    Shop lighting

    I had one go out in about 8 years. There isn't much to them, just a piece of thin metal with ends and bulbs. The ones I use for grow lights get moved around and I figured more than one would have quit by now, but they are still going.

    Shop lighting

    I use these cheapos from Amazon in a pole barn and also as grow lights to start plants. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BPN92M83?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_6&th=1

    Review of string trimmer reviews

    8 or so years ago I bought some cheap Worx electric stuff. It all still functions and the original batteries are still good. About 5 years ago my wife wanted an electric trimmer for her to use, so since the other stuff did ok and they all use the same batteries I added one. It has become my...

    Couple of acres. Looking for seed treatment.

    Corn Germination Problem

    After the initial failure, I planted on my place and his with the same seed and plants on the same days using the same methods. Everything here grows fine.

    Corn Germination Problem

    If yall know of a good home treatment for seed, please pass it on. I did a search and most was in high dollar quantities. I'll order something and give a short row a try when it dries out in a few days and see if it makes a difference. I usually grow enough field corn to grind for cornmeal...

    Corn Germination Problem

    Interesting. Some seed was treated and some was not. Never seen evidence of a wire worm problem on anything excepts sweet potatoes, but that could be.

    Corn Germination Problem

    Last year I was talking to my neighbor about watching for a few acres for sale close by for stuff that takes up the most room in my garden, since the open areas I have and could use have berms and swales and I really don't want to take the chance of it washing. He said he had some old pasture...

    MF 135 hydraulic leak

    Yes, that is what made me curious. I'm not a mechanic at all, but would think the pressure would be constant regardless of level.

    MF 135 hydraulic leak

    Bringing up this old one just to see if someone has an answer to satisfy my curiosity. Last year I bought a 135 and didn't notice any leaking signs anywhere. Mowed 6-8 hrs and had a leak at the PTO shaft and replaced the seal. While it was empty I changed the hyd filter and filled her back up...

    Brush killers

    That is the best thing I've found to kill the woody stuff. Privet, wisteria, honeysuckle and any hardwoods that sprout back up where I've cleared areas and fence rows.

    potato digger

    I think I'll stick with my version. That horse eats year round. I was interested to see him make the second pass for any he missed. After I drug the vines off I removed the sections of three C tines behind the rear tires. I thought after the fact that next time I will leave them on and after...

    potato digger

    We dug sweet taters last week and afterwards I checked online and couldn't find anything within a 500 mile radius of me here in the SE, but hopefully you'll have better luck in your area. Middle buster works good, but I hate going back over several rows with a rake for any hiding or that get...

    Tractor insurance

    Currently have Safeco and called them about this a few years ago. They said mine were covered with the homeowner's policy.

    14’ Fishing Boat Value?

    I see a couple in my area similar in the 700-1K range. Good luck selling. I posted a 14' that is wider and more stable than most recently with a 25hp motor, trolling motor and electronics and new battery and didn't even get a nibble. Decided I would keep it before I give it away.
