What did you buy this week?

[Runner]

Receiver hitch mounted electric fertilizer spreader. Got tired of nursing the old tow-behind unit along so decided to try an electric one for a change. I presume the electric motor will be the weak point, but not sure. Hopefully I can get a few years out of it.

This is going on the back of a lawn tractor.

I bought a 18,000lb 2012 Wacker Neuson excavator. 69HP Yanmar. AC still works! No emissions!

And immediately started digging rocks out of farm fields I have been haying around for decades.

I need to repack the three dipper cylinders, but the rest of the machine is dry. It’s got 2 aux hydraulic lines and a return line. She’s got 3,200 hours….didn’t have to give much to buy it.
Need to find a Werk Brau hydraulic thumb…..
Can’t imagine the uses for this thing.
I’m finally an excavator owner.

That is awesome, and it even has the mount for a hydraulic thumb, and you already have a model picked out. That machine was a score for sure.

Today was Christmas!!!
It actually was a joke ordering a chainsaw from Walmart, obviously from Chy-nah and it came with cheap tools and a fuel mix bottle, but the joke was on me. I mixed 20:1 this time (new motor) but next 25:1. It started 3rd pull and I cut a few 18"-24" diameter trees and I was impressed especially for $130.
If nothing else good to carry for a back up saw.
I had a $600 Stihl MS291 that gave me so much trouble I gave it away for free. So far this works better that that lemon.

Oh...free 2 day shipping.

Oh...free 2 day shipping.

That looks like a Husky 365 Clone. If it is, the performance should be Good.

I am so far behind on projects still have not assembled the Farmertec 91cc Stihl MS 660 clone


Hard to believe they can be sold with a bar/chain and assembled for that.

Darn it Fuddy!

I always wanted a Husky in that size. I just ordered it. we have lots of dead pine to buck up.

Should make a great mid sized saw between my Husky 350's the Promac 70cc and the to be built 660 big boy copy.

GL with the new saw Fuddy
Every 10 -15 yrs I buy a name brand saw that somebody can't use on eBay of CL. Current 16" Echo runs like a champ.
I bought a new Stihl when I was a kid. The price nearly choked me and then it was stolen... I never really wanted to pay full pop again.

A pair of 36” hydraulic replacement hoses from Rural King and a couple of similar adapter fittings from a local hydraulic supply place to replace the original hoses on my Yanmar SA series grapple. Put everything together and the grapple is functional again.

My fault for damaging the original hoses. Was worn out late one evening and disconnected the grapple mechanically, but failed to disconnect hoses. Started moving tractor gently backwards until the hoses tugged on the grapple. No leaks etc., but could see where the original hoses were tweaked close to the fittings. A total of @$50 and all is well.

Will cover the replacement hoses with the original protective sleeves for added protection.

Finally got all the parts needed for adding a filter, temperature and pressure gauges to the mini ex’s hydraulic system. Two hoses and fittings was $180 to have made up by Parker . I’m happy with the results and piece of mind.

New pipe for my Husky 562. Can’t wait to try it!
