Somehow I found this parallel to modern day EV charging issues. I bet at those times everybody was laughing about mechanism which needs kerosene if horses can run all day and eat grass at roadside ;)

Here we tip waiters (in fancy restaurants only). And that's it. Actually I am fresh out from barber shop. On reception desk there are small money-boxes with staff names. Openings are rather big, of course I haven't inspected them very closely but to me all those boxes seemed dry. I mean those...

Good morning ! Today -3C, little snow, forecasts say soon will be down to -18 C = 0F Yesterday we got that snowstorm ! In my city not so much, maybe 10 inches, in some cities 100 km west from here there is now 1/2 metre (2 feet) of snow. Nice. Tractor owners be like:

really love this video

This is right way how to dry wood ! I dont know at your side of pound, but here somehow people used to put split wood in closed barns and then "season" it for 2 - 3 years. Actually it is drying but rotting.

First of all - sanctions can't kill existing businesses / activities. But they are working very well against future options. What they COULD have made. Like russians could have developed new gas / oil fields, thrive from business collaborations etc. But now they have to live what they have...

Russia now is teared in pieces. +/- 50 % of russians are "war eagles", which are yelling - lets nuke Ukraine, lets show them might of our weapons. But once asked how it happens that in trenches is so good internet so they can post this ******** from there, it turns out they are from warm...

Good evening ! Today it is a bit warmer, - 6 ... -7 C (20 F) Took some pictures of forest, all is white / grey. Had to check does iphone is not set on B&W mode. :LOL: Yesterday "aunties gathering" went very well. Lot of fun, had nice food. Really sweet meeting Today some routine errands...

Good day (already) ! Weather Centrum has told here is -12 C. Car showed even -14C ( 7 F). cold came in combination with fog and now on vegetation is hoarfrost (not sure is this the right word) View is spectacular, really worth to live in north just because of that view Today I have no rest...

we have that saying - when you visit other church you leave your church's song book at home. Here it apply on metric vs imperial sys ;) For time we have the same system. That is a bless. Length, weight, volume - to me it's not a problem. You have your system, and that's fine for me. Actually...

Good Friday morning ! Yesterday night went for dinner for b-day of my wife's sis-in-law husband. They live not far from us, so we have a nice connections. (if I can say so :)) We were 10 people at table, was nice evening During night got another 5 cm of snow. Wake up early to clean our...

Good morning. -2 C. During night we have got like 10 cm of snow. Made good job with Yanmar and broom. But looking at forecast is seems at evening will be another 10 cm. Dont care. 😎 Just need to ran to tank, get some diesel (I dont keep smelly liquids at home, maybe I should... ) Tried to...

Good morning all ! Just a quick check in. Seems that fun time is here. At mid November meteorologists has talked about soft and warm winter. So I haven't get new winter tires, just switched to old ones I have used 2 years (40.000 km) already. Tires are on lower limit. But I thought for...

To me chain saw is rather simple thing. So my advice is - go for brand which batteries you already have, and buy bare saw If you dont have any batteries - think about future, look for system you might have. Should you go more to garden direction - blower, cleaner, trimmer, whatever. Those are...

Every time I arrive in office first thing to do - I start with petting of coffee machine. Then, while it warm up I say hello to others My employees know that and dont mind it anymore. I hope so :rolleyes: And my coffee is specific. Italian would say - creepy. espresso with cold milk ;)

That is the whole meaning of geotex. It just keeps gravel / rocks together as in envelope. And it is glass fiber material - so it is not rotting.

Now I am wondering, why brooms are so under-estimated. Actually either here city council stared seriously tested them only this year. Dont know, maybe they will wear down very fast. On that I say something "scientific" at April. Actually should check and note length of "hair". Other than that...

Good Monday morning ! Was crazy week, and this one seems no better. Just a quick check in. For beginning it's -2ºC, cloudy. And it's all about perception. Few weeks ago anything below 0ºC was deadly cold. Then some nights it went down to -10ºC. Now it feels that -2ºC is a bless. Almost warm...

that neat thing is unbelievable handy and useful not only for mowing firewood As we are in TBN, I will give to you tractor related example: with help of that little f-ker attaching implements on rear 3p is kinderspiele 😎

Here in this side of world energy costs was REAL roller-coaster Pellets from 150 €/T went to 450 €/T. Electricity (for industrial customers) from 0,04 to o,5 €/kWh LPG I even dont want to know. But to keep warm average house it used to be like 100 - 150 €/m for gas, now people are paying near...

