We will see what the other beekeepers think of it tomorrow. It is our taste test meeting for the beekeepers association. Everybody brings 2 sample bears of their honey and we vote for it. There are always prizes and a good time. Then November we have our supper where everybody brings a dish and...

I have had a 6048 Central boiler for 7 years now and love it. If I was not heating 2 greenhouses it would not burn near as much wood. We finally got a few hours of cutting and splitting done yesterday. The youngest Amish boy was out hunting and did not help. His brother and another boy went bow...

My RTV does not see much use in the winter time. I do need to replace the 11 pin connector on my plow and pickup and I will be ready for winter. Just fixed the window in it last week. The road salt took out the metal channel for the rollers after 17 years. Damn plugs and harness will be...

When you say super trans oil are you using Kubota's SUDT or some other oil? These units need the Kubota fluid to run right.

Zoom, what did those spouts cost you? Every TSC within 100 miles shows them out of stock.

Have you tried forcing water through it with a garden hose? This will tell you if you have a problem inside the heater coil.

I would get a piece of angle the length of the bed and add a piece of tube to go down in both tubes. This would serve as the base for a pole and boom with a little hand winch spool. You want to spread out the leverage of the boom so it does not bend and tear out the Kubota tube in the bed corners.

Great to see a new generation doing something besides playing games or texting. Congrats to you and the boy!

Got my wood delivered this past week. 5 loads of logs plus about 5 pickup loads of butt pieces from cleaning up the logging loading area. The small light colored pieces are ash slab wood from the Amish sawmill. I don't want a repeat of last winter where everybody ran out and we had to fight the...

Vaseline or lube grease applied to the inside of the box will keep them from building their nests on the box.

Oh! hell no! Bill don't do well with snakes. Not going to share my space with them.:hammer::hammer:

A situation I have run into before is the clamp being used is too big for the hose diameter. It simply can not close tight enough. I try to keep a good mix of clamp sizes on hand but we all grab the closest one we have. If you have problems try a smaller clamp size.

Holy crap it is chilly for August this morning. (46) Had to turn the heat on briefly to take a shower. I like it for working even if you need a jacket. Got the posts to expand my woodshed by 10 ft. so I can keep more wood dry in case we get a winter like last year. Have 2 big truckload of slab...

Sure glad my equipment is just old enough and simple enough to not have so many issues. Farmer who hauls my slabwood has a $1/2 million silage chopper that has an electrical issue. It is only 2 years old and they are now thinking a mouse might have chewed some wiring from the multitude of...

Thanks for the input folks. If they ever get the hay made I will give it a whirl annd see how the bota does. I am hoping to sprinkle some seed in the load and spread it along with the manure so we get a better mix of grass for next year. Would love to lime the field as well but don't have the...

Do you think an rtv can handle a small ground driven spreader if I load it mostly on the rear end of the spreader? That will keep the tongue weight lighter and the field I will spread in is fairly level. My neighbor wants to give me a big pile he has and will let me use his spreader. I will have...

Cows are funny at times. My beefers will charge a bear and run them out of the pasture in a hurry but don't mind deer or turkeys much at all. They will run a big dog out and ignore the cats as well.

NAPA inline diesel filters are metal mesh. I run winter blend year round in all my diesels. When fall rolls around the Bota gets a gallon of straight Kerosene added and the backhoe gets 5 gallons as well as the tractor and skid steer. I have better things to do than deal with gelled fuel in the...

Sometimes I have to just shut my engine off and it comes right out. Usually only after having the diff lock and 4wd both engaged.

Have 2 truck loads of logs already paid for and will buy 2 more. These Amish boys can process a load a day and stack it in my woodshed. They split most of it by hand and only use my splitter for real tough pieces. I just cleaned up last years sawdust/bark with the skid steer between the support...
