    Medical Cost

    In order to address healthcare and insurance costs patients have to have skin in the game ( before they are terminal). Feeding I have a DR. ( oncological & General Surgeon) friend on the local Hospitals board ('Non-profit"). I am a member of a medical Heathshare and see all my bills and what...

    Making gas cans great again

    100% - I got rid of all my crappy plastic cans with the EPA restrictive spouts and broke down and paid $$$ for Justrite ( painted galvanized) gas and diesel cans that my kids will inherit. they are safer and pour fantastic, in the long rum they will be cheaper.

    Help converting tractor FEL to Quick Attach System

    Interesting my preliminary measurements looked like the smaller close set holes in the adapter plate might work, I will then have to add those “holes” to the Quick Attach plate in the pallet fork set which lacks them. I have to ask do you recall the style of latch plates you used mine are a...

    Torque Wrench Suggestions

    Beam wrenches are great if they are useable in your application and great quality ones can be found on ebay. I would use and own nothing but if I could do without ratcheting function and length issues. Never having to pay to have serviced or calibrated or do without while they are out for repair...

    Torque Wrench Suggestions

    I own and maintain a small fleet of VW TDI vehicles (5 TDI’s from 2011 through 2015) and when I started dealing with VW’s was unpleasantly surprised with the extensive use by VW’s engineers of torque specifications, torque to yield bolts and one time use bolts. I investigated and concluded that...

    What is in my yard

    Hard to tell from the picture with nothing to reference for size/dimension but that looks a lot like when raccoons or possums hunt for grubs or bugs/larva in yard. I actually observed a raccoon making a kind of twisted round conical depression in my yard at 05:00 while hunting for something (we...

    Kioti CK20S Hydraulic issues

    Wow, You are beyond my experience I have only replaced hydraulic pumps, drained system , changed filters, replaced a leaking cooler and repaired a broken FEL control. I would try to contact who ever you bought the pump from assuming they are Kioti dealer if they are unable to or refuse to help...

    Kioti CK20S Hydraulic issues

    I agree I am pretty sure the start of all this was the incident where the lever got pulled back by heavy brush and vines when I was bush hogging a lot and did not hear the dead heading quick enough due to the noise from the engine and bush hog deck. The additional failures I attribute to the...

    What would these 2 parts be called?

    I would show to Bob at MIE, he is very nice guy and very competent, you are luck to be right down the road. I’m with K5lwq I would weld it and use it. I have spoken to Bob at MIE many times and buy all my parts from them but I’m 1000 miles away (my dealer is 20 minutes away and useless at ****...

    Kioti CK20S Hydraulic issues

    Hello, Just saw your post. Just a heads up. I have a CK20hst and am on my 4th hydraulic pump. The 1st one failed and I took to dealer & it was replaced with Kioti paying parts and me the “labor” (machine was just out of Wrnty). The dealer mechanic said the fuel cam was broken and pump was shot...

    CK 20HST needs new tires

    Hello, I’m located in the Mid Atlantic,(Delaware) and it’s time to replace the tires on my CK 20HST it came with industrials which I thought performed great. I have a FEL and Kioti backhoe unit and have done a fair amount of finish mowing and brush hogging with good success and even a fair...

    Questions about replacing equipment trailer deck wood and repainting trailer chassis.

    Yeah, Delaware's trailer tags, registration and inspection used to be cheap and easy & still some exemptions for farming & commercial fishing ( but you have to have proof) then @ 15 years or so ago our Governor Ruth Ann Minner AKA Broom Hilda (she was actually a tow truck driver, later owing...
