The rules may have changed when I was flying a drone a few years ago but iirc the max height above average terrain (or building, tower, or other obstacle) was 400'. The drone had to be in view of the operator. Have they changed the regs? If so I might get back into flying.

During the last several years I have purchased the following from EA - all received withing promise dates (varied from 2 weeks to 4 months) 6 way Extreme back blade box blade grapple pallet forks simca tiller subsoiler tooth bar I've been very pleased with everything that came from EA. I'm sure...

With the reviews that top received on Amazon I'd never buy it.

lol, me too but that's on a 6' ladder. Strap on a full body climbing harness and I'm a hero the tower after it was erected. There is a bearing at 60'. The top 60' rotated. :)

I used the tractor as a come along years ago to put up my 120' tower. Had a pulley at the base of the 1st 10' section that was set in 3 yds of concrete. The rope went up the tower to the gin pole pulley and then back to the ground. The next section to go up was just pulled up and lowered onto...

Thanks for the update! Not having any real hydraulic experience other than putting in 3 rear remotes and a TNT I was heistant to use hydraulic cllinders to move the ssqa arms. I spoke to a local tractor mechanic to get cylinder suggestions and he discouraged me. In his words, "if something...

Being in hvac you may recognize Cryotek - a non-toxic antifreeze used in potable water systems. I diluted some and loaded my rears with it. I just wasn't comfortable with a toxic fill.

I beg to differ with oosik but. . . I had ZERO experience with hydraulics yet was able to install three rear remotes and a Top N Tilt. There are plenty of helpful guys on the tractor forums who are very knowledgeable.

I'm looking for a low flow SA20 or equal in good condition. Located in central CT. Must be within 2 hr drive for pick up.

A couple of years ago I put in a new 3/4 acre lawn. The land hadn't been touched in 30 years and the original landscaper didn't put a lot of time in 'derocking'. Because the prices I received for putting in a new lawn were so friggin high I decided to do it myself and purchased a really nice...

I've moved a lot of rocks in a cleared area in the woods with my grapple. They ranged in size from 6" to small boulders that tested the lifting capacity of the fel.

Grumpycat I agree with much of your post but. . . The amp draw for a 204 watt pump =~17amps. 17amps * 8 hours = 136AH

I think this is not correct. If it draws 17 amps for one hour, that a 17 amp hour draw. The watts it uses is 12V * 17A = 204 watts

We had a mole problem right after we moved in. I used trap and killed a bunch but there were plenty left to pretty much destroy my lawn. One of the scientists at the local CT AG station told me about Milky Spore. It kills the Japanese beetle grubs that the moles were after. It took about a year...

I also installed a Fitrite Hydraulic solution on my L3800 - similar size to yours. At 1st I used it to regrade my 500' gravel driveway with my box blade and back blade. It's a game changer to be able to quickly and often adjust the tilt or the aggressive angle of he blades. This is a shot of...
