Pretty dumb question but I'll ask anyway. A lot of times the remote hydraulics on my JD are pressured up and I can not plug in my implement. To make matters worse, sometimes the implement hydraulics are also pressured up. My solution has been to loosen the fittings on the hydraulic lines to...

I would have thought staying at home and maintaining "social distancing" would have started a lot of conversation. Not so. No new posts here and very little elsewhere. What's going on? Pick a subject. Lets yak about it.

Had a strange thing happen the other day. The wife and I were at the local community college signing up for some CEU's when I asked about teaching opportunities. I wrote down a few notes about what subject I would be willing to teach and gave it to the registrar assistant. The next morning I...

The random phone calls I am getting is driving me nuts (not too far to drive). What really ticks me off is that no one will do anything about it. I've talked to our local AG without a successful resolution and AT&T act like they don't know anything about. I am on local, state and national no...

Just finished reading the post on "Rotary Mowers" and it's kinda interesting the equipment brand differences between what you folks use where you are and us folks down South. For example, you folks talk about using 16' mowers (or bigger) and cutting a 100 acres a day. Don't know how you do that...

There was a fellow over on the other board who was my cyber pen pal. He's gone now and his insightful posts will be missed. So long, Dun.

A subject not too many folks talk about - maybe ashamed and I was just wondering what you do with yours. Keep in mind we have no garbage pick up, the ranch is a little bit remote (not like some of your spreads) and you can't bury it - at least not according to the EPA. Last year my wife wanted...

Something that happens once in 20 or 30 years - snow in SE Texas. I know snow is nothing new or interesting to most of you but to those of us who live south it's quite a sight. We had about 4 inches at our place last night. Beautiful!

This is going to be a rant so just pass it by if you don't want to read it. First, let me say I'm probably just as compassionate for my fellow human being as the next person. I helped with the rescue after Harvey, donated toys to some needy kids, etc. I have mixed emotions about the immigrants...

I'm getting old (already am) and it's getting harder to hook up my 3-point equipment to the tractors. Seems like every piece of equipment is a different width? So my question is - how many of you use a quick hitch and what is the good, bad and ugly. I realize it's not going to help with the PTO...

I see a few posts here that deals with music, tunes for the day, etc. Are there any Ricky Scaggs fans? Emmylou Harris? There's a young lady (last name Osburn) who picks the heII out of a banjer - started playing when she was 4 YO. Then there's the sleepy time boys. Bunch of really young talent...

Anyone know anything about subject? I just had a teacher explain some of the concepts of common core math and I'm not so opposed to the method as I used to be. The technique uses the same principal as used in electronic analog to digital conversions. And has been for several decades. I just...

I guess most of us own at least one chain saw. I have two Stihl's, one about 30 YO and the other about 5 YO. Both saws were in the shop a few weeks ago because I couldn't get either one started. Was told it was bad gas (Ethanol). Used the new one time when I got it out of the shop and put it...

As I mentioned before we just came back from a trip to South Dakota and while on the trip we saw a lot of what looked like self propelled hay mowers. They looked like miniature combines but with a cutter bar on the front instead of a combine. What are these machines and what are their purpose...

Wow, it's still going on over at Cattle Today. A bunch of folks who think their word is gospel and everybody should agree with them. The subject this time is the chemical plants along the SE Texas coast being stinky and ugly. Those who object to the plants should not go there! Don't look! There...

Just got home from a two weeker up to Wy, Sd, Ne, Ks an OK. Really glad to see Tx again. Praying for rain at the ranch and we got it - 25" worth and it's still raining. Eye went right over my place. Don't know how much damage yet. Got a oak tree thru my roof at home though. Tree folks are here...

Yesterday afternoon I was working on a waterer for my girls and walked by the corner of the shop carrying a few tools when out of nowhere something hit me in the side of the head just above the temple. Within a few seconds I found myself on my knees feeling like I was having a heart attack...

For several years I have been saying this country is headed to another civil war. It would appear that we are getting closer to the inevitable.

Just got a glimpse of the new proposed tax code and it really is pretty simple. Only one question. "How much do you make, send it in."

How many of you have or have had a problem getting the console open on your GM pickup? I have a new, top of the line GMC that the console latch failed on. I took it in yesterday to get it fixed and while I was waiting there was another gent came in with the same problem. Two people with the same...
