    Guns and Tractors

    Roger that! Even when I run out of barn space...there's always room for another gun!

    Black Friday shopping

    Nothing wrong with "old school"! Wife and I laughed that even we did some Black Friday shopping- if not a little unconventional... bought a brand new cattle chute/headgate! Getting a bit too gray to keep trying to get by squeezing these things between the gate and a wall, know my vet will...

    Vehicle title question.

    The wife and I have done this on several vehicles titled in each others names...makes things less complicated if something should happen. The Registrar actually suggested it.

    Better equipment!

    Could not agree more! At this point in my life, I don't see scrambling to get hay in (because the "weather-guessers" got it wrong, again) before the rain AND fighting to keep equipment that was built near/before my birth operating as a fun way to spend my time away from the firehouse. The...

    Old Grimm Belt Driven Tedder

    Call Leader. 802-775-5411 7:30-4:30 MF and 8:00-3:00 Sat. Have the same tedder- love it's simplicity. Called them earlier this Feb--had the springs in stock! Got them in a few days, seems like it was somewhere around $6-12 ea plus nominal shipping. Bet they can hook ya up with a belt as well...

    Got one that sleeps here every night...my son. His 1st question would have been "mmm bacon!"

    Car on fire

    Absolutely love it when bystanders seem to have all the answers! 600+ carcenogenic/toxic chemicals produced by burning vehicles/contents---you want to suck that into your lungs, knock yourself out! Will not go into the competency of the local FD...would have to be witnessed by someone who could...

    Belarus and Zetor tractors???

    Still running my 530 on a regular basis. A little less now that I bought a MF 698 with cab/ac. Still as handy as a pocket on a shirt, for the $. Have had virtually no issues mechanically, but it is a crude looking and clunky machine. Power steering not the best, especially with the over-sized...

    Ted and not to ted

    Had same situation here in SW Ohio, as the clouds cleared a bit ago I went ahead and ran the tedder over mine since I'll be gone all day tomorrow. Always hopeful...

    CHEVROLET pickups

    My 2011 2500HD shows an average of 14.5 mpg...and it's 4x4 with 3.73 rear end. I think I'll keep it.

    2006 Buick LaCrosse

    Have a similar '06, a Lucerne,bought with 67k now nearing 160k. No mechanical issues. Only issue we're having is the poor quality chrome on the steel rims- is peeling off the outside and there is oxidation/pitting on the inner bead allowing for slow leaks on several tires. Will be replacing the...

    Replacing Disc blades

    Have a Kewanne disc. Have multiple broken blades to replace scattered throughout the 4 gangs (yep, we got rocks/barrel-size boulders here in Preble Co). The appropriate replacements purchased are 18" (the older ones that are intact are about 16"). I am inclined to put at least 2 on each gang...

    Sign of the times

    Both parents requested cremation, kept my Dad's ashes here until my Mom went. Buried them together in a small vault on a single grave. Flipped a coin to decide who was going to spend eternity "on top" (you'd have to have known my parents)! My "father" got a few rides on my motorcycle, went...
