Where does it squirt urine into the exhaust stream? Just before the filter or does it do it like the Cummins diesel (on 3500's) in the engine cylinders? This has shown to add a lot of fuel to the oil in some cases.

My thoughts exactly. And California - Thanks for rephrasing my request. Looking up "add watermark to irfanview" there are a bunch of tutorials. /edit - Looks like it works well

With ~11 grandchildren and 4 sets of parents taking numerous pictures I'm overwhelmed with pics. I'm looking for a simple program that will pull the date from the exif of a digital picture and burn it into the image, or maybe add a little strip of pixels across the bottom to display the date...

Carpet works well in northern climes (like Vermont), doesn't last many years in southern (like Mississippi) climes.

Did you ever try to snip the balls of moths?

That could be how it all happened to begin with!

Size matters! Reminds me of the old joke: Farmer call his vet, "Doc, my cat needs a laxative, he's all bound up" vet "give him a half pint of castor oil" a few hours later vet calls farmer "how is your calf doing?" Farmer "I said CAT, and right now he's out back with 3 friends. One digging...

It's the complexity of vehicles and inspection requirements that is the downfall. Three instances have hit me with failed inspections on things that didn't matter to me. 1) 2009 VW - Turn signal blinker on the mirror AS WELL as under the taillight. The blinker under the mirror went out, car...

One thing to note on the newer diesels. It seems only on Ram do they inject extra fuel for DPF regeneration through post-injection into the engine cylinders during the exhaust stroke. There have been some complaints about engine oil fuel dilution.

Thanks. I use a lot of gloves. About 15 years ago I started wearing the Wells Lamont leather gloves. Costco was selling the for a price something like 3 pair for $10. Over the course of time I've probably have worn out entirely 10 or 20 pair. But what usually happens they get dirty/paint/oil...

"Trusting in reality" was never real to me. I've always been a "Trust but verify" type guy. My wife and I have been retired on good government pensions since 2011. Many days we struggle to find something we want to do, other than watch the $ slowly pile up in our bank accounts. My main duty...

Does that mean we have to keep them razor sharp? To me that's an advantage of trimmer line if they can solve the "advancing the line" problem.

And its on sale for $2200 last day today. https://www.lymow.com/

And I've been wondering why there isn't a robomower I've found that is based on multiple string trimmers. Maybe 3 heavy duty string trimmers under a deck. Has anyone seen one?

That! You might have a good group of pine poles. Which go for more $/ton. In Mississippi, 2Q 2025 Pine poles were averaging $33.53/ton, sawtimber $21.73/ton link to Ms. prices

Yeah, that's what I was thinking but Paystar did mention a 550 which I guessed might pull a big trailer.

Also very important it the knowledge and user base online. Although sometimes there is an overabundance of free information.

Paystar & Lineman - Is Paystar's "10,800 pound bumper pull beavertail equipment trailer" 10,800 pounds capacity or weight?

Store your trimmer in the shower :)

sorry the link didn't work. try 2 link

Hope your cure is inexpensive, in another thread here I saw complaints about Paxlovid..

Well, first cut. Created a text file from the BCI page groupsizes, imported it into Libre Office text-->saved with .csv extension --> imported into LO Calc, threw out the data past the metric size columns sorted it on size. Saved 2 files, one is Libre, which works for me, one is supposedly...

With a bunch of older different vehicles I need batteries of different sizes. Does anyone have a spreadsheet of the BCI sizes so I can sort on different columns? I'm thinking of being able to sort on length then width.

Drew - I keep one of these in my trailer: jack Along with a DeWalt 20V drill and battery. Makes jacking up easy.

Heck, I could have done that in a couple of months :) Looks like a job well done. Thanks for the numbers. By your description that might figure up to about 3 plus full days for 2 people and 2 tractors.

CONGRATS! Looks great. Can you give us a rough estimate of the man hours it took?

