Zip ties on new Kubotas?! )0:

Here is another one

T.I. - Rubber Band Man (HD / Dirty) - YouTube

Geez, I just couldn't do it. I tried. I got half way through and my neck hurt from shaking my head...
I'm also glad I could only understand every third word.
This is not a video about finding your moral compass....ahem.

Hi Daugen,

We must have been typing at the same time, but I started to enter the lyrics (as much as I remembered) from memory, and decided it was too much work, and I hate doing cut and paste on my Galaxy Tab, so I bagged it.

Even though yours wasn't from memory, nice work!

Thomas

thanks Thomas.
I'm sure the Rubberband Man would have taken a dim view of zip ties, he needs a lot more flexibility...

Rubberband Man.... What about Particle Man?

Yo TomSeller, we're still waiting for that link. I think we can get a lively discussion going about rubber bands next...
and their proper place in the agriculture industry of course...

I checked the rubber band and it is still holding up so the thread have to wait. If the rubber band breaks and my dog or one of my cows eats it, the final outcome of the broken rubber band could make for an entertaining thread.

Now Scooby, I was reaching for the hook button when the video ended.
that was seriously weird.
Did I miss something in my childhood or was the director on acid?
And somehow, clearly by the greatest stretch of your imagination, you are going to have to
link Particle man to a Kubota or a zip tie. You have five minutes. :dance1:

I have no issue with zip ties. They are an affordable and effective means of holding wires together. They are easy to cut, so that I can do work under the hood, and then replace to hold everything where it is supposed to be.

Was at my local Kubota dealer today scouting out a new mower. Looked at the BX and ZD machines.

While checking out the machines I noticed lots of white zipties holding various stuff in position. They aren't even cut cut short and some not cut at all! Can't believe it. Looks cheap to use white zipties from Walmart on a $15,000 new piece of equipment! At least they could use black ones. They should not use either.

Heres a pic.

To OP PapaPerk: you created a monster with this post.... well done. Actually loving it as I am involved with 'cable ties' and related hardware as part of my job. I am enjoying the variety of comments and opinions. Zip ties as many call them have evolved and there are many types (some not so known to the average dude) including high tech polymers, hybrid materials, etc. Somehow I think this thread might take awhile to die. :dance1:

 

[daugen]

so this means we should ask for weather resistant 6.6 nylon?

Dragoneggs: I asked this before and didn't get a response. Likely you are the man here based upon
your job. So that once in a while we get something helpful in this creative thread, could you suggest what to look for, any minimal spec that we can all agree to for outside use of plastic cable ties? The podium is yours.
