    Is a quick hitch worth it when you have adjustable links

    From what I could find it's something called G 1/2 on the quick connect end of the hose.

    Is a quick hitch worth it when you have adjustable links

    Thanks, I will look into them. Mine has straight threads and copper gaskets so I'll have to find what thread I need. It's definitely to fast if I don't just feather the valve.

    Is a quick hitch worth it when you have adjustable links

    I tried that first and found the hoses hard to plug in plus the lock block was vulnerable. This works best for me but it is easy to flip also.

    Is a quick hitch worth it when you have adjustable links

    Top link fit on with a little grinding. Bushing was a little wide for the mount so had to grind about 1/16" off it. No leaks and works. If I try to extend it full speed it's a little jumpy. Go slow and it's smooth so seems like the lock doesn't like fast. Mounted it with the lock block down...

    Bad Welds?

    Using the word Magic in the same sentence as the word Weld scares me after Joe's thread 🫣. It appears Kubota didn't put enough layers of paint on to reinforce the weld 😁.

    T M G products. Does anyone have experience with them.

    The one thing I forgot to mention is the Chinese flails all come with cheap molded hammers that do not last as long as forged flails on the DelMarino. It appears the molded ones last about 3 years without major rock contact. I plan on buying a replacement set of forged hammers and swap them in...

    Bad Welds?

    In 2021 and 2022 I was told Kubota was having a hard time getting properly speced steel and the best stuff was going into the larger expensive tractors. Also worker shortages caused the best workers to be assigned to the expensive stuff. That's one of the reasons production numbers were low and...

    Why am I seeing weird Asian appearing text?

    Allowing porn pictures of underage Chinese girls could get the site owners in deep trouble. It's just not right to leave the crap up so long. Maybe it's a new way they are generating revenue 🤔.

    T M G products. Does anyone have experience with them.

    My tractor is a little over 5000 pounds with filled tires, cab, and loader. Many run the 65 inch on the 35 hp Kioti version that's the same weight as mine without problems. The lighter DelMarino offset flails for 25 hp machines are about identical weight. I'm not worried about welds as it won’t...

    Mower maintenance

    I changed mine in the BX deck when the seal started leaking. Every 3 to 4 years 😳 and used synthetic. Dang new zero turn doesn't have grease fittings and no gearbox that I am loving.

    T M G products. Does anyone have experience with them.

    I just ordered the 60 inch Mechmaxx ditch bank mower that's probably about the same. Was cheap and only need it a couple times a year so I took a chance. Ordered their stump grinder 2 weeks ago and it's not bad. I figure if it lasts a year under warranty, it should be good for a couple years...

    What's cookin' boys?

    Spices are not easy to get right. We have an Amish store a couple miles from us and they sell them in bulk. Fresher then most commercial stuff. I designed and built a hidden spice cabinet in my kitchen to hide them all in darkness.

    Generator Time

    These are 450 watt / 550 bifacial panels. Two that I have been playing with put out 1140 watts at 95 volts this winter with snow on the ground a couple sunny days. I think That a shiny aluminum foil on the trailer will help in the summer because I only see a little over 1000 watts without...

    Generator Time

    Finally getting to work on my solar generator. Almost have the trailer done for the panels. 10-550 watt bifacial panels should give me 5000 watts at about 450 volts on a sunny day. Adjustable from 15 to 45 degrees for our seasonal solar angle adjustment. Was going to build a shed on the...

    What's cookin' boys?

    I grew some poblanos last year and they were sooooo hot that they all went in the compost pile. Us old people can't take hot anymore. We like the Anaheim flavor in chili best anymore. Even the Anaheims were very hot last year for some reason. I grow nadapenos and habanadas for flavor without...

    Final picture that last post would not take. Really good for turkey chili. Added quite a bit of chili powder though to get the flavor right. Enjoying the garden year round.
