Check your deed. Mine doesn't allow ANY unauthorized utility encroachments. I have authorized ONE for a $5000 'fee' for a County EMS network line. That's it.

I use an engineering & scientific program tool (Matlab) to process, retrieve & store records into an Access database. Matlab has a Databas toolbox that lets me interact with Excel and Access via a GUI interface that is remarkably simple to construct using the Matlab GUI builder. This has...

My Hy-Run tubes DISSOLVED when I tried to fix a burst seem with 'rubber cement' and a blowout patch.. Try a different brand. Carlisle has worked well for me. Yes, welded wheels intended to be used with tubeless tires often have weld flash that will puncture a tube. I mark the position of the...

Good point. What was the original situation that you thought you needed to change the o-rings ? Maybe it was a false flag. Like TinHack suggests here !

Chinese steel from same junk that the rebar came from that failed in the Bangkok State building collapse. It's called "tofu steel" over there.

I bought a manlift trailer without a title (needed because of weight). Went to a District Court and a judge signed a DOT form assigning abandoned vehicle ownership to me. Paid $15 to DOT. Title came in the mail the next day.

I don't believe you have the springs or rear tires to handle a gooseneck SAFELY. While it's possible for some 1/2-ton trucks to tow certain gooseneck trailers, it's not generally recommended due to potential safety and mechanical issues. Gooseneck trailers typically exert a higher percentage of...

I am very familiar with a hub failure exactly like that: John Deere 14T baler hub. Plunger side.

I found front & rear R4s as new take offs on FB Marketplace from a golf course switching to turfs. There are currently 2 other ads for the same deal there right now.

There's a gal mechanic on YouTube that recommends soaking the line spool with WD-40 after you load it.

What do you think of some sort of 'push-off feet' ? My stack wagons have various versions of 2 plates that extract the machinery. Could be dangerous, though: max height and you on the brakes.

1) You haven't defined the bale size or weights expected. 2) Why folding ? Can't you just do a QA tine rack and pick up or drop off as needed ? 3) If you insist on fold down tines, use a locked down type hinge that you release with a pin? When in bale holding position let the spikes be sitting...

Around here, a blue nozzle cover signifies gasoline. Green is used for diesel on a nozzle that is too large to insert into a gasoline powered vehicle. That is also the way my GPI filling equipment is sold.

In my humble experience, you should consider having TWO fuel dispensers because you are likely to be facing TWO empty tanks: the mower and the storage tank. In my case, I have 2 100 gal diesel storage tanks. When 1 runs out, I have the other with plenty of time to have the empty one filled...

I've gone to 2 100 gal tanks with 12V pumps, each with built-in filter cartridges. I can't lift the 5 gallon containers comfortably any more. Last time I did it, the plastic filler neck came off and fell into the tank. Fished for an hour to get it out. I can fork the tanks onto a small...