Good morning ! Here already is +/- stable winter Forecast says next week might be some days with positive temp. Normally I like cold, deep and long winter. But now I need one little thaw badly as I have to pour like 100 L of special concrete to make support for new windows. Once windows &...

Too much pointless bragging and shameful stop in ditch .... 🤪 Valtra for the WIN !!! 🤣 P.S. not too much damage for my Tesla, actually I continued my way and arrived with 20 min delay only. Biggest victim is my selfesteem 🤣 Anyway - appointed visit at shop for tomorrow, for deeper...

I have to check in just after Australia so day (week) migh begin ! 😎 Good morning guys ! Here we have "shitting man" :ROFLMAO: Right now sow is like 10 - 15 cm, very light & dry, practically powder. Yesterday was sunny, a bit colder. I worked out from 1000 till 1500. Really lowed that...

Theoretically only solution without heating would be circulation. Running water doesnt freeze. OK, with limits.... But to make circulation you again gonna need power supply :rolleyes: If you can get some power, then it should be better to use "self adapting" cables, ones guys put in water...

Good morning ! -4 C with some snow later afternoon. Hope to start test new broom and snow plow. I got them late spring, too late for real tests. Looks like finally winter is here Went to parade y-day. 10 y ago our army was like advanced rescue team with some rifles. Guys with helicopters where...

For me as for not native English homonyms are mess. "concrete" is one of first which comes in my head when asked about those words For concrete we have "beton". That is actually German word and somehow I like how it sounds. Solid 😎 In our language there are a lot of those homonyms either...

Hello, good day ! I was off this thread for few days and now I am like 100 pages back. Guys, you are productive. ;) I am going to read trough this thread later as we have "long weekend". Today is our Independence day. Chill morning -2ºC, few snowflakes. doesnt matter what weather will be...

Happy A and happy B_D ! There is a lot to catch up since my last post. I dont know how can I do this 😅 Anyway. Here sunrise today was awesome Clouds was rather high and sun was casting light from bottom of clouds. Spectacular. At morning concrete mixer arrived as planned, all went well...

Good evening already here ! Yesterday was nice day, managed all my plans but didnt deliver cement to my building site. Nice guy concrete mixer has promised to deliver 1 m^3 of concrete monday morning. Normally they like to deliver at least half mixer - 5 - 6 m^3. but my guy has another site...

Good morning ! 4-6 ºC, cloudy. But dry This morning have heard that in Florida you have sub-zero ºC :oops: Here thatš fine, normal thing, but at Florida ... Today rather busy day. Dentist. Pick from rent bigger trailer Collect and bring to my new place 1 T cement for guys which will...

Hi It's hard to recommend anything if I dont know preferences. Is she more looking to see "old stones" or looking for some fun ? Geanrally Vilnius is great city. Old city is nice, like Literatai street | Go Vilnius Must see Gedemino tower - it is city symbol. I like Užipio respublika - it's...

Hi everybody ! This week has been rather busy. Now I am in Milano for woodworking machinery show. Actually it is not in Milan city but little bit outside, which is nice. All big cities gives nothing but depression to me Weather here is nice Really cant figure out why they are complaining about...

Good evening already ! Here rather warm day 12 ... 14°C and no rain Unfortunately this morning had to visit tooth fairy. Now I have one molar less.... Surgery went well, ok still some pain, but not critical. That dental clinic today have 5 years anniversary and they were throwing for...

I have read what UA analytics are saying Before war set-up of UA army was more "defensional" At very beginning, at Feb; March UKR have sent against Rus "terorional oborona", it's like your National Guard Meantime UA army were trained at home, UK, US, PL bases. And they were trained attacking...

Good morning ! Last few days mornings were a kind of chill - 5 - 8 ºC. And rather windy. As I went out instantly got feeling that winter is coming <tm> Air is "thick", cold, lawn full with yellow/read leaves ... That autumn feeling ... Anyway - pizza party with builders went great. Today is...

I have got my Yanmar with like 1/5 full tank And no hat But I have got invoice for installing LED-bar But I dont mind as there was great discount on tractor & implements

Went on little tour in Corsica. Roads there are fantastic. Navi says 44 km = 1h 13 min 😎 +/- so it was. King of second gear :ROFLMAO: As we were 2 up, chicken strips still exist :oops:

In my language there are 2 words which can be used for those things this wreath; used at celebration like here and also at funeral; crown, like queen might literally have on her head - diadem, or crown as describing royal power; corona; corolla. I really had to think for a while which means...

