Just a long shot. Hoping to find a decent 5 foot box blade to pull behind my L2501. Needs to be new enough to be quick hitch compatible. Light to medium duty is fine. Color does not matter. Right now my landscape trailer is snowed in but that will soon change and depending on distance I...

I cleaned up 3 driveways yesterday. We got 3 1/2 inches of wet heavy stuff. Besides my drive I plow my neighbor's wood yard to the north, and neighbor to my south. Fun day to be out on the B7100, temps in the high 20's and easy going with the amount of snow and conditions. My woodyard...

I keep my schedule pretty open, anytime your in the area and want to take the nickel tour let me know! I actually live in Waupaca, land is 17 miles , in Waushara County. I would be happy to pass on a few items I put into my trust.

It would be nice but we have to be content to trust the future stewards of our land that they continue what we started, :) I have put mine in a trust which should go a long ways to make that happen. Not sure if my beneficiaries will be thrilled when that day comes and they learn of my plans...

Thank you! It's getting better all the time. I have owned the acreage now since 2017 , 2018-2019 did a major mulching of half the property and planted native prairie species. Home to many deer now. I have plenty of red oak which produce acorns of course, but whitetail favor white oak...

It was a good day at my oak savanna habitat land yesterday. While not a Kubota working, we did prepare an acre of dense pines for tree planting this spring. I am putting in 300 burr oak seedlings and 75 white oak seedlings along with seeding monarch habitat. The contractor I hired put in a...

Here in central Wi, at 45 degrees north latitude roof top solar is very challenging from a cost and battery storage point of view. Snow build up on panels would be impossible for me to deal with, not that much energy would be produced during Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb anyways Lots of cloudy days...

Another case of build it and then worry who is going to pay for it and where the power will come from. WE Energies in Wi serves about 1.16 million customers. Two data centers are ALREADY in construction which will require WE Energies to DOUBLE it's current electric power production. Let...

AI narrated and I would say the "script" is at the very least AI "enhanced" . I agree cool from the standpoint of the vintage photos! My dad was a journeyman tool and die maker , having served his apprenticeship with Allis Chalmers tractor division located in West Allis Wi, employed early...

The link title I posted is misleading. When you read the article 43 million tons of turbine blade waste is the expected TOTAL by 2050. Not 43 million tons per year. I , nor the article stated that is the USA production of waste blades by 2025. Article states world wide. The link title...

All is good with wind energy! lol. At least when millions of tons of used turbine blades get buried there is not a leaching problem.😖 At this point in time no scalable use or recycle technology to deal with them other than digging a big hole and burying them. Forward thinking , yeah...

And on top of that consider what the large data center's demand for electricity and water is and will be. I have a close friend that him and 10 or 12 other landowners are going thru pure hell with plans for a large data center proposed with a electric grid that is already running close to or at...

I will use WOT or 540 pto rpm’s at times when pulling my box blade for driveway and dirt work. Most loader and grapple work I set the tach about 2000 rpm’s. I do not believe running this engine at those RPM’s is over working it. The same core D1703 engine sold in less emission restricted...

I have the L2501 HST which is for practical purposes the same as the L2502 you rented. I do much of the same work you plan on doing or have done with the rented L2502. My land is hilly but hard to say how hilly in comparison to yours. I took a chance on a used Landpride light duty rotary...

And a Hi-lift jack! :). The real deal and not a cheap knock off.
