    Daily Chuckle

    Band Aids... Meh. Never unless the work is done. Electrical tape over a paper towel works best. And you can keep working. Just don't wrap the tape too tight. Works on hands, fingers, arms, knees, etc etc. Head wounds aren't an issue, just have to wipe the blood off of your forhead...

    Finding a water leak in a buried line

    Look where the grass is the greenest. But 4-5 feet down it may not make a difference. That's a deep water line. Like others said, put in a new line. 2 feet should be deep enuf. Edit: Never mind the 2' depth. Go deeper.

    M7060 mystery vibration

    Sounds too simple, but are your 3 point arms hitting the inside of your rear tire? That will have the effect you described to a T.

    Phd and not wearing gloves. I can still remember the blisters on my hands from back in the day.

    2021 Kubota BX1880 (Need Help Fast on Pricing)

    Pros: It is a good price on a basically new - 4wd diesel tractor. You know it's history. The tiller is far better and easier to use than your walk behind BCS... 100 percent easier. Once you go tractor rototiller, you won't want to go back. Sell the BCS to help cover the cost. Tractor...

    Skid Loader vs Tractor

    Get a big ol' M series. Then pave your driveway for less than the cost of a track loader and forget about it. But.... Who doesn't want a track loader? You could do your grapple and loader work 10x faster. 360 spin and fast. Huge hydraulic capability.... Unless you are mostly working on...

    Hydraulics are too fast, or Im too slow

    I own a LX2610 and use my forks all the time. As said before; lower your throttle, basically to idle, and move the lever Slowly. When you get the forks in the pallet and start to lift, then go up on the throttle. BUT still slowly feather the stick. It will never be as slow and forgiving...

    Hydraulics are too fast, or Im too slow

    Don't adjust the flo rate unless you are only using it as a forklift. As others have stated.... drop your throttle and gently move the lever.

    Hey, Dummy

    It could have been worse. I do electrical stuff. 110, 277, 480. I have mixed the wires a couple times on a long day and live to tell. Only small fires and a big flash for fun.

    Foundation Drainage Maintenance Question

    Hire a good plumber that can run a camera. Since there's clean outs at one end and daylighted the other they could go both ways. They are ways, and solvents to clear out concrete. So maybe something to dissolve hardened mineral deposits is available. The good news is, it is not under slab...

    A simple attachment for direct burial cable?

    Or We used these, vibrating plow pullers, but on a much larger scale for golf course construction back in the 80's and 90's. Ours were ride on, big machines. Vermeer brand I think it was. You might be able to rent a small walk behind unit. Very little damage to the grass.

    A simple attachment for direct burial cable?

    Or Take your box blade and remove all rippers but one. Set it as deep as you can and tilt the box for extra depth. Rip it good. Then after, hire the 14 year old to clear out the trench. Might make a mess of your grass tho.