The Shindawa Speed-Feed 400 head I just bought says it will take 20' of .095, and .105 max. My live-at-home 37 yr old son (long story) does most of the trimming and was slightly aggravated. He's been running the DeWalt for about 4 years now and just got loading the Husky T25 loading down pat. :)

Does that include Speed Queen washers? I now have 3 of the TC5's and am looking at getting a 4th (1@ for me in Va. & Ms., 1 at my son's and 1 planned for my daughters). Only the first one in Ms. is over 6 or 7yrs old.

Hang on for the roller coaster ride. With the current process of setting tariffs based on analysis of which way the wind blows businesses have to plan for the worst. And the emphasis is on the first four letters of analysis. Smile, it could get worse. I'm back in to "COVID hoarder mode".

Condolences :(

Diesel works also.

I still do. Especially the larger ones. Use it once to freeze/store food, Clean it out to store parts.

Unless it was a lifetime supply just buy another, As soon as you can't return the new one the misplaced one will turn up.

Throw an old spare tire around it, put some dirt and flowers in the middle. :) If it was in Mississippi they would just put an old refrigerator or washing machine on top.

Is that the job supervisor on the porch? :) Looks like a lot of work was done in this good weather.

What would you experienced trimmer operators suggest for cutting back the "stuff" from the neighbors yard that grows thru the chain link fence that separates properties? This is in Virginia where grass, vines, saplings, etc. have been growing fast. Would one of those 3 plastic blade heads do...

This thread got me to go to Amazon, I found a 1222cc G888 Gasoline Chain Saw Power Head Sprocket Nose 7 tooth 404'' Pitch Compatible With MS880 088 Chainsaw for $607!! Do you think the 1222cc is a typo? :)

That squigly one is called a "Rue pin" or a "ring cotter pin" I bought some about a decade ago. They work really well if you can remember how to use them.

Do you have a picture of a "bell fender washer"? I've made some fender washers into a bell shape, but only because I overtightened them on soft wood.

Drew, always thought survey stakes should have ferrous metal in them for ease of location. You could always fit a large washer around the ones in your link.

I've a 10K cargo trailer, 4 wheels, looking to get new tires, 225 75 R15 Greenball was what I had at one time. But what is recommended now? Probably (based on past experience). I'll only tow 15,000 miles max with them in the next 6 years, carrying about a 7,000lb load or less one way, and...

Well you certainly have the inclination, darn near vertical :)

Lived by that motto all my life. On the subject of when to retire. When I was about 20 I planned on working until I was 75, if I made it. That would be next year. About 3 years after that plan my Grandfather, a hardy practicing Mormon died due to a blood clot causing him to be stranded in a...

The times they are a changing!

Any recommended Android spyware catchers that would warn me about stuff like that?

So get a better cable.

When I was about 7 to 12 years old we had an abandoned old cellar of an old house next to my Dad's 3 acres in Underhill Vt. It was a breeding ground for yellow jackets. We had a game where we would throw rocks at the nests and the guy with the most stings on his body won the round. For some...

A few years before I retired in 2011 Army was flying drones. A researcher I worked with tried to get a project going to obtain low cost drones with cameras for surveillance. But noone would fund a project that produced a $10,000 solution, everybody wanted a $10Million dollar solution. The...

So this thread is going to the dogs! :)

I'm the guy that did a big stock up on toilet paper, coincidentally just as Covid started, just ran out last year. Bought 50lbs of oatmeal a month later, ran out last year. If it don't go bad and I can get it on sale I stock up. Stocked up on wives 41 years ago. Seem like she will last...

My reasons for wanting a diesel include ability to put a 50 gal tank (or two) of fuel in the back cheaply and able to let it idle in the summer to run the a/c. An extra 100 gallons of fuel would give an extra 1500 mile of range.

YKYO When you spend 30 minutes trying to find the best price on a basic drug because you know you will be taking it for the rest of your life. And you can't tell if it helps at all. This just came up with me and my 74 year old eyes. Doctor recommended Preservision Areds2. They cost about...

A few questions - In your neck of the woods do they have many "off lease" tractors for sale? I've read a lot about them, but mainly in the wheat field area up north. And about your bridges - bridges that are low enough to get wet in a flood gather flotsam and jetsam and act as a DAM. I had one...

