In this environment - we get very different results. 16rs out in the sun here and you would be looking at all new hoses.

That's a false urban legend. Just watch the hoses and the seat crack and watch the paint fade to see the reality. :giggle:

A cowboy was riding fences in CO last fall when out of nowhere a shot rang out and his horse drop out from under him. Pulling himself free from his dead animal and getting to his feet he sees a woman with a rifle coming out of the brush. She half raised the rifle and told the man to step away...

I have a Besto HD flail 7ft that has been performing well. My tractor is 52 hp. Sounds like 4ft would fit your tractor best.

I had a Ford gas V8 truck. Pulled a gooseneck horse trailer 2-3 times a week and worked construction usually putting 100 miles on it every day. I racked up some miles to say the least. Manufacturer recommended 3500 mile oil changes. I ran full synthetic oil and religiously changed it every...

I too have operated SS for decades and own one now. If the failure was caused by faulty attachment, pins not fully seated or overload and bounce as I suggested then it's operator error. I'm just saying, if you break the handle on a hammer it's not the hammers fault. If you bend a bucket or drop...

I put a new battery in the old girl today. The old one failed to start last week. Tractor had been sitting for a few weeks and it had been cold but not so cold it should have failed. Besides it was 6 yrs old. I replaced 600 CCA with 750 CCA. I used the cylinder locks I made last fall. No...

Hawaii fire 2023 claimed 100 lives Lahaina Town on August 8, 2023. (1) Immediate and proximate cause: live-wire electric power lines placed on wooden poles which were blown down by strong winds, and ignited fields of parched, dry grasses near Lahaina Town.

CA just got 10 ft of snow. Where is the promised global warning when you need it :LOL:

Looks like nothing went to waste

That's great but not at all what we see on affordable options here in the US. We see something that looks like a remote crane operation control.

Everything I've seen offered has a clunky looking remote with 4 buttons. That would have to be zip tied someplace when in use ? As a SS owner I don't see that as a user friendly application being you need both hands on the sticks at all times to maintain straight travel. Maybe I'm missing...

Do your plastic welding on the underside. Most plastic welding kits include fine screen material for structural repairs like this. Then do your cosmetic repairs on the top side. My experience is buy the highest wattage welder you can afford for the best results...

With an offset mower you have only one wheel in the uncut grass vs 2. Unless you have a mower on the front of the thractor you just have to live with a wheel in the cut. I use a 7ft offset flail which sticks out on 1 side allowing me to get as close to the fence or tree or creek as I dare. Last...

My Recues attack the feed bowl. :LOL:

I love the idea, 2 things I don't like about this type of grader blade is; 1 > the wheels roll in the rough terrain which will cause variations in the blades engagement vs rolling in the finished grade like they do behind a landscape rake. 2 > The electronic blade control seems like it could be...

Hello Mr Jones - Your new truck will arrive today.

Funny story: I came home from work one day and there was a white car parked near my gate and man in a pith helmet with a clipboard on his hands and knees in the ditch across the street. :oops: I got out and asked what he was doing. He explained that Verizon was going to trench a cable up the...

This green poly tank is about 20 yrs old and the crack appeared in the lower section... I plan on giving it a go. Figured I have little to loose at this point. I already replaced it so the second tank would just be a holding tank with fire crew access if needed.

If you can't keep it clean or not willing to deal with refilling guns, you should not buy it. Look for a pallet of refill tubes?

The operator had a maximum load and he bounced it. Operator error. I'm not surprised something failed.

You might be old if your first data processor is the same as your last data processor.

Bell bottoms were cool :cool:. Only thing cooler was Elephant Bells. Which later became full on Clown attire. You gotta love 80s style and colors :LOL::ROFLMAO::p

Buddy had a 57 Chevy. The gas tank fill was behind the tail light.

When you get old(er) those roofs and ladders are accidents waiting to happen.

I reclaimed a 5 acre clay field last yr. Disced it twice going N>S and then E>W. Then tried smoothing it with the gannon but the gannon filled with the weed material making it inoperable. Finally removed the tractor bucket, turned it over, and drug the field. Better but not smooth enough. Then...

Spartan makes this one. At $16k it's too pricy for me. I would be interested in making one but not permanently modifying my SS to one function only.

Pictures Please.

That's reason enough :eek:

Your equipment needs for construction could be very different from your equipment needs for maintenance. Construction is a small time frame while maintenance is endless. My 773 Bobcat SS outweighs my MX5200. 4 wd is a must have feature for useability and safety. Operators tear up the ground not...

