Tractors, Mowers, Chippers, Trailers, Chainsaws, Generators, Driveway Erosion Control, ETC.

I got a couple of my trailers switched over today, I did not register my truck, cause I have DV plates, and having free tolls and parking out weighs the thought of getting farm truck plates at a reduce price.

 

Can you get permanent trailer tags there? We can here as long as it doesn’t have living quarters in it. They’re around $100, one time fee as long as you own the trailer. Non transferable.

 

I don't think so, one tag is good for 5 years, good for trailers under 7k gross IIRC

 

One sticker/plate will have to be renewed again in July, she said the computer would not refund my existing regular plate or issue the full year for the new farm plate. I spent $32.75 in total.

 

I ask one of our customers one day what kind of mileage he got. He said “dang if I know, when it gets empty, I fill it up”.

 

I agree. I bought the Tacoma because I figured it was small and would be good in gas. It wasn’t terrible on gas but not much better than a full size. So I ended up grabbing this ‘05 2500HD with 65k miles for pulling my trailers and tree farm stuff. Then I sold the Taco for a little Bronco Sport. That little bastard is getting me over 37mpg on the highway and 29-30 around town.

 

Found the tractor thread!!! Have a kubota bx23s w backhoe, grapple, root ripper, etc.. love it and already put 100 hrs on in the last 8 months. That's a lot for a home tractor....only have 4 acres...lol.

Worthless post without pic!

 

Yeah, its a bit of a unicorn. Rubber floor, manual everything but alloy wheels. It was a special order truck and it came with every receipt and the window sticker.

 

Welcome Nice tractor!

 

Welcome! More pics!! Lol nice place

 

@ColoradoTJ I think I may have took on another side project making a good friend a fork frame so I ask my buddy at powdercoat if his forklift guy had any forks. He said I could have this rusty set if I come get them. The guy who wants me to make it said he had a or two to trade

I tell you this cause I know you are still looking for a fork frame

 

Nice unit. How many cubic feet is the backhoe bucket/scoop? I'd like my next tractor to have a backhoe, but the buckets on some of the compact hoes are hilariously small.

I've only got a little under 3 acres, but I probably put 200hrs a year on my compact, and am considering getting something bigger

Although I suppose with the camp I've technically got like 3.5 acres. Now that I think about it, I bet that 30 of last year's hours were just from running the tractor back & forth from camp to home, haha!

 

We live on 1.2 acres and have 4 tractors

That doesn't include the 3 lawn mowers and miniature tractor

 

I said after the last fork frame I wasn't making anymore but when he said Colt, police, and .38 in the same sentence I changed my mind

 

Best thread on TW for sure.
