    A question

    Here's some Pictures of the Corn Patch from some years back. That was a LOT of corn to pick by hand and sell off the end of our driveway!! I doubt the boys will eat corn for the rest of their lives now that they're out on their own. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    A question

    For 20+ yrs (starting with a JD750 compact and then the Kubota B2650) we planted 2.5 to 3 acres of sweet corn. The tractor did everything from the seedbed prep, planting, cultivating, spreading fertilizer, spraying, residue chopping, and final tilling & soil prep before freezeup in the fall...

    Phoenix Tiller stopped working.

    When you take off the end housing cover (whether its oil bath or grease inside) you'll be able to see what's turning and what's not when the pto is engaged and the main shaft is stationary.

    Phoenix Tiller stopped working.

    Could it be as simple as a shear bolt connecting the slip clutch to the tiller gear box shaft has sheared off? I had to track down a malfunction on my old Howard tiller. Oddly enough, it turned out that poor welds connecting the chain drive gear to the main tiller shaft had let loose...

    SNOWBLOWER - HYBRID REAR PULL

    When I was a kid on the farm, it seemed like every farmer in the countryside had that type of snowblower. And most all of them were "Erskine" brand, being that they were designed and made in the the town of Erskine, MN less than 50 miles from where I grew up. The only issue I remember anyone...

    Ever had this happen?

    It happened to me not too long ago when I was looking to buy a cheap generic 12vdc starter relay at the local auto parts store. I didn't have to walk with him to pick it off the back room shelf......but I did have to locate it on his parts computer for him. He had no clue. Sheesh!!! :rolleyes:

    I drank the Kool-Aid and took delivery of an All Electric sub-sub compact utility vehicle and absolutely love it!!

    You'd have to pick up something like this in order to have your favorite beverage along on the ride. A side benefit would be that it could somewhat pass for your headgear protection??

    Yikes! My picture didn't get attached last night and then I got caught up in and fell asleep during a FIFA soccer match. My apologies for keeping you all guessing!! Here's the new sub sub-compact all electric vehicle: I also forgot to mention the best part: There's only room for one person...

    Although the tire is more of an R3, I’m thinking an R4 type would allow for more pulling power even though it does extremely well as is. Adding tow hooks or a receiver hitch, however, is going to take some thinking. On the plus side: This thing is awesome!! Charge time is 4 hours or less from a...

    ROPS will not Fold on new ZD1211

    From the shipping crate picture that @whitetiger posted in post #15: is there a possibility that the floor skirt got pushed in during the crating or uncrating process? Especially with the rops mounted separately in the crate as pictured. Is there any hint of scuff marks on the top half of...
