    Grease Gun Coupler

    I'm having a devil of a time getting grease into the zerks. No matter hard I push into the zerk, or adjust the angle of the coupling-tip, after it snaps on, most grease squirts outside the zerk. Any coupler advise as to brand or type would be appreciated. I'm using a Lube Shuttle pistol grip...

    To Plow or not To Plow

    I have a long driveway in the forest. In a couple spots, one 30 yards long and the other about 100 yards long, it's moderatly sloped. I get the best traction on the sloped areas in unplowed snow. Snow is about 7 to 8" deep now and my SuperDuty is tall and glides over it with it no problem...

    Grapple. Wins and Losses

    So, I got a grapple with my latest Kubota. I wasted money. Because I also got forks. I had never owned a grapple on a tractor prior. But, I've found that there isn't too much a grapple can do more than forks and the standard bucket. I'm glad to have the 3rd function for my future snow...
