I have dug several hundred feet of trench with my BX22. I never turn the seat around. I raise the bucket to clear the ground raise the stabilizers enought to clear the ground and simply reach back with my arm and press the hydro pedal takes longer to type than to do it. I have found it digs better if you keep the bucket as far to the rear as you can and still dig.

There was a guy on one of the "Off Grid " forums that had a diesel generator to supply power to his house. He claimed to burn nothing but used ATF fluid that he got for free from the trammission shops.

I do not care what tractor you buy but get it with a loader it is the single most useful accessory there is. I would consider mine worthless with out the loader.

I have a land pride ph10 on my BX it fits perfectly. I think it is very similar to the woods. I usually dig at just above idle. There is no need to run the thing wide open to dig post holes. It is either going to dig or not dig depending on how hard the ground is. I reccommend you by it with carbide tips if you are going to dig in hard ground.

My wife drives 23 miles of dirt road every day. She has a chev Avalanche it may be bigger than you want but she loves the thing it is two years old and never had a wrench put on it. The chev Colorado is similar just one size smaller.

My bank does the same. They tell me 10 days but I usually find the funds in the account in 3 or 4 days. I deposited a couple of 40000 and 50000 ones though and they had have a 10 minute conference before they would even except the things.

Your situation is very common here in Az. Most do what you are going to do and pump to a storage tank and use a seperate pressure pump. I do the same thing all with solar pumps. There are special pump controllers that will sense the water level of the well and just pump when there is water in the well. Using one of those will almost always keep your storage tank full.

When I built my house last year I had to run 800ft undergroud from the main line to a transformer in my yard a 10,00 volt line. The power company laid the line and just rolled it off the reel right into the ditch no conduit. Do not know what kind of wire it was about 5in in diameter. They did the same with the line from the transformer to the house panel 220v just rolled it off and buried it.

I do not know what 7 ac would rent for in Pa but I if you do not use it I would consider renting it. I would do it for a 6 months or a year to start with. I would just draw up a simple contract where he is responsible for the fence and the animals. If he has to build the fence he might insist on a year contract just to make sure he does not build you a free fence. If you ever hauled water to animals you would gladly provide the water. I doubt you are talking about more than 25 gallon a day, so if you want charge a little for the water you could. I would bet once you get used to the horses being there if you ae any kind of animal lover you will be petting them in a week. You also may find the the horses run the gophers and ground hogs off just by stepping on their holes.

Akkk My 2001 half ton is only rated to carry 700lbs in the bed. I might put two of them in there but not 4. I also think you would be over the rear axel weight limit. It should be posted on the door jam or in the glove box.

Well my manual does not specify with oil filter. It says 2.6 crankcase capacity. That is what mine takes with out filter. If I change filter it takes about 1 guart more.

First. Satellite is not broad band. It is high speed internet. Second they all have limits on how much you can down load (unless you buy the commercial package). If you have any other choice, dsl, wisp, cable it is better and cheaper. I have direcway. It is probably the best choice for individuals who have no other option. I have no phone line thus no other option. Starband is primarily a business service. Wild blue is an unknown. If you go here and read a while it will answer most of your questions.

My thoughts, the Simplicity is not any where close to the same class as the Deere or Kobota. I have a bx22. I just today looked at a Deere 2210 at the home show. I would buy the Deere.

This is a common and recurring problem. I simply found that it does not hurt any thing to leave the thing broke.

The going rate around here in southern Arizona is about 185 to 200 a month for full board and about half that if the owner feeds and cleans. The really fancy places in Tucson and Phoneix are getting a lot more. I have friends who board horses and they will only do the full board as they had problems with owners who would not feed on time or clean daily. It is a lot of work and you got to do it every day or find some one to do it for you. I too have thousands of ac of state land bordering my property but it is illegal for me to craze it with out a lease. I do ride on it but again technically I am supposed to have a permit from the state to do so. $20 a year. I have never heard of any one being ask for the permit except on the federal land. I do not know what kind of grass you have but I need a good 20 ac per horse unless you want it grazed down to look like the moon.

Well I thought the same way when I bought my BX22 but I use it every day for almost any of the things in your list. I can do things by myself using the tractor that I could never do alone. Just lifting and moving things makes it worth while.
