Some more to enjoy.

I take it you're doing everything with your tractor's bucket and blade?

What part of MD do you live in, if I may ask?

When we lived in south central PA (Windsor, which is about 10 SE of York), I had a Deere 670, then a 790. About all I ever used was the bucket and blade.

This was a snow blower type of snow, but i don't have one. I did put that thought out today, lol.
Frederick co.
They say we got 3', I'd say that is pretty close. Sunny today so it settled a lot, and got heavier.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Should have added all bucket, i have the backhoe on.

And happy birthday to the wife.

Didn't you live near Dillsburg?

Good morning! 28˚ when I woke up and 60˚ now and windy from the South. The Gulf of Mexico's (which they should rename the Gulf of Texas) warm water breeze is among us.

If they are going to be changing the name of that body of water, the folks in Pensacola and Key West, and all the ones in between might have another idea for a good name.

It's up to 56F here. So warm that I decided to camp tonight. I'm going to watch the first game from the DVR while we are cooking supper. Then I will catch the late game tomorrow.

Gulf of America. That way everyone's included.

RNG, Thanks. Problem 1) To pull a wagon (horse or vehicle) on the streets here in FL it has to have headlights, tail lights, flashers. This wagon also has elect. brakes. All of this is no problem by adding a battery to run it all, my question is I have a set of shafts for the horse to pull it, and those can be switched out for a tow bar for the truck or tractor to pull it (like taking it to a parade). How do I connect a RV 7 Pin trailer plug to it with out getting feed back to the stand alone battery. and make everything work. Problem 2) Wanting a brake pedal for the brakes, will a 120V AC variable switch (sewing machine pedal) work on 12V DC? I know I can do it with a trailer brake controller and just use the manual switch, but that doesn't give me a pedal for my foot while my hands are full of reins. Bet you want to recant your offer now, huh? :laughing:

Look into diodes used for towing a car behind a motorhome. I have them on car that I tow behind my motorhome. PM me if you need more info.

Nope, never lived near Dillsburg or in Carroll County.

My first 19 years were in Catonsville, than after I got out of the Navy, I lived in the Towson/Parkville area for a few years. In 1987, I moved to Pennsylvania.

The snow does not get heavier!
I am so sick and tired of hearing all the doofus news reporters saying that. It settles, it get's denser, but if you've got a 2 foot x 1 foot x 1 foot stack of snow it weighs the same as it packs. It may start out at 14 lbs in 2 cubic feet, pack down to 1'x1'x1' but it will still weigh 14 lbs.

The big problem comes if you get melting on top with refreezing. You can get a significant ice layer built up. I can remember ice skating on the hillsides in Vermont on snow over a foot deep, but with a real thick crust of ice and lots of dense snow underneath.

And that is a real pain to shovel.

We should let Mexico keep the name. After all we did take almost half of their country.

Nah. What you're wanting to do isn't too complicated if you take it a piece at a time. But first a question:

Will you be activating the turn signals, brake lights, and headlights when the wagon is horse drawn?

The headlights only when being horse drawn, not when towed. Brake lights will be flashers only with horse, no turn signal with horse.

Brake lights, turn signal, and electric brakes used when towed, just like any other trailer

I would like to put switches on head lights, and flashers. Brakes are used to slow horse down, kind make it work harder and tire faster so cooperates better, not to stop the trailer. Harness and horse do that unless you live where it is hilly. I don't. Not worried about drain on battery for it won't ever get used but a few hours at a time. Parades, hay rides, and fun around the area. No trail blazing or long distance camping. So I will charge the battery as I need it.

Brakes are exactly what you said, axels and hubs are trailer type, P235-65/15 tires. Sewing machine doesn't hum with no pressure, but spins faster as you apply more pressure, why I thought it would make a good brake pedal.

Was going to run wires from battery to termination blocks with a kill switch between, from the blocks to switches to corresponding items. Then wire the trailer plug like any other trailer tying in the lines in between the rear light assembly's and termination blocks (scotch loks, gotta love em). With the battery kill switch in the off position, and the truck hooked up, will I get any feedback to the blocks? And will that hurt anything? And where do I tie in the brake line?

Using that argument, it should be Gulf of England.

At least we had the good manners to pay the French.

Tell that to your snow blower or tractor, or back. While a given number of snowflakes may not got heavier, the bite your snow blower gets does, as it settles and packs. While improperly stated, I'm sure that's what they mean by getting heavier.

Neighbor just brought over a warm homemade pie to thank me for pushing out their drive.

Terminology help needed.

What do you call the switch on a pressure washer that is connected right before the hose connection and turns the pressure washer on when the trigger is pulled and shuts the pressure washer off when the trigger is released.

That automatic switch is sticking bad, the machine cuts off and will not come back on until I unscrew the switch and pull the plunger out. I want to get a new one but I can't seem to find it using the phrase "automatic pressure on/off switch". I think I'm using the wrong words and the manual is no help.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Comparing a shovel full dry to a shovel full of wet, wet it is much heavier. Yea, not same density blah blah blah..but who gives a ...

Don;

Replacement guns are cheap at Northern Tool and other places. Your gun is probably stuck with minerals in the water?

Glad to see the engineers.

I think it's called a "doo-hickey."
