No, every 50 hours on the meter. 50 1/10 on meter = 50 hours and 6 minutes. 500 1/10 on meter = 500 hours and 6 minutes. 127 7/10 on meter = 127 hours and 42 minutes. As turnip stated, 1/10 of an hour is 6 minutes. Just take the first hour number on the meter, then add the tenths by...

I was just refuting this statement because I believe racing is a performance metric. Patrick

Actually, I remember in my youth, 60's - 70's, nothing could touch a Harley in the dirt mile. They were nearly always 1-2-3 at the finish. Patrick

Are you certain the power steering and hydraulics run off the same circuit? Patrick

Scotch Broom is the official poster child of invasive plants here in Oregon. Of course Himalayan Blackberries are way up on the list too, but it seems like everyone hates Scotch Broom. Patrick

My auto shop was in very rural and poor part of California. Many clients unable or unwilling to pay largish bills with cash, and illegal in California to surcharge for using credit card. Profit margins are super tight in auto repair business, so discounting for cash?, way out of the question...

There were a lot of home owner insurance companies that operated in the same business mode of way overcharge and invest that overage to make a killing that you'll never have to tap into. Oops, that business plan went up in smoke. The credit card companies have a much more lucrative system...

As you can see in my avatar, I have experience with large pine trees nobody wants. That's just a tip of the log deck, and there's more up the hill. These were trees that were killed in a forest fire, but died after the salvage logging was completed, which we got paid $0.00 but were lucky to...

From their website, and one of the many reasons I chose Milwaukee M18 cordless tools. 'We are committed to protecting our users's investments by providing high performing, trade-focused solutions that are fully compatible with M18™ REDLITHIUM™ batteries. The M18™ system has over 200...

We have the RoboRock QREVO. We have a mix of hard floors and rugs on hard floors. It does an incredible job. The app, according to my wife, is very easy to use and there are many features and options of how many and which rooms you want cleaned and heavy mop or light, etc. Highly recommend...

My first car was '67 GTO! Paid $2300 for it back around '83. Patrick

Like this .... https://www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/landscaping-equipment/6-way-dozer-blade/SS6DOZER.html I wouldn't mount it to my Kioti, but neat idea for a skid steer. Patrick

My wife has the M12 Hatchet and loves it. I like it, a lot, but the ergonomics of the spring loaded trigger safety thing irritates my arthritic hand. Once you pull the trigger though, you can release the safety. I just purchased the M18 top handle 16" and it is awesome. I was cutting up some...

With a 12mm and 14mm I can almost totally disassemble my '92 Toyota pick up truck. Patrick

I received mine 2 weeks ago. Been raining mostly since, but was able to get it assembled, fluid filled, PTO shaft cut to size and did a dry test run. No leaks and the unit is very quiet. The packaging was amazing. I really like how the shoot folds onto itself for transport through the woods...

Being an Auto Shop Owner/Mechanic from Upper Lake, CA, trust me, I know cabin air filters. I also know smoke from forest fires and what it's like to lose your home and property to one. Our family car growing up, and the car I learned to drive in was a '70 Buick Estate Wagon with the '455'...

That cabin air filter will come in handy when you compete in the BAJA 500 race. Of course, you'll be eating a lot of dust as you conserve your battery and complete the course in 3 days instead of one. Those remote solar chargers are so slow. At least they had a porta potty available while you...

He probably has a Diesel generator inside the trailer. ;) That's a joke Son! 🐔 Patrick

Haha! My Wife! I love her dearly, but usually, I just want a yes or no. Patrick

When we bid out our house with our contractor, the metal roof cost was more than twice the cost of shingled. House didn't happen. Patrick

Also used for wood instrument repairing cracks. Best shape for distributing stress to an already stressed component. I'm not an engineer, but I have repaired guitars with these. https://musiccitybridge.com/products/cleatus Patrick

My understanding is, and has worked for the last 5+ years since the fire, as long as you maintain communication through proper channels, they will not proceed with any action. Just you and/or your CPA be sure to keep up with certified mail and email responses. Document everything as you go...

https://www.blairbunting.com/Personal-Work/Air-&-Space/2 As an A&P, trust me, this is drag coefficient, and much smoother ride than my Sister's model S. Beautiful from any angle. This? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/is-it-me-or-is-the-model-y-really-ugly.192304/ I always imaged a...

