Had a little wind yesterday. Not much, but enough to topple an aging out Virginia Pine. It was hanging over one of our trails and we have guests coming tomorrow so needed to get it at least cleaned up enough to clear the trail today despite ground still being covered by snow on top of a sheet of...

The diesel transfer tank my brother gave me recently is an old Vevor 58 gallon without the optional filter. Not as nice as the John Dow I had ordered but the price difference, $1068.00 v $0.00, made the Vevor more attractive. Stopped by Northern Tool a couple days ago and picked up a Groz spin...

If you speak English anywhere near as well as you type it, I’d suggest calling them to be sure they can ship timely and there won’t be any issues, delays, or unpleasant surprises shipping to Croatia. If calling isn’t a good option for you, I’d send them a message on the “contact us” page on...

Lift kits for cyber trucks are already available. Haven’t seen a squatted one yet, but it’s inevitable. https://unpluggedperformance.com/product/tesla-cybertruck-up-invincible-2-5-inch-lift-kit/

That’s a good point. Still being forced in CA, I believe, but federal incentives phased out.

Sort of, yes. I once witnessed a young couple with three little kids haul the five of them in the front and some groceries in the back. The woman looked happy strapping the the kids in the “truck cab”. I assume they have a back seat? The look on the man’s face as he loaded the groceries in the...

Same. Just to be clear, I have nothing against EV’s. I don’t have one for the same reason I don’t have a lot of other things; as they currently exist they’re not a good fit for my current needs and I don’t want one as a toy. Government advocacy, incentivizing, and backhanded mandating by...

I know there are many on here much more knowledgeable than I on many topics, including electric power generation and transmission, thus the question. To my stupid, simple self it seems totally crazy to think our current power grid is anywhere close to being able to handle the increased load of...

Already posted these elsewhere but might be the only chance I have to post snow plowing pics. Been close to 20 years since the last time I plowed snow.

If it’s cold enough long enough to freeze the fire ants, it will be worth the unusual cold. If they’re still here in spring, maybe not.

Yesterday, snowing with temps in low 20’s or high teens, yeah a cab would have been preferable. We made a snow man, went to town for lunch for no particularly good reason, then plowed the three driveways and road. Much more pleasant with sunny skies and temps around 30. Not regretting the open...

Most snow we’ve had in years and still coming down. First time I’ve tried plowing with this tractor. Usually don’t get enough to challenge our 4WD vehicles and just wait a few days for it to melt. Changed the transmission filter and figured since most folks say R4’s suck in snow, I’d make a few...

Is the top hook needed to be proper height to share the load with the two bottom hooks? No. Or can I set it to were the hook hooks into to attachment enough to maintain the attachment? Yes. See post #2 for further details.

Don’t have one because it didn’t come with one and it’s parked in a climate controlled shop that stays between 65F and 75F year round. If it was parked somewhere that got cold, I’d definitely have one.

Market here isn’t great. We have a private forester handling the sale and replant. I know some things and have some contacts, but that’s an area totally out of my wheelhouse. Our forester tells me large saw logs are OK at the moment but pulp and small logs aren’t good. He’s supposed to be doing...

That sucks. We’re supposed to be harvesting about 40 acres of pines sometime later this year. If we’d gotten the 1/2”+ of freezing rain they predicted, that would have been an expensive storm for us.

Yes, it should.

You want the grooves to retain snow. Nothing sticks to snow like more snow. That’s the whole reason for siping. Nothing wrong with grooving in the other direction, but if they don’t retain snow, they don’t work.

Not a fan of the cold. The 4” of sleet we got was pretty fun yesterday sledding on the dam and sledding behind the Mule. I made the mistake of driving first. Wife apparently thought I was a little rough with her. When we switched I was kind of glad the Mule tops out at about 30 mph as I got the...
