    Used bx advise

    You might want to look at what zero interest on a new one costs compared to a used one. It might surprise you how close it is

    New F-350 Powestroke Sticker shock

    Gotta agree with CCR, rental cars are hitting the auctions. I picked up a 1 year old 24K mile car for half price of new. Nice to get rid of the wife's car payment and get into this cheap.

    Upcoming Winter 2017-2018

    Enjoy what's going on now, and prepare for what's coming. I've got 7 cords cut, split and stacked, and just spent the last couple hours stacking the rest of the logs with the Grapple on the Kubota. Now I'm good for a couple years of wood, I might do some next year. If it didn't just start...

    Upcoming Winter 2017-2018

    Here in N. Idaho we set overall high precipitation records for march and April for any year on record. According to some of the old timers the next two winters will be milder, but hold on for 2020! It should set more records than this last winter.

    Burning wood pile with BX25

    As I had a few very large slash piles to burn, and it's been an extremely wet year, I have made some sawdust candles to light off the piles. I've been sawing firewood, so there's plenty of very course saw chunks on the ground. I fill a cardboard box with particles, and mix in some oil and...

    backhoe ripper attachment

    Man, that's got some nasty teeth on it. Should work great on root cutting. Just don't walk into it in the shop, that'll leave a scar!

    Well there's a cow pasture down the road, but the critters might not like it! There's a few too many trees to land a plane

    You would need to have a helicopter to land here, this is the only clearing we have in the trees, but the Hayden Airport is only 15 min away

    Comparing Orange to Green

    I know many auto, truck parts etc are made in Brazil, Mexico all over and sent here, that wouldn't bother me as much as how the fit and feel when they are assembled. I had a body shop, and we used some Chinese sheet metal that was priced so inexpensive, we had to try them. Problem being it took...

    I'm pretty open to anytime, I think we have a trip to Cali planned to visit kids in July sometime, but that's not worked out yet. I've widened the "parking area" between house and shop, and have plenty of room for rv's to park in case anyone wants to enjoy some libations around the fire pit in...

    Comparing Orange to Green

    I was in the market for a SCUT, as I'm only on 5 acres, but it is a heavily tree covered forested area. It is very tight in between the trees, and even with a BX there's a lot of area I cannot access. I was more concerned with the operation of the backhoe and other implements, than being able to...

    Yeah, I hired help to get this done. I quit doing roofs, I have a bad knee that gets aggravated by the sideways work, it's just no fun anymore! As for a OTT meet and BBQ, I'm always open for that. The fire pits stacked,and I know for a fact you can get 22 seats around it. yard games are all on...

    They use a square metal cap that fits over the pole, and has a hand crank cable rig on them. You can lift the roof framework up in one piece, drill and bolt it into the pole on a block, saw off the top of the pole.

    Starting to look sweet, you have gotten me in the mood to add another storage building. I had added a 24'x24' extension to my work shop when we got the place, but I'm squeezing everything in right now. Keep the pics coming

    Very nice! You can never have too much space to keep toys out of the weather. Make sure you add lots of gravel to the floor to raise it well above the surrounding areas.
