Well damn... I have to grind the sleeve down too I guess, the sleeve is also too wide for the LX2610 top link bracket... Kubota really dropped the ball on this one. I should have checked the bracket width so I could have taken material off of both sides uniformly with the belt sander. I guess I'll have to use an angle grinder and a file at home tomorrow.
Land planes are freaking awesome in gravel. Literally, drop and drive.
. My friend is a pilot for a very wealthy individual up here. He's also part owner of a very nice and very expensive Top Cub plane as well as being an active flight instructor. He sent me this photo last night of his property to tell me how pleased he is and that it looks great.
Awesome property! I'd plant some clover, mint, or milkweed. All of those are great for bees and clover doesn't really need mowing. Milkweed is also great for Monarch butterflies.As a final follow up to last weekend's flail mower ordeal here's an aerial view of my work taken yesterday afternoon
The lighter colored areas bordered by driveways on three sides and the river on one side are what I cut. Last year I also cut the 1+ acre along the river to the south of the houses shown at bottom center (kind of looking south in this photo). That lot was recently sold.
I would love to own this field or one like it. I would turn it into a hay field. My friend has river water rights so irrigation isn't an issue. We're trying to decide what to do with it to keep weeds down, and provide a good source of food for his bees. If it involves pulling a plow and disc harrow around I'm all in.

Just noticed you're in Indiana. Better put some traction pads on that stuff anywhere you're stepping close to the edge. Composite decking is slicker than greased monkey snot with frost on it. I used it on my front stoop and wound up going down 9 steps on my keester right after I tore my right rotator cuff. It looks great, and will last a long time, but take a few extra measures to insure traction on it. You'll thank me the first time you step out on it with frost on it.
Hi - I had to have about 7 stairs replaced - they were curved-front. Original guy I hired had some steel forms for them, but after looking at his layout, even to my untrained eyes there was no way they'd take the pressure, weight and keep the proper shape, so paid him for his time and hired another contractor. For each step, he built a square frame (I think 2 x 6's) and staked the heck out of it. Then, inside the frame, he placed the curve, supported with a generous number of 2 x 6 struts connecting the curve piece to the frame. That may be overkill for a one-step landing, but it looks like a good-sized pour.
Personally, I'd do sunflowers. There's a place near us that plants quite a few acres and has it set up as a business so people can wander in the fields,take pictures, has food vendors,etc. They let people cut the heads and charge $1 each flower. They have multiple different colored varieties( place is called Sunflowers of Sanborn)....As a final follow up to last weekend's flail mower ordeal here's an aerial view of my work taken yesterday afternoon

Thanks. I'll reach out to them and see if they're willing to give me some advice on ways to successfully do that. The planting and growing part that is, not the commercialization.

It looks to me like the little guy is getting into position to make a mud pie of his own!
