Nobody has bothered to try to understand what these taxes are about. It's about people with tons of $$ coming into places and buying up everything and anything. It drives prices through the roof, depletes any inventory of properties, and makes living there unaffordable for long term residents...

I think this all comes down to whether the truck use qualifies as "commercial" as defined by CT and US DOT. I don't know, but have been led to believe that it's whether you are carrying goods for hire, or goods for sale. If you are just moving your stuff, e.g. lawn mowing equipment, excavator...

I hate to say it, but a flail is only suitable for grasses and light brush. Been there and made that mistake. A fixed tooth muchir is what you need.

I'm a big fan of snow blowers, but it very much depends on your situation. They remove snow more slowly than a plow, but they do a better job and they really get the snow out of the way rather than just creating huge piles that fall back into the space you are trying to clear. A couple of...

Amazing that there are so many examples showing this incorrectly. Wikipedia has a good article, including references to the ISO and SAE standards. SAE has boom on the left stick, dipper on the right stick. ISO has dipper on the left stick, and boom on the right stick.

I've got a 275 gal bulk tank with 120VAC electric pump. Anything that's near the barn gets filled from that tank. The I later added a 36 gal Tractor Supply tank & 12VDC transfer pump that I keep strapped in the back of my side by side. That's how I refuel equipment that's away from the barn...

What does this do that the standard rear diff lock doesn't do?

I'd second taking the ferry system. Most of the SE Alaska towns aren't accessible by road - I think only Skagway and Haines. And of course all the coastline and inside waterways are only accessible by water. On a cruise ship you will see a few scripted sights, but you won't really see Alaska...

How do you clear trees in those situations.

Correct, and with those same safety factors the soft shackle is still as strong or stronger.

A lien doesn't make one an owner. The owner owns the tractor, and the lender has a lien which gives them certain rights, including a right to repossess and take ownership. The owner is the one on the hook to repay the loan. Otherwise he's in default, the tractor will be repossessed, and he...

Is the tractor insured, or not? We still don't have a straight answer on that. If insured, sorting all this out is up to the insurance company, but you need to file a claim.

BTW, this is the same stuff used for the lines on tub boats with 100 Ton or more bollard pull.

I'm curious why? Is it concern over the strength? I admit that it takes some getting used how strong they are. Just looking that them you would think "no way". But they are generally SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER that similarly sized chain or steel shackles. Just by way of example, 1/2" G43 chain...

I use them extensively on a big boat for anchoring, and on the farm for lifting and general use. They are outstanding in all ways. Soft so they don't mar anything, and incredibly strong. And flexible to you can get them around almost anything. I just used 5/16" line soft shackles to lift...
