I knew I would catch a lot of flack with thr "feels like 100 comment". We have a saying in Minnesota, "it's not the heat, it's the humidity". Come back in 6 months when it's -20 degrees real temp. Haha.

Added some grass clippings and turned the compost pile. It's supposed to be "feels like" 100 degress here today. That's hot in MN. Just a before photo only. Headed indoors the rest of the day.

Thanks, I appreciate all your advice! I've only turned it twice this year. I'll definitely turn it more often now.

Then I turned the compost. I'm still in the beginner experimental phase. Added more greens, lawn clippings and weeds from garden. Then turned with bucket. Not sure how soon I should turn it again. Think I'll give it a week or two? You can now see the security fence I installed in the front to...

Weather was nice today, as in not raining and no heat advisory. Got some tractor therapy in, more mowing! Hit 70+ hours on my L3902. Still have not had a regen yet. Not sure if this is normal? No issues, still love the tractor. There's a motocross track hidden in there somewhere. Braaap!

OK, I guess my local Fleet Farm (Farm and Fleet) has the reducing bushings in stock. Was curious why the QH15 was discontinued, but yet sold to me with my new tractor? I've been mostly pleased with it. The dealergave me correct bushings on my rotary mower, just not the box blade. First time...

This thread came up at a great time. Follow-up silly question, I have the same QH15 and found some .875 ID x 1.125 OD bushings on Amazon. But I can't find the 1.125 ID x 1.45 OD size. Any links?

Put the forks on, then cut and moved some tree branches. Started another burn pile.

Quick internet research says Ballast Star is basically calcium chloride with rust inhibitor. How well it inhibits rust remains to be questioned. I would start by getting a spray bottle of soapy water to spray around the rim/tire bead and valve stem to inspect for leaks. Quick tip, inflate tire...

Thanks for asking, I should have tried the forks. I put the bucket back on and pulled it back, scoop, and dump several times. Appreciate the advise, this my first season composting. It's mostly a collection site for the wife's garden clean out.

Finished mowing late last night. So this morning, I moved a couple things back to their place after mowing. I know the importance of counter weight but today, I reminded myself why we use it. I picked up this log no problem, but trying to drive with it over uneven ground was not happening, even...

Mowing season in full swing here. Reminder to watch out for these little guys! Mom kept a close eye on me just about the whole time I was mowing.

Didn't like the look of the grass on this jump. Decided to give it a 'tune-up'. My friends call this the 'send it' jump. Sits at the top of a hill where we land on the backside. Then I dug a small drainage ditch for water run-off. A low lying part of the track, decided it was dry enough now...

Finally woke the beast from the winter slumber. Used it to move some dirt piles. Made two bigger bumps into three smaller ones. Braapp! Side note, 65hrs and still no regen. Love this thing, sips fuel. Maybe it's defective, but fuel gauge said "full" even after 3 hrs today.

Try disconnecting the door from the opener and see if it opens far enough. The rails and the height of the ceiling or opener have little to do with the"travel" of the door. You need to adjust the travel opening, or get an extension kit for it to open further. In my case I ended up removing the...
