They decrease the contact area, therefore increasing the point load applied to the ice/snow surface. Increased point load encourages breaking the smooth surface condition creating a bite (increased static friction).

I’ve had 3 direct drive inboards with mercruisers. 2 GMs and a Ford, all 3 carbureted sub 250hp. 1 mercruiser I/O in the 250hp range 1 mercruiser V-drive around 300hp Now I have 2 Illmors which I have been very happy with, 1 direct drive at 330hp (GM 5.x variant) and 1 v-drive at 420hp (GM...

I wish our delta was calculated yearly instead of monthly. I’d double my system and generate massive power during the summer months. Help out the winter month shortfalls. They way it is now, basically size the system to not exceed total usage in July/August months as to not give the power...

I think much of who your best service and favorite airline is based on your location… Mine are American and Southwest because I live in Dallas area and far less drama if a flight change is required. If I lived in Atlanta, my favorite would probably be Delta for the same reasons. As my status...

The Demon YouTube video on the drag strip (sub 10 sec if I remember correctly) is very well done. Been out for a number of years. Factory trans brake? Or line lock? Air conditioned bypass to the intercooler I believe.

I generally have 1 rough flight per year, generally weather related. I don’t fly much for work anymore so only 10 or so round trips per year. Mostly American, 2nd being Southwest. TSA PreCheck is most definitely worth it. Helps to understand what you are due as a customer for a late or...

Ditto on checking salvage. Previous owner of my little Bota L2710 must have jumped on the diff lock with wheels spinning. Broke the ears off and ground up some teeth on the Bull gear for right axle. New carrier and bull gear from Kubota was north of $1,000. Salvage parts, $125 delivered...

Ummm. No CDA, PVAC, N2, H2/N2, O2, CO2, MA, NO2, He, etc are run in copper in industrial, factory and healthcare settings all the time Current project I’m on has CDA in aluminum 3-6” and Copper/Viega 1/2”-2”. Not a huge CDA plant, but larger than your typical home shop at 4,060cfm @ 125psi...

Agree. I’m paying for transformers, poles, lines, etc… separately. I’m only credited for the same wholesale electric price my coop would otherwise be paying Brazos Electric to purchase the power. The wholesale electric price is the majority of the cost on the bill. I pay $36/month flat (up...

I don’t use it for free. Hence the minimum charge for distribution. No matter what my power bill can’t go to $0 unless I disconnect service. The usage is net metered by month. Consumption - Generated = Delta * Rate = Energy Bill + Min Connection Fee for distribution, admin, fluff = Total Bill...

With my coop, energy fee is billed separate from the transmission. I am returned the same value for the energy produced with solar as I purchase it through the coop for. Ultimately the coop doesn’t product power, they just purchase it from the wholesaler (Brazos). So they purchase the power...

MASTAN is another great free structural analysis software. Easy to get your deflection(or failure) point loads, distributed loads, single elements, trusses, connection types, etc…

I’d bet 90% of my tire service is through Discount Tire. Happy with their work and their repair policy is great.

No documented agreement, HOA or otherwise. They have nothing to compel them to pay for shared resources/maintenance. I’m sure he appreciates the OPs contribution. Hence… HOAs

Used to be the case for sure. Now their fit and finish blows the other 2 away. Just had to get them away from Chrysler I guess.

Turn off 31 across from PR Equipment is how I get home on RC Lake. Pass it nearly every day! Never been in there, grown fast. New Kubota in Corsicana is pretty amazing

I’ve shipped a handful of vehicles on uShip with good results. All pretty easy.

Check the laws in your state, pretty straightforward in Texas. Have gone through the foreclosure process for 2 properties in our HOA, takes about a year to get rid of the non-payers. Non-payment is pretty easy to deal with in the courts. Violations a little more difficult, but if the rule is...

