    Gear oil interval on Implements?

    I do use the same gear oil for both. It’s about $10 a quart and full synthetic. Both take a quart and it’s easy to drain and refill them. 15 minutes each. I’ve had my trans oil and filter changed on my current pickup twice now. At 50k and 100k. Based on the feedback here I’m going to start...

    Gear oil interval on Implements?

    I’m just a homeowner with some land to care for and I rarely put more than 100 hours on my tractor each year. Of course I change the oil in that every year. No question. But how often do you change out the gear oil in implements like snowblowers and brush cutters? They each get maybe 20 hours...

    New Ground- how to manage a poor soil, but flat section and turn it into a food source

    I admit going in that I followed none of the rules. But it happened that there was some big steel available on my land one day, and a new food plot was instantly born from a recently clear cut maple/basswood logging. It’s actually a 1/2+ acre addition to an old micro plot. In 4 hours stumps...

    Chicory roots?

    I have a local doe that has hit my wifes perennial beds so hard this year I swear to God her fawns have to be hosta flavored. She had dozens of plants, even the ones planted next to the foundation, that are all eaten down to stumps. Not one was spared.

    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    The real reason is because some blue haired , humanity hating they/them in Toronto or Montreal thought it was a great way to stick it to the normies….. and a bunch of bobble-head politicians rushed to validate the crazy. Like they always do

    Chicory roots?

    Not sure on natives but I had to dig up a water line last summer with an old hosta plant over it. I dug down over 7 feet deep and those roots were still going strong!! Ever since then I’ve been strategizing a hosta plot😂😂

    Any Canadian hunting trips?

    I’ve hunted and fished in Canada for a few decades now. Usually at least twice per year. Starting this year I’m not going at all. Eff-em. The woke Syrupeans can pound sand. I’ll spend my money in the US thank you. I seriously hope our tariffs hurt the normal Canadian folks enough that they...

    How many pounds of brassica seed?

    This ‘various’ brassica strip was planted at 3#/acre after discing lightly, surface broadcasting, and cultipacking. I add about 7# per acre of various clovers….totaling 10# per acre of seed. Not including the chicory🤣. I hit it once with a 50# bag of triple 19 when the brassicas reach about...

    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    I know several firefighter / EMT’s and they all bought into the Covid bullshit hook line and sinker. Even now with all the evidence it was in fact bullshit for people without 3-5 serious risk factors, they still see want to see themselves as heroic.

    Dolly for implements

    If I had the cash or skills I’d weld up some square tube aluminum dolly’s with nice caster wheels. Until then, it’s crooked Menards 2x8’s and cheap 5” harbor freight casters. But once i figure out the size, it takes 30 minutes each and they work great on my concrete. They aren’t light by any...

    Northstar sprayer from Northern Tool

    I’ve had the Northstar 25 gallon sprayer for about 5 years now. I only use it about twice per summer and I clean it up with dawn dish soap every time and always bring it in the basement for the winter. I hate to tempt fate like this but it’s been a great little sprayer for me and my 5 acres of...
