Hitch bent. Extra bolts? Ratchet straps fix anything.

good point. started at the battery and cleaned every connection I could find, seemed to fix it up.

i am having some electical issues with my 2012 4720h. used it day before, went to hop on and start, the start sylonoid clicked a few times and then the whole thing went dead. now, no lights on dash, nothing when key is turned to on position, and no crank. battery is good, i have voltage to...

Wide load. Yesterday in front of me, headed to the highway. At least take the hitch ball off?

i'm sure you depreciate it for your business too. purchase price 5,000 and an average maintenance cost of around 500 per year works pretty well for us hobbyist. The value of my truck has actually gone up from purchase time. The 90s and early 00s trucks are coming back as a simple, cheap...

I found my 01 2500 8.1L big block suburban and my other somewhat rare car on carguru.com. aside: I can't imagine spending 80k on a truck. F that noise. My 5k truck is great. also, if you like the v10, you may find the 8.1L to be as good or better in a chevy. the gmt800 platform is as every...

They always tell you to turn into a spin right? ha. this snow is some of the wettest I have every had to deal with. it's the same density as the mud below it. changed my strategy to straight blade and backing up to plow the actual steep part of the road, taking short runs and pushing off the...

almost put it on its side. decided the fence would be easier to fix than flipping the tractor upright. Colorado blizzard, about 1.5 feet of super heavy snow. mfwd on, chains on rear tires. hit a drift with rear blade and it spun the front off the side. slid down sideways fast. maybe 6 feet...

i replaced the original with this: Off-Road LED Work Light / LED Driving Light with Push-Button Switch - 5" Round - 42W - 2,000 Lumens i am very happy with the light and robustness of it. It also already has a nice weatherproof switch on the back. has anyone found a replacement for the...

We had hilux's and new 70 series LC's when I was working in moomba/innaminka around 2013. They were fantastic. I would gladly take a 70 single cab ute bed. They were all outfitted with large fuel tanks, bumpers, lifts, tires, etc.

dailys are a 13 volt ( fantastic car!) and a 2019 buick regal tourx station wagon. farm truck is 2001 2500 suburban with the 8.1L big block. 210k on it. camping, hauling, etc.

it was easier than I thought it would be. took me an hour or so.

thanks!

can the rim and wheel plate be in any orientation to get the width you want? I have a 4720H and the 3 point stabilizer bars are too close to the tires since i installed the pat's system to run my tire chains. it appears that I can put the hoop on the rim on the outside instead of the inside of...

Zone rated offshore oilfield equipment. Engine driven hydraulic power packs in explosive proof form, positive pressure cab full of my computer equipment with multiple interchangable winch drums with different IPS steel cables approx. 20,000 feet long for different situations to lower tools for...

i use some easy off degreaser/ oven cleaner. works great.

we put lvp from Metrofloor in our previous house. It held up great to our 3 large dogs, cats, foster kids. I would use their products again. A general contractor we work for also recommends lifeproof brand from HD. just be sure to stick to the 100% plastic stuff, no MDF backer.

i have about 25 acers in hay. my neighbor has the equipment and i run some on my tractor, usually I will rake and ted or flip the we bail my 3 on shares, 50/50. in good years he gets my overage from feeding my small flock. In bad ill take a few of his on credit to a good year. He also...

best can for, uh, "energy dense liquids" that I have used. and come in all the fun colors for your needs. :cool:

i have about a mile total of a combo of red and ok brand and i find no difference in quality. whichever is cheaper/in stock when in need. its not easy to tension. i usually do middle first, then bottom, then top. cut all the verticals at the post and wrap them around and tie back into itself, a...

this, Colorado also. I only put the blower on if we have a big snow and/or I have to do my neighbors switchbacks for them. The blade creates too much resistance and side slope on the uphill run to their house trying to push me down a very steep slope.

CG is red and blue. also, that boat is like 35 to 40 feet and has a bunch of plainclothes people standing on it. it's not nearly heavy enough to pull buoys. yellow and black are MTU colors, and I have been on the agassiz before. that black stripe on the front says Michigan Tech University if...

looks like the Agassiz from Great Lakes Research Center / Michigan Tech

are you there? haha. it was bought a bit ago, and they did not know what exactly they were going to do with it, which i thought was a strange thing for a company. I love the big ships, we take the badger every couple years or so visiting family and friends, and follow what's going on with...

hmm, Interlake does have a military tug sitting next to the spartan in Ludington...

