It very much is a chicken/egg situation. If you want to take this private and let the jokes resume (before we become the butt of the jokes while we’re nerding out), pm me and I’ll be happy to explain in detail. I’m old and retired with lots to say and the time to say it.

Reverse power relaying does the trick. Trips the circuit breakers on the load side of the inverter, which then disables the inverter output. Not much difference from a conventional turbine generator. Was in the biz for nearly 40 years and wrote software for auto-synchronizing big generators...

Put the flail mower on and crossed the boundary between me and the neighbor. I need some pine brush to feed my chipper for stuff to go in the mosh pits in my coops, and he just so happens to have at least 20 short leaf pines down over the past few years. Might take a few logs too because they’re...

Exactly why AI is so necessary for the generations that don’t know how to spell or do simple math in their heads without being able to see their fingers on their smartphone.

How did I know this was the direction of the punchlines for the punchlines? And the kids say dad jokes aren’t funny……

Yup, leafing ain't fun. I use my little Husqvarna YTH22V46 to mulch and bag 'em, dump the bags on a tarp in a little trailer I built 20 years ago, and then haul that to the back with the LX. Makes for a few less trips and I don't tear up what little lawn I have with the LX. The tarp lets me...

Wonder if I could do something similar using the treadle switch on my LX2610? It senses the treadle is pushed in either direction, but dunno if it's two switches or one. It's all mine now (last payment two days ago) so I reckon I can screw it up as bad as I want to. Nah, I'm pretty careful to...

I thought at first it was some kind of shoe rack. Have seen the aluminum version lotsa times, but never a wooden one. But yeah, good sturdy boots with steel shanks in the arches are the only way to stand on that more than about 5 minutes.

Congrats on the new job, or condolences as the case may be. I remember my conundrum when I bought my LX. Do I get up and go to work or do I just play with the tractor. Decisions, decisions. Seriously, I hope you enjoy your new job as much as I did my career before big company mentality killed...

We called that "Crap, Snackle, and Aw S**t!"

We called this the "MST", Maximum Smoke Test. Wherever it smokes the maximum is probably where the problem is.

Did you modify the OE blade? That sucker should have some SERIOUS lift.

Me and you both. It was nice to be able to actually touch something before paying for it. 10 times out of 9, when I order something like that, what I get looks nothing like what I need, and rarely fits. That was my own fault if I picked up a part that I could see would not fit. It isn't my...

I tell Myself what to do all the time. He doesn't listen. I think he's hard of hearing.

I have the same loader(LA535) on the LX2610SU model tractor, to which I added a Long Hydraulics 3rd function. The 3rd function I added disconnects in a blink because it’s on the RH loader support on the outside, right next to my right foot on the treadle. I put 1 male and 1 female on each boom...
