I have 3 fake owls around the house. The peckers couldn't care less.

Pecker bugs = crabs.

Several carpenter bee traps around my place (log home). I really dislike woodpeckers (and carpenter bees). Actually, killed a carpenter bee just yesterday. They were out again in this warm weather. I got that one in a hole with a spray bottle filled with diluted dish detergent. For the...

I have a 53" medium duty BETSTCO with hammers. I don't have any issue with power unless I'm cutting really high/wet stuff. I just need to slow down a bit when doing so. You can generally run a larger flail (specially with Y blades) if you're cutting reasonable height grass. I would think a 60"...

I looked at Kioti years ago (CK2610 sized). Nice machines but I didn't like the backhoe mount at all. It was basically a frame rail (both sides) that stays attached to the backhoe. So, to store it, you'd need 12 feet of floor space or so. It was nothing like the 4 point connection that Kubota...

Thanks for the reply guys. I think I'll just look into adding another ZT. I have two already but one is a 54" small residential unit and the other a 60" prosumer (or heavy duty residential). I'm picking up a mowing job at neighbors that will be a little over 4 acres (weekly cutting). I think a...

I'm thinking about picking up a rear finish mower for the B2650. Anyone on here using a 6 ft rear discharge RFM behind their B2650/LX2610? Likes/dislikes? My rear wheel width is approx 58" with the spacers, so I'd like to be well beyond them if possible. Alternatively, I may add another ZT...

I just use a large channel lock pliers or oil filter pliers similar to what dustball posted. Do you have a harbor freight near by? either of these will work (from harbor freight), these are what I use. The red handles doyles are simple to use if you make sure that the tip pushes against one of...

OP- they don't have brake lights.

well, I was replying to the comment/question from yesterday, Not the OP's question from 2016.

I'd leave it that way if I were you. Too many people find out the hard way that the swing pins are only good for one thing...breaking the main backhoe casting when they inadvertently hit something with the hoe (with the swing pin in place). ;)

I miss the work big time. The guys were great to work with and we had lots of laughs and some not so funny situations as well. The company was sold and my wife (GM of the company) wasn't interested in working for the new owner. So, I was out too. Yeah, it sucks.

looks almost like log art today....

Did another brush/stump burn yesterday. My good deed for the week consisted of picking up 1 dump truck load of boxes/cardboard and two huge loads of wood debris from our new neighbors to add to my brush fire. They are a young couple that just moved into their first home. One bay of their...

Picked up 2 free tables locally on facebook marketplace. After a good pressure washing and a coat of my favorite outdoor wood preservative (aka ATF) they were transformed into some new range tables. Score! the first one has flip out benches....how fancy is that? Of course they were moved with...

Love it. I was really hoping that the "debates" would use the "Family Feud" format as well. I think they'd be much more entertaining that way (and definitely more informative). :)

I have mixed feelings about them as well. The first one didn't last long at all...the second one has been much better. Ahh, so now they are selling them in a kit with replacement parts???

Yep. Thanks. My neighbor was really grateful. He asked me tonight if he could stop by to drop something off. I told him no. You don't owe me anything. I'd rather it go to him because he'll use it...and not turn around and sell it on facebook. I did tell him that the one thing he could do for...

No sir. That's not what I'm saying at all. I replaced bevel gear components on that machine (2006 BX23) because I had quite a bit of slop in the bevel gear parts and it was starting to leak some axle fluid. You could rock the wheel vertically (like checking ball joints) and feel the...
