    ICE! Wintertime Shady Section of Driveway

    Oh, and I tried ripping out the ice with my LX2610 in the dead of winter and it doesn't have the weight and traction to pull up the ice. Which in mid winter the ice in this 100' section is about 5" thick.

    ICE! Wintertime Shady Section of Driveway

    So, I have a section of my driveway that freezes over at around December and stays frozen until about April. My driveway goes thru medium dense forest and this particular section is in the shade all winter and part of Spring. It also has an uphill on the South side and a downhill on the North...

    Grease guns that don't leak?

    I'm sold on my Lube Shuttle grease guns. And Lock N Lube end points. Grease is kinda like anti-seize for bolts. It manages to get everywhere it isn't supposed to be. https://youtube.com/shorts/rjLsNmNn7xg?feature=shared

    With a starting price of 0ver 25K for an L3902DT... I would think it's a steal. Or it's stolen.

    Lowering a road - Possible?

    Here is my take on it... OP: "I have about 150' of 12' wide dirt road that I need to lower about 2.5-3.5 feet. Is it possible to use my scarifiers on my box blade to cut up the material, then scoop with the FEL and remove it?" Yes. 100 percent.... Pending boulder or large rock issues. You...

    Mx6000 vs M6060

    In my opinion, YES. Comfort vs money. As for myself, the cab option helps me do work when I otherwise wouldn't do it in a cab-less tractor.

    Mx6000 vs M6060

    The Cab option is HUGE. And expensive. Winter cold with a heater, summer heat with air conditioning, flying bug issues. No cab. You are in the elements. If you don't care about comfort or bugs. Save your money and get an open station. If money is a non-issue. Or the weather and bugs...

    Used tractor price negotiation

    If none of this ethics conversation makes any sense to you, you just don't understand the value of the human soul. Do the right thing.

    Used tractor price negotiation

    So. Many years ago, think early 2000's.. Two boys in their teens walked into the station and turned in a purse that they found. It's considered 'Found Property' in the gov realm. Anyway, inside the purse was over $60,000 US. $60,000!!! In Cash. And also details of the owner of the...

    Used tractor price negotiation

    One doesn't. But it could be. The stereo situation actually happened to me. I was at a Walmart, came outside after shopping and saw a portable stereo system in an otherwise empty cart next to my truck. I couldn't believe it. It was just sitting in the shopping cart. No one around. I took...

    Used tractor price negotiation

    So, hypothetically, your farmer neighbor passed away and his wife is sorting things out. No one is around and his tractor is sitting in a field with the keys in it. You have your trailer hooked up to your truck and the dead guys wife doesn't even know about the tractor. No body knows...

    Used tractor price negotiation

    Thank you, ya'll. I pay for something that is priced right. I do not try to get it at a lower price. Otherwise I do my best to shut up. Getting more add ons for free is taking advantage of a seller in need. A seller in need probably needs the funds more than you do, as a buyer. Asking for...
