You might want to check with someone local on how the root system of the pines are in your area. Where I am, in central NC with clay soil, the pines are shallow rooted. In the sandy soil of eastern NC where my brother lives, the exact same species of pine will have tap roots that start out about...

I understand the reason for an operator presence sensor (seat switch) on an open station tractor. People have fallen or been knocked off and run over, usually by whatever implement is on the back. Never quite understood the purpose of an operator presence sensor on a cabbed tractor. Chances...

Understand timing grossly limits options and McDonald’s is one of the few 24 hour option in some places, so no criticism. If you semi-routinely patronize them (even a couple times a year), download their app and order from your phone before you go to the restaurant. No messing with a...

No offense to anyone intended. Often when I complain about our deer and groundhogs eating everything they can get in their mouths or bite chunks off of well meaning folks respond with “plant _____, deer don’t like the taste/smell.” But… Wife likes making stuff out of Perlers. They’re little...

So you know it isn’t completely obstructed, but it runs so we knew that already. My thoughts aren’t specific to that engine so maybe irrelevant. Having dealt with a few gasoline engines with catalytic converters obstructed by collapse, the behavior described (including exhaust that appears free...

Restricted exhaust would be most likely suspect based on behavior and things y’all have already ruled out.

.22 bolt action with silencer and night scope. Sounds like a dry fire, but it ain’t. If you have coyotes like we do, they’ll carry it off to thick brush for the dirty work of cleanup. No one will ever know unless you tell them. 😉

I think you’re generally right on both points. For us, going from the MTD tin foil origamy “tractor” to the Cub ZTR cut yard mowing time from 80 minutes to 40. The time with the T is 45 minutes. Of course that’s specific to one yard and not applicable to all scenarios. The best cut quality...

Short answer: My wife wanted it and I’m happy with it. I had a Cub zero turn for several years. I liked the zero turn. When my son lived at home, he liked using it. I have nothing negative to say about zero turns. Long answer: Wife hated the zero turn. First time she used it, after a few...

I don’t mean to be rude, but with those beady little eyes, your neighbor’s dog is kind of ugly. And it’s definitely overweight. That last picture: maybe it’s just an oddity of the picture, but it looks like it’s in bad need of having its nails trimmed. Sad to see a dog that’s not being properly...

Yeah, 680lb per Kubota. Wouldn’t get a WC68 off the ground. Maybe would lift OPs chipper. 🤷‍♂️ Just something to consider…
