No question. Absolutely 2 axles if hauling that far. Handles better and when you have a blowout you won’t lose your sxs.

Picked up the tractor last week. Went with a Kubota mx5400HST, 1065 loader w/quick attach, RCF 2772 land pride cutter, 4k forks, 6’ atlas 500 series disc, 3rd function kit, and 14k trailer w/ brakes on both axles. Hoping to buy once, cry once. I Used it for a couple of hours cutting and it’s a beast but I almost killed it bc I didn’t stop often enough to clean the radiator and screen as I was cutting 6’ tall grass and it got clogged pretty bad. Let it cool down and cleaned it frequently and it was good after that. Pulling it on MS roads is fine with the brakes, Louisiana roads are a very different story. Thanks everyone for the advice.

Tikka makes a roughtech ranch 308 16” barrel. I initially bought the Ruger gen 2 and hated it. Sticky bolt, crappy trigger. Bought the tikka and am very happy. Silky smooth bolt and awesome factory trigger. Both come threaded and I put a cgs Hyperion k on it. Awesome little set up.

Is this is what pushes you over the edge and makes you wanna sing show tunes, you were already there my friend.

Same here. Forecast for 30% on Sunday/monday. Will probably wait a little longer.

My house faces southeast in south Louisiana so it’s full sun until the afternoon. My shi shi camellias and pacific junipers are rockstars. The vertical vincas and Angelonias I plant every spring are doing well also with a sprinkler system (cheap Eden system off Amazon with a rain bird timer). I find the vincas much more hardy than the petunias I was planting. However, I have about 20 petit knockout rose bushes and they look like hell all summer despite watering. Spring and fall they usually look great though. I’m probably gonna pull up some and replace them with sunshine ligustrums or dwarf lorepetulums. Hope this helps.

I’ve been saying to years the LGBs need to separate themselves from the QTs.

We have leather reclining ones from American factory direct. Still look brand new after 8 yrs. Paid 5 k in 2017 for recliner, loveseat, couch

I did a nilgai hunt in 2022 on the king ranch. Agree with a previous poster. Just being there and seeing the ranch was amazing. Being from Louisiana, it’s hard to wrap your head around how many acres it encompasses. Shot a decent bull while walking thru a post oak forest. I did a day hunt for a bull. They do require a 30 cal or larger gun.

Once you retire, Monday will be the best. Everyone goes to work or school leaving easy access to national parks, the gym, grocery store, afternoon baseball games, etc

I’d love to be able to fish Monday - Thursday
