With the EA fiasco I recently purchased a grapple from Catawba and could not be more pleased. Excellent communications from them when I contacted them regarding stock and shipping times. I picked mine up from the freight terminal 3 business days after ordering it. Great quality product that...

I have a 2017 L3901 that I purchased used in 2019 with approximately 300 hours on it. I now have over 850 hours and knock on wood, no issues other than an adjustment needed to the PTO switch. Only took me a few minutes too figure that one out as I got of for lunch and all was good then when I...

I am right behind you as I am in my 60's and realizing I cannot keep up with the things I used to do with ease. I have always been self sufficient for repairs and construction around the homeplace and it pains me terribly to pay someone for something that I can do myself. I was planning to...

For those of you that have any kind of trailer with tandem axles this has to be the easiest way to change a tire I have ever used. I bought this and have had it stored in the back for years and never needed it. Well I discovered that one of the tires on my boat trailer had a failed plug and...

My wife and I were eating brats and enjoying the firepit when this eagle flies up the edge of the field and lands in one of the big oaks about 60 feet from us. It paid no attention to us as we conversed and even got up to take a couple of pics.

Sounds like you should be able to use a drawbar between the lower link arms of your 3 point hitch as you are just towing the vacuum. They come in Cat 0, 1 or 2. Here is a pic of one for reference.

What type of wheels does the blower have? I ask as I have a DR Vacuum and it came with wheels on a fixed axle which was great behind the old lawn tractor and just pinned at the single point connection. When I purchased a zero turn years ago, I ordered the swivel wheels and hitch which uses a...

Blue collar - check, and adding to that raising two daughters and my bird brain that I can do it by myself and handle it. A desk job for the last 10 years did nothing to help the damage I did years ago.

Lumbar epidural steroid injections. Hopefully it helps as I would really like to defer the surgery thing if possible. I know eventually I am going to have to go that route but hope to avoid it for a few more years.

Guys I really appreciate the responses, it helps with the overall picture I am now faced with. That said the injections did not happen today as expected as the referral was for a consult and not the actual injections as I was expecting. Oh well, one day at a time, I am now scheduled for late...

I realize that there are quite a few of us OTT folks that are in our 6th decade and beyond. That said, I am looking to hear what some of you may have already experienced. In the last several months I have been dealing with lower back pain and sciatica. The back pain has been tolerable and not...

And no emissions. I would hate to know how many hours are on the ole Ford. It's a 1975 and my FIL farmed with it almost daily for about 40 years. I put a new instrument cluster on it as the tach needle broke off about a year ago. Heck the hour meter had not worked in over 20 years prior to...

Over the last week when time has permitted I decided I would take the time to plant a little food plot on the back of the property. I wanted to put a few more hours on the ole Ford so I put the ole disk on, then used the drag. Next it was seed time and finally a good running over it with the...

Your work is not done and God has other plans for you! :giggle: Get healed up and back at it!

Add jack stands before crawling underneath and its a breeze!

I use my truck most weeks for hauling stuff and then towing the boat and other trailers at least monthly as well as several weeks of off roading in the sand down in Hatteras NC every year. My truck is a tool not a cowboy Cadillac.

I have the 12000/15000 straight gas version and have no complaints. I only have about 10 hours on it ver the last two years. I went larger so I could get hot water and my well pump. Too old for cold showers when the hurricanes and ice storms take the power out for day/weeks.

I had great success with left hand drill bits, and air drill and then an easy out. I had one of the infamous 2008 Ford Triton Engines with the exhaust manifold studs that would beak as well as the broken spark plugs. I suddenly became very good at getting broken stuff out of the old engine...

98 degrees and dry as heck here. Got down to dig the little row of potatoes so they don't cook in this heat. And then fed the spoils to my fertilizer manufacturers.

A little haul about a week ago. My sweet corn should be good near the end of this week and my tomatoes are turning red. We need some rain really bad but I can water the garden a bit to keep it alive.
