looks like attachment point is tilted back there based on the picture

If you want to cu You are going to need 50-60HP to do a 6' cut of grass for hay. Mulcher is going to need more - most commercial mulcher operators run closer to 20HP per cut foot (ie 8' cut needs 160-200HP) However a lot depends on what you are cutting. You will struggle if its much...

Mahindra also made some MF TYM arent that bad - value for money. Anything from China will be slow with parts - more luck with Taiwan (& generally better quality)

The breakaway battery does not provided any braking capability under normal operation. Looks like 2 issues. a. the break away battery is not getting charged from the tow vehicle. It normally gets charged either from a dedicated cct from the tow vehicle, or off of the clearance lamp cct from the...

Based on the specs (of the leads) (115 V, 15 A) What you really need to know is the distance from the mains supply point, all the way so the welder, and keep voltage drop to under 3V at full welder load on the mains (15A). From there you can calc the required MIN cable size (assuming nothing...

"150 acres is already a huge farm to manage" Its just the home paddock size, unless your growing vege's or strawberrys of the like.

Depending the tree size, D6 with tree pusher, stick rake & rippers Anything else is going to take a lot longer.

Correct - dampens the back emf from the collapsing magnetic field with power is removed from the windings. otherwise there could easily be 2 times the voltage present - electronics dont like that and the 'smoke gets out'

how about a heavy duty loader with rippers (articulated type)? That and a D8 was successful in downing a lot of mallee on my old mans back block when I was a kid. Heavy duty chain & 3T ballast stopped it riding up. What you cant rip out you can dig out. It would have heavier duty tyres than...

25HP does not have the weight or power to effectively dig out the rocks (which will be an ongoing issue). You will need something 60HP and 3T or more unless you want to be working the area continuously in narrow rows. Plough it with discs or stump jump plough loaded with a lot of weight -...

Interesting reading, but several things come to note: a. many blades are attached too far away from the lifting arms (leverage) b. most of the blades shown here are too lightly constructed (maybe to accommodate a tiny tractor) c. no lateral support if the blade grabs something with a bit of...
