Scott,

That's some BEEFY limiter chains on that pup, Bubba! Is the mower the only thing that you'll have to use them on? I drilled out the lynch pin holder rivets on the arms and installed tabs made of strap steel to use as the lower anchor point for my chains. That way, I don't have to rely on the implement having enough 'pin room' to accomodate the clevis (or plate).

Yeah, those bees are a pain! I encountered them when we first moved to our place twelve years ago. I, like you, waited until dark and snuck up on the hole. I poured in about a quart of gasoline, and covered it with a piece of 2 X 12. The next day, they were all gone.

Limiter Chains attached to lower links vs. impleme in reply to Ron from IL, 08-17-2004 10:21:06

I agree with Rob. If you attach the chains to the lower links you don"t have to fool with the chains when you change from one implement to another.

Yeah, chain was cheap enough and I knew the terrain was rough so I went beefy.

As far as the damn wasps, the big problem is I don't know where these new ones are coming from. This will be a pain in the ass...

crazy idea in reply to ScottM, 08-17-2004 10:31:37

Does anyone in your area keep bees? Se if you can borrow a bee suit. That way you can search at your leisure close up to find the nest. Are they yellow jackets or what kind of wasps are they? The only regular wasps I've heard of living in the ground are the HUGE ones. I remember seeing on TV that in FL (I think)there was a guy who would come out and vacuum the pests out of the nest and freeze them. Then you can poison the nest. He sells the frozen pests to a lab that uses the venom to produce anti-venoms for medical use. Since he sells the pests he doesn't charge for the service. Long shot but you might see if anyone around your area does this sort of thing. Just throwin it out there. Eric

Actually, I think the ones I saw were refugees. I went back out late last night when it got cooler, mid weight jacket on to prevent stings at least on the upper area. Threw it into 2nd and went bounding over the unmoved area (the nest entrace was in the last mower path I made). Not a single challenge. Got a good 6 rows mowed before it was getting too dark, so I am hoping I got em. I plan to go out this morning and spray down the hole again, just to be sure. With luck, victory is mine!!!!

The wird thing is, and maybe I just don't know my evil insects, these looked like bees. I mean, I am pretty sure they were a bit furry, not sleek killer machines. I tried to take a picture with a digital camera, but they move too fast and are so small, blowups look like a bigfoot photo...
