    I just bought my first tractor!

    Take a look at this HF grease gun. It is well built and works really well. It normally sells for $139 without the battery and charger, but they frequently have a sale where you can buy a battery and charger for $99 and get a free tool. This grease gun is one of the free tools you can choose...

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    So can you explain how to add a fourth remote to my machine?

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    Yes, that’s the blade I have in 8’ length and I do like it. It would require modification to offset in both directions. I’m just happy to have a heavy blade that does offset. Your new blade looks great and I’m sure your modifications will make it work as you wish.

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    My offset cylinder is on the left side and shifts the blade to the right. I have a similar situation as you with a drop off on the left side but not quite as steep. What I do is offset to push snow to the right hand ditch going downhill and push into the left hand ditch (with drop off) going...

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    I guess there are some people with those needs; for the 2300’ of road I maintain, going down one side, then up the other is most efficient.

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    I I guess I can’t see the need to offset on both sides. Mine is currently set up to offset to the right. I work the ditches on the right and then just reverse travel direction to do the other side of the road.

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    I had issues with my blade not raising high enough. Then I discovered that the lift arms have two holes for the lifting link. I moved the lift link attachment to the lower holes and now the blade lifts plenty high enough even before I added the hydraulic top link.

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    Currently I’m just adding hydraulic angle because I have top and tilt on the tractor and only three remotes. You’re correct about the process to reverse the blade. Just pull the angle cylinder pin and reverse, then reattach. The Bison angle cylinder, hose, and connectors cost $321 including tax...

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    I bought my Bison blade in January 2022 for $2700 new. But it had no hydraulics. I’m adding that now.

    Where to buy driveway gates compatible with electric openers?

    Very good point. And as you can see from my photo, there was considerable digging to open my gate. If we are expecting deep snow, I’ll offer just lock the gate open.

    Where to buy driveway gates compatible with electric openers?

    I forgot to mention that my gate opener is the patriot brand. I’ve gone through 2 AGM batteries in twelve years and blown a few fuses. Other than that, it keeps working.

    grapple.. and stump bucket question for L2502

    Stump bucket is a sure fire way to wreck your loader. Tractor loaders aren’t really good at being tweaked or twisted. To pull posts, I do it in a safer way to avoid loader damage. I back up to the post and attach the chain to a rear blade while it’s on the ground next to the post. Then just lift...

    I could really use this Buhler/Farm King 8ft hydraulic angle rear blade.

    You will love that blade. It’s very similar in weight and features to the Bison that I have.

    Where to buy driveway gates compatible with electric openers?

    I had a friend of mine who does custom fabrication build my entire gate and opener system. The gate is 16’ wide, heavy, and swings freely without sagging. He used over 10 80 pound bags of concrete to anchor the posts and swing panels. The post pipes are 5” diameter and the gate frame is the...
