re: Single or double axle for SXS trailer
Posted by DownSouthDave on 11/21/25 at 5:50 pm to magicman534
I've had blow outs with my sxs. Im not sure why you think you would lose it.
Either will work.
Its much easier to move a single axle by hand and its less tires to buy when the time comes.

Im replacing a couple hundred dollars worth of parts and hardware right now on my 3pt spreader because I neglected to do this.
Fertilizer is no joke, it will destroy your equipment.

Hook this across the grill. It will catch a lot of stuff before it gets in your screens.
Also, the MX fb group is very good and very helpful.

I use the radiator genie on the water hose. It works great. I've also put on a sun shade type material over the hood, like a bra on a car, to help keep the amount of seed and dirt that gets in the engine compartment.
I have also used an electric blower that I would keep in the bucket while cutting. It does a decent job and is much faster than going back to the hose.
Hose does a much better job though.

re: Silt coming through water lines

Folsom, LA.
Someone said it may be the catalyst breaking down, it degrades over time and likely needs to be replaced.

Silt coming through water lines
Posted by DownSouthDave on 9/22/25 at 1:52 pm
Been in this house for 9 months. There has been several occasions where the water will have a pretty heavy silt content. If it runs for a couple minutes it seems to clear out. There will be some light silt from time to time as well.
There is a WG 948 filter before the house. Obviously it need to be flushed or replaced. But I've never seen silt come through lines like this.
Is this a symptom of the well going bad? Is it worth changing the filter or media if the well is pushing a lot of silt?

Looking for info on Azaleas
Posted by DownSouthDave on 9/9/25 at 4:50 pm
Im going to be planting a natural wall between myself and the neighbor. The run is U shaped with 120' legs and 300' in the middle.
We have other Azalea walls around the property and I like the looks and the low maintenance. Currently, most of the Azaleas we have are "Pride of Mobile" variety. Im happy with them, but was wondering if there are others recommended by the board. I want something that gets pretty large, like POM.
Looking at the Doug Young nursery price sheet, 3 gallon plants are going for $7.50/ea and 7 gallon plants are $18.00/ea. Is it worth spending more on the larger plants? How much further along will those be? A year? More? Would the smaller plants catch up quickly once being planted in soil?
I am considering a drip type irrigation system for them, are there any I should look into, specifically? Any to avoid?

Spin tech makes a 300lb galvanized with an internal motor. Tray drops down when throwing and picks up when its finished. Nothing for coons to get to. I've had one hooked up to solar throwing every day for 5 years. I've only had to replace the battery once.
Tray is beginning to fall and stay open a bit. A few washers will fix it.

I like it.
I have 20+ acres of pasture and cut most of it with the MX. Its a cab model, I dont take it in the woods much.
I mostly use a 6' bush hog or 8' flail mower. The 4701 will probably run both of those.
A big difference is the loader. The MX feels a lot stronger.
I have a L2800 and the 4701 loader is closer to that than the 6000.
Im generally happy with my MX6000. The worst thing is that cutting tall grass will clog up the a/c condenser. You have to stop and blow it out every 20 minutes if its a hot, dry day. You'll bake in the cab if it's not done. Terrible design. I have a piece of sunbrella cloth over the front of the tractor to prevent grass and seed from getting in.

Dad has a 4701. Great for the woods and plots.
If you have 5 - 4 acre plots and you're cutting and pulling discs, I would probably want more.
I have a MX6000 and wouldn't want less if I was cutting discing close to 20 acres.

I have a woods on my 28hp tractor. I use it to keep up a shared gravel drive.
I find that it doesnt have enough weight to really dig into the gravel. Box works much better for me.

Mule 4010 is the goat work driven sxs. The Trans was $10k for years, now they are $14k. Not the value they once were, but still a great machine.

Clear Creek Stud Horse Farm
I'm very close to Clear Creek. I have Canadas flying over daily and they visit my ponds. One day I noticed lots of groups flying over mid day, which is unusual. They usually hang there from morning until evening. Didn't think much of it.
I was running an errand later in the day and saw some of their laborers under the oak trees, taxing them. Dropping geese in cowboy hats and boots.
Not sure if I would eat a goose that spends all day every day eating horse manure.
