4 wheeler right now, but hoping to upgrade to a side x side. More versatile, can haul more gear, carry more people, just makes sense. Does not have to go on public roads, don't have to license.

I think there is a market for them, they seem to be fairly popular. I think it is mainly the engine that remains popular of course.

I have switched a few over to T8 simply by using the appropriate electronic ballast. 'Note different wiring' I learned by trial and error to follow the wiring diagram printed on the ballast. The wiring is a bit different than with the old style ballasts.

I like the Goodyear better for offroad situations and in snow.

So there is a screened area to contain them during the day? Or do they free range away from the wagon? We've been wanting to build something similar. I've worked out a design for a screened enclosure, but am stuck on getting wheels under it while still keeping them safe from foxes & coyotes...

Sounds nice and easy to move to fresh grass. So how do you coop them up, keep them safe from predators?

Got to list the make and year of your excavator

Husqvarna all the way. Stihl saws are well made, but I have always owned Husky, right now I have 5 of them, from a 30 year old 51, which I use mostly for limbing, bucking and small falling, an even older 61 I sometimes use for bucking, a 365 & a 372 I use for falling to a 5 year old 3120 I use...

Mulching.

Not for everyone, but our homemade pizza uses grated zucchini as a crust, I read about it somewhere and suggested it to the wife as I have found the regular crust does not agree with me. This alternative is a lot lighter, less filling, I really like it.

As far as I know, there is no local butcher selling grass fed beef

Wife starts all the greenhouse veggies in trays on portable wooden shelves in our living room late Feb & early March. Outdoor garden seeds are planted first week of June, best chance of avoiding a late frost

T-bones and rib steaks, from our own grass fed herd

Hydraulic plumbing

Depends on how cold it gets where you are in Missouri. In our area, North Central B.C. frost goes down at least four feet, in an area that is not walked or driven on. As a rule, we bury water lines at eight feet, or deeper, with 2" styrofoam over it if going under a driveway. The line is more...

We are in the same boat. Getting on in age. Hey, we qualify for seniors discounts! My wife has a low stool that she sits on to tend the garden, so no kneeling. In the green house we have raised beds, so easy planting & harvesting. She likes to have a lawn, so she pushed a lawn mower around...

'Milk' stage. When you pinch the grain between your thumb and index finger, a waxy substance is produced. If no 'milk', not ready to cut. When I know our oats are close, I check them every day, and in various areas of the field. When I find that most of those sampled are in 'milk' then I know...

Will normally grow back on it's own, but it is never the same shape as the old one. I have lost several over the years, without fail the new ones are rounder, the originals were flatter

Butchering animals for the freezer

Snow is deep. Cabin fever for sure. Nothing much to get ready, machinery is serviced in the fall, usually. What is not ready will be done in late March, early April, when the snow melts enough to get machines out of Quonset storage. Depends on how persistent mud season is, could add a few days...
