    Pretty much guaranteed our power never goes out

    wow thats a great deal. I'm in CT. things have changed over the years.... seems everyone has a different deal.. depending when you installed. I have net metering that gives me KWH credit for over production. my buddy that had his system a few years earlier gets a 75% payout for over...

    Pretty much guaranteed our power never goes out

    Around here they won't let you go completely off grid (so I'm told) unless it's new construction. Battery backup didn't make sense to me. I make enough KHW credits in the summer time to carry me through the winter without an electric bill. we rarely lose power /if so I connect the genny. If...

    Really smart guys

    Apples and Tomatos..... Kubota is probably a 20 Billion dollar company. With a company that big, money gets pissed out the window every day and nobody even notices.... It's hard to keep track of everything with a company that big. But when your talking about a small company making cast iron...

    There is a lot more at play that you realize. It's not as cut & dry as you are thinking.

    Thats pretty obvious. The thing is, You or I have NO IDEA what the MFR "dictates" or agrees on.

    A few reasons. Mainly Amazon can buy in bulk. Also Amazon has a larger audience and can basically consignment sell for a profit. Amazon can also ship for substantially less than any other shipping option. I'm sure there are more reasons.... Or a more articulate explanation for what I just...

    Thomas T133 skid steer(kubota engine)

    My $0.02 .... They are a royal pain in the azz to work on ... unless you have tiny hands and enjoy frustration. Last year I was in the same situation.... ended up buying an older New Holland. With the boom up (and locked) you have complete access to the engine compartment. I put a starter...

    BX fuel pump pressure?

    Without knowing the specifics of your situation It's hard to say. Sounds like operator error. No offense but a lot of people are not adept at understanding internet protection limitations and navigating related settings especially concerning ISP's / firewalls/VPN's/malware/spam protection...

    BX fuel pump pressure?

    Same difference? I disagree. I've been an Amazon member for 30 years. It wasn't always majority chinese.. like it is now. That said, The shipping and return policy with Prime is very good. yes, Prime is an extra cost but I more than cover that cost with the Amazon card payback. I'm not...

    BX fuel pump pressure?

    Looks pretty much Like the pumps I bought on Amazon not to long ago. plumbed them back to back to transfer gasoline... works good. I would have no problem using one on the BX if needed. Before anyone comments, I'm aware 2 pumps in line is probably redundant..... But beer fuels my...