The barker can haul about anything. Great to see the big ships. I hope Interlake stays with and upgrades all the ramps for the Badger after the collapse. There was a roomer that the Ryerson was undergoing inspection to see if it could be recommissioned, if not, it will go to scrap.

its just a **** job. sorry. not sure there is anything you can do about it now.

we did about 500 smalls just in time for lots of rain, neighbors have many acres cut and rotting. an interesting year for the weather. we are above our avg. yearly rainfall already. lots of hay around if you can get it cut and bailed dry.

It looks like sheet mold compound or similar, you should be able to plastic weld it. You may call around to anyone who makes plastic tanks around you and they will have some expertise in this area. sounds like you should be able to reinstall without the stress of the misalignment?

On that job an offset boom like the older komatsu minis would be fantastic. Would be afraid I would collapse what is there if I straddle with a hoe.

@KilroyJC same situation out here, hard to find a good one and expensive. I am in a similar situation.

I picked up a Shindaiwa 757c with a 24in bar on it at an auction. it's a beast and went for half the price of a similar Stihl. Will be great for occasional use when my Stihl won't cut it. any opinions on older Shindaiwa stuff? It was an impulse buy. pulled it out of the truck and started in...

No kidding. 6k mini though, what do you think about its usefulness for the tasks described. I know I really don't want anything too much smaller. I have some equipment background but not in Exs and Backhoes. large man lifts, large Hydraulic winches, cranes up to 60 ton, Oil rig equipment...

that cat weighs about 6200 lbs according to specs and I could easily tow it with existing equipment, much more weight and I would have to upgrade my trailer. used equipment out here is either totally worn out, very high price or far away. I am leaning mini as well. but with a weight limit of...

looking to spend around 15k, will be splitting with a neighbor ( yes I know, Danger Will Robinson!) but I know he takes care of his equipment and so do I. any leads? anything to watch out for? I see a lot of case 580s, some 560s. smaller is good and a mini ex would be maybe more useful but price...

been alot of that around here also! spent a fair few hours this week plowing.

I would get a beam type from tekton if I was replacing. I have a full set of click type protos that are calibrated. 3/8, 1/2 Inch Drive 72-Tooth Split Beam Torque Wrench Set (2-Piece) | TRQ99902 | TEKTON pretty sure they are sourced from CDI just like snap on and other top brands...

its a little angle. still up there. it is tight on the porch for now with the large squares. I don't mind this size. We fill tote cages with hay for our 6 sheep and a llama. forks to move the cage to the hay, fill up and then fork it back out to the pasture.

a little video stacking hay for the winter. sheep should be happy! https://photos.app.goo.gl/wvcXqJYo7gyk3bce6

https://www.rolair.com/products/air-compressors/hand-carry/jc20 I have one like this, there is a smaller version as well and its been fantastic. rolair is going to have a high quality version of whatever type you like. we also have a honda powered rolair wheelbarrow for larger jobs.

neat Moss!. We work on an Italian printing machine about 50 feet by 20 feet tall from time to time and its a total crap shoot for documentation. It is used to print food lables on shrink wrap. we have been wiring up a tenet finish for a lighting store for the past few weeks, about 200 new...

as an electrician, just do the interlock, its not hard or expensive.

looks like mucking to me. i want to see the bender they used though!

yes, it's really big. oh how I miss the UP. going to visit this feb. for the copper dog race and skiing at bohemia. should be fun.

Toyota is known for this issue, they use a soy based wire insulation. my in-laws had 3 4runners have this same problem in FL, one of them was totaled due to wire damage from mice. others had quite a bit of damage.

we just installed a 10.8 kw system. total cost installed is about 23k which includes a propane generator backup source as well. about 20k for the solar. Canadian made panels and microinverters. just waiting for the the go ahead by the utility to flip the switch. we got a low interest loan...

what year is it?

I just picked up an 01 8.1L suburban and LOVE it. 200k miles and runs and drives great. cheap too, and will pull 12k lbs.

and your lifters can still fail in a few different ways, or you can end up with oil pressure issues because of the VLOM. should have specified, when I rebuilt mine I could not do a physical delete, which is the best way to avoid any issues. i traded it in on a station wagon, and picking up...

mine failed at 120k. its not a small % that fail and those of us that need to pass emissions inspections cant delete it.