Huh, I thought it was only Texas that lost power in ice storms. I thought every other state had it figured out with their regulated expensive power 🤷‍♂️

I think this is pretty short sighted. Without the economic output of those big cities, the US would crumble and not be our own for very long. No money for big guns, easy target.

I didn’t indicate ALL farmers on government tit, just as I didn’t indicate ALL people receiving various handouts, but there is plenty of it. The tax issue I’m a bit on the fence for farmers/ranchers/etc… why exempt or reduced from property/purchases I’m not entirely sure. Seems they are being...

No doubt I’m a huge supporter of less government handouts across the board. From immigration, to farmers, to tax credits for spitting out more kids, to benefits for a family that won’t marry due to reduced government support, even myself and whatever those stimulus payments were during the COVID...

Sounds like a serious chip on your shoulder, I’m struggling to understand your complaint beyond country good / city bad. Both are extremely necessary for our country to survive. I’ve lived and worked in both. Currently, where I live closest town 15 minutes away is 1,500 people. I work in a 8M...

I’m not buying much of these last couple of pages… There are tons of low paying no skill jobs available in my area, folks screaming for labor with zero experience to just get on the job, get a little training and show up each day. Some of those start as temp placements, if they are worth a darn...

Cable position lends itself to getting filled with water/rain, dirt, etc… Cable lube as often as you can remember! Motorcycle/ATV type shops will have it.

Geotextile under the rock on the driveway highly recommended. But yes, wait until the heavy traffic is complete, get it smooth, wait for dry. Then 12’ wide fabric and rock of your choice, depending on how strong you want it you can do a base layer of larger gravel/rock and come back with a...

We get most of our large transformers from Mexico. Just ordered 2 - 26MVA units. 80 weeks from PO.

The stations I frequent in Tx with the separate cash/credit price still benefits me to use a card for the cash back. I get more cash back than I would save with the cash discount.

My ol girl. L10 Cummins Eaton 9spd. $7,000 at auction. I’ve put probably 6 used tires on it, basic fluids/filter, injection pump throttle shaft seal, power steering pump seal, and 1 brake chamber in my ownership time since 2017. Great truck, happy down the flat roads @ 70mph 54,000#. Don’t use...

So, have we identified any cars that you can’t get out of with a dead battery? Seems most listed have a manual release.

Will still have to meet current emission standards. But the windshield wipers and cigarette lighter won’t require independent computers

All large commercial in my area is ground up. I wired my house/shop also ground up, but a lot of items in my house are somewhat resi-mercial

Seems that is a choice he has chosen to make. Not making payments on time. Choosing to pay postage. Choosing to waste time driving and writing checks. Automatic/Free solutions to this.

Kubota Credit auto pay from business checking account each month. I’ve never written Kubota a check.

Many large transformers are made in Mexico. Lead times have actually come down in the past 6 months. I quoted a 26MW transformer at 18months over last summer, now they are under a year.

I’ve never seen a progressional lawn care operation with them on. Mine are off except for the big shoulder harness brush trimmer that may sling steel blades on occasion.

Yessir.

You better stick with cash if you are looking to be ‘untraceable’. Amex benefits far outweigh Visa, MC, Discover for my use. I have Visa through USAA and Wells Fargo. Visa and MC don’t service their own cards, they are issued through a 3rd party. Amex is the financial base and the servicing...

Credit card for everything unless a discount can be recovered by paying cash/debit that outweighs the credit card rewards. (Rare). The most protection and the most reward. AMEX if possible.

This. Love the autopilot feature for the long commute and I’m also a big fan of driving. The control isn’t perfect, but is very very good on large highways. Car is capable of watching 360 degrees around the car simultaneously, I’m limited to these 2 eyes. I’m still responsible for the cars...

Oh man, that’s a bummer. What was the driver for that?

1,000 buried here as well.

Our Amex (business) has a great deal of benefits that we’d be sad to be without. Was just in the centurion lounge in DFW last weekend waiting for storm to pass. Can think of a problem with their service in the decades of service. They don’t have USAA type service, but really nobody does.