We're in a similar situation, except it has proceeded to threats of liens on our accounts. Long story about losing everything in a forest fire, along with many others and super complicated ways to file for losses and gains after insurance pay off income. Plus we had business and rental income...

Like cancer research, there's so much government and benevolent grant money funding these programs that ..... why would you find a cure???? Not knocking cancer research, when I was a kid, if you got the big C, like my Uncle, you were a goner. Now I have many friends who are still around today...

Cool!....but, Every example was sandy, open, flat country except for the occasional staged ditch. I don't think Elk hunting guides are going to be replacing their pack mules any time soon. Patrick

My Dad retired Motorcycle Policeman. Traffic beat first on the Harleys, then Kawasakis, then got into SWAT and Undercover Drug busting. Loved his job and our community! Most of his Fireman and Policeman buddies took their pensions and moved to Idaho. This was in the 70's - 80's. Salaries...

I think those outdoor drain back/not freeze style bib valves would have to anti syphon, or they wouldn't be able to drain back through the wall as designed? I've never lived where it's so cold, so long that I would consider them. Patrick

When I built my house, code said anti-siphon on all hose bibs. Talk about flow restricting. As soon as we got COO, those were removed. Those bibs you have there may have something of an anti siphon valve built into them? Patrick

Most PT wood I've seen looks like culls from the saw mill. If it's for sill plates or pier post type use, it doesn't matter so much as it's under compression and with an entire house on top of it, structural strength shouldn't be an issue. Most decks with PT lumber I've seen laying boards flat...

My Parents got us a subscription to CR shortly after I got married. They, CR, are super blatantly biased, it's not even funny. They do have a lot of good information, but...... Patrick

What's the RPM Increase Kit? I know horsepower and torque are out of their power curve, but would be nice for roading between properties. Patrick

My drawbar doesn't pivot, unless there's an alternate mounting point I'm not aware of. I don't have any pull type implements, so it's been a non issue. I'll check if I can reverse install. There are 2 hefty pins that hold it in place, so removing is easy. Remembering where I put the drawbar...

I'm new to rotary cutters, and found damage to my pto shaft hitting my draw bar. Numerous Elk wallows and small coulees offered steep angles, so I removed the draw bar.

Good for the Sinuses! A while back, I had a client bring by some roasted Pepperwood/Bay Laurel nuts. A common tree in the riparian/Northern shaded areas. Wow!!!! Super complex flavors of the nuts, coffee, chocolate, and more. https://edibleeastbay.com/2015/08/16/roasted-bay-nuts/

I'm pretty sure the L Kubota and CK Kioti are, size wise, very similar. When I look at Land Pride attachments on their website, the L series, mid-range is what I look at. Patrick

Just ordered a WC68 yesterday. Enjoy the burn piles, but, messy drops from the grapple and muckin' up the property with R1 tires, back and forth to the piles? Enough. Patrick

'Toys in the attic' album as a 17 year old bluegrass picker was so cool. This song and attitude, not so. Even to a 20isher...

It looks like a condensate drain tube. That duck bill thingy at the lower end keeps bugs out. My tractor isn't cabbed, and I'm not sure how KIOTI AC/Heater system operates, but most will use the AC compressor to dry the incoming air and remove moisture at the condensor, then gravity drain...

Sorry, I meant to mention that they have an EV and was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with one. We'd have to upgrade our electric service panel, so I doubt we would get one, but their ICE cars are so good, was just wondering. Patrick

We're on our third Outback. Great cars and nothing can touch them in snowy conditions. I have a '92 Toyota built up for chasing my hounds with posi front and rear, 5:29 gears, taller tires, lift kit, etc. The Subaru does much better. If there was room for a dog box in the back, I'd use it...

Grumpycat, I come here to get information on EV's, pros and cons. I like your input, but do you have to quote every single post that you don't agree with in a separate post? I just read though almost 2+ pages of your banter. Also, not so much you, but the juvenile pissing matches and name...

First you have to decide what you want your apples for. Granny Smiths are tart and great for baking pies and crisps, etc. We have those here. I prefer Gravenstiens, but I'm from Northern California, so... Arkansas Blacks are great for eating, but get mushy. They were a target for Bears at...

You need to have a voltmeter handy when the problem happens again. Check wire for B+ voltage at starter solenoid from ignition switch. Do you have battery voltage when key turned to start? Switch is probably good. Do you hear or feel a click at the starter solenoid and get voltage drop...

