Te nada amigo. The beds didn’t get leveled today. The drainage pipe and releveling the yard took precedence because of some chick named Helene which is apparently gonna spend some time out in the Gulf and turn into a real bitch of a storm. Or so the habitually lying meteorologists are saying...

Finally got around to burying the parking area drain (after the tree service destroyed the original pipe). New pipe and mostly dug trench. Roots that neither the trees nor I need anymore. . Didn’t get a photo of the bucketful of rocks and chunks of stump that I picked up by hand, nor the...

Isn’t there some tractor ownership bylaw that says you MUST hit at least one thing you didn’t intend to?

Just visited New Zealand and Australia back in June/July. The missus is from South Australia, the hottest and driest state in the hottest and driest country on the planet with all the usual fare of peculiar wildlife. I love it down there. While their spiders and snakes are some of the deadliest...

Oops. I feel your pain. I bumped my small tool shed with mine right after I put the toothbar on the bucket. It was not kind to the aluminum siding.

Purchased. Vegepod. Australlian made. The missus picked up 3 doubles and a single for the price of the single. They’re expensive but weren’t moving, so the local hardware store let her have them cheap. He threw in clear vinyl covers that fit over the bug screens for freezing nights. They’re...

Im just wondering how he had time to build it with what must have been a stellar singing career.

Got started with our winter garden this morning. The raised beds needed a little makeup soil to get them back to full level, so I got a bucketful from the compost heap and blended it by hand. I figured out real fast that a shovel that my ex-SIL broke when he borrowed it was the perfect length...

Did you know that particular clothesline design was from South Australia?

Sorta like cats that way. Once they figger out where the food bowl is, they quickly own the humans that fill it up.

Ok, I’ll bite. The LX3310 has the same pump/flow rate as the LX2610, right? Did you use the 3rd Function valve to run the auger or did you use rear remotes? My understanding is that hydraulic PHDs tend to need a bit more flow than the LX series has available on the FEL. A long time friend of...

The bestest yellow jacket spray EVER: And my policy (scorched earth, literally) regarding the little creatures from hell. Did I ever mention how much I HATE yellow jackets?? I think I stirred up this nest with the tractor and the missus was moving some brush nearby. One got her on the eye...

@Magicman, hope everything's good down your way. Looks like it got a bit bumpy. We're getting the outer fringes of 'the dirty side', but really, could have used more rain than Francine has delivered. A little huffin' and puffin', but really not what I'd call a storm. Not even ONE lightning...

Broke in a brand spanking new King Kutter landscape rake from TSC. I only wonder why I waited so long to get one.

Me and the neighbor hired the same tree service to remove some rather large trees from places we didn’t like large trees. He had 16 trees removed, and I had 11 removed. The service showed up with a monster that could easily handle about 40T at 120’ reach, and easily put all the trees on the...

The trick is to pull just enough to remove the slack in the rigging, and only enough to make sure the tree doesn’t pinch the bar on the back cut. I.E., nullify the back lean. The primary purpose of the rigging is only to prevent the tree from falling in the unwanted direction. All the rigging...

I haven’t had any stalling issues other than the tractor not being quite large enough for the chipper. Quite the contrary as far as the hydraulic system is concerned. My primary issue is tweaking the safety bar so that it stays engaged, but not so much that it doesn’t release under moderate...

Took down a hickory tree yesterday for a neighbor. It had a bit of back lean, so rigged up and pulled it out in the yard to avoid a tangled mess to work in. I put a stick in the yard for a sight and the trunk was 6” from the stick when the tree fell. Used the LX2610 to pull the rope taught...

I’m too damn old to wait for another one to get used to me. I’m gonna keep the one I have. A lot less expensive that way.

Your tractor looks like my tractor went on a serious diet. I got the LX2610SU (same as yours without the backhoe) but with the oversized R14s. The rear tires on yours look so skinny. The back of mine looks like a big ‘ol chunky butt. I originally was going to get a hoe for it, but delivery...
