Unleaded 88 is a blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline that burns cleaner and has higher octane. It’s approved for all cars 2001 and newer.

A land plane (grader blade) works great to level larger areas of soil or long driveways. We use one with scarifiers along with box blade and back blade to maintain a 1/2 mile gravel drive.

With some practice, you often don't have to get off tractor to grab a log and go. Saves time when moving lots of wood.

We have used tongs with a boom pole for years - no problems. Make sure the logs you drag will not hit your PTO shaft.

We purchased one just like that last year. Chain or strap it to your fork frame. If you are the one on the platform, you must have great trust in the tractor operator to keep movements smooth and level going both up and down. We put the end with the chains (as shown in the photo) towards the...

Your fabrication skills look great. Best way to prevent corrosion on steel parts is 95% cleaning and prepping everything - especially the welded areas. Primer and tractor / implement paint, or a polyester based powder coating will keep it looking good for years.

If you love it and want it welded, that really should be done BEFORE painting the components.

When we installed a 9000 lb Rotary symmetrical two post, the 4 inch 5000 psi was probably "good enough", but went a bit over-kill to make it "WAY more than enough". Cut out two 4 ft squares, removed over 12 inches of soil, used two layers of mesh, #6 bars, L-Bolts for the lift posts and 5000 psi...

Thanks for the reply. They buy / sell new and used attachments / used equipment as a side business to their excavating and trucking. The friend that asked me about the price on the LX2610 tractor has purchased a mini excavator from them a few years ago, so he has done business with them before...

Looking at a 2022 LX2610 for a friend. Only has 46 hours - looks like new. QA loader, 60 inch mid-mount mower, HST, R4 tires. $23,500. Sounds like a great price to me, but before I recommend he buy it, I was wondering if anyone here would agree on that price. I bought a 2019 L2501 with 70 hours...

Our local United Refinery Company station (Kwik Fill) has been selling ethanal free for $3.49, it is the same price as regular E10 at all 4 stations in town. Citgo across the street is 30 or 40 cents more per gallon for ethanol free.

I see the area that looks torn / cracked in the photo now. Hard to tell with the dead leaves and dirt, but will need welded if it is. Yes, the mower will need to be held by something to prevent moving, and heating with a torch set in correct place(s) would definitely reduce the force required to...

That 3 point frame can moved back into correct position with the 3 foot pipe wrench and cheater pipe. I have done the same repair on a three point box blade. Just use a long enough pipe to go over the whole wrench handle - not just at the end - to avoid breaking the wrench.

A 3 foot pipe wrench and cheater pipe should twist that back into the correct position. Just need to block the mower so it wont slide. It's surprising what you can bend with a tool that size. A steel Harbor Break 3 foot is $25, but well worth every penny even if you only need to use it once.

I have used RM43 concentrate for years. It is 43.7% glyphosate and claims up to 1 year of vegetation control. You wont see results overnight, it takes a few days to work. RM18 is fast acting, but is only 18% glyphosate, and no claim for length of time preventing new growth. Prices have gone...

As cthomas said, start with a small bit and work up to the size you need. Using good bits that are made for drilling steel (135 degree angle HHS), cutting oil, and a good drill motor - should not be a problem - cost of good drill bits and new power drill will be way less than paying someone else...

Yes, they are sourced from off shore to Aya specifications, and they are very well made. Otherwise I would not have installed and just sent them back to Amazon. I like to support USA made products, but being retired, I have to make cost effective purchases. In this case, and as I posted...

Years ago my wife was driving us home after a long day of travailing, and probably not paying her best attention on a dark curvy road. I spotted half a dozen deer starting to cross the road in front us and loudly said "deer deer! deer!!" She yelled "What!!!!" - before she saw them. Fortunately...

Online banks are now offering up to 4.25% on savings accounts. If you have the money now, and can't get any deal by paying cash for a new Kubota, you could just put the money into savings and have it available to pay off the equipment anytime if you need to.

With the way things are going now you probably wont do any better by waiting until fall. You can get KTAC insurance when buying it new. It looks like they have the cost of the financing built into the prices now and I don't think they cut any deals, even for cash.
