Mower Attachment For Utv

In order to grow our gardens, increase the head-count in our herds or start turning a profit on our former “hobby,” we need to have the necessary tools at the ready. As hobby farmers, we can be hesitant to invest in large-scale equipment—this is...

In addition, a snow blower is the perfect choice for going “off road” and clearing paths to your barn, your shed, your livestock pastures and so on. But which do you need? Both machines have pros and cons that make them better suited to some tasks...

I'm not sure about you, but I can see a large fencing trailer or seed distribution set up being pulled across the land fairly easily. But if you own an ATV or UTV , you just might have the perfect rig to get your farm up and running faster than you might...

The units are typically less expensive than diesel varieties, and simple oil changes and routine maintenance can be done at home. Four-wheel-drive units must have stronger engines with a lower gear ratio to engage all four wheels.

These vehicles are much lighter than the tractors that traditionally do many of these tasks, and air-cooled engines are not well-suited to working under a load at low speeds. They typically use an electric winch to raise and lower the plow, and may require...

You can also attach weights directly to the wheels, as this can increase traction without weighing down on the entire machine. You might also need them for your ATV or UTV, though quality tires designed for traction in poor conditions might be enough...

I also bought a device for my ATV to grub out larger saplings. << More Shop Talk >> Tags cottonwood , deer damage , forest , oaks , trees , walnuts Sometimes not doing anything is the best course of action.

What I don't do is spend time in large tractor or combine cabs. Ironically, while I write about large-scale agriculture all the time, I seldom get the chance to experience how technology has changed large commercial operations.

Where were we going to get parts? We have a piece of equipment we like, and then one day, the company that produces it goes away. There's a neat design waiting to be revitalized and at least two of us out here who may need parts.

In addition, they can be quite fun to drive. Depending on the number of tines and the spacing, which are adjustable on some attachments, you can use your ATV or UTV to rake leaves, pine needles, brush, tree debris and more.

On top of that, they're just plain fun ! But even workhorses need a little maintenance now and then, especially as they age. If it has a radiator, clean it out regularly—compressed air works well here, as well—as leaves and dust can clog it, and use...

If you've constructed large pastures with a lot of fencing, you know that erecting a fence can be a difficult and time-consuming task, and you also know that making repairs and keeping your fencing in good shape can be equally challenging.

It wouldn't be the first time he saved me money. It's great for all kinds of jobs, but it really shines at moving snow. As Socrates is credited with saying, “The more I learn, the more I learn how little I know.” Like him, I'll just keep asking.

Stockpiling the leaves, instead of simply raking up a pile and shredding them, means having to move them. That's how I discovered that simply pulling from one end is just as effective.

They differ in horsepower rating, width of cut, trailing versus mounted and even safety standards. Cutting width can vary from as little as 24-inch walk-behinds from DR Power to one of their 44-inch trailing mowers.

Check Oil: Each time you fill up with gas, check the oil as well. Install Tire Chains: Some machines—garden tractors spring to mind—struggle with slippery conditions. Fill it almost to the top with good gas and then add a stabilizer to help keep the...

I also didn't need a lot of power, as the fields and pastures were rented to a nephew. However, I soon realized my needs as a hobby farmer were considerably different from that of the mixed livestock and crop farm where I had grown up.

Next week … the cleaning! << More Shop Talk >> Tags garage , garden tools , Jim Ruen , workshop I took advantage of the move to scrub the spades and post-hole digger of accumulated dirt in preparation for winter.

For me, it was the idea that I could add value to my trees—even those untouched by professional loggers. The sawdust, bark and everything but the select lumber is left in the forest to decompose and feed new growth.” Most portable sawmills come in...

Chainsaws & Log Splitters romanlily/Flickr Back in the old days, if you needed to cut your own firewood for fuel, you had to fell a tree using hand tools, saw it by hand into short logs, and split those logs manually using an ax or similar tool.

Dufour points to the versatility, maneuverability and economy of walk-behind equipment, even for larger acreages. My pull-behind rough-cut mower works as well behind my ATV as it does behind a compact tractor.

Knowing the correct pressure is half the battle. While I've always used the information on the side of the tire, Michelin says to follow the car maker's recommendation. With the rising price of gas, the inevitable news stories will remind us to check...
