    Safe, dependable, affordable

    We pay for “half” of our children’s cars (they chip in usually 4-5k) and get them all Honda civics. They are expected to drive them through the end of college when they are free to buy whatever they want in their own.

    Trenching with Subsoiler

    tried this over a 1700 ft stretch, laying 1” poly pipe. The YouTube videos made it look easy. first, my depth was uneven, with some poly pipe ending up only a few inches below surface. Then the pipe would snag just a bit off the subsoiler, pulling the other end 8-12” from spot to connect to...

    newbie question-disc harrows

    I like this approach, but I've got a few 3-8 acre areas that were scraped to build a pond or berms to help with erosion. it's packed hard and I'm trying to build up the organic matter again. Last winter I tried broadcasting wheat/oats/clover and prob had 30% success. A couple other places...

    newbie question-disc harrows

    I'm looking at putting in some small food plots for deer (1 acre-ish) as well as adding some winter cover crops to improve my soil. Last winter, I scraped up long rows with the teeth of my 6 ft box blade and then over-seeded with winter wheat and clover using one of those scatter seeders you...

    Spraying weeds........

    I'm intrigued that you got good results with such a low concentration of remedy--0.5%? Being so expensive, I'm interested in the lowest effective concentration for that product.

    Got a dozer to use for free :) What would you do?

    You are correct in that I don't know what I'm doing :). I literally am keeping the speed below 1.5 almost the entire time (insert something about me needing to put on my big boy britches here). At slow speed, I snapped off a couple of trunks without pulling up the root ball. Maybe that was...

    Got a dozer to use for free :) What would you do?

    so update after my first full day's work: 1) Learning the basics of driving is easier than I thought--and I'm very cautious in learning anything new and dangerous. 2) Producing a clean, smooth patch of dirt where trees/brush has been is hard. Grading in general is tricky for a newbie...

    Got a dozer to use for free :) What would you do?

    A good (actually great) friend happened to need a place to park his D5K for a few months. Gave me a tutorial and left me the keys. Besides the fact that THIS IS AWESOME!!, I now need tips on dozer safety and efficient use (fortunately I don't have many slopes). And what would you do if you...

    Time for a side by side/UTV

    I asked a similar question here last year-that post is somewhere. I ended up with a Kubota 400 and it's perfect. Not over-powered but can go through a creek/up a muddy hill no problem. The mules drive a little faster/more aggressively, so my Kubota is great for my 13 year old--I want him...

    chainsaw safety-tips?

    Exactly! On one hand, I love the efficiency and work I can get done in a day...but I always wish there was a better safer way.

    chainsaw safety-tips?

    I've been doing a lot of chainsaw work recently, but never used a chainsaw before about 9 months ago. Wear helmet/faceguard, safety chaps, and regular leather gloves. A lot of my work is all alone so I'd rather be overly cautious than injured. Any tips or habits y'all do to keep safe?

    do you put plugs in your tires?

    Brush-hogging is giving me weekly flats in my front tires on my 40hp kubota. Until I pause long enough to foam fill, do you guys plug your fronts?
