    Set your hydraulic pressure at 3,000 Psig, Load your tires. You should be able to lift 2 tons mid height, more at pins if using ssqa with forks.

    I hope I can prevent this from happening to other operators.

    If hardware has a problem after 2 years, there is option to remove.

    I got my original hardware back that was removed and replaced with the Superduty stuff. I wonder if these items can be resold to third world regions in need of medical implants? New hardware is providing more stability. Now only hope the crunched Tibia begins to mend.

    I underwent a third operation on my poorly healing bones. Hopefully this much hardware will allow what bones remaining to fuse. My leg is now more stable but traumatized after being opened up again. Before this 4th hospitalization, I hoisted myself on my Mahindra Max28 to move two of seven...

    Re: Kubota1100C. What tire size fitment on stock 12 x 8 rim?

    I like the tread pattern on the GBC Powersports Mongrel - 26X10.00R12 10-Ply Rated ATV/UTV Tire - Samsclub.com tires and the fact they are 10 ply. Sam's club seems to be best price. Would have liked 27" tires, but beggars can't be chosey. Wife questioned why we need the 1100C cab, but now she...

    Regret not getting a backhoe for my tractor

    I could heat my home in winter. Regarding a backhoe, a 5 ton or larger excavator can do some satisfying real work.

    The last few years of my dad's life he got great assistance from the VA. When visiting the VA, my heart went out for all the wounded an damaged Vets who had their lives destroyed by the useless wars we have engaged. So sad to see, as this made me a real pacifist. My injuries are nothing.

    Being out of commission and being dependent on others gives me a great appreciation of how life is so precious and the freedom, independence, and productivity being healthy allows. Sounds like you are on the mend also

    Well I walked about 10' using a cane a few times today finally after more than 8 week since I messed myself up. I called my surgeon's office today and requested an order for PT. Both my wife and I will go together. She wants to get back on a horse, me an iron horse.

    Clot is showing first signs of subsiding. Yeah! Darn, that thing hurts. Supposedly I can get back on two baby aspirin a day after 3 months. I also have a PFO in my heart. I had a stroke back in 2019, and two TIAs in 2022. Hopefully I am all fixed now. Stepson cutting firewood. Sure wish I...

    Slept 21 hours of the last 24, getting a bit better each day now. This week I hope to take first steps without a walker. I still have 6 weeks to the trip. If anyone is feeling sorry for themselves, give this a watch. Braxton McCoy: Iraq, Opioids, and Defending US Land...
