Hi all, I'm about to start a new project that will require a 50 HP diesel engine driving a couple of hydraulic pumps and I'm looking for a good source for a pre-engineered engine to pump mount. The surplus center has a nice selection of pumps. I'm also considering using this 50 HP engine.. (...

Hi All, Now that spring is here I'm back on my 'project" of running water and electric to my barn. One question that I thought someone here might have some experience with. How deep must I go in running a water pipe next to the house foundation, I'm located in SE PA. Normally, I believe...

Looking to get this floor finished before winter... and lately it's been getting below freezing at night here, with daytime highs in the 40s. Getting different opinions if calcium ad is needed, and I wondered what the pluses / minuses of using the add might be? The guy I would like to use is...

Hi all, I'm in the process of planning some major (for me..) upgrades to my house and barn / shop, and I need some advice in putting in a potable water line between house and barn. The biggest part of the project is trenching (3200 ft) for a closed loop geothermal heat pump system, which I...

Hi all, Just thought I post some pics of my new toy... err I mean tool :) So far I'm really pleased with my choice, I downsized from a NH TC45DA, which is a really nice tractor but was just too large for my current property. To be honest, I was close to buying a TYM 330, but after I messed...

I'm down to the short list for a "work" ATV and really prefer diesels. I'm still having some trouble deciding between these two because of price differences. To be honest, if they were both the same $$ I'd just go for the bota and be done, but I can get the gator for at least $1k less...

Hi all, I have a small landscape business and want to "experiment" a little with doing geothermal loop installs as a sideline. I'm planning on starting on my house first, to get a better idea of time and problems involved. Basically I need to trench between 6 and 8 ft deep, 18 - 24 inches...

Well, I've FINALLY decided to make the investment in either a 1430 or a 1445. I currently own a PT-422, which has done eveything I've asked of it around the home. But as previously posted, I want to do some weekend commercial work as I get ready for retirement and have decided after a lot of...

Hi All, Well, after a lot of consideration, it looks like I'm going to make the investment in a 1430. I'm planning on doing part time commercial work as I get closer to retirement from my "day" job...and just can't find anything better than a 1430 for the kind of landscaping / hardscape work...

Hi Everyone, New to the forum, I have owned a PT-422 for a couple of years and generally like it a lot. I've spent some time reading a lot of other posts here, and I would say my experiences mirror most others.... ranging from the cold starting "problem" of the earlier Robin engines.... to...