GM started it in the early 90s and it was sold off around 01 I believe. anyhow... point it bellyaching about OnStar as a pay service and comparing it to paying monthly for heated seats is a bad comparison. maintaining a network of ground stations and satellites or renting that bandwidth is...

There is a lot of maintainable infrastructure for OnStar, it still uses satellites if there is no cell coverage. not much for heated seats. GM piggy backed on their DirecTV, Hughes net and XM radio services under Hughes electronics for OnStar and now rents bandwidth from whoever owns those...

the lift was built right down the road from you I imagine. are they still in Braga? is it up on the hill above Houghton? an old mine building?

not that much difference, my GT was about 1k lbs and hydro have had several of both GT and ZTR. ATV tires work great on all of them. you can find ATV tires rated prober weight. i think the ones i used were 6 ply. current ZT has a size not readily available in atv tires, so I have turfs on it.

at what psi though? lots of atv tires are rated at a very low psi. i would not worry about that part much, as you are going much slower on a mower. I put atv tires on my last garden tractor and it made a huge difference in traction and did less damage to the turf. it just depends on if you...

I have also had good luck at ACE for craftsman stuff. I have had terrible Lowes experiences as well, with special orders and returns, and every time I go in to Lowes here, its a total mess. the depot across town is great, the people are helpful and the customer service is far superior.

Branson 47 hp and almost tipped her over with a cube about 24x24x24 inches of sandstone on the forks. no counterweight though. weights around 5k with loader. I figure the rock was around 1800-2k lbs. I just picked up a welding table 3 miles away est weight was 1400 and it was not a problem...

i need to learn more about hay. why cut now when the grass is short, first cut is lower quality, so you let it grow more for 2nd? I see people getting first cut here on fields that have maybe 8 or 10 inch tall growth, and half of it is seed stalk. is it to get rid of the seed stalk early...

i am going for 100 per sq foot as well.

I cut verticals and then go all the way around, wrap the wire back on itself. just need about 3 loose staples top bottom and center to keep it from moving vertically. this lets it move a little with the seasons and the tension stays in the fence longer, preventing broken wires at stress...

If I had listened to other people for all my decisions I would be much poorer and much less happy. I'll stick with my Branson, thanks.

I just make it a point to drive the wife's car once in a while to avoid most of this, and 2x a year inspections when I swap summer and winter tires.

spicy brown or whole grain for me. yellow is ick.

oh man, if I was doing hay i would have one of these. if its in good shape, its a fantastic deal on a hard to find machine. https://lincoln.craigslist.org/grd/d/steinauer-ford-4wd-276-ii-bi/7471477087.html

https://eastco.craigslist.org/grq/d/keenesburg-white-155/7484372767.html maybe a bit big but not a bad ride. budget? what is the terrain like? do you have to worry about it being wet? can you live with stacking with another machine? how much hay do you make a year? with older stuff...

is the radiator getting hot? water pump pumping? may be time for a compression test when cold, then right after its running rough/quits. oil plug is evidence of crank case pressure, blow by. seems to be heat related if it sits and comes back to life. test the injectors? I have heard of...

You all know that it's impossible to get 3500 watts out of a 110 outlet right? Max is about 1500 watts, 2 hp. Anything more is a lie.

well done cabinet hardware jig: if the US made one was like 50 bucks, I would go that route, but its over $200! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HC4QX4M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 clean your dogs feet with this, you will thank me! its fantastic. the large fit our 130...

the stainless ties I have seem fine. I just roll up the end with a pair of needle nose to tighten. also, I don't trim the plastic ones I use all the time.. I can not be trusted. o_O

same stuff. but just bought for whatever you want to use it for. I have a few on my weather station setup. good for permanent fencing, wiring, etc.

yes, they last a lot longer, but I have had them slide apart a bit? the ones i have are smooth though, some have a pattern stamped into them

some pictures may help? are you having trouble lining it up or getting the pin pressed in? some of the hose routing on mine is not the best, had to replace the hose from the pump to the block for the loader under the valve, it was run across the front drive shaft tube that moves a bit and...

