Never had any issues with a Sta-Rite 3/4hp. Been running one for years, but they are not a cheaper option.

I have a Siclincer Co. Hybrid 46 on mine. Love it.

We’ve started using drones for recovery, and let me tell you—this technology changes everything. I know how to track with the best of them, but think about it: when a deer runs off the plot, maybe through a briar patch or into a deep bottom, why crawl through thickets on your hands and knees, leaving scent everywhere and disturbing the woods, just to find out the deer was lying dead right outside the patch?

Why risk blood-trailing a wounded deer and pushing it even farther? Everyone knows that once you jump a wounded deer, your chances of recovery drop dramatically.

Using a drone will open your eyes to how many deer over the years were never recovered—often because hunters walked right past them.

Now, I agree that this technology could be abused, and I support keeping it illegal on public lands. But let’s be honest: due to the cost, 90% of people using drones are private landowners with strict management programs who aren’t abusing them.

Drone recovery is a game-changer, and it’s time to accept new technology. There’s no real difference between using a thermal scope for hog hunting or a .35 Whelen as a “primitive” weapon today.

We have a Mahindra that will constantly overheat and has been that way since new. The radiator, oil cooler, and AC condenser screens are just a poor design. The engine fan basically blows everything back onto them. The only fix is the remove all the screens and air filter and blow them out daily, then rinse with water. Let them dry before running the tractor to prevent dust from sticking.

They do make an aftermarket reversing fan that can be installed, which would help out tremendously, but they are pretty pricey.

Calcutta Auction and bets. Its a big money game.

Looking to get a better wifi signal to my shop, which is about 100' from my house. The electricity for the shop is fed from the main panel in my house. I was told that I could use a powerline wifi extender to get a better signal in the shop.

Does anybody have any experience with these? If so, do they work, and what brand do you recommend?

If you use them responsibly, they’re great to have. I’ve run the local river my whole life grew up without light bars but now, when I take the kids out after dark, I always have mine on. When I see an oncoming boat, I flip it off just like dimming your headlights on a two-lane road at night. It’s all about courtesy and safety.

Thanks! I'm going to give it a go.

We bought a Kubota 75-3 to use on our hunting property. It's used mainly to keep the roads up, fix washouts, etc., but we do have a diamond cutter we use from time to time to knock down the overgrowth around fields and roads.


With it being only used for that and not commercial work, the maintenance cost and upkeep are low.

We also bury all the deer guts with it now. Dig a hole on a Friday, then cover it up before we leave on Sunday :lol:

I have a Kubota KX-057-5, and it's a great machine. The only downfall I have noticed is that it lacks swinging power. I'm not sure how that compares to other brands, but as with buying any equipment, choose the brand that you have access to the dealer near by.

When buying a used machine, look at the condition of the tracks, sprockets, and rollers, and if there is slack in the pins on the boom.
