    Buy a chipper or a gallon of diesel and a mat5ch

    Thanks. That's good to know. I saw when they were acquired by Ronin Equity Partners the products changed but didn't realize the original Vetran owners formed The Back Forty Group and bought it back recently to return it to the original values.

    Tools you want to brag about?

    I needed 10mm & 18mm tight quarters ratcheting wrenches. Saw Milwaukee had the 2.5 degree polished sets. Well Home Depot had a deal of the day last week and wound up with a couple extras 🤫. They got the job done. After using these, I have to find 2.5 degree rachets 😬. I often wonder why I still...

    I saw it on several news channel home pages. Here's one of the many videos about it I found when trying to verify it. It is on the internet so it has to be true 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=woTy4dTiT20

    Speaking of AI. Did you read where one of those AI platforms under development went online and ordered a robot from China that it was able to program and control. It had cameras and a vision system. It was delivered and stopped from being able to be activated online when flagged by receiving...

    First one of the year

    I almost mowed over one today. Finally dry enough to mow the bottom of my hill and found one all curled up in the tall grass. Took it a while to stand up and then wobble off into the woods.

    Z421 Normal Operation --> Start jumping battery to starter --> No start at all

    My Z726 blew the main fuse a couple years ago and did the same thing. Fuseholder was under the seat with a $8.00 pink fuse blown. Replaced the fuse and all has been well since.

    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...
