the 50hr service on my TC-30, 7308, and rotory mower. I think I found all the zerks and checked the oil levels for the gear boxes, but I ran out of time and didn't change the oil/filter or the gas filter. My question is this: I don't have a tool for removing...

I just picked up a 60" KingKutter tiller at TSC, but need to trim the PTO shaft before I can try it out. My question is this: the operator manual advises me to adjust the skids and adjust the back plate. I assume adjusting the skids will change the depth to which I till, but I don't know what...

I'm considering getting a pressure washer for washing the deck, siding, windows, tractor and cars and I have no idea how much power I need for reasonably handling these tasks. I like the idea of electric because it's small in size, quiet, and inexpensive, but I hate to short change myself and...

We had a well drilled recently (80' deep) and had the water tested at a local lab. The tests came back showing coliform and e-coli. I shocked the well with chlorine following directions provided by a couple of different internet sites. The latest, post shock treatment, test still showed...

What\'s the right attachment I'm new to tractoring and need some advice on the best implements to use for some projects I have lined up. I have approximately 10 acres of flat non-rocky meadow. In this area I would like to plant 150 Christmas trees, a couple of acres of corn, a couple of small...

One of my friends at work suggested I log on to this website and use it as a research source for my new tractor purchase. I'm glad he made the suggestion. All the information you provided in the various threads I read, helped me with my decision making process. At the time I purchased my...
