The liner for my 1 acre pond cost like $20K in 2014. Wouldn't want to re-do the project this day and age...

I found all the Kioti OEM lighting to be under-performing and swapped them out with Amazon aftermarket units. Maybe you could wire something up yourself and run it into a vacant switch slot inside the cabin ? Most probably less than 25% of the Kioti pricing and way better performing. Extra...

15 miler on the Pacific Crest Trail today with my 18 month old Weimer girl. Central Oregon. We had to turn around once we started climbing Mt Washington and the trail disappeared underneath a snow field. We had a lot of snow this year.

No, brokers are middlemen who will try to take the profit away from you. Their value add is minimal and they are largely extra cost added to the supply chain.

Central Oregon High Desert. I grow a horse blend (Orchard/Timothy/Brome) for local horse owners. Was the first one in my area to cut and bale. My irrigation comes from local snow melt and we've had record snow fall this year. Hoping for 3 cuts, but fearing that the local climate crazies or...

I'm in Central OR, growing desirable orchard mix for horses. Local sales go through Craigslist or returning customers. Having your hay tested helps, esp if you end up <13% sugar levels. The crazy horse ladies all want this, even if they have younger horses, it's the new fad around here. Another...

Looks like OP didn't spend enough time on this site before spending his money. I faced some of the same dilemmas but spent a lot of time studying forums and videos. As far as mowing is concerned, I bought a 6ft flail mower. Can accommodate up to 2" branches from what I recall and has none of the...

Kubota is undeniably a stellar brand, but as a finance guy I went for something equally reliable which offers better bang for the buck.Picked up a Kioti NS6010 which has all the bells and whistles for $40K US (60HP, FEL, cabin, airco, third function,...) I don't really need 60HP, but hell, my...

Austrian economics is a 'school' of economics, it's nothing that the current Austrian government would abide by. It is rather 'pure' and holds people and governments accountable. It is actually the opposite of what most governments currently abide by, which is called Keynesian economics...

Maybe the Trump election has boosted consumer confidence a bit, but the numbers are against him. Since unleashing 'QE 1' under Obama, we've had the cards stacked against us. Every iteration of QE (including under Trump 1) has expanded M2 and basically increased the money supply. What this means...

Yeah, I was wondering about the durability of the stall mat, time will tell. Thanks for that link to Chalmers. Fortunately we have ample time for some mods between our snow dumps, so I'm not too worried about the stall mat durability as of yet.

Hey Bendboater, greetings from Tumalo. I ended up buying the 92" Titan Attachments snow blade and did the 'horse stall mat' modification in order not to damage my driveway. I actually used it the first time this morning and have nothing but positive things to say. The blade worked as intended...

Snow is coming ! I can't wait to drive through the Oregon Cascades passes and see those stranded CA libtards who just moved here. On Summer tires, of course.

Indeed, I have to disassemble some stuff to get to the bottom of this. To be transparent, I've had Porsches and Ducatis with 'engine out' procedures in my shop, but I'm new to hydraulics. This is a wonderful community to learn a new skill set.

Mine never did before I installed my second set of valves. Did you by any chance have the dealer install a second set of valves before you took delivery ?