:ROFLMAO: (y) If I have attached LEDbar to the holes which already was on ROPS, is it also deadly risk ? Asking for friend :ROFLMAO:

Goodmorning ! Nice, fresh morning here. 4-6ºC Forecasters are saying something about a nasty cyclone for second half of the week. We will see. Anyway, was a hell of a weekend I am making a cabin for my company. Friday builder put wreath (actually which would be the correct word for that...

yeah, that is what I meant Russians has word game on moBilization In russian language word "moGila" is "grave". So people now call this moGilization. Very true :ROFLMAO:

I have Yanmar SA424, which is HST. Great tractor, love it. It is very often mentioned, that Yanmar has built entire tractor, from motor till frame, hydraulics included, all systems live and work in perfect harmony. At least they say so. I am not an expert to confirm this Recently I went to help...

221 is not a tractor but more of "advanced mower with benefits" Take a closer look on 424 / 425 My "rancho" is +/- the same size like yours and I really cant imagine anything smaller than 424 to do all the jobs. Disclaimer: I am not a true farmer but more like a weekend warrior and I got...

Sounds mental 😱 Normally front brakes does 80 - 90 % of the job. For me, most of the time - even all 100 %. Cant imagine how it is to ride if moto is without them ... :oops: Anyway - ritual time. :) Goodmorning all. Here +6 C, foggy, low chance of rain. For today plan is to do some office...

my furnace's user's manual says: This is how it looks like 733284,733285 20 kW boiler + 2 T accu Boiler controls T, O2 and CO2.

:cry:

Nice moto But where brakes ??!!

Should have made pic with tire pressure readings. Now I will try to publish it as plain txt :) FL - 2,6 | FR - 2,5 RL - 2,5 | RR - 2,6 My guess - as it becomes little colder, pressure reduces and that triggers warning. Tires are perfectly good (90) is speed limit. KM/H. We don't have...

Good morning you all ! Actually I am thinking about launch already :) Had to make a 1 1/2 hour road trip to see customer. Nice sawmill, looking to paint their boards. Trip was nice, very light rain, 6 ... 7 C Just noticed trees start to get some yellow / red tones

Good morning ! I will "recover" and post some pictures from summer Have decided to build an extra room to our house, like "winter garden" Guys dug pit. As we were lazy to carry cement, hired rather big pump which could swing "noose" over my house At the time to move dirt back my dog...

ruSSian propaganda has blended together "Russia" and "Putin". For a lot of them now that is the same thing. IMHO that is the root of ongoing tragedy I mean, most of us would fight for our countries. But I seriously doubt, lot of you would fight for your Joe :) And I agree with @ovrszd. Now...

Riga in their dreams 😎 At beginning rus army were reporting on occupied states. Then cities, villages. Now spokesman of ruSSian army HQ is reporting on "liberated" farms :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Conscripts are fleeing to Kazakhstan, Georgia, Turkey etc

I am not so good on writing, but I am good poster interesting pictures. Slowly I will fill the gap of "summer silence" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_stork According Wiki, they are not in Americas We have saying that they bring babies. Read last chapter of that wiki article: I...

I have SA 424 with rear remote I just put hoses to the front from rear remote

Russians are making jokes on those maps I will try to translate. I am sorry if you found it too black :sneaky:

Nice thread ! Even in some areas here mornings are below 0 C, we still have October and November for autumn. REAL winter would arrive with December. I mean with stable frost and snow. Few days dosnt count Things to do drain garden watering sys bring from "rancho" 6 - 8 crates of firewood. They...

Hello Everybody. Haven't posted for a while. Don't know - you missed me or enjoyed 😁 If I should wrote a essay "how I have spent my summer" it would be a hell of a story. Anyway - after little surgery health is good again. Thanks God and doctors ! Had to adapt my diet, but just for a...

I would say - you have +/- the same as here. But it might be that some states have some historical or whatever reasons to make this different. Even it should be the same all over EU

Thank you guys ! Another "grey" morning here. Warm(er) + 15 C but wet Have set meeting with construction company this afternoon Have agreed that prior to start my bigger shed they will send a small excavator for 1 day to work at my home on a little modification of my garden watering system...

To me it seems not so much "synchronized" across EU Here we have to have "TR" "1/2/3" class licenses. And it depends on tractor's mass, nothing to do with transit speed Just for inspiration, back side of my driver's license. As far as I have seen, all other EU states have similar division

Good afternoon already ! As weather was nice (and forecast is :poop:) I decided to skip office job for second part of the day and went to my new place where next week should arrive excavators, start dig foundation for my new shed. I think, about building process I will create special topic for...

Good morning Begging of week was nice, little cold, but sunny. Now it becomes cloudy, but warmer. I hope will not rain, as I have big plans for weekend at "rancho" Blood test came in. My doc was right. It was/is liver fail. I think those "ASAT" are international, you should understand...

