    BX 1880 VS Gr2120

    I have the BX1880 with the 48 in mower and FEL. It felt tall and tippy initially but now I have gotten used to it and I never remove the mower for FEL work. I think the mower helps a lot for stability. Mine came with R1 tires and dented the hell out of the lawn. They were terrible for ride...

    That would be a Horrorscope! And if you are also doing an endoscopy, do it first to avoid the aftertaste of the colonoscopy. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    The only problem is that you need a second phone to take a picture to zoom in on what you are trying to read on the first phone. :ROFLMAO:

    Additionally, if you decide to go along with something like this, make sure that the charge controller is MPPT. This type of charge controller can do several things to improve efficiency and charge the batteries even with marginal sunlight. First of all if the voltage of the solar panel exceeds...

    I had to acquire the parts from Amazon or Ebay. The panels are probably no longer available since the company was out of business back then. But you might get lucky: Panels These do not have any connectors. The ones I bought had MC3 connectors but today MC4 is the standard...

    On the other hand, a Solar Generator might be the ticket for you. It is portable, it can charge with AC, it can charge with the car and from solar panels. All is integrated, battery, battery charge controller and inverter. The only thing that you might want to add are solar panel extension...

    Just to give you an idea, I put this together in a hurry for my sister after hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico in 2017 so that she could run her fridge, charge phones and have a few LED lights. I did not know anything about solar power so I watched a bunch of Youtube videos and read anything...

    Need Recommendation For Air Compressor

    i bought an oil less Stealth which is very quiet but the pressure regulator failed with very little use. It was replaced under warranty with no issue but the new one is already misbehaving.

    Dry Season

    Apparently the situation in the neighborhood has been much worse than initially appeared. It seems that at least three houses had been flooded since this is the worst flooding ever. The ongoing story is that when the county fixed the drainage for the neighborhood last time, they increased the...

    Do I really need ?

    Make sure to run it every two months to maintain the warranty. Also, drain the carb every time for storage and use Sta-bil to prevent corrosion in the carb. Seafoam did not do anything to protect my carb from corrosion. Here is the direct replacement carb that I bought for mine since HF did not...

    Dry Season

    It's a good thing that we are in the dry season. This was Sunday night: Driveway with low voltage light Front yard and the street. My drowning truck. Backyard. Backyard. We had over 10 inches of rain and most of it in about 2 hours. A neighbor had her house flooded for the third...
