    First tractor research

    Mine has loaded tires too. The reason I like the heavy BB is because it’s so small. When I work in the woods / trails or even field edges, it’s nice not having a 7’ wide box blade or 10’ long brush cutter hanging out there…..Which is what I did previously. Now, whenever I mow or used the box...

    First tractor research

    I got lucky and a friend gave me a 1000# lead counterweight from an ancient tractor. It fit perfect in my ballast box, and I filled in with sand around it. 1300# total and only 2/3 full!👍 Actually squats the tractor a little when I lift it….but lord can I grab a nice load on the front. Either...

    First tractor research

    Stock stance on mine is 72” outside/outside. With the loader bucket and ballast box I think I’m at around 13’ long….but not 100% on that.

    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    Trans woman pumped full of hormones and woke ideology. Seems like I’ve heard this story before.

    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    I’ve traveled to Canada hundreds of times in my life for work and play. But not anymore! The passive aggressive little bitches can go suck on an icicle as far as I’m concerned. Every time I go up someone wants to talk to me about Trump / Tarriffs and I tell them I voted for everything...

    Alfalfa monoculture next year Z4

    Foggy I did some more research into seed locally and I’m coming around to your juice/squeeze comment. Up here I’m told that RR ready or not, I’m probably only going to get about 4 years out of it anyway. So since I have more than one field I rotate in and out, I’m probably going to go with...

    First tractor research

    I have a 6’ Firminator on my 4 series and I really like the thing for my uses. It cost less than 1/2 of what drills run but it’s also not light. The 3-series I had my heart set on (3039R) wouldn’t have cut it. But the thing that really separates the wheat from the chaff on a CUT, IMO, is...

    Crossbows as we age....

    A 6 year old kid that still cries when he has to go to bed can shoot lights out at 40 yards with a crossbow on his first try. It took me many years of vertical bow practice, starting at 12 years old, to get that good. I got into bow hunting because it extended my season. I loved to hunt. I...

    Unique side hustles?

    I have accumulated an ungodly collection of used but good hunting / fishing gear that I’m not using and don’t want to store. Maybe a few tools too. So I’m going to have an outdoorsman’s thrift sale this spring right next to my wife’s regular thrift sale. My own tables separated from all the...

    Clover seed before the storm.

    I’m getting ready to plant alfalfa this year and also only doing 3-4” tillage. I’m doing both. I surface broadcast 1t per acre last fall. That will get tilled in during preparation this spring. I’ll then test the soil and just before planting I’m going to hit it with another 1t if needed. I...

    Unique side hustles?

    It’s not my hustle, but I let a guy on my land for about a week every early fall to cut white cedar boughs. Then later in the winter he comes back and cuts black spruce boughs. I make enough $ off that to pay about 1/2 of the property taxes. I think he makes fairly serious money off my place...

    Alfalfa monoculture next year Z4

    Foggy, the things I can sometimes justify in the name of hunting, habitat, tractors and equipment even scares me sometimes 😂😂

    Conspiracy theorys, where do you stand?

    I read today that Ilhan Omar is worth millions. She started her political career with nothing but a brother/husband and a big mouth. How can that be?

    Alfalfa monoculture next year Z4

    My farmer said he’d grab a 50# bag for me on his Monsanto #. Around $500. I need about 25# for my 1.25 acres (broadcast) so I’ll either sell the other 25# to someone local or vacuum package it and save it for another plot.