Auto payments for everything. If a manual payment is required, I’m not signing up for service. Many items are discounted for the auto ACH payment. I’m very in tune with money in/out. I write less than 5 checks a year with the goal of 0 checks…

You were talking Hyundai, but the Tesla mobile charger that came with cars is 120-240v compatible. It came with a 5-15 and a 14-50 plug. There are other Cord adapters available for purchase for $30-50. The mobile connectors are rated for up to 7.6kw which isn’t bad. The wall charger is 11.5kw I...

Thread cracks me up. Just like manual vs automatic wars in vehicles. Manual guys: ‘ I’ll never let fluid shift for me’ ‘I need to feel the power’ ‘I must be in control’ ‘autos aren’t efficient’ ‘that auto won’t make it 100k’ Auto guys: ‘it just works’ ‘smoother’ ‘rated higher than the manual’...

$6.06!!! $2.70 low I’m seeing right now in N Tx

Ah ok. Mine currently just says A-Comb / M-Motorcycle. No restrictions or Endorsements. I have heard that new applicants if testing without air brakes or manual trans will get automatic and air brake restrictions, but I haven’t actually seen it.

$2/gallon difference on gas vs diesel right now near me. The cost of fuel doesn’t come near making up for efficiency difference on a lightly loaded pickup. I owned 2 VW diesel Jettas an 03 and a 11 (03 much better overall). Great mileage, but stupid to run one now with the disparity in fuel...

Interested where this 30% comes from? Im experiencing a 94.74% efficiency rate on a 240/1/50A location and a 95.27% efficiency rate on a 208/1/60A location. Few main problems that would need to be overcome with Hydrogen. The efficiency losses are compounded in fuel cells. Generate electricity...

Quad range in a Deere 4240, don’t miss that thing one bit. Gear on a L3301, missed - zero Shuttle on a L4701, missed - zero Hydro on the L6060, much better. No lack of power for a machine of that size. All on applications, where I currently live there are no flat spots, trees everywhere...

Is it an endorsement or just not a listed restriction? My CDL test was before that change.

Bout as accurate as my Maserati 3500 with 6.7L Cummins [emoji23]

Not really, Ram and Dodge split business units entirely. A Dodge Ram hasn’t been available since 2010-ish. My 2011 was half and half! Well, the reliability and ability to work with the cab on the truck is with the Cummins already, I figured that was just known! But yes, I have to sit in the...

Cummins finally dropped the Dodge and picked up Ram! [emoji23] Interiors are absolutely amazing now blowing Ford and Chevy out of the water in my opinion, hasn’t been that way, like ever… before Sad it had to be outsourced overseas to get that right…

Let’s not forget that the government keeps reducing Medicare and Medicaid reimbursable rates… Most private healthcare is based on a percentage of Medicare rates… Obamacare working to its finest and fullest intent! Employees are more expensive and demanding and the businesses are getting...

Sweet mercy. That’s rough. I’m complaining about my 15c, 50% more than normal 9.5-10c

Those competition drifters has some amazing vehicle control and skill. Really amazing. I don’t watch much TV, but I’d watch drifting over left turn NASCAR anytime.

300+ miles would be plenty to get me safety away from a hurricane I’d think? EV wouldn’t be my emergency vehicle of choice, but a hurricane, what’s the problem? Are we talking about getting to safety? Or driving to their hurricane vacation destination? Speaking of which, we could sure use a...

I’ve run 2 company F150 ecoboost F150 and a mid sized V8. From 2017 to 2022, about 40,000miles per year. I think they were all quite powerful and quick for the light duty F150 chassis. Fun to drive amply around town for sure! I did not consider them to excel at towing. Some because of the...

Good post. Subsidies are only a 4 letter word when they don’t align with a benefit an individual chooses to reap the rewards from.

