    DR Power

    Don't want to change topic but has anyone used DR pull behind mower. I have an area near a pond where my tractor will sometimes get stuck in softer ground. Was thinking the pull behind would be great since my 4-wheeler wouldn't get stuck as easily

    Kubota L3400 rear hydraulics and 3rd function mods

    Got most of my 3rd function and rear hydraulics plumbed and working. Only need to make brackets for the Quick Disconnects. I used as much of the original plumbing to reduce cost.

    converting a PTO post hole digger to hydraulic drive

    Have an older KingKutter post hole digger. Would like to convert to hydraulic drive. I've heard the ability to reverse comes in handy. Anybody attempted this and any opinion. My main concern is will my Kubota L3400 at 6.8 gal/min and about 2500PSI work. Also the best way to mount the motor...

    Pressure washer steam vs hot water

    Seen two types of hot water pressure washers. Ones with steam, temp about 250F. The others are just hot water, temp around 200F. Anyone use both types and have an opinion on if the steam ones are really worth getting over just really hot water ones.

    septic vs holding tank

    My house has a septic tank and drain field but my workshop is to far away and uphill to make connecting into the system practical. I'm contemplating a separate septic/drain field for my workshop but may just go with a holding tank. My concern with the holding tank is how often I may need to...
