    Small tractors, and what to look for?

    I think you're going to be underwhelmed by the "root ripper". I hope I'm wrong but the tractor/backhoe isn't going to have the HP or weight you'll need to get anything significant out of the ground. That's not a ding on the product, I just don't think the tractor is large enough for the...

    Small tractors, and what to look for?

    Be careful with the thumb on the backhoe. I bent the shit out of mine dragging logs about 2 days after I installed it. Mine is the factory thumb but it looks identical. Probably not built quite as well as the Bxpanded. You have to keep the weight of what you're lifting/moving centered where the...

    Urgent help needed for e-brake!!!

    This is the dumbest thing I've heard in quite some time. Do they realize that vehicles are geared differently and the torque at 1000 RPMs would be far different on different vehicles.

    Do I scrap it?

    I'd post some pics but the Jeep is buried in a snowbank right now.

    Do I scrap it?

    The old girl is struggling. The frame is toast. Full disclosure, I knew this when I bought it. I paid $3,000 for the rust bucket and got 3 winters out of it. That's about what I expected and I can't say that this was a poor purchase. I've actually gotten a lot more than I expected out of it...

    Power Tools: Battery Power vs Air Compressor

    How hard is it to swap out a battery? It literally takes 5 seconds. 30 seconds if the walk to the charger is 25 seconds away. You keep one on the charger and one in the tool. It really is that simple. To complain about the battery management but be willing to go get an extension cord, unravel...

    Where should I mount my hi-lift jack?

    It’s great that you want to carry the highlift but if you’re honest with yourself, it’s a bulky piece of equipment that very rarely gets used on the trail. If you have other recovery equipment, there is ALWAYS a better and safer solution. I’m keeping mine because I have found a few uses for it...

    Where should I mount my hi-lift jack?

    I have a highlift that I’ve used a total of 5-6 times in the 10 years I’ve owned it. Never once was it used on the trail. Around the property it’s come in handy a few times but never used it on a vehicle. Under no circumstances would I mount one to my Jeep.

    Look at this beauty!

    I find this Jeep to be a far better value than a brand new $80K Wrangler.

    How much rust is too much rust?

    What a lot of people ignore and is a very important question… what is your goal? And is your goal realistic with the vehicle you’re looking at. Is your goal to buy a 20 year old vehicle for cheap money that will be your daily driver and last the next 10 years? That’s simply not going to happen...