Seems to me he would make an awesome typical Congressman: 1. He lies to his customers/constituency 2. He syphons off customer down payment/taxes for his own personal use and wealth building 3. Spends way more money than was paid/confiscated from the people he supposedly serves. Basic politics...

An exhaust brake and a Jacobs/engine brake are very different, and I doubt you could just 'bolt on a jake brake. Patrick

Arrow's right, pancakes should taste great with out anything but a glass of milk. I'm going to try the vanilla cake mix, that sounds good. I make mine with discard sourdough starter, flour, buttermilk, pinch of sugar and salt. The whole egg, olive oil and melted butter and thin the batter with...

Mine doesn't have any buttons and the PTO engagement is a lever that tensions the belt with a idler pulley arm. Nonetheless, I believe we have given the OP a better understanding of what to look for when troubleshooting. That's good! Patrick

I have a TroyBilt riding mower, and the engine will die if I have the blades engaged and shifter in reverse. There must be a safety switch that doesn't allow me to mow in reverse. Maybe your MTD has the same system and the switch is stuck closed? Patrick

I guess I could have been more specific that the tag was for Elk.:rolleyes: Got a laugh out me. :) Thanks. Patrick

I wish those Elk were in my meadow. I have a land owner tag that's good until the end of March. Patrick

https://archive.is/LUcsa This screams of ponzi. We moved to our remote property with our very nice 5th wheel RV, while having a contractor and architect drawing up plans for our dream house, but power was unavailable without a building permit. So, researching options, I found a hybrid solar...

......And, while I'm struggling to get work into the auto shop, because nobody's driving, 20 year old waiters from the restaurant are making more than me off GovmntMony, for doing nothing. Khrushchev was so right! Patrick

My Wife and I got checks. We deposited them into a money market savings account which helped to fund American Businesses, but, not ours directly. We did not spend one dime on China made **** from Walmart or any other junk. We were both in industries that were deemed 'essential', which meant we...

The hardest part, besides getting the front engine mount bolts out and then balancing the engine without the front mount is getting the crankshaft bolt loose. The manual states do not use impact wrench. There's a special counter torque socket that fits inside the pulley. I'm 210lbs and I...

I've repaired many vehicles, including my wife's Outback, after breaking a timing belt while driving. Usually, the only damage is a couple of bent valves and some marks that get blended into the top of the pistons. Basically a head gasket job with some cylinder head repair cost added. Patrick

That sounds normal. When I did my first hydraulic/HST filter change, I also replaced the fluid with MOBIL 424. Much quieter after that. Patrick

When my Wife and I built our house, I had a copy of the UBC and NEC that were being used by the County. My inspector was awesome and a great source of information. I was an Aircraft Mechanic, not a contractor. When he found a problem, I asked him to reference the section I was in violation of...

I think the wiring is already there. He just needs to move the lamp wire from the 'LOAD' terminals to the 'LINE' terminals. Patrick

On the back of the outlet, there should be a 'LINE' and a 'LOAD' connection point. The supply circuit from the panel is installed in the 'LINE' terminal. To continue power to the lamp not controlled by GFCI, attach lamp wires to other terminal of 'LINE', or double up if only one terminal is...

Rice Krispy Treat?? Odd that they loaded the container doors forward. Every one I've seen on I-5 are doors rear. Patrick

Howdy from Douglas County. I think Territorial Seed Company is near London, OR. Patrick

Try denatured alcohol. It removes 'sharpie' permanent ink used for cut marks on vinyl plank flooring, even after many weeks of dry time.

There are too many reasons, including your Daughter's health, that you need to get rid of this puppy. Patrick

With her symptoms, I hope your vet checked for Parvo. She's a cutie. Patrick

We have a 12' Stokes with the telescoping 3rd leg and hard surface kit options. http://www.stokesladders.com/products/ladder-orchard-aluminum-tripod.asp Picked it up from the factory when we lived in Lake County. Best ladders ever. Patrick

Try what Lineman says. I believe the CK 'SE' series has an electronic PTO clutch, and you can not turn the tractor stub shaft by hand, Patrick

That's the one I was trying to explain. In the link I posted, you can see it and the bolts in the fuse box. It is not easily accessed. PITA! Patrick

I've had those type of high amp fuses blow in vehicles, and they are mounted from underneath with screws. You'll probably have to disassemble the fuse block to get to the screws. If the link works, forward to :59 and you'll what I mean...

