    Cover for deer

    A number of years ago i planted about two acres of a mixture of native grasses. I do not recall the exact mix but it is quite thick and the deer love to bed down in it. The grasses have spread out somewhat from the original size, maybe another acre or so. You’re supposed to burn it off every...

    Sometimes you just have to say it...

    I thinks it’s just the opposite, everyone is buying online because they can offer slightly cheaper prices and it’s more convenient. Thus the brick and mortar stores need to reduce cost. In our area at least B and B stores are closing at a rapid rate. It always amazes me when people don’t...

    Sometimes you just have to say it...

    I’d rather check myself out, most of these places can barely get people to work as it is. So If the option is there I use it. Stopped by a new convenience store the other day and they had self checkout. First I’ve seen them in a C-store.

    Making choices...

    I worked in a field where we had to sell our products by law to licensed customers and in turn they had to buy from us and I still managed to tell people no. Not necessarily on selling them the product but on things they felt “owed” or wanted because our competitors were doing it. Typically...

    Do you reverse your rear blade for snow ... any issues?

    On my gravel drive I have turned my blade around and I’ve not damaged it in any way. It does leave a layer of snow of on the gravel which I prefer. I used to drag gravel all over the place trying to get all the snow off. I did realize that if I pile up all the snow in one location, once it melts...

    Running Hot

    I was having this problem over the summer mowing higher than it should have been weeds. I too had replaced the coolant a few months prior as well. long story short, the only thing that’s helped is thoroughly cleaning out the radiator. I stopped by the local tractor dealer to see what they might...

    A different quick hitch

    I’m not sure if I’m understanding correctly. Maybe I used the wrong lingo. But the top link is the adjusts arm that is attached to the tractor, top of the three point hitch. Looks like this. The piece that I picked up to make hook up easier was a Y shaped linkage that replaces the large hook...

    Vote!

    This will be unpopular but I don’t think everyone should vote, especially if your going to vote straight ticket. It’s my opinion that one should research the candidates and make decisions based on information about each one, especially in local elections. One of our county commissioners is up...

    How crazy are you about topping off your tank?

    I only fill up when it’s needed. Usually, below 1/4 tank. It’s my least favorite thing to do with my tractor. Only because I either have to drive it to the fuel station about a 20 minute drive on the tractor or fill up my 5 gallon can. For the life of me I can’t seem to empty the can without...

    If only there was a way to actually make the bastard pay

    I think what he said is ridiculous but. Jones talks about lizard people/aliens and inter-dimensional beings running the world, crazy stuff like that. Who the h…. would listen to him and takes anything he says serious? He is a caricature and or a parody of a “news” show. What percentage of the...

    Cutting up a large Basswood that fell down

    Thank you, that’s good news. There’s a lot of dead trees that are exactly the right size for firewood. I saw they placed those purple traps on my property about 5-6 years ago. Last week after mowing the field my dad and I were talking about all the dead trees in the bottoms, they’ve wiped out...

    Cutting up a large Basswood that fell down

    Between mine and my uncle’s property all the d the ash trees are dead, I assume from the emerald ash bore. What’s the protocol for cutting them up and moving it to a completely different location to burn in a fire pit? Is this a no-no or do the ash bores move on once the tree is dead? I don’t...

    Roundabouts

    They have added two in our area within the last few years. One in front of my sisters house. They would have accidents there on a weekly basis. It’s one of the reasons they changed this particular intersection, to slow down the traffic. I have found that they work well but only when everyone...