Had a 2015 X5d. Really good mileage and torque. EGR system turned me off BMW for a long time. Crazy battery replacement process, etc. Traded in with 150k on Lx NX350h. Wife likes it, I can’t stand the transmission.

Lot of power. I’m not in the EV replace all vehicles camp, I find that unrealistic even though I think they would be fine for a majority of commuters. From your numbers I gleam a more than double consumption/generation. Doesn’t directly relate to grid/production ability shortcomings (double...

Peter, don’t you dare pull this group’s sound byte away. “California said don’t charge EVs.” You have to eliminate the rest of the information for better click bait. The times I’ve needed to charge during peak are slim to never. Very cool on the $2/kwh Crossed 30,000miles this am on the EV...

F150 I had, push button every time. Irritating. BMW X5 just one time. I wasn’t a fan of that feature. Tesla, well It never starts, so there is that i suppose. Tractor, I’m in the 5 minute camp with the L6060, DPF loads pretty quick sitting and idling. The B2710 I’ll let idle longer...

No kidding, stay on the surface streets and off the highways. Cruise in my EV generally at 82-83 on my commute, at a penny or two a mile, don’t really care about the efficiency loss.

I’ve heard not to use sand for top dressing in clay soils for similar reasons?

Was paying 9-10c until March when rates jumped to 14-15c due to fuel prices. Coop in Tx

Looking like 5-6yrs for my system to produce what it cost. Was closer to 6-7, but our power cost has increased 50% since March. Produced ~$370 last month

Statistics in a sampling of time can ‘prove’ anyones point… The market has done amazing this year! The market has done terrible this year!

[emoji23] isn’t that the truth. And all EV owners are ‘greenies’ [emoji849]

I generally carry a mix of 1” and 2” straps, 3/8 and 1/2” G70 chains with ratchet binders. They all get used depending on application. Each is better than the other depending on application. Hell, I carry bungee cords and zip ties that beat out the 1/2” chain for some tie down applications.

No current interest in an electric tractor, maybe someday! I could see a market for 60hp and less small property owners. But, from just looking at the power side. Burning fossil fuel in a power plant vs a small ICE is a considerable difference in efficiency and emissions.

I can assure you, my loads are not tied down in a negligent manner. I use an appropriate tie down method for the load. I don’t always use chains, don’t always use straps. To say a chain is always stronger than a strap is not always correct. There are many sizes of grade 70 chain and there...

Installed my 15KW system on the shop roof. Shop roof is pretty simple long lasting painted R-Panel. Panel life probably closely aligns with that shop roof life.

Care to elaborate on how I’m not? Amazingly, you and I both agree on the choice. There is absolutely no way I could go all EV with current offerings, maybe someday, but that seems a LONG time off. I did 2,000 miles in the truck towing a ~7,500lbs trailer a few weeks back. The 50 gallons of...

I’m good, thanks. 23,462 on my EV commuter today (6 months). $403.38 in ‘fuel’ minus the solar production, but I understand that is voodoo for some as well. Had to break down and finally do my first maintenance on the EV, bug juice was low. May rotate tires someday. Diesel truck hooked to a...

Have both. And diesel. What’s it to you?

Don’t buy one what?

Generating and transmitting that electricity via fossil fuels from a power plant is still more efficient than a small ICE.

Agree with this. We are a long way from either-or viability, maybe never. Both-and can work great for many households.

Amazing isn’t it?

There is a reason these are so popular here. T-shirt’s, billboards, bumper stickers.

I’m 108 miles 1-way, so I get it. Don’t want to live or raise family in the city, unfortunately that’s where work is. Plenty of California EV commuters don’t have access to ‘at home’ charging. Percentage of at EV owners with at home charging is actually decreasing as more people buy EVs and...

Last I saw that large percentage EV to ICE was around 20%? 50% of that 20% was due to charging concerns. Maybe new metrics now.

Don’t disagree with that. Seems as though manufacturers of all things are going that way. My little Kubota B2710 for instance started leaking diesel at the delivery valves. Just old brittle seals. The only thing Kubota will sell is a new $1,000+ pump when $0.50 in o-rings needed replaced. No...