Check with Kubota dealer. I was at the parts dept for implement parts last week, and they were looping an infomercial showing their tire sealant. Water clean up, enviro friendly, seals up to 3/4" holes, etc. Patrick

I tried that. The distance between the inner radius and the bolt holes is very thin, and by the time I got it to fit over the housing, the gasket tore. I might as well just slop a bunch of sealant on the old gaskets and cross my fingers. I can't believe these are so hard to locate. Most every...

I can't find any identification on the gear box, and no shops around here seem to be able to match the input housing gaskets. Anyone know where I can purchase a shim/gasket set for the input shaft housing to gear box? I replaced the seal, but the real leak was from the gaskets. The two...

The clicking from your glow plug relay and starter relay are from low voltage/current. Have you load tested your battery, or tried jumping from another source? Have you checked alternator voltage when engine runs? Probably a bad battery or connection. If it starts normal with a jump, check...

Thank You!!

I found a manufacturer sticker, but I'm not familiar with R.M Wxxxx? & Co It does need an input seal, but the gear box is smooth and tight and I don't see any gear oil below. PTO shaft slides and the u-joints are also smooth. I grabbed the stump jumper and blades and there was very little...

Anybody able to identify this 5 foot cutter and about what it's worth? I may go look at it Wednesday. It will be used to tackle blackberries and cutting rough area of meadow. I don't care how it looks, just that it is worth buying. Patrick

PonyTug, thanks for the correction and info. We have SMA Sunny Island inverters and Kubota GL 11k generator, so we're on that short list. Patrick

TESLA power wall batteries, last I checked, must be grid tied, so no off grid use. We looked into them. We're off grid and this time of year, generator runs about every 3 days to charge the batteries. Patrick

Yep, they were great vices. I think Rockler or one of the woodworking sites had brought it back, imported of course. It was green and may have been called the Parrott Vice. Anyhow, lost mine and most everything else in a forest fire in 2018. Will look into getting another one when we finally...

Kind of like laying out your Lariat around your bedroll to keep the rattle snakes from crawling in? Patrick

That is a Versa-Vise. I had one years ago my FIL gave to me. Google should get you going. Patrick

I know there is one at the Klamath River rest stop on I-5 between Yreka, CA and Ashland, OR. I haven't noticed any others on I-5 from Maxwell, CA to Roseburg, OR, and I've stopped at them all in the last 2 years. Patrick

I think you're supposed to 'Tell" us something we don't know, not 'Ask' us.;) Patrick

Hylomar may not be available in Lodi. I used to overhaul large radial aircraft engines in Lakeport, and we would use Permatex brand Hylomar on the rocker cover and push rod adaptor flange gaskets. Those gaskets never leaked oil IF dressed with Hylomar. Late 90's sometime, unable to get from...

When I got our notice, the first thing I thought of was that we were subsidising the $$$$ discount TESLA offered on their cars a few months ago. Patrick

I like earlier in the song, where he's singing one of of his numbers and she asks him if he knows 'Poke Salad Annie?'. Kind of annoys him.... She says 'that song makes me wanna' take my clothes off', and BAM...Down in Louisiana,,, where the alligators grow so mean..... Haha!. Man, he wrote so...

Slip joint 'water pump' pliers work a lot better if you hold and turn them in the proper direction.:) The blue pair are are being forced to loosen instead of tightening in that direction of pull. Thank for the updates. I'm in the middle of a house reno and I've gleaned a lot of ideas and...

I've seen floating pontoons in ponds and creeks with the pump suspended below. The floats look like small gold dredges without the pump and sluice box. Our pipe to the storage tank and to our RV is above ground and froze earlier this year. It would usually thaw by mid afternoon, but a few days...

RPS solar well pump systems. Ponytug gave you a link in the first reply. We have the 400V system. At full sun, I've measured 12+ gpm at about 10' head. You could put a level sensor in the trough and the pump will shut off. Very versitile and customizable. We installed ours here in Oregon a...

I had a 92 3054, and if I recall, the adjustment through the inspection plate was only for the PTO clutch. It's a dual clutch system. Partial movement disengages the PTO and full movement disengages transmission and drive gear. There was no 'external access' to the traveling clutch...

