That's an awesome looking place, CS1983. Good for you guys!
The land is great. House needs some work before we move in (scrape popcorn ceilings, paint wood paneling, new flooring). I ripped out all the carpet in prep for EVP. Here’s a mock up of what it will look like with the EVP inside.
Kitchen is already painted. Living room needs paint.

Definite deer activity on property. Oklahoma is a tagless hunting state when it comes to your own property, so I could theoretically just go hunt anytime during the proper season without having to have a tag.
About 9 acres pasture, 8.5 woods, and 2.5 “yard”.
I’ll be looking to get a small tractor soon.
Make sure you test the popcorn ceiling for asbestos before you scrape it.
Having a contractor do it.
I'd still make sure it has been tested.
Congrats!Quote:

Those pic links aren?t working for me. <SAD FACE>
I absolutely love harbor freight. I know they sell cheap stuff but it works great for me. I bought one of their 300 piece tool kits over two years ago and broke a few, lost a few and needed to replace them. I walked in with my receipt and the broken tools. The lady told me to get new ones off the shelf and that the receipt was not needed for warranty items. I also bought the replacements that I lost and a pick-set all for less than $8 OTD. 20% coupon and my free flash light [LOL].
$2.49

$2.99 - Only needed one to replace the lost one but for $3, who cares.

I needed the pick-set in order to remove a coil boot that got stuck on one of the plugs that I was changing on the Tundra. Thankfully O'Reilly's had some in stock since it ripped and no one else in town did.

Lastly - One of these insta-pot things. A friend told me about it and I am impressed. It made my meal prep so dang easy! 5lb of chicken breast done in 15min is insane. 3lb of potatoes done in 12min.

Put a little dielectric grease on the new spark plugs so you won’t have any boots stuck next time.
Yup, got that done and anti seize.Quote:

I have Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s on my Tacoma and I really like them, quiet, good traction, but they don’t make them in the size I wanted for the T100. If they make the Wildpeaks in the size for the Tundra, I do not think you would be disappointed
You will love having a tractor. If you have questions or anything, lemme know. I did a massive amount of research and I've owned 3 now in the 4 years we've been here. Tractors are amazing tools.Quote:

I've been wanting to upgrade my tires on the Tundra with some M/T's but just worried about road noise since its my daily driver and snow traction. It currently has new Pathfinder AT's (on it when I bought it) but I am not overly impressed with them. My Duramax has Nitto Ridge Grapplers and I like them a lot but they are pricey. Googling around, I found these and I really can't find any bad reviews. For $520 shipped, they might be worth the gamble.Quote:

Nice looking, but I don’t think they are going to be quiet.Quote:

I put the BFGs on the T100 cuz that is my play around vehicle, wouldn’t want to commute with those tires

If you have a smoker. That instantpot device is great for making the meal get done quicker. 5 hrs smoke on a pork butt, 90 mins in the pot and BAM!.Quote:

Can make for some quick work vs. breaking out the shovel. Can also allow 1 person to do a multi-person job.
Nothing runs like a Deere!Quote:

Old tractors are cool. I do love 'em. However, new tractors really get a lot more work done in a shorter amount of time.Quote:

No. But it did include a bevy of scantily clad, attractive farm girls with fans that follow me around. Only available on the upper trim level model.Quote:

We had a saying about gals that wore red boots when I was at Texas A&M...
Yeah, afterwards.Quote:

That’s a sweet tractor BG. I have the little brother, 1025R TLB. Amazing what they can do. I’ve had it a couple years and moved hundreds of tons of rock, sand, road base, etc with it. The backhoe is unbelievable. I remember helping my dad as a kid dig holes for hours to plant trees. Now just a few quick motions I’ve got the hole ready!
It’s amazing how quickly your neighbors and friends notice you own a tractor!
Debated for days on getting that one. I just needed a little more juice under the hood.Quote:

Yep I wanted the bigger one but knew what I got would do the job, and it has done amazing. And I figured after it’s done with the tough stuff there wouldn’t be a whole lot of projects left that require anything bigger so I saved the $$ buying the smaller one. Plus it’s green so you know it’s the best!Quote:
