    Crazy times. Ammunition thread.

    I agree with you and the Walmart stores in my area stop selling ammo months ago. Sales lady told me that once the ammo was gone be no more. No one even works the counter that I have seen since last fall.

    Crazy times. Ammunition thread.

    At my work we produce a shell that requires a primer and powder to fire it to install a product we sell. Twice last year we could not get primers, but within weeks the supplier had us inventory. We use the Remington 209HMF3 primer. The line will produce 1.3 million shells this year so not only...

    Crazy times. Ammunition thread.

    It is quiet amazing! Bought my daughter a 410 for Christmas and could not find ammo anywhere. Luckily had a friend that was going to give me a box so she could shoot her new gun. Then few days before Christmas found some at a small hunting store 10 minutes from my house. And, the price was...

    Part 2 - new ballast box

    Just a thought, stick 2 more pieces of pvc pipe in the corners and drill small hole in bottom for water to drain. Be couple more places to stick a rake, hoe, shovel etc. When I made mine I took the opportunity to clean up broken bricks and cinder blocks to use as a filler. Then poured the...

    I have the EA GB60 and I have enjoyed it now for about 7 or 8 years. I put a 2 inch piece of pipe across the spring tines to help level my rows as I make them works great. Just take ty wraps put it at height I want and go. Run my rows then take off. I like to hoe between my plants first then...

    Tips for removing Hyd filter.

    I had to use a 30" pipe wrench on mine the first time! DT2 suggestion is what I use now for most all my filters. Sand paper good idea, I've been lucky enough just to put a piece of shop rag in it to get a bite. Could a pipe wrench while applying force and some taps on the filter near where it...

    Finish - Rough Cut Mowing

    I personally like to cut my yard using a zero turn. Mine is not sub division quality by no means and with a 60" deck it takes me about 2 hours. The zero turn allows me to be nimble around trees and it the smooth flat places move a quick clip. if I was using a belly mover don't think any way I...

    Landpride vs King Kutter

    Agree with bmeyers. I like Everything attachment implements, they are somewhat local here in NC and offer free delivery within 1000 miles. I know it is not "free" it's included in the cost of the implement. I chose to spend the extra on a landscape rake and bought it from EA. I could have...

    does buying a tractor work like buying a car?

    I have 12 acres mixed wooded, barns, house, chicken pens, soon to be pond, etc. My uncle had a L3400 and after using it for a few years I knew I needed a bigger tractor. Settled on the L3800 but after year looking for a used one in good shape with a loader could not find one. Found a L4600...

    Roadside trimming

    What I do on my road sides is cut back everything couple feet, using brush blade on weed eater, chain saw, pruning saw whatever means the first time. Then I put .155 diameter string in my weedeater head and use it. Most of the young new growth every 2 to 3 months is easy to cut off. I just walk...

    Replacement hydraulic hoses

    The hoses are cheap, the fittings are 75% of the cost. I do not have my receipt still and the 75% may be high but I do recall standing at the counter when I bought the $70.00 hose and said wow the fittings are expensive. For my hose it ran along the loader arm. Too short want connect too long...

    Box Blade Width - Your Thoughts

    I measured the width of the rear tires this weekend and they are 71 1/2" outside of tire to outside of tire. So we will say 72". so I'm leaning towards the 78" weighing in at 545#'s. Give me about 3" outside the tires, not too much but yet a little so I can grade close to something. But not so...

    Another grease thread

    You will get many opinions on which is best and what people use. I used the Lucas red & tacky for years then started using the Amsoil Synthetic Polymeric grease. The Amsoil runs me about $9.00 a tube when I buy a case of 10. An Amsoil rep attends a local expo I go to each year and I buy it...

    Box Blade Width - Your Thoughts

    First off I own a L4600DT with R4 tires. I have a land plane, so the soon to be purchased box blade will not be used for road maintenance. I intend to use it mostly for moving dirt, ripping up some roots in areas I have cleared and a ballast when doing loader work. What width would you...