Buy a skid steer and rent a hoe when needed. I have a SS and a Tractor. I've rented a hoe twice in 25 yrs. Total backhoe cost was $1k. Personally I find the hoe to be a hinderance when not digging.

Who said anything about a free car...I'd be quite leary about a free car myself. When its 115º and the AC is on full and barely keeping the car under 100º you may rethink that sunroof. We took my wife's mothers car when she passed. Free car. It was a mechanic magnet needing repairs monthly until...

Our mud is clay. I avoid it like the plague. When I do get it on the tires or shoes, after it dries it wears like iron.

I've never seen the need for a sunroof in Southern CA. Too much sun here to begin with.

Guy I knew had 30 head of Buffalo. Pen was made of telephone poles... they still pushed out. And when they did there was no herding them back, he said wait until they want water and they will come back.

Fabricate and mark the mounting points. Swing the shoot to both stops left and right. Measure the min and max cylinder length needed.

The problem is looking for the remedy in a pill instead of the diet and exercise IMHO.

A friend had a similar experience. His doctor put him on popular med but the dose was too high and he ended up in the hospital with extreme low blood sugar. 4 days later when released he started doing his own research and ended up adopting a Keto diet. The results were good. I am also on a Keto...

Reversing Type 2 diabetes is relatively easy with some education and discipline.

I bought a used 2005 773 Bobcat yrs ago. First thing I look at is the hr meter. If it's high or not working I walk away. Next I look at the general condition and care of the machine. Signs of abuse or neglect are deal breakers. Mine was about 10 yrs old with 3500 hrs, all new filters, fluids...

The wife's Fire Comfort K9 GiGi relaxing....

I got a drivers license in 1970. My first car was a $50 VW with no brakes. Fixed and drove that until winter... New England winters are long with no heat! Bought a 1960 Chevy Impala for a $100 with a heater. Then a Pontiac Star Chief with a big block, also for $100 and we thought that car was...

More rain has arrived in southern CA. Local lakes already at record high levels. Cars and Coffee canceled. I plan on a trip to the gun store today to look at shotguns instead. Visited an old friend yesterday. Set up a solar powered gate alarm so they will know when somebody is coming up the long...

Many of my $100 specials had to parked on a hill...you know you are old.

What chipper is that and how big a branch will it take?

Ideally align the lift with the doors so you can drive on and drive off without backing and yes move an entry door so you don't drive over/into the lift.

Looks like a fun project. Large excavator for sure. Depending upon how heavily it is reinforced a regular bucket may take it down without a hammer being needed until you hit the foundation. Be careful !

Personally I feel like a 2 post lift offers better access for working on cars and a 4 post lift is better for storing cars in the air when you want to park a second car underneath. Also I would put the bathroom door out into the main shop, not into the office. 9 times out of 10 when you need to...

You know you are old when you have to start telling a young female doctor about your private old man problems. Sheesh! 🥵

I think you are over thinking this. I'm not saying that you should disable safety equipment. But I have disabled the seat nanny on my lawnmowers and tractors for the past 30 yrs. I have never been bounced out of the seat. I watch where I'm going and wear the seatbelt in dangerous situations.

I saw this done in person once on a tractor. The guy that did it had obviously done it before. The only advice he had to offer on this technique was "Don't tell my Dad I did that!" :LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL:

I have a 200w amazon kit Amazon.com Repaired a large in ground valve box that had been split and discarded when run over by a truck. Worked good. Looks like getting nice finished results might take some serious practice, sanding, painting, etc. I used paperclips for stitches. Simply push them...

I have recovered old seats but with this much foam damage you will not get a like new seat... TS has a pretty good selection of seats.

Also note 900 hrs over 20 yrs is 45 hrs a year...that's average for a hobby farm like horse ranch or such. I have several used machines, cars to tractors that I have bought mostly used over the years. Sometimes paying a little over what everybody else is willing to pay is the only thing between...

That should make it go like stink! The car weights 2250 pounds. My FI 302 puts out 375 hp. Mathematically that is 6 pounds to the hp which is enough to kill the unsuspecting driver. For reference a Mustang GT with Coyote 5L is about 10 pounds to the hp. I had that car, it made 60 mph in 4.3...

If your only concern is that the local dealer said if he had it he would sell it for less... well, he doesn't have it or one like it and there is no guaranty what his price would actually be. I like it. It has all the options you want. With low hrs and in the condition you want. Worse case...

