My 790 is 4 wheel drive,and is small enuf to carve through the woods fine , but with 9 food plots, some as large as 4 acers. I still think a larger model would fit the bill better.allowing you to pull larger imps to make and maintian plots in a smaller time frame.

Mark, I thought I would post this for you as I know you are a Marlin Fan. I went up north earlier this week to pick up my new 44 mag trapper. A shop I had never been to before. When I got there all they had was a '92 trapper not a '94. So The search went on. I went to Jays Sporting goods and started to look at the lever guns. I noticed that on all the new USRAC there was (No Joke) about 1/2" of trigger creep. YUK! Well I was pretty dissapointed and decided to fondle the marlins for a bit. Now the last marlin I had was about 3 years ago when the 45-70 guide guns first came out and it was not exactly top quality especially the trigger and wood. I looked at a marlin model '94 SS in 44 mag. Marlin REALLY has improved in the last few years. The trigger was crisp without any creep, wood to metal finish was pretty darn good as well. Sadly this one had some blemishes so I decided to keep looking. I also looked at a Cowboy special with a 24" Octagon barrel, very nice but a bit heavy for my needs. I grabbed a Marlin catalog and I noticed they are makeing a shorter (20") barrel Cowboy special this year with the Octagon. I love the Octagon barrel for that "old West" feel. They also have added a 45 colt to the Custom Cowboy action shooter instead of just the 38 special. It seems they have stepped up to the plate. I will never stop collecting antique Winchester Lever guns but for a modern shooter it appears to me that Marlin has USRAC outgunned at the moment. I am leaning towards the Model '94 SS in 44 mag, 20" barrel, sling swivels decent wood and a very nice trigger pull. I also have found SS barrels much easier to clean than Carbon.

If you end up installing the ROPS yourself, some of them have a torque spec and tightening sequence. A few years back there was story from somebody who said they'd cracked an axle housing while tightening their ROPS. I forget which tractor it was though.

Chaining the bit is a good suggestion and I can see that it's a good safety practice too. I guess my solution has been to just go slow, but I can see the bit could really flop around at appreciable ground speed or especially on a trailer.

Murf, How were the fireworks ? There were so many people makeing the trip up north this year I came home. lol. The traffic going north on I-75 was stopped bumper to bumper for an easy 100 miles. They should put that on reality Tv. I didnt want to say anything about Murfs wine faux paux. I guess I figure its his boat and he knows what makes it float,lol. My wife would have been consumeing that Drambuie with ya murf, thats her favorite, I go for the Grand Marnier. But then she drinks scotch too. It used to be a bit funny at salmon camp when she would break out the scotch with the guys. It was always good for a few dumbfounded looks. I guess I really am getting old when I think about it, I always travel the opposite direction of the crowd. What are the fourth plans at your homestead Mark ? Fireing up the Barbie with Red meat I trust. Enjoy !

I'm sort of playing devil's advocate here, but what I learned about them is that they are very expensive (even the ones without hydraulic feed) and they also aren't all that fast.

I looked at some used ones and then figured that I could take utility trailers of brush to the dump indefinitely and spend less time and money doing it. We get plenty of material for composting from leafs and needles that do fall. However, our Township does have three landfill sites and no tippage fees, so dumping is close and free. Having said this reminds me that I do have a brush pile from last summer still waiting for me to get around to it. If I had a chipper it probably would already be in the compost pile.

The only thing most will agree on including myself is a 12 or 10 gauge. the handgun debate is enjoyable and I hope it continues for some time , great post. The truth is there are few hand guns that will not perform home defense only people that cannot. I believe that glock 21 45cal is your best choice "it kind of like an old pair of sneakers that you have wore and wore so many times" Just make sure it is in perfect shape, and truly learn how to defend with it. and it will not fail you. Now that shotgun, I think the 870's have a camamdo style 22" or 20" barrel and a 6 shell tube, 7 total, flat back plastic stock, run both buckshot and slugs in it, then stash a small game vest full of shells close and you should be just fine. also your wife need to learn to use that shotgun without hesitation and in close quarters. I use a winchester 1300 in a similar role with the vest stashed. If you want another handgun go get one, a rifle has limited value for in home defense,but my barn with my tractor in it is 150ft behind my home so a bolt action 30-06 with night vision does the tractor defending(just kidding). have fun gun shopping!!

My friend has a mattress store and no longer takes checks. He's been taken a few times now with checks that look real and people even have false picture ID's to go with them.

I hope you get your tractor back in good condition and I hope that POS lives until he's 1000 and has to sh-t every 5 minutes.

If you loan it, and someone gets hurt bad, who do you think will get sued? You. When asked, my answer is "My insurance won't cover it." So far I've had no hard feelings.

Honda and Kawasaki are #1 and #1a, Kohler's are next at #2,Used to be #1 by far but, lost it . Briggs and Stratton and Tecumseh are a distant third. Look at the small engines in top of the line industial pumps, generators and for that matter lawn care equipment. that Kohler should treat you very well, if you treat it well. I had a 17hp kohler in a 1971 Bolens garden tractor that my dad bought new. We junked that thing in 1988, because of the transmission not the engine, and it was never rebuilt. good luck with your little deere.

It's a long way from Mississippi to Nevada. No doubt the extra cost is shipping. Try pricing such a deal in Alaska!
I would definitely have to learn to weld there.
