    marker points (creasers)

    Leroy, Yes - for water so when the ditch or pipe opens up at the top of a field, the water can gradually follow these small furrows down through and distribute the water kind of evenly without swamping up. Believe me, I'm from the hills of Pennsylvania (40+ inches/yr where my place was) and I...

    marker points (creasers)

    Delta, Here's a picture of one of the markers. Should I be getting something out of this or is it too far gone? Thanks.

    marker points (creasers)

    Delta, I'm down here outside of Montrose. So you add weight; this makes instinctive sense. Perhaps with extra weight and sharper points, I could get down in there. I was going through different stuff - some almost bare ground, some low sod, some places I would have tended to brush hog off...

    marker points (creasers)

    I've tried to mark a neighbor's field with a three bottom marker I borrowed from a farmer down the road. I think I got the the thing leveled out,side to side, so the points are all equa-distant when contacting the ground, and my sway blocks are tight. The marker is a heavy piece, a Deere from...

    batteries

    Then I guess this thing will outlast me. Very rough math says 1000 hours in twenty years, in 40 years I'll have 3000 hours on it. I'm 71...better start eating my kale.

    batteries

    Mule, Just curious. How many hours do you have on your 16G? I've got 1125 on mine and I'm wondering when I should be expecting trouble. So far so good, at least with the engine. Straight 30 weight from the get-go.

    batteries

    Well- got a used car battery from the local recycling/junkyard outfit for $15. Took a good charge when I got it home and spins that Kholer over like crazy. Thank you all for the input.

    batteries

    Sticker shocked once more. I used to pick up a 12-v "garden Tractor" size battery for $20-25. They might last a year or two, then I'd get a new one - no big deal. Recently after moving and taking a hiatus from running the tractor - a Gravely G16 Professional, I paid $55 for the same...

    circular saws

    After 20 years of running my Porter Cable 315-4 sidewinder - not daily, but maybe weekly on whatever project comes up - I ran across the owners manual for the thing. Wait! I'm supposed to have this thing lubricated every 150 hours? And I'm not supposed to do it myself? Supposed to find an...

    IBC tote

    Well....wouldn't be the first dumb question I've asked. Is the 6" filler cap on top of a 275 gallon IBC caged tote threaded, and if so, would it be reverse threaded? Mine won't budge. I've tapped at it with a hammer and punch - still nothing. I was going to put the real gorilla on it, but I...

    Royal Purple 15-40

    Thank you all for the info. I'll call that number and chat with them. I feel better now that I know they're a known player.

    Royal Purple 15-40

    Anyone know about the Royal Purple outfit? They are out of Texas so they should know oil. I got a 320 gallon tote that had some 15-40 left in it. I heard that they make high-end lubes and oils for racing and such and I visited their website, but nowhere could I find them referencing that oil for...
