Sometime in the past, I saw a YT video where the guy proved the amount of ethanol in fuel by mixing it with a measured amount of water in a graduated cylinder, agitating it, then measuring the result and doing some math. The ethanol would bind with the water, and separate out to the bottom of...

That's the truth! I built a 2 ft cube of concrete for the 3ph that has some old brake rotors, rebar, and stuff embedded in it. Haven't weighed it, but I'm guessing around 1200 lbs. Cheap and effective, but I could have gone lighter. If I had access to a load cell, I would have chained the 3ph...

Maybe grab a rattle can of Fluid Film to help with release of the snow, and protection until you can paint.

Perhaps they weren't that tight when originally assembled, but you got some galling or dissimilar metal corrosion on the threads, making them harder to get apart. I've encountered something similar when separating brass and stainless NPT fittings. Having just run a bunch of 1-1/4", 3/4" and 1/2"...

For all my tie down needs: Mytee Products ™ - Truck Tarps, Trucking Supplies & Cargo Control Their retractable ratchet straps are amazing for lighter loads, and the WLL goes on up from there.

You can use a PTO powered hydraulic power pack to run skidsteer-type hydraulic implements on the FEL. Either pre-made or DIY, but your PTO horsepower could put you right in the middle of that flow range with the right PTO pump.

Huh, interesting. The only Ecodiesel I am aware of is the trademark owned by Stelantis.

I was replying to the guy asking about Ecodiesel deletes.

Taking about emissions deletes, especially for an on road vehicle, on a public forum is asking for EPA trouble. Don't do that to yourself or the forum.

This guy. Good grief.

CK3510SE here too. No such thing as neutral on our PTOs. I installed an overrunning clutch and it makes the connection so much easier. It also saves wear on the internal PTO brake. Before that I would slip a breaker bar through the u-joint area and use that as a lever to turn the implement.

The 3ph is more than capable of lifting both of those mowers. I think it's rated around 1300 lbs at 24 in past the end of the arms. HP wise, I think you'll be fine with either, just go slower with the wider one. Being able to get into a bit of a tighter spot with the smaller one may be a feature...

You'll be fine with the FM78. PTO HP recommendations are such a crap shoot because there are so many other variables. IMO this is where your HST will shine vs a gear drive. Slow down in the thick stuff, speed up when you can, and any speed in between that's right for the terrain. I bought a...

If your CK3510SE is programmed the same as mine, it starts the regen process before illuminating the light on the dash. For a few seconds, I'm aways like "WTF is this thing doing?" then the smell changes and the light comes on, and it all makes sense. I've had two regens now that started when...
