    Help with Hydronic system

    Here is a functional diagram that I did before I started. I had the HVAC guy we bought the boiler from look at it and we figured everything would work fine. The trouble started when the thermic valve was installed. The boiler formerly had a snap disk which powered the pump. At 140 degrees the...

    Help with Hydronic system

    We built a home on the side of a lake. Power is 4 km away (3 miles). Solar was our only option, so we installed a 4kW system to handle our electrical requirements. We installed a wood fired 125,000 Btu boiler in the workshop to feed a 60,000 Btu/hr load. (+\-30,000 Btu/hr house, 30,000 Btu/hr...

    I can't believe I did that!

    Two days ago, I was hauling Cedar logs with my 3 pt mounted skidder winch on the DK40SE Cab tractor. At the end of the day, I lowered the bucket, as always, and turned off the key. It's Miller time! Next morning, I jump in the cab, it's hot, so I open all the windows to let in some fresh air...

    Generator fuel consumption

    Just got a new 14kW Generac Guardian generator set to LP fuel. I haven't had an opportunity to run it yet. Just curious if anyone had the same and what kind of fuel consumption I can expect. The dealer says its either on or off, but the book lists consumption or 1.85 gal @ 50% and 3.07 gal @...

    Chains  Anybody modify and lengthen ladder chains - how to

    I have a set of one year old ladder chains that fit my old CK25 w/R4 tires. They don't fit my DK40. (about 12" short) In addition, the ladder chains don't really work on the R1's, because the crossers lay between the treads. I'd like to run a centre chain to help keep the crossers on top of the...

    Anybody Add a Mid Mount PTO to D35 - DK50?

    Just curious, I bought the bolt on PTO shaft kit for mid mount pto. I thought t was cheap at $250. Apparently, it is designed to fit the DK35 - DK50. It also has a mechanical control (lever). DK35 must have a manual pto. My DK40 is electrically controlled, so I dont think I need the lever...

    Didn't expect that!

    What a day. I traded my 04 CK25 HST on a new CK35 HST a month ago. For the most part, the tractor is laid out the same. The one major difference is the SSQA bucket on the FEL. I noticed that the FEL seemed to be lacking in power, relative to the older one. I called the dealer and we talked about...

    Any "Off-Gridders" out there...what kind of systems do you have?

    Hi there, just wondering if there were any TBNers who are off grid like we are. What kind of equipment are you using? It would be good to get some ideas from others, so I thought I'd ask the question. Pics are good. I'll post our system pics soon. Our system has 20 - 180w solar panels connected...

    Recently retired and we're moving to our 200 acre woodlot/new home. We have issues with the antibiotics fed to chicken and want to raise our own. Does anybody have any experience raising meat chickens? What feed is best? What housing (chicken coop) do we use. I assume a dozen chickens to start...

    New CK35 HST comes tomorrow!

    Finally made the decision to trade up from the CK25HST. 1200 hrs, only problem I had was the key switch corroded and made it hard to start sometimes. My dealer made me an offer I couldn't pass up. Basically gave me over 90% of what I paid for it in 2005! I looked at the DK40, but the difference...