But how is that much different from us seniors? I remember one of my friends spending about 5K on a Boss Mustang in 1969, on a salary of about $10K /year. This in a state where the TOP speed limit is 50 mph.

I've 2 houses and ~ 1 acre in Va. and 2 houses and ~400 acres in Ms. thank you.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm trying to get away from the DIY work because of my aging body. Repairing trucks is not my strong suite. It's also getting difficult to find trustworthy mechanics. I've had 3 great guys for my diesels (1988 7.3L IDI, 2002 7.3 Turbo), 2 of which passed away...

I've read of DEF freezing but not just solidifying if the vehicle is not driven if let sit in above freezing temps.

How many of you that are not in the delivery or a similar operation and have multiple vehicles operate them more than 12 hours a day, 365 days a year. The rest of the time they are parked.

Yes, sorry, at least I put the link in.

Sorry should have written 2023 Ram Bighorn 4wd with 5.7 diesel. Looking it up it has a 19,980lb towing capacity link . That's what I'm afraid of. Thanks for the input.

Have you looked at just modifying a couple of pallet rack beams?

Background:I'm retired. I've been going through the process of trying to determine what truck to add to my fleet. The truck will be used in Virginia and Mississippi. It's prime purpose will be to gather dust and suck up parking space. Occasionally, maybe 5 times a year I'll drive it from Va...

Well I'm about to give up on determining what each package means. Prices are higher than I planned for and mission creep has set in. I initially had planned on getting a used truck, but I'm not a mechanic and our son that is a pretty good mechanic but is too far away to be much help and makes...

Hang in there Buppies. You are doing a difficult, honorable duty supporting Holly in her time of need. I'm sure all of us in similar situations are praying for you.

That's a good explanation of trim levels, but does not give any details about packages. For example not all tow packages include a 7 pin. For example What's the difference between a 300A and a 600A?

I realize it's a ball of worms in a pot of spaghetti, but I'm trying to find a truck online and be sure it's got my minimum requirements before I drive all over creation. I'm looking to compare specific things and dealing with some salespeople it's always "I'll have to look it up and get back...

Did he catch it and throw it back?

I'm wondering about the difficulty of twirling the spiral on versus manually using a plier type clamper. What gauge rings do you normally use?

I've got about 400 feet of bank that needs stabilizing and was thinking of using gabions. May I ask why you went with hog ring versus Gabion Spirals Binders (helicals) for attaching?

I asked: Does anybody have recommendations? I've seen several advertised on Tv and looked at Granger's website. I'll go back and change that. IF I choose to buy one it will be worth it to me.

Without more facts your statement is useless. What warranty? What problems? The devil is in the details. I'm looking at extended warranties at Granger and they show on their web site some prices. Uses on reddit ford forums recommend Flood Ford, they offer a 10 year 175,000 mile with $0...

I'm looking to buy an F250/Ram 2500 size vehicle for towing my trailers, which carry my tractors and other stuff. In the interest of saving $$ I'm looking at getting a vehicle several years older than new. With labor rates at $200 per hour and up (Alexandria. Va) I'd like to get a bumper to...

I've a 5' KK tiller. My B7610 (23HP) will work it in loosened dry soil, my M4700 will work it in thick clay. I bought it used, after looking for about 4 years (I'm cheap) off Craigslist, before Facebook marketplace became popular. Paid about $800 IIRC. It was too small for the seller...

Snake oil is just what you need. Maybe some Eastern Ratsnakes would keep the mice away.

No "luck", had to chip and grind it out. But toilet repaired. 1 down 3 to go.

Well, My 2012 7.3 dually is paid for Fairfax Va. property taxes on it dropped to $0 after it turned 20. Insurance is not too bad It hauls and does everything I need EXCEPT The density of traffic and downsizing of individual parking slots has made it so I end up having to park in the hinterlands...

I'll probably keep my 7.3.

Shipping containers need their sides to be covered with 6" or more of concrete and rebar to discourage those with a good angle grinder and cutting wheels.

