    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    Crusher run is another name for 2a stone which is what I'm getting. ;) Millings have gotten really hard to get around here. I was getting it for $11/ton last year (delivered). I've had a standing order for about 8 months now for another 100 tons but just can't get it. Instead of scrapping...

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    Just spent 20 minutes on the phone with my dump truck driver (who's well versed in stone options as well as my situation). I'm going to get another 23 tons. This time 2A. Smaller product was going to be problematic as it was going to be rock, not stone and thus wont pack.

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    So far it doesn't. I've been driving the tractor over it and it just sits there and you can just kick it around with your shoes. When it's only a couple inches thick on top of my hard base, it's like walking on marbles. Almost took a header yesterday just walking on it. This is what it looks like.

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    One side of my building (where I just park trailers) is about 16'x80'. I'm just going to move it all over there for now. It's getting near impossible to get millings anymore so I may take this stone into the woods trail at some point. I did use about 4-5 ton in my new pole building. I'll order...

    Boy, did I screw up. My one stone driveway needed a new "top coat". I ordered 23 ton of 2B stone. What a shitshow. This stuff is damn near impossible to spread evenly. After several hours of trying to grade it (using multiple methods), I moved it off to the side. I'll find another use for...

    Building a Ballist box

    I'm assuming you want to offset what you're lifting with the loader. What materials are you lifting? What are you filling the ballast box with? I'd suggest using something that's easy to add and subtract from the box (steel scraps, sand, stone..., not concrete). I'd go with your current 700#...

    2 bitches today. I had 23 ton of 2B stone delivered yesterday. May be great for a garden but totally sucks as driveway material. WTF - 90+ degrees today. I'm sweating by just standing outside.

    First Tractor

    IMHO, geared tractors are more reliable. Not as fast at moving product as a hydro but they last forever. Hydro, not so much. If speed is important and you only want to keep it for the next 10 years, go hydro. If you want the tractor for 20+ years, I'd go with manual.

    Talstar - friggin great. Scythe herbicide - great but no residual so stuff comes back... It's awesome for what it kills, in minutes. Best for nostic commune. Spectracide is my go-to for easy weeds. I'll know better tomorrow but I've used this in the past with great results. I have 23 ton of...

    Engine system failure /Malfunction warning light

    Do you have a starter jumper box? If so, connect it right to the starter and get a good ground and try to start it.

    Engine system failure /Malfunction warning light

    Well that's not good. You reset it with an OBD tool? Is it giving you any other codes right now (like why it won't start)? Does it crank? Click? Dash lights on?

    Engine system failure /Malfunction warning light

    A P0204 is a pretty universal code. An internet search will give you causes and resolutions. Look on your cylinder head to see if there's markings for 1-4. It may be right in the casting.

    Smoking intake heater glow plug

    Does your tractor have individual wires going each glow plug or 1 wire to the first plug then in series to the others? If it has individual wires or if the smoking is coming from the first plug in series, did you check the temp of the wire going to the plug? If it's hot, the wire could be bad...
