    The Lottery - Anyone hit it?

    I laugh when folks won't buy a lottery ticket because of "the math ", the chances, the principal, or even the "result if you win is bad". Most of us leave a tip for at least 2 bucks. Or two bucks worth of gravel gets wasted when you're grading your driveway . Buy a ticket. You'll most...

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. What was your favorite car?

    Ah, no real favorites but I'd have to say it's my currently owned 2017 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Shaker. Destroyer Grey. Btwn my wife and I we blow through back tires every couple years. 0 to 60 in 4.2. Top speed 182 mph.... so the spec says but I've never taken it over 150 mph or timed...

    Hydraulic hose Fittings

    I worked for a sub-contractor for Parker nearly 30 years ago for a very short while. I don't know if the QC is the same today, but nonetheless, it was excellent back in the 1990's. It was beyond comprehension because they build hydraulics for aircraft. I humbly suggest that in your...

    Global Warming

    That's respected and understood. But is climate change something we can actually change. Is it a real problem that mankind can change. Or is it a symptom of the earth's cycles that can't be changed or altered because we just don't have the ability to change it and mankind never actually...

    Global Warming

    The sky is falling for every generation. It is in different forms for each generation. @Watchmaker 's post reminds me of my parents generation of the stories of WWII and fear of Nazis and the Japanese Empire. In my generation of the 1960's and 70's it was the fear of communism and nukes...

    Rear axle lock ?

    With today's tech, I'd think that Kubota would install a worm gear style limited slip in the front like a Detroit Truetrac. I understand the foot lever manual rear locker because it's easy. But having an open diff in front is a bit shocking. Especially considering that Kubota is a top of the...

    Global Warming

    I, personally, won't argue that there is global changes. Even possibly global warming. I have issues with those who claim that it was caused by internal combustion engines. If we had a history of the earth's climate change for the past 10,000 years. Or even 2,000 years. One would see climate...

    Global Warming

    Some things are caused by humans. Some are not, but some humans think we caused it. We can't change the earth's axis. We can't change the weather much. But we can complain and blame. I see global warming as a issue that we have no power over. It's not caused by combustion engines. Its...

    I'm getting to the point of not wanting to let anyone use any of my things any more.

    I'm getting to the point of not wanting to let anyone use any of my things any more.

    I'll only loan out tools that I can live without. Or I come with it and operate it myself. Loaned my pickup to my own brother many years ago. It came back with a bent tie rod. I asked him what happened, he said it was like that when he borrowed it from me. That was a Bold faced lie. But...

    Online auctions and missed opportunities ...

    Definitely. Sellers screw up the listing and you gotta search sometimes with misspelled words or do a search less specific. I won a brand new factory jeep top on eBay a few years ago for super cheap. $500 for a $1,500 part. Minimum bid. No other bids on it because they mislisted it...

    L3902 vs L3302 horsepower difference

    That's interesting. What it this turbo kit you speak of? Is a Kubota kit?

    L3902 vs L3302 horsepower difference

    As others mentioned. Injection, tuning, or a different PSI on the turbo if it's turbo charged. It's pretty common actually. One of my past motorcycles was an 800, my wife's is a 650. Same brand. Same engine. The engines are identical 800cc engine. One made about 45 HP, the other 65HP...

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    My pooch was indicating an issue outside. My back door camera picked up a bear outside. Unable to download the video for some reason. I'm glad that I didn't open the door and tell my pooch to "Go get 'em!"

    Anyone know Solar? Help me think this through

    It's not that hard. Solar panel to a controller to 12V batteries. Go thru an inverter if you want 110AC. Don't, if you don't.

    Living in the past

    With minimum wage at $15.00 an hour in some places, a Big Mac hamburger is over 7 dollars. I paid just under 40K for my 2017 Super Duty 4x4, new in 2017.. today it's 60K for a new one. 150 percent in 6 years! This is going political because that's what it is. I expect the moderators to...
