    disposing of wind turbine blades

    Out here, the schools are all getting into the solar power game. Hell, they can’t run the schools and now they want to save money by being energy generators! To prove how stupid it is...in a school near me they just installed 3.5 m in panels to save 40k a year. The bonds are 20 year bonds and...

    Educate me on hydraulics (top n tilt / remote hydraulics)

    Yeah. I had the valve set for TNT plumbing in-line thru the backhoe...so I could operate my hydraulic thumb. A little leak down...not really an issue. When I took it in to get the BH rams rebuilt...the dealer suggested getting rid of my set up and adding the factory valves plumbed off the...

    Educate me on hydraulics (top n tilt / remote hydraulics)

    I had the factory valves installed and they leak constantly. I have another set that I need to swap in...we shall see if they leak too. OP...make sure you look at the valves...make sure they are not leaking where they mount or between them where they bolt together. Run the tractor at the...

    Pa gun owners

    As a lifelong Ca resident, I can attest that once the door is open...you are screwed. Look into the roster we have here for handguns...designed to eliminate new gun sales over time. Look into our incredibly complex laws governing Assault rifles as well, whatever the hell and assault rifle is...

    Trailering the Tractor

    This is what I did. My dump trailer is a 14,400 rated trailer, tagged with a 9,990 sticker. I wanted the extra duty drop axles and comfort knowing I would never get near the limit. I bought upgraded radial tires too. No way I am risking my life or others for that matter over a few grand.

    Trailering the Tractor

    I have a 3/4 ton Chevy HD...and tow a 14,000lbs rated dump trailer with my L2800. I bought a tongue scale to adjust my weight distribution hitch...and the trailer position of the tractor with implements. Tows great, stable and with electric brakes...feels safe. However, in high elevation over...

    Cutting steel with a circular saw

    Milwaukee has a circular saw M18 fuel for cutting metal. I like you, was skeptical at first....now, I hardly ever use the plasma for cutting sheet material up to 1/4”. That circ saw cuts it clean and easy... As mentioned, don’t keep the blades once they lose their sharpness...just move on to...

    So Greta isn't Greta

    Tornado... Here in Commiefornia...you would be laughed at, ridiculed, doxed...basically called a bad person. Why? Because you are being practical, articulate, accurate, reasonable and basically using common sense. These days, having lived here over 60 years, anyone who is not on board is a...

    Exercise after 60

    I started about 20 years ago...lost about 100lbs and have kept it off. I ride or indoor cycle if the weather is crap, about 5k miles a year. I do stretching for about 30 minutes most days...some of it is to stay limber due to surgery of shoulder. The stretching has kept my back pain free for...

    Quick Attach Front Snow Blade

    Looks good...but be careful of impacts to the blade/loader. That has no shock or impact take up... I like the concept...not sure how to “hang” it with springs or some buffer... Post some more photos of the build/mounting of it...maybe have to figure something out for myself...:rolleyes:
