While some areas will have snow for a while, and frost for a while after that, the impending arrival of spring means it's time to start making plans for planting gardens and other spring tasks.

I am looking for a seed spreader for spreading grasss and clover seed that attachs to an ATV. I would like a seed spreader that attachs to an ATV or Tractor Three Point Hitch. Must be in good working order with a calibration for accurate seed spreading.

Shovel The term shovel tends to be much more of a catch-all than the term spade, which means that the word shovel can refer to a wide variety of digging tools. This is very similar to a spade, but it usually has a more rounded blade that falls in between...

This can be exhausting, so if you're having trouble making small cuts, it's probably time for a new saw. To be honest, it will wear off long before the saw is ready to be replaced, so this isn't the best gauge of when to purchase a replacement.

Under such circumstances, you can either cut down the young tree (which doesn't take much effort when they're small), or—if it seems like a healthy example of species that interests you—you can make an effort to dig it up and replant it in a more...

This makes it simple to use because you can just grab it and get to work—no need to hunt for a battery! 5. It's Lightweight And Portable Because it's small and lightweight, you can easily toss this item into a tool box and carry it to whatever project...

When I lifted the panels to their closed positions, they easily swiveled into place. Then I'll outline the tools stored behind a panel on its exposed side to make it easy for my wife (and me) to find needed tools without dropping every panel.

Remember, an anvil likely is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase. If it's the craftsman tool you seek, visit the wide variety of companies online. If you are looking to create farm tools, they may even be able to meet your needs themselves.

Beyond Backpack Sprayers When you move beyond the farmyard, it's time to move beyond backpack sprayers. Quality matters. I have two 4-gallon backpack sprayers and several handheld sprayers plus the use of a 25-gallon UTV-mounted sprayer and a 110-gallon...

From baling hay and plowing fields to moving manure and carrying supplies, the amount of time and effort that tractors save us can hardly even be quantified. Well, we certainly wouldn't be able to get as much hard work done! A well-built tractor equipped...

I always like to have a pair on hand because they're much easier to handle when making a bunch of small trims in a row. This protection actually serves two purposes if you're working in the shade or on the edge of a forest during the summer months: This...

The owner makes heirloom quality saws. Of course with the Bad Axe waiting list, I better get my order placed sooner rather than later. << More Shop Talk >> Tags buying tools , Jim Ruen , price

As it turned out, the handiest tool was a very long apple picker. No need to get buried in an avalanche from your own roof! But this project goes to show why quality farm tools can come in handy in situations where you least expect it—like during the...

But there's something about this old-fashioned measuring wheel that I find appealing—let's face it, what could be simpler for measuring a lengthy distance than rolling a wheel from one point to another and reading the result?

They'll chop through thin plastic if you need to open packaging or cut a hole in something. The wires are thick—they're multiple wires twisted together—and I wouldn't dare try to cut through them with wire cutters.

Someday I may even try making a tenon. I know I will buy other new tools, like the sabre saw I recently picked up, but they will be tools I need at the time. I may keep it … or not.

A few minutes later, I had sawn through the ash and the two trees fell to the ground. It seemed to be defying the laws of gravity and the rules of physics. I then made a high cut from the other side, angling down to a point just above the wedge.

A spike aerator is designed to simply punch holes in the soil to improve aeration, whereas plug aerators actually remove some soil (“plugs”) from the ground. Some small aerators are designed to be pushed by hand, while others are designed to be towed...

Both incorporate a straight-line prepacker chamber that pre-forms each flake before sweeping it into the bale chamber, thus ensuring consistent bale density and uniform flake size.

It's almost like having an extra hand—if you've got the locking pliers clamped on to a bolt and need to leave for a moment, the pliers will stay right in place. I once saw where someone had clamped locking pliers on to the stub of a broken-off doorknob,...

Likewise, the guard is easy to adjust, which means I am more likely to do so. For a klutz like me, it means the motor stops when I release my grip. Regular service should include checking brushes for replacement.

To be honest, I am not a fan of ice, and I'm certain many hobby farmers feel the same way. Now it's your turn! What tools do you like to have on hand for removing ice? A Digging Bar This is another tool that is more of a substitute for an actual ice scraper,...

For example, I frequently load my sled with eight or nine hay bales to move them around the farm, and while a load like this is reasonably stable, in bad snow conditions it's not uncommon for a bale or two to fall off the top of the stack—and once in...

Pounding the tapered end of a digging bar into the soil around the post will quickly loosen the ground and make removing the post easier, and once your new post has been installed, the tamping end of the bar will help you pack the soil securely around...

If you're expecting warm temperatures and thawing ground in the near future, you'll want to be prepared to handle the situation. Depending on the machines that you own, you might want to have a supply of both gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as special...
