After a 12 year relationship covering over 1800 hours of use and abuse, the little B2400 let me down. I was out mowing this afternoon and decided to take a break for a few minutes. I parked it, got off and was clearing grass off the deck when I saw transmission/hydraulic fluid leaking out...

The last few days the weather has been beautiful in East Texas so I thought that I better get it in gear and start doing the things I've been putting off for the last couple of months. Last fall and during the winter, as I stopped using various pieces of equipment, I cleaned them, lubed them...

I just finished mowing the 5 -6 acre yard at the property owned by the local library. Man it was hot. During the summer I usually use the L4740 with the cab and a/c. Unfortunately the only mower worth using on the back of it is the 6' bush hog and I will admit that it can be a "bit" rough on...

I haven't been doing much lately because of the weather and then I got sick. I caught the galloping crud so I've been coughing, spluttering and snottering for almost three weeks. Any how it was family supper on Saturday at my M-I-L's. My wife's family has it on a rotating basis every month...

Today has not been a good day. Before taking the L4740 out to the pasture to finish bush hogging I did a few piddling chores with the B2400 and the FEL. Everything went fine and I came back to the house and parked it in the driveway. After a cup of coffee I went back outside and decided to...

I received this the other day. I don't know if it's alarmist or not but I don't intend to take any chances.

Jakes photo of him clearing snow made me think. I used to work with a guy from Colorado who said he loved to clear snow. How many of you guys like to freeze your buns off doing that sort of thing? I'm interested because these days I hate cold weather. Earlier in my life, it didn't bother...

Some of you asked to see pictures of my place and tractors. Well, one of the tractors is at the farm. I'll be bringing it home today but I did manage to take some pictures of the house yesterday. It's about 13 acres all told. About 4 acres is "yard" and the rest pasture. With all the work I...

It's time I checked in here. I've been a lurker for a little while. I'm another refugee from TBN but, unlike a lot of you guys and gals, I haven't been banned .... at least not yet. I still visit there occasionally but seldom post anymore. It got to be very repetative with very little new...