Not sure if it's a potentiometer or circuit board, but I would scope or ohm the leads and monitor the sweep pattern of the trigger. Any flatlining or herky jerky signal, I would replace it. Patrick

Get 3 or 4 different varieties. One tree's female and male parts can produce fruit, but the timing is usually way off, so another variety will develop at different times and they will be able to pollinate each other. Patrick

There is nothing better than having your Wife join in with these kinds of chores. We are soooo blessed! Patrick

My KIOTI idles at about 1200 RPM. When started cold it's about 1050, then after a minute, it raises to 1200. Warm start idle is 1200 RPM. That's as low as the idle is. Patrick

Thanks Grumpy! I thought there were some 'off' statements regarding the 12Vdc/starting system in that article. The 'robust' battery in most prius' I've worked on are barely twice the size of a motorcycle/ATV battery and when they start to fail, many fault codes from A-Z systems can occur...

What vehicle to you have? Every one I've seen has adjustments. Even the motorized, auto high beam/dimming selecting models. They don't make it obvious though, where the mechanism is. Patrick

With the engine off and key on, push the buttons. You should here the relays clicking. The power supply on mine is a small wire in the fender area right of the seat. My connections were loose from the crappy dealer install and would be intermittent, usually as I was attempting to drop a load...

Sorry to see that. We just got word our cabinets are ready to be delivered, but we're not ready yet. Should be week after next. They said OK, they'll deliver them when we're ready. Kinda nervous...... a lot. Patrick

Click on your user name in the upper right, click on settings, scroll down and uncheck the 'show peoples signature' box. I agree, some folks have a lot of stuff and mostly great quotes. Patrick

What Pops said about limbing from below. Those Cedar branches are super brittle when green, let alone a deadfall. I would cut the butt off the stump, if possible, then put a half wrap with your choker rolling away from you and the nubbin at about 2 o'clock. Connect your bull line to the choker...

Nice. Is that a Bugatti? I always pictured that is what the Green Hornet's car, The Black Beauty, would look like. Patrick

I've been thinking the same thing. The time is right for the Ralph Naders and Gov regulators to step up and make affordable EVs....... not affordable, like the Muscle Cars of the early 70's.

What about the dipper and crowder controls, are they normal? If opposite too, you may have the remotes plugged in wrong or the lever detented into position B instead of A which would reverse flow. Good luck. Patrick

Yep, the only problems I've had were caused by dealer assembly screw ups. Patrick

I have read where people use the TESLA power wall, grid tied, and charge it over night when the rates are low, then switch over to the battery when rates are high. These are wealthy people, so... The answer is yes, but you need to do the math. I don't know the formula, but power consumption...

Save that for a Bobcat stretcher board.

Wow, nice dealer.

Not my letter, I have the KL 4030. Copied and pasted from recall thread. I got a letter from KIOTI today for this recall on my 2022 KL4030C loader: "Please contact your selling dealer to schedule the installation of the upgraded Quick Attach parts" Applies KL4030C loaders with serial Number...

Pull the fuel pump relay. Patrick

Yep, ours have the groove and a sticker inside identifying them as the real deal. Plus, the box they came in was labeled as some kind of flour to discourage porch pirates. Company has a good sense of humor. There are a lot of cheap knock offs, and I think yours is one of those. They work...

I believe you have a set of CHIRP wheels. My Wife uses hers daily. Patrick

Hey Rocky, Check your laws. I had my trappers license in CA and body grip traps were legal for nuisance hire and personal pest control. They were not legal for fur taking. I had a few dozen conibear 110s that I would clear out ground squirrels from horse and cattle pen properties. Patrick

This is why, in photos, fishermen with longer arms always catch bigger fish. Patrick

If you don't need the backhoe now, you probably will eventually. Also, having the backhoe means you already have at least one rear remote for other implements. Patrick

Check out RPS solar. They specialise in off grid cattle ranches replacing windmills. We installed the RPS 400 pump turn key kit which included everything including the poly pipe a year ago. We had to supply the mount pole and ground wire. It has performed flawless and even pumps water on...

Thanks for the info. Patrick

So you chose not to utilise a tub grinder at $500/hr. What does this Doppstadt cost/hr? The results appear similar. Most orchards around here use the tub method. Thanks, I have a lot of dirty logging slash to get rid of. Patrick

Thanks. Your build videos take me back and put a smile on my face along with a tear in my eye. I think the first one of yours I saw you were putting on the roof panels. I'd never seen SIP before, but what drew me in to keep watching was an instrumental of 'Angeline the Baker' playing in the...

