    Garden prep ?

    Yea like greensvillejay says - I wouldn't try to actually remove the grass, but rather just till it all into the top soil. Some say to till it after you disc it, but if you dont have all those tools you can do it all with a disc harrow, just keep running passes over it, and from different...

    Garden prep ?

    Based on your post Im not sure if youre trying to SAVE the sod (as in - excavate it from the ground to use it elsewhere) or if youre talking about just clearing the area for garden expansion. If youre just trying to clear the area, and dont mind destroying the grass, I would think a tiller would...

    L2501 6hrs new rattle

    Yes mine is exactly the same - and I never assumed any issue. It has performed perfectly in its first 32 hours of life. It had this difference in sound from day one. I never thought anything of it. Still hope the OP will report back with what he finds out though form the dealer.

    L2501 HST stalls in high

    I have a new L2501 HST with about 40 hours on it. Got it back in May 2019. The issues described by the OP doesn't match my experience with my tractor. I don't use High a lot, and its only when I'm driving back to where I want to start working. The tractor does have an increased whine in High...

    Stihl MS 271

    Thought Id throw my 2 cents in here, as my current project as Ive shared in other places on these boards is clearing woods and expanding our backyard. Been clearing about a solid acre of thick woods and trees and converting it to pristine grassed over back yard space. The chainsaw I've been...

    Emergency new (metal) roof for the house

    Yea well when they told me 4-5 weeks she disclaimered it by saying "Thats just a rough time frame, it all depends on each job and how things go, but we will call you to let you know" Another guy I know who just used them to reroof a shop/barn type building, he was also told roughly 5 weeks, and...

    Gas powered log splitter

    I live in Florida, so firewood here is mostly for what you could call "pleasure fires" I do have a fireplace in my house, and we do burn fires on cold nights, but its more so to enjoy it than to try and heat the whole house. Saying that - I did want a log splitter because we have a lot of logs...

    Emergency new (metal) roof for the house

    this is precisely why I am burning vacation hours to be home during this. I may have to kill 3 full days of vacation just to be there, which is a lot of time to burn just inside the new year. I only get so many hours per year to use. One of the reason I went with this contractor is because they...

    Emergency new (metal) roof for the house

    Well permit has been filed with the county. Just a waiting game at this point to see when they can get to me. I was told 4-5 weeks wait potentially. I will try to keep this thread updated though with how it goes. Ive been reading all the replies and taking it in. I hate reading about all the...

    Loosing Memory

    Some recent studies have suggested that a cup of coffee every morning can help stave off the effects of Alzheimer's. Coffee can reduce the levels of beta amyloid, a destructive protein commonly found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s, by as much as 50%. Another study completed in 2014...

    Emergency new (metal) roof for the house

    Yes you are 100% Right. Radiant barrier insulation is not to be used with shingles for this exact reason - there is supposed to be a small air pocket above the insulation. My contractor also mentioned this when he came out to take measurements. His terminology was "The radiant barrier insulation...

    Emergency new (metal) roof for the house

    Hey NIW thanks for the comments. I am in Florida so no freezing here. I have spoke to folks who tell me the radiant insulation dropped their power bill by $50 a month in the summer. The contractor also played it up when I spoke to them about it - of course he is a salesman as well. I don't know...

    Exercise after 60

    My wife is an RN and worked in a cardiac ICU for several years. She now works in a short term rehab facility with lots of post OP patients. I get to hear all the stories, some nearly unbelievable. We talk about health and wellness a lot. We are both fairly young - in our 30's. She reads a lot of...

    Emergency new (metal) roof for the house

    Looks like good stuff. I'm paying a contractor however, and they buy all their supplies and materials. I'm not doing the roof myself. One of the upgrades however was radiant barrier insulation that will be going down on top of the underlayment.

    Emergency new (metal) roof for the house

    Appreciate that D2Cat. We have horses and so we keep round bales of hay, so we always have big rolls of plastic to cover the hay. I currently have the roof covered with a giant piece of this plastic. I rolled bricks into the edges of the plastic then stapled them in there so it cant unroll out...

    Emergency new (metal) roof for the house

    So my holidays had a bit of a damper in 2019. We knew we were going to need a new roof, or some patch work done in the next year or two, but wasn't expecting to have to do it so soon. one or two small drip leaks had started middle of 2019 and I had patched the roof up with some roofing cement...

    L2501 6hrs new rattle

    Your L2501 sounds exactly like mine. I dont think you have a problem here. One place I have noticed I have some rattle on mine is from the loader stand arms that are on the LA525 loader. I would encourage you to go and grab those arms, and grab their connection points to the loader and see if it...

    RB0560 or Countyline 5 ft blade for BX2380

    I would make my decision on this on how much you plan to use the blade. If it will be just a piece you use sparingly, I would go with the TSC county line blade. If this is a piece you will be using extensively I would spend a bit more and go with the Land Pride. I bought the County Line 5' Box...

    Kubota Credit

    You dont have to pay online to view your account online. The online account system shows a pay off amount and stuff. I use online bill pay for everything. I like being able to log in and see ALL up to date details in front of me on an account. I watch my finances like a hawk. I would go crazy...
