    Shop light recommendations

    Princess auto, wait for the sales that come on for linkable LED fixtures. Had electrician wire in 3 outlets along the roof, then just plug them in together. Can't beat the return policy at princess auto. The ones i got work fairly well, although the motion sensor feature of them is kind of...

    Farmer talk

    Couple years ago we have three 19 foot hoppers on concrete. With angle brackets and bolted into the concrete, the brackets weren't welded to the skids, but a blizzard came through, the 3 bins off the pad, over the bolts, over the bent hangers and slid them on the ground another 15 feet. Needless...

    I prefer to put barley into old wooden floor flat bottom bins that have the afternoon sun beating down where you unload. Did I mention it has to be 30+ degrees? Oh and the wind has to be blowing directly at you wherever you stand. And the truck doesn’t have air conditioning. Said my dad from the...

    Rust repair

    I just did some work on my truck in this area, and wheel wells. Dont do this yourself, save your sanity and pay someone lol. But seeing as you're looking to get it done. I had someone tell me that it's $3,500 for single cab, $4,500 for extended cab, and $5,500 for crew cab. Not sure how that...

Gophers are pretty bad in. and the last one was a hay field we broke because the gophers were so bad the field you couldn't cut hay it was half dirt because gopher mounds and they ate all the grass. So we...

    Here's some google earth pictures of our predicament. Bad enough you can see it from google earth. picture with the doodles is showing the way the wind went in red, and blue is the drainage. We had a wet spring that our lentils did not do well, then drought for the rest of the year. But yeah...

    We have a neighbour who bought land beside us when I was a kid. It’s poor land, lots of alkali, and they decided to go “organic” and plant grass. Well the Kochia weed took over the entire thing and we got a strong south eastern wind and it spread all the seeds onto our field in a straight line...

    Can’t figure out 12v wiring for auxiliary signal lights

    we’ll, I’m starting to think if it’s an issue with the flasher relay in my truck. I wired up a 5 post relay and my truck won’t skip the relay on its own by using the signal light as the trigger. It’ll power it on but it won’t turn completely off to reset the signal. It won’t even trigger the...

    Can’t figure out 12v wiring for auxiliary signal lights

    I bought aftermarket fog lights that have an accent light bar in them, that switch backs to a sequential signal light. And for the life of me I can’t figure them out. I’m thinking it’s an internal issue and don’t have the capability of doing what I want. But I’m looking to make a work around for...

    Try find a bigger old blade like that these days without spending a ton of money though. I only have a single noble blade, was thinking about selling it though, did not do what I had hoped. Our ground is too hard to even penetrate. Scared to tilt the blade down for fear of breaking it off. Then...

    We have a few different fields that could use some adjusting. I'm south east of regina 30 minutes. I feel most of the damage is already done with their mounds.

    We sold some bales from last year for 60 a bale. That's after we hauled them from the field to the yard yet. If we could sell for $175 i'd be tempted to put poorer land back to grass. Dang gophers are so bad here though my back can't handle the abuse of gopher infested ground.

    2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst

    I mean, turbos gotta get air from somewhere. The stock airbox looks like it’s still on the hood. And no intake going up from there. Looks like the heat blanket.
