What if NG supplies start to run low? Will they shutter power plants or will they cut NG from the public? If the public can't use gas, will they go back to coal? I just wonder what the long term plan is. :unsure:

I think we should utilize all types of power creation. If coal is nearby and it is VERY economical to use, burn coal. Windy areas should use wind and sunny areas should use solar. If a logging mill is near, burn biomass.

I would rather have a windmill near me than a data center. If we had less data centers, we could get by with less power plants, windmills, and solar farms.

Quote from a landowner in posted article: “People are also surprised at how quiet the turbines are,” Anderson said. “Some family members still live in our homestead only 2,000 feet from the turbines, and they don’t have any problems with noise or anything else." Here are the specs on the...

Mice liked the area behind the gauge cluster on my TC33D. They never chewed wires (lucky) yet but they did stink. I scrubbed the area with pine-sol and tied Fresh-Cab anti mouse packets to the wires back there. I never had another problem.

Yes, I would make an attempt to have the pto shaft straight/level as possible. If that is not possible, it is best to have the front and rear u-joints at the same angle. If the front u-joint is at 5 deg, try to have the rear u-joint at 5 deg too.

A faster tractor? Some of these bears can move pretty fast.

Instead of a complete molded tire, it looks like they bolt on tread segments to the wheel. Interesting, but heavy. Bobcat Toolcat Tires - EWRS-TC Series High-Performance - Evolution Wheel

In a few years we will be wishing we could have bills this low. It is only going to get worse.

Being that the fronts are much smaller, they make many more rotations per mile. They also scrub on turns and wear, especially on pavement.

Being that you needed to sand and you have a steep drive, I'm thinking you will need chains. (R14 and chains)
