I would say youre very lucky if that’s all they give opinion vs fact on. Every time I hear the news now it’s less fact based.

you don’t have a hydraulic shop that can resurface the rods?

Uhhuh and they have an unresolved waste stream. US Navy says it met Idaho deadline on spent nuclear fuel | AP News Of course, Russia is no better off..Russia’s ‘slow-motion Chernobyl’ at sea. PNNL (Pacific Northwest National Labs) and INL (Idaho National Labs) are working on efforts to...

what kind of coupler is inside the housing? What advantage does this setup vs a pump with a pto drive offer (prince lists this pump at 41 lbs.) ? Thanks for the pics dennis103.

Yep, lots of dirt moving tasks indoors. How many large scale projects can you point us to where the residents remained while the building was rehabbed?

Right around the corner….https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2021/08/11/infrastructure-package-includes-vehicle-mileage-tax-program/?sh=1dace34131c6

I haven’t seen any publications on long term disposal or decommissioning. IMHO, the politicians are so gung-ho to move to sun power that they are neglecting the inevitable. Notice here the key term “may be more difficult” https://www.epa.gov/hw/solar-panel-recycling

Good, I’m not a believer in burying stuff to make it go away. For your trash problem, for the little stuff, I would try renting a skid steer and a rock hound/landscape rake/soil prepper. another option could be a bucket like this

Just because; https://www.gasequipment.com/pdfs/P_4_PipingAndTubingPoster.pdf Gas code is written by the NFPA and adopted into various local building code. The parts of the code that may apply to this situation are 37, 54 and 58

:ROFLMAO:

This is where a huge part of the problem lies….get rid of coal, go natural gas..wait, no natural gas we need wind and solar, wait we have too many users and brown/black outs are a certainty. Let’s go back to nuclear, uhoh no place to store waste. Hydro, thats the ticket…uhoh nobody left to check...

Have anyone seen any real specs posted for this loader?

4 hours of run time and integrates cutting edge software….:cautious: And since it doesnt have traditional hydraulics, none of your old attachments will be compatible. Yay

we lost power Jan 3 @ 0815, still off. last night, received a text from the coop saying power should be restored @ 2100 on 1/06. Shortly after, got another text saying power has been restored. Then another that power will be restored @ 2100 on 1/06. Bad enough the power is down, quit screwing...

Maybe you should pitch that one to the Nintendo or Xbox people first. My wife doesnt appreciate playing catch in the barn.:rolleyes:

”fresh manure” and other organics need to be composted before use as a growing medium. https://www.finegardening.com/project-guides/gardening-basics/fertilizing-the-old-fashioned-way-with-manure

Own the road or have a ROW maintenance agreement? Either way, you and the neighbors have condoned this as an acceptable use. Go chat with the neighbor and see what can be done to resolve it. As for the wheel well complaint, you may want to skip that, doubt the farmer will really care. Guess what...

I ordered a kit for my home tank but haven’t installed it yet. How much vapor escapes when you swap the tank fittings?

Is this a fuel source for the engine or appliances (stove, heater, bbq)?

Cant help but think you would be better off removing the lift arms and dabbing up a “mount” to make the plow like the 3rd pic. Even though the lift arms are substantial, I got a bad feeling they wil end up pretzel shaped.

I dont see where there will be that much change. How many times have you gone into I a store only to hear. “Sorry about that, we dont have any. We can order it for you to pick up .” Why does any retail store think that is an acceptable solution? Downsizing inventory and only ordering the “stuff”...

:ROFLMAO:

All drivers, as in everyone using any type of public road.

(y) The people wanted to get rid of trains in favor of trucks. The auto makers wanted to get rid of trains and busses to sell more cars. Now, quite a few must think the shelves get restocked by magic. :rolleyes: How many boxes can you get in a Uber?

If only all drivers had to undergo UA or even medical review. There’s nothing to prevent Joe/Sally citizen from popping pills, smoking weed, doing w/e and getting behind the wheel.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Something I’ve been noodling through to add-on is a bulk hopper just foe convenience (laziness ?) https://www.woodpellets.com/bulk-wood-pellets/automatic-feed-storage.aspx

I was thinking that also. Didn’t (maybe still do) NJ have laws prohibiting self serve fuel because of A right to work? But again, why bother if the consumer accepts whatever scraps you throw?

Nice catch, but normally no. My favorite fuel stop still has someone to fuel vehicles, check air and oil.

