    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    Hard to believe its been 14 years since I came home from a trade show and my then wife asked me to "just" look at this cute dog at the county dog shelter. I was still missing our last German Shepherd Dog that had passed recently and the last thing I wanted was another dog to get attached to...

    When PU's were work trucks

    being a bump side no later than 1972. Nice truck and neat photo! Judging by the grill on my (back in the day) 1972 F250 Hi boy I would say your dad's is also a 1972. Mine was a work truck during the winters in southeast Wisconsin when I would hang the Western plow on and make extra spending...

    To those looking for 20.5x8-10 tires

    Any reason to not consider the Kenda K513’s in 20.5 x 8-10? I run a pair on the front if my B7100 hst with turf rears. https://specialty.kendatire.com/en-us/find-a-tire/turf/k513/ FYI, Wal-mart lists them for about $66.

    B2601 Out in rain?

    I see you have a grapple. My L2501 with Landpride third function sat outside for 6 months before I had my tractor shed built. At the very least I covered the joystick with a heavy plastic juice bottle that I cut the mouth off. I had read a few posts prior that folks had to replace the 3rd...

    Anyone ever make their own small farm/duck pond?

    I dug a small wild life pond about the size your contemplating. 30' x 45'. My soil is very sandy and would not have held water without bringing in 2600 pounds of sodium bentonite pellets to line it after digging with my L2501 bucket and box blade. I also "plumbed" in about 300 foot of 4 inch...

    My Waushara County habitat project slideshow

    There are many different organizations willing to help in various ways so what worked for me may not for you. That being said this is how things played out for me. After purchasing the property in Jan of 2017 I played around myself trying to figure out what I even was dealing with. Carved a...

    My Waushara County habitat project slideshow

    Thank you for the kind words! I was very fortunate that I had the help of some very hard working talented people who work in the habitat industry, along with friends and family. I hope you share some of your progress and experiences as things move along, :).

    My Waushara County habitat project slideshow

    I wish you the best of luck with your 5 acres! Challenging but rewarding work for sure (y):) . For the most part things are going well but it is an ongoing battle with invasive species and woody species wanting to re-establish. We started by "nuking" the complete 28 acres that we mulched...

    My Waushara County habitat project slideshow

    I had put this slide show presentation together for some of the US Fish and Wildlife , Partners for Wildlife folks that were touring some of the projects they helped fund. Trust me, I am not a film maker or even that tech savvy so the quality is not great but you may get some entertainment...

    WoodMaxx Order Concerns/Considerations

    My question is WHEN does the clock start ticking on the dispute time limits? From the initial charge date for that CC transaction or in the case of EA where they charged your card and gave you a 6 month (or more delivery date) delivery date. In that case does the clock start ticking from the...

    Will joesmith123's Engine Ever Run?

    Matt I agree! I respect Joesmith123 for tackling this engine project with minimal tools and experience and letting it all hang out here on OTT. If his engine fails the naysayers are going to be lined up saying "I told you so". If he gets the engine installed and running they will say, " well...

    This is Pale purple cone flower AKA Echinacea pallida. Wi DNR link 8691 While not Federally listed it is an Wisconsin threatened species. When I planted my oak savanna/prairie Echinacea pallida was included in the seed mix. In the four growing seasons since seeding I have only documented...

    Fixing hole in side of block

    I was surprised also to see the results of removing the liners in that fashion with the OP being ok with it. And for my own knowledge. The old liners should have been PULLED with a liner puller and can not be pressed out thru the bottom of the block , correct ? , due to interference with...

    Good Day everyone i recently purchased a KUBOTA B3200 LA504 I wanted to know if i could put a brush hog on the front?

    I seem to remember a thread where a fellow installed a PTO driven snowblower on his loader arms. I am not sure if he limited the travel of the loader or how exactly he handled the limited range of u-joints and pto shafts. Anything is possible as Greensvillejay has mentioned. Does your B3200...

    2014 l4600

    Please verify this. My friend from Mo purchased a 2104 L4600 which he mentioned was the last year of production. He mentioned the reason he purchased it was due to no DPF and related sensors and controls. You can go to Kubota's parts look up site and look at the components also. This might...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    I think I saw something similar to this in a 1950’s horror movie! Lol “The slime creature from outer space”, lolol. Actually some form of fungus down on the edge of my prairie planting. We have gotten a normal amount of rain so far this season after a few years of drought. Along with the rain...
