Ive heard of people digging a whole, and burying their spare tire down in it with a chain through the rim.... and usin anyone evg that as an anchor point. I guess you cant pull the tire sideways through the dirt. Anyone ever tried this?

Work will find you! Make sure to never buy a trailer, as that just increases how much work you have to do for the relatives.

Always wear eye or face protection while dozing. ( trip to the ER with a scratched cornia from a tree branch last winter)

Hey folks... list something that you have learned the hard way... even tell us what happened and why we should learn from your mistake! ____________________________________ Never under any circumstances use vice grips on the end of a broken throttle cable.

A long long time ago before I became wise.... My transfer pump had just died. I tried moving fuel oil from one 265 gal tank to another by pressurizing the tank, then forcing the fuel to the other tank. It worked great for about 100 gallons. Then something either plugged the pipes, or I my pressure g...

Wow, I love the pics... good job on clearing that field too... how did you get rid of all the roots, just push the top few inches of top soil to the woods?

Don't take this for advice unless someone else vouches for it.... I had a guy with a D3 do some dozing for me before I bought my little 1010. He ran that machine out of fuel 3 times in a few days (don't ask!) Each time he would have to re-fuel the machine, then pressurize the fuel tank through a rig...

I was jump starting mine cuz the battery was shot..... the dead battery made it feel slow and run like crap. Once i changed the battery it ran like normal again. Other times ive had sticks knock the distributer off whack, and loosen spark plug wires....

Speaking of corn, looks like the crows picked out every single germinated corn i had, ate the whats left of the seed and flew away. Only a few hundred of um, but enough to get me mad.

Oh my ,if I told her that, there'd be a for sale sign on the 1010 by dinnertime! And maybe one on my head after that. Still cant get her to drive the dozer... she swung the backhoe boom around a few times though, and pulled the dump truck out a few times.

Hey delete your post before my wife reads it! If she sees one of those she wont let me buy another dozer to pull this one out next time...

Yeah it's been a nasty wet and cold year up here too... the mosquitos, ticks, and dandilions are doing well though.

Not much around for a winch to grab besides mud and loose fence posts! Could always hire the local high school wrestling team to pull you out with a rope.

Well everyone, Here's a few pictures of me getting Big Bird (its big and yellow right?) stuck along our new fence line. The other pictures are of our fence... 8ft to 10ft tall for a 800ft border. We put chicken wire a foot or 2 in the ground so the rabbits won't dig under the fence and eat our plant...

Glad to see you're ok. With all that water maybe you guys should grow cranberries or wild rice instead of sugarbeats and corn....
