When I got the little kubota tractor, it had a piece of c-channel bolted on the front as a makeshift bumper. Due to lack of radiator protection, the radiator was damaged when I got it and the tractor overheated. After replacing the radiator I decided to build a proper bumper that I could...

Able to toss a roll of barb wire on them to unroll while building fence.

Shortly after getting our land/tractor, the box blade broke and sat in the field for a few years. I just bought a different one and used it instead. One of my first projects was repairing it, but the repair lasted less than a year. Over Thanksgiving break I decided to take it down and rebuild...

Im still burning rod with a free lincoln tombstone...

Mine can go from horizontal to vertical, so if I am on a bunch of heavy rounds I just switch positions. I have seen the setups you described, it would be nice but I just dont use enou GB h wood to justify one.

Here is one of mine

All of mine were just a piece of flat bar welded on with a hole and a support under it. Works fine on my small box blades, on the larger box blade it I am either scraping the ground or I cant see the ball...

If it is crazy, but works, its not crazy...in the end all that matters is if it is safe, is useful, and works... I may tack on a piece of pipe to hold a pair of loppers.

When I first moved to the country, I read of what happens if you keep a chain on the tractors footboards and it falls off into a brush hog...i had a chain holder made out of pvc and secured to the fender...but it broke after years of abuse... While using the tractor yesterday I was going to get...

Making a smoke out of a propane tank is one of my dreams...kinda jealous...maybe someday, plenty of other projects on the burner now though

I recently did some general maintenance on mine...while I had it by the garage I remembered I had been wanting a side table...$70-100 online and light duty...used some scrap angle iron and rebar to make one. Doing firewood last weekend made me really glad I did...

Yesterday I had an excavating company building a pad for my wifes new goat shed...today they are finishing up, a plumber will be repairing the unknown propane line they hit, and then I get to do 150 feet of 2" electrical pipe in the ditch...yay vacation

All, Thanks for the wonderful comments and discussion...I figured Inwould be an oddball by going propane.

The guys at the store said acetylene was 2:1, propane 3 or 4 to 1...

One difference is the grade of hose. From what I read, propane has more oils and can cause hose dry rot...so you have to have T grade hoses. Also, if your gauges have a rubber diaphragm it would need to be rated for LP.

For the initial up front cost, the propane kit was more expensive, but I did not have to buy the acetylene tank...that was a big factor for me...for occasional use, I think it will be a great fit for me. I did look at oxy acetylene setups for sale on facebook, but I was just too scared to drop...

I am slowly expanding my farm shop setup. This week I added an oxy propane torch to the shop. Victor torch with the edge 2 gauges. I went with propane because I always have tanks so I wouldnt have to buy an acetylene tank, and it is cheap to fill. I know it uses more oxygen, but just made...

Getting the log splitter ready and remembered I had been wanting a log table to make life easier. Reviews online said the one sold for my splitter was flimsy... My wife said my wish list was bigger than my wallet... So I went to the metal pile and came up with a sturdy one using angle iron...

My dad was moving and had a set off his dodge charger that would fit...they look a little weird on it but it rides higher now...

My dad is moving to the city so he sent his little John Deere 650 to my place. He also sent an old ammo crate... Tge tractor didnt have any place to store stuff like a chain, pins, tools, or other regular stuff nedded in the field. So, I just started making a bracket to make a bolt on tool...

No worries, I have been outside wrestling a tree for next years firewood. Its pretty ealy in the year but I want to clear a lot of fence line this season for some new goat pens next spring.

Yeah, Oklahoma doesnt really get that bad and for occasional use, 3 to 5 rick is plenty and I can get all I need clearing fence lines...I can imagine having to keep up with that much firewood, almost a full time job.

I remember ice storms here in Oklahoma as a kid and going without power for two weeks. Then in 2007, Oklahoma got hit by two really bad ice storms. My house in the city was without power for 7 days, straight out of college it was a learning experience. When we moved to the country in 2012, a...

Heres a pic

I loaded it up this weekend, smaller bay for smaller pieces, larger for the bigger stuff, didnt bend or deflect any.

My 7 year olds broke our lowes firewood rack...it was always a bit flimsy...so, I ran to the local supply shop and got some material to build this monstrosity. 2x1x1/8 channel iron base, 1.5x3/16 angle for uprights. 8 feet overall length. I hit it a few times with the sledge hammer...lets see...

Friday, I got a new axle from my local dealer. Put on some facebook marketplace tires and it rolled for the first time in decades. Todsy, I loaded all the fencing supplies on it and parked it... Calling the project done...for now at least

I built a boom pole and regretted waiting so long to build it since I did.

Ok, just curious, will most of the weight ride on the 5" frame while it is being moved?

How are you supporting it on the underside?

I decided to fix it up for an around the farm trailer, setting it up to do fence projects. I have decided it will never leave the property or see a highway ever again. I removed four feet off the back end where it was broken. I then filled in the center section. I used rustoleum rusty primer...

I was cleaning on my garage and the grinder was in an awkward place on the bench, using up a lot of surface space while in the way. I had looked at a harbor freight stand but remembered I had a spare tire rim that was scrap...It was a quick little project and I liked it so much I made one for...

I did buy a HF band saw to make life easier...so it wasn't completely free...

Built a 7' boom pole from scrap metal. Just had to buy the pins.

I had not considered that, thanks for the advice

This trailer was ledt by the previous owner on my property...the 15" osage orange tree in the center of it tells me it probably hasnt moved in a few decades. It has a lot of damage and I am not interested in repairing it, but would rather repurpose the metal. I want to make a boom pole and...

30 acres in Oklahoma, 15 minutes from walmart

I recently got a Lincoln AC225 that I gave a fresh coat of paint and new cord. I had some scrap metal around and decided I needed a cart for it. It was a good learning project. I have also repaired a box blade and angle blade.