Thanks ! I am much better. But anyway went to doc. He was making big eyes, I didn't like the face he was making... Sent me to do like 10 blood tests. Now we are waiting results from lab. Hope you are on way to improve either

You really surprised me Here linguists are ranting about our young generation using English slang. I never could imagine your lingusits could find their basis of rant. 😀 But now you are telling that your linguists are not happy either I am not so young anymore, but I am guilty either. In...

100 % sure ! Just keep in mind CAT 1/2/3. At least that (3p) is not spoiled with different standards. I have not done market research, but "from helicopter" to me it seems that in EU is very popular different agri- implements, for hay farming etc In US you have way more dirt moving...

US is federal state. Not exactly homogeneous, but still, at least you speak the same language, have the same currency. Meantime EU is gang of (very) different tribes. But rule is - there can't be any obstacles for random citizens to use junk which is legal in any other EU state. And here starts...

Welcome :sneaky: what you have wrote about US tow trucks to me seems a bit creepy. The whole idea about flatbeds is to transport junk not fit for road traffic Here in eastern EU nobody will give a :poop: what is on flatbed. And service guys will not judge from where your tractor is. Instead...

Hello everybody ! We here still haven't got + 20° C this year (it is 68° F) :mad: And forecast says - this week not going to happen either :mad: Anyway - I am back from Italy. There weather was even worse This is look from my hotel's window. Fancy apartment house is blocking my view to...

I am from EU, not exactly France, but still - EU :) I believe you should be able to "cross the border" with all your personal belongings. Not drugs, guns and stuff like that, of course. But you might want to keep tractor in your hall, as decoration, and nobody will ask you why With (all)...

Bongiorno ! Today again I am flying to Italy. Nothing special, couple days business trip with customer Nice day, just arrived to airport. But man, you dont want to see fire brigade anyway near your plane .... 😬 At the end it turned out to be baggage conveyor issue. They were (typically...

Obvious petrol prices pedal inflation. Prices surge is global phenomena, I am wondering, why you guys are blaming your government ?

Since I am Tesla driver I don't give too much :poop: about gas prices 😎 But y-day was time to refill tractor... Friend of mine have developed strategy, how to fill car those times. Just enjoy automatic payment. Swipe card on reader, put "gun" in tank and let it run. Without looking on...

Good morning ! Today should be sunny day, up to 11 C. Nice. Yesterday was much warmer, up to 16 C So it was time to make grass nice again. 😁 First time this year. Normally robot mower is in charge for this business. But season's first mowe I do with neighbor's rider. Just to be sure there...

+ dont forget electricity bill :ROFLMAO: My 700 $ greenhouse is the same sort story. :ROFLMAO: BUT. it will last 10 years kids love it. check on first green stuff from dirt. That excitement is priceless And radishes and peas from own garden tastes different. OK, fruits stolen from...

Still rather cold for May. 10°C Started little rain so cancelled grass mowing, cancelled terrace deck replacement I have moved to shed, will do deck for entrance door of greenhouse. Yesterday was rater nice. Went to shop for mulch, ride motorcycle for annual inspection

You are right - water doesn't migrate trough bark But one of most important parameters for fast / efficient drying is air speed. That's why I try do not make dense pile of wood to be dried.

Hi We have both "blondes" and blondes :) I would say most popular hair color here is sand-gray-brown. Like mice :) Somehow our women doesnt like that "mice color" and are dying like hell. But here are a significant part of natural blondes too. It comes together with blue eyes. BTW I have...

Right now warm (+8 C) but foggy. Weather man have told that in some areas visibility is less than 100 meters All week should be a little cold and grey Weekend was about to be perfect. Weather great, wife with oldest daughters left to see her mom. Vine cellar full with interesting bottles etc...

I am back at my desk after Easter-holidays-family trip and business trip to Netherlands Haven't slept in my own bed for a week. That is exhausting Do-do list is loooong. 😬 Still have to run this one day then I will catch my breath tomorrow & day after Other than that - seems to be nice day...

Frankly I cant understand this chain fetish :rolleyes: Yesterday was in Netherlands, noticed this truck and took pic for you all I guess in US driver with so tied cargo goes straight to jail ?

You are right. Never had 😑 But looking forward to make a US trip ;) Obviously, not this year. I like to "stretch summer" - visit warmer places while at home weather is shi%^&. Mid summer even here is great :cool: Anyway, we are back from Italy, at home Flight went well, little delay. But...

