Shaun, This no till method is very interesting. I did a little reading on it to gain some understanding and it is basically how I have grown my berries for years. I dig a hole in the ground, planted the plant, and kept the grass trimmed around them. I could see this benefiting me in many...

Haha that came out all wrong :p

That thought has crossed my mind and my wife laughed at me when I mentioned that to her :confused:. They would be very handy to clear a hill side that has grown in on one property and the over grown land on the mountain. It's too steep to use a tractor and is dangerous to get out there with a...

Thanks for sharing some ideas for reading material. In my eyes gardening and farming is a science with many different ways to do it, that's my whole reason for starting this discussion. I'm a strong believer in old school methods and love to learn as many of them as I can. Within both...

Thanks Shaun, I've never hear of no till farming so I'll do some research on that. In the past year I've been saving money, measuring, and calculating how many acres would need to be planted to pay for the initial cost and to turn a profit. The least I would need to start with is 4 acres and...

Hey guys, Im sorry if I confused everyone. I'm basically trying to start a conversation about what everyone uses to turn grass into plantable soil, and also briar filled land into cultivated soil. This isn't a project I'm looking to start ASAP I'm just in the planning stage. I'm looking...

Hello Everyone, I am looking to get some input on everyone's methods of cultivating sod into plantable soil for a large area. I know there are a lot of different attachments out there and everyone has their own way of doing it, so please share. Let everyone know what you're using for...

If you attached a loader to the existing hydraulics on the 7100D it would work, but it would be very slow and most likely underpowered. I believe I've read (but I may be wrong) that the newer HST models came with a higher flow pump than the D model. If you don't already have a loader it may...

I was able to mount and plumb the spool valve in today, fired it up, and it works great! :D The chute spun slower than my math calculated it to spin at....and I am very curious why....but I actually like it the way it is. All this time I was afraid it would move too quickly, at least this way...

Well I finally made some progress on this project today. I hit a big bump in the road while trying to find a way to support the drive shaft vertically. After scratching my head and thinking about it over a few beers I found a way. The bolt pattern in this gear reducer has a 2 7/8" square bolt...

Anyone out there own a old b205 dozer blade and mounted new skid shoes to the original posts? If so what did you use? There are a few options to go with but most less expensive options will need some fabrication which I'm trying to avoid. I would like to keep it looking as stock as possible. :D

The Germans are more advanced than us in the heating industry and always have been. Under their European website Viesmann is the first to develop a hydrogen fuel cell boiler, that is amazing to me. If you read the above brochure, you will notice a few pictures of their style of radiator wall...

For the guys out there that like to drag wood around with their tractor, burn pellets, or bio mass, check out the link below. Open the link, go to the bottom of the page under product info, and check out the .pdf brochure. Viesmann is a German company that has set standards in this industry...

Skeets, Your absolutely right about people taking heating for granted. Most people in the northern states don't realize that we use our heating system 6 months out of the year. These new boilers are whisper quiet compared to the old jet engines that rattle the China cabinet! Typically you...

Free wood is always tough to beat. A guy I work with has a big home with a barn in Vermont. He heats the entire property with a outdoor wood boiler and even heats his in-ground pool with it during the summer. I think most guys prefer the wood because it gives them something to do to get away...

Re: Tis the Season. Here is a picture of what a typical wall hung unit looks like Here is a picture of the different ways they can be vented This is a piping diagram of a primary and secondary loop system. You can see where there are two loops tied together and is injected by the boiler...

Chill is in the air and the heating systems are starting to fire up. For me, this is the time when people are calling to have a new heating system installed. I always say to myself... "Where were you in July?" I'm always on here asking stupid questions about my little tractor so I figured I...

Darren, Your absolutely right but I have a very interesting little cape house... I actually have 2 fireplaces, one in the basement, one in the living room, with a central chimney. My first floor is my main living area and is only 1000 sq ft. It used to be my grandparents home and it had an...

Last week I flushed and purged my radiator wall panel and cleaned out the intake in my boiler. It's a Weil McLain Ultra that is 5 years old now and hasn't given me one problem. I have it programmed to fluctuate its water tempature depending on the outside temp. It heats up the house fast with...

My father has a set of factory kubota telescoping stabilizers on his 2910 that I'm assuming came with his backhoe attachment. Hodge's stabilizers are built as well if not better than kubota's set. I've never priced out a kit (I'm sure they only make for select models), but I would not be...
