That was totally avoidable. You can hear juvenile idiots laughing in the background, one of which undoubtedly turned the lathe on. It’s just luck the kid didn’t have a leg torn off. I’ll bet those laughing dumbasses would have gotten a real charge out of that. When I was a kid, those laughing...

Correct. It’s a hassle, but a weed eater is often the safest option for a pond. Straight up and down slopes is the safest way to cut the grass. If it’s a steep slope, I prefer to back up it and cut on the way down. My experience is that a FEL won’t help make a tractor more stable in this...

OP, by the way, my experience with small acreage haying is it will cost you much much more to do yourself than to hire it out. If you can find anyone will to mess with such a little bit of hay. Buying hay is an economical option to putting it up yourself, especially if you need to buy or rent...

I understand zero turns can get a bit unwieldy on cross slopes and turning around on the same. The pond may be a concern with either piece of equipment? I’ve seen pictures of both stuck in a pond.

Big K’s been making tractors for a while. They know the math and factors of safety. Chances are staying within those parameters will minimize the potential for damage.

I think @johnjk and @MapleLeafFarmer have the approach I’d go with, given your $20k budget and proposed usage. Indeed the operator was a bit sloppy with all the cosmetic damage. If the rest of the tractor matches that treatment, I’d pass. But if it passes the inspections mention above, I’d...

The was a fellow who was a diesel fitter. He always came home from work nice and clean, smelling good and had soft hands. His neighbor doubted that he was actually a diesel fitter. So the neighbor followed the fellow to work one day and watched the fellow work. Turns out the fellow worked in a...

If traction is a concern, you might consider liquid ballast in the rear tires. The weight of the back blade, while moving snow won’t help with traction given that presumably the bade is in the full down position allowing it to follow the ground contours, unless it’s being held up to control the...

Probably two things at work, ok three. A skilled and knowledgeable fabricator with the use of very simple tools and supplies. Necessity due to few other choices and way more time than money. Regardless, quite impressive outcome.

Heck, I didn’t have medical insurance on myself until I was established in my career. When I was a kid, many poor folks had no medical insurance. The state didn’t give it to you back then.

I suspect someone’s confused the terms “brand” and “generic” with “prescription” and “OTC”. Unless perhaps the suggestion is to purchase from non-US based vendors, wherein it is possible to get some prescription meds without an actual prescription.

True that. I’ve got one, it was my only tractor until my L, and I haven’t used it since the L was delivered. It’s about 70 years old.

Well 8N’s are not very expensive. For a reason. But obviously it will not compare to a modern machine. But it could move snow.

A member here provided a real good reminder about three points and having no down force recently. It was about towing with the three point by using a draw bar between the two lifting arm eyes (or any of the commercially available implements that do the same thing). In that configuration, if a...

I think this post and poster’s B3030 May have a block heater. I think it has the B1505 engine as well. B3030 with V1505 Engine which may have a block heater

They do. I get mine at Costco as well. I may or may not have a more than a passing familiarity with the (legal) pharmaceutical industry. The vet came unhinged. Something about assuming I’d buy Chinese knockoffs from “Chewy”. It was pretty comical. I asked to speak with the vet after my pet was...

You are welcome.

I rarely do. I did it this time emulating you. I guess you didn’t realize that. Normally a period is used to end a sentence and or statement unless a question mark is warranted. Or unless an exclamation point/mark is warranted. I’m curious what it means when you do it? Some might understand...

Just curious what ending nearly every posting’s initial sentence with an exclamation mark is?

No help with a carrier recommendation. Here you can’t get a veterinary appointment sooner than about 3 months out. But if you’re willing to pay an extra $150, they miraculously can fit you in next week. Funny how that works. God forbid you don’t want buy the medication from them and want a hard...