That doesnt explain what happened to the 2021 models.

I refuse to use them and have at least 3 issues 1) no employee needed 2) there are certain segments of our society that rely on these types of jobs. 3 come to mind; There are seniors that can use a little extra in their check, there are the never went to college or trade school and the disabled...

Haney?

It is not a ridiculous statement, it was a question. If you weren’t so defensive, you may have noticed that. We get DEF in 55 gallon drums from my local fuel distributor for $175. Sometimes the low baller isnt really a deal.

Have you all started a recall of your commissioners?

I’m considering other options now. LS couldn’t/wouldnt make the MT3 series cab tractors available because “they couldn’t get tires for them”. For some reason now, there aren’t any 2021 MT3 cabs but there are 2022 models popping up. WTH?

BTW, consumer packaging on the 2.5 DEF jugs blows. How are any of you recycling the little boxes/jugs that DEF comes in?

But yet you shop at walmart where made in china and self-checkouts reign?

People like telling other people what they have to do and how to live. :unsure:

The metavic website suggests tractor sizes for their loaders Or am I missing something here? https://metavic.com/en/log-loaders/1400-1600-series/

Why only use the wood stove when you are home? If you aren’t buying firewood, I would use the wood stove instead of the electric radiators.

Isnt this what the new regime wants? Share the wealth amongst all? Shouldnt you be happy to just order up a replacement and not be sad someone has benefitted from your misfortune? My neighbors and I aren’t afraid to approach “strangers” in the area and offer them assistance and direction on how...

For the most part, people like living close to each other. I spent a lot of years flying and it never ceased to amaze me how there is miles of nothingness and then bam, there’s houses, row houses, apartment buildings, bigger buildings and lots of people. People like telling other people what...

:ROFLMAO:

What attachment are you upgrading the machine for? A gehl 6635 would not be a great choice for a mulcher head, cold planer on the other hand. 1/2” for sf and 3/4” for hf

We have the same at our local branch. I quit trying and just order from other places like mcmaster

The big box stores have redefined retail management. Most of them defer any issues to the store management and the store management blames corporate. In-store is not responsible for most things because they blame the “vendor” . Rather pitiful that the customer is the problem in their view. Self...

Spotsylvania plant? Ive wondered if Walker (Rte 3 and 301) gets their stock from Luck.

Close, the mower is actually mounted on two hinges (pins) to allow it to float (a little) on the rear roller. I may need to add something like snow plow shoes or front rollers to augment, we”ll see

Welded tabs to a frame uprights, then bolted a piece of channel to the tabs, motor is a 2 bolt a and the motor mount is bolted to the channel. Relief valve bracket has 2 bolts. By removing 4 bolts (relief and channel) I can be back to regular pto shaft. I used a 6 spline pto shaft motor, 6...

Like the computer chips that are keeping them off the roads? 😂

Liked my import flail so much that I finally finished modding it to fit on the front of my skidsteer. Now if only I had a telescopic boom to reach farther under ,,,,,

That might be a good option. Havent seen one of those around here.

Exactly what I see with some of our customers. Not everyone has or wants the ability to move bigger and store more. Storage is a problem for everyone and pricing becomes part of the challenge. If I sell you 1100 sm squares at say $4 off the field, what then becomes a fair price for me to haul...

Horse people still love small squares. They are kinda pain in the rear market that only wants 20-40 at a time too. Nice thing is they are willing to pay for the inconvenience. We took on a new lesson barn and she contracted for 2500 small squares. No labor with or without covid so I gotta do...

Who is using what kind and how well do you like it? Started baling some smaller places that the kicker and trailer arent the easiest to use with.

I would think a JD 644 wheel loader or Cat 325 excavator would be more appropriate.

This is something I would not have thought to check. Hard? I think it would become a monumental task aligning the splines.

29.5 vs. 35.5 sticker prices

You mean with the engine running? Doesnt the pto have neutral with the engine off?

Time to get something new for the farm and LS is an attractive machine and price. Dealer has a XR4150 and MT352 available Both with hydrostatic and cab. I like the looks and visibility on the XR a little better, but didn’t LS drop the XR line in favor of the MT?

So while you own the unit, who owns the actual, building(s)?

Weight determines the class of license. Use determines the type. Hauling your equipment or goods for your own personal use is onee thing. Hauling for money or prizes is where the commercial part comes into play.

