    Setting tap tomorrow

But when the season was almost over and the sap turned milky, we would make syrup that was NOT Grade A that was sold to the candy companies to give "maple flavor" to...

    Man Lift

    I have a Nifty Lift TM 34 - Honda Power. Nice machine, I like the Nifty Lift because the controls are mostly direct hydraulic, not electric actuated hydraulic. Had it about 3 1/2 years, no issues, does what I need, but somewhat expensive

    Compacting gravel driveway

    I have a B2601 I purchased about 8 months ago, really like the tractor except the treadle pedal. Had a JD 2320 previously and liked the two pedal arrangement much better.

    Are people lazy, don’t know how to help or scared of liability.

    I suggest that how you were brought up corresponds to how you respond to situations. I was raised on a dairy farm in a rural area. High school I went to had 35 kids in my class. So, people had to learn to do for themselves and help one another. Things you learn when young follow you thru life.
