    Cement Mixer Advice

    I appreciate all the excellent input. On the interior pad, I plan to do it in sections. I think I'm going to buy the mixer and do those sections myself. But for the outside butchering platform, I believe I'll have that done by pros. One thing I liked about the advice was the alternative...

    Cement Mixer Advice

    Yeah. I'd go that route too if I could find one at a good price.

    Cement Mixer Advice

    You mean they'll mix it at the plant then load it in a trailer mounted mixer that you tow to the site? That's an option I didn't know about.

    Cement Mixer Advice

    I have two projects slated for this fall that involve pouring cement slabs. One is inside an existing building and one is a new slab that is going to be the foundation for a covered butchering platform. All together, I'm looking at around 200 square feet of four inch deep concrete. I'm...

    Poison Hemlock

    I got rid of it by mowing and round up. Here in Kansas you see it in lots of farmyard and field edges. I had lunch last Friday with land manager for three big tracts of tall grass prairie in the flint hills east of Wichita. He told me poison hemlock was the number one invasive that he deals...

    I'm kind of surprised it didn't bring more, if the description is accurate.

    Diesel woes !

    I don't know man. I'm not able to read the future. See what John T is predicting.

    Diesel woes !

    Don't worry you guys. On March 6th John T explained that, "I look for gas to lower in a few short weeks or month max". It's been a month, so maybe he'll be along soon to provide some further assurances.

    A gallon of water froze inside B transmission

    I had the same experience with my 49 M about 10 years ago. I did the same as you. After the temperature rose I drained the water and orange goo that was in there, and then replaced with fresh gear oil. Trouble free after that. At the time I had only owned the tractor a year or two. I think...

    Help-Slushy Antifreeze

    The reason water is problematic is that it expands (becomes less dense) when it freezes. That increase in volume is what does the damage to a rigid enclosed system like a radiator or engine block. Even if your mixture froze it would not expand. You'll be fine. Water is the only substance...

    Firewood math problem

    If it were me I might do two piles as I split. Toss the pieces into the separate piles as I split them - "two for you, three for me. Two for you, three for me..."

    Your money's no good here.

    I bought gas with cash on Sunday in Wichita. I tried to pay at the pump but it wouldn't take my card! Went inside and handed them $20 for pump three. No problem. I think most of the places near you still take cash. Exceptions might be places like Sam's or Costco. With respect to gas -...

    Nearly mowed (not a pun) a motorcyclist this afternoon

    I lived in Texas for a few years in the 90s. The joke was, "if you see a Texas car with the blinker on, it was probably like that when they bought it." Apologies to Texas, but drivers were much more aggressive and apt to flout the traffic laws compared to the drivers i was used to in the midwest.
