I really like LS tractors and hope to someday have a XU6168 in the barn, but even though the poster is trying his best to find a 'do everything'; he's still trying to get into the gunfight with a knife. Find a way to use 'purpose built' machines, and you will look back with fondness on what...

That's a LOT of weight flopping around a fellow ! ....Probably a safe bet the operator took a couple of days off and spent them looking for something else to do.

A lot of people with multiple tractors have favorites, while others get very little use. I have a very old 89 hp 10,000 lb. tractor that I bought for sentimental reasons, but it is still a brute that builds adrenaline in your veins when the power is called for. It gets ,,, maybe 5 hours a year...

Why didn't you just take that 5 gallon backpack sprayer you said was too heavy and made your back hurt, and put 1 gallon in it at a time? ....I really like backpack sprayers with hand pumps because you are ALWAYS in control of the pressure and can minimize waste while avoiding contact with the...

I know a lot of people hesitate to take this advice, but adding 1 ounce of Acetone to every 5 gallons of diesel has some terrific benefits. If there is water in the fuel, the acetone forms an azeotrope with the water that is compatible with carrying through and burning in the combustion...

Work on the rootball first! ......When you see the trunk start to lay down you know you are once again working with the gravitational energies of the tree. There is no way to know what kind of 'bound' energy is in the fall until you see it begin to move on its own. ....Bound energy could...

Wow! This thread has gone all over the place! My first impression was a need for PTO Hp for mowing, but this is no south Texas blackland farm. ......You need a tractor to handle the road maintenance and snow removal, but you already have too many fences and small enclosures in place to...

The real reason for the lunacy is that NONE of these inflated prices are actual purchases by the people. ....They are actually paying payments to a lending party financing the vehicle at low interest rates born by the working, conservative base of the economy. .....Let interest rates return...

As mentioned above, charging lead/acid batteries develop Hydrogen in the air space above the wet cell. There are multitudes of reasons for the internal space to create a spark sufficient to ignite such an explosive mixture; including many surrounding energies that 'modern' science has no...

I agree with prior posts on there not being one saw that fits all occasions. A 72 cc saw with compression release starting comes very close to all your goals. ....I'm 69 and find that ease of starting is more important than saw weight. ...If saw weight becomes an issue, I use a lighter saw.

I honestly think this is a troll question, but it does strike home with me. What place grows fast enough that it requires mowing every week to keep it clean and neat? It sure doesn't here in the wettest part of the gulf coast, where many people are more concerned with killing or grazing grass...

Nice thread! .....Sounds like you just need more 'toys' to do the job with, so you don't get tired on the one machine. ....I broke down and got a ZT this year and it is fantastic, but I still use the old riding mower and a couple of tractors with various mowers to get the job done...

Go with a skid steer with the land plane attachment. You are going to need to be able to move around specific materials to targeted areas. I just had a huge project go through my 40 acres and the guys with road knowledge used a skid steer to put in place and and spread their initial rock to...

As described in so many of the previous posts, you must take the power in the water developed by way of gravity, and mitigate it. ....This is usually done by slowing the water down so the turbulence in the water subsides and the solids in the water settle. I do this where I live by blocking...
