I tend to overthink things that I spend lots of money on. I have no idea how I might go about searching for opinions of flail mowers versus rotary cutters, so I'm gonna go ahead and just ask. I tried a couple searches but got either/or but nothing comparing both. Pricing appears to be about...

I got COVID and survived it. EASILY. If I hadn't tested for it, I wouldn't have known I had it. I've had worse URI's and problems from the dust and mold in my yard after picking up leaves or mowing grass. Once I figured out what was causing that, I got in the habit of waiting until after...

In this day and age of technology that should be able to minimize the stress and grief of buying a product, I find it's only gotten worse. Maybe it's more the selfish culture of the generations behind mine, that really don't care about the issues they cause for other people. I don't know the...

Did anyone else get a Service Advisory from Kubota regarding the LA535 FEL? Dunno what it’s about yet, but it does require taking the loader to a dealer for a warranty service. Just got it today. Gonna call the dealer tomorrow to see how long it’ll take and if they’ll schedule it for a...

Strangely enough, I see nuts welded to the stationary part of the ROPS on my LX. The darn thing rattles and is VERY annoying when doing anything like quick direction changes, rough terrain, etc. I can't help but believe that nut was welded there for a thumbscrew or something to stop that...

Got thunderboomers and toroquakes headed our way tonite, actually cranking up right now. Possibility of tennis ball size hail according to our local weather guru. He doesn't miss often. Covered the missus' Traverse with moving blankets and tarps and stuck the nose of the F-150 under the deck...

Normally, I'd like to point the muzzle of a 12 ga shotgun at door-to-door salesmen out selling left-handed waffle turners or trying to save my soul. My soul was in trouble a long time ago, and I'm stingy, so ain't got much time for either beggars or bible thumpers. But, circa 2011, one came by...

Cleaned up all the junk that accumulates around any small shed that is off the ground. Moved the attachments and trailers, and dug up the electrical service to my existing shed. Gonna replace the little tool shed with a 24x36 garage/shop/shed to protect my investments in equipment. Sorry for...

Today started out as a bottling day for some homemade beer that I brewed about 3 weeks ago. That beer is transferred to the bottling bucket, but that's about as far as it got. Instead, I brewed up a 10 gallon batch of my go-to beer, Rapier Wit, with just a tweak of lemon peel to it, and got...

GM agrees to $5.75 million settlement with California over ignition switches (cnbc.com) Apparently, the ignition switches would turn off the engine while the vehicle was in motion, also apparently disabling the airbags, which was allegedly the cause of 124 deaths and 275 injuries. Just out of...

Looks like my new stump bucket AND my new chipper should be here tomorrow. WOOT! Might even come on the same truck, because both are being transported by R+L Carriers. Got PT in the morning, but hoping the truck comes after lunch so I can get back in time to unload. The chipper's a real...

Ordered this: Best Stump Bucket For Skid Steer Quick Attach (Free Shipping) Titan Attachments™ (palletforks.com) and this: BXpanded Piranha Toothbar today. Thought about the Wicked Tootbar some, but something about the Piranha looks better to me. Not just the price, but also the bevel cut...

"Hammerin' Hank" Henry Louis Aaron passed away today. I was a sophomore in high school when he made #715 to break Babe Ruth's record in 1974, breaking so many boundaries in a world where racial relations were getting so much better than they are today. Having lived through those times, I can't...

WC68 6″ PTO Wood Chipper, Wood Chipper | Woodland Mills USA Did my homework, and studied hard. The WoodMaxx WM-8H has a much heavier flywheel (200 lbs) which turns more than twice the speed of the direct drive models (120 lb), but sports only two knives. A few more strikes per second, but...

Picked up a pretty nice little metal ammo can from HF today, and a few bits of hardware and a can of orange Rustoleum paint from HD today. Time to put a better toolbox on the LX. Spot checked the paint inside the bucket for color match today. Close enough. May do the deed tomorrow if the...

Shopping and trying to make an intelligent choice on a good chipper. Option 1: WC68 6″ PTO Wood Chipper, Wood Chipper | Woodland Mills USA I like this machine, and the delivery on it is impressive. The flywheel is direct drive, 200 lbs, and the hydraulic pump (for the infeed) is the only...

Got about 10 hours on the clock, so went and bought a new grease gun (air operated) and a case of Hi-Temp Moly EP grease. Just out of curiosity, with an FEL, and normal tractor lubing, any one give me some general idea how long a 14 oz cartridge will last, and also, some idea about how much to...
