So what did you buy today

[tallgrass_coyote]

That helmet is great, I got one and use it when chainsawing, weed eating and even on the riding mower - keeps the grass hoppers from hitting me in the face. Problem is I usually forget to raise the face shield when I need to spit...

Ha! I've definitely have done the spit thing a time or two.

Stopped by the noxious weed department and got some govt subsidized herbicides. ~$350 out the door.

Never heard of subsidized herbicides. What was the discount price on the 2-4-D and the Buccaneer?

$15/ga for 24D and $13/ga for buccaneer. Check with your county noxious weed department. Here they line up certain chems with specific nox weeds. Pasturegard for sericea, glyphosate for bush honeysuckle, 24d for thistle.

Do you have a county weed inspector?

Not sure about an inspector, you'd need an army of them. Be easier to figure out where there aren't any weeds.

I didn't buy it today, but I'm still waiting on it to be picked up by ups from a 0.5 knot per hour boat from china.

I thought the Deep South was the only place that has weeds. Most are evasive.

A buck, at a garage sale.


Needs a little love.

I don’t need any, but when I see them going for $17+, each, at the home centers, it’s hard to resist.

If we still treated weeds like we did 40 years ago we would be better off and have less issues. I saw today my neighbor was selling his 12 row cultivator

Going to no till? And spraying?

Paraquat was good stuff.

I am not sure if we still have a weed inspector for our county. The idea of them was to check for farmers that were out of compliance with control of noxious and invasive weeds. The last one I knew of was my my wife's uncle and that was over 30 years ago. It was a joke because his pastures were all Canada Thistle. .

This is a bit of leaf turners ......

He does both no-till and convential. I am not sure the last time I saw anyone here cultivating corn or beans. Well that is other than the Mennonite and Amish to the west of here. We might have been some of the last ones locally. When we went to an 8 row planter I bought a 8 row cultivator but never used it. At that time we were drilling beans. A couple years later we went to a 12 row planter and that was it. I remember in the mid 1980's when my cousins took on more ground they bought two or three 12 row cultivators. They would go through all their corn and beans. Of course those are all long gone.

Marketplace haul I stayed up late to buy. Stihl dealer sign, Super XL and an XL 12 for 160 bucks. Planning on making a box for the sign so I can backlight it before I hang it in the shop. The super started on a shot of fuel in the carb.

Similar thing for me, bought a Super XL from an antique store, recoil rope hanging out. Cleaned up the recoil, put gas in it and it fired up. No idea how long it was sitting.

Neighbor gave me these wedges so I handled his maul. Any idea who made this 8 lb round poll maul?
