I would've though one of them had one. Both were willing to lend it to me, but neither had one. I guess I'm the first in the country to do it.:pat: Still looking at ZTRs, but probably won't happen this year. Those still researching and looking. Was close to pulling the trigger on an Exmark last...

Haven't had a chance to get pictures yet. But Monica and I finally poured the concrete for the milk room, storage area, and feed storage area. Didn't turn out quite like I hoped, but not bad either for just the two of us. She has no concrete experience and I've done a couple small jobs. 4.5...

Well, the story continues. I've not had any more issues with the hydraulics that I listed above. They have worked fine other than my loader has been a bit slow, but after taking it off Friday and putting it back on yesterday it is now back to normal speed. I finally got around to ordering the...

Actually where the rain hasn't stopped it pretty much washed the trailer and then I took the truck and trailer on a 4 hour round trip last Saturday in the rain. That pretty much washed everything out from underneath. Just a little "stain" on the bottom of the doors of the truck now.:a1: We are...

You know, sometimes things just don't go as planned. With the snow/rain freeze/thaw cycles we've had the past few weeks, the yard has been pretty muddy. Last week we needed hay for the goats, I knew I couldn't take the trailer so I just took the truck and got 20 bales. So it had dried out some...

That is for sure Brian. The day the one doe gave us quad bucks we were super thrilled, but then the next day when we lost 3 of them we were totally bummed and frustrated and second guessing ourselves of what we had done wrong. We have to quit beating ourselves up so much. Don't want to say we...

Well the concrete pour didn't happen - at least yet. We hit a really bad rainy season and then it got really cold and we keep getting snow and then thaw and then snow....no way to get a truck to the barn. Combine that with the fact that we are in full fledged kidding season now, I actually had...

I bought my New Holland in June of 2003. It had less than 1 hour on it when purchased. It now has 1958. Hour use was real high at first, lots of stuff needing done. Then backed off a bit. Then I built my first building and hauled a lot of fill in and put a bunch of hours on it. Then they...

Wow, that is incredible. We have a 12'x12' and 2 4'x8' sliders and a 3' man door. Haven't had any issues with any of them opening or closing except when the goats drop too much poop and straw in front of the 4' :shitHitsFan: and it freezes. :blob_blue: No problems with the man door at all. First...

I had asked the builder about concrete around the posts, he (Amish) said it wasn't necessary. I know the concrete can promote rot (at least according to some), but I would have felt better with a piece of rebar sticking through the bottom of the post and concrete poured around it. But I did...

I've formed the area where the crete is going to go, just need to add some supports to it to keep it from bowing - well, once the weather changed our plans, we took a couple of the forms back down. They were where I wanted them and level, just had to stake them in with some pins. Already have a...

OK guys, looking for a little bit of advice. We started to pour some concrete for the milk room, storage area, and then a feed storage area while we were on Christmas break. But we got a ton of rain and left everything muddy to the point that there was no way I could get a truck in. Now, I'm...

Oh, and to follow up on my Oct. 2nd thread. Crown is officially for sale. He has hit Monica and myself too many times. He had Monica pinned in a corner last Tuesday and wouldn't let her out. Then yesterday he had me pinned in a corner and wouldn't let me out. I had to call for help for Monica...

First good news, I've finally finished the wiring in the barn. Everything in PVC conduit. Basically 3 circuits for outlets, each being 20 amp w/ 12/2 wiring. One circuit per wall and an outlet on every pole. I'll get some pics later, but on the West wall close to the breaker box there is a 20...

I didn't get any pictures of the girls between the rain and getting distracted by 50 other things, but I did get some pictures of the bachelors and their bachelor pad. First picture is of Crown Royal, we call him Crown. He is the little guy we went out to Iowa to pick up back in the first part...

I forgot to post some results, we did very well at shows this year. We had Grand Champion Lamancha and Reserve Grand Champion Lamancha at the State fair in the youth show. We also had Reserve Grand Champion Lamancha in the Open Show there. I also think we had Grange Champion Jr. Alpine and Jr...

Yep, she was pregnant by both Nite and Max. While it not rare, it is kind of uncommon for them to get pregnant by two bucks at the same time. We ended up selling all 3 of the does to a family in West Virginia. Made pretty decent money on them - at least enough to pay for Skylar's food and...

This sounds pretty neat and a good idea - in certain locations. Like others, I would be afraid of the snow on the plastic, but I think the bigger issue would be ground water. I know I've had holes open for various projects around here and with a matter of a couple days the hole may or may not be...

Well now I'm even more confused, I just went out to try to put the tractor away. All of sudden the MMM came up. It then starting working just fine. I drove it around the yard a couple of times and kept putting raising and lowering and it worked just fine. The adjustment lever has the normal...

I give up, I'm about ready to drive my tractor off a cliff. Started mowing today a small section so that Monica could set some stuff out for a yard sale. When I finished that section I went to raise the MMM up so I could cross the driveway. The 3pt hitch won't move....GRRRRRR:angry3: The fluid...