Aaaaannnnddd day is gone.... Good afternoon already. Hope you all still have hew great hours ahead We are going to bed soon. Tomorrow is traveling day - at afternoon have flight back. Lot of driving but at least direct flight

Texas is nice ;) But I will give to you an explanation, why that size of car is not first choice in Italy :ROFLMAO:

Those eggs we bought at local supermarket. Nothing fancy, but great looking and tasteful. In general (almost) all food in Italy is A+ grade. They are crazy for that Our old folks are eating a lot of bread. Even though diet doctors don't recommend it. In my part of EU (North) there is a thing -...

Yesterday have seen + 25 C 😎 Have visited La specia, NAVY museum, beach. Sea still is rather cold. As man walks in water his balls retract like plane's landing gear cold :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Today morning looks great Wife have made great breakfast Soon heading out to Genova aquarium

Left home under supervision of my sis and have made long time ago promised family-trip Weather is really great :cool: A lot of turisto amerikano around :D This is beer / vino truck. Can be loaded 8 EUR pallets (1,2 X 0,8 m) I have rented VW Transporter. You can imagine, how hard it's to...

Really appreciate this I haven't talked directly with her, only my sis has. I have at that village my own apartment, not very big and fancy, just nice cosy "summer house" with all modern days goodies. With central heating, it's habitable at winter either. I have offered that for her...

This was a hell of a weekend Saturday my twin boys had birthday. 9 years already. From friend of mine have borrowed VW Transporter for all my kids fit in one car :D and made 2 hour trip to water park in Estonia. Boys have learned jumping from stairs in deep pool. My sisters son, which is 14...

back when I wore young man's clothes I used to ride like this :cool: Social networks reminded me - 6 y ago I have made nice trip in Swiss & Italy Swiss roads and Italian country holidays home

Yeah Bought for wifey Y recently That one cached screw in tire on way from transport company's backyard to my home

We are using those things to move heavy metal 🤟 This one is 6 tones That will not help OP, as those rollers work only on hard surface. To equalize weight long round bars has to be used. Like fence posts Another "lazy option" worth to try is would be to put that thing on some sheet...

Our pro guys say - pull chain at the middle of the bar as hard as you can. Very top of link should stay in the groove.

Good evening already here Y-day was that one day of the year when at to morning you have -5 and snowstorm, blizzard And afternoon is +5. Sun is shining and you know that backbone of winter is broken. Have made a 2 hour road trip to visit one customer. As challenging was driving in the morning...

Hazard lights

I have recently gone trough that At the end bought this osram 1. it's "combo" beam 2. 30 W = 2... 3 A 3. 1 Lx = 360 m 4. not so big, really tough body. on my ROPS already was holes, this ledbar fit there without drilling anything 736826,736828,737000

This is how I brought by boiler home Was strapped well :cool: December 2014

(y) Very similar experience with mine Just I try not to pile up wood on the ground but get it in the totes directly from processor How have you made "hats" from IBC ? Do you have wood in that "hat" too ?

Air was just leaking. OK, I could hear that, but still not THAT fast. As a careful owner I have in my garage compressor. :cool: Today was the day I was happy to have it Blow in 3 bar and drive to closest tire shop. Guys have made some tricks, charged me 5 € ;) Now it seems ok TPMS is great thing

It was not the matter to clean that snow, day was warm and sunny. It was clear that snow will melt within few hours. Blade already is conserved, waiting for next winter. With that circumstances I was too lazy to attach blade .... But now I am confident, that blade + broom will be posh...

Was able to make quick test yesterday At first - guys were right about castor wheels. They are swinging only 180 deg, so no more questions about driving direction. Only forward, thus means rotating only towards tractor. Thus tractor becomes dirty. :confused: But I will figure out a kind of...

Not so good today New tire, actually whole car is new. First morning, fire up that thing. Red warning in dashboard

Guys, we are derailing this thread o_O Like I care :ROFLMAO:

You are right. Last gen A80 (like on your pic) was already good. It's predecessor I havent seen, all rusted, gone, reduced to atoms 😁 Modern days VAG cars again are so-so. I just transferred my wifey's Golf 7 (4 1/2 year old) to oldest daughter. Car is white and there we can see very well some...

At my home I have the same principle heating sys Wood gasification boiler (Austrian - Herz) 2000 L heat accumulator Underfloor pipes at house Load boiler full. It means ~ 30 kg of wood. Lit fire. repeat 48 h later :cool: There is no DIRECT connection between boiler and house. Accu is in the...

Italians were legendary. In a calm and silent night you can hear how Opel is rusting :ROFLMAO: On other hand Audis and Volvo were very tough. I had V850. Once I got the car on trunk there was spot like 1 X 1 cm where paint was gone. Bare zinc were shining. I drove around that car for 3 years...