That's how I do it with my truck! Patrick

Since the Inspector missed that there are no nail plates on the other side of that wall, how are your going to prevent the drywallers from doing what you did? I also noticed lack of ceiling blocking. I feel for you. So many, many little things to remember, and just as many you don't know...

I only mentioned the hoses so you wouldn't post it for sale with that picture stating new hoses. I think the pedal is extendahoe or hydraulic thumb. Sorry I can't help with $ value. Patrick

On my CK model, there is a folding wire clip to hold down the clutch pedal. It folds against the shaft when not in use and catches against the floor board when in use. Yours may have the same set up to allowing one person to move that rear selector lever. Sorry I don't have any more tips...

Those new hoses in your photo appear to be for a propane heater?

My Wife and I cleared land and built our own hose same as you back in 99/2000. Friends and family help on the weekends, self help during the week after working all day. Our county was very helpful, as was our inspector. He said he enjoyed owner/builder because he knew we were going to do the...

Picture's worth a thousand words. Glad it turned out well. Patrick

That's odd looking for an o ring. Have you tried to dig out the rest of it? I would try to find a copy of the parts manual. That might be some packing material used when the front end got painted and not even needed. I've seen o rings on hydraulic rams for that purpose. Patrick

Yuck! That's appears to be a 1000 gallon poly septic tank. Maybe new construction up stream, recently buried, and never used? Patrick

That motorhome was probably the McKenzie brothers returning from the Elsinore Brewery Castle with their life time supply of beer granted to them because they found a mouse in one of their bottles. Take off, Hoser! Patrick

Jeez, 122 replies with maybe 4 directly about the fun, goofy stove top fan. Mom swears the fan allowed them to not use the ceiling fan to make the room more comfortable. How? OHMS law! Patrick

I have one of those given to me from my Mom. They work like the thermocouple in your water heater pilot light system. Instead of voltage/current going through a hold-in coil to keep your pilot light lit, they route it through a dc motor and the hotter the fire, the faster the propeller spins...

The ticking noise is not the pto shaft. I received the winch on a pallet on it's back, 3pt side down. Maybe something fell in or got loose in there around the pulley/flywheel area. I have to pull the upper guard to count my wraps when I tension the cable, so I'll get a look then. Eric's...

Got the winch mounted and the pto drive shaft cut to the proper length earlier this week. When I engage the pto, there's a cyclic ticking noise from the winch housing. Seem to work ok. Should have choker chains tomorrow so will spool out cable and cinch down as per manual. Is the ticking...

Will do. What size choker chains do you use, and did you feed out the cable and tighten down with a heavy load before using? Thanks, Patrick

I just purchased the EGV 35A model today. It's laid down on a pallet on my atv trailer, and I don't see any lifting point to attach a chain to pick it up and stand it up. Any suggestions? Patrick Never mind. I had some web tow strapping that I was able to use. Thanks anyhow.

I like the White best. Patrick

Awesome! The owner of that Tesla get's it. The powerplants that make electricity to charge his car don't run off of Compressed Unicorn Farts. At least, most don't. Patrick

My CK2610 has no emissions. The manual 'is' generic for the 2610/3510/4010. You have to 'read between the lines'. Patrick

My guess is there's a set of bogies off camera to the right. They get the shovel into position, jack up the rear of the trailer, then mount the bogie. Kind of backwards of a modern lowboy. Patrick

Thanks for clarifying. It took me about 10 times reading it before I got it. I've recently been enjoying your Groan segments, by the way. Patrick

The squirrel or the driver of the car? Patrick

Seat sensor? While standing next my/same tractor, HST, I can just push down on the clutch with my left hand, and turn the key with my right hand, and it cranks/starts. Is yours a CAB tractor? Details...

AB, that layout hurts my OCD eyes in more ways then I can count. Probably the blue lines. WCD, glad your Daughter's feeling better. LYME has affected my health for the last 30+ years. Damn ticks. Patrick

The book 'Mushrooms Demystified' by David Aurora is the NorCal Bible of mushroom identification. Even if you don't want to eat your finds, it's fun to hunt them out and identify just for fun. This is a good haul of Morels from a few years back. Patrick

I have the Ranger MUTT by IPA. Comes with the adapters and everything except battery. Less than $200 and self contained, so works out in the field or were ever. Patrick

The way you have it is correct. You 'hold' the bolt head and 'turn' the nut. This gives proper torque and the flat washer protects the angle iron by spreading the load. Patrick

In our County, Lake, we can get a 'smoke management plan' and then burn pile sizes and burn hours are not so limited. We've burned many huge piles over several days. Plenty of material since forest fire killed it all. You can see a very small portion of it in my avatar. Unless you have a...

