    An uncomfortable conversation. Don't suffer in silence! Embarrassing!

    scootr: When I saw your reply above, I was excited to try this Saw Palmetto. But then I thought I'd better see if there were any reactions to Apixaban (anticoagualant) that I take for my afib heart condition. Now, I don't know if I should try it or not, as taken together, there seems to be...

    Windows 11 Office 365 Question

    Don't understand why you Windows users put up with this garbage. Been using Linux 15 years; it was better than Windows 15 years ago. Today, Linux is so much superior. Why pay for an inferior product that tells you when and how to operate your computer, not to mention compromises your privacy...

    Cheap overhead doors

    I'm close to finishing building a barn. It has (3) 8' openings in which I would like to put 8' x 7' high overhead doors. I built the barn cheap (milled my own lumber) and would like to make the doors as cheap as possible also. Unfortunately, a 8'x7' overhead door in my area runs north of $750...

    10x16.5 tube in a 10x16 tire

    I have a 4 wheel drive kubota L4200; it has industrial tread tires on the front. The size on the tires is 10x16. The right tire has a tube and it gives me no problem. The left tire is tubeless and it leaks flat within a week. I'm having a problem finding a 10x16 inner tube, but there seem to be...

    Aggravating McAfee popup

    If you want to eliminate those type of problems entirely, then drop Windows like a hot potato and switch to Linux. I have been using Linux distros for over 15 years and I have never had a single virus or malware problem.

    Any suggestions how to get this tree on the ground safely?

    It looks like a good portion of the root ball has come up. First thing that I would try would be to hook about 40 feet of chain to the base of the tree and using your tractor, pull perpendicular to the tree. The root ball may just roll out like a wheel. (Make sure to chain to the tractor below...

    Kubota L4200 fuel shutoff

    OK, that makes sense now. I didn't know that. Evidently the relay energizes the solenoid long enough to stop the engine, then times out. The reason it doesn't work is probably the relay; thanks.

    Kubota L4200 fuel shutoff

    I have a kubota L4200. Ever since I got it, the way I stop the engine is to pull the cable connected to the lever on the fuel shutoff valve. That lever also has a solenoid to shut off the fuel that has never worked. Today, I decided to check it out. The wire to the solenoid does not have 12...

    Stumbled onto reliable rural internet access

    Sounds good, but what is the data cap ? Is it like so many others that when you reach so many Gigabytes, it slows to nearly nothing ? Also, does it slow way down in the evening during high usage ?

    Rubber floor mats for inexpensive workshop flooring

    Northern Tool has these 24"x24"x3/8" thick EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate rubber) floor mats that have enterlocking edges for $10 for a pack of 4. I have a 20'x20' raised foundation workshop that has planks for the floor. The planks have about 1/8" to 3/16" gap between them. I was thinking about...

    Propane camp stove to a bulk storage tank

    As a backup to my heat pump, I have a through the wall vented propane heater. It operates on convection only; does not require electricity. It is fed by a 500 gal. storage tank located 20 feet from the house. I would like to tie in to the line coming in to the heater to operate a propane...

    Replace loader lift/tilt cylinders with larger ones ?

    I have a Kubota L4200 with the Kubota 680 loader. The lift and tilt cylinders are leaking. They all are 24" long with a 2" bore. The best price that I've found for rebuilding the cylinders is $100 each. I was looking at the Northern Tools catalog and noticed that I can get new 2" bore x 24"...

    Kubota hydraulic problem ?

    I have a Kubota model L4200 with Kubota loader. I think it's about a 1998 model; I've had it for about 8 years. It appears to me to have a problem with the bucket tilt being very weak. It has been like this ever since I had it. Just now, for example, I unloaded a bundle of 16 pieces of 29ga...

    Kubota loader control too sensitive

    Hello all, I have a Kubota L4200 with loader. Every time I use the loader to do something somewhat delicate, it seems to be too sensitive. In other words, say I want to lift something or lower something slowly, it seems that I keep moving the control lever and then suddenly the loader jerks...

    Net Buddy for your ISP

    Just wondering if anyone here uses NetBuddy for their ISP. NetBuddy uses AT&T towers and if you're in AT&T 4G LTE coverage area, you are supposed to get truly unlimited (no data caps, no throttling) internet at 4G LTE speed for $60/month with no contract. It also requires that you buy one of...
