    Unfortunately I had to take a break

    I appreciate all the well wishes from the community. I am home and I have been feeling much better. I got outside today and started working on a tote rack for my shop. I have been trying to get it organized better so I can have better use of the space. I am one of those people that never...

    Unfortunately I had to take a break

    Well, I am home now and I had Two stents put in yesterday! So I have to say again that I dodged another “bullet”. Some of you may not know that I had prostate cancer in 2024, I had to travel to Hampton VA to have a treatment called Proton Therapy. It’s a form of Radiation but it’s a...

    Unfortunately I had to take a break

    I have been having shortness of breath and dizziness for a few months. So my primary care doctor had a bunch of tests done to see if he could figure out what was causing it. After having over a half dozen tests done, Everything came back normal! But he told me that he was going to refer me to...

    Convert a rotary tiller to be attached to my tractor.

    Did some more work on my tiller tractor project today. Was able to get it pretty much done and gave it a test run and I believe it’s going to be a great addition to my tractor implement collection and most of all when I head to the woods to get the food plots ready to plant. I am posting...

    Convert a rotary tiller to be attached to my tractor.

    Just a quick update. Had to order a cable to replace the old cable that activates the tiller tines. Also ordered new belts for the power pulleys to activate the tines. Hopefully they will be in on Friday. Until then I will work on the project and see what I can do to make it work, seems to...

    Homemade Weight Box

    I don’t think so. But I am going to talk to my two sons in laws about it. One is a farmer and the other owns a Large Welding business. I am hoping they may have a way to help me get it weighed. I am sure my son in law that is a farmer may have access to getting it weighed.

    What I did Yesterday with my tractor

    I took my tractor and my disc implement to the woods yesterday to work on the food plot that I planted last year in the fall. Got it disc up and ready to get it cleaned up for the spring planting. Just need to get back to it and finish removing all the old stuff and then work the ground and...

    Homemade Weight Box

    According to the google search, multiple in feet, the length, width and height or thickness of your concrete then multiply the results by 150 which is the density of concrete, so (L x W x T) = concrete mass x 150 = total weight is mass. Now, I am not saying that the formula is 100% correct but...

    Seed Rake

    Well I decided to remake the seed rake. I purchased a 5’ 4” x 3/16” flat shock steel and some metal 1/2” rebar. Got my welder hooked up and made the rake out of steel. Now before I get the picture posted, I had not done any welding in over 4 years! So my skill level was very low compared...

    Homemade Weight Box

    I didn’t think I would ever need one of these but a have read on several different sites that they do give you the extra weight that helps when using the FEL so I had this old metal box that was just sitting under my shop lean to growing spiders! I have NO IDEA how much it weighs but I googled...

    Convert a rotary tiller to be attached to my tractor.

    I have had this rotary tiller for about 10 years. Bought it used for $125. It’s a Central Hardware Store brand but it’s like the old Craftsman and MTD brands. My thought is that since I have not put in a garden in several years and I don’t believe I ever will again, I’ll just convert it to be...

    Seed Rake

    You are 100% correct. They lasted about 3 passes! Or maybe 150’! So today, after I sat down and put pencil to paper. I came up with a new plan to make it. I ran to town and bought 10’ piece of rebar. I decided on the fiberglass kind but now I’m thinking I should have used the steel rebar...
