I have a (well several) Farmall H tractors and out of all of them only 1 is the old hand crank starter tractors. I really want to do away with the hand crank (it's a pain to crank to start). Anyone ever do this? Is it a pain?

My father in law and hubby bought 4 Allis Chalmers for $2500. They have since fixed 2 and sold them both for $1800 each. We have numerous calls about the others ones. I should say they are tractors not lawn mowers. We lost a couple of sales because the people wanted hydraulic lifts and they...

I was at Sear's yesterday and they had a lot of their riders on clearance. I wish I needed a new one, I always thought they just put them away for the next year but I guess they try to sell them. What do they do with the ones they don't sell? Do they mark them down the next season?

How many chainsaws do you own? How many do you take with you when you go cut wood? I love wood cutting season and it's almost here (we start when it gets cooler out). We only have Stihl chainsaws and we own a lot of them.

I planted a bunch of mums last fall and none of them are popping up yet. Anyone ever plant mums? Aren't they supposed to come back year after year? I can't wait to see if they pop up, I'm checking every day!

When we first bought our zero-turn I was hesitant, I had not heard of Gravely's before but the price was right. So far so good, we have had no problems. Anyone else own a zero-turn from Gravely? Your thoughts on it? Any problems so far?

I love it when it rains because it waters the yard and the gardens (saves my back). I hate it when it rains because the grass grows a lot faster and I have to mow twice as often. It's really coming down today!

So I just got a notice in the mail today that we are no longer allowed to use fire pits. I live in the country and I think it's crazy. It's a fire pit, not an uncontainable fire. Your thoughts on this?

Eek... I knew the time would come. We have been weeding like crazy but the buggers still find a way in and they hide under the giant squash plants. We are all afraid of them. How can we get them out of there so I feel safe going in again?

How are your flower gardens looking right now? Ours are in full bloom and gorgeous! We have sunflowers everywhere and pine cone flowers too. I have to say it's my favorite time of year for flowers.

Next week we are heading to the beach for 6 nights and 7 days! I can't wait. No thinking about work or housework. No thinking about lawn care of weeding. Just relaxing on the beach!

OK So we have those pesky beetles back in the garden. They drive me crazy! Soon they will take over everything and start killing off the leaves and then the veggies. How can I get rid of them?

Why? I'm not sure... We don't even use them all. 11 Farmall H tractors. Just doesn't make any sense to me. I can say we use 4 of them, but that is it. I swear one day we will have a museum!

We've got an older push mower and it's starting to act up. It seems to cut out a lot. My dad said we should replace or rebuild the motor. I don't think it's worth it. We've had it for about 8 years.

We have honey bees in our cabin. I can't for the life of me find someone who will come and take care of them. We had a bee guy come up and spray and powder for yellow jackets. What can we do about the honey bees?