View from my kitchen -9 C

I am not carpenter. I am supplying machines for furniture makers. Like CNC, automatic saws, painting robots etc ;) Those chairs are similar, but I dont think they are made here. Wood looks little different. But those are nice chairs and church looks superb (y)

Hello Just have made first 20 h on my new Yanmar SA. Really happy with that tractor but one issue bother me. FEL is kind of "jerky". Especially curl function. Lifting up is not so bad. Again down it's like falling. Joystick is in right position, handle is long - it makes it easy to push it to...

I dont think they put their own label on their products. Most of the time they produce for big retailers and put their names on

Another working week ahead o_O Today it will be fine and nice, but "winter is coming" <tm> OK, actually - not leaving Weekend was quite windy. As Americans will use anything but metric system ;) - wind was so strong that trash bins was tipped. (it's 25 m/sec) 😀

That is one fancy cabin :) Have never seen such thing on tractor. Only on scooters :D

I have checked with friend of mine who is a kind of big boss there at Finieris. They have increased prices, but no more that 10 %. THAT big increase you mentioned is greed of importer. And. I have asked, why Baltic, no Latvian. They marketing people have done market research which have...

Sorry, couldn't resist https://9gag.com/gag/axB6EmW 😁

:) aaaahh. We have that saying: "prophet at his own house is not recognized" :D I did't knew it's branded "Baltics" now. Actually, it's not "Baltic", but solely Latvian. A/S Latvijas Finieris (finieris.com) is world's biggest BIRCH plywood factory. Their HQ is like 10 km from my home. I...

Good Morning As inhabitant of Baltics I am curious - what are you calling "Baltic Birch" ?

I used to think, that "jack" is something to lift with. With "trolley" you ride around 😁 This one is more for moving rather than lifting. 😉 I am not a farmer, i am coming from industry. In factories that is primary means of transport for all kinds of junk. In efficient factory it is considered...

Now it's my turn to wonder it's first time I have seen word "hickory". :oops: Had to google it 😉 for mechanical properties it seems to be close to our ash, and that is a hell of a wood to cut and split. But at least it gives you heat once it is burning.

:ROFLMAO: Those pavement bricks are very common here and in EU in general. Like version I have - a bit cheaper concrete blocks or cobblestone, which are a bit pricier. Rich communes can afford stones, not like poor individuals 😁 I have noticed, that in US concrete driveways are more...

I doesn't see big sense to screw casters for all pallets you use. IMHO much better is to use pallet trolley There is "offroad" PT version In case you don't want to invest in such thing, you can make wheels set

just to share my firewood handling practice. When cutting & splitting firewood, I put wood in such crates. Base is EUR pallet - 1.2 X 0.8 m. Grill is 1 m high those boxes I leave at my "rancho". They can be stored on top each other. Trick is not to put them tight together side by side, but...

I suppose I am an "early bird" in TBN universe. 😁 Nice weather was and forecast is very good. Maybe already too good. :rolleyes: February here was exceptionally wet. We have got rain like normally we should get till mid-year. But now last 10 days was very dry and thus quality of air (in...

Without counterweight my SA barely could lift smallest box (its EU "standard" container - 0,8 X 1,2 X 0,75 m) full with dry firewood. Driving with such box on forks was very unpleasant With 200 kg on it's tail my little tractor can lift even 0,8 X 1,2 X 1 m big crate full with with fresh...

Nice afternoon already ! +8...+10 C. And still very good forecast ahead. Friend of mine have made a road trip to Praha/ CZ. To move his junk he borrowed my trailer. I was happy to help, and as a "rental fee" he brought for me a box of premium Czech lager beer Nice guy indeed (y) Today is...

Draft. First fitting Top link position is wrong. But other than that - nice

Nice car (y) Here in EU we have joke: Nothing more signals about end of your sex-life than Volvo in your driveway :ROFLMAO: I used to own XC90. Really liked that car. Comfy, problem free, dynamic. Have even made road trip to Sardinia

Thanks ! Yeah, I have born here. Just after UNI ( I am woodworking engineer) traveled a bit across EU. But now I am raising my 5 kids 100 km from village I was born. My sis never have changed her place, she still lives there, we visit her quite often. I have noticed, that Americans are very...

GER/PL (old Prussia) is SW from me. In straight line Berlin is 515 miles.

yeah, I am Right on the edge of Gulf of Riga 👋 1000 km SE = Ukraine ?

