In Reply to: What tractor or backhoe do I need? posted by canadianragweed on June 06, 2013 at 19:43:57:

You know if I was on HVACtalk.com trying to help some poor soul who didn't know how much superheat a walk-in cooler should have and he told me he was venting the refrigerant off to adjust the charge of the unit, I might mention that it was illegal and it was a $25,000 fine to do so if you are licensed, but I would also recognize that people do it all over the world every day. The question was about how much superheat should a walk in cooler have not how much the fine was for venting refrigerant or who would give a sh!t that you did so.

I am not here to debate why and where the general public agreed to such a big government or the laws of creek culverting. I asked about tractors and backhoes. I didn't say I wanted to transport baby seals in my front end loader. I am not even sure I want to build a culvert system. I am first going to just raise my dirt level up and see what happens. You know how it goes with these things.

If you would have started with an actual logical explanation as to why a culvert system would be a bad idea from experience or physics or just plain intuition, I would have listened. You guys are stating that you can't do it just because these people say you can't. I don't accept authority very well.

I am sorry that I would rather stand up and face the felony consequences of moving dirt than lay down and sheep my way through life. It's my freaking land, I bought it outright, I don't owe any bank or anyone anything.

I also love how you people think we can actually divert water from it's natural course. Whatever idiot decided that people had an impact on the path a creek would take over the course of time must also think the world is 6,000 years old?

Just for the fact of the matter though, I will now look into the issue (As I already said) of who "owns" the creek I bought. This was my point earlier. People don't "own" anything anymore and it is because of people like you who agreed to be governed on every single issue of their lives. I may be wrong but, I believe that is why we left England in the first place. Learn how to stand for something even if it means you fall. I'd for one rather fall with pride than be told I was free while being whipped.

Now don't get me wrong I love what America should stand for, and I am quite happy I was born here, but if it wasn't for people like me, you would have already handed over your guns and ammo. Now go buy your Monsanto seeds and drink your Kool-aid and I'll do whatever I please.

I am not your enemy, I took the time to get online and ask others opinion. You should be scared of the people who don't know how to Google something before they do it. Even with disagreement and bucking I will now wiegh the issue heavier than I did before. On the other hand, regardless of what I do, I seriously doubt the "FBI" is going to come knocking at my door to investigate my dirt moving. I've never seen that Criminal Minds episode.

Now let's respond to my ability to maintain and operate a tractor as some of you see no hope for me. I think if I learned how to repair and replace commercial air-conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, and kitchen equipment inside two years with enough expertise to pass a state exam and have operated a business by myself for two years since then I can learn how an engine works.

Everyone seems to think I should rent a backhoe for a week or two like I could actually go a week without 4,000 phone calls of people's crap breaking for what I actually do for a living. You think I don't have ambitions of buying about 100 acres one day? I don't rent or hire anything. You think I would honestly debate a backhoe if I didn't think I had the mechanical capacity to maintain it and only had one job for it to do?

Please let's change the subject to just about anything else and I will make you feel about like I do. I am on my third house remodel by 30, I am talking full gut job. I paid cash for this one 133k. I made that from doing all kinds of jack of all trade things you guys probably have no clue about. Some of you guys I appreciate your posts but it's ridiculous to weed through this mess of posts that don't even remotely relate to my original questions.

Older guys come here to help out the greenhorns to ensure a future generation of people who may know something about a tractor. The people who may own a tractor and are clueless and will always be clueless probably will never find this site. The people that care enough to ask a few questions as stupid as they may be are the people who may actually answer some questions one day.
I'm sorry but some of you may know a lot about tractors but you have a lot to learn about life. What did Einstein say about asking a fish to climb a tree, I can't quite remember. This site is here for support, not your views on politics, religion, and her.

I think I have already figured out that I will learn what I need to know far faster if I read more than I type. So this will be the last time I respond with a statement that doesn't have much to do with a tractor.