tell us more about your tractor. back hoe? what were you doing when it cracked? its going to need a new casting, you could probably braze it but it will have to be taken apart either way.

a nylon strap that goes over the tire? or the axle strap with a ring on both ends? I am not sure one should haul a tractor like they do a side by side. a bit more description could help out.

anyone have a circ saw mill like a Lucas or similar?

my 4720h has split brakes and a manual auto style parking brake.

mostly black smoke.

overall do you believe the issues are from abuse or from design? i have a similar vintage 4720h with 725 hours on it currently. it smokes on startup for maybe 10 seconds.

dig a ramp and fill with structural fill in 6 in lifts, compacted between with a plate or roller.

if not clear, what is being said is the belt should be tight all the time.

will it spin the tires if you jack it up? is it full of hydraulic fluid? the pump is always working and the lever just moves a valve to direct the flow of fluid, its not like there is some kind of gear or clutch engagement.

check out the Tekton boxes made by Roussou in Canada, they are very high quality at a good price. built just like vidmar boxes. great dividers, heavy steel, great casters. no cheap drawer slides, its a steel carriage with real ball bearings ( races and balls) not just some balls in a stamped...

run them flush and call it a day. overthinking it. I have always used the fasten master ones and they have been great. I am sure simpson and GRK are good as well.

see if the well is running dry? check the current on the wire to the pump.

a Mummy. one leg was not attached, but close by. not sure how it died, but it was a while ago. in an old shed on a property we moved to 6 months ago.

his location is Wisconsin, I would want at least 4 foot to get under the frost. my pole building posts in Colorado will be 6 feet deep, fence posts get as close to 4 as I can bear to dig them. yes, that should work fine on your tractor. if your soil is very rocky or hard clay, you may be...

65 lbs per square foot. Whoops.

the earlier pic of the flat roof structure would blow down or be crushed by snow here. ha. 65 psi snow and 150 wind is the building i'm getting in the next month or so, but at 10x the cost some of you are doing this for. fully enclosed/insulated/doors etc.

0 and snow here. ha, always gets me people talking about planting before mothers day.

The HF engines are copies of the honda, and are quite good. I am very happy with the pressure washer from them. the carb and whatnot are the same as the gx honda on our large rolair compressor that is also a fantastic machine.

a tripod may work, I would add several braces across the legs on 2 sides and think about what happens when it falls on its side, or make it well anchored or guyed out. make sure to have room for the pully and hook at the top. If you are in a place with oil wells, you can usually get 2 7/8...

sheep, then you need a llama, and some dogs to protect the sheep, and wake up when the llama alerts. Then you can spend it on hay and dog food. haha. seriously though, mowing grass sucks and there is not reason to do that much of it. animals may cost the same amount but they are same amount...

I would be up for being a moderator. I frequent several forums on different topics, its time I gave back a little.

deeper and more open, yes. it was about a 1k lb machine with me on it.

D should be mfwd. fill the radiator with water and change the oil and see what happens. if it runs well it may just need a head gasket, if not who knows. offer the worth of the implements if you want the project. not much difference in rebuilding a diesel vs a gas engine.

I put ATV tires on my Cub Cadet garden tractor and it totally transformed it to a much more capable machine when I needed traction. a pattern like this: https://www.atvtires.com/product/otr-350-mag-off-road-tires/

you may give EA a call, they must make replacements for their stuff, and the bolt pattern sounds like its the same as the land shark series stuff. i think it's same pattern as my bison as well, but mine is reversible. i bet if you know any local machine shops, that you can just order a...

@CalG a lot of people do not have any understanding of heat transfer. You hear a lot of "it's always 72 according to my thermostat, why do I feel cold in the winter!" a: radiation heat transfer to the cold wall surface despite the air temp better though to describe it as heat transfer...

Murdoch's here stocks them if you have one around. or look up vp racing on amazon. picked up a yellow one just last week. very well made and cheaper than the compliant can.

