    Real (stupid) oil question

    I was changing the oil on my diesel truck last week and noticed (for the first time) that the bottle states "15 years or 500,000 miles guaranteed". I realize that you should change the oil more that one time--assuming you keep it for 500,000. But should I change it at about 10,000 miles (when...

    Tree root question

    I have some large trees in the from yard. They have roots that are 2-4 inches above ground level which makes mowing impossible around them close to the trunk. I have a stump removal guy set up to take out a stump from a fallen tree. My question is can I have him shave the roots off? Will it...

    Wiring help

    OK. I just ran LED lights on the tractor roof. I have it run to the back passenger side tail light. Can someone please tell me the positive and negative hook up so that I can use the light switch. I have confirmed that before I cut the wires, the red tail light came on when I turned the lights on.

    Sprayer Pattern

    I bought a boomless sprayer last year. First sprayer for me, so still learning. I have been using the hand wand regularly since getting it. This weekend I used the boomless sprayers for the first time. Was shooting for Saturday but the winds were steady at about 20 mph. Sunday was perfect...

    Pressure Washer question

    I am trying to pressure wash a dock. It is too far from my house to run a hose but I have plenty of access to water via the pond. Has anyone used a pump from a water supply to feed a pressure washer? If so, can you tell me what size (HP) needed to get enough water to the pressure washer. BTW...

    P2P Extender Question

    As you know I recently received my Starling and I'm LOVING it. Here is my issue. I have a gate about 700 feet from the house that has a Ring and a WiFi gate opener. With my current EERO setup I get very weak service at the gate, as it is connecting to a EERO about 700 feet away in the house...

    Trailer Size?

    Okay. I have a L4400 with FEL. I am trying to decide what size trailer would allow me to haul that with the 6 foot bush attached. Maybe some of you out there have some advice to this setup. Thanks, Aaron

    Cleaning sprayer/PTO pump

    What does everyone use to clean the sprayer and in particular the PTO pump after use? I have the cast iron one (can't find the 'silver' one anywhere) and am paranoid about this pump since everyone seems to say that round up will eat it up (quickly) if not cleaned properly. I watched a couple...

    Three point extension?

    Okay guys. I got a sprayer today. Unloaded it with the forks put the quick hitch adapters on backed up to hook it up and….. it’s about 4 inches too narrow! Is there something I can buy to make the bottom two connections wider to accommodate the quick hitch without welding? I know I can’t be...

    Ford Bronco questions

    My wife has been driving an FJ Cruiser since we bought it new in 2009. It is really getting up there in mileage--even for a Toyota, but still no problems whatsoever. In March I put an order in for a Bronco thinking it would never be built as the dealer told me he has folks waiting since early...

    Starlink Question

    Soooo, it looks like I may finally be getting close to my order being filled--just in time for the price hike. Here is my question. I'm in Alabama and from what I understand from reading, the vast majority of the satellites are either directly above me or to my north. The app backs this...

    I currently have five EEROs at the house. They cover the house without an issue. The problem I have is my gate is about 500-600 feet from the house. Although I do get a usable signal to the the gate for the opener and Ring doorbell, I would like to improve upon that to make it more reliable...

    County Line Tiller....

    For the past three years my wife has used a walk (run/drag) behind tiller. Her neck has gotten to the point of needing a second surgery and I feel that this will be too much for her this spring. So I have decided to get a 3pt attachment. The best price I can find on a tiller is a County Line...
