I love the pallet rack idea. We have a auction yard just down the road from our farm and I see that stuff in there all of the time. Goes dirt cheap, too....... It's very easy to put up, too. Ideas, ideas.........(y)

A little off road diesel "accidentally" spilled on that stuff works wonders.......:notthatway:

If you want to save some money and get a product that works much better than consumer oriented weed killers, go down to your local CO-OP or what ever farm store you have in your area and purchase fence row vegetation killer. It will be in the Farm Chemical section, not the "Lawn and Garden"...

About 10 years ago, we had an ancient scaley bark hickory right next to the house. In a storm, it lost a massive branch, which landed on the roof of our house.. Had to have the roof replaced and I cut down any tree that was within the falling radius of the house.

I spent the day on the CTL, exploding trees in the woods with the new brush cutter. Early this evening, my wife called on the phone and told me to get my donkey in the house, pronto. By the time I got up to the house, the bottom fell out of the clouds with a burst of rain. I hadn't been in...

OK, well seeing the schematic shows the sensor utilizes a NPN transistor, I mentioned the ground connection. Using an ohm meter, check the resistance from the 3rd pin to the chassis ground. If you are getting more than a few ohms of resistance to chassis or an intermittent connection, you...

It looks like that sensor goes to the ECU, before the ECU outputs a signal to the gauge on the cluster. To test a MRE type sensor, you will need access to an oscilloscope to check that signal for proper pulsing. It also looks like power for the sensor comes through several harness connectors...

With having both excavators and CTL's on the farm off and on through the years, you have to look at what machine would get more use. What attachments are available for each machine. Which machine is gonna give you the biggest bang for your buck. Will you likely jump in the excavator to do a...

This cutter is a 72". You can also get it in a 78". The price for the high flow cutter was a little over $10k. Ordered it from the factory 3 weeks ago. I have the hydraulic Quick Attach built into the CTL. So it is just a matter of flipping the switch to unlock and lock the bucket or cutter...

This was a 12" diameter cedar stump that stuck up out of the ground about 8". I have been mowing around this damn thing for about 15 years. If you know anything about Eastern Red Cedar, it petrifies when it dies. Hard as a damn rock. Lawn mower blade twisting devil. Sat the brush cutter...

Ok, here is some pictures I took of about 3/4 of an acre I cleared yesterday afternoon with the new brush cutter. This whole area was dense eastern cedar ranging fro 15' to 25' tall. Trunks were any where from 6 inches to 10 inches in diameter. It took about an hour of leisurely clearing to...

I ran a 299D3 last fall with just a bucket on it here on the farm. She had plenty of power, but it had the 110HP engine in it instead of the 75HP that is in my 289D3. The extra power was nice, but she was a thirsty girl and she required DEF. It has a 32 gallon fuel tank on it and I was...

Possibly, Doc. That is the bet that I took when I bought the CTL and ordered the brush cutter. I looked at an excavator and a drum mulcher to go on it, but for my land, it's elevations and steepness, the plans I have for cleanup of my forest, the CTL with the brush cutter made more sense. I...

Here she is. She is a dirty girl after using her all weekend. She is an absolute beast. The brush cutter is supposed to show up tomorrow from the MFR.