That's about what I paid for my 660's and 880, all three slightly used and bought from 2009-?2014?.

And OILERS are EPA problems. I had to upgrade my oilers on both my 660's to get a decent amount of oil output.

Especially if it's done frequently (more than once a year) on thinning hair. I'll slightly disagree with that statement. It makes finding ticks and chiggers much easier. I think one of my last barbershop haircuts was for my daughters wedding about 5 or 6 years ago. About 2005 I got in the...

on the subject of knee pads: I've always had problems kneeling on concrete, gravel etc, when wearing shorts. And in Mississippi it can be shorts weather year around. So I favor knee pads. Back in April of 2022 Amazon was selling AmazonCommercial Non-marring Knee Pads, 9.5in, white, 3 pair for...

My thoughts also, that's why I was waiting to get reliable internet and vendor. Before the internet wasn't reliable, now it is pretty good. Before I was going to get a Honeywell, now it looks like I would have to rely on a "spin off".

Thanks, I don't trust items when the product is switched to a different mfg.

I've used Hardie board panels and they have stood up very well to Virginia weather with 1 coat of latex pain for about 25 years. I just use a mask when cutting panels with circular saw. I just attached 15lb roofing felt to the studs then screwed hardie panels to the studs. No plywood base. This...

That's why I was trying to do it with a solvent.

Photoshop the images :)

Because the toilet is a Toto elongated. IF a little spray of brake cleaner, or ether, or vinegar or something else would do it it would be a lot cheaper and easier. Apparently the TBN knowledge base hasn't kicked in yet.

Yeah, that may be the next step. I just was trying to limit it to solvents, elbow grease and copper pads. Power tools raise the possibility of porcelain breakage.

The only advantage of a replacement tank would be it's clean. If I find a solvent that would work it should be quick. I don't need to spend $480 for planters, I could use it to buy tractor parts.

1. Four toilets, all put in about the same time and I suspect by the same person with the same methods. 2. It looked like a wad of black sealant. Like I've put on wood stoves.

I've a big toe I broke decades ago and gradually it formed a big bunion after I joined the Army. But after I joined and later was employed at the same place, the doctors all said it would be an operation that would lay me up for a few months. And my entire 37 year career I was on travel about...

Looks like the previous owner put gasket cement on the toilet to tank bolts on the inside of the Toto tank. I've 4 tanks to do. I don't want to chip the tank. Any recommended solvent that will take it off? I need to get a good seal on the connection.

Somehow I can't imagine driving either of my Kubota's and needing "sports like performance"

We've a system running on a 6K heat pump in northeast Mississippi. It's usually just the 2 of us for a few months then sometimes nobody is here. Occasionally a son & family will occupy it while we are gone. One of the problems is that it is set too high. I'm 6' 2" and it's convenient level...

That's become my procedure also. Seems almost every day something comes up to disrupt.

Talking of removable roofs. For my 18' Hudson trailer I put PT uprights in the stake pockets and 2x6 spaced up the side. 600321. The picture shows an early version. Which was used for transporting a lot of stuff from Va. to Ms. Had a DIY plywood top. But I got the major big items transported...

I'd humbly suggest you spend a little bit of time trying to start it. Prepare to tow, but who knows it might start with a few shots of WD40 (or ether) and a good battery source. It won't be cold in August :) If that doesn't pan out quickly can you rig an attachment for the tow chain to where...

Well it arrived today. The order was for 4 light bulbs that went above our range. Well they are light. But the bulbs were flat. I could hear the pieces of crushed glass in the NP5 padded mailing envelope. Time for a return.

Thanks!

Who did you complain to? I am currently waiting for a Fed Ex delivery scheduled yesterday. We were home all day, no package left. Fed Ex shows a door tag left at 3:27. No tag on my door. I've got two cameras on the drive, no activity.

My whole house surge protector is wired in to my breaker box.

I fully agree. But they fell short in the maintenance and quality control of their equipment.