My 8 ft barn door has about 1.5 inches in the clear when I roll the tractor in or out... This ensures that the cat who sleeps on the roof is never taken out for a ride. :LOL:

It is a MkII Factory 5

Top down manual transmission is a pastime I enjoy. Lots of convertibles still available. Even a new 5.0 mustang. Couple of my weekend cruisers

I mounted a 55 gal drum on my Towner disk. Simply chained it down with a racketing binder. Filling the barrel with water adds 500 pounds of weight to the disc, helping it cut the hard ground here.

20 yrs ago I bought a cheap old Towner 6x7 with steel wheels. It had a screw jack adjuster for the wheels. I replaced the screw mechanism with a hydraulic cylinder so I can adjust depth or just lift it up to move it without the discs touching the ground. It is probably 50-70 yrs old, solid as a...

Ornamental wrought iron gate or fence bits?

We used Red Wing boots in construction yrs ago. They wore like iron but were heck to break in. We would bring our old boots to work and change back t them at lunch time ... ah what a relief. ;) But I've heard the Red Wing quality is in the toilet now? It's Merrell for all my boot and shoe needs...

I like the kick stand on that one. It looks well made and is fitted with mounts for a cylinder to change the angle of the blade. I added a cylinder to mine for that function. Being able to change the angle from the seat is a game changer for rake operation. I rake mostly fist size rocks off the...

The Bestco HD 7ft flail I bought was the higher end of a low cost line up. Still not cheap but not high either. It has held up for 4 yrs now mowing about 10 acres 2-3 times a yr but I'm not real hard on stuff either.

Consider asking the driver to move the trailer out from under the load once it is raised up off the truck bed, so you can lower it without having to move the tractor once he has pulled away and you lower the load to where any tilting issue mitigated.

I thought he said he has SSQA forks. Not slip on bucket forks. The load is distributed across the forks not at the ends. Load rating has a safety margin built in. There is no harm in lifting it up off the deck a few inches to see if the tractor has enough ballast. I would do this all day long...

Merrell boots for work and play. Comfortable all day. They do run narrow but that's what I like. They have serious sales on discontinued stock - they are always introducing new stuff. Old stock at 50% off is good enough for this guy. When I find something I like I usually buy a second pair...

You got this, Be sure to have lots of counter weight on the rear of the tractor. Unload on a flat solid surface that won't let a front wheel sink in under load. Be sure you slide the forks all the way in and try a 6 inch lift without moving to ensure the tractor will not tilt forward then slowly...

I can't take any credit You gotta love google.

Sometimes, when mature and happy over time, Crocus may even multiply by self-sowing seed.

I have 3/4 crushed rock gravel in my drive around the house and barn. So I have 4 hills and some flats. It's a challenge keeping the rock on the hills and tractors tend to dig too deep in loose gravel - problem is exasperated by the gannon tilting down when the wheels start up hill and doing the...

Here is a pic of this carry all you speak.

My MX Kubota only whines when I work it really hard. Reminds me to choose a lower gear, 4 wd, or otherwise reduce the load.

Lots of good ideas. I need 10.5 x 16 inches about 1/4" think min

You know you're old when .... ;)

Try the corner of the bucket vs hitting it full or square on.

While you wait for the ripper bar try chaining your technique. Enter the pile at mid height from an angle with a little more speed and see if You cant get a little bite. Dump that and try again from a different angle always using the corner of the bucket. Once you have dumped a few half or 1/3rd...

Siri - turn the flashlight on. Siri turn the flashlight off... works for me :)

I have a Bestco 7 ft flail behind my MX5200 tractor. Going on 4 yrs without a problem. I did bend up the trailing bar backing into a tree stump last yr, I replaced it with a thicker piece of angle iron. Top and tilt are needed for general adjustments to keep the mower properly angled to the...

Ugh. Just filled the tractor fuel storage tank with red diesel at $4.13 a gallon. I had to ask twice, are you sure because that's $1 more than I paid last summer. When you gotta have it you gotta have it. They've got us over a barrel :LOL:

We had big mouse, squirrel, rat, and mole problems before we brought the Rodent Rangers in from the local Mission Paws association. They spay, vaccine, and chip all the kitties so you don't end up with sickly cats or unwanted litters. Been 4 yrs rat free - very cool and beneficial saving wild cats.

