This tractor don't have a PTO. And it only has a two point hitch.

Ok two point hitch... I saw some that did though. The Ad says 3point hitch for the one thats for sale... I misread...

I guess I dont know enough to think about getting something like this... I may just stick to my horse.

2 rolls of duct tape, 3 cans of Aqua Net hairspray, a zippo lighter, and a 12 pack will get them gone

12 packs get lots of things done.

30 packs are cheaper per ounce.

...

* of course our nights can get down to 50's so yellow jackets are not very active. I have found Spic and Span to have such a quick knockdown/kill on insects of every persuasion, I am afraid of what it can do to people using it to houseclean.

Thanks for the heads up on the spic n span.

There's also a freeze spray for electronics.

Chicken Canoe regular roundup and even extended control round up never did much for me. But Roundup for poison ivy and tough brush killer, is my go to product when I can afford the quart concentrate ($ 30 . with tax at Wally) none of the other places sell it here. I call it my napalm.

The trouble with it -despite the label saying how fast the plants will show affect is a LIE. I always think it didn't work and then after a week, sometimes two, I will realize the plants are gone, it even kills the savage Buckthorn shrubs and smaller trees. It kills those murderous wild raspberry vines, etc. etc. The problem is dead shrubs and trees do not melt. They are still standing and I don't have a chain saw. It's looks like the remains of a ghost forest.

...

Same here. It says effects in 12 hours but no, more like a week or 2. If I had 2 weeks I'd just use a weed whip.

That's not what we call a "wasp" nest in Texas....we call it a hornet nest...and I woulfd go up to it in the middle of the night....knock it clear with a baseballl bat
..then come back in a half hour(just to make sure everybody's home..and chunk it on a fire.....

Yeah, when I saw the picture I immediately thought hornets nest.

Would suggest borrowing a bee suit from a bee keeper and getting a flame thrower.

Good thing I have a bee suit but I never thought of using it for wasps and hornets.

We will eat anything

Funny story.
I was teaching a chicken processing class in the city. One of the attendees is Chinese. After eviscerating and saving the gizzard, heart and liver, I showed how to scratch the lungs out. Someone asked if you can eat the lungs. Amy, the Chinese lady said, "No, Chinese don't eat them and if Chinese won't eat something, it can't be eaten."

Too late now, but I would have recommended a 2 gallon freezer zip-lock bag and darkness. Approach gently and open the bag, slip it around the nest with all the wasps/hornets/yellow jackets inside and break the nest free where it's attached and close/seal the bag. Place the entire thing in the freezer for a day or two then remove and shake out all the dead bugs. let the kids take it to school for show and tell.

That's a good idea.

Didn't expect it, pulled the tarp off and got stung several times, wife AND sixteen yr old daughter came running out, thought I fell off the roof, was on it earlier measuring for new roof, they said I was screaming like a girl, I think they thought they were going to collect on my life insurance policy Lol!
Isn't it good for you to get stung once in a while? Pretty sure stings are good for you as long as you ain't allergic?

Wow. You've really been through it.

My wife was in the upstairs bathroom when I fell off the roof and saw me fly past the window. She screamed and everybody came running out of their bedrooms. They came outside and I had fallen onto a log that broke my leg. Luckily I didn't fall the whole 30+ feet. I hit the roof of the porch and then slid off of that.
I've had some epic falls - cliffs and such.

Yikes! Glad we don't have them around here, no poisones spiders. We do have timber rattlers, but they are pretty docile here and rare. Guy at work killed a huge one 'illegally' and is hoping to get a permit to have a mount, cause he already does, wants to show it at our county fair. I hope he gets it cause I would have done the same, the thing was HUGE! He killed it behind his house and it has a head the size of my fist and it was six feet long! Had a really nice mount done.

We also have brown recluse.

To the best of my recollection, it's honey bee stings that are beneficial for arthritis... ...

right

My 80+ year old father in law swears by them for durability.

By a show of hands who all googled "lilliputian"? Or should I blame Alabama school system?

Apparently you never even watched the movie for Gulliver's Travels! (Some of us knew the word without Googling it really )

Buddy of mine has one, looks just like that, with chains and loaded tires I've seen him pull good size firewood logs with the three pt hitch. They must have them with pto, I saw one on the way to work pulling a small tractor style rototiller.

My hubby says only if they are the 16 ouncers, picked up at the Pump and Munch in another county. He nolonger buys beer at the Food Lion
In Floyd... welllll not since he last had several 6 packs in the shopping cart when we ran in to our Pastor and several pillars of society (from our church). The first thing their eyes locked on was all that beer. They never saw my Dr Braggs ACV with the mother or the wheat gluten or the yeast and brown sugar for a chicken concoction. Nope all they saw was the beer!
