When I got the little kubota tractor, it had a piece of c-channel bolted on the front as a makeshift bumper. Due to lack of radiator protection, the radiator was damaged when I got it and the tractor overheated. After replacing the radiator I decided to build a proper bumper that I could...

Able to toss a roll of barb wire on them to unroll while building fence.

Shortly after getting our land/tractor, the box blade broke and sat in the field for a few years. I just bought a different one and used it instead. One of my first projects was repairing it, but the repair lasted less than a year. Over Thanksgiving break I decided to take it down and rebuild...

I recently did some general maintenance on mine...while I had it by the garage I remembered I had been wanting a side table...$70-100 online and light duty...used some scrap angle iron and rebar to make one. Doing firewood last weekend made me really glad I did...

Yesterday I had an excavating company building a pad for my wifes new goat shed...today they are finishing up, a plumber will be repairing the unknown propane line they hit, and then I get to do 150 feet of 2" electrical pipe in the ditch...yay vacation

All, Thanks for the wonderful comments and discussion...I figured Inwould be an oddball by going propane.

The guys at the store said acetylene was 2:1, propane 3 or 4 to 1...
