    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    That sucks…a real pisser for sure. I ordered my first brush guard before my first KTAC claim was settled. I started shopping for a BG for the B later that afternoon. if you had another hole in the other side I think would look more intimidating like performance air intake / ram air induction...

    Seeing is believing, is no longer true.

    Unless it would be related to an Ackley Improved caliber, I would not even tune in. Last time I checked gaslighting the public did not just start with my generation. I don’t think that will stop anytime soon.

    long range weather procrastinators

    Good day. Couple questions: 1. What is you current snow removal equipment or plan? (Doing yourself with Shovel or blade or make one of the spousal unit(s)😉 do it or pay neighbor kid or what?) 2. Whatever number one is, has that stopped working? Do you have access to reliable service? Or do...

    My Meager Firewood process

    I hope your boss is at least cute. 😉 (I am sorry I couldn’t help myself…only kidding) you are spot on about the snagging…some proper chainsaw safety britches would be nice. I am certainly no pro and I know it. I don’t have enough confidence in my abilities or deteriorating athleticism to...

    L3902 vs L3560 Implements

    Good day. I don’t have any experience with either machine you are considering, but I do a bit of brush cutting. (I realize you did not ask this). I’ve never wished I went with a smaller engine when I am brush cutting or mowing tall pasture. 0. Are you new to tractors? 1. Are you new to...

    ANybody else have one of these POS sthil 211's

    Good day. I hope you are doing well. primer bulb (not sure correct terminology) I referenced is in picture…(sort of middle right side of pic Below handle / orange choke switch.) My brush cutter and pole saw also have a bulb to prime.

    My Meager Firewood process

    From The threads that you have published, I agree with your mom and i believe you have some serious talent and maybe a bit a of luck…I mean that’s a good way…that impalement shit from a Year or so ago was sort of your fuccili Jerry moment. I am glad you are here with us. My theory is that a...

    ANybody else have one of these POS sthil 211's

    Simple solution, ‘and I can not lie’…buy a new top handle 192 or what ever the number is now, and then also a 460. Those two saws will do what majority of ‘home owner pro’ types would need to do. Ask the dealer to throw in some chaps and for 1500ish you should be set. if you are ‘stihl’...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I am not a fan of the rounded/sleek styling on new machines…but to be fair I feel the same way about trucks…I like the older square bodies. I really like the fenders on tractors that you could easily mount an actual toolbox too.

    ANybody else have one of these POS sthil 211's

    I don’t know this helps or not… I have 5 still engines (all commercial products except a farm boss) and they all start the same…doesn’t matter hot outside or cold outside. this is my SOP: 0. Top off fuel and prime the bulb (if there is a bulb) 1. Set full choke and tigger locked 2. Normally...

    Massive Cup Holder!

    The last time my beverage was gyrated onto the floor I was still in college (late 90s) and maybe one of best nights of my life.😉 If I would have had a tractor at that time, then I damn sure would have ended up in jail that night (I was lucky I did not as it was) honestly I’ve not had a problem...

    BEE KEEPING

    IMO, it is not an inexpensive hobby to start. As far as keeping them, I think I am still a behaver (3 years in), but aggressively aspiring to be a bee keeper. before getting to happy with the throttle, I’d recommend one of two things (or maybe ideally both): 1. Find a local club or university...

    Messicks wins again

    Maybe…I would chalk that up to cost of ownership, and sure $66 bucks not free, but it’s an ounce of prevention to something that doesn’t fit properly or worse if an agri-engineered cover came off in use and allowed debris into the tank. At some point $66 doesn’t seem donegal bad compared to...