One of our most worthless trees, unless you're a treeing game being pursued by hounds through Chemise. I had a friend who logged it and sent the logs to a plywood mill in Klamath Falls to make high end interior veneer. We made some picnic tables out of 4x8 tops and they rotted very quickly...

Something around a 25 x ? thread to a 19mm barb fitting? Take plug to a tractor/hydraulic parts house and size one up. Heck, go to your local hardware store and by a grey PVC 1"MNPT x 3/4" barb and gently force it into that hole. There's no high pressure, just volume. My LK3054 has basically...

My LK3054 seat flipped forward and covered the instrument cluster. Best of both worlds. I left my CK2610 tractor out Saturday night and the dew the next morning filled the seat with water. I haven't really checked the mounting, but, I am going to figure a way to make this seat tilt...

I always cut a piece of cardboard to put behind the radiator. It protects the back of my hands and the radiator fins from damage. Patrick

I'm coming up on 180 hrs and it's much easier to shift now than when new. Patrick

I have the same issue with my 2610, but it's not a 'KIOTI' exclusive problem. Search 'floppy bucket' and most colors of tractor have it to some extent. I have the parts Stan listed, but haven't installed them yet. Mich Iron mentioned a flow restrictor, but you would then have the slow...

My Kioti CK has a well padded, adjustable air ride seat. I'm 6'3" long inseam, my wife is 5'4" short inseam. We can both adjust the seat to operate the tractor comfortably. Patrick

My LK3054 had a FORD/New Holland frame mount backhoe, and it worked, great. My neighbor has it now and still going strong. Patrick

It's finally cooled off here, and the glow plug light is turning on again. Patrick

We have WeBoost and it works great. We recently bought a 5th wheel and moved back onto our burned out property. My Wife needs cell service to work from home, and service here is marginal at best. As PONY said, 0x0=0. We got the RV Destination because it comes with a telescopic antennae and...

JSTP nailed my developing thoughts exactly. It'll be very rare that I need to haul the entire TLB, and for all the other chores it will be super handy to have. I'm going with this trailer. After it safely hauls my tractor when we move from NorCal to Oregon, I'll be set. Looking forward to...

Most people I know with a truck don't have a trailer. I see it as a barterable tool. 'Hey Pat, I've got some fresh Crab and Salmon, could I use your trailer........' Patrick

Thanks for all the replies. I would only be using the trailer to move the tractor very infrequently, so day to day lumber from the hardware store, a pallet of stuff, logs to make lumber, or a couple atvs would be the norm. I don't know how the trailer is set up, so I'll contact the builder to...

I have an opportunity to purchase a nearly new/one trip trailer from a friend. A 16', dual axle flatbed with stored ramps, #7000GVW. The tag states not to load more than #5400 lbs. I have a 2018 Kioti CK2610 tractor, loader, backhoe, with loaded rear tires. My quick calculations show I would be...

ning, 10% Markup, or Margin?? Why bother owning your own business? You can't make it on that unless your goal is to work until you die.

There's a lot of Basque people out here and goat stew is one of the staples at their restaurants. I like goat meat, they taste better than they smell.

Operated the tractor a lot this past weekend moving gravel from creek bed to RV and vehicle parking area. 112'F Saturday and 108'F Sunday. No glow plug light except when key on instrument panel self test. Might be a few months before the glow plugs kick in. Patrick

👍👍

Hi Paul, I have a 2018 and I believe there may be an ambient/coolant temp sensor in the circuit. Since it's been hot outside, I've noticed my glow plug light doesn't illuminate, but the engine fires off in an instant. When the temps are cold, the light is on for a short time, or longer if it's...

I have a few of those too. Patrick

I've seen the way you stand on ladders in your videos, and I cringe every time. Glad you're ok. I hate ladders, but they're a necessary evil. I'd recommend getting better ladders than what you've been using. STOKES Ladders are made here in Kelseyville, Lake County. They're expensive but super...

Most systems utilize a 120A +/- strip fuse or fusible link that may have blown if you shorted the cables or hooked them up backwards while swapping batteries. Check that, if there is one. Patrick

Chuck, thanks for the complement. It's sheetrocked and insulated, has lights and a 100 amp subpanel, 110/220v outlets for tools and welder, and there are 3 30a RV hook ups scattered around for when friends visit. Ning, yes 1 1/2" fire hose thread from our local farm/hardware supply Rainbow Ag...

