Greasing before using an implement: Gives you time to sober up. It's light outside. Gives others time to find you so you can solve their problems. You're rested so there's less chance of you getting hurt. You know it's greased if you just greased it, especially if you greased it six times...

Other forum members were pretty excited about NiLight (kind of like "nightlight" with a bunch of letters missing) so I bought that brand because for the job they were extremely affordable, though they definitely have shortcomings. The mfg claims 18W, and knowing they come from China where lying...

That's the thing, my BX doesn't have that tiny dynamo, it has a tiny alternator, so maybe it's more than 14A. 14 gauge wire (which is what the OEM wire "looks like" to me) will carry 35A short-distances (under 6 feet), though it will have a voltage drop and warm up. Should 6 AWG be used for...

I can't see the existing OEM wire off my alternator handing a 40A slow-blow circuit, 30A surge looked like it might be a lot, 20A continuous I could see (though I do need glasses), and having a 14A pump??? Kind of crazy, but the Japanese do know their stuff...usually (alternators often seem a...

Does one have to till hydraulic oil into sand? Seems a beach rake would be sufficient to "level your realm?" 🤣 ---- I would *think* Kubota probably geared the recommended 40" tiller for the tractor PTO, but do not have any experience with putting a tiller on a Kubota, I just happened to know...

40-inch FL1020 rotary tiller.

That makes sense given the tiny wire size and how small the electron pump is. Aux lighting on the BX is: + 10A fused/switched + 20A fused/constant - return wire (one) that looked to be the same size as the other two. I guess I'll have to monitor the current draw of the lightning I'm adding...

Aux lighting port out back is good for 30A, plus the headlights and glow plugs, fuel pump, and other stuff lead me to think it can power more than 15A, what's the main fuse rated at? My aux lights will draw at least 8A. Heated clothing is under 15A, but over 5A. Everything else that didn't come...

For his 3-point-hitch sound system.

Finally found a more reasonable solution to the stone-in-the-lawn problem: Wide skid shoes on a snow blower. Personally I'd use steel bar so the shoes last longer, but plastic can be a quick and cheap way to see what works. I made "wide" (though not wide enough for a gravel drive) steel skid...

Front Blade vs Front Blower vs Front End Loader

I have 12V wired Gerbing heated gloves, vest and pant liners, and a set of heated glove inserts, and two controllers that control two items each. No fairing on a chopper and riding until the first snowfall... No batteries to haul around or maintain and I'm always warm. I'll be installing SAE...

I was not a Kubota owner when this video was released, and haven't heard it mentioned so thought I'd share. From experience, the BX is more powerful and capable than I imagined a sub-compact tractor to be, other than the Front End Loader that seems a bit lacking. I personally prefer a "tiny...

Niel @ Messick's just dropped a video further explaining what/why/how the "blackout" is happening:

True. I did not intend to become 'old and crusty,' it somehow snuck up on me over time. :unsure:

When I get on a tractor I have a routine before turning the key: look at what position every lever is in, start at the furthest left and touch each one as I look at it and make sure it's in the correct position. It's like a check-list, I've refreshed my memory on the function of each, and my...

Likely tools: 1.) Shovel. 2.) Cheese cloth. 3.) 55-gallon drum. Can you imagine the fireball if that impeccable electrical system sparks?

Horse stall mats... Never knew they existed... genius!

Where does one acquire "Heavy rubber stall mats?"
