At one time I ran the machine shop and did the proto type work for a major turf care equipment manufacturer.. A lot of there equipment was geared to golf course turf.. So I learned seed to soil contact was 99.9% the most important factor in good germination.. If I needed to over seed my...

One time I bought a used 60" MMM deck and connecting hardware compatible with the tractor I had at the time.. It came with a new set of ..piranha.. (??) blades.. It took no time for them to ware down.. I bought a set of standard OEM blades that did not ware any better.. The next blades I...

When I looked at the web site linked it said ...assembled in Canada... And a lot of double talk to me that I presumed to mean ...assembled from foreign parts... The only contact info available is there phone number is ...eastern time zone... I had to click ...add to cart... to get a...

I'd use it...

When I lived in northern BC, Princes Auto was my best source of a number of useful implements.. Patience and diligence to catch items on sale paid off..

This is the best design and engineered model I have found if I were in the market for a truck garden size implement.. https://woodwardcrossingscountrybasics.com/product/gemini-one-row-potato-planter-bomet/ This is one of the best ..on the cheap.. homemade versions I have found for a large...

I had a homebuilt hitch system much like the one in post #25... That is with 2" receiver under the cross bar to be at the lowest level.. The arm at the top link end of my unit was about 8" long and worked well for lift log ends for skidding.. What I will ....HIGHLY.... recommend is to...

RIP Brother...

Things on forums I have read from people in the Maritime and people I have talked to say it is hard at best to find and ship implements.. I had the same issues in northern British Columbia.. Good luck..

At one time, in my ..Good Idea... note book I had plans to build ski type skid shoes like the picture in post #1... Also a trailing blade... Both that would bolt to my cheap auto, farm store box blade to use it as a better alternative to move snow with than the 3pt rear blade I had at the...

The bed hiller I had a very little experience with was set at a dedicated 45deg angles.. This on a homemade set up.. Depending on your ground and your crop, the width between the disks can make a difference..

If you have the work for the attachment it will be a work saver.. And it will be resalable..

Um... I successfully moved a lot of timber out of the bush without a skidding winch... I kind of coveted a winch at times and it would have been quicker in some situations... But I didn't want to spend that kind of money... What worked well for me was several dead man pullies, a couple 100...

I had an old 6' blade on the 3point.. I built a wing out of expanded metal that would bolt to either end of the blade.. It wasn't perfect but good enough for what it was meant for.. Also what helped a lot was to bolt about a 6" wide piece of belting along the top of the blade that would be...