Big difference. If you need to just work on YOUR side of the fence, AND you can cut the fence AND repair the fence, it seems your only option to DIY is drop the fence, cut the tree at the base and while putting force on it to drag it to your side, then dispose of it as you want.

And some self destroy. I rented a Uhaul tow dolly to bring a Honda Civic down to Mississippi with my F350 dually. All went well until I noticed the dolly was swaying, a wheel broke off and I was plowing the road in Alabama.

That's scary! Hope your wife is OK! Back in '83 my fiancee was in kitchen and lightning struck a mature red maple that was ~18' from a rear corner of my 2 story house in Alexandria, VA. Blew it up and pieces of tree and turf were thrown over the house into the front yard. So our marriage...

That describes my wife and I.

Especially with people you've already invested time with trying to convince them they were wrong. Then after you give up they'll come back maybe weeks later and tell you "yup, you are right".

And go back till you get to solid metal. That looks like the mower my relative sold me, "just a little rust" as they say in Mississippi. Repair required a welder. So I bought an Everlast 300 stick, for about $300.

I've a 2002 F350 diesel Dually, 7.3, currently on loan to one of my sons. Bought it with 115K, now approaching 200K. Got to replace the steering gearbox, gets 15mpg around town, 12 mpg when towing a 8K trailer to Mississippi. Really like it but it's too big for a daily driver in the DC area.

Well, about a year and half later still running fine. I did pipe the output through some PVC pipe I had lying around. Experimented on bending it with hot sand which worked fairly well. It was neat to ~ 3' of 1.5" PVC become like a thick soft rubber tube.

Always install a non-working camera or two in an area where it could be sacrificed bu monitored by working cams. On some you can turn the light off via software. For example on my Wyze cams:

That does not always work if your blood clots and fingernails. When I was about 15 my gloved forefinge got caught in a snowblower spinning blade. Broke the tip bur didn't cut the finger. Xray showed a clean break with a little separation. First doctor we went to drilled a small hole in the...

These "accident reports" fascinate me. Glad to read mike69940 is recovering for the next one. It's occurrences like this that slow me down. I'll go to do something I did 20 years ago then think twice "what may go wrong". Somebody should make a compilation of all the whoops we do.

That's why it is important to teach our young ones the basic manual ways of doing things. For example I tried to make sure all my children knew how to use a regular saw, both rip and crosscut, even though I rarely use either any more. I was also lucky enough to inherit a 5' manual crosscut saw...

Have you tried black snakes?

The right mushrooms can do that to you:)

Are you sure you didn't mean Field and Forest?

Story about mushrooms When I first started working at the Army Lab in 1975 there was a young researcher there who had been a refugee from Hungary. Now the lab is at Ft. Belvoir, Va. an ideal climate for mushrooms, and it had about 2 acres of well maintained lawn. He would pick mushrooms in...

Very interesting. I need to take the bed off on my F350 dually and replace the bed rails AND the fuel pump. This tool sounds like it will come in handy. NIce to read so many have few problems.

How much does he want for the B2601? What are his needs? The BX series is not designed for "rough" terrain, like wooded areas, it doesn't have the clearance.

I used to be EXTREMELY allergic to PI. Eventually I sort of gave up, I'd infect my self somewhere I could monitor it, like the top of my forearm. I'd take an early spring leaf, lightly rub it on (while wearing gloves) wash around it. It would fester up and itch for 2 weeks then generally I'd...

With no knowledge of your terrain this is one point that could be critical. In the Kubota series I view the BX's as lawnmowers on steroids. That's why I bought a B7610 to start with. At that time I did not know how many acres it would be used on, but I knew I would want to take it into the...

Please do!

Serves them right after "dieselgate".

Yeah, that has changed GREATLY. As long as starlink is going and LED's are produced off-grid seems not so bad. As long as you did not have to put down a deposit saying you were going to close by a certain time you should be OK. In our hunt for our Mississippi property we found one. it...

