    3pt Sprayer Recommendations (B2650, 5 acres)

    john deere has some pretty good options for 3pt sprayers too. I have one of their 60 gallon ones on the list for the next implement to buy. I am looking at one with a boom and a foamer for my pasture and yard. It has like a 20-40' hose with a spray gun as well to reach areas either too steep or...

    FedEx has lost my EA Grapple......

    Well there are two good(ish) possible outcomes here First and foremost the issue gets resolved and the grapple arrives no problem. Second they send out a second one, FedEx then realizes their mistake and gets the first back on track and you end up with two grapples. EA may give you a return...

    Covid Stuff - Unrelated

    First the analogy wasn't based on a run on customers. It was to demonstrate that when something that is readily available is usually not cribbed or kept in bulk to maximize space. In something like a hospital they don't make money from storing gloves and masks they make money by throughput of...

    Covid Stuff - Unrelated

    Ok so you run a business, let's say a tattoo parlor. For that business you need to have your essential equipment: tattoo gun, disposable needles, ink, paper, stencils, plastic gloves, etc.. Since it is a business the idea is that you need to make money so that you can feed your family. So to...

    Covid Stuff - Unrelated

    Hospitals are businesses. Like it or not, believe that is the way it should be or not, it is the truth. Businesses do not like to pay taxes because that is a loss of profit. Especially if it is something that is usually readily available. That CAT Scanner has probably at least a 36 week lead...

    COVID-19 Stuff

    This is a little skewed. There are a few things to keep in mind: 1) There are a lot of flights that carry freight from carriers like UPS, FedEX, and USPS. 2) Some travel is essential and just because you are flying doesn't mean that you are going on vacation. For example, meat packing plants...

    Sorry to hear about that happening, and hopefully there wasn't anything in there that is irreplaceable.

    Looking at buying.

    I have an L2501 on 19 acres, it works really well especially with the challenges the previous owners left for us. We have an RCR 1860 brush cutter due to the amount of growth on our property. In heavy heavy brush it'll bog it down if you go too fast. The only complaint that I have is that it is...

    Buying in this economy

    Well if you are using it to farm crops you'll probably be ok. Especially because people still gotta eat, and the price of corn and beans may actually increase (I have no evidence to back this up but just what my gut says) due to the difficulty companies will probably face trying to import or...

    Ford vs Ferrari Tiller for L3560

    From what I have found on the ol' interwebs people seem to lean towards land pride. Their argument seems to circulate around build quality, parts availability and service availability. For example, while KK is sold at places like Tractor Supply Co. that everyone has in a 30 mile radius (in fly...

    Amazon delivery drivers........?

    But they aren't for a large professional corporation. They are independent contractors that are contracted by the Large Corporation. They are basically acting like UPS or FedEX. UPS and FedEX are not owned by the companies they deliver for. They are selling their services to those companies. So...

    Amazon delivery drivers........?

    But we aren't lowering standards. The fact of the matter is there have been people dressing like this forever, Albert Einstein wouldn't ever comb his hair, the stereotypical fat guy in a stained wife beater and crappy jeans. Acting like everyone should be wearing a 3 piece suit to hand over a...

    Amazon delivery drivers........?

    This comes back to not knowing what other people are going through or have gone through in their lives. Maybe the person does have a house and clothes but are locked into a debilitating depression where it takes all their fight to get up in the morning and do their jobs, let alone care about how...

    Amazon delivery drivers........?

    As an owner of a business you have every right to choose how your employees dress and who you serve. If they are instructed to wear uniforms like UPS and FedEX Drivers then by all means they should. I think the flip flop opinion is kind of on the edge but if it is your business it is your...

    Amazon delivery drivers........?

    I guess I fall in the boat of if it isn't hurting anyone then I don't really care. I will joke about people showing up in their pajamas to work and things like that but I don't mind it all that much. I mean people get robbed by people in uniform all the time. Crooks use stuff like that to blend...

    Time to ReFi that house/property!

    I apologize my reply came off wrong and your avenue works very well to save significant money as well. I wholeheartedly agree there are a lot of factors when considering refinancing or paying down a loan or both. All I meant to suggest is that if you combine a refinance and your accelerated...

    Time to ReFi that house/property!

    Yes but consider this. If you can lower your payments by $100 a month and then do the accelerated payoff then you put an addition $1200 a year towards your principal. So lets say that you refinanced 4 years and 3 months into your loan (for easy of math) you would have saved an extra 6 grand and...

    How do you report SCAMS sent to us in messages?

    I believe you send it to one of the moderators and they will investigate. If they are a scammer they will probably shut the account down.