6L is a great engine. it will tow 6-8k no trouble. I would much rather have this than a ford of the same era.

when the people that work for google put tape over there cameras, so do I. Mine has a convenient metal slide shutter built in!

holy Wa. never seen a prostitute out on Keweenaw bay eh. would have been funnier if he said "hookers"

i sat in one at the CO farm show a few weeks ago, seemed pretty nice, and cheaper than many used name brands around here.

thanks everyone! I swear the Branson guys are more helpful than others. maybe because we all know the pain of harder to find parts/dealer help. always sucks to find overlooked issues after buying a used machine. front axle was only about 2 cups low. so no big deal. ill have to jack it up...

I will probably just have to take it all apart and get a new hose made. i have a loader but no remotes. the loader book just has the actual hoses on the loader up to the disconnects on the tractor, nothing about hoses and whatnot on the tractor itself.

the "manual" for this thing is sparse I discovered it, put the garden hose chunk on it and must have flexed it enough to break it loose and start the leak. damn. i have only owned this machine for about 4 months. the tube in the center is were the 2 sections of cover over the front...

I have a line that crosses from near the HST pedals back to the left side under the transmission case. It looks like the cover for the front drive shaft rotates a bit and has worn the line down to the metal braid and its leaking a tiny bit. i could not find it in the parts diagram. anyone...

it smells like 80/90 yes. but bought used, so no idea of someone changed it. ill stick with that.

ok, i did not know if that yellow steel bolt was meant to be removed or held / adjusted the lash on the left side. the right side has an obvious plastic fill cap. stick with the 80/90?

my McKee econoplow snow blower needs some love. the chain tensioning is done via a flat belt pully and a bolt in a slot for adjustment, very simple and very worn out. should I find another flat belt pulley or replace with an idler sprocket? any advantage or disadvantage to either one? its a...

I can not seem to find how to check the level of the oil in the front axle of my 4720h. I see the fill plug on the right side hub, but no stick or level check bolt?? my hubs leak a little bit and i want to make sure I keep it topped off. also, it says 80/90 on the fill plug, but the manual...

R4's here. I wont touch a side slope without the chains on in the winter. our land is not very sloped, but i still slide sideways off the crown of the road. Many neighbors live on the ridges east and west and request help with my larger machine in the winter, would be easy to die without chains...

storm total here is around a foot. snow blower was super awesome. i'm going to have to do a little rehab on the chain drive this summer, the tensioner thing is worn out and a stupid design. and some longer 3 point pins with spacers to give a little more space for the tire chains. it's an...

https://pages.galileowheel.com/media/ I saw these at the Colorado farm show, they look interesting.

its outperforming here in northern Colorado, should mean a bit less moisture across the plains. well over 12 in the back yard here and calling for 10 to 12 for a total. calling for snow until midnight or so.

don't worry, I took the time to hook up the snow blower. Guaranteed to be a dud now! :ROFLMAO:

if I did it again, I would buy an echo. look for a local dealer for the best service and selection.

total BS. engine tolerances are impressively tight. loose tolerances do not lead to less friction in most cases. a perfect tolerance is designed to have just the right amount of oil film to run at a very low coefficient of friction. my uncle retired from a GM engine plant. He managed the...

new fad, garage door wraps! I think Ill take a D10 on mine.

had 2 Sierra's, an 09 and a 15. loved both. bought the first new and put 100k on it, only issue I ever had was leaky transmission cooler lines and had to replace the half shaft seals on the front diff. all under warranty, not a big deal either way for both items. the 15 got a new front diff...

yea, I know. I have one 40 ft hi cube that we will keep. it's what the budget can handle. I'm not going to finance this. enough of a payment on the house/land. this builder did a very nice job on a neighbors place. i am having them do the concrete as well. I will stub the utilities...

we had a great time at the show today. lots of good vendors to talk to and the sheep and energy programing was actually very good. always a fun time to look at the the large equipment as well.

i ended up going with a lester pole barn, a local company is putting up the shell and I will finish. they could do it about 6 months faster than any steel building and its a good local company that a neighbor recommended. 36x40 with a porch that will turn into a green house. should be built...

glad your problem is solved.

you are missing the piece in the rectangle hole that clicks on to the socket. also, that ground pin is very corroded.

the final drives on a tractor are HUGE ratios. 5 to 1? something like that, then you must also overcome the ratio at the differential. it would take 10 of you to spin the thing from the wheel side. think of the ratio on a car, and the RPM, then think of the same on your tractor. the ratio in...

