I have used both. Currently I use a land pride FDR 2584 behind my tractor. When I get the chance I am going to "upgrade" to a zero turn. I do like the rear finish mower and it works really well but a zero turn is more maneuverable and is able to cut faster. I also have a little experience with...

That's the lab showing through. I often say that our yellow lab would help the people robbing our home.

I have found that the Big Box Hardware Stores like Lowe's, Home Depot, and Menards have issues when it comes to helpful customer service/help. A lot of the time they don't to much training on what a product is or how it compares to their other offerings. I do like Lowe's Kobalt brand stuff...

In that case I suggest getting a realtor to start looking for land for you in the area. you may have more luck if you are trying to build because you may be able to snag a small awkward parcel. But either way it will just turn into a waiting game and the sooner you start looking the better...

I grew up and still have family back in Nebraska. With O'Neill and Atkinson so close to the SD border if it isn't too far away from family I'd suggest maybe looking there. Fairfax SD is about an hour north which speaking from experience is not a bad distance to drive in the Iowa, SD, and...

0° fitting on a power washer always worked for me. Slow going but it'll work that stuff out pretty ok. I also started putting cardboard down underneath stuff too. I found that when I put something down underneath the pan to catch my screw ups magically nothing drips. Then the one time I don't...

Yes the pedals loosen up over time as the parts wear together bolts can loosen a little bit as everything finds it's place. As far as the additional cash off it might be the dealer not having a the exact machine in stock or with 2 weeks left in the month he won't know if he has the time for you...

An idea I literally just thought of and something you could do this year is maybe find a rental yard and see if you can rent some that you are interested in for a week or two and see what you like and dislike from an actual real world test of the things. You can probably rent a grasshopper...

I'd just hate to see another person leave the hobby because they jumped too far in to quick. I am certain the Flip would be able to fly the Mavic and that he would be able to repair it. But sometimes sticker shock happens when it comes to repairs and too many features can be distracting. And...

My recommendation was just based off the potential of saving 300 dollars vs spending an extra 150. Just considering if it turned out not to be his cup of tea a 150 dollar paperweight is a lot easier to swallow than a 500 dollar one. Plus once you get what you need out of the cheap one you have a...

Actually the battery life on these things can be pretty great. Of course it depends on the power draw, the conditions you are flying in, how aggressive you are flying, and the type/size of battery the drone will accept. A NiMH battery you'll be lucky to get 10 minutes of flight time but a well...

I also have a simulation program for my computer called RF8 (Real Flight 8) that allows you to simulate flying a bunch of different airplanes and drones for practice. It is compatible with a bunch of different RC Remotes and you can even buy the program with a controller included. There is...

Remote Controlled vehicles are a hobby of mine. I have a couple of nitro RC Cars, a brushless electric RC car, and have had a couple of RC airplanes. If it is your first drone something to look into is a smaller cheaper drone in the 150-200 dollar range that has no bells or whistles just a...

If you are concerned about reliability I'd suggest to narrow down your field to your top 10 choices of models and brands and then do an internet search that goes: "Brand Model Common Issues" or "Brand Model Problems" and see what pops up. People love to complain about things that go wrong, so...

If it is just the deck you have an issue with there might be a replacement online somewhere that is significantly cheaper than a whole new unit. You may even be able to increase the size to a 54" and a thicker material too. Then maybe you could save up some more to get the exact unit you want...

I have a coyote asado smoker, also a ceramic style smoker. In general all ceramics will perform great. No mechanical parts to break like the pellet smokers. You can use charcoal, lump charcoal, split wood, and probably even pellets. And they hold heat for a long time, which is especially good if...

John Deere has some that are fabricated using 9 gauge (5/32" thickness) decks. I believe these are their "green" decks (contractor grade) vs. the "yellow" decks which are residential. They start as low as $6500 in their Z720E line (lowest contractor model) with a 48" deck and can stay under 8K...

From my experience there is a large price delta between the commercial and the residential offerings. If I remember right, large chain stores like TSC, Home Depot, Ace, etc. mostly offer residential mowers. When you are looking at commercial stuff they are usually sold through independent...

You might be better off just renting a mini excavator for this project. Fighting through compacted gravel would probably the subsoiler or plow to have significant weight to even start digging especially since a 3pt doens't add any downward force. While a mini ex is fairly cheap to rent and will...

My brothers and I got together and bought my parents one of the paddle sweepers for my parents sthil trimmers. The thing works pretty slick on rocks and it works to brush snow off their walkways that the snow blower just can't get to. So it gets used fairly frequently. It was something like...