We had a bomb shelter growing up in Essex Center, Vt. in the mid '60's My Grandfather, Father, and I built a duplex which with a full basement which included a 10'x20' fallout shelter. Double thick concrete block walls with sand poured in the concrete block cores. Thankfully we never needed it...

Thought Moss had a sticky about corrupting names. And I agree it doesn't keep a vehicle from starting and running. But in many states it will fail an inspection. Luckily, or careful driving, I've avoided needing any body repair since my 1967VW needed repair in 1973. Have you tried other rust...

With the recent price increases on trucks I'm starting to wonder if my penchant for trying to get an F250 at (what I consider) a decent price is futile. Since my wife agreed we needed a new truck I had focused on Fords due to the no rust body in my rust prone environment (Mississippi). But with...

As I posted It also is looking like I may get a shortbed diesel truck, in addition to my venerable F350. So once again I'm looking into mounting one of the cubes (on a pallet?) so I can move it from vehicle to ground and back. For those of you who do that what do you use for fastening it down...

A lot of "Harry Homeowners" need just that type of vehicle occasionally. Easy to put a ladder rack on and carry several 2x4x?? or a few sheets of plywood, or a load of branches or even a ladder. And as far as "cash sales" - my last 4 vehicles, from about 2010 on, I found it cheaper to take a...

Aunts can be difficult to get out of the house.

Well when you consider that the minimum wage now in mid north west N.C, is $7.25 (based on linky ) and the minimum wage slightly further north in Virginia is $12.41 that's a difference of over $5/hr, or $10K/yr. For crossing a state line. And most of TV seems to be produced in Ca., where...

Yeah, their service. At least in the past. When I moved some stuff down from Virginia somehow I lost the box I had put the Lynch Pin Washers in. At that time (circa 2012) I don't think they offered them on their site. So I called them up. They mailed me ~ a half dozen immediately. I lost my...

To clarify: Can you hear a click from something engaging? Does it engage the starter at all? Does seem like a "safety" problem. On my B7610 I had a bad habit of bumping the forward/neutral/reverse lever just enough to set off a switch.

How much does trash like shown in you pics depress the property value? Seems it could be disposed of for several thousand dollars.

Outside porch lights may not cost that much. I know that every little bit counts, but with LED lights they may be using less than 1KW/day, (4 led bulbs@9 watts/bulb) In my area of Mississippi a Kwh only costs ~$0.112.

I went with a Piranha for both tractors. Drilling for the M4700 was a real pain. The bucket had double thick (seemingly hardened) steel where the holes had to go. Burned up several bits. And it should come in bright orange, to remind people of the hazard.

Which we have a lot of already

Sheep.

Condolences, I can not fathom the depth of your loss.

I've seen that also. Both the signs and people ignoring the signs.

YES! Back in 2022 Amazon had a great sale on Amazon Commercial Non-marring Knee Pads,3 pair for $6.25. I bought about 20 pair. Keep them in each vehicle, my trailer, each floor of each house. Nothing much worse than kneeling on rough hot asphalt to change a tire or having to do a plumbing job...

Still have to get down to ground level. For my shops I keep several of those ~18" magnetic bars for holding tools (that HF used to give away). Great for sweeping under stuff and finding screws etc.

What was the "mechanical adjustment"?

Yup YKYAO when you drop something and it rolls under a cabinet and you spend a minute planning your descent to your knees and your full recovery to vertical.

Well I've tried cooking hot dogs on my engine while driving, but thankfully I've never "grilled" a turkey.

Beginning to sound ideal for me, I might need two. I've the F350 diesel dually for the big chores, and towing my equipment trailer w/ my 50HP Kubota. But those activities only consume a few thousand miles a year. The rest of the time the little Slate would suffice.

Well tried again this morning and WU seems back to large window, but there are still differences. At least it has NOT taken me to the weather channel.

When I go to my bookmark I go to Local Weather Forecast, News and Conditions | Weather Underground. That gets me to: Then I try to go to the wundermap I get: So I log in and get this: Note it says the weather channel.

It's the way things are. I've 4 children, ages 30 to 40+. The first thing they do when they get into one of my cars is link their phones to my car radio and then use that for the tuner. Without a tuner in the car no thief is gong to break in to steal the radio.