Here's my pumphouse. 8 x 8 feet with a 2 x 2 feet 'dog house' extension covering the well itself. The dog house lid is held on with deck screws. No need to move the building for pump removal, and there's a slab under all of it. I built the walls and trusses at home and hauled them up to the...

I think the Wildfire Defense Services is actually private companies that come out and defend your home when CalFire is not able, or willing to. It's getting more common as the insurance companies are tired of loosing there financial butts and clients homes because nobody shows up. Basically...

Saw that coming. You still need a face and undercut, then your bore to create the hinge, then cut up but not quite all the way. Then your back cut slightly lower than your bore and it will 'pop'! The material between bore cut and back cut will prevent saw binding. We have Madrone trees out...

My tractor has the rod, but I've never figured out how to use it. How I level the bucket is drop it to the ground slightly curled back, than curl forward until the front of the tractor starts to lift up. Curl back until front stops lowering. Tip forward a bit to cut. Once you do this a...

The Fido-shock is an AC high voltage/low current signal. Most cattle fences I've encountered were DC. Maybe AC doesn't give of much Ozone smell? Patrick

The black goo might be microbial growth. We used a product called Prist in jet fuel, which is similar to diesel. I'm sure there's an anti microbial for diesel, I just don't know it by name. Patrick

The set on the right appear to be same I replaced at my 50hr. I believe our tractors share the same engine, but I'm not sure about yours having a 2 spd HST as to my 3 spd. Maybe an internal difference, but same external filters? Patrick

What Eddie said. I had bear hounds and they would dig or climb no climb wire fencing. Fido-Shock is a lower powered fence charger that works great. I ran one wire near the top and one wire along the ground. They get zapped once and they avoid the fence. No more climbing or digging near the...

Is there a shut off valve before the filter to prevent gravity feed dumping fuel that you left partially closed? Patrick

Wow! The water tower reminds me of my Great-Grandma's house in Sebastopol. I think it was on Mill Station Rd. Last time I was there would have been very early 70's as I recall. Maybe 10 years old. Mom says the House is still there and has been 'updated', but they kept all the 'built ins' and...

Most Suckers won't buy the Bronco for $48K, they'll finance it and pay about $90K. Patrick

I have a CK2610 and the pins pull out and install with the tip of my pinky. There is no binding or hammering needed. I have found the worst part of a Kioti tractor is the dealer assembly. The only problems I have had were do to them. I would like to mail order my next tractor. You need to...

I also have the Land Pride SGC0660 on my CK. 62" wide at 250 lbs. It's been incredible at clearing our property after forest fire destroyed all. It'll grab, carry, or drag large trees and rake up the smaller debris. Patrick

If your concern is weakening the frame, why not just weld the anchor to some plate steel, and mount the plate to the bolt holes with longer bolts? Patrick

The tax credit is back. Biomass heating 26% for equipment and installation costs. We're buying a Central Boiler for our house build with radiant heat floors. Patrick

See this thread.... Temp gauge Patrick

How soon they forget. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland_firestorm_of_1991 Patrick

I believe Kioti also has the cruise control option on both CK and DK lines.

Nibbler....... then draw file as, or, if needed. Have done many aircraft skin repairs and metal roofing trimming with those tools. A & P Patrick

I would call that a griddle. There's even a bottle of olive oil for non-stick cooking. Patrick

I also believe it's cavitation. Probable cause is air leaking into inlet line, and/or restriction causing fluid to 'boil' on low pressure side of pump. Change or flush filter and inspect housing. Those little bubbles will erode the inside housing and gears of your pump. I had to change out...

There's a welding topic forum section here that you should post this question. Lots of great advise and knowledge. Patrick

2018 Kioti CK2610HST with factory FEL, Backhoe, and 3rd function kit. Removed backhoe to use the 3 point and it would only lower a few inches than lock up. It would raise back up, but only drop slight amount. I checked the lowering control valve and it turns freely in both directions and...

Just replaced all the hydraulic hoses on my Kioti tractor's New Holland back hoe attachment, and now after running it, hydraulic oil is blowing out the vent tube from where the return line Tees into the rear end. I've had this happen in the past, but seemed to clear up on it's own, Is there a...
