I'll give it a try. I believe the pin spring is very strong. Unless I'm doing it wrong, I need to reach through the 3 point hook up, get the tip of a finger on the pin and depress. Not an easy task. Then, wrestle the PTO Shaft on or off. I sound like a wimp but its a fight every time (...

I did a search and came up dry. My hand strength is not what it once was. Attaching and detaching the PTO shaft on my Landpride Brushhog is a challenge. It has the little pin you must push and, gosh darn it, it's hard to do. I see some aftermarket connectors going for about $400. Is there...

It's been hot here in the Hartland. Temps around 98-100 for the 10 days or so. I've been planning a driveway and have finally found time to do the prepwork. Drainage around my building was less than optimal. The building is 25 years old and things have settled over the years. I used the...

Good luck on the rehab. Tons of really helpful ( and smart ) people on this board. Take advantage of the " been there, done that " crowd. Pictures are always nice.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I put my name on the list and should have a availability in the next 2-3 weeks. I better get going on the prep work!

Here in Eastern MO, we've had a sold 7"+ of rain in the 20 days or so. Some torrential downpours. As a result, my gravel drive ( which I'm planning for an upgrade ) has eroded with a 8" wide / 8" deep gully forming through it at the most sloped area. I'll need to do some grading / water...

Thank you for posting the pics Sleddog. That is a fine driveway.

It will be relatively level from right to left but will need to ascend a pretty decent hill. I like the idea of less work and a higher road may help my drainage challenge. I'll get some pictures to help with the discussion. I really appreciate the feedback before I start going after it.

Nice work there Sleddog. May I ask what steps you took between the staked out plan to the finished project? Thanks

Hi Folks, I'm still in the planning phase. My plan is to act in the July / August time frame when we typically have hot, dry conditions. We've had rain for 7 consecutive days ( 4+ inches ) and it's exposing some drainage considerations. When it really pours, I'll have a flow which will cut...

Thanks for the feedback Gentlemen. I was looking for a DYI project but perhaps opening the checkbook is the answer.

HI Folks, I know there is another driveway thread going but I didn't want o hijack it with my own issues. As summer approaches, I'm looking for the easiest, most cost effective way to gravel the below outline. The photo has Noth to the top. It's about 300' East to West and 75' deep on the...

Dang. I thought I did a pretty good search. FB Marketplace seems to skip things for me when searching. Probably operator error but I never found those. Clearly better for the job. Now, do I eat the $100?

Update: I purchased an 11' long 16" in diameter galvanized culvert for $100 off Facebook. While a little tight, an 8' crossing will do fine for my mower, tractor, ATV and the occasional pickup. My runoff collection area is more like 2 acres per google earth. My simpleton math is as...

Thanks for the tip. There are many places around these parts where a Missouri Crossing would be a good solution. I'm in Black Dirt country and don't have a rock on the place.

Lots of great feedback. This Forum is awesome as I'm a big believer in learning from the mistakes of others, not that any of you have ever made one. Lord knows I make plenty. I'll be on the lookout for some old culvert pipes and try to calculate just how much culvert I need. Looks like a...

I'll need to span 10-12' to stay on terra firma. I'm not sure of the flow as it depends on the rainfall. It will only flow when it rains enough for the hayfield to provide runoff. We get our fair share of TStorms so I expect it to be a regular occurance. I have a tooth bar on my FEL. Can I...

Hello All, I have a farm road / trail that provides access to the South end of my property. It crosses a wet weather creek which is really a just drainage ditch from the hay field but it drains 4-5 acres and will flow when we get and significant rainfall. The soil in my parts is pretty much...

Thanks. Good info.

Looking real hard at a Quick Hitch. I was wondering if anyone knows if I'll need an extention to connect my Land Pride Rotory Mower. Thanks, LB
