Come to think about it, she asked the same thing when the B2650 was delivered… I swear, we communicate. She just doesn’t listen.

About 8-9 years ago, I started talking about looking for a small fishing boat. She pretended to listen, and I started looking. One Friday afternoon, I let her know that I was going to go check out a boat in Bend, which is about 100 miles from me. Took our 5-year old daughter for a ride, and...

Getting tranny fluid into my Tundra is an odd one also. The fill port is on the side, just above the front driveline. My fix is a 5’ length of 5/8” OD clear vinyl tubing that I snake down behind the driver side valve cover from above. The tubing slips snugly into the fill hole on the trans...

I’d get the flail and run the tar out of it in the brush. Plant some grass and Jeep mowing the brush till it finally gets choked out. When we bought our place, it was a pretty good blackberry farm. My wife prefers to not use spray unless necessary, and the mow, mow, mow, grass method worked...

Too bad for Homestead, but there is a zero point zero percent chance that I would extend myself to a company for any period of time that could potentially exceed the limits of an easy refund or dispute. I’d be perfectly honest with the sales person about my intent to pull funds during that...

Fair to assume it’ll continue till the last person gets their money back or Ted issues a formal and personal apology to each member. Also, that one fella still didn’t post his paystub. Some other dude is pretty sure that he needs to do that I think. In all seriousness, I hope people get...

So, Regarding the credit card companies…. Not trying to argue that they may be the best bet for personal reconciliation; I believe that’s part of what their ~3% seller’s fee covers. But, will they have a right to sue or lien the company if it is determined to have been fraud? Please know...

Feel bad for the fella, but sure am glad I declined to prepay for equipment with a 6-8 month lead time a while ago. I told them I was fine with a deposit or full payment when my piece was next in line, but to require full payment for product that hasn’t cost him a dime yet. That made the...

I had my reply all figured out as I was scrolling through this thread, and then got to Brian’s post here. No need for me to add anything, he 100% hit the nail on the head. Operating width when angled, check. Weight concern, check. Acknowledging the poor recommendation from a sales associate...

When we have a discussion go this sideways in my home, I typically ruffle up the hair on my kids’ heads and say, “Girls, it doesn’t really matter. You’re both pretty.” Oddly, it doesn’t matter if I’m talking to a son or a daughter. They get the point.

Sold that trailer to get a bigger one, so no longer my issue! Plus, we don’t get salted roads here in Oregon. Also, it was a chain on that old one from the early ‘80s. Sold the trailer to another local fella.

I like your stake pocket tire carrier! Nice work. The noses of our trailers are set up similarly, with the same style jacks. When I had mine built, I asked for the spare to be mounted to the front, as I regularly tie down all over the sides and I was afraid the spare would be in my way...

Agree on the bucket position remark above. It’s a very fine line between slack on the pin and not…. Unless the pin is corroded in place, it should slide right out once you have the position perfect. Slide pin out and lightly adjust the loader hydraulically to lift the arms out of their...

We’re off topic, but the guts of the conversation have been picked over pretty well so I’ll join in! While I can appreciate the simplicity of older, more mechanically oriented machinery, I absolutely prefer the way newer vehicles drive, run, and perform. Took me a while to warm up to it, but I...

For only an acre that won’t likely require a huge amount of tractorin’, have you considered a smaller LX with a cab? 2610 if you don’t need a bunch of PTO power, or step up to the 3310 if needed. Mower? I’ve got a little over two acres and mow 1.5 of them regularly. Replaced my big...

Ain’t so bad… It’s January, so order now and have it for the summer.

Oh, wow! That’s twice as long as it was when I ordered mine a couple years ago. Think it was listed as 20 weeks, and it was accurate. If you can order and wait, I believe it’s worth it.

@MtnViewRanch is the man behind Fit Rite Hydraulics. Order early, he’s probably got a good backlog. I did, and couldn’t be happier with my top link.

I have a WoodMaxx with Y-blades and use it for pasture grasses, blackberries, and other small brush. Under about 1.5” brush is gravy and it obliterates everything. In grass, the cut is not as smooth as a finish mower, but much better than a bush hog/rotary cutter. I do not have hammers. I...

For rougher grass and light brush, I’d choose Y-blades. Save the hammers for real brush!