1. the speed ranges are well before the differential and this behavior is totally correct. because of the ratio and helical cut of a pinion gear it will take a huge amount of force to spin it from the wheel vs the transmission. when you are spinning the left, the right is driven by the...

solid deal. I love my Branson.

good lesson. one also gets very familiar with this situation when running hydraulic equipment at different elevations.

we abandoned 3 years of work and moved. starting fresh with a new pole barn in march with 10x 36 "porch" that will become our greenhouse. love eating on our pumpkins, potatoes, garlic, tomato sauce, etc all winter.

compacted road base and proper elevation.

Anyone else going to the Colorado Farm show next week in Greely? we are headed up on Thursday for Sheep and sustainability day. Should be fun to check out all the new stuff and learn a thing or 2.

This is my process as well. usually I will raise and secure one end, un roll and put some tension on, then walk the fence and make sure its not hung up on anything. pick up the top and push the bottom into where you want it at the post with my boot on the way back to the loose end. a couple...

using only staples on the corners will loose your tension over a few seasons. best way that I like is cutting the verticals and wrapping each of the horizontals back to it self, with at least 3 or 4 twists around itself with the tension on. let the tension go and then a few staples to keep...

that's how it works on my 2012 4720h get up to speed, tap button on and then it stays going that speed till I hit the button or brake. the button is a latch button that sticks down when on and up when off, i could see that mech. failing and then it would not work.

As long as you pull it out of the boxes, I think you are fine, or at least make it short enough nobody can reconnect it.

i know the area well also, used to drive that way a lot. I'm sure it was an accident, and most of the rhetoric about the 12 tribes group is totally not relevant and meant to stir up discontent and hate. I read another article that was very disparaging of the group. also, they make a fantastic...

many people we know were evacuated, sounds like they are mostly unscathed. but an unimaginable firestorm. we could see the smoke billowing to the east while installing some fencing. we are 23 miles north and a touch west of the fire. It could have easily been our valley.

I liked the bridgestone revo 2 on our work trucks. also, you cant go wrong with Michelin LTX or the all terrains. Michelin still makes the most round tires out of everyone. if you want a budget option I did like the cooper all terrains for the price, about half of Michelin.

i am glad the store by us is well stocked and they generally have good help.

the sides look annoying as heck. it looks like there are very few tie down points on the trailer you show in the OP. the mesh and sides may seem like a good idea now, but will by very annoying when you want to put a pallet on there, or lift something on and off with a forklift. the mesh...

not so much on, but with. 990 feet of field fencing on existing 3 strand barbed. only had to build one more brace for tensioning, and used the existing T posts. GD its a lot of work to get it all tensioned correctly and spliced and whatnot. every foot done by me myself and I. had to clear...

yea, its great, but also tough to get used to after having an old gear drive with no synchro's. my feet are trained to run the brakes on the right and the clutch on the left, not the forward and reverse on the right and the brakes on the left.

those of us that went to school in Houghton get to say that its "yooper engineered!"

I used the traveler premium brand hydraulic transmission fluid from tractor supply in my hino built allice Chalmers 5020 and it seemed to work great.

for 25k? a new 4k lb sany is about that much. I don't know if you got the deal of the century or if you are just joshing us.

any one research this company? https://www.ngollc.com/products/021-05-komatsu-pc28uu i see them advertising Japanese imported and refurbished machines for around 20k, some with some neat features. we are interested in getting something for the next couple years as we make a lot of...

we have about 2 dozen turkeys that love our little valley. magpies, some others nexting in hte hole in the shed. need to put up some next boxes for them, and maybe a bat house too.

dang, if someone gave me those prices, in USD I would tell them to come and do it straight away! I think its funny how the aussies call that an "american style barn" did not see your location in the first post. I worked for 2 years out by the Queensland/SA corner. Moomba, and got to know the...