I had been a dedicated WU user for probably a decade or so on my laptop.. Then today I log in and they've changed it over to the weather channel and with all the cr@p they put on the screen there is hardly space for the radar image. What are others using for free?

Well in for 1 reservation. I did the same thing maybe 5 years ago for a Tesla Cybertruck. That never panned out at the original price and specs. Reminds me of my 1968 Toyota HiLux. Cramped, bare, but did the job.

I was looking at getting a 10 liter. But a 15 liter is only $30 more. Any disadvantages of going too large?

Are you locked in? The area I'm in sold Natural Gas installation circa 2000, I paid ~400. They stopped about 1,000 yards from me last year. Their response "Sorry". I had bought ~$1,000 of stuff to hookup to the line.

And that's one of the places poster to this thread FAIL when responding with comments about bales. What the H E double toothpicks is the size/nominal weight? I've only a passing interest because I too And started spending about 6 years with lifting bales and tossing them on the wagon. Two main...

Yeah, my son called up telling me about the Ford Ranger Super Duty which includes a 3.0-liter turbo diesel V6 engine, heavy-duty axles, and a reinforced chassis. Just what I want to supplement my F350 dually w/ 8' bed. But only in Australia :(

That had been a deal breaker for me for decades. The closest HF to me, in either Mississippi or Northern Va. was about an hour away, thus requiring about 2 hours plus browse time. A LOT of deals I passed up. I might have visited each maybe twice a year. Recently one opened up about 3 miles...

Buppies - Prayers for Holly and you. Remember the good times.

In that case I'd just monitor it and park it so drips don't cause a problem.

Can you determine the rate of fluid loss? How much per hour operating/non-operating?

Tell us where you are, get a dealer quote, see if one of us could do better. I need a tractor that size but judging by the snow on the ground you are too far away.

I'll second a vote for a battery saw of similar size. I own two 180's. Nice easy start saws but not very powerful. I also own two 660's. They have seemed to put on a lot of weight in the last 5 years.

Understandable, surprised and thankful you posted at all. Prayers for you and all your loved ones.

Try to google it with: "Typhon Terror" site followed by h-t-t-p-s://www.tractorbynet.com/ but leave out the dashes. (if I just put in the URL the software changes it to TractorByNet - Tractor Forum)

A little west of Red Bay.

Cell phone w/battery backup, with a pdf loaded of the workshop manuals and hotspot if you've got it for wireless. Plenty of extra rope of varying thicknesses. I usually carry a tarp. And either a small chainsaw or a bow saw, in addition to my knives. If it's in the Huntsville area it looks...

What's a "senior"? Been that way all my life. Good trick, changing the lighting will also change the shadows, sometimes making things seem to stick out. I used to be that way with free HF tape measures. I've about 8 major places, plus several vehicles where I'd try to keep a working tape...

An Uncle (who has passed away, RIP) was a great dentist, but with Banana Fingers. One of his daughters became a great dentist, has her own practice and about 6 petite females working for her. ALL with small fingers. It is such a relief to have a dentist with small fingers.

From my point of view (retired, govt pension, 2 tractors) I'm darn glad I bought Kubotas that don't seem to need many parts. How long does it take to build a tractor? How long does it take to build a tractor plant? I'll be surprised if any manufacturer invests in building a new tractor plant...

Looks like a good little tool. Buy before tariff jacks prices.

You need an "emergency overflow". How important is it to get across the stream? And what is the flooding like? Do you need to be able to rescue someone on the other side? Or can it wait a few days or weeks? The soil pictured has a lot of "fines", these settle in slow water. And clog culverts...

Please note the tractor muffler in the pic, so it's tractor related :)

I've got an RV shed with about a 12x14 sectional garage door on tracks. When I bought the place ~ 12 years ago it was manual. No helper springs or motors. For all these years I've just lifted it up and put a 9' piece of 1x6 to hold it up. I'd spray the rollers with garage door lube when it...
