    Val6, Sunfire, etc Radiant Heaters

    A buddy of mine bought a Val6 radiant heater for his shop last year and absolutely loves it. I'm considering buying one myself, or a Sunfire, whichever is the best value. Anyone here with experience with either or have any advice? Thanks.

    Battery Powered Chainsaw

    My wife has a hard time starting a gas chainsaw and I was thinking about buying a battery powered one for when I'm not home and she needs one in a pinch. I'd prefer to stay with either a Milwaukee as I already have a bunch of their batteries, or a Stihl. The latter would be my only Stihl...

    Shop Heaters

    My cousin and I both have 40x64 pole barn shops with poor insulation (bubblewrap under the metal roof and sides), 14-16' eaves and no ceilings currently. We were talking about options the other night for some sort of heat in them, and both like the idea of propane heating - either Modine style...

    Squeeze Chute

    Anyone have any experience with these chutes? Looks like a lot of chute for the money. https://huntsville.craigslist.org/grq/d/athens-cb-angus-auto-cattle-squeeze/7417190989.html Better yet, anyone semi-local to Virginia have a used chute sitting around that needs a new home? Portable would...

    Driveway Gates

    Wife and I are thinking about putting a couple of gates down near the end of our driveway to discourage folks from joyriding up our driveway or walking where they're not invited. Driveway is about 20-25' between two sections of woven wire at the place I've got in mind, so it may be a single...

    Blocking Spam Calls on Cell Phone

    Anyone know of a reliable way to block spam calls on cell phones? I changed the setting on my phone to block any calls that are not in my contacts and it still lets them through??? Got 13 or 14 calls yesterday, and half a dozen or so already today. Is there an app or anything I can do to stop...

    Flat Face Skid Steer Couplers

    Anyone ever disassembled one? From what I gather they're not meant to be rebuilt, but curiosity is getting the better of me.

    Daily Emails from CT

    So last week I started getting an email each day from CT with hot topics or such, I never changed any of my settings and have never gotten these emails before. I'm ok with getting an email when I have a PM, but I don't want any other emails whatsoever. Is there a way to turn off everything...

    Anyone got a '61-66 Ford sitting out back?

    For some reason I've got the notion to tinker with an old truck and would like to find an old '61-66 Ford to mess with. Ideally, I'd love to find a F250 4wd, but would entertain others. Not looking to do a complete restoration on it, just patch it good enough to be roadworthy and have a good...

    Spring Oats

    Anyone here ever spread spring oats around where you feed, or have torn the ground up in the winter? Thoughts, alternatives? Smart-ass comments? Thanks.

    Lone Star Beer

    I picked up a case of it the last time I was in TX, but haven't been able to find any near here. Anyone know of a way to get some to VA, or if you can order beer online like everything else? Thanks!

    Farm Diesel Storage

    If you were redoing your farm diesel storage setup, what route would you go down currently? Let's assume something in the 250-500 gallon range, more or less. Anyone used a plastic/synthetic tank for diesel storage? Thanks.

    Quicke/Bush Hog Relationship

    I was looking for some parts for a Quicke loader online and noticed when I typed the part numbers into Google they came back as Bush Hog part numbers. When you look at BH's website, they list Quicke loaders and I don't see the BH branded loaders anymore. Have the 2 companies merged or has one...

    JD 6410, 6420, etc.

    A family member is considering getting another tractor and seems interested in the JD 6410, 6420, 6430 line - or something thereabouts. I'd like to keep it pre-emissions and relatively simple, so anything newer doesn't really hold much interest from the mechanic's (me) point of view. Anyone...

    Commission Rate for Selling Equipment

    A friend of ours lost her husband last year to a farming accident, and has a half dozen or more pieces of farm machinery that need to be sold. She isn't able to do so herself, and there is no one in her family that is trustworthy to handle money - to be polite. I told her I'd take all of the...

    Pole Barn House

    I know this isn't the right forum, but it's about the only one I keep up with these days and most of the folks here are like minded with myself. My wife and I are considering relocating to the Kansas/Nebraska area in the next few years, and are exploring a few options. We want to be able to...

    Fair price for pairs in your area

    Friend of mine is just starting out and would like buy a couple of my cows. I've got a group of 1st calvers with 300 lb calves by their side, was just going to pull him a couple pairs out of them. They're home raised, Angus cross with some Gelbvieh or Hereford depending on the individual...

    Hip Lifter

    Found myself in a pinch the other night when the two hip lifters I have access to were either in use or unaccounted for, so I cobbled up this one. It's an old jack off my batwing bush hog, and some 3/4 pipe I had laying around. I wish I had time to bend the pipe better, but I was in a hurry...
