Soo… humans with zero ability to teach how to dive-and-catch fish….raise ignorant seal pups … then toss them into the ocean to starve on their own…? How might raising puppy-dogs to young-adults and releasing them into the wild be expected to develop… Sharks might be better for them...

Without actually “being there”… it’s too easy to imagine my own methods would have been easier….but, of course that’s just over-simplification and unworthy of belief. (you shohld be congratulated for perseverance! That reads like a really frustrating experience.) I imagined that first, …a...

That’s the way I feel about “catch and release” when fishing. If it’s a size and species I like to eat….

Some tractor mfr’s suggest 20-25-degrees as the maximum slope for safe operations. (John Deere specifies 20-degrees) The Problem is: How much equipment does YOUR tractor have ABOVE the axles..?? This addresses the CENTER of GRAVITY of YOUR machine….. and there is no “standard” for measuring...

My experience with Biobor JF began in 1980 when I became chief pilot of a corporation that owned jet-powered aircraft. As chief pilot I was also charged with the oversight of the maintenance department of the fleet. The jets we operated were subject to regular X-ray inspections for corrosion...

Going “straight up”…a slope …can also result in a “back flip” … BACKING up a steep slope is safer, of course if that accomplishes the task.

I have a 2014 Kubota RTV (X900) diesel…and it’s reliable, strong, well-built…. but not fast… (20-25 mph tops)….so if you travel long distances on prepared roads…it won’t race anywhere, but it’ll pull hard and climbs some amazing rocks. The 4-seater RTVs such as the 1100 series are just as good...

Hold one UP and press the other DN….then clean and lubricate with penetrating oil….and service regularly with lubricant. ??

Not the same sort of tool at all, of course…but I’m pretty happy with not having to drag-around a long power-cord….or spend the money running a diesel tractor…. it‘s light and fits my hand and is portable for my back-porch…. and handy for getting a bonfire going. 🤓 I use a cheap Bauer 20V...

I don’t know about the olive oil you may have used, of course…. but it is well-known (or at least it Should Be) …that some brands of olive oil are counterfeit and contain oils other than from olives. The various Grades of olive oil are also sometimes mis-labelled as “pure’ or “Virgin” …when...

That’s the BEST use for a QH I’ve ever seen. If you need another you can have the virtually-unused one sitting in the corner of my shed for the last 20 yrs.

Here’s some “thread-drift” for ya’: There is considerable differences of opinion out there on how to care for cast-iron. The most common is “Never use soap/water” to clean it….because it “ruins the seasoning” . This is an old wives tale….the background of which is rooted in the 18th/19th...

The ONLY “performance data” ..I NEED…is How my Kubota does with it…. which is FINE. But the reports of those who use cheap stuff either never come back to report….or when they do…it’s not necessarily comparative. Just because someone pours cheap stuff in and no failure occurs over the next few...

No…not entirely correct, . in fact, it lists the chemical….and Also point out the LACK of hazards they pose. Read the Entire document. NO “marine hazard,” etc etc. (but don’t use it for eye-wash or personal lubircants, LOL)

Those type of construction are commonly welded at “points of contact” …rather than continuously…for a reason. Continuous weld creates a warpage that mis-aligns the end-product as the weld cools. For that reason a Jig is used to afix the pieces …and the welds are completely sufficient to...
