    Dangerous tractors

    I don’t know how accurate this is, but it was entertaining and I thought it would be for others and generate an interesting conversation. Video of dangerous tractors. https://www.facebook.com/reel/923992996678242

    Advice Needed: Buying a Tracked Dozer with Winch for 60 Acres - Budget Under $15k

    A lot of good advice here. I’d like to add that no matter what you decide make sure you have a rops to protect from falling objects and rollover. WEAR YOUR SEATBELT. Rops doesn’t work well without it. May I also recommend that you consider renting or leasing. It’s unlikely that the dozer...

    Auto darkening welders helmet.

    I had a cheapy. It’s okay and can get the job done but I finally pulled the trigger and got a nice one for $400. I can see the puddle far more clearly. Far more adjustable. Can weld gas to tig. Worth every penny.

    Explain this wreck

    Entrance to our road is on a slight curve, no passing, with a dedicated turn lane. I get passed all the time from behind, while in the left turn lane, traffic at the intersection, and head on traffic will attempt to pass there too. People are nuts. Also, it isn’t uncommon for people to use...

    Fluctuating Water pressure

    Our water pressure is all over the place. We have a residential well system, 1/2 hp pump, shallow well (about 30-40 ft). Sometimes the pressure is ok, other times it is blasting, and other times it is trickling. The pressure always seems okay at the spigot closest to the well, but can be...

    Hauling diesel

    Technically, it’s not legal and there are a bunch of rules governing it. I used to see the barrel thing a lot but hardly ever see it now. If you get stopped, it would most likely be by one of the compliance officers, the ones in the pick up trucks. Regular officers seem oblivious of most...

    idiot of the year award

    I had stopped for a woman and her small children to cross in town where the speed limit was 25. Someone blew by in the middle either direction turn lane and barely missed them. Still ruined my day.

    A fire is Big news

    This is the policy of most departments. Its on the wall of every firehouse in my district. 1. We Will risk our lives a lot, in a calculated manner, to save savable lives. 2. We Will risk our lives a Little, in a calculated manner, to save savable property. 3. We Will Not risk our lives at all...

    A fire is Big news

    Yes. We see that a lot. We had 60-80 mph winds on our fire. All the posts burned. It depends a lot on the posts, type of wood, age, how much flammable material is around them, etc. Its like my forge; I start at about 15 psi and its burning around 1500 degrees. As it warms, I can go down to...

    A fire is Big news

    I disagree, building materials make a difference. A metal roof alone will contain heat better than a conventional and will increase interior temperatures, especially in attic fires. Combine that that with a brick structure and the insulating qualities of brick and concrete and it will be...

    A fire is Big news

    Just because its cold doesnt mean it cant burn. Low temperatures, especially extremely low temperatures are very low humidity. Your fuel moisture content is very low and your PIG increases. Think about it, in subzero the doors on your home open and close easily and you probably run a...

    Studebaker Truck stalling

    We have several Studebaker trucks at the ranch. Im told this is an AA model. We were planning on taking it to a parade Sunday, but it stalls when braking hard or braking hard going downhill. My coworker theorizes a carburation issue; that there is a problem with the floats. Its all original...

    Lightweight trailer brakes; yes or no?

    Yep. Under 1000 empty. With the Honda generator, batteries and solar panels, Ill be 1300-1800. Definitely under the 3500 limit. It should be noted the original engine and generator were removed. This is the hollow shell of the light trailer. It was mainly wanted for the boom. Ive...

    Lightweight trailer brakes; yes or no?

    I am building a communications trailer out of an old light trailer that never had brakes. It will be way under the weight requirement to legally have brakes. Would I be smart to install brakes anyway with a deadman breakaway?

    What a deal!

    I thought some others would get a kick out of this. Obviously, the price isnt firm if its fallen by 50%. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/571558775185773/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
