    Air Filter Cleaning?

    I bought 3 pack of donaldson filters for my bx 2380 last year from online - around $15/each. I also added secondary air filter per the same video from Messics . In the video, the OEM filter is made by Donaldson. I don't recall how much, but filter from dealer cost more than $15 each for the...

    BX 2380 at 99.7 hours - anything I should especially be looking for?

    At last use, my bx2380 was sitting at 99.7 hours - time for that 100hr service. Other than the usual 100 hour maintenance (https://www.kubotausa.com/service-support/maintenance-schedules/check-points-maintenance-schedule) does anyone have any other items I should check while I'm at it? I...

    Toolbox Hot Items

    Other than suggestions already - Water, Ear plugs, a hat, tinted safety glasses, sleeves, sunscreen and a towel / cloth that is big enough to cover the black seat when when it's in direct sunlight. Doesn't take much for that seat to heat up and set your rear on fire. I know, not really tools to...

    Solar battery charger for tractor

    It's good that some companies do provide good information and don't force users into situations where they unknowingly cause issues and force them to buy new products. Unfortunately customer service isn't a high priority for some companies- those that do are where I like to spend my money. Dan

    Solar battery charger for tractor

    Nature of AGM (and lead acid) batteries. Lithium batteries (which are way more expensive) can generally discharge between 90 and 95% whereas AGM batteries can typically handle up to 50%. Using an app for the controller which has a blue tooth module, I can check the voltage. for AGM batteries...

    Solar battery charger for tractor

    Just curious why you didn't go with larger panels and battery bank (especially since you mentioned running LED lights? Obviously there's a larger upfront cost for batteries + panel + charge controller + inverter (if you're not running all 12v). I have a shed that I have 2 x 100Ah AGM batteries...

    Ballast Box

    I knew it was a titan attachments box as soon as I saw it - it's the same one I have - only mine is red. I got a deal though, I ordered a draw bar with suitcase weight attachment and received a ballast box instead. Back in Aug 2020 it was 145.98 with tax. Dan

    Impressed with the BX capabilities!

    That's the primary reason I bought my BX, I was tired of changing drive belts in my mower about every season and it slowed to crawl on some of the inclines, but my BX never slows down even when mowing. It's an expensive mower but then you start seeing more and more tasks (especially the...

    Lennox Heat Pump Woes

    Makes me wonder if the rust is due to high humidity? Is the unit it a temperature controlled space or not? Also, wonder if it would be better overall regardless of brand to be kept in a temp and humity controlled space? Just some random thoughts. My unit is in unfinished garage/basement...

    Lennox Heat Pump Woes

    Earlier this year I had new HVAC installed - A/C unit had a leak (amana) and furnace (Trane) was old (manufactured in 1984 per label). I moved into current house in 2015 and A/C unit was installed in 2013 if memory serves. I had many companies come out and quote from several of the big...

    Jonesered chainsaw refurbishment

    Since my eyecrometer isn't very reliable, I DO use a jig to sharpen my saws. I use the timberline - it's not cheap and since I've owned it found knockoffs for sale on amazon. Do post a picture or better yet, some videos of that old saw in action after you've gone through it. On a related...

    In market for budget welder

    There are a lot of welding videos online but I haven't came across anything specific to yeswelder, other than reviews. Weld.com has some good videos as well. Good one that comes to mind is one explaining welding rod choices/numbering. I C Weld is fun to watch, he's a heavy equipment welder...

    newbe initial review of yeswelder mig-205ds using 110v flux core (picture rich)

    I ordered mine from amazon and I didn't get a chart. That's what I like about the yeswelder, the auto settings are pretty good. I'm not experienced/knowledgeable enough to know any better, but they work for me. I believe the small warping in the door is due to them shipping some of the...
