    Not a good day at the farm

    Not that this is super helpful after the fact, but every few weeks I do a full video of everything we have in the shop (and outside). Just a quick 5 min walk around. This way I have a video record of it all in case of theft. Second, video cameras with cloud recording and motion alerts are...

    Need a BB/Pellet gun

    Oooo I like this one. Too bad I can just use a .22 rimfire or I would get one!

    The new tractor hauler

    I got the F250 6.7L diesel in 2018, love it. I am getting 22 mpg on the highway if I am careful with the throttle And sit below 70 mph (No tow). I don’t have a commute. Very nice truck you have there, looks great. Glad you were able to pick it up this year.

    Need a BB/Pellet gun

    I see Bark that is very considerate of you. A silenced .22 short rifle (bolt action) would be the very best IMO. That would take some time to get the silencer, but just thinking for future (next year, etc). I doubt they will hear a pellet gun if you are say in the middle of that 40 acres...

    Need a BB/Pellet gun

    Anyone that knows what to listen for is going to recognize the distinct sound of a air based pellet gun going off. 177 or .22...I grew up shooting these...thousands of pellets through both calibers. If sound is an issue it means you are very close to neighbors and your aren't going to get...

    Move piles of stuff after using FEL or bucket?

    Classic! OP Seriously though 50 ft is nothing. Keep it up. It will take you longer to load and dump. I assume by having a BX you don’t have enough property to warrant a dump trailer. If you have an ATV maybe a smaller trailer for it…but again the loading dumping is the issue.

    Jerry

    Hi Jerry and welcome to the forums! May I ask why you are concerned about the drop? When not in use you should have that bucket level on the ground. I even put mine down every time I get off the machine for safety. Perhaps someone has a WSM for the L60 series and can check the specs to confirm.

    Best Hydraulic Quick Disconnects

    I rigged a flat to pioneer 6 inch hose so when I disconnect the implement I can pop that flat face to pioneer on the fitting. No more pressure issues. Just pop the adapter hose off and hook it up. The bad news is if you have 5 implements like this it gets expensive...

    in the market for a grapple

    Nothing directly. Manufacturers dumb down most tractor implements to a HP rating so idiots don’t put a 1000lb grapple on a BX23. However in general lift capacity follows HP to some extent so it isn’t Totally out of alignment to use it. Not accurate though. The L2501 and L3901 have same...

    Stump bucket

    The part you should be concerned about is your loader frame, not the stump bucket itself. A tractor loader has very little frame support for forces pushing toward the tractor. This is every different than a skid steer where the loader arms rest against the machine in the down position (to...

    Let'm die!

    I understand. Being in healthcare and previously in the military it has always been something I have to provide and keep updated. Expect Pfizer to be approved very soon, not sure about the others. The only reason it has not is a 6 month wait is required to be sure it continues to be safe...

    Let'm die!

    I havent seen science specifically related to who a company should require to get vaccinated. However there is over a century of precedence in the US legal system. Employers have been requiring vaccines (MMR,Tdap, influenza, hepatitis) of their employees for decades. It is nothing new. Just...

    Let'm die!

    This is a recent post with his input and they do raise some good points. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/aug/5/biden-teams-misguided-and-deadly-covid-19-vaccine-/ What I don't see them address is mutations in nature. The Delta variant is affecting the unvaccinated far more than it...

    Let'm die!

    Thats the issue. It would of course appear that a cloth mask is an obstruction...but in reality to particles the size of a virus it just isn't. With regards to publications, this has most of it . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7497125/ Look down at the studies that were...

    Let'm die!

    Masks in general are really a joke unless you have N-95 and keep it airtight as I previously mentioned and provided a systematic review link for. From a population health scientist perspective if say everyone wears a surgical type mask then maybe transmission is decreased by 5-10%…to them that...

    Let'm die!

    p= .025 is not statistically significant. I would not take much from the CDC article. Not only that but we don't know what types of masks were used. Most of what I have seen with real protections is N-95 or better. Everything else doesn't have a significant impact on reduction of illness or...

    Let'm die!

    Simple explanation is reporting has improved. Systems are in place to easily report and monitor adverse events from COVID vaccines. The world's medical scientists are looking at it with a microscope. We would need data to confirm, but this is my theory.
