    How do you power a tow hitch mounted winch?

    I used an "anderson plug", like mentioned above, off amazon. Its the red plug behind the bumper grill. Pretty solid and easy to disconnect.

    Root Rake Grapple

    Id go with the lighter one and in fact look for one that's even lighter than the 48" grapple you have listed. That's based on the lift capacity of the tractor. W.R. Long Grapple 54" grapple is listed at 360 lbs. There are likely others with similar weights.

    DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone questions

    OK, I went and re-researched. You are correct, 250g and above only requires the reg. fee for recreational flying! I may look into a bigger drone again. I was put off by the part 107 of the larger drone. Thanks!!!

    DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone questions

    As I understand it, above 249g requires rid broadcast and FAA 107 license. So yes, the extended battery sales may suffer. The DJI M4P came with the standard battery and I purchased 3 additional extended batteries before the rid was required. I will probably buy extra standard batteries and...

    DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone questions

    Its a new FAA rule for anything over 249g. Earlier production drones and many drones today do not have remote id regardless of weight. They currently do not have to have remote id 249g and under. The mini 4 pro is under 249g with standard battery so no rid broadcast. Over 249g with extended...

    I have a dji mini 4 pro with the fly more package, rc2 controller and replacement warranty. I bought the warranty since this was my first drone. Its really a 4k camera with wings. Although not a photographer, I have taken some great footage of wildlife including a couple of bucks fighting...

    3D printing software (Fusion 360) help in a design

    Looks like you may have figured this out. Similar to the comment above, I use construction lines and make a grid with the proper spacing then use the circle tool to make the holes at the grid intersections. If you did figure this out, post up so the next person may benefit.

    Looking for ideas and experience with Video Security Cameras on the Farm

    I set up Reolink POE cameras with wireless bridges all off Amazon for my property/shop. I had zero prior experience. As mentioned security cameras aren't as good as the human eye. That being said I am more that satisfied with the results for the money invested. No subscriptions/monthly fees...

    Anyone ever had to clear thorny Locust trees?

    You likely won't ever get completely rid of them. Animals eat the seeds and spread them everywhere, plus they are likely on adjoining properties. Its a constant battle to keep them from taking over once they get started. 2,4,D will kill them when they are under 2' tall, usually. We spray and...

    Which are better ?

    Top is the handiest. You can add extra dimensions to your bucket by adding 5 total. Weld 3 across the top. One in the middle, one at each end. Weld the remaining 2 on the backside of the bucket, one at each end. You will usually use the one on top in the middle. When you pick up...

    W.R. Long 3rd Function Valve Kits

    W.R. Long 3rd function driving an EA Wicked Twin grapple and a W.R. Long 4 in 1 bucket. Over 2000 commercial hours on the 3rd function and it still works perfect.

    Car Insurance skyrocketing

    My vehicle insurance has been going up a lot lately due to the facts mentioned. No claims. I have 4 vehicles insured. No one else drives my vehicles. I told my agent that their risk is automatically reduced by 75% since I can only drive one at a time. Dead silence. I then said I just want...

    Truck winches

    Just now saw this thread and reading through it. We think a lot alike. Made this about a month ago. Drew it up in F360, printed a 3D 1:25 model first to see what it looked like. Then cut it out on the plasma table and welded it up. It is pretty heavy and I consider it only semi-movable...