Yup, only thing the world mines lithium for is EVs. Fantasy land. If you can only purchase products which raw materials and production from countries who are ‘responsible’ towards environment and people then I commend you as that is a difficult quest. I’d venture to say the US is pretty...

You are correct sir. I agree, we should all get free vehicles. Add a boat, plane, cell phone, house, healthcare, and food while we are at it. Why are we comparing the cost of a used or free car to a new car? I mean Carvana has a used Leaf at $11k right now. What was the new cost of that van...

You said ALL, I said MOST. Do you understand the difference, Bro? I have never claimed EV to be the right solution for everyone, I only enjoy arguing with those so steadfast against with ALL, ALWAYS, NEVER arguments that are largely baseless as this one is, Bra. And yes, average commute round...

How much solar could you possibly generate on car surfaces? 300-500W? 8hrs of decent PV generation per day right now in Tx assuming you park at perfect spot and angles. So 3kwh of generation. 1kwh gets you about 3 miles. So that solar on car system is at best 10miles of generation in a day. Do...

216 miles in my EV every DAY that I drive to office. About $4 in ‘fuel’ Have ICE road vehicles. Diesel truck that is 7,500mi/yr or less. It is largely strictly towing/hauling duty. Need the truck for those duties, the economy of an additional 40k miles/year on that vehicle would be stupid...

Do you disagree that ‘most’ apartment dwellers are unlikely to travel great distances for everyday commute? What would be your estimate? I’d guess less than 40miles round trip. This answer plays into whether a home charging station is an absolute requirement for EV ownership. Personal...

Are those folks lining up to buy new vehicles currently of the ICE variety? Or participating in used market already anyways? Or not at all, minimum wage with any vehicle purchase price, fuel, maintenance, insurance, registration is a stretch. What are we trying to compare here?

Standard model 3 in the $48k range now + TTL I’d call Teslas a ‘premium EV brand’ currently. With costs and options to well above $100k Other manufactures offer lessor cost options. Plug in Hybrids for instance there are a number of options in the 25-35k range. Not much different than an...

Here is the argument. Cracks me up every time. - This Timex is so superior to that Rolex, such a sucker to buy a Rolex. - This 1 bedroom studio apt is so superior to that 3/2 brick ranch house on 5acres, such a sucker to live in country with expensive house and all that maintenance - This push...

15KW installed at residence… $22,570 When I shopped, $1.50/W was a decent installed cost. Would agree, $50k for 8kw system would be a huge waste of money. That is robbery. Good on the salesman for that bonus though!

Correct, they don’t make sense for ALL. Makes sense for many. Definitely don’t make sense for those Looking for a pretty decent return on investment. 5-7yrs for me right now. Panel life at 30yrs, if they make it half that, do it again as they will likely pay for themselves and then some all...

Tend to agree with all of this. [emoji106]

What percentage of the population drive more than 250mi/day for 95% of the year? I live in Texas. I don’t live in the city. Prior to EV I stopped for fuel every 2 days (2-3 times per week) for ‘10mins’, now I haven’t fueled for my commute since getting an EV. I’ve saved over 2 hours of these...

You post was simplistic in nature. Compare emissions output of fossil fuel power plant and a typical internal combustion engine for the same kw output. My response was equally as simplistic. I’ve been pretty steadfast that my interest in EV or PV is not environmental based, but economy...

You do comprehend the efficiency difference between KW produced by a power plant and by a small ICE correct? And not all electricity is hydrocarbon derived. 20k+ mikes on my EV, never a public station required to charge.

Basically correct. Not much different than the government incentivizing me to purchase a new vehicle or equipment and deducting the entire purchase in one year via a section 179 deduction. (How I needed up with a new crazy inflated new truck last year, either spent the money or give it to the...

Definitely agree on this. US is behind the times… Again.

