Nova scotia record low rain in april and may. worst recorded wild fires. weather has been incredibly warm and beautiful. most of my summer work is already done. no blackflies few bugs of anykind. I guess el nino will keep the north east cooler than normal this summer,

We lived in beaver harbor for awhile. and listen to St John radio and the weather is so different. Blacks harbor fog horn was a common event. We hear Digby foghorn maybe 4 times a year.

I have a quick attach 72" snow plow blade HLA I only had to use it a couple of times this winter but it worked great. A snow blower would have been great but I wanted to use the loader deep into the winter as we sometimes do not have snow until late. I needed the backhoe and loader into mid...

thank you for all the responses I will get some pictures of the other side. I wish I knew more when I bought the tractor I cannot imagine a situation where I will take the loader off so should have not gotten the quick tach loader. you are making a good point to remove the loader stand stuff it...

The small bolt that holds the stand arms bent on the loader allowing the arm to drag. I straightened the pin and have the arm up but it is obviously not in the correct position. is the only purpose of the pin to hold up the stand arm? I have been meticulous about maintenance so I am not sure...

I never liked a shovel even when I was 20. The last few times I had to dig holes it took forever. with the amount of rocks we have here digging is no fun at all. Hell I use the BH to plant bulbs now

one .big mistake I made was using the suntuf for the roof . my medal roof guy has a better clear product that would have been much easier to install for 1/2 the price. The suntuf went up wanky and was difficult to install the clear poly from the metal roof guy is much easier to install and looks...

I got my tlb in Jan of 2022. I know there are several people on the site that think a little backhoe is not worthwhile but I have to say that I use mine a lot. In the last week I dug out two spruce stumps transplanted a half dozen trees, planted two new trees, dug 9 bigfoot footing holes for a...

I have HLA forks and they work well . Adjusting the forks is not great but works ok. they are fairly light and will lift more than the tractor without deflection. I use them much more than expected and with a lot of building projects on the go they are on the tractor alot. just this morning...

A couple more things to think about , I do not leave feed anywhere around the coop at night. We attracted all manor of unsavory critters (rats) I feed the hens outside the coop and when they go to bed so does the food. My wife read 101 chicken keeping hacks from the library and she has many...

Here are some pics the 13 hens seem to do all right I intended to have 10 when I built the coop the other thing that worked out pretty well is i used linoleum on the floor and up a couple of inches on the walls of the coop so it is super easy to clean

great idea my top soil is full of rock. So I use a screen and run the spoil over the screen top soil in one pile and rock in another

We have had chickens several times and just got 10 pullets a few weeks ago. we now have 13 hens. I built my coop it is 4x8 with a 4x2 ft nesting boxes accessible from outside. We free ranged our chickens for years but have lost many. I will try to get some pics next time I am out. we raised...

Ha ha ha exactly:ROFLMAO: amazing we can change history. I think W was pres in 08

money suppy + time = inflation

It is way harder than it seems. i had a grapple with a quick connect and purchased the same size for my plow but it would not work the summit was different diameter even though it was the same size I ended up having to go back to the dealer and spending twice as much as the summit for a chinese...

I was losing a hen a day to a coyote I just could not catch in the act so bought this Parmak solar 6 and a few hundred feet of poultry netting and have not lost a hen since.

I read the thread really fast so may have missed it but I ask the dump truck driver to spread the top soil. They can layout a few inches and spread it as they drive forward. Best if the ground is dry or frozen then drag with the loader. just a thought.

I had a massive amount of water running down the hill in front of my tractor shed. enough that I had a foot deep washout in front of the door. I ended up making a ditch and using big 0 to make a culvert. i also dug a curtain ditch across the hill to divert the water into the lower area. Its not...
