    NC weighted tags

    They are trying to make it so that those who are adding the most wear and tear to the roads pay a higher percentage for the maintenance and repair of those roads. It doesn't make sense for someone who is driving around a 500 lbs smart car to pay as much as someone who is towing 35000 lbs of...

    NC weighted tags

    As in all things it probably depends. You get a cop who is short on their quota of tickets or the kind that peaked in high school and is now on a power trip they'll do whatever they can for a gotcha moment. Most of them probably won't bug you if you are toeing the line ( i.e. towing a load of...

    NC weighted tags

    From a different forum it says that the weighted tag # has to be Greater Than or Equal To (Vehicle Weight + Cargo Weight + Passenger Weight + Trailer [RVs exempt except if used for business purposes]). So with a curb weight of 5668 to 7526 lbs + 200lbs for you and another 250 for fuel. So if the...

    Lamenting not needing dream tractor

    I'll bring this to a 3/3 tie on the poll. While your current goals may not exceed the use case for a SCUT, if you have room to store the size bigger, based on the description of the property the larger frame will only make the work you do with the tractor go faster. Since you are getting a...

    Manuals Library

    Manuals are copyright protected by the people who write them. Unless Kubota or any other brand was offering the manuals for free it would infringe on the maker's copyright protections to do this without consent from the author/manufacturer/publisher. Not saying that people don't scan and then...

    Are You Going to? How many? What Kinds? How Often? - ROFLMAO

    I think the liability they are worried about is negligence or malpractice and the ones it would come back on is the doctors not the Pharmaceutical Companies. If the doc knows you have a preexisting condition that could cause an allergic reaction and gives you the shot anyway if you die he/she...

    Sale of tractor taxes

    If you are selling it to someone to use as part of their business then I am fairly certain it is a tax exempt sale anyway.

    Seeding "tools" - row planters

    I remember there was a thread from a while ago I think early 2020 maybe 2019 that someone had a similar question. I don't remember exactly what it was so I can't find it. I remember TTWT bought a 2 row planter that actually fits behind his 1 series JD that he uses to plant corn but I think it...

    Source for decently fitting kitchen cupboards?

    I think the current style of cabinet came into vogue not because they are cheaper but because they have a cleaner look to them. All of the hardware (except the handles) is hidden and the stoppers on the inside keep the wood from sticking to itself when it gets humid. If you are willing to go...

    Have you ever "got a great deal" only to find out that it really wasn't?

    For me renting vs owning tools depends on some stuff. Like if I am planning on doing the same kind of work again or if it would be a once every 5 years or so kind of thing. Like for me it makes no sense to buy a tile saw for a project that will take a 3 day rental and then it would get stored...

    Have you ever "got a great deal" only to find out that it really wasn't?

    Just something to note. You also got a completely new pump for the pressure washer with a higher pressure rating than the one you compared the price to online. If that pump is an upgrade then the entire pressure washer new would have been probably closer to 500 not 450. Also you could be only...

    one hot water heater.. two buildings?

    As long as the pipe can retain heat you should be ok. So on top of the insulation and heat tape you could also put a couple of straw bails up against the pipe on either side sandwiching it out of the external air. So on windy days there isn't a wind tunnel created in-between your house and the...

    3901 vs house demolition

    Does your county have any burn restrictions? Are there any trees or large swaths that might catch if you burn the house yourself? I remember my uncle wanted to get rid of an old barn to put up a new steel building. His fire department didn't do burns but the dnr would help you develop a burn...

    Bought my first Kubota. Was it a mistake?

    Glad everything worked out for you! Also you'll definitely get to use it for turkey season. As a note though, it might be a good idea to remove your name from any correspondence you post. Not because you'll get sued or anything but there are some weirdos and scammers out there that if they know...

    What do you use for a grill

    I use a Webber kettle grill for the most part, or my Coyote Smoker for grilling. I can't say that I'd use my trailer lift gate. Especially after knowing where it has been and what has driven over it. I guess if I were desperate I might try and find a nice flat rock somewhere and use it after...

    How good is alternate energy?

    That's because when they built the windmill they didn't pay for the optional items for them to deice themselves. Here in Iowa there are hundreds of these windmills that operate in temperatures below 0°F without issue because they use the heat created by the generator to heat the blades above...

    Credit Rating Nonsense

    I'd believe that. Just the only time I actually had to have one because my car was stolen in a city pretty far from where I lived they required a credit check before I could rent one. I didn't really have much of a choice in the matter, which is why I filed it under emergency because there...

    Credit Rating Nonsense

    No, I knew who you were talking about but some of his listeners (aka some of my relatives) take him way to extreme and have no flex on the use of credit. So I thought I might mention it isn't some huge boogey monster if you use it responsibly or as an emergency fund you'll be fine.

    Getting started welding

    So as far as gas vs flux there are pros and cons to each. Flux's main advantage is ease of use. You feed it, complete the circuit and start welding. I believe you can also get different fluxcore spools for different types of steel so if you wanted to weld stainless you change the spool and away...
