    Food riots thread…and energy.

    Lawn service to come out where I live would run me $200-$250 a month. That’s why I bought the 23hp little compact to begin with. Figured if I used it just once a month it more than paid it’s way. It’s upgrade time now. I like the bigger 57hp. It’s way more bang for the buck and capable of...

    Food riots thread…and energy.

    Yeah but maneuvering 5000lbs on the lawn around the wife’s flowers can be a bit life endangering. That and a 84” cat2 finish mower is a good bit more expensive when a cat1 implement is more than adequate. Now if I can find work to do with a tractor that big I’m all in!

    Food riots thread…and energy.

    Well then why haven’t I answered my simple question…… do I buy the 40hp cab tractor or one frame size larger 57hp cab tractor??? Both are overkill for my 3 acres and my 1/2 acre garden. My current 23hp open station works, I want a cab to get out of the FL bugs which means 40hp class. No I’m...

    Hypothetically, even if they got shut down completely in FL, they still have locations in other states and countries to maintain cash flow.

    Compact Tractor Recommendations

    Did you not read any of the prior comments before your necro posting. The whole thread is discussing compact and light utility tractor usage. Think we understand it’s not just for mowing the grass. Now for something actually useful and content relevant. Kens Bolt on Hooks work really good...

    So by “real mechanic” are you inferring to over glorified parts changer? If so, yes huge difference. In the context of your original post, mechanic/technician is merely semantics. Nope, Knipex Cobra pliers, hate the slip joint Alligator’s. They always seem to find the right angle to slip out...

    Recession - 2022 / 2023 / 2024

    The economy will tank, hard. Only questions are when and what kicks it off. As far as I can see the brakes are permanently off the roller coaster now. None of the past inflation fighting tools can be used. https://usdebtclock.org/ The US debt to GDP is 138% upside down. Even the slightest...

    Any Tampa local with enough land to shoot??

    I live over in Lakeland and in the same boat as you. I got 130ish in the backyard right now. Will have 200 if I can ever get the fence finished. I made the hike down to Manatee a few times recently and it’s a fairly nice place.

    Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

    Mine shoots meh, needs a new barrel. Plus it’s only a FN PBR, non factory accurIzed version of the SPR. It shoots great pushing hand loaded Berger 185 Juggernauts hard. Regular Federal Gold Metal Match is a 2” group. Currently playing around with some Hornady 168 ELD-M’s.
