    New Laptop - setup questions

    Appears your questions have been answered. Side note! Lost my hard drive at work and all my records once. Cost was 2K to get my data back, company paid for it though but it was a painful process. For my home computer I have a 1TB external hard drive I use to back of my Jay's Data Folder from...

    What's cookin' boys?

    Some prime new York strip, cooked to 117 then allowed to rest, final temp 135 perfect for me. Deviled eggs, bacon wrapped asparagus and some garlic toast. The A1 was not for the steak but I do like dunking my bread in it.

    Tall cherry trees are down

    Magicman is the resident expert here on saw milling, I bet he can offer advice. May check YouTube Out of the Woods, a guy who does lots of videos on sawing logs. he cuts many slabs 2 1/4" thick. I assume because after drying and planning he ends up with a 2" thick slab. Sure magicman will be...

    source for hydraulic tube color tape?

    Home Depot has a 6-pack of colored tape, may be best not to put it right at the connection point but a foot away may reduce the amount of fluid that gets on it. Another idea is go clockwise at your connection block and put one black ty-wrap on the line for position one top left, 2 ty-wraps for...

    Tool box options

    I use the holes in the loader arms to store my straps and chains. I had a nice size old Kennedy tool box I painted orange and mounted it. Drilled 3 holes through the tool box and the support that held the reflector, couple big washers on the inside of the tool box and done. It is great and...

    First Time Tractor Buyer, Update: Deal Now Done. Thanks

    As mentioned front and rear remotes. Agree loaded tires use money from the wheel weights for something else. While at dealer buying the tractor may be good time to pick up supplies for first service. Just may discount them nicely! Rear ballast can use the box blade and if desired weld on a...

    Do I need to remove grass before building up a low spot?

    When planting seed remember to water, water and water.... Grass seed will be in top inch of soil so it will dry out quickly and when it sprouts do the same. While grass is young and tender treat it like a baby. Once up 4 to 6 inches maybe use sharp blades and cut it.

    Do I need to remove grass before building up a low spot?

    Establishing new grass by seed can be a pain. I like this idea Motion has. Add some topsoil to the area inch or so at the time. The grass will grow through it. As Motion says once you reach the desired slope toss some more seed on for good measure and add some fertilizer. Second option, add...

    After market non-Kubota filters?

    I like to use OEM oil and hydraulic filters I do however used NAPA gold air filters. My Exmark mower and L4600 take the same air filter, found that kind of odd. Best of luck. Jay

    Gravel driveway

    Few years ago I needed to level an old chicken pen area about 100x100, I used my land plane. The area had holes, some grass, roots, etc. I put the rippers down to start with to break up the ground and rip up the grass. I allowed it to dry then took back pack blower and removed as much grass as...

    Hey gardeners out there, need some advice

    Hey Sheep around my trees I make it about 3 feet away and I don't cut it as deep. I can see what you are saying and it makes sense. Far as spraying be careful if you have Bermuda or Centipede as they have runners. If you spray the runner in your bed it can kill grass outside the bed as the...

Then one day he said the same thing to me, damn Jay hope when I'm gone she does not sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them:) I said I do I'm first in line...

    Hey gardeners out there, need some advice

    After posting looked for some You Tube videos and found a few. If interested try searching for creating border edges with a shovel. Also, I edge mine with the weed eater turned sideways so the string spins vertical to keep the grass from creeping in. I know I did a poor job explain but a...

    Hey gardeners out there, need some advice

    What I do is mark the edge where I want it to be with paint works. Then I take a flat shovel and cut a trench around it. Stick shovel in ground, use knee to lift and kick dirt into the bed. When I use pine straw, I lay it past the trench into the grass and use the shovel vertical to crimp the...

    Same here, when I plant new grass seed I water it until the first cutting as needed. That is it but we do get our share of rain here in NC so it stays green most of summer. Garden I water, I count on the produce for the winter months. Have a great well, can run 24 hours which it takes to water...

    I worked on a golf course for 4 years during the summers while in school. Every year at the beginning of the summer the entire course was aerated. For the greens we pushed the plugs off and filled in holes on the paths with the plugs. We fertilized the greens and then top dressed with sand to...

    3901 purchase

    Just a thought for you to ponder. I ordered a quick attach back plate from Titan Attachments for $220.00 delivered. Found a set of fork lift forks at my work on an old fork lift that no longer would run. Painted them black and presto I was set. If you have a fork lift company within driving...

    Idling vs shutdown and restart

    For me I let her warm up 5 to 10 minutes at 1000 rpm's before going to work. If I'm using it I let it run, off and on to hook up to a log, adjust the top link, potty break, water break, change implements, etc. If I plan to not use it for about 10 minutes or more then I switch it off, For this...

    Advice needed - pine needles on driveway

    As far as blowing away your driveway! When I bought the house I'm in the drive was covered with dirt and grass, could not see any of the gravel. Killed the grass and weeds and started the restoration drive way project. Lowered mower as much as it would cut dead grass and blew it in the yard...
