It's nice you found out WHAT the problem was and have a solution. While I have great soil, neighbour 2000' away IS the 'terminal moraine' ! LOTS of every sized boulders and stones and clay and gravel and dirt.. Cannot use boxblade, it'd be destroyed...backhoe is the tool to use....

scrap ( mixed tin) is about 5 cents per pound ay the local yard, get 2 more cents an hour away.... I worked at STELCO for over a decade before USS bought it,gutted it, left.There were 10,000 employed now 200-250 ... so it's not just the Chinese that have dessimated the steel industry. Another...

yeesh $380 is about 500 Canucks, and I could easily make you FIVE 'forks' for that pile of coins.... really, printout a pcture or two of what you want, and your bucket, goto a local welder/fab shop. easily done in a day for maybe $150 ?

re: AS much as it does not make any sense whatsoever ...... well it does to me.. consider... Unless the 'chemical' used in the dye is KNOWN and properly tested withing the Kubots HST/ hydraulic system, you can't prove whether the 'dye' can or cannot 'harm' any component within the 'system'...

re: Our 5' light duty shredder died. OK, have to ask ...HOW did it 'die' ? Depending on mfr/model/etc... parts to repair might(well...should..) be cheaper than buying a new,unknown unit. A high priced of the product doesn't mean it IS better. The lighter duty 'fam store' units usually die due...

As others have said HUGE safety issue !!! if you don't think it is, fill the bucket to max, raise to max, lay underneath it, then have someone 'simulate' a blown hose by cutting it with angle grinder or sawzall or skilsaw..... Now as for WHY it happens, that's the way it was designed,engineered...

gotta ask WHAT failed in the dynamo ? Broken wire or magnet fell off ?

those 'sealing washers' need to be COPPER, they have to compress to actually seal.

Kind of a 'war of words', depending on what part of the world you live in... to me, in Canada,eh... dynamo, is a device with a rotating magnet and a fixed coil that produces power generator, a device with a powered field coil, brushed making DC power alternator, a device with a powered field...

yuck ! I had a B&S that wouldn't turn over.... tore it apart, fearing a broken rod...nope, several of the magnets inside the flywheel had broken off !! well at least one, it took out the next one, then that took out the next one...... Easy fix, replaced flywheel.
