    I think I've made my retirement decision....

    Having worked basically full time since I was 14 I retired at 60. Ended up owning a company with over 100 employees and loved work. I had three things I wanted when I finished college (that I paid for). Never wear a tie unless I wanted to, own a company and retire at 60. Mission...

    Alternative to Carbon Tax?

    That law is for new cars…not sure of when the start date is. Manufacturers can now disable most newer vehicles already but there are rules, laws and various legal issues right now. Think OnStar and similar. Most require the vehicle to be stationary.

    Alternative to Carbon Tax?

    They have been trying to get a VMT (vehicle miles traveled) tax for years out here. There are all kinds of ways to “adjust” that to generate money and invade privacy all at the same time. Congestion pricing, speeding/parking fees/tickets, miles traveled, weight classes, annual use fees. They...

    ACRONYM's

    NIMBY…Not in my back yard. BANANA…Build absolutely nothing near anybody. NOPE…Not on planet earth. I used to work for home builders getting developments approved. I heard everything…most can’t be written here.

    You guys should get into telemarketing.

    You are the only other person that I have seen with my exact set up. Works great if you stay on the snow build up. I have 500’ of driveway and if I keep is plowed I never need the tractor. I have the Moose plow and 2006 Arctic Cat with dump rear too! No pic with plow though.

    Learn CPR today...

    I saved my own mom’s life by knowing CPR. Luckily, my wife knows it too…as she was calling out the procedure steps as she was calling 911. I ended up breaking three of my mom’s ribs but that is part of the deal when you are as amped up as I was. Turns out she was having issues with her heart...

    Saw this on Marketplace

    I wonder if the front axle and the parts that fix it to the tractor are still good? That there is what we would call a deal AFTER we took it apart and really could determine the extent of damage unseen. Whatever that deal was would be predicated on knowledge and not some guess.

    L2501 Hydraulic Top / Tilt

    I added the valve block up where I could control from the seat. I plumbed it off of the rear backhoe lines when the are not being used for that. Works fine using aftermarket parts. OP…I sold my once used box blade to a neighbor and have the two new rams and hoses I can make you a deal on if...

    Strange things happen

    This is exactly why having a credit freeze is so important. When we were stolen many years ago the investigator told us to assume ALL of our personal data was public and proceed accordingly. The credit freeze has been the only way to prevent these aholes from actually using YOUR data to their...

    Top N Tilt

    I have aftermarket new TnT kit from my L2800 that I was going to use on a box blade. Never did use any of it and sold the box. If you are interested PM me with your email and I will take some pics and email them to you. I have no use for them nor the hoses so we could work something out if...

    More aggressive stupidity.

    What are we (OK, some of us) becoming????

    Fair enough point! Been here 65 years next week and witnessed a lot of change, mostly bad. Where we are is way out in the sticks so things are still good. The aggressive stupidity of most in this state seems to be spreading though.

    What are we (OK, some of us) becoming????

    I feel bad for you guys. Went with my son to shoot sporting clays today…in a T shirt. Was about 60 and nice day… I have skied in -20 at Whistler so I know what cold is…but that weather you guys have is damn cold!

    DPF and how it works and why it is important

    Very informative video for us that are not that knowledgeable about the new diesels. My old L2800 has none of this tech.
