PTO-Driven Beer Fridge

One of the local Kubota dealers is giving a deal: tractor, FEL, bush hog, generator on a trailer that you just hitch up and drive away for somewhere just beyond $20k.

By the way, if you put your bush hog front on a 2x6 dolly with 3 steel dolly wheels underneath each side, the bush hog isn't bad to connect, especially if you have a push button PTO end, not a pull collar one.

I will do almost anything to find an alternative to having to use the PTO on my tractor if I can. I keep my bush hog on it all the time, and it's pure torture putting it back on after I take it off. Probably the thing that I hate doing more then anything else.

I'm sure you've seen all the ads for that PTO quick adapter, right? If my PTO shafts were tough for me, I'd give one a try.

I have my pto generator on a trailer. How many fridges do you want to load on the trailer and plug into it??

I'm not seeing the problem that others complain about with the pull collar PTO. The guard on my Kubota raises up enough so that I can easily get my hands on it to pull it back. The push button on my bush hog is what I had problems with, until I applied liberal amounts of PB Blaster followed by WD40 once I got it loosened up.

I'd like to make some plastic flaps that convert my bush hog blades into fan blades, pumping downward. Then blow debris off my driveway with them. HDPE or polypropylene- flexible, durable, but they don't hurt the neighbor kids as much if they sling off.

If you could get enough downforce, and maybe mount one up front somehow, you'd have a tractor hovercraft.

Just get an antique International Harvester fridge. Same folks that made Farmalls!

Or make ice cream

So, I WAS looking to get a cooler for the back of the Taco Wagon. My friend has an electric 12V Yeti. After I looked at the various Yeti models - ice in my Ram Boxes will do just fine. A 12V Yeti that would nicely fit across the bed - $1400. My God man - how do the yuppies get something that size in their Volvo wagons.

I only saw them in the last few years, those old kick-start ringer washers. Would love a kick-start beer fridge, as long as it doesn't run on JD. Then the Beer would have to fend for itself.

We hunted moose at a fellows homestead. Exactly 101 miles north of Anchorage on the new Fairbanks Hwy. His homestead was some 26 miles - West - off the highway. Anyhow - his wife had one of those Maytag gasoline engine powered wringer washers. Saturday morning was their washing day. Her and four kids all pitched in. At times it looked like a carnival side show. I swear - you could hear that washing machine running for miles. The noise never seemed to bother the moose.
