^^^^^^ Might be time to buy a lottery ticket @S-G-R gg

It is August so time to move our wood into the shed. gg

I like your "new" tool box - a honey for the money as they say ! You gave me a good idea by showing it so thanks. Pictures are good!! I have a similar tool box except on mine the tray is full sized so I have to lift it out to get at the stuff in the bottom. Easy enough as there is a nice handle...

It was a little cooler today so I went out in the woods and did a little clearing around a promising looking red oak sapling about 15' tall that looked like it wanted to grow. The goal was to let in more light on the south side. I cut this black cherry to put a hole in the canopy. It had a...

All looks good Grumpy 👍 Some firewood and crops. Are you liking the winch yet :):) gg

New battery went in the L3010 yesterday. Easiest starting piece of equipment I have ever had. Failed suddenly. Was fine one day then the next would only click. After 15 minutes on the charger charger said battery OK and at full charge. Measured 12.7 V. Still just a click. Then measured 11.5 V...

I happened to need a flow restrictor and that was a convenient place for it. gg

^^^ Just add a coupling between the top QD and the RT angle. That's what I did. - but I''m pretty sure you knew that already. gg

Boy @ NCL4701 I am glad we don't get poison ivy like that here. We get plenty but it is like brush and only 16" high or so at most. Never saw a vine that ran up a tree. I did a small job today. There was a smallish standing dead and dry Red Maple that blew down into one of our trails last...

^^^^ Nice job nerwin !! gg

A few weeks ago we had a real gully washer. It's a little hard to see with all the mottled shade but it washed out some minor ruts in a couple down hill spots in our road - like this one. First time I used the grader this year. I made about 6 passes total, all up hill. Filled in the...

Your prairie mix looks really good ! We have some wild openings and road sides like that I have tried to keep native w/o much trouble for 25 years. But this year, out of nowhere it seems, we have a lot of Hedge Bedstraw in them. Pretty but invasive of course and I see it all over town. gg

1. Any reason not to use a lock n roll hitch? Do you mean Rock n Roll ? or Pintle Hitch - I would always use a Pintle or equivalent hitch in the woods. Even with level ground you might have go thru a ditch or over a rock or large root. I have never, knock on wood, had trouble with my hitch...

When I first started experimenting with my winch mounted crane and trailer it worked pretty well for what it is. But I thought that it would be better if I put some outriggers on it. So I bought a pair of el cheapo fold up and adjustable RV stabilizers from etrailer. They were a big...

Hard work, especially in the heat. Glad you are getting to appreciate your winch. I noticed a nice tree stand off to the side (y) gg
