I use both sand and pellet stove ashes on the packed down snow/ice. Can still get sand by the bucket from the town barn. Woodstove ashes were much better - all I used for years. Coal ashes might be better yet. Helps with grit, and also the ashes are dark colored, which helps absorb the sun's...

I'm with the other guys. Been using a snowblower on gravel for 15 years. At first, run as high as it will go - probably 1.5" or more. Also try not to run it until we get a decent snowfall, especially early on. After a few times, it gets packed down and you drop it down to 3/4" or less.

Daren - Looked at your pictures again, and it looks like they are healing over. That can make the damage look "bigger" as the tree grows over the splits. Can't tell the species from the photos (and not sure what you have in your area), but around here Red Oaks are very hearty trees. I...

Here up north, we can get frost cracks. On a clear, sunny winter day, the south side of a tree can get warmed up enough for sap to run. Then if it freezes real hard and fast at night, the expansion of the freeze can cause the tree to split. Can make a hell of a noise. The tree will...

Looks great! Good for you to take it on. I can see our guys adding more details to attach to your flowchart (maybe with photos) for BX, B, L, etc. tractors. "If you think its a safety switch for B, and want to see where they are" CLICK HERE As you say, so often its the same issue, and...

I second toothbar and hooks - first 2 things I got. A box scraper would also be nice! I moved a lot of stuff with mine last spring, and probably will repeat this fall grading the driveway.

I started pellet stove a couple weeks ago. Been on and off since. Burned 6.5 tons of pellets last winter. Usual is 5. Just had fuel tank topped off - only used 14 gallons of fuel oil last season.:D Pellet stove has paid for itself every year I've owned it.:D

I have the BX2750D, and assembled/installed it myself. No sweat. I bought the electric chute rotator for $300 or $350. Never put it on. Opened the box, closed it back up, and put it on the shelf. I really didn't like the looks of it, even in the box. Thought I'd trade it for the hydraulic...

Made a simple light bar last fall for winter ops. Took a little beatin' this summer mowing. Lights still work, so I'm ready for raccoon season!! Really - just a little realignment, and we're good to go!!:D

Had same issue with same tire on my BX2360.

Welcome, Bill! My wife and I spent a few days in and around Lake George last month. I spent a summer in Warrensburg many years ago as a student at the College of Environmental Science & Forestry. Hadn't been back since, and I really enjoyed it up there!

Sorry, fellas. I lied T-bones. Not porterhouse. I think we can deal with it.....

3 of my favorites - send the leftovers here!:)

Put that 'bota in high range, and we'll see you a week from next Monday!!:D

Don't know the source, but "Sometimes its better to be lucky than good." A 'chuck is a small target. 150-200 yards is often a gimme. 300 not so much, and each +50 yards is big beyond 300. That year, I did several 500 yarders. Tough to get 600+ yards in upstate NY. The topography doesn't...

I liked it! Quite a hitch for a small tractor. Just be careful.;) A friend wanted to sell some sawlogs at the road. Decent hard maple, and big. He has a JD 2010 WFE - a nice, older farm tractor that's not too big. Probably mid '60s or so. He said there is no way it could haul the logs to...

Grills were invented so men could cook outdoors and MAYBE have an adult beverage (or 2).:D Labor Day weekend means cookouts here! Roasting a split turkey on the grill today. Split it with my reciprocating saw and (new) demolition blade. DO NOT EVER use a Stihl 046 Magnum chainsaw for...

So true. I always wanted a 1911. But some 1911's and so many semi's are not "handy" for a leftie. This one is a Springfield XDS .45 ACP. Not great for a leftie - slide release on wrong side. Probably one of the smaller .45's you'll find, and it had good reviews. Never had a gun made in...

Wow - never saw anyone shoot that way! Must be a challenge, but it obviously worked for you! Someone remarked about always wearing out the right glove first. I worked my way through high school and college in restaurants cooking. I don't know how many times I had my right hand stitched up...

I use a fishing pole rightie. Finally bought one that could swap sides years ago - and couldn't use it!:rolleyes: Never owned a left handed long gun, and have gotten many, many woodchucks with a right-handed Remington Model 700 Varmint Special in .22-250. Odd thing - bread ties are a...