Here we used to get quite decent and reasonably steel from russia. Obviously not hi-precision products, but simple things like rebar, sheets and profiles. rebar was floating ~ 850 - 900 €/t Now with sanctions that steel supply is stopped. resellers issue price lists valid 1/2 day and price is ~...

Good morning ! nice week ahead here

I have got like 250 kg of metal. Heavy metal 🤘 Will do counterweight for 3p

Just what was my first thought. Nice video. But from work organizing point - complete mess.

Those are original lights New LEDbar in action. Maybe should be a bit higher. Will see. Good thing is, that light is very focused. And working lights for backside I am super happy with result. OSRAM

Take in consideration that all weight of that tree will try to pinch your bar. Be very accurate and slow. It is not dangerous for you, but you can lose your saw Take with you universal saw key. I don't know, how you call that, we call it T key. If your bar is pinched, dont try to fight gravity...

Weekend warrior :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: never heard such expression (y) I am the same 😁 Living in city and for weekend go to fight with my jungles. In addition: wood which has been cut in winter is dry. At spring they take a lot of juices inside. OK, it doesnt apply no so much evergreen...

Thanks ! Back to topic I like it in winter. You don't have bad weather, you only have not good enough clothes 😁 You know that already, but I will reapeat 1. I have quite warm protecting equipment. In those trousers & boots for me it is way too hot as temperatures are positive (C). I don't...

Kids have counted rings. But I already forgot :rolleyes: With neighborhood tension is just rising. Your Secretary of State - Bliken was here day before, yesterday secretary of NATO was in Riga. They are plotting something ... But there are good news, that help to calm down our minds. Now here...

Do pre-cut as high as you can. Take into consideration how healthy that wood actually is. If it's already rotten - cut less than half. If it's nice and "green" you can go till 2/3. Put the cable around tree where that cut is. Pull gently, to break the cut. In pic it seams that you can pull it...

For now everything is safe. But lot of people already are making up plans of what to do if ... Till now only boycott Picture I took yesterday. In empty shelves was russian vodka. Who drinks that sh^&* anyway :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Now here is a lot of NATO soldiers, including few...

Just random station in Germany 2,15 €/L = 8.89 $/GAL

Repost from Yanmar topic. Small SA without counterweight is quite weak :rolleyes: 733468,733469

Seems like burnt pine

Karcher is very popular here in EU. They have 2 product lines - yellow is meant for domestic use while greys are "industrial" or "professional" Friend of mine actually is Karcher sales rep, and he is very deep into that. He uses to say that every washing have 3 equally important components: 1...

Probably this is the best advice I have got. (y) Now once I have got that new setup ready I am burning to make it work. You know - so much theory, thoughts, expectations 😀 Mentality of 8 years old 😁 Ironic that weather forecast shows 10 nice sunny days ahead. ========= I am selling /...

you are right ! I will add I am from Latvija. Germans call it Lettland. It's nort-east side of Baltic sea. I have to drive SW good 10 - 11 hours till I reach Berlin. 1200 km Latvija is very small state, less than 2M people, so obviously info in Latvian on specific topics (like tractors) is...

Good point. But it seems that this particular gearbox have 2 exits only. That means this trick will not work. Anyway - thanks for your inputs. I will check with that company Monday

surface is flat. bricks (actually how you call them ? see pic) at yard and concrete / cement road down to house. Then I prefer to clean a little stretch of municipal asphalt either. As we live on a street with very low traffic, municipal cleaner have our street in third priority list Edge of...

That is fancy our parks & garden services use blowers on 3p & PTO driven

not snow:

Hi ! Typically, as soon winter is over finally I have got my snow fight set-up done. Classic 🙃 At least I hope you will agree - my dealer have made really fancy :cool: Red on red :love: 😁 But there is one thing that bothers me. Rotation direction of that broom (or brush - how it's correct...

don't forget to reed small print too On oil can should be stated, that mix is good only few months. Pro loggers dosnt feel that at all, but farmers might use their saws once in year. But that good old gas+oil mix from last time can be used only to light-up bonfire, no to be poured in saw.

Technically that should be easy job. But I can bet, Tesla will not understand, how it's possible to "drive" and to "charge" simultaneously Not to hijack thread, but can't keep it to myself. :) I genuinely believe, that with raising demand, "third parties" soon will start to offer "range...

Actually not entirely stupid, but still. Looks creepy 😄 Dog is not impressed 😄 While Elon is only promising, not delivering Cybertruck, we have to haul tractors with what we have 😄 But frankly speaking - Tesla is extremely good tractor. Pulling power is great. And I like option to see what...

