    Gas string trimmer aka weed eater recommendations wanted

    We have a palm tree farm in central Florida which calls for extensive use of trimmers and brush cutters. Our units get much more use than typical homeowners so we need units that perform consistently and reliably. Don’t look solely at purchase price. You can compare two units that have very...

    JD 5055 quick hitch

    I bought Pats for my 4720. Many people love them. An issue I had was the units leaning inward quite a bit when lifting. A prior post here said they just didn’t use the adjustment bolts and seem to be OK with that. I never tried that. I just wasn’t comfortable with such lateral force on the arms...

    Pat's Easy Change trouble

    I bought a set of Pats many years ago. The concept is nice but still requires hands on to use. I made my own spreader bar (does help) Still not a quick hitch. I finally did get an actual quick hitch, big difference. I did have to modify a couple implements but very well worth it. Pat has lived...

    high pressure tree sprayer run on PTO

    Always wondered why people like moss. They’re tree weeds. Left unchecked it kills the host tree.

    XD mower lift

    I have one from HarborFreight. Only difference from MoJack is HF uses a hydraulic jack. With the time it takes to go from storage to use (all have same) I have ended up just using a wheeled floor jack. Much faster and lift height is plenty for all needs.

    Compact Tractor Grapple Build

    Table area grinder storage you will like. I hate changing from grinder wheel to abrasive wheel to cut off wheel to flap sand discs so I have 3 or 4 grinders always set up. They take up a fair amount of work area.

    Water line question

    I agree with the suggestions of larger diameter piping. I have irrigation covering 8 acres of palm trees. I ran 2” pipe for mains and first branch. What was originally run from well pump to house, stable and guest house was 1 1/4”. Flow test was quite different between. Both tested with 5hp...

    first time painting - should I grind off the thin surface rust or just apply rust converter?

    I like to use abrasive pad wheels on my grinder for surface rust as yours. Wipe with thinner, etc. . I like to use a red primer also. People have their own likings that have worked for them.
