Made it up last weekend to mow some trails and slop in a few plots. My pto was locked up tight on the mower so I couldn't hook on to the tiller. Sprayed with gly and threw out about 1.5 acres of wheat. Then mowed or rolled depending on the plot. Little early for wheat but they had a good chance of rain all week. Sprayed down the PTO with Kroil before I left to hopefully loosen up. Any suggestions on getting a stuck PTO off?

Haven’t had to tackle that as of yet.

Throw some heat on it and it should separate. Don’t get it cherry red but get it hot. You might tap on it pretty hard with a hammer before you try the heat. Gonna need a oxy/acetylene torch to get it hot enough. Good luck !

My usual default mode is "tapping" with a hammer and liberal application of swear words! That failed. Hopefully the penetrating oil works but if not I'll try heating it up. Thanks

Can you get behind the lip with the "hook" on the end of a crowbar? (keep a short wood block handy) A little late for this time, but shot of wd-40 on the PTO before hookup goes a long way...

This was my dwarf chinkapin oak about a month ago. Any ideas what would cause this? Also had the same thing on some bigger white oaks.

Ours look like that, but it is a result of hail for us.

I’ve heard it has to do with the cicadas.

That might be, they did have the double hatch in that part of MO.

North east Missouri has been pretty slow this year both on camera and in person. I set some cameras out on a little 40 ac chunk I had access to closer to Kansas City. Surrounded by unhuntable Corp ground and a subdivision. Once I got this guy on camera I figured I better spend a little time there. Tried a few morning and night sets during bow and rifle season. Nothing. Only had one daylight picture from 11 am. So last Friday I took the day off and got to the stand at 10 am. At 10:20 he came stolling up a mowed path into a little patch of wheat I put in. I was worried about him getting over the fence. Took out his on shoulder, he ran about 15 yards in the timber and stopped so I put another insurance round in. The roofers that had been banging around in the subdision had stopped hammering! Crazy how I spend all my time crafting deer habitat in NE MO and shoot my biggest deer to date in a pasture just outside of city limits.