Looks awesome! What company? I love that style but save a bit of money doing clear span. I got an updated quote... Holy hell. 55k for the building itself and I can't imagine concrete will be any less than about 11 per sq foot. So I'm going to have to find another company or downsize. I got a...

it would be quite a bit of grading, and i have flood irrigation in the back, and i would have to build a road around the house. back is slated for greenhouse and orchard space. the front is dryer, there is already a road, and power is closer.

got my led's installed. the work light with the switch seems pretty heavy duty. nice cast housing, big stainless hardware. the lights are brigter to the eye, esp. the back up lights. the blinkers are a bit faster, but not enough to make me put the resistor in. the 4 way flasher is a nice...

any parts store? amazon? its like the most common headlight bulb ever.

yea, i could have paid about the same money for 5 acres raw around here as we did for this one with a nice house, well and septic, which gives me money to build this. its about 1700 feet long and 150 feet wide at the front and 100 feet wide at the back. house about 2/3s back from the road...

with the 10 ft eave and 60 wide, i have about 18 feet peak height with a 3/12 and 20 with a 4/12 pitch and the center bay max height is about 15. at 12 feet wide in the center bay we still have 12 foot of interior height minimum at 3/12 and 14 at 4/12. with a truss wall height at 14, its 20...

huh, never seen it that way. love it. much stiffer wall package than 2x4 on the flat. i was thinking steel to keep the overall height of the building lower and still keep good interior height for the center bay. also the cost for materials seems not that much different and the steel comes all...

steel or wood frame? would like to see what you mean by commercial gerts and the insulation if you have a picture.

changes: 12 ft doors, drive through. @AGreenFarmer yea, the guy I have been talking to said they recommend closed cell foam and it does not change the warranty.

i was thinking back corner for wood shop. maybe 20x20. that would really be plenty for me. its actually more money to do the center posts vs clear span the 60 feet. 60 feet is nothing to these guys. no trusses, clear span steel. 40 depth only requires 3 frames.

yea, i think drive through on at least the center bay. its for sure larger than our house! house is 1900 sq ft ranch. ill shoot for a light color roof, good advice. not really planning on hay in this building. if we end with with animals they will get their own space.

my wife wants a canning kitchen with a commercial style stove and such. we will see how much the budget is! I have to figure out what I can get away with septic system wise adding fixtures. I want to have a solid design down before I go to the county. I would like to do closed cell foam...

:rolleyes: yep, sure what I meant, a cheap-o galvanized wave panel building. steel structure with R-panel, nice over hangs, not sure on color... thinking blue or green and off white. been talking to these guys a bit: https://greatwesternbuildings.com They have a production facility not...

take it out and look at it, i bet its just an H4. the Branson part numbers are just about useless.

we want to build a workshop. I am thinking about 60 x 40. want a steel building for good bay height in the center, but keeping it lower overall to lower its visual impact on the property. It will be placed a few hundred feet in front of our home on a narrow, long 5 acre plot. we will store a...

a properly made LED bulb should work fine, HID lamps require a totally different reflector. I also hate when people use non-dot compliant headlights, I don't think it will be a problem on the tractor though. about half the bulbs in my tractor were out anyway, so if doing all of them, why...

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bully-Tools-24-in-Steel-Snow-Pusher-with-Fiberglass-D-Grip-Handle-92817/206746839 steel snow pusher like this, but yellow with wood handle. bungeed to the loader arm to do sidewalks.

ordered everything but the headlights from superbright leds. ill do a side by side. interesting that the flasher module on these is not anything universal. kinda weird. picked up some resistors for that. the part number is NTC5510000A3 and I cant figure out why it needs so many wires for...

yea, cree is my fav. i'm a little miffed the home depot here got rid of the cree lightbulbs. also, I have used the warranty for a 3 way bulb and they responded quickly and sent an upgraded replacement asap with no fuss or argument.

great discussion. I am going to do it, because i want to, and for science. i'll report back as well. take some dark pics before and after.

End up plowing snow in the dark quite a bit here, drive is about 1500 feet long to the dirt road and there is very little light pollution in our valley that runs north and south. sun raises and sets maybe 45min early and late due to the mountains on either side of a narrow valley which makes...

