    Pros and cons to Kubota 0 turn mowers

    I bought the Z232KW-42 as I only have about 1.5 acres that I can't cut with me Land Pride and can't get the wife to let me use it. Yes 42" is small but it's just what I need around the garden, pool, shed etc. I looked at other options, they all would work well for me but I am glad I got the...

    Using in 'backwards' helps me not fall into the pond! :)

    Bats in my barn!

    Well it's been awhile but here's an expensive update: We had a very well know (locally) barn/bat expert do a very thorough checkup on our barn and it's not good. Built in 2006, most of it is in very good shape but the previous owners added 'regular' insulation to the inside roof which gave a...

    When Did You Start Feeling Old?

    When my grown son thanked me for being tough on him when he was young so that he could grow up making better decisions in life and not just go with the riff-raff flow downstream. But, I've not yet yelled to anyone, "Get Off My Lawn"! :)

    Bats in my barn!

    Supposedly, the 'bat guy' has a plan for that. He may build some bat boxes away from the barn and once we give it a good cleaning and the horses are there full time (with some cats too I think), he thinks they'll soon find out they will like the bat boxes better than the barn. This is all new...

    Bats in my barn!

    First they poop everywhere and it smells and can be dangerous to some but, I'm not a horse guy (that's the wife's thing) but I'm told they can make horses sick. I just heard from a neighbor that he has a relative that had a serious barn/bat problem and over the last 6 years, spent $48K!!!! I'd...

    Bats in my barn!

    Thanks, we did have some work done on the ridge cap but I already have someone coming to sealing with more screws and sealant.

    Bats in my barn!

    We're about 6 weeks away from moving and living full time in Mississippi and have had a new shed built, the barn is being 30% redone with updated doors, aluminun all around the barn and whatever else is needed to get 2-3 horses their new home. We knew there was a bat problem when we bought the...

    Land Pride adjustments for my pasture

    I wanted to post back that things have been going very well with my Kubota and Land Pride. It's been tweaked to near perfection, is cutting beautifully and I've even met a hay bailer who used to cut the same property about 8 years ago who is very interested in 'making hay' from some of my land...

    Land Pride adjustments for my pasture

    My pasture does have some rough areas but while I don't have the exact speed, it's not very fast. There are some flat areas that I an ball it out almost at top speeds but I don't have much area like that. I do think having a few horses will take care of some of my pasture but that's months...

    Land Pride adjustments for my pasture

    I have the RCR12 60" cutter. I'm not concerned about how good it looks but, until I'm fully moved in, hopefully in the next 6 weeks or so and since I'm only there on weekends, I am trying not to spend all weekends mowing so cutting it lower was my intention but I can see that's not likely the...

    Land Pride adjustments for my pasture

    Actually, I couldn't get to cutting for almost a month due to working my butt off so that I could retire a bit early. Now that's done, I'm ready to keep on top of it. I don't cut when it's wet and I have thought about having the local 'hay' man come by and that's an option I may use when I get...

    Land Pride adjustments for my pasture

    New guy here...new tractor, new rural house, first question! I have about 18 acres of pasture to cut and I started in the early spring and it was easy-peasy but now that it's summer and I'm only free 1 day a week, catching up has me slowing down. I have a Kubota L4802HST and I love it. My Land...
