Do you have a hitch for a 2” receiver on your bucket? (Bolt on or have some one weld it?) If I were putting a boom pole on, I’d use the hitch and use 2” tube stock. I think length of your pole (don’t make this weird😉) also might suggest other ideas? Edit: just saw @McMXi post and I like that...

We are now in our third season of bees…since we got them we have been letting grass get longer and then I rake the grass and add to the composter along with the chicken nuggets and bedding…make a lasagna of waste. Hard to believe how much manure a chicken creates, but that is as good as gold...

I’ve only had a couple incidents with trailers over the years: 1. Cheap receiver (press brake formed where the ball attached). That sucker snapped right at the presser brake / bend in the receiver…I did everything right except used a cheap receiver….the ball was still attached to the trailer...

My pallet bins have seen better days…I need to do something similar…please post photos and progress pics. (I have a deck that needs redone and I hope to repurpose some boards to fix my bins up).

I live in west central Ohio, and have a small farm in NE Ohio. Here at home dry and we have been in a drought for a couple months after very wet spring and early summer. Leaves just turn brown and drop…no color. In NE Ohio we get Lake Effect (snow belt area up at the lake almost tonPA -...

B2650 runs out of traction way before it runs out of HP IMO. I don’t have a box blade for my B, but I’d be cautious to go too big with it…plenty of members on this site with Bs…I’d want some first person expert knowledge before going to wide. I am saying that because I don’t know and the B spins...

I think no concern if you can find what you want at correct price. for a while I was really watching and bidding at auctions, but I got very demoralized…to be fair I am a value shopper, so that is my fault. I’ve never gotten lucky once at an auction, not even close. But i am not willing to...

Welcome.

It’s that time of year…Spousal unit says it’s game time, so using the mobile communication platform functionality of the MX this evening….

Another day in the woods…doing some seasonal observation lane trimming’. Even brought the old Ford along to run some fuel thru her. Also see that a few of my young pear trees finally have a couple to eat if they make it until ripe.

Good day. if planning to start with the titan as a platform, I’d probably add some stake pocket brackets and make some side and a tail gate of some sort…might make it more versatile. The rural king / tsc carryall frames are a good start point as well (that’s what I have).

Nobody has any idea what happened…Sure seems strange…it was stacked full before I went to play in the woods today…must have been a mouse in there that did that…

Upper Peninsula in the state due North of Ohio. (It’s absolutely beautiful)

Cleaning up future pollinator habit. Had lots of help…

I am very sorry for your loss. Do your best.
