    I'm confident I have Gelled Fuel

    Thanks @MapleLeafFarmer and @armylifer ….so far machine has started and ran fine. I was sort of surprised though as I treat fuel year around…and if I got a bad batch it f supplement, couldn’t that happen with the white bottle as well? (I’ve used that previously but last few years it ve been...

    I'm confident I have Gelled Fuel

    I treat all my fuel at the gas station in the Jerry can at fill up time. I use Hotshots EDC+winterizer (all in one very full up as I don’t really turnover much fuel annually. 1.5 weeks ago we had a deep freeze and heavy snowstorm here. Anyway, while refueling (I use an electric transfer pump...

    Buying advice and pricing :)

    Good day. Congratulations on the additional acreage!👍 I think you got pretty solid advice above, so I don’t have much to add. For what planning I would go with whichever machine weighs more (assuming all in similar running condition). only thing I would add regarding the house and varmints is...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    It’s not a great picture as far as photo quality, but Sam flew overhead and landed in a tree on my way home and I did the best could…

    Happy Block Heater Day!

    Well I am a very flawed individual and I am not taking the bait today to respond directly. It’s usually pretty clear when someone is off their meds (or a new dosage) and not sure what they are able to process. that being said, this is an important enough topic, at least it’s in my manual...

    Anyone enjoying consecutive days and nights of too cold weather?

    Amen…at least when ice is on it takes more talent for the shooting’ irons to sink is boating accident😉. not sure you follow ice coverage or not, but I pay attention as our other place up north in the snow belt just off the lake and we get pounded until the lake freezes over. Anyway maybe link...

    L2502 vs L3302 vs ? HP or Skill Issues?

    Good day. For what you are planning to do with hobby farm / greenhouse operation, I’d recommend try to determine you likely scope of work: 1. Will you be transporting, lifting, hauling pallets of materials / supplies? How much will the pallets weigh? (It’s very common for a pallet full of...

    Inverted Snowblower Good, Bad, Ugly

    Yep…actually I had a keep rewinding to rewatch because I kept watching (mesmerized) the plumes of snow (that thing was awesome) and in watching the snow I missed a lot of wheel slippage and some of the technique where she (operator) was trimming the implement.

    Inverted Snowblower Good, Bad, Ugly

    Couple things jump out at me… 1. That guy married up…you go girl! 2. Traction and weight very important 3. That style seems like there is maybe a learning curve to determine depth vs how low to drop implement. 4. Cabs are awesome. 5. Why not lower bucket to push deep stuff out of way? Not...

    Grapple University

    Good day. For what’s it’s worth (my opinion and $.75 gets you cheap vending machine coffee😉). I stand by my previous post and the linked thread post I included in one of posts. I have that exact grapple and use with my B. It’s great. Serrated edges would be nice, but it works great with a B...

    Neglected L4760 Grand

    I think for situations like this take advice from David Puddy 🎱 . Wide cracks aside.. It’s hard to say what the actual wear is…none of us on hear know really I think from a longevity point of view. It seems reasonable it’s a wild card though. personally I think you have to think about Risk /...

    Happy Block Heater Day!

    This summer my buddy picked up his first tractor ever, a really clean L3302 (used) and opted not to have a bloc heater installed in on the deal. I was not able to convince him🙄. I did convince to treat fuel though. Today, driveway drifted over, and it was his first no start.😥 I’ve had one on...

    OK this morning I figured out I am officially OLD

    It’s slang…means they are looking enough to eat but can’t reach/not long enough to reach the wallet (means can’t reach around to wallet / don’t want to pay)

    snow plowing pics

    We lost the two unwrapped hives end of the year (well we lost one and combined a weak one in the one on the end)…so we only wrapped the one. My bet is they don’t care much for our weather. It’s been cold here and no sign in foreseeable forecast to get above freezing much less 50 for cleansing...

    snow plowing pics

    I keep a set of Katoohlas in the truck…we get our share of ice and if any question I put em on. as far as pics from the snow plowing…I don’t have much to show for but cleared drive, my private security team, and my girls…

    Inverted Snowblower Good, Bad, Ugly

    Thanks…I think this is one of threads I read on the subject recently that i thought had some good considerations and videos https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/inverted-snow-blower.455975/ I feel sort of dirty sharing that link on this site like I’ve been caught cheating on my best girl. 😉

    Inverted Snowblower Good, Bad, Ugly

    Happy Snowmaggedon! Are you the same @airbiscuit on TBN? (I am not a member there, just a lurker) I think I saw a couple of your videos posted there on this subject(maybe a few years back - great thread) if that’s you, thanks for posting those over there 👍 🥃

    OK this morning I figured out I am officially OLD

    @skeets good day and Happy snowmaggedon! I hope you are yours are warm and safe. I am not sure the criteria for ‘long in the tooth’…but my reference base is that I am still fairly self sufficient, but I do require supervision and instruction from my SO for most tasks whether I realize it or...

    Do you suppose he removed the heavy duty packaging staples so as not to scratch the driveway?

    Inverted Snowblower Good, Bad, Ugly

    I’m starting to think about something for MX and really torn between the two styles. If plan to keep up with the snow and machine heavy enough to keep traction, inverted seems like a good choice. This is an interesting video…
