Tbear,

I was responding to Kthompsons comment about a cheating spouse and autocomplete in spellcheck on computers. I typed STD (sexually transmittied Disease) instead of STP, and the puns were my attempt at humor along those lines.

I like your idea and I am going to try your approach with my waste oil this year with the STP you used not the STD in my bungled humor :-(

All the 3PH that I know of have no down pressure, they use the weight of the implement and the draft to bite into the earth. I think they do make a power beyond that could put a hydraulic cylinder to manipulate the implement.

I tried to get the cap no go. But I could get a cap if I bought the Gas Tank Assembly. :-)

Thought I would just screw the new cap from the new tank and screw it on the old tank.

Nope new cap only fits new tank.

Installed new tank with new hoses and new tank filter it came with.

Filled her up with gas.

Hmmm running good for about 20 minutes then it started to bogg again. Lossened the cap and it cranked up to speed. Also noticed if I tilt it on my back so the cap side is elevated that helps it speed up.

So sadly I think I am no where on this.

Should I go one more step and get a new carbureter, but I just do not see how it could run great, then not , then tilt or lossen cap to run great again.

Maybe saying she wants to go equipment heaven :-(

[QUOTE=Skyler;199759] Well my crabgrass and most other warm weather weeds have succumbed to the first frost.I have read that Fall fertilizing is the best thing to strengthen cold season grasses. [/QUOTE]

Interesting!

I just fertilized the lawn thinking exactly what you said the weeds are dead and I want to encourage the cold season grasses to strengthen while the weeds are asleep.

Hoping it helps!

Well spring 2021 came and I went out and marked all the low spots with red spray paint before the grass started to grow.

The my wife started nagging me about hiring out carpentlry and painting on the house which was a challenge with the pandemic.

Yup grass grew before I filled the posts and paint marks quickly dissappeared.

A month ago I had another project to fill an embankment with 10 yards of top soil. So I had some left over an I used it to fill some of the pot holes using my knowledge of where I am bouncing the most on the tractor and then walking it and staking each spot with a snow driveway marker.

I just leveled each spot with a hand rake, while some deep none that wide.

The dirt I got while topsoil rated was mostly clayish, not really meant for leveling methods in this thread.

I know a supplier that has a better topsoil mix for leveling with tools. But I think I am fine for now and can live with the bumpiness that remains.

I saw a Gannon Rollover box on a youtube video. It is like a box scraper but with a very interesting innovation. Instead of having a rigid box with removable adjustable scarifiers it has a rotating assembly that you switch by lifting the implement and rotating the scarifiers out of the way.<br>
<br>
This in principal sounds like a brilliant idea!<br>
<br>
The question is does this ease of change compromise the integrity so that the ease becomes pointless.<br>
<br>
Love to hear from anyone who has one before I go searching for one :-(<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

I always think of tillers as good for garden use, but can or should they be used for lawn renovation? Where you have a leveling problem in the existing area.<br>
<br>
My fear is that the yard has lots of stone and while tilling would help would it create more work in the end?<br>
<br>
Probably a rock hound would be ideal ? but very costly? And do way too much damage to viable surrounding turf .<br>