They were popular advertising platforms given away at banks, restaurants, and quicky marts. Oh but when they got wet :cry:

Good Monday morning! It's Presidents day. Certainly we can celebrate having had better presidents than what we got right now. In California we are prepping for another storm. Don't think it will be as nearly as big as the last one. Piddle and catch up will be the MO today.

check said: Have to take the tractor in because a big round fell on the hood, dent it, and cracking some plastic parts inside. This is going to cost me maybe $2000!😫 Curious if the round fell out of the back of the bucket...My Kubot has a warning sticker about that potential danger.

I'm going to try that. Thank you

You are old if you lit those cigarettes with a book of matches.

100 yrs ago people could change their ancestry just by saying so .... my grandmother did that. She was born in 1896 or 99 depending upon which story you believe. We only found out the truth when my sister did the genealogy and DNA tests. :rolleyes: She lived to 92 yrs telling the lie.

You are old if you ever wore a pocket protector.

Interesting rig, looks like it would take a bit of experimentation to get good with it. Any movement on the first gannon would change the angles on the second gannon which also has it own adjustment

Does anybody know where to buy replacement material for a dog door flap? My Dogs seem to tear the flap every couple of yrs. and new units are silly $.

The MX allows the operator to stand and run the tractor once the seat nanny is disabled. I have gotten off with the PTO running, no change. I have even set the cruise control real slow and gotten off to pich rocks in the bucket.

Color me impressed. Wow (y)

You could add a thick 3" plate along the side, hard-surface the contact edge and be good to go for a long long time. You really don't want a wide skid on that edge as sometimes you will want that edge to be able to sink of cut into whatever you are grading.

Flying went well. 9 or 10 flights between us. The weather cooperated. A little breezy for foamies early on but the wind layed down and the sun came out for the second half. My old friend and I had not flown in 2 yrs. I had to get my eyes fix to resume and I drug my feet for a year then it took...

58º going to 68º today. Not a foggy morning for a change. Old friend and I will meet at the RC club and fly a little. Just the smaller electric models. I'm restarting as I took 2 yrs off to fix my eyes and ditch some of my workload so I have time and energy to pursue the hobby again. Should be...

I've seen this done. It works okay.

In the relatively short 25 yrs I've been in this location I've seen a lot of farmland grow housing tracts. Developers just offer way more $ than crops and farmers get old and tired or their kids buckle. It's sad and it has ruined what was once a beautiful valley of wheat, grapes, and citrus groves.

Yep, I wish they were cuddly but then, they would be in the house scratching up the furniture instead out working in the barnyard. ;)

Scarey - you 2 thinking alike...in sync :LOL:

If it's just frozen a few inches on the outside then I think it will be no problem. If somehow it is frozen through and through then no, no way you can move a manure glacier with a tractor... you will need a dozer. A big one. But the upside is you will only have to make one trip :LOL:

Disabling that seat nanny should be simple....

Standing up to see the connection is the lowest tech option :)

I have to stand to see the last few inches of forward movement. It works okay.

No Scarifiers. If you catch it right you will not them and they won't be pulling up rocks and chunks of earth. I only use scarifiers when I have a deep cut to make which it sounds like you do not. It may take a few sessions after a few rains to get it where you want it. Then seasonal maintenance...

I have used the LP with good results on our clay soil. The key to any dirt work is to ensure the moisture content is right. Too wet is a MESS and too dry is like working concrete. If you rip up dry dirt it won't work well or stay where you put it. Watch the dirt start to dry and hit it when you...

I had a Savannah cat that would only drink if the water was running...ended up buying her a water bowl with a fountain feature. She loved to bring the water to her mouth with her paw.

The commercials suked just like the halftime show.

I have used the NE 16gal sprayer for years. The 12v broadcast sprayer covers about 8-10 ft depending and the included wand sprays up to 25 ft depending upon the pattern. Not as high as the OP wanted but its a great sprayer for general use. I put it in the back of a golf cart. Easy peasy.

Pricey but it looks like it will do the job.

When they install a pothole patch here they need a dumptruck of asphalt (who knows how hot or cold that is at the end of the day) and truck with 2 guys who put out traffic control and a supervisor car who watches... Layers of government!?

There are alot of essential minerals and vitamins in that supplement that boost the immune system, digestion, and increase energy among other things. The bottle is a 60 day supply, I saw improvement long before the bottle was empty. GL and tell a friend. Friends don't let friends dribble LOL :p...

