    Pirahna Toothbar for Breaking Up Ice

    Need a plow blade with an ice blade. Its a really hard grader blade with vertical slots, tears up the ice. They use them here as well as sandviks, a special blade that uses replaceable tips that turn as they move along the ground. Sandviks are expensive,the ice blades are reasonable.

    Help me build a giant Tool Box on WHEELS for my Kubota and many other projects.

    Actually, hanging stuff on the door adjacent to work area isnt a bad idea. I would incorporate a sliding track to raise it to working height in tool habitat. Keep in mind,up and down steps can wear on a person. I do a lot of work requiring the use of a step of sorts, i really feel it at the...

    Chains?

    Think turfs will be fine. Trouble on the ice? Sprinkle some sand/gravel that you stashed in the garage before winter set in. My choice would be a rear blade.both ends can do the work. I see it saving a lot of time if its doing someting when reversing.

    Hogs

    One of my favorite internet videos is Helihoggin,but i dont think they recover them for food. A few years back someone attempted to open a game farm,they got out. So no licence was issued but a big game licence was required.

    Help me build a giant Tool Box on WHEELS for my Kubota and many other projects.

    Re: Help me build a shop ON WHEELS for my Kubota and many other projects. Quite a plan. I thought about a similar thing years ago, using a school bus. Pull out shelter at rear, folding stairs and a lot of lighting. Bench full length, locking drawers with dividers in a couple for hardware. Vise...

    Kubota still fits

    Did a small modification to my small garage where kubota hibernates. Found a double opening patio door and installed it outside of my overhead door. Double sealed from the wrath of winter. Gives me light and an easier passage into garage without leaving big door open all day. Side entrance is...

    Oil spraying out oil fill port on Briggs & Stratton

    Excessive blow by, nope, bad rings equals smoke. The garbage dump mower i use a few times a summer runs but smokes under load. Was a lot worse but i tightened the cylinder head. It was loose, suprised it ran at all.

    Paranoid?

    You cant be too prepared. Not much for power outages, if it does go out i can use generator to power the water system that supplies 7 houses. Give them time to fill buckets and whatever. I use my generator to power my welder when im working in my storage building so it gets used often. Power...

    Wood burners?

    Did a tour of an outfit that built biomass boilers. Interesting stuff. Chunks were 1" and smaller. Boiler had multiple chimneys and auger flyting inside that turned at preset intervals to clean the heat exchangers. Designed to run at specific temperatures to keep from corroding firebox and...

    Pulling force

    Dragging a stump like that is asking a lot. Winch synthetic rope is great in the fact it wont kill you if it breaks. Thats it. 3400 rating is for a rolling load. Add an incline or a snagged stump and power requirements increase exponentially.
