    SSQA landscape rake?

    I cleared out the perimeter of an 8 acre field using only the pallet forks on my BX23S. It's amazing what they can do,once you get into it ! While a grapple is available it's heavy and requires a 3rd function kit. Perhaps an 'option' to think about.....

    Tachometer on dash not displaying properly

    How did you 'clean it up' ? Old skool tachs are based on mechanical clock tech... so they need to be properly cleaned and very.,very lightly oiled with 'clock' oil not '10W30'. Low reading would indicate 'drag' or 'friction', so could need to be cleaned again and once more for good luck. It's...

    FWIW... My brother's been shuttling customers for local Chevy dealer with their batteryBlazer. Supposed to get 500KM on a full charge. He gets just over 100 KM in this 'cold' weather ( -10*C). Says it's great in the snow, cause it's so dang heavy !

    B7000 series hydraulic cylinder housing metal type for welding?

    The best way would be to have someone use a hand held spectrometer gun to analyze it. Without a PROPER analysis you don't KNOW which 'aluminum' it is,so the repair might fail. Any big 'shop' either has the gun or KNOWS who does.

    In the end it's whatever works best for YOU that really matters. So far no EV pickup can replace my '97 F150.

    BX2360 under bonnet

    easy to repair. you can buy 'kits' of a hot iron and special wire Z strips to bond sections together Then use the CORRECT 'plastic rated' epoxy/adhesive For additional strength add a layer of f/g mesh and more epoxy. The under bonnet should have a triangular symbol and number or 3-4 letters (...

    yeah ,they're great...old ones are noisy (constant thunk...thunk..thunk.... ), not efficient and low volume. not suited for the huge amounts of water needed for a power generation station though. There's lots of plans on the internet for them nowadays !

    to pump water up hill you need 1/2 PSI per foot. Say the 'head' is 100ft, that'd be 50PSI pump required + losses and such, so a solid 75 PSI. Now decide on how many GPM you need to 'refill' the reservoir to replace what you used. It's a numbers game.... 1000 cuft of water is 7,000 gallons, a...

    Pretty sure that one of those Physics Laws we were told decades ago says it takes MORE energy to pump the water back up to the reservoir than what you can get out of using it. If that is still true, then someone has pull a great con job that 'pumping water uphill is a money maker.

    seems California wants to road tax everyone, including visitors to their fine state. read your odometer coming in and then back out, bill sent in the mail. maybe cause ICE MPG is so high and lots of EVs, so not getting enough taxes at the pumps ?
