    Welding thick metal

    Stick or MiG will work…. Assuming you are not welding in a windy area. High winds can blow the shielding gas away. Concur with bevel and pre-heat. But don’t forget that weld heat can and will pull material out of square, so make sure you have it braced well before you start! I would use MiG...

    Mini excavator auger for a BX23s backhoe

    They make different size augers that require different amounts of hydraulic flow, and can run different size bits. If you want to try it, check the specs and get the closest you can to your flow and pressure. Just as an fyi if it turns too slow it won’t remove dirt from auger, you might need...

    steering to the left constantly

    Cars typically have a very slight toe in to help them track straight. your tractor probably doesn’t. Assuming both front and both rear tires have matching air pressure, it may just be as simple as the crown in the road. Assuming it always pulls one way on the road, but fine in an open field...

    3-Point core aerator?

    I am far from an expert on aerators, but I had extremely compacted soils when I purchased my property in 2011, and all the research I did indicated aerators that removed a plug were best for soil health. Key factors from my research and limited experience are unit weight, type, cost and build...

    KX040-4 vs KX 121-3

    KX057 isn’t very likely to fit into dump trailer unless it’s very big with heavy axes. Even if you can actually get it in the dump trailer, most likely you won’t get the balance right.
