  1. Does Sams Club Plug Tires

    Call and ask. In general - no, most places do NOT plug tires these days. Just a matter of liability and practicality. Liability as if they repair and it fails...easily could be a high dollar claim made...practicality as far as what do you make plugging a tire - $10-15 bucks. 1 single el...
  2. How To Neuter A Male Cat Yourself

    Why not just find other ways to save money...do you do your own dentistry? Perhaps just have going to craigslist for a prostate exam, or just maybe DONT OWN AN ANIMAL IF YOU CANT PROVIDE BASIC HEALTHCARE FOR IT. Its not like there are not a plethora of low cost animal shelter options out there...
  3. John Deere Vs Case Ih

    Are you getting "more" for your $$.. Depends on how you define "more" Stronger, better engineered tractors that last longer...no. More resale, brand loyalty, glossier brochures, nicer hats with purchase and more dealers nationwide...yes, you get more. I am an admitted JD "loyalist" and I...
  4. Thinking of taking an 84 month car (truck) loan...AM I NUTS

    Drive a truck into the ground? Sorry - not my style. ANY modern vehicle maintained regularly should have minimal drive train issues...exluding sensors/electronics. 99% of the horror stories you hear involve failed electronic components..regardless of the make/type of machine. My #1 pet peeve...
  5. Thinking of taking an 84 month car (truck) loan...AM I NUTS

    There is alot of mis conception about "losing thousands" when you drive a new vehicle off the lot. Simplest explanation is this...you cannot recover taxes - those are end user cost. Buy a new car for 40k and 8% taxes...you lose $3200 in taxes immediately. Said car is worth less once titled...
  6. Thinking of taking an 84 month car (truck) loan...AM I NUTS

    So heres the deal...I want a new truck. Been saving for a while, my present vehicle is a 2012 and the urge for something bigger and feature laden is growing. I like Toyota, been getting some tempting offers on new and dealers locally are pushing incentives hard. Now I looked at used and it...
  7. How To Tell If A Cow Was Struck By Lightning

    Was it rare or well done... Sorry, it sucks - but as mentioned any vet. Insurance wise, a single cow...not sure what your deductible is, but filing a claim for anything under 2k in general is not cost beneficial. Yes, you will get paid - but what are chances of a non renewal or rate increase...
  8. Is Duluth Trading Made In America

    Import Not bad quality - but most all textiles are import. To me - you pay for marketing. Still, catch them on sale at end of season - they can be fairly good value. Think I paid around 25 bucks for my latest coat...shipping included
  9. Harbor Freight 44 Tool Box

    I was looking at it the other day. Seems well built. I am actually torn between this and the single bank. Quality is there to cover MOST users needs in my opinion. Its a case - plain and simple. It doesnt make the tools inside any better or worse - as long as it holds together and provides...
  10. What To Do With An Old Barn

    Need photos/details. Lots of buyers for older barn beams and wood in solid condition. Slate also has some value. Fix it depends alot on size/condition/need. Reality is it may be cheaper to build a NEW pole building than rehab a barn...and you can build size you need and have a customized...
  11. How Deep To Bury Water Line

    About a foot lower than the frozen one you just dug up in my experience.
  12. What are the options for retiring an older tractor?

    Craigslist Donate (alot of these car donation sites will take it - give you a blank receipt to fill out the value and sell via a salvage auction) Possible to give it to a local trade school/high school? Give some kid the chance to waste a school year rebuilding it...
  13. Are Snap On Tools Worth The Money

    Long time tech once told me - you will use 10% of your tools 90% of the time. I've found that to be true. For those tools - I find SnapOn as well as "old" (pre mid 90s) Craftsman stuff is the way to go in the way of hand tools. Husky isnt bad either. The other 90% of the chest - go with...
  14. Diesel or Unleaded Truck

    Do you enjoy paying $300 every time you need to service the truck? Do you think stopping at just one station in search of fuel is stupid? Do you like having to remember where the station that sells diesel is located and then calculating how far you can travel away from it before risking...
  15. Tritoon 150 Hp Top Speed

    Depends, size, load, how lifted it is, conditions ect. but Im guessing around 40. Based on where my 2 toon 20' pontoon tops out with a 90hp. I can get high 20s/low 30...extra 60hp and lifted same size boat with just me should be 30% faster. Might try asking over at thehulltruth.com - they...
  16. Buying Back Family Farm Land

    What do you do - its simple, you either pay up or play the long game. If you pay today - its over. You own it - they get cash, its done. If you refuse, unless there is a gold mine in that 8 acres - know there market for buyers is lilely limited - especially if its crop land or woods. Too small...