I got this tip from a friend, his friend got this advice from his doctor. Take Saw Palmetto and Phosphatidyl Serine to shrink an enlarged Prostate gland. I found it in a Men over 50 daily supplement from GNC called Mega Men Essentials 50 plus. It worked for me. I lost the frequent urgent need to...

Haven't seen temps in the teens or even the 20s in years (y) 38-39º was the lowest AM temp this winter

I notice rust on the break so it may have been cracked for some time before the total failure. Shame nobody caught that in time. Reminder to crawl under the machine with a flashlight once in a while.

The weather tax, lol. More like a sunshine tax. Saw the snow storm hitting New England to day ~ it's going to be 68º and sunny here today. I'll take it. :cool:

Beautiful sunny 68º last few days. More rain on the way :rolleyes:. Statistically we need it but not really, the ground is soggy. Trying to organise the neighbors into donating for new road base material for the community road. Frustrated they can't swing it as I swing it and do all the work...

Fingers crossed...

I cheaped out $100 bought a 18v Ryobi 1/2 " with 275 ft pounds torque. If that don't do it's a 3/4 drive breaker bar and pipe extension. I have lots of ryobi 18v batteries, all my battery tools use the same battery. An old habit from my construction days

That's a nice one !

Take some prostate supplements - fixed it for me (y) The worst was the dribble after peeing 😣 The urgent need and the dribble all gone now. Phew

This ^^^^ (y) I'm mostly certain the same is true of rural residents living and working outside of metropolitan NY, Boston, Philadelphia, and so on. Unfortunately for all of us the largest segment of our population live in these Metropolitan areas - in fact in the 2020 consensus 86% of...

I too am against many of the CA regulatory actions. But - The CA lands and weather are some of the best and nicest in the world. The average temperature here in February is 68º with about 4 days of rain for the month. That's pretty hard to beat. Rural CA is not comparable to metropolitan LA or...

I had a used beat up 8 track cassette player in my first apt. I had 2 cassettes; Chuck Berry and Johnny Winters. Played them to death... lol

Same reason I don't drive a Lambo... So what's the problem? No problem, I don't even want a Lambo or an overpriced home in SF valley. lol

I had one of those. Sure not for brush but does a great field cut. Plan on a whole day to sharpen all those knives ! Mott made some very good mowers.

My property taxes are locked in (1978 CA proposition 13) and cannot go up more than 2% per year. I started paying $3k a yr 25 yrs ago. It's up to 4k now or $11 a day. by the way 20k is $55 a day rounded up.

My Bestco HD 7 ft flail has the big heavy hammers. It's rated for 3" stuff. Does a job on it if I hover over the limb. It's a pretty rough cut if I try to go with any speed, but the BH has similar limitations and results.

There is a good amount of incorrect information in this post. CCW availability varies by county but some counties are as big as some states. My county is one of the larger ones and they are issuing CCW permits

I used to quail and dove hunt in the CA high desert. Plenty of both of them back in the day. But not much to eat. Really it was better shooting than eating them. lol

You know you are old if you remember transistor radios and TV broadcast went off the air at 10 pm leaving a test pattern on the screen.

A basic Landplane. They are good for road maintenance and weed abatement in some applications where rocks are minimal and soil does not clump.

I have both. The flail makes a better cut in perfect situations. If rocky use the BH. The BH blades may hit a rock twice as you move over it where the Flail will hit it 10 times. I made the mistake of mowing a known rocky field with my flail once and it cost me a set of blades. Ground speed is...

Go 9ers ~ and surprise - the halftime show suks.

I'd flag that ad. Looks way to good to be legit. For $10k I'd buy it and ship it to CA. ;)

4wd is a must have. 4 wd tactors have more front end weight which increases stability even when not engaged plus the obvious increased traction when engaged. If you use it once its worth every penny imho

Mowing and grading is a side hustle. Mostly just helping out some neighbors. I charge $75-100 an hour depending on how hard I'm working the machine. Light mowing $75 digging, grading, discing is $100

I have a mile of road to maintain. I have a 50 hp tractor and a 50 hp SS. The tractor is best for the road maintenance with either the box blade or the landplane. It takes both attachments to meet do all the work. There is a grader blade attachment available for a SS with forward wheels but they...

The Parker cattle ranch in Hawaii is legendary. Established in 1847 it spreads across 130,000 acres. Raises beef and some fine horse flesh.

