    electric fencer

    It has been seven years, hard to believe. I was able to find the issue with my Super 100- when I powered the property up on my backup generator, I first energized the barn where I was standing, but not the house over concerns with electronic items. Little did I know I was about to blow the...

    dying 1020

    I had a small beetle-like bug (earwig) get flushed into my fuel tank, likely from the nozzle of the bulk tank. It caught in the hard steel line just before the lift pump. tractor would idle fine, run the PTO, then run out of power half-way down a row of grapes with the sprayer at full throttle...

    Curious

    Typically 1300-1500gpm. We dont really have indication on lake water input as it mixes in a retention tank with system effluent recirculation, in a terrible design.

    Thanks for giving me my first effort at posting a picture to the new forum!

    in floor heat question

    Mine is oxygen barrier PEX, designed for in-floor radiant heat systems. The manifold uses a compression-style fitting, unlike PEX plumbing types that are stretched or use band clamps. Stuff is tough, and the inner fourth of a 1000 foot roll has a bad memory of small loops. I took more than a...

    in floor heat question

    We just poured the concrete in my new 40X80 shop last Tuesday, 6+ inches thick, 5/8" PEX tubing stapled to the foam insulation. Right about 62 yards with a 4X40 apron-despite my best efforts and months of spare-time work, my grade was no where near as perfect as I wanted I found plain...

    Is operating a hand clutch a lost skill?

    Its been decades since I used a hand clutch, and I own two JD two cylinders (MI and 40) I am confident I can, when I get the next chance to do so. I felt a bit that way when my buddy's son taught me to drive his semi tractor- he just slipped up and down the gears, no clutch, like it was an...

    Curious

    Lakos cyclone separator followed by Suez Ultrafiltration and Titan Reverse Osmosis units, GE Water Electronic deionization followed by two levels of resin bead polishing demins. Takes water right from the Lake and purifies it so it will not conduct electric current. About 800gpm output.

    Dec. 7, 1941

    The guy who farmed next door to us was a plane mechanic stationed at the air base near Pearl Harbor on the morning of the attack. By his mid-60's he was nearly deaf from all years of engine noise from planes and tractors alike. The only thing he'd say about December 7 was "A lot of folks had it...

    Restored Oliver 550 at auction

    Hi, guys. I saw this 1960 Oliver 550 on an online auction site I peruse regularly and thought someone here might be interested. I have no connection to it, other than experience with Repocast. I can vouch for them as a top notch auction business. The buyer premium can be down to 13% with cash...

    Knee replacement

    I'm really interested in this process, of course, the ortho dismisses it as bunk immediately. (IF I use this option he misses another yacht payment.) I thought the $8500 price tag was a bit high, but now I understand you CAN pay with HSA funds, contrary to earlier reports. This post was edited...

    Machinery Delivery Memory

    Growing up, the only new tractor on the farm was built three or four years before I was born (a JD 1010 of all things). As close as I could come was the annual arrival of the grape harvest crew of our neighbors. They expanded operations every year for the last 50+ years and almost always...

    2023.10.06 "Extra" Pic

    Let's just use round numbers, and say the average North American farmer makes $80,000 per year, just for math's sake. A new JD combine is likely north of $400,000, or five full year's worth of earnings. In relation, did the brand new 55 combine cost five times what farmers were earning back...
