Eric, how are you adjusting hydro top link length? Are you using float and push/pull easily? I know kind of dumb question, but I see bloody knuckles in my future if I struggle. I always say if your gonna be dumb u gotta be tough. Unfortunately my dumb exceeds my tough often.

Hoping to get compost bin design ideas for my homestead. Have some chickens, goats and a guard donkey. Deep mulching chicken coop so no rush there but the donkey is a manure factory and I want to set up a 3 bin system that I can load, turn and unload with my front end loader. Was thinking...

After reading a lot about flails on this site I bought an fmc sidewinder 6 foot flail mower from an online auction for $200. Lubed Avery thing and got it working but it is missing some hangers and blades. I have looked (google did looking) all over internet and can find any parts for this...