Going to upgrade the work light to the HF led flood, need to either add a switch or change it to turn on and off with the head lights. also, thinking of installing LED headlight bulbs and flasher/running light, brake light bulbs. have you done this, has it worked out with the flashers? any...

so far I am loving this machine. I used some jbweld plastic epoxy and that seems to work well on the broken light housing, i may glue one side of the lens on it to strengthen the circle part, or get some large steel washers to glue in to strengthen the mounting hole. they seem pretty weak for...

it looks like the stiffener from the bottom of a stainless restaurant prep or equipment table. often they are kind of held in by the rolled edge of the sides. or a wall bumper from a walk in / commercial kitchen.

just got my branson 4720h yesterday. used it a bit to move some things around today. fantastic. cleaned and lubed the linkage for the pedals, and seems to be a bit easer to run, need to inspect the return spring. does anyone have a link for the big orange light housing for the hazard...

finally sold the property and received the tractor. Its kinda hard to change the ranges, do I just need to lube up the hydro pedal linkages? the hydro pedals also stick a bit, do not return to center when you let off. makes using the forks precisely hard.

uh, yea? everything happens over time. what's your point? the rate at which the monetary supply is increasing is way higher than it has been in the past. highest in 70 or so years. not a political party thing if that's where you are trying to go.

modular just refers to its design for manufacturing on a line that can build a lot of different engines all at the same time. so they are designed with similar bolt spacing, pick points, cart attachments, etc. design for manufacturing is not about having something that is similar...

its transitory!!! :ROFLMAO: ah, no, its not. its the obvious and logical consequence of our monetary policy.

how about a grasshopper or other front mount mower with a snow blower and a 72 in deck. should speed up the mowing, a larger zero turn with more traction. and it will move snow when you need it. one engine to maintain. will mow pretty much anything grass based. if you don't have all that many...

interested in this as well. the pioneer seems like the best built, lacking the CVT.

tad bigger? i think you are over est. its physical size. i think it sounds like a fine machine.

i seem to remember they had to move the cones for the parallel park from the lines on the test area. lol.

must have been my Dads 90s buick road master. it was as long as by crew cab truck and the back end hung over the rear axle about 6 feet.

looks like the van was not the right vehicle for that job. lol.

i sold a Mitchel fishing hut camper in about 2013. Every couple years i get a call about it. I have never been able to figure out where it is still posted.

https://dothan.craigslist.org/grd/d/perote-yanmar-2000-tractor/7375852883.html ? not a bad deal really. offer 6 cash.

i have Bilstein 5100s on my truck and am very happy with them as well.

i mean... you cant even mow with any of those, the clutch thing and the engine rebuild are red flags to me. how about you make do with this: pto, cat 0 3 point, solid machine well under your budget that will be worth 2k for a long time. and it will mow the grass without extra stuff...

got an app that shows towers and were you are connected, its showing the group of towers 8 miles away that are line of sight. called "network cell info lite" works great.

i would not worry about turf vs ag tire at your budget. the trufs are nearly useless for anything but mowing. if you want a loader, save up, increase your budget and/or wait to find something with a loader.

there is really nothing wrong with the david brown, they are well built machines and parts are not as hard to come by as you might think. lots of them sold all over the earth. i would be seriously considering weather you think 2wd will be adequate in Alaska though.

what's your budget?

yea, i'm not putting up a tower. as far as natural structures, there are none. i think our chimney is the highest thing not made of rock/dirt on our property. and certainly the highest thing within 100s of feet of the house. we have about 1 bar most of the time, so i think we are good...

https://www.wilsonamplifiers.com/weboost-home-multiroom-high-gain-lpda-antenna-bundle-470144-lpda/ thinking about this set up. i'm willing to put some money into a quality system. i should have line of sight to 5 towers about 8 miles away, i would have to get a couple hundred feet up to...

i get much much better service when standing on the roof, so at the peak on the end of the house pointing towards town / between the hills would work well I think. we can see about 40 miles in that direction on a clear day. should have plenty of access to run the line in the attic. thanks.

that should be fine, as our wifi is great for data. if my phone picks up one bar of 4g though, will it still use a lower band for text/calling if its a stronger signal? sometimes i have one bar of 4g and sometimes i have one bar of not 4g.

looking at getting a cell signal repeater with an outdoor antenna. we have good service if you can stick your arm 20 feet up in the air, or walk up the hill, but not at ground level. we are on Verizon but multiple bands would be best, as we have family on at&t. any suggestions? we do use...

that thing looks great! looks like they have very solid reviews.

you need to trench that deep. subsoil pulling pipe is for stuff more like 6 to 12 inches deep. anything deeper and you need a vibratory plow https://www.toro.com/en/professional-contractor/vibratory-plows/pro-sneak-365 36 hp, weights about what your tractor weighs and vibrates, and has a max...
