We all probably know how expensive some green paint can be, but the 2nd rear SCV is one that took me back 3 years ago and then they jacked the price up since going FT4 on the new ones (not sure if the parts are actually different or not). So $800 was no bueno in 2015 when I got the tractor, and...

I've been dealing with un-managed major depression for the past 18 years. I did "try" to get help for it back in 2012 after my physical issues kicked into hyperdrive, but the meds they put me on gave me the dreaded flattened effect and I felt like a zombie from the moment I woke to when I...

The skidder operator got his signals crossed and hauled out much of my barricade (shrub henge), and my faller mowed down a lot of the brush removing trees from the lot line (which he was instructed to do). So the 'henge' has been reduced to tall stumps over much of the former barricade, and I...

I had some logging done this winter and now have a 3-ish acre plot clearing that needs stumps removed (I'll be grinding them as soon as the snow is gone), and I'm wondering what I should put down to keep the thistle in check while the roots rot out? I do have a sub-soiler that I could use to...

I'm about to start work on a timber sale and my forester informed me that I can have other work done while he's on-site. Sadly, my real need for a dozer will come after the logging is completed and the dozer will be there to make roads passable by semi and log decks prior to the start of...

I got a couple industrial sewing machines and a whole mess of this webbing, so I bought US made clips and cranked out some straps since the buckles either broke on my old cameras or the thread came undone. Also great for rolling up sleeping bags, your wife's yoga mats (since we all know no one...

Did some more earth moving today and found a surprise under my top soil. The berm around the hole is higher than 18" to the bottom, but the actual depression is about knee deep. There's a ton of wood, roots, and grass in the berm, so that'll rot down in time. This garden is along side our...

I banged this out a couple weeks ago when I was home one day, but just got around to mounting it this afternoon. Managed to break a 5/8" grade 8 bolt with my 24" flex head ratchet when mounting the base to the container, so I need another bolt for the vise. This way that old Wilton will...

There's been plenty of discussion about blinds and elevator brackets lately, and Foggy's window upgrades. But what is the ideal blind? How big, what features, how do you get in it, etc? I've wanted to make a 6x12' I could park my ATV under, but funds are limited right now. Is 4x4' really...

Yesterday was supposed to be easy. Just load an empty container on a flatbed, drive it up the hill to the garden, then spend some time in the woods and head home. Against my better judgement, I went along for the ride in the truck instead of spotting for the driver as I'd offered. I had a 8'...

:D

Over the weekend I picked up a former Foley fire pump truck. 30,011 miles on the clock. 366ci BB gasser. 2sp rear end and 5spd transmission. The coming weeks will involve moving the rear axle forward, adding a wet kit, and putting a dump box on it. When I was at the DMV transferring the...

With the imminent onset of logging happening on my property, I'm starting to look at insurance options for the parcel since it won't be covered under my personal umbrella attached to my homeowners policy as vacant land if I'm operating as a business venture off it. What are some things I should...

24" long, can be cut shorter if desired (will make to order for your saw). Will handle 3/8" saw chain or smaller. 4.5" tooth to tooth width for the bar/chain on this one, but can be made wider if needed. I can make these up to 48" long, but that'll be a higher cost. Bolt it to your fender...

I decided against building a hydraulic skidding winch after coming to the conclusion that the speed needed wasn't achievable with the desired force out of my hydraulics on the tractor, so I had a motor I wasn't using and decided to build a stump grinder instead. The force generated will be more...

I'm looking at getting a big straight truck for hauling wood/machinery, and need a CDL to get the most use out of that equipment. Would you guys suggest doing self-study and then just take the test, or would you go through a class? I'm not looking at getting semi endorsement, or tandems or...

Well, I put it there for ventilation. :p Then stuffed this sucker in it using a buddies 115v flux core welder (ugh! I miss my Miller Invision back at the shop): And painted it with the first can of Krylon I grabbed. :D The design is a prototype I came up with that sheds water forward of...
