    Be careful out there !!

    Would you like to explain your philosophy a bit more to the family of this little girl? They were out for a walk on a trail some distance from their house when the child was bitten! If the snake is way out in the middle of nowhere, then fine. Leave it alone. But if a lethal snake is...

    New Grease Gun On The Way.

    Lock'nLube sells several different models of grease guns - so which model did you get? After a lifetime of fighting my old grease guns and the mess they make I invested in a LocknLube "Easy Prime" gun not long ago. Expensive, but to me, worth it. Easy to load, easy to use and no mess - no...

    Can't help you if you are trying to do this using a phone. But it is simple if you are using a Windows computer. Open the photo with Paint (part of every Windows computer I've ever used). Click on the "Resize" button. In the window that opens up, click on "Pixels". Then make the largest...

    Small displacement motorcycles

    I ride your XT250's older brother, the XT225. Actually, I'm on my second one; my first was a 1992 model that I put thousands of miles on. Then I came across this 2007 with only 149 miles on it - guy bought it for his wife but she refused to have anything to do with it - so I bought it and now...

    Kubota L6060 steering wheel upside down

    That's the way my M7060 works also. Hydrostatic steering - there is no mechanical connection between the front wheels and the steering wheel. Every time I drive it the steering wheel is in a different orientation..

    Problem with using 4wd all the time?

    My Kubota works the same way. Touch the brake and it is instantly in 4wd to help stop the tractor.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Lifted off 4 pallets of pellets and put them under cover for the winter. Glad I still had the mower on the back...as it was, had to engage 4x4 to be able to back up!

    How to Tell?

    I keep a big 'ol sagebrush growing near the house for just that very reason. Forecast for 1-2 feet of fresh snow in the Nevada mountains over the next few days, including the Memorial Day weekend, per the evening newscast. Ski areas in the Sierras have announced they will remain open through...

    How to Tell?

    Just came back from a week riding the canyons in southern Utah. 90 degrees during the day. But once I got back into Nevada this past weekend it was blizzard conditions for 150 miles. Windshield wipers couldn't keep up with the snow and ice. It has snowed every day since I got back.

    2WD with loader?

    I've found that when I pick up a full bucket of heavy material with my 2wd tractor - and the ground is a bit soft - then I have problems backing up. The front tires sink in the soft stuff and not enough weight/traction on the rear tires to pull the tractor backwards. It is really pronounced...

    Kolpin Handy Throttle

    I'm in my 70s and been a dirt bike rider all my life so when I finally got a quad (still have a dirt bike!) it was tough getting used to the thumb throttle. Then that darn thumb throttle got me in a wreck! I was up high on the side of a mountain, trying to turn around at the end of a dead-end...

    Damn Dodge

    You forgot one thing - and some states are already doing this. If they can't get gas taxes from you, they will collect mileage tax. Your electric car will have a GPS tracker on it and the state will send you a bill according to how many miles you drove in that time period. And the bureaucrats...