Huge fan of my Cub Cadet 760S for all my side hills. Leaps and bounds better than previous traditional zero turn.

Depends how you look at it I suppose. My installation is subsidized by a tax credit on my own personal taxes. It is a reduction in the exorbitant amount of federal tax I pay for 1 year. Frankly, I don’t agree with many of our federal gov’s expenditures. Maybe, my solar tax credit is shorting...

Uhh, grid tied solar is pretty common. What my system is. I have a bi-directional meter from my Coop Utility. My 15KW solar system/inverter pushes up to 62.5A @ 240V into my distribution system. It is basically 1st source, any excess and my meter spins backwards, if my demand is higher the...

Never owned Mercedes, have owned a BMW X5D (wife’s ride) Never Ever Again. I knew better to move away from Lexus on her cars… really liked the BMW styling (still a pretty good looking SUV). Didn’t take terribly long to remember why Toyota products are far superior in the ease of...

21,321mi 3,921kwh or $392 in electricity paid for my circumstances, also have 15KW solar, but we will ignore that. I just consider the money it generates is just paying for itself at the moment and will for the next 5-6 years. - In service 12/8/2021 - Car was around $50k - 1.89% on the note for...

Typical forum ‘absolutes’ - Always - Never I use chains when the load dictates. I use strap when the load dictates. Each have their + and -

In Texas a commercial contractors license doesn’t really exist.

Nuff said. About 1am at a Loves truck stop, noticed while fueling up. On the road for about 20hrs at this point. I wasn’t happy. Cool the Loves guys let us use their tools and bay though!!

I’ve moved large trees, bought large trees, had to secure bonds on large trees near areas of heavy construction. I’ve even raised large trees to meet new grades (terrible slow process and a 20yr bond on that one I believe) I maintain $100k is a steal. ‘Timber’ value isn’t even a consideration...

Plenty (most?) of Class 6-8 without leaf springs. Coil rear trucks do ride better, they also come with lower weight ratings than the leaf spring equipped trucks (at least in Ram). But, if your loads don’t dictate max GCWR, coils are the more comfortable way to go. My 22’ SRW 3500 is leaf...

$100k isn’t near enough for a tree of that size. That is being extremely generous.

Wife is waiting on an ordered RX350h to come in Feb (hopefully) to replace the X5d, looks like a decent ride. I’m a big Toyota fan. Pretty decent mpg, I’m bummed leaving the attitude of the X5D M-Sport to a more chick mobile in the Lexus, but it is her ride and what she wants. Happy to leave BMW...

Had friends in from out of town over Christmas, trip was ~3,000miles round trip. Their EV didn’t mind the trip, her aging bladder needing emptying more than the EV needed to charge. All of the Tesla models have AWD options, but are far from an ‘off road vehicle’. If your wife needs true 4x4 for...

Let’s see, used Tesla model 3s are selling for more $$ than new due to months long wait list. Tesla model 3 less than $50k new for standard model. I have diesel SUV, diesel truck, diesel tractors, gas toys, and EV commuter. My 216 mile commute costs me less than $2.50/day in power today. No...

Regarding pollution associated with operation of ICE vs EV. Argument earlier about ‘oil’ burned for ICE and electricity being the same. For a given unit of power used/consumed, which do you expect is least polluting? IE. exhaust from an ICE or ‘exhaust’ from a coal, NG, nuclear plant for the...

I’ve already stated I didn’t buy a Tesla due to straight ‘financial’ reasons. I know exactly what this toy is. But this logic above is apples and oranges. Let me take it a bit further and say I buy a $50k Tesla or a $10,000 enduro motorcycle… which one is cheaper after 120k miles of commuting...

Sounds like a neat solution that could be handy at times. I too generally move with the backhoe, but have found many occasions that a bit of tractive motion to be beneficial. On larger hoes that I have owned (torque converter trans), I’d reach and pop it into gear, use the hand throttle to get...
