    Modification to reduce gravel ingestion on SnowBlower

    +1 for accumulating a layer of packed snow before attempting to snowblow. I'm in northern Wisconsin, and so far this year we've had about 5 inches of snow, but we've had a combination of melt loss and too cold to pack down the snow, so we're waiting for the right snow depth and temperature to...

    SO READY to spring on a UTV - Trying to decide gas or diesel, HELP!!

    My gas 2021 Kawasaki Mule PRO FXT (3/6 seat) maxes out at about 45 mph in high gear. I've read the more recent model years go a bit faster (50-55 ish).

    Dewalt Grease Gun - How to know tube is empty?

    Thanks all - except Tinhack - for your input. Tinhack, it's snarky replies like yours that stop people from posting to forums.

    Dewalt Grease Gun - How to know tube is empty?

    I'm relatively new to using a Dewalt cordless grease gun. Yesterday I was greasing my JD tractor & front end loader, and after finishing with the FEL fittings I realized that even though I'd run 8+ pulses on each fitting, I hadn't actually seen grease oozing out of many (most) of them as is...

    Overhead Garage Door Lubrication In Dusty Barn

    About every year or two I lubricate the overhead door in my garage using a white lithium grease spray. I also have a newly built horse barn with two overhead doors, and the time has come to lubricate those doors, but I'm hesitant to use white lithium grease spray - especially on the big round...

    AC Electric Log Splitter Joy

    If this is too far off the chainsaw focus I apologize!! I wanted to share how awesome I think this little thing is! I just purchased a Boss 5-ton 110 VAC Electric Log Splitter. I bought this for several reasons: -Trying to avoid maintaining gas engines. -One-handed operation (huge!). -Small...

    EGO Cordless 24" Self-Propelled Two-Stage Snow Blower Video

    Bummer. At least it goes together pretty quickly. With a gravel driveway, I used 1x boards under the body to set the skids to 3/4" height. That seems to work well, though after snow blowing on concrete I then have to hand shovel that 3/4" layer of snow. One characteristic I noticed using my EGO...

    EGO Cordless 24" Self-Propelled Two-Stage Snow Blower Video

    After using the EGO 24" two-stage snow blower after a total of 48" of snow fall, I've been looking for a realistic video of its performance on YouTube so others can judge if it will work for them. I think a lot videos show it using the higher speed auger settings that draw down the battery fast...

    Snow blower purchase

    Just to add to my prior post ... We had 1 inch of snow and "squals" yesterday. That means period high winds and very cold temperatures left some areas clear of snow and other areas with maybe 4-6 inch drifts. It was below zero (F) this morning, so the snow was very dry & fluffy, though in...

    WHAT ARE YOU USING TO HAUL YOUR UTV

    I live in an area that is VERY ATV/UTV friendly. All roads except highways allow access and lots of maintained trails. My trailer's primary function is transportation from purchase and to/from the Kawasaki dealer for repair & maintenance during warranty period - hopefully at most yearly. After...

    Snow blower purchase

    Your needs sound similar to mine. I live in a relatively heavy snowfall area of northern Wisconsin. I have a rear PTO snowblower on my tractor that clears the 600 foot gravel driveway that leads from the road, past the house (the garage is behind the house and turned 90° from the road), and...

    WHAT ARE YOU USING TO HAUL YOUR UTV

    I recently purchased a Kawasaki Mule PRO-FXT Ranch Edition (3 or 6 passenger) UTV, and for hauling purchased a 14 foot aluminum flatbed utility trailer made by "Quality Steel & Aluminum Products" in Elkhart, IN. The Mule is 11.5 feet long, and the trailer bed interior is 14 feet long. When...

    2022 Polaris Ranger EV - picked up today!

    Are there any temperature recommendations, limitations, or concerns? Electrification is coming much faster than most people know. Certainly there are pros and cons. I look forward to the simplicity and hopefully less maintenance.
