    GM recalls 721K trucks with 6.2L engine

    No, not mine. You didnt comprehend, chose to take offense, and now insult me because running your mouth before putting the brain into gear, made yourself look dumb. We were actually agreeing about that motor and its purpose, yet somehow you found a reason to make trouble. Just take a deep...

    GM recalls 721K trucks with 6.2L engine

    Your remark implicitly excluded the half ton. My remark explicitly excluded the half ton. So in essence we said the same. Read much ? 🤷🏻

    Hybrid Rotary Cutter Proof of Concept

    In Europe we use pasture toppers to cut and spread the uneaten grass after grazing. Van Wamel makes an offset mower for more than 40 years, which makes the blade of the middle rotor suck the tire track up: And it handles heavy grass quite well. Just no brush. Here is a product presentation...

    Hybrid Rotary Cutter Proof of Concept

    Backsweep is the concept that the creators of the 80s TV series Airwolf missed: Turbo boost (booster rocket) on a helicopter sounds cool to the kids watching it, but it would mean that the blade backsweeping with the travel direction would loose its lift and the forward sweeping section would...

    GM recalls 721K trucks with 6.2L engine

    Man suffers most from what he fears (but never happens) I have a very quiet whine in the transmission, which only i hear. I can worry about it grenading the bearing rollers through the front wall, into the bellhousing, bending the clutch bolts while being pushed through that sidewall too, like...

    GM recalls 721K trucks with 6.2L engine

    Medium duty, as in: It makes no sense to put a cast iron lugger in a half ton. It doesnt give high horsepower but it will deliver longevity and torque in a towing truck.

    Got my "big Husky" running again

    Arrrh i went to the chainsaw shop, Takman, in Ommen. They are dealer of both Stihl and Husky, and if either brand complains, they threaten to drop the brand. So neither brand wants to loose their business. Short said, they are experts. Went there, had them adjust the carburettor untill it...

    Homemade 2 shank subsoiler

    In my area in Eastern Netherlands, most contractors run tandem silage trailers of 40m3 (1500 cubic feet ?) 14 to 16m3 slurry tankers and Deere 6R, Case Puma, NH T7 size tractors. We are here in old country, with treelines around roads and fields. When you go north, to the peat bogs reclaimed in...

    Homemade 2 shank subsoiler

    It depends on your definitions of topsoil and subsoil.. we have fields with only 10 inch of topsoil, before you run into yellow beach sand. Other fields have 16 inch of topsoil, with an ore layer right below it. Where i live now, has about 24 inch of black topsoil.

    Got my "big Husky" running again

    Last spring i had my "big Husky" 455 at the dealer, as it wouldnt idle when hot and only start hot with a knee on the body, one hand on the pullcord and one hand on the throttle. Cutting big oaks into log length slabs was exhausting, pullstarting it every time you put it on the ground a second...

    Grease - is there no better way? Can we talk about this?

    With heavy equipment, you need to add grease untill the old comes out. Thats the only way you expell foreign particles as well as wear particles from the bearing. It does require a pressure wash with hot water and degreasing agent a few times a year, but its the only way to get 30.000hrs...

    Homemade 2 shank subsoiler

    When the ground is really hard and water pools frequently, alfalfa drowns before it has a chance to penetrate the ground. Coming back from visiting family in Canada i investigated growing alfalfa, yet with the amount of rainfall we have in Holland i abandoned the idea. Its too sensitive for...

    Homemade 2 shank subsoiler

    Last year, once the corn was planted, it started raining and it never stopped. Soil was so silted in by all the rain that corn turned purple from oxygen starvation. Some contractors made interrow rippers to bring some oxygen in he soil and save the harvest:

    12 States to ban diesel vehicles

    Same problem in Holland. Heat pump and solar panels are mandatory to get permission to build a new house, yet theres no one to service it if it breaks down. And solar panel companies go bankrupt one after another because the market collapsed since energy companies charge a backfeeding fee if you...
