Well after being on Team Blue for 17 years I sold my little New Holland in 2020 and bought a Kubota L3301. After a little less than 3 years of ownership I traded the Kubota for a new John Deere 3039r. It goes along with the little LT150 that I picked up for a steal last year from a co-worker...

I've been offline for a few weeks guys. We have had a crazy few weeks. First with the holidays and everything it was getting kind of busy and then Monica sprung it on me that she wanted a new truck, never being one to turn down the opportunity to get a new truck, I started looking, that turned...

I have had two minor problems with my Spartan Zero turn so far. One has been corrected, one soon will be. One happened a couple of weeks back. I started it up drove it out of the garage. Engaged the PTO, it immediately died. I texted the dealer - mind you this was 7:00 at night. He told me a...

When I ordered my new L3301 a few weeks back, one of the things I specified was I wanted Extendable Link Arms. They quoted my $200. I thought that seemed reasonable. The salesman then later mentioned that he thought it would be money better spent if he sold me a quick hitch. I then pointed out...

Been meaning to post this for awhile. I picked my new Kubota L3301 up on July 29th. I was torn between that and the LX3310. Even though the spec'd pretty close, the L is a substantially larger tractor with a much beefier loader and outweighed the LX by about 900 pounds, I was a bit worried about...

Well after 17 years and a little over 2500 hours, I said goodbye to my Blue Buddy. It has been a great tractor, but as we have gotten into the goats more we found we were needing to switch between tractor duties and mowing duties too much and I was spending too much time doing that. Combine that...

A buddy of mine took this picture this morning at Evolution Ag in Circleville, Ohio. I wouldn't want any of these tractors now and I would be afraid to buy anything from them for quite awhile until I made sure all of these were gone. I was just there last week looking at zero turns - the very...

Been using the tractor off and on all winter without issue, including all day cleaning the barn a few weeks ago. Went out last Sunday to take some feed to the barn because it was too wet to take the truck. Start the tractor up, battery light comes on and it stays on. Thinking, uh oh, this isn't...

As some/most of you know, we have a small goat farm. We have been in the process of building a milk room/tack area in the barn. When we went to the National ADGA show last year, BCZoom mentioned that he had some material for it that he would sale me. I wasn't able to swing it at that time as we...

This season has been off to a rough mowing season start because of MMM issues, I think I finally got those worked out only to have the tractor bite me now. I was mowing Saturday, I stopped to clean the radiator and when I went to get back on, I couldn't engage the MMM - the gears kept...

I've been moving a bunch of dirt into the new barn. The good thing is I'm getting close, the bad thing is I've been noticing some oil drips in my "path." At first I thought it was from where the rubber line joins the metal line along the side of the transmission that I've fix a couple times...

Let me start by saying I've had a slow leak in the left rear tire of the tractor for years. It started when I ran a piece of barbed wire through the sidewall. That was probably in 2005 or 2006 somewhere around there. I took it in to Dad at the tire shop (Dad was in the tire business for 40+...

We were camping this weekend with our 4-H group and right as we were getting ready to leave, one of the advisors asked her husband what part he needed for his lawn mower/garden tractor. Without knowing specifics, it is a Husqvarna either garden tractor/lawn mower, don't know the model. I'm...

First some background info. About 4 years ago we put the kids into 4-H. Started looking at taking goats, but couldn't find anyone with experience to help us. End up passing on animals the first year. Didn't like the club - they were boring and didn't do anything. We switched clubs. Found one we...

I've got Dad's old Sears Suburban SS12. It is in pretty decent shape, even though I used and abused this machine for several years before I bought the NH. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I remember it wouldn't start or something. This was back in 2002. Dad took the tractor back to...

In the old Wal-Mart building in Circleville there was a little junk/outlet store. They sold a lot of Northern Tool and Craftsman returns. I got a few bargains there including a set of Pat's Easy Change for my neighbor for $50. Anyway, shortly before Christmas they announced they were closing the...

I did some bush hogging/rough cutting/slashing whatever you want to call it this weekend.:wink: Of course, what I calling bush hogging some people refer to it as land clearing.:eek: I managed to only get stuck twice this time - both on the house side of the creek/ditch. I've attached pictures of...

Since Dad passed I've been mowing Mom's grass with their 14.5 HP B&S powered Snapper riding lawn mower that I bought for Dad back about 96 or 97. It has been a great little mower with a 38" cut - perfect for their yard. I stop last night to mow the grass as it has been 2 weeks since I mowed and...

On Jacey's thread about complications from extreme mowing, I thought he was talking about me. The grass had gotten really high because of all of the rain we've had here lately. So I used the MMM on the TC24 and mowed it last weekend. The cut looked like crap because it was so tall. Monica went...

We are having a bit of a problem. We have a creek/ditch that runs through the property. When we bought the property the realtor (and owner) told us the ditch only has water in it when it rains. After almost 12 years and 2 droughts, I have yet to see it dry. So I say it is a creek (it has minnows...
