That's one thing I miss about working in the non school sector lol no boot allowances anymore. All my full time welding students get a pair of timberland pros at the start of class. They seem to like them.1fasgsxr said:Nice boots. I get a free pair once a year from work. My favorites for comfort are the timberland pro.

These are the Wolverines that I wear and honestly they are comfortable right from the box, there is no break in period at least for me anywayHurco550 said:I've heard great things about wolverines too, but I've tried two different pairs and they never did break in right or get comfortable for me. I loved my red wings (which is what I'm replacing with these thorogoods).

Let us know how that works out for you, remember to cover your nuts.
Or not.
I'm definitely on the search for a tiller. I've noticed there are companies that still make attachments, like a front end loader for them too. I only have an acre, but it's property my regular rider was getting destroyed by. I would have to do a repair every time I had to cut. I've been having to borrow my dad's walk behind tiller when I needed it too.pidjones said:Nice Cub, Irk! We bought a 1980 JD 216 in 1985, mowed for several decades with it, then it sat in an open-sided shed for another decade or so. Aired the tires, changed the oil, greased everything, changed belts, charged the battery and mowed for two years then bought a 345. For the past four years the 216 just tills the garden a couple times a year. Still on a 14 year-old battery. The old garden tractors are just as tough as the old farm tractors. Collectable, too!
Get on a couple GT forums, and soon you'll find one (Craigslist has them, also). I found ours near Omaha, and my manager let me rent an SUV for a trip to KC to help out a site. When I had finished in KC, I drove up and picked up the tiller. We already had a sleeve hitch and plow (and disk, but it didn't work well) for the 216, so hook-up was easy. Don't know how the Cub drives one, but on the JD you need a "mule" intermediate drive pully. Make sure your tiller comes with whatever is needed there as the mule can be as expensive as the tiller (ours came with one).irk miller said:I'm definitely on the search for a tiller.
