Westy, HOw do you get the independent action with stock FEL hydraulics? I was going to consider making one out of truck rims, but your design seems way slicker and the way to go. I am also fairly interested...If they really are south of $1000....HOw much is the 4000 series Or how do I get...

Serious operations run tubing from tree to tree and pull a vacum to suck the sap to central holding tanks and then after filtering, they will reverse osmosis to take out 60+% of the water before boiling. HOwever lots of folks swiched over from wood to oil or propane in recent years to finish...

George, What do you think of it? If you had to do it all over again would you???

let me try that again..hope you can see the wheels this time. Keep in mind the chix have to survive the winters around here, that is why my coop is the best insulated structure on the property (for now) I was going to build an 8X10 coop, but I had some 11 and 13 foot beams laying around and...

If you look close, you can see, I built my coop on old JD steel mower wheels, but I think the coop is a little big to haul around these days. My chix I got this fall should be coming on line any day now...

Yes, 6 footer all the way...and get the heaviest duty one you can...My 34 horse tractor has beat the crap out of a blade supposedly rated to 40 horse.

Mith, The hydrostatic cub cadets have a linkage that helps reduce the "thrown over the bonnet" effect. I cant describe it very well and I dont have any pictures, but i bet a web search might give you some ideas. It has the linkage slide around in a spring loaded groove to absorb sudden...

Paul, Paul, Paul, But in the "Peoples Rebublic of Vermont" you have about every other rule law and tax that Massachussets has.... Over here I say live free AND die. I have buillt a few things that supposedly required permits, but the permits only serve to notify the tax man and you can do...

Well by golly I guess your machine can run it! Do you have remotes? If the price is right I would give it a go...sure beats a shovel! BUt at those gpm rates dont go contract a full basement job. I have dial up so I didnt venture to the kelly site, must be a pretty small hoe.

OHio, As already implied by Paul, I doubt your stock hydraulics are up for running the rig, but then again I doubt any cat 0 machne has hydraulics up for the task, which surprises me it doesn't already have a pump, so it may be worth comparing what your machine puts out and what thet hoe...

NOt bad, I have experienced most of those things. In fact I no longer wear welding gloves for the reason noted above.

I will say you might influence me to paint more...they rusty patina doesn't have the same zip anymore...

Sweet!

I know that trouble PB, I cant justify having my truck, but I dont know what I want to replace it with and I am spoiled by being able to do anything with mine. Vacation with the family, haul; gravel and firewood fror my grandmother when on vacation with my family. buy a cheap brush hog I see...

Hey, I have an 02 f-350 doublecab 7.3 myself...mine is a dually flatbed, (I think there is a shot of it in my dumptruck thread) but the same rig. If you drive it much think about chipping it for economy, and I have been running mine on homemade biodiesel w/out troubs

Mobo, It wouldn't let me rep you, but I really like it. I am seriously considering switching over to round bales next year and it looks like your deal could help me with that.

Nica, We got about 40 2 years back and recently got another load. Our plan is to reload every year and keep them for two years (in seperate pens) so we are always in eggs, Definatly research artificial lighting to keep them laying. BUt be careful, a chicken can live over 20 years, but...

Interesting how California is #2 for both worst and best drivers

MObilius, I think a certian percentage of that sawdust and poo is still mixed with cattle grain. They can't mix cattle or sheep by products anymore thanks to mad cow concerns, but chicken "stuff" is still OK.

Mobilius, I like how he even states he wants rhoad island reds...and laying.... Is everyone in Texas like that??? Redbug, Those thighs are probably male, but from a "meat bird" breed. MOdern chicken breeds have been genetically engineered to grow bigger faster with less "inputs"(ie...
