    Hydraulic SSQA PHD

    I thought about that, the only issue I have is clearance. I have about 9' of overhead space to work with once my porch is demo'd. If a mini excavator or mini skid loader will work, I could consider that and abuse their equipment instead of mine. For all my projects I'm looking at over the next...

    Baited bear

    Was entertaining to me. I wouldn't worry about the uproar, just a few folks getting triggered because the article was referencing a member of Cheeto man's family and made blanket statements about hunting laws in their states. Carry on!

    How to price a job

    I'd shoot for $100-125/week, have her sign a release of liability waiver for damage and such. To get an EIN and add a schedule C to your personal income tax is a little tedious, but it can be done. You can report your revenue from services (few thousand a year) and deduct your cost of sales...

    Hydraulic SSQA PHD

    Have a big project coming up that will require us to demo our front porch (built like a deck) that also supports a roof overhang. I have had a hell of a time trying to find a decent contractor in Michigan to come and do either: 1. Dig 4 18"x48" footings for 6x6 piers to support roof overhang...

    New LX2610su or 2015 L3301

    Besides brush cutting (shouldn't be a problem if you opt for a smaller unit), the LX should check all the boxes for what you're trying to do. I can't imagine maneuvering an L through my small section of woods where the LX doesn't have as much limitation in. Both machine are fairly large, but the...

    Vaccination opinions wanted...

    I read they stopped back in the 70's because it was considered eradicated in the States. Guess it's time to bring the original or an 'upgraded' version back to combat before things get out of hand. I expect more resistance towards any vaccine moving forward if idiot politicians begin using it...

    Vaccination opinions wanted...

    Our government has been hiding stuff for decades. JFK assassination, Watergate, Iraq invasion, 9/11 attacks, Covid, Panama Papers, Epstein, billions of taxpayer money funnelling to Israel, the list goes on... People are too busy arguing over petty Democrat vs. Republican nonsense to really care...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Added some shackles from Ken's Bolt on Hooks to my bucket hooks and installed Paul and Kathy's exhaust extension for the LX2610

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    You aren't kidding, I can see the slope change significantly by the trees in the first photo. Great work man. Who makes that blade? It looks real stout.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Much appreciated! Yeah I always laugh when I see folks in Michigan stack block over dirt without any prep or fire ring (unless you're building a quick campfire)... Those blocks end up wavy after one season and fall apart from the heat. I figure if I go overkill, this thing may last a while as...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Thanks! I've used it regularly for 2 years now with no issue. The retaining wall blocks sit on an 8" bed of clean limestone with geotextile fabric underneath to prevent them from heaving in the winter. There is a 10 gauge steel ring inside the pit with about a 1" air gap between the blocks and...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Sounds like a lot of work went into that, the hard work definitely paid off. Do you have any old photos of what the road used to look like? I decided to go back outside again a few hours after setting all my smaller wood branches on fire and threw a giant buckthorn stump the previous owner...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Who needs a PTO blower when you can strap a blower with throttle lock on your bucket... Genius!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Used my diesel wheelbarrow to move about 10 buckets full of firewood from the front yard where I processed it from my woods clearing project to the backyard near the fire pit. Now it can dry and the designated neighborhood Karen doesn't report me for blight.

    Thinking about buying a Z422KW-54 zero turn

    +1 on a Ferris for ride comfort. My is600z kaw that I bought pre-pandemic is awesome on my rutted yard. One of these days I'll use the LX to level it all out, but until then, the suspension on the Ferris is a lifesaver.

    Just ordered an exhaust extension from Kathy at Specialty Repairs for my LX2610.

    That's not bad for 8 years of growth - beautiful property you have there.
