    Plasma cutting

    I think any type of dryer will interfere with airflow when added to the input side of a compressor. Probably gonna need an additional dry air feed. On a unit like that I wonder if providing a remote air feed will up the plasma output power because a built in compressor must draw quite a bit of...

    Plasma cutting

    With my Hypertherm 45 quality goes down as cut speed is increased past the voltage setting requirements. A 1/2 inch material cut by hand is tough to get perfect and takes quite a bit of air. My CNC monitors cut voltage and the cut is very square but dross can vary. Looks like they show an...

    RTV900XT Top Speed 17 mph

    My new RTV X tops out at about 18 mph in high on level ground. About 6 mph in low going up my hill. They are way underpowered compared to what they advertise. Was told it's normal for them. 25 hp ain't much for a UTV I guess.

    Vacuum sealing pew pew seeds

    I do not vacuum seal them. High vacuum can dislodge the bullets in the loaded ones and be a problem later. Vacuum can cause moisture trapped in them to boil and create gas also. Try sealing an empty magazine to see if the bags are being punctured. I find mylar bags are tougher also.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    My recommendation is don't buy a cheap auction machine. Most of them have low quality components and zero support. You get what you pay for. I went with the Huayee SHY (dealership model only) because it has top end components with a real Kubota engine from Japan and dealer support with a 3 year...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Sure did last fall but couldn't move it with the 8 ft root ball and drought hard soil. Finally yanked it out today and started filling the hole in

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Pulled a giant stump out. Used 4 snatch blocks and the 5000 pound winch to give it super power 😲.

    Got some advice for a “3 way” ……….(from my wife…;)…..(she thinks it’s better in the front, not the rear?)

    I asked the wife your question and her answer was " You want rear, it's gonna cost you. Go pay a hooker and hire a lawyer" 😲. There seems to be a price on everything anymore. Thanks for the entertainment.

    OK smart gardeners

    Put a camera pointing at it and you will know. Probably a squirrel looking for his burried nuts and finding a darn tater. Try Yukon golds someday. They're our favorites.

    Hydraulic top link

    Mine has the lock but even if it didn't, my rear remote doesn't float when centered. Guess you don't need a lock but do need a remote that has a float position for that to work.

    What's cookin' boys?

    Here's the one that we make by the gallon and love. A friend's grandmother gave me the recipe before she passed on because I loved it and and she never gave it to anyone else so I shared it so it didn't die when I do. She developed it during the depression for a Jewish family she was a maid for...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Most around me sell soil, gravel, mulch, and compost by the cubic yard. Home centers sell bags either by weight or cubic ft.

    It’s time to “put up” or “shut up”…………...

    Time to replace the stairs with an elevator. Your gonna need it eventually just to get stock down and builds up as you get older. Probably cost about the same as all that lumber did to build the protection devices for a Redneck elevator . If someone complains about you running a machine shop...
