D Door is 12’ X 15’ I hate struggling to get in and out of a building.

Has anyone used the front end loader hydraulic connections to run the offset flail mower? I would need another 4 feet of line and a 180 degree redirect to do it. Support the lines in a way they do not get damaged is a concern too. I have 1 outlet on the rear of the tractor now. Offset flail...

I am finishing a SteelMaster Quonset. They said I was out of warrant so a missing piece was going to be another $126. I bent one myself to finish the job. The sent plenty of bolts. Seem knowledgeable, however the price they wanted for the baseplate was crazy high, like 6k. I designed and built...

I had some things go badly with less than 500 hours. The engine light comes on as the Emissions becomes loaded down with carbon on the EGR valve. I replaced the valve at a cost of $826.39, the starter went bad, another $700, the clutch went $3150. I would not say it is cheap to keep it up. The...

I have a 2” receiver on my quick release loader platform. The maneuverability is first rate for the very tight back in job.

The Xframe is stronger for snow weight. I would not recommend elderly persons do this. The height and weight is a component of concern. I built my own baseplate. I found it very helpful for assembly. I would have bought the baseplate if it were 3k or less. The X frame was more like 7k for 48’...

I had a gel mat battery go dead this summer for my RV. I hooked another 12 volt battery to the discharged one and it slow charged to life. The buffer action allowed it to accept the charging. I could not get the Gel Mat to accept power directly from a battery charger.

I am in the process of setting panels now. This what I am using to lift the center section of 3 .

I have been reading about the huge losses Ford is taking on the Lightening. I have not seen a coherent plan for battery recycling and where is the electricity going to be generated? Big problems that do not have a good solution. Fuel cell is interesting but the production of it needs...

The ride good, good pickup and nicely appointed. If charging would have not been such a problem we would call it a win. The additional charges incurred for fuel that were not delivered with horrible wait times made it a bitter experience.

We rented a Polestar 2 from MCO ( Orlando) and had qui a problem doing a charge. We drove to Lakeland, 60 miles and it took 22% of the battery. I then spent 12+ hours at a ChargePoint station in Lakeland to gain 52% battery capacity. The charge rate and availability of charge stations is not...

I am doing a Quonset and found the cost of cement staggering. I paid $225 / yard in MI. That was a Saturday delivery so it was more. Getting a cement company is a good move. It was 90 and we were unable to finish the cement quick enough. We kept adding water and had visqueen under it but it was...

I am having the clutch replaced on my Mahindra 2565 for 3K. I think my grandkids have been riding the clutch. I am gone from home a lot and they keep the place snowplowed and mowed. I hope to correct the clutch riding.
