Tractor Pics Haven't posted in a while, but here are some pictures of the Branson 2810 I bought last summer. Nick

You're right, the only activity that's inspected in this very rural area is burying the main electric feed cable (in heavy conduit) from the street utility pole to the transformer, and then from the transformer to the meter. After that you're on your own - zero building codes; so you have to...

I want to run electricity to a building on my property. It's about 150 feet from the power source to the building. I want to use a heavy gauge wire, enclosed in plastic conduit in a two-three foot deep trench. Unfortunately, the property sits on an expansive rock ledge so I might not be able to...

Erik, Coincidentally, I happened to look at a new 3510h Branson before I bought the used 2810. The 3510h was the hydrostatic version as I recall. It had some nice features that I would have liked, but of course a new tractor was considerably more money than the used one I bought. Nick

Branson Tractor Pix Got a chance to take some pictures of the Branson tractor last week. Used it to pull some fallen trees, move cut limbs and trunks to a burning area, and tend the bonfire. Also used the pallet forks to move some large logs. Used the bushhog to cut grass along the roads...

After literally months of looking, I finally bought a used tractor that I think I'll be happy with. It's being delivered later this week. I like a lot of the Branson's features, but most of all I like the weight of it. I believe it weighs in at 3700 pounds - considerably more than some of the...

Yes, it was a looker alright! One of the nicest looking machines I've seen. I'd feel bad when I put a few scratches on it! :wink:

Must say that I liked this tractor. Priced less than comparably sized Kubotas, but I think the K's had a few more features. Still have to look at a few others before making final decision though - getting close now!!!

OK Thanks, I see it now. Yes, the sales fellow did say the second two digits designate the series, while the first two digits are approx gross horsepower.

Still looking at various tractor brands. Went to a Kubota dealer today. I like several of the the Kubota features. Dealer had a L3240 HST, equipped with a LA514 Loader. He quoted a price of $19.5K which sounds a little high to me. When I got home I went to the Kubota web site, but could not...

Well the NTT 'Favicon' is back again! Makes it easier to identify. I have too many 'Bookmarks' (aka 'Favorites') on my computer - I need to start weeding some out that I never use anyway. Nick

Never knew what a 'Favicon' was until you mentioned it, and I did a Google search. I was wondering why the NTT icon on my computer had suddenly gone to a generic form. I thought it was just my computer acting up. Nick

Hey Doc, We're in Georgia, so we're a few weeks ahead of you. If we don't get some rain though, the garden will be short lived again this year. Very strict outdoor watering rules in effect - 25 minutes of watering with a hand held hose, 3 days a week, between the hours of 4AM and 9AM. No...

A few pix of our 'Square Foot Garden". It's small, but we have fun growing our 'crops'. The idea is to make use of every square foot of space. We've been doing this with varying degrees of success for several years. One problem that we've run into with everything being so close together is a...

I guess I got in on this late - but it sounds like you're taking the 'bull by the horns' alright! That high blood sugar only complicates other issues, good job getting numbers much lower! Glad to hear you're on the mend:wink:

Hey Mark, I don't like that snake activity one bit - gives me a very uncomfortable feeling!! Discounting the snakes, I would think you're really in a good situation though, in that you already have a pond. I would think you'd just need to drain it somehow, let it dry out, then get it cleaned out...

I would like to build a pond on some land I own. The area I'm thinking about is naturally low lying, and fed by small streams that run most of the time (especially for several days after a rainstorm). I can make the pond pretty much any size, but I'm thinking about 250 feet wide, and 4-500 feet...

Beautiful job - that is a work of art. I thought that little tractor in the first picture was brand new! I liked the way you remembered to take pictures at different stages. I always intend to do that on some of my wood working projects, but usually get 'caught up in the moment' and forget to...

ATVs We have two Honda ATVs. One is a 350 Rancher, the other a 250 Recon. They're both 2WD, and both are ES models. I bought them used, last year, along with an aluminum trailer that will carry both. Both ATVs are very 'stock'. The only thing I've done is install a Warn winch on the Rancher. I...

Congratulations on the retirement, Fred. I'm in a similar boat, in that I don't yet have a tractor (of any kind) - but I'm looking. I do have some acreage in Tennessee though that we'll hopefully move to one day. We looked at some land in northern Alabama in fact, but decided on TN since there's...