What makes you wonder ? I have made really like 5 sec googling of "hydromotor" and on first page first result, third in row motor makes 3500 rpm. Plain standard. Drum is driven via gear worm, thus it becomes really slooooow as comrades have noticed 😀

I am not an expert, but IMHo hydraulic is hydraulic. You just have to take care of flow and pressure. If it fits, then it will work

Little view from side First of all - to me tuition fees in US universities seems ridiculous. They has to be adjusted. I can agree, that college degree is not for everybody, young folks has to be motivated to go trough school. But come on, not 100k Other than that, IMHO EU system seems...

Interesting indeed I have lived old enough to remember here was pumps with even A 76 grade inside. To use that moonshine in our Moskvitch my old man put one more gasket between head and cylinder block. Thus reducing compression in cylinders. 🙃 ignition has to be adjusted either. Obviously...

Nope. As tractor is new, I don't turn motor above 2000 rpm Maybe that's wrong, but I mean: rpm = flow = speed of hydraulics At the end pressure should be the same, not so much relevant on rpm ?

I dont have BH. Just dont need it. I have BH on bigger tractor, but already few years it stays put. now I am planning counterweight. I mean around 200 kg should do the job. BH is ~ 300 kg

At first reading I got you a bit wrong. 😉So I edited 6,89 $ = 6,06 EUR 1 gal = 3,785 L So thats equal 1,6 €/l for gas and 1,5 €/l for diesel But you have to consider that I live in quite cheap country. I / NL / FR / UK taxes a lot heavier than our government does. Here screen from one...

Here customers have 2 options - follow pool (with a little mark-up) or go fixed rate. First option is nice, if you can run big consumers at night, normally - from 2300 till 0600. Like I have 2 EVs and I benefit a lot from this Sometimes, in windy nights rates was even negative. 😁 But then come...

Here on one motorcycle shop is written "Money can't buy happiness, but it cant buy motorcycle. Which is pretty much the same thing" 😄

Actually hydraulics started to struggle either. Both lifting and tilting. Only noise changed when joystick was pulled. 😬

Seats safety trigger is overly sensitive. Boy cant ride it alone. For him that is massive disappointment. But I mean, I will not bridge that. At least for while.

Frankly - FEL capacity is a bit of disappointment. That chunk is only 2,4 m long. Aspen, which is light wood. OK, directly from stump, could be full with juices, but it is "winter cut" = should be pretty dry already Maybe some weight on rear 3p will help. Guys - do you have any idea, how...

For FEL I have 3 implements. Original forks & bucket But snow blade is different story. Because it looks way better than YM original, that one I have ordered that one from Finland - Compact Tractor Snow Plow | HillTip SnowStriker™ Tractor snow plow Finns will make it fit to YM unique FEL design...

Yesterday collected my new toy :cool:

3/3 Firewood time Friend of mine is running hardwood flooring company. Those chunks is no value to him, so every year I am taking 2 - 3 for Midsummer bonfire and heating It is oak. You might notice - cut is not 100 % perfect. That's because I am sharpening chain by hand Result. At the...

2/3 Another toy. Leaving at rancho for winter. Few years ago have made nice trips in Italian and Swiss alps. Now, with fcukig C19 havent ride that beast so much This is our First Lady with our President 18/11, our Independence day we were gathering in city centre. My son noticed - this guy...

Everybody is asking for pictures, so lets take a look :) Just random snaps. Rancho: Sovjet's MTZ with my new firewood processor attached. BTW - great machine. Not tractor, that's junk, that processor works super. 0 electrics, all mechanics and hydraulic splitter. Super reliable, simple...

+1. Leffe blonde is my favorite 🍺

here are 2 big producers of trailer components - Knott and Al-ko. I mean they offer the same quality products. Those brakes are installed in all trailers of all EU, from Norway to Italy, from Latvia to Portugal. I have driven a lot with that trailer, also on quite challenging roads. Have never...

It's -20 C. He still feels well. 😬

Those guys are more working with industrial customers, with yellow Yanmar (construction) machines. This one poor SA 424 they have got like by accident :)

I am wondering, why U guys in USA don’t use trailers with overrun (or inertia) brakes ? This my trailer is rated GVW 1500 kg, Neto - 1200 kg. And it handles that weight really good. When it comes to breaking there are no issues. Really like that. And side loading is a thing.

Those guys have quite messy "black stock", not for customer's eyes. But I managed to slip in there :)

Yo I am owner of small company, located in Riga, Latvija For those who are now wondering, where the hell is that place - it’s 100 miles from Sweden, just over Baltic Sea. And yeah, we have border with Russia and now NATO and US helps us to keep that border tight. Thank you for your service ...
