Iowa is still open as far as production goes. Schools, restaurants and bars are locked down and stores are altering hours though. My work is starting to go to shift rotations to minimize people on site as much as possible, while still running full tilt for food production. During the at home...

Great to hear. Now you need to save the pallet so the next delivery you can just move 900 lbs of it to the other pallet and move them both with the tractor if you wanted to.

As far as Nuclear Waste is concerned there are new reactors that reduce the half life of these materials from 100k+ years to <100 years. --https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/11/171114091213.htm So what that means is that old spent fuel can now be used for an extended period of time to...

The whole point that I am trying to make here is that Tier 4 or 5 or 86 has been put in place to make air cleaner to breathe (I'd rather breathe than suffocate) and that it pushes innovation in a direction that it would not have otherwise taken in a timely manner. The whole EV debate on how...

Yes we do already have gasoline stations, so what these companies would do would be to offer gas stations to work as battery exchanges as well. it would be and add on to their current building, would not need underground tanks, pumps or the regulations that come with. They would need banks with...

Now don't get me wrong. I do love cars. I love all cars from hybrids like the 918 to electric like the model S to the monsters that dodge looks at and thinks 'I bet we can fit 800 hp in that' and promptly drops in a v8 with a whipple. If I could I would own all those cars but the point that I...

Additional "Juice" can be produced. I am a strong advocate for Nuclear Energy but that scares a lot of people because they see movies and hear about Chernobyl and think that it will bring the apocalypse. I agree the range is trash and recharge times are too long but remember 15 years ago when...

I understand the storage and maintenance issues that you may have with a fleet of equipment, but maybe in your current situation 1 piece of equipment just is not up to the tasks that you need from it. Maybe if you bump up to 2 pieces of equipment being a B series (if that fits your loader and...

At the end of the day people don't like change but change happens. We no longer have carburetors that you can rejet in your garage on a saturday because mo powah but you have to spend the time with an OBDII writer to retune the fuel input. Instead we have cars that surpass 175K miles on the...

From this source published in October of 2018: http://www.servicetruckmagazine.com/features/tier-5-emissions-standards-not-expected-anytime-soon/ It will be quiet some time before we see any Tier 5 here. Remember that the current system was started in 1992 and took until like 2016(?) to get...

I didn't have mine filled until about 6 months after owning the tractor. With a bucket 1/2-3/4 full of 3/4" stone you could feel that the back end was very light and made the tractor tippy. Since getting them filled I also keep my finish mower or brush cutter on the back and the thing is...

Re: Is the sky falling? Well if you go onto Amazon you can still buy it so there are stocks of it out there. The thing about Walmart (and bulk stores like Sam's Club and Costco) is they keep as little stock of items as they can and rely on deliveries a few times a week to replenish what they...

Re: Is the sky falling? True, but it is probably also a misconception that if the country falls into anarchy that gold, silver, or platinum will be worth anything either. That is just something that people with large amounts of gold to sell say to build the price higher. In the event of a...

Re: Is the sky falling? Really now is just the time to not panic sell if you have any investments. Take any income and start building a "war chest" of any money you have to spare and when the drop starts coming then just put in a steady amount every month or so in an index fund (S&P, NASDAQ...

I believe this applies to most every career. All most people see who aren't doing the job is the end result and the people who do it making it look easy.

I couldn't really care less what sort of accent there is on the other end as long as I can understand them. The world is getting closer together making things more available and cheaper to all of us (hence all of us owning a Japanese Tractor(s)). The part that annoys me is when you have to go...

If you don't want filled tires I'd go with something like a suitcase weight bar on your 3pt. There are some you can buy from places like heavy hitch and there are videos on how you can make your own if you have the ability and equipment to do so. These systems allow you to put as much or as...

I keep all the safety switches on my stuff there. The way I look at it they aren't idiot protection but complacency protection. You hear of people getting seriously injured doing routine tasks due to complacency. There are even a few threads on this forum of roll overs or PTO injuries that have...

Literally all of that stuff is determined by the administration of school districts, as well as state and federal institutions. Yet it is the teachers fault? Teachers don't set the budget or how things are spent. Teachers don't choose the curriculum or the books that are used, who the vendors...

The teachers not making any money is not entirely false. The average income for people with 4 year degrees is $50k (keep in mind that has extremes of those who get rather useless degrees and end up working for well under that and those that get astronomical salaries as well). Teachers who get a...