Hawaii Five 0 was another cop show 1968-1980 Who could forget Columbo with Peter Faulk :coffee::LOL:

It sounds a little high to me. I guess it depends upon how long it will take you. A big garden tilled for $200 may be okay but if it takes 2 hrs, that may be too much. I charged my neighbors $75 hr to mow. When I raised it to $100 I lost half of them. And that's okay ~ I was doing it for fun as...

It looks like they may have scraped soil off of the bare area to build up the house pad. IF that is the case there is no topsoil left and the seed may fail.

You know you are old if your childhood included your Mother telling you to go outside and don't come back until it's dark.

I suspect not all forks have the same strength too, I know you will check the ratings.

Yikes, Like my wife, it might be cheaper to keep er o_O

Compare the shipping too.

Cheaper to buy a full set ? Only 1 shipping charge too. To answer your question - I believe the forks for a SS attachment are a standardized size and fitment. I bought a pallet grapple without forks and put an old pair of forklift 42" that had been replaced with 48" on it. No problem...

Operated shuttle shift tractors alot - no clutching is needed unless changing gears. Even then some of these tractors had a 4 spd tranny and no clutch

I raised the seat and improved the ride on my Kubota MX tractor using a suspension base. Be aware that raising the seat will make the steering wheel a longer reach. I'm 6ft tall and it feels like the tractor is designed for somebody shorter... 1-2 inches makes a big difference.

And it over yet ~ raining now and more rain to come through the next 12 hrs.

Be patient. You will get yours.

I'm a greaser of bearings and pivot pins. So far 3 or 4 yrs on the flail mower with no known problems. Bestco 84" HD

Good Morning We got some rain last night. Nothing like they did north of us...all the drain and gutter cleaning paid off. No flooding problems here. The 2 foot FP flue extension I put on 2 weeks ago has fixed the draft problems that plagued our zero clearance FP. Nice to keep a fire in the...

I had a similar need. Maybe not as rough as your terrain but lots of rocks on the surface. I mowed it once with a flail mower and it destroyed the hammer set. :cry: Last yr a friend gave me an BH 5ft mower. It was 50 yrs old or more, built like a tank. We cut the blades short and put about a...

My 773 Bobcat has a lift capacity of 1750#. The MX5200 lift capacity is 2275# They share many SS buckets and attachments. No problem hooking them up.

I hear ya. I had 2 big trees severely trimmed next to the house last week. Glad I got er done... expecting 60-70 mph winds with driving rain. Looks like those winds are already wiping up the surf. All the good stuff is in the barn. We are supposed to get it tonight. Sunny reasonably warm and...

Prepping for a massive rain storm... brought some firewood in. Stacked more in the barn. Ordered full set of filters for the 773 Bobcat. Needs service before spring. Need to give some love to that V2203-E Kubota 4 banger. It's a workhorse. Will piddle around and much of nothing today (y)...

Perhaps you can reset the PC to a preupdate time? There is also a way to undo a windows update which is a little deeper but both can be done. Remember to set/save a backup on a good day often so you have lots of reset options.

Many yrs ago I accidently grabbed the wrong can while trying to finish up mowing in the fading evening light... mower ran rough and weak but I finished... wasn't till later I saw my mistake. Drained the tank and put gas in it and it ran for many yrs after.

Sorry your cat passed away. Shocking it was so sudden.

So relieved they finally confirmed parking for her private jet at Las Vegas Airport...phew I was worried about that - not. Go 9ers

Wife of 26 yrs and I were married by a Judge who was the friend of a friend in a National Park with family present. We paid for a reception dinner for all participants. Cheap, legal, and Western. P.S. I know it will cost a lot more to undo than it took to do :LOL:

It should have read 10g wire 6x6" oc (on center)

The result being that no air reached the connection. We found lead acid batteries outgassed corrosive vapors which caused the corrosion. When sealed lithium batteries were used in the same application no corrosion resulted.

I find whatever you use to suspend the reinforcement the bar or wire must be pulled up. Step on a chair and it sinks down and stays down 99% of the time. Fiber is okay. Fiber reinforced concrete still cracks and can move up or down on one side of the crack. Rebar adds significantly more...

A tragic story and a tragic day

You know you are old when you hear your favorite songs playing in the grocery store or elevator.

My friend used an old lawnmower engine mounted on a dolly. He would roll it out and fill the tank with mix of gas and waste oil. Oil for more smoke. Then put the flexible exhaust tube down the gopher hole and let it run...seemed to work?

Her husband or boyfriend ditched her so he could spend more time playing video games.... reminds of an old song. 'You don't know what you got till it's gone.' :cry:😭🥴
