Picking up a log may have been the last thing it did, but suspect raking with the lid had something to do with that. If not, just a design that relied too much on a bad weld.

Before you go to the trouble to do that, probably worth checking the length of the tube on your truck’s hitch you’re sliding the mount into. Good chance when you’re pushing the mount in way further than usual it’s going all the way out the back of the tube and whatever part of the mount is past...

I thought molten beeswax burns were the worst. As soon as it hits your skin, it coats you and sticks as it solidifies enough to prevent wiping off but not solid enough to peel off, effectively preventing removal while it burns you until it’s cooled at which point you can peel it off in a sheet...

Easiest option would probably be your local Kubota dealer. If you get caught in the blackout caused by Kubota’s system changeover or otherwise want/need to source elsewhere, that rod end is called a Heim joint. They come in both male and female configurations. You just have to figure out what...

I remember when the most recent run came out. A bunch of people kept them because they figured they wouldn’t last long so they’d be rare and valuable. They’re worth $2.00 because so many people kept them they aren’t particularly rare. Kind of like if your ancestors were around when the CSA was...

We use both yellow tyvek signs and purple paint. The yellow signs are easier to see (and harder to not see). Being plainly written, their message is undeniably clear, even for our newer urban transplant type neighbors who are quite likely to not know what the purple paint means. The purple...

I think it’s PDiddy’s cronies and party buddies creating a distraction. So far as shooting one down, it would be tempting, but clearly illegal.

That reminded me of the last time interviewed for a job. It was for an internal promotion to my first management position. Had a lengthy interview with a regional manager, second moderately long interview with the department VP, and finally a half day interview jointly with both of them. I’d...

Got 2” of rain a few days ago. That knocked down pretty much all the remaining leaves except the ones that hang on until spring but it made everything too wet to do anything about it so spent a few hours doing the bulk of the work for a European mount of the buck that got a little too close to...

I’m aware you stated you use your Long 470 as a “dozer” but am assuming that’s a bit of hyperbole to describe hard use as it’s pretty clear a Long 470 isn’t a bulldozer. If you need a dozer… others have covered that thoroughly. You didn’t say what size winch you have. I have a Farmi W50R on a...

As best I can recall from similar threads, the only folks that seem to have a real problem are tall people with little tractors; say 6’6” men with a BX. Maybe the people that REALLY hate it don’t buy Kubota. 🤷‍♂️ I liked it on my L4701 (yes, I have stood up many times without going on an...

I know the hardware/lumber stores are like any other retailer and pretty much have to stock stuff that generates enough revenue to pay for the floor space it takes up, but like many others I miss having some oddball thing to fix or fabricate and going to the hardware store to either just pick up...

Holding the 3 point down with a chain from the drawbar to the top of the trailer mover or whatever implement the hitch is on would hold it down. Been done by more than a few folks. Of course you could use the drawbar to hitch to the trailer since that’s what it’s there for. So far as raising...

Six…

Don’t know what kind of hitch you’re using but if it’s something such as a clevis or pintle that won’t pop off if at too much of an angle (like a ball hitch can), maybe consider when unloading raise the 3 point full up. Not exactly a self unloading dump trailer but load comes out easier and...

Thinking this whole thing is a long running joke. I suppose it is humorous on some level. Clearly not serious on any level.

My winch and what has become my standard kit is mostly pictured above: two 15k tree saver straps hung on the left peg, two cheap (Tractor Supply) 20k snatch blocks and two 22k shackles on the right peg, the two chokers that came with the winch and a couple plastic wedges in the pockets on each...

Sat out in the permanent box blind with my adult son. First day of rifle/shotgun season here. Put him on the side where the deer usually come in about 30 yards out, moving from south to north most evenings. The usual herd of 8 to 12 does and associated immature offspring showed up on my side...
