    Memorial Day

    My former wife's father Henry Brauner was shot down over Laos in March 29th of '72 on a C130, never recovered ... Had a formal ceremony in 2010 IIRC at Arlington ... I don't think most people realize how much it effects the children of those that don't come home, her and her mother were notified...

    Recommended brush hog for L3010?

    Low cost rear ballast options

    I built my own for my SCUT ... Sheet of plywood, 6 - 80 Lbs bags of concrete, quart of paint, scrap I had ... I left the side and rear plywood "high" to make a box, and cutout the sides to drop my trimmer in ... 707.0 Lbs!

    Deer fencing options for the garden?

    I kinda did that when I was in Vermont protecting my garden from deer and raccoons ... I used a strip of aluminum foil and peanut butter, stapled to the webbing ... Balled up the aluminum foil with a tail sticking out and stapled that to the lower lines for the raccoons ... No more corn...

    L2502 to L3902

    How about rent a L3902 or bigger tractor for a weekend ... See if it will do what you want? I completely understand about having too big of a tractor, that then needs a bigger trailer, and more truck to pull it ...

    Don't buy a bigger tractor than you need.

    Well ... I bought my "Little Baby Overgrown Lawnmower" a 25 HP SCUT 3 years ago, during the "derth" not much on the tractor lots ... I was looking for a 50-75 HP tractor with a backhoe ... Couldn't find ANYTHING within 500 miles ... My brother who has a B, and his son had a BX, (both have...

    Another 1st Time Buyer Help Thread

    Under 50HP, I'd say definitely go 4X4 ... Over that I'd not be as fussy on my property ... HST will be much easier for a new to tractor operator to run, and loader work too!
