:banghead: That wind turbine produces drag. That drag has to be overcome. That drag has to be overcome by using more electricity from the battery. In a perfect (non-existent) world, where systems are 100% efficient, the most electricity you could generate from a wind turbine would be...

Ingenuity! That's country! :D

Well, ain't that special! I'm building a hoop house to shelter my tractor, and I do plan to post pics of that when it's done, but today was special. I'm trying to do this on the cheap, so I bought a re-cycled billboard vinyl to act as the cover for it. It needed grommets added along the...

I have a 10+ year old Speeco 35 ton log splitter that is leaking badly from the front seal on the 5x24" cylinder. I've never messed with repairing hydraulic systems before, so my knowledge level is pretty low on this. I can't see any obvious way to remove.... anything on this beast (other than...

Weather has been normal lately, meaning cold. Today it's about 40 outside, and my compressor is struggling. Slow to start up, and gains some speed as it runs, but still not running as fast as it should. I shut it down so I don't burn up the motor. This is an old Sanborn 2 cylinder 5 horse...

BX25D. Died, restarted, then died when parked and will not restart. The battery is good (I keep my charger on it while testing) and the motor spins over normally. Fuel flow to injector pump is good. Plenty of flow. Verified by removing hose after the second filter and watching it while...

I've got a no-start condition. Fires a cylinder or two occasionally. Battery is good. I have verified that I have good fuel flow to the injection pump. I'm getting 11.5 volts at the GP bar when the GPs are engaged, which seems a bit low, but I'm not sure. I did that test with a charger...

Well, it's time to replace the chimney parts on my woodstove, from the ceiling collar up. It's single wall below that, which is easy to find. Looking for a recommendation for a web site which provides some decent information as well as reasonable prices. Doesn't have to be the cheapest - I'll...

Yesterday my BX25 lost power while my son was carrying a load of gravel in the bucket. He dumped the load and limped it up near the house to check it out. It would barely move. We replaced the fuel filter, but that has not helped. He attempted to follow the bleeding procedure, but it died...

How about 105 gallons of #2 off-road diesel? For free. :D My favorite price! I answered a Craigslist add for a free heating oil tank. I want the tank for the steel, for a fabbing project. Turned out to have about 100 gallons of nice clean heating oil in it. :cool: The filter was still...

Yeah, I just got it and I'm already trying to break it. :D I have the 12" bucket on it, but I'm working on a drainage project and I need to dig an 18" trench 18" deep. Is there an 18" bucket available for the BX25? And will it handle it without beating the backhoe to death, digging in mostly...

Hi, folks. A very happy new owner of a Kubota BX25D, which is digging a french drain trench as I type. I have older teen sons who seem to enjoy running it. They've got more time in the saddle than I do so far! :laughing: Bought it used, and it's in showroom condition. It's really getting...
