    Rotary hoe/roto-tiller first test

    “Rotary hoe"? Hhahahha………..I had to click on it to see what it is, but much like the “metric system”, it makes total sense. (y) (y) We call it a “tiller” over here. (AKA roto-tiller) Looks like it will save you a ton of work though…..Nice!!!!!

    M7060,.. Are wheel weights a must & a creeper gear?

    I have "no dog in this race” because I only have a “toy tractor”. However, this whole concept/discussion of not using “low gear” for "high stress” situations is utterly and completely “counter-intuitive" to me. Now that it has been pointed out, I guess I get it (kinda?), but for the life of...

    Outside wood boiler water temp controller

    Does your camp have internet? Since we got internet at our place we have installed a “smart” thermostat (and some cameras), so we can monitor/control things from home. Without “the net” I cant think of anything besides timers and such. 🤷‍♂️

    BH92 backhoe removal

    I have put my 77 on gravel once, with boards under it. As posted above, it was pretty easy to put back on, just use the hydraulics to line it up. (y) (y)

    Between the "voices in my head” and the "ringing in my ears", ……..it’s never quiet. :cautious::cautious::cautious:

    Lifting a boat off a trailer ... not floating if off.

    My buddy uses “mostly” wood blocks at his marina, but I have never actually watched him block a boat, so I can’t help there. But I put these “teflon” things on my bunks and have been pleased with them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077H64JRD?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

    PUTER GEEKS

    The bottom of Lake Huron is ‘littered” with guns…..or so I’ve heard….. ;) ;) Both my Colt rebates just showed up……now can afford to buy ammo, and pay for my "ATF mandated Boater Safety Course":giggle:

    Wake Up Maggie (Apologies to Rod)

    Outstanding job sir! I love the ingenuity of the people on OTT. I love having a mag drill as well. (y) (y) (y)

    Is there a best brand of grapple?

    I have an HLA brand grapple. I like it. And embarrassingly enough, the reason I have it, is quite simple; It’s what the dealer had, so I could get a “package deal”. 🤷‍♂️ I have no real complaints about it, although those EA ones look pretty cool with the serrated jaws. ;) I think I might get...

    Land Plane vs Box Blade

    I tend to agree with @PaulL ……. so far I am “underwhelmed”. I have a box blade and my “main purpose” for it was/is gravel driveway maintenance. In all fairness, I am fairly inexperienced so maybe that is the problem, but I kinda wish I would have chosen a land plane instead. In my personal...

    Clamp On Pallet Forks

    My Vevor stuff is “hit and miss”……but “mostly” hit………but I have had a few “bad apples”... For 130 bucks, I would try them……..especially if you can order them thru the "Big A” since they have an awesome return policy. Although I do agree that my forks are probably “more useful” than nearly any...

    Resetting New Hour Meter

    If I recall correctly, In a time long, long ago, and a land far, far away…….the auto dealer I worked for had to replace a dashboard for some reason. They had to send it to “Chrysler” then they sent a new one back that had the correct mileage on it. But I doubt tractors receive the same...

    HST fluid, filter and oil filters? I searched but?

    I am kinda on the fence when it comes to my stuff. Wifes van gets ……….”Wally World everything” (oil, filters, tire….blah ….blah……) 250K so far Truck gets “Wix filters, Rotella oil, Royal Purple trans fluid, Wally World gear oil”….294K so far Tractor gets “STRICTLY Kubota filters, Rotella...
