Check your local CraigsList if you are near a bigger town/city. Nice very low time Hondas on all the time for 1/2 retail. Worth an hour or so drive!

I teach CCW here in AZ... I had a nice divorcee ask for a private class. Very good at gun handling and accuracy. She later wanted me to do a gun safety class with her ex and his kids as well as her kids. On a private range, we started with the 22 rifle. The kids were 15 down to 5 years old...

Regular gas last week in PHX: $2.68 Diesel at Circle K (not the cheapest for sure!) $3.98

Buddy of mine has one of the new smallblock (4 or six cylinder) and he loves it. Not to bash anyone's favorites... I don't own any brand so I don't have a dog in this fight -BUT... A buddy has a Dodge 1/2 ton he uses for construction. Its a 2006 or so. I hopped in one day and the ride was...

I can't wait... BRING IT ON!!! :)

AWESOME!!!! I love the log cutter/splitter!!! The Unimogs rock! (I grew up in Germany in the 60's and those were everywhere -especially in the vineyards!) The giant tractors remind me of my high school days in Chicago. We kept a plane up on Clarence Aavangs farm. My parents had just spent the...

M, You did good. As I understand it, the main difference is the exhaust on the new ones has a catalyst built into it. Not a real good idea as diesels run cool, especially when unloaded. This requires a ton of high RPM operation periodically to keep clean. You don't have to worry about any of...

As usual, the wealth of knowledge here is awesome. Thanks to everyone! For newbies: The 3pt will float above whatever lower limit you select with the selector. Lowering the selector all the way down will give the implement the widest degree of freedom to float. The lowest setting will allow a...

Thanks Jim! I'll try it. What's a "rockshaft?"

..."half as many advertisements" No wonder I upgraded! :) Still getting a bunch too...

OE, RANT ALERT Agreed. Its all about education. And, only lately, is the NRA attacking the anti-gunners head-on. After all, the numbers speak for themselves. State after state that enacts concealed carry laws sees violent crime go down markedly. They, the anti-gunners answer is more laws and...

Smaller version of the type the used to level the desert around Phoenix. Some of those things were 60-80 feet long. Pulled 'em with Caterpillar dozers.

Thanks Shaun. I'll try that with the rake! A friend of mine uses his box to drag his two horse pastures. I'll ask him if he goes full down on his 3pt because his passes are laser level and the ridge between passes is like mine in the pictures above. One way to test the float is to lower my box...

CoachGeo, My experience is that once the 3-point goes past grade contact, I still get the tractor influencing the implement angle. With the 3-point all the way down, I still seem to get a wavy pass if the tractor is riding through bumps. I agree with you, float when the 3-pt is all the way...

Here is the rake in the "comb" position. Two point it did nicely, except for the chattering... "][/URL]

The Problem: The rake chatters when pulled via 2-point. The smooth part is the box pulled 2-point (upper released) "][/URL] The box fills up, but then glides on its own layer of material. This material is decomposing granite... "][/URL] Shot of box from rear... notice 1/2" between blade and...

Tractors son... dangerous business...DONT TRY THIS AT HOME!!! Can't be too careful with the surge in booger-eating-morons out there. :) My buddy is at work. When he gets home, I'll get him to post some pictures of his chain upper link and the result on his gravel driveway. To simulate it on...

Gang, Had my bro out from California and let him drive my Kubota. First tractor driving experience for him. (He did great!) Before he came out, I described the engineering problem associated with anything hard-mounted on the three point. Front tire rolls over a dime, the attachment goes down...

Well.. The reason I asked is I let it idle for 6 minutes and it ticked off .1 hour. (Mine is a 2012 L3800) I'll have to try it again. Hope it counts idle at 1/3 time!!! That would save on oil and hydrastic service. :)

Great idea! Speaking of dollies, Harbor Freight has 5" wheels rated at 330 lbs on sale for $7. I ordered 18 of them and will build up dollies for my implements so I can move them around the shop easier. 2x6s doubled will give plenty of strength and the wheels are more than stout enough. The big...
