    Making gas cans great again

    Lifting a 5 gallon can full of fuel, to the top of the hood, SUCKS! I spill a cup or so every time, no matter how much care I give. New tractor has behind seat, easy, peasy. I bought two sets of can modifications. Never had an issue with vent, it was tough pushing in, but never a leak. The kits...

    Breaking in new utv motor

    Yeah, I've read about heat cycling etc. My boss, some 40 years ago at car dealership, would drive his brand new demo hard, very hard. there was always a relative willing to buy, and no engine trouble. I may be overthinking this, as I tend to do. Video shows loss of 2 - 10% power if seated the...

    Breaking in new utv motor

    So, I went against the salesman who said a 600cc motor was plenty to plow with. Ended up with CF Moto Uforce 1000. There are 2 different schools of though on breaking in a motor. One, drive it like you stole it. I've seen the video and it makes sense. Break In Secrets--How To Break In New...

    I know it's cheaper, was wondering if buying 55 gals at a time gets discounted.

    Shooting back stop?

    I feel your simple design is great. Simple, effective and in a designated area.

    How to sell a car you want off road only?

    I think your heart is in the right place. However, you can't fix/save stupid. The buyer that is... i guess you could write the ad to say, not roadworthy, if you are trying to CYA. save a copy of that.

    I'm also buying ORD. I didn't think 55 gallons would warrant a discount at the pump.

    On Site Fuel

    Just a homeowner maintaining 10 (soon to be 50) acres. Brush hogging 15 acres, flail mowing same, several times a year. I don't use enough for quantity, and lowest price around is 7 minute drive. I keep 2- 5 gal containers for tractor and torpedo heat in garage during winter. I always wondered...

    CF Moto UForce 600

    Does anyone have the 600 model and plow with it? I've read reviews, mostly positive, and am seriously looking at CF Moto. The price, and reviews make it right for us. Up until now, I was looking at the UForce 1000. Dealer says the 600 is plenty capable to use for plowing my driveway. I never...

    Ideas to patch a cracked seat?

    Not on tractor, but on snowmobile I bought a seat repair tape online. Very strong, and it lasted even with all the body english I use when I ride. Imagine on a tractor seat, it would last years...

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    When we had solar, we had an induction range. I found it superior to gas in everyway.

    What did you use for end caps? Looking to make one for mine. I like the idea of flush caps so it can be pulled from either side.

    Anyone live near a solar Farm?

    I feel we need diverse sources of power. There are pros and cons to each, and diversity helps create a constant flow of energy given different challenges that each may encounter. i.e. if Mount Saint Helen blows up again, solar will be greatly reduced, same as NG and oil when some wacko decides...

    Anyone live near a windfarm?

    I have 14 visible from my home, guessing under a mile as the crow flies, due west. They don't bother us, nor any guests. I also don't mind the lights at night. Actually find it relaxing, lost in mindless though, staring at them at night. We are on a ridge, as are they. Always breezy here...
