It has been just over 2 years since I wrote my post above. Just this year, I spent $450 to have 3 piles of stumps, branches, etc hauled off. Granted I will still need to spend the $ to transport the debris away (I have use of a nice dump trailer), but I am still considering the cost...

My son mowed the yard on Monday and you can hardly tell. Bonehead

I am looking for a simple solution to my grapple needs. I have a Kubota B7610 24 hp tractor with the standard hydraulic set up. I would like some sort of grapple to pick up and transport branches (see photo below) preferably without having to install additional hydraulic plumbing as I do not...

My backhoe levers are in need of lubrication as they squeak and are more resistant to movement than they should be. The manual only mentions lubrication of the zerks, but does have an illustration of the control area. I would think that it would just be a matter of taking off the cover and...

I know that I have seen this before, but I am too lazy to search for the answer. The throttle on my B7610 us difficult to rotate, even more so than when it was new (it has always been a bit sticky). How can I lubricate it or adjust it so I can smoothly increase the throttle? Bonehead

I filled the tractor with diesel yesterday and got doused with fuel for the last time. The metal spout on my jerry can has never worked correctly and I will ceremoniously torture it when my Super Siphon arrives. Thanks for the heads up Doc! Bone

Some people have predicted that, in the not-too-distant future, long commutes will become unaffordable (amongst other changes) and thus suburban sprawl that you describe will revert back to farmland. Having lived in S. California and with family still there, I have made the drive from here to...

Thanks for the compliments. When I see pictures of other people's homes, I try to imagine what it would be like to live there. I have lived in several places, all on the west coast from here down to San Diego, and have visited many areas in the country, but I just don't have a good feel for...

Great pictures from everyone. May sound corny, but it makes one appreciate what a beautiful place we all live in. Wish I could post a picture of my tractor shed. We just had an addition made to accommodate our van and decided not to extend the structure for the tractor. Too much $$. Right...

Boy can I relate. When I'm in that situation, I do one of two things: 1) Lock myself in my office; 2) Call in to work and have them call me to come in and work for a stretch of 4 hours on a trade. If that doesn't work, I drink. Bonehead

You southerners! Lightning bold hit my neighbors tree as I was driving up the road. Sounded just like someone hitting the roof of the car with a sledgehammer! Very rare for this area. Remember: it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature! Bone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLrTPrp-fW8

Hey guys, what's for breakfast? Glad its not just me that can't log on to FF. Bone

Beautiful place you have there. Looks like you will have great weather to work during the next week or so. Bonehead

Thanks for the explanation guys. It was sleeting early on here, then the sun came out. Got some seat time for once! Bone

I see that, but this is what I am talking about (taken from FF) Bone

I have never been able to figure out why, on NTT, there is no check next to the thread title on threads where I have posted. These checks are there on FF, NCT, and NCS. Anyone know what is going on? Bone

Hey CB, are you going to get another tractor, or don't they allow those things in your new neighborhood? Bonehead

Welcome Chowhound. I like your name! Bonehead

Several years ago, one of my projects at work was to map the 675 fire hydrants in our area via GPS. This data was then used by the city to help us make hydrant maps for all the rigs. The city is also using aerial photography to help us map commercial structures to that we can come up with...

I also like the system he has for loading the logs. Many of my trees are probably too big for that machine. Bone
