    Welder Recommendations

    I wouldn't recommend a heavy tombstone welder when the inverter ones are so much lighter to store and to move around. My Lincoln tombstone is sitting on a wheeled cart just to be able to move it.

    Chinese mini dumper stalling in reverse-what to check?

    Both the L and R tracks seem to be operating at the same forward speed. I wouldn't want to try to change the pressure settings that would cause the machine to veer to the left or right because of me not knowing what I'm doing. The pump markings are clear. PGP5133G92 20MPa 4000r/min 2208...

    83 TroyBilt Horse with 13 HP Honda

    I don't know if the Briggs has a different mounting pattern than the Kohler, but I mounted up a HF greyhound engine directly to my Horse that had a 7hp kohler without any adapter plate and reused the existing shims between the pulley and the engine plus added another 3/4 id engine shim to get...

    Chinese mini dumper stalling in reverse-what to check?

    One pump feeds the L track and the other feeds the R track. The valve stack on the left as you are standing on the operator platform controls the L track and the dumper tub cylinder. The valve stack on the right controls the R track and the front bucket cylinder. I haven't tried to run both...

    Yet another trailer decking question...

    One of the issues is figuring out how rigid to make the roof frame so the roof metal doesn't flex and start leaking versus how light the roof needs to be in order to be taken on and off. Have you looked into a metal carport? Seems like everytime I need my trailer, I have to spend an hour...

    Welder Recommendations

    I got a Lincoln tombstone in a trade. The issue I saw was the guy''s dad stored it in a humid environment and made the selector switch stick. Other than the selector switch, the insides looked like one big heavy hunk of transformer and that was about it.

    Chinese mini dumper stalling in reverse-what to check?

    Didn't find anything specific to this kind of dumper machine, but the FB chinese mini forums seems to generally recommend changing the hydraulic oil before operating any of the mini excavators or mini skid steers. Changed out the hydraulic oil with some TSC 46 hydraulic oil. Didn't see any...

    Suggestions for tree removal

    Is the downed tree one of those stringy elm trees? Looks like a continuous run of fence through the corner and so no easy place to just remove some staples and roll the fence back.

    TYM Warranty Disaster

    One of the sales pitches for buying TYMs with the kujke engine has been that the kujke engine can be run without the DPF. Is that really true or do these warning lights on the OP's dash actually mean that the OP's tractor is going to stop working? My understanding of other brands has been that...

    Chinese mini dumper stalling in reverse-what to check?

    I bought this Chinese mini dumper at auction for a little over $1,300 because I wanted an inexpensive track machine to work with in a tight area infested with honey locust thorns. The machine appeared to be unused and still had inventory tags on the rubber tracks when I picked it up from...

    425…changing implements

    You want to be sure that all the connectors are clean before connecting them so that dirt doesn't enter the hydraulic system. I don't know if it's the best option, but I sometimes spray the connectors with carb cleaner and then wipe them with clean shop towels. There's a lot of dust and...

    Suggestions for tree removal

    It's not an emergency like where a tree knocked the fence down and cattle are escaping so I would be more inclined to try to discuss getting access with the landowner. I also wouldn't want to be attacked by a great pyr. I'd still have reservations about working in those vines during active...

    Flail mower for grinding up brush piles

    Smaller brush piles are safer and easier to burn provided you have a clear area to burn them and have a source of water to make sure they are extinguished. It's added work to feed a chipper when you could just pile up the brush with a grapple and then burn it. I bought HF's 79cc clear engine...

    Sand lot+horse manure clean up.

    Suggest you get yourself a set of golf clubs and whack the biscuits like golf balls.
