    @plastikosmd - I've installed a few different versions of timers / remotes for my brothers shop - Both used 2-pole 240V 40 Amp Contactors with 120v coils (similar to this Contactor). Then for the timer circuit I just used a 120v 2hr - 12hr push button timer (similar to this Timer) to...

    Land plane for grading lumpy land (not a driveway)

    Landplane for your stone driveway IMO is the way to go... For your yard, all I can say is I have used ours on a few places we cleared & it worked but by no means was it a lawn worthy finish... I would look at renting a Harley Rake or Power Rake for the yard... (still would get a land plane...

    I use snap traps also, they are cheap & reusable... but as @kenmbz stated they are a one & done if your not checking them daily (or more often). There are times I'm away from the garage & outbuildings for days do to work (or life) & the bucket traps just keep working.

    TC45DA Electric Two Speed

    You can just check to see if you have 12 volt on the 2 bullet connectors when you switch it to the HI position... If you do not have 12 volts in the HI position I would then check the fuse (I think it is a 7.5 amp) if the fuse is good I would test the relay next.
