Thanks man...Thats the only reason I made it, because it looks evil...hahahahah
Both of the MX tractors I ordered came with bolt on cutting edges and I think that's a local dealer thing. I ordered an Everything Attachments Wicked cutting edge for the MX so had a spare Kubota bolt on cutting edge. I'm a pack rat for steel so kept it around which turned out to be a good thing since the M6060 didn't have a bolt on cutting edge or any holes for one.
Another tool that’s been on my list to get, lol maybe I need to change how I buy tools… get the small ones first , then the big ones like tractors after lol
30 years later and he still tells that damn story every time we throw a few back.
Those pics put it in perspective for me.
That's a lot of holes in fairly thick material.
It can be done with a drill, but damn that would suck.
I know you already tried a Mag Drill and I have never used one, but I'm wondering if you had it in reverse. only getting through 3/4 hole makes me suspicious.
Believe it or not this has happened to me.
True story: I was drilling a hole with an air powered drill, and I was pushing and pushing on the drill as hard as I could and it's smoking like a bitch, and I'm pouring cutting fluid on it and it's smoking up the whole shop. My buddy walks by and watchs me for about 5 minutes. I decide to change out the bit and the same thing happens.
Now sweat is rolling down my a$$ crack cause it's 95 degrees out with 99% humidity...... and I'm smoking up the whole shop with my new bit, figuring this is some special "super hardened" steel ..........Just as I go to change out the bit for the third time, my buddy smiles and says "hey dumb-fu@k..... you're in reverse"

, honestly it was in forward speed, and I think this particular Mag drill is not a very good one. The guy at the rental place told me if the magnet does not turn on grind down the area so it’s fresh metal and it’ll work, so I had to do exactly that. But while useing the handles the mag base wanted to come off the steel with very little down pressure. My Employer’s maintenance department uses them all the time and they work great! But this one I think it’s F*@ked.
Sounds like you need to make a thread…. Pass some of that info along.
That is a good friend. I probably would have watched you suffer a bit longer!Those pics put it in perspective for me.

That drill looks very nice and yeah they are very expensive $$$ and rented it because they do cut straight. Disappointed it didn’t work out , But I talked to rental place and they said they would reimburse me! That’s a good rental place, hands down
I've had that happen to me with a drill press when I first started at a fabrication shop. I was fresh out of welding school and the guy showing me how to run the press kept reversing the rotation without me realizing. I figured it out eventually but not before the "new guy" was made to look like a moron!30 years later and he still tells that damn story every time we throw a few back.
Little did he know, but one of the old timers was turning off the power to his bench via a breaker, and the new guy was told that there was a wiring issue so he had to tap on the conduit to get the power working again. It was amusing hearing this going on for a couple of hours and being in on the joke. I guess the other part of it was that I was no longer the "new guy".
That's hilarious!!!The next new guy after me spent most of the morning banging on some electrical conduit near his bench with a hammer every time his angle grinder stopped working.
Oh, definitely a good enough job.