Size has nothing to do with the requirements for a CDL.

Two other options you might consider are a shed mover/mule and walk behind skid steer (dingo, bobcat MT 55, etc) https://www.thetrailershoppe.com/product/ez-mover-turbo-shed-mover

If we‘re going to get sentimental, want me to dig out my DAP-16 or ELAN programming books? ;)

Prescription drugs and driving aren’t always a good combination. Big part of the problem, people like to make it my problem. Whether it be booze, pills, smoking or injecting. They get high and decide they need to drive (or go) somewhere else. So its rarely on their own time, they almost always...

You think going ut to eat is the big problem? Ha....The plants that process the food going on the store shelves is slowing way down too. The free handouts and Covid crazy stuff has crippled our nation.

Probably a local terminology thing. We use milled (right off the road) has bigger chunks for base and reground (seconds) has been passed through the grinder a second time. Seconds contain small aggregate and fines. Some of the guys here are laying out with a paver and rolling em in. Right now...

A class 8 truck is a tad overkill for quite a few of our customers. Progress is driving the livestock people to downsize or quit.

And the EV panels are really good for the landfills.. But, with more tax dollars applied, that too can be changed. Would be nice if you all would fix things without planning on using ”our” money...

How many hay bales do you think you can deliver with a Tesla (etc.)

Lumber and plastics are going up again. Local roofing tin will increase 50 cents a foot because there is a ”paint shortage” at the supplier end. Groceries are trickling up and up. Few people realize what a “small” change in fuel prices cause. The parking lots and roads are littered with...

Most dealerships around here offer road service and/or p/u and delivery. A tractor that size would be easy to get the local rollback service to move also. 7 or 8k could pay for a couple of trips.

Mecalac has a skidsteer/excavator combo in the market now that is gonna be hard to beat for multipurpose uses. https://www.mecalac.com/en/machine/6mcr.html

Just catching back up after being gone awhile. FIFY, SO just got a 2020 RAM 3500 and now I gots no money :drink:

Hopefully picture works this time.

I didnt build a roller, but its kinda close :) This was a 16" piece of sch. 80 pipe. It is now my new pasture aerator (yes I can fill with water, if needed) I cut out the end plates then found center and mounted my stub axles. The bearings are frame mounted using the same spacing off of the...

Anyone here using biosolids on their fields? The treatment plant nearby is offering biosolids and a few guys are taking all they can get because its free. If by liquid it gets sprayed on and the field has to then be tilled or you can get dried solids to topically apply. We tried chicken litter...

Its time to repair a couple of trailer lighting issues. One of the issues is a broken plug on the tow vehicle side. The 7 blade rv style seems to be the most universal. I like the proplug and really like the ez connector setup. I was hoping the people at redarc would have come up with something...

The new trial and error problem, how do you cope with employees that now can get �edical marijuana cards. We have a zero tolerance policy in place, but not sure how much longer that will be enforceable. Read an interesting article today on the topic, what are your thoughts/opinions. Letting...

Thoughts on Volvos push into the electric world? Li-ion batteries only last 8 hours, wonder what it would take to recharge on-site. Volvo CE unveils 1 percent electric compact excavator prototype : Volvo Construction Equipment Volvo CE unveils electric compact wheel loader concept

Morris allegedly yelled "run, fat (expletive)!" as he chased after the man. :laughing: 911 CALLS: Florida man chases neighbor with tractor over property dispute | abc13.com I've been in the unneighborly neighbor situation once or twice. Never thought about running em down though. :p

It's not the length of the shaft but the angle of the joints. If you raise or lower the 3 point too much the ujoints will come into contact and create noise/issues. (Highlighted in attached drawing)

Not really, that's what a ford wrench was used for.

If you build one like this, it could be done with a qa plate for the front, pallet forks to also use as a lifting basket, pvc pipe add-on like moss suggested, etc. etc... one of these (cheaper) or theirs can just be bought...

Well that is not the case here. Hopefully, you get to rely on gravity for your needs (or eat more wheaties :) ). Notice in the picture that the hoses are disconnected. The cylinders were fully extended. There is 5+ inches of play at the tips. Pivot points need some attention :thumbdown:. For...

Once upon a time, there was some discussion here about adding hydraulic capability on the 770/790's and I can't find what I'm looking for. How do I add more valves to this tractor? Is there a PB plug/sleeve that can be added to the existing loader valve? Anyone have pictures, directions, part...
