    How do you Keep track of maintenance and repairs.

    I have found the best way for me to keep track of repairs, maintenance, and other useful info is with a note book for each machine. The first page is always the make, model, serial #, purchase price, date, dealer, etc. Then as time goes on, I write in all the services, repairs, mods, etc. The...

    T M G products. Does anyone have experience with them.

    I am looking at their ditch bank flail mowers. I know they are a cheaper brand and not up to woods or landpride quality. But am wondering if they are junk, or just a lighter duty machine. No heavy work, just heavy grass on road edges, and pruning my woods roads back in the 90" degree position...

    box blade/snow pusher

    Just watched a u-tube video. This farm was using a box blade as a snow pusher. It had the larger style quick attach on the back of the blade, so it could be connected to their loader. I don't know if it was a factory option or just home made. The only down side I see is there are no skids on it...

    Blue tooth ear buds. Which are best over all for noise reduction, music, and noise cancelling.

    I am looking at getting some ear buds. I want them more for podcasts than music. I am looking at the isotunes free aware, but am wondering how good they really are and if there is something better on the market. It is hard to get honest reviews, as so many are either paid for, or are getting...

    Project Farm engine oil test

    Just watched a new Project Farm video. He tested diesel engine oils. I was amazed Rotella did not do better than it did. I do not really have access to the other brands so I will keep using the "T6" oil. I like the Schaeffers, but do not have a local dealer, and am not sure about buying it from...

    WC88 chipper operation review

    I finally used my chipper, for a total of 5 operational hours over three days. For the most part it went well. The trailer hitch works great for my set up. The chips are more like course sawdust than the chips you would buy at a nursery. I believe this is related to the wood entering the...

    Dozer, found in concrete

    Found this on facebook. It is/was in the Kootenays dam in B.C. Canada. Supposedly it got stuck and was too much work to get out. The tracks are on backwards to give it better traction when backing up. It's on the "lost kootenays" facebook site.

    woodland mills wc88 chipper assembly review

    Hello All I just completed the purchase/assembly process of my chipper. So here are my thoughts. The reasons I went with woodland are, they are the only ones to offer a trailer hitch they are the only ones to have the safety bar below the chute, so it is easy to hit in an emergency. It is...

    Grand L tool boxes

    I made these over a month ago and they seem to be working out quite well. I started with 30 cal ammo boxes, then removed the lids and trimmed off the excess bits. I used 3/16 x 2 inch flat bar for the left side ( the first one I made) and 1/8 x 1 1/2 (it's what I had on hand) for the right one...

    Lube on wheel stud/bolt threads.

    I personally use a a small amount of coppercoat anti seize on wheel studs/bolts when installing wheels. I have never had a damaged wheel from one coming loose but have lost studs, nuts, bolts from seized threads that were put on dry. I also check my torque after installing wheels.

    Front bumper chain box

    Some one else made one for a different series, which gave me the idea for this one. It seems to work well. I am concerned about damaging the paint on the nose of the grill but will just need to be carful. The cut outs in the corners and the holes in the middle should kept the dirt from building...

    Grand L travel mug.

    I finally found a mug that fits the cup holder. It is a "Bubba" from Canadian Tire. It holds one US quart or 950ml. It works well, stays in place but is still easy to pull out.
