Crank that idle up more, it's a diesel, you should hear less whining on the hydraulics when grabbing a bucket full. But, then again sound on a video can be odd or distorted.
I was around 2k. The clips were recorded different times with different idle speeds though lol. I been experimenting with different RPMs.
With my initial thought of butt welding the receiver to the blade, I took a 2” or so hole saw and cut a half moon out of the lower portion for dirt and rocks to fall out of.
As a fellow new guy I think you did great!
Yeah on the tractors, if you hear additional whine when operating the hydraulics under load, crank up the idle even if you need to get upto the min pto rpms, get more flow going. Always got to get a feel/hear for that sweet spot of the rpms and performance.
I want to buy better hearing protection, something more comfortable that I can use also when mowing and with the trimmer. Something with a radio wouldn't be a bad idea but then again..don't mind hearing the smooth sound of the diesel either, it's better than year a zero turn's mowing deck for 4 hours lol. It almost makes me fall asleep. I like over the ear stuff, I don't like things inside my ear that's why I have these Shokz wireless headphones, they're awesome but don't block any sound which is what I use when I go for my runs.
Having spent already like 12 hours just plowing alone I think has made me feel more comfortable with the functions, especially using multiple functions. One thing is for sure, the bucket is WAY lighter than the snow plow, I can feel the difference big time. But like I said, I have maybe 45 minutes to an hour or so of prior experience with the bucket before the snow started to fall. I did manage to use the bucket during a brief warm up during winter that caused my driveway to get extremely rutted and I felt like I did a good job then. Having the level rod helps hugely!
I use a set of 3M worktunes Bluetooth headphones. They are my second set of Bluetooth-style hearing protection. The first Amazon specials were ok, but these are much better. They block out the noise of the zero turn or tractor, but I can hear my music or take phone calls without having to cancel out the noise reduction by having the speakers on max.
Sweet I'll check them out. I noticed the Kubota dealership has Kubota branded hearing protection, just what I need more Kubota branded swag lol.
I like my ISOTunes Aware. Since I'm usually working with family at the farm, I like when the noise levels are less, they allow it to pass through, but when it hits 85db I believe is the level, they shutoff and act like normal ear plugs. Keeps me from taking them in and out so much throughout the day.
My sawmill is designed to saw up to 21'. That being said, I have sawn 29', but there is much manual labor involved.
Yes we did one beam that was 30' and that required a reset, and yes a ton of work!
The 3Ms are great, I've got 3 pair of them. Had to buy extras since more than once going under trees they got knocked off and met their fate under the shredder.
I almost lost my phone and drove over it with the tractor haha, good thing I stopped in time. Just part of the fun I suppose lol.
