    Projects you shouldn't start (and know better)

    Agreed, it depends which is why I used "I" because it is my case.

    Projects you shouldn't start (and know better)

    I find having distance between parents an in-laws great. First I always get a call before they come over because otherwise they risk showing up to an empty house. Second, I have time to work on my projects rather than spending my weekends and free time constantly helping them. Don't get me wrong...

    A youtube question

    Don't forget if you have a tractor that is smaller than his it isn't real and doesn't do any real work. His make money off of the dollars that his wife provides him to play with. Back on topic though. I think a lot of it has to do with the market that Kubota pursues. When you think Case IH you...

    HF

    Quite strange, everything around me (minus car dealerships) are full up on inventory. Even ammo on the walmart shelves. Guess it is good to be in the larger town that has all the stores of BFE sometimes.

    Thinking about buying a boat

    less big brother more so your privacy settings for cookies. For example if I were to be running around a car mall (lets be real the internet is part mall, library, and conspiracy den all smashed together) yelling questions about buying a brand new car that I wouldn't get a few sales people who...

    Thinking about buying a boat

    If you are going off shore you'll want at least a 28'+ boat (either cat or deep V hull no flat bottoms). Unless you are fixing to sail and have a putting around motor for when there is no wind or harbor use then you'll probably be stuck with gas or diesel. There are a couple of electric options...

    Tools, we never get enough

    I'm playing the violin next to you on said boat. working on planning out a new shop (when I can afford it) and am trying to decide if I'm going to stock up on woodworking or metalworking stuff first (after the 2 post lift that is). leaning towards woodworking so I can build new cabinetry for the...

    Astronauts?

    What does an orbit around the planet change? The ISS orbit earth every 90 minutes so let's assume the capsule would be 25% slower since it doesn't need to maintain orbit that'd only be like an extra 112 minutes is 0 g than they spent up there. They still went through all the same risks by...

    Got Pissed Today

    There is a stark difference between an emergency vehicle trying to save a life (or a limb) parking in your lawn or blocking your way for some time and a company (or private individual) blocking your drive. The emergency vehicle wants to get there and get out asap. The company, unless given...

    What does everyone collect or do for a hobby?

    In my experience "hobby" helicopters are significantly more difficult than planes which are more difficult than drones. gas vs electric isn't really that big of a deal. 99% of the time it is 2 stroke nitro that would be ran but nitro you get more run time and faster refuel electric you don't...

    What does everyone collect or do for a hobby?

    If you are looking to get into the hobby they have trainer planes that were (when I just about got one) between 100 & 200 bucks (there are cheaper ones but usually parts support isn't there or isn't good). It was like the Super Cub S, they have a "Safe" thing that will help avoid terrible...

    What does everyone collect or do for a hobby?

    I have a few RC Cars. One of them is a brushless electric that given the right battery could touch 50 or so. Then 2, 2 stroke nitro ones, the smaller of these is good for about 65 mph and can run a couple of hours on a tank, the larger and older one is a 4wd monster truck from the late 90s/early...

    Biodiesel in Modern Tractors

    The basics is you filter a cooking oil (veggie, peanut, corn, etc), heat it up to 130°F, mix in a solution of methanol mixed with KOH (don't know the exact ratios but that can be found on the internets), and then shake the heck out of it (think like paint mixer at Home Depot kind of shaking not...

    LED light bulbs

    Our house is all LED now as well. Granted we only have a couple dozen lights in the house so haven't really seen an impact but I do like the longevity of the bulbs. Our biggest energy saver so far was updating our electric water heater from the early 90s to on demand LP. dropped electrical cost...

    Biodiesel in Modern Tractors

    Well more so I would be looking into making it depending on cost of raw materials. However, before I go too far into the weeds I want to more so see what the negatives are running it on something newer.

    Biodiesel in Modern Tractors

    I don't know what I would be looking to try yet. I am trying to do a little research first before jumping in depth on it. I don't recall seeing anything about it in the manual but that doesn't mean that it isn't there and I missed it. Wouldn't be the first time reading got the better of me.

    Biodiesel in Modern Tractors

    Does anyone have experience with running biodiesel in a L01 series? I know it isn't recommended with new trucks or engines that require DEF. However, I'm curious where a modern L series (L2501 without emissions specifically) falls between the older diesels that would run on used motor oil...
