...fixed it for you...

Lots of advice so far. But I'll just focus in those first 5 words. Since ruts are an issue, I'd start by angling my box blade so that it cuts on the 'outside' and then I'd make repeated passes up and down the drive to pull inward that gravel that's been effectively wasted in or near the...

So, for me the task at hand was to get Wi-Fi to cover an outbuilding where I park my car. It's only 200' away from my shop, so I found that a CPE-210 mounted under the eave of my shop roof (which puts it only 7' above ground) and pointed toward the outbuilding works fine. The path is wooded...

Yeah - I don't know about 'mesh'. Mesh has complications I'd rather not deal with. I have a simpler setup to my nearby shop. I set up a CPE510 that points toward our house. The house just has our main fiber gateway with internal 2.4/5GHz router. The CPE510 connect nicely over 5GHz to the...

** Special Note - And this post has been created by xAI's Grok3 after I fed it the above text and asked it to edit it for the audience here. Curious how it lands on you all** Get Started with a $50 Experiment The TP-Link CPE210 is a small, budget-friendly device (about $50) that boosts your...

**Special Note - This post is written by me, a real human - not an AI Chatbot** Again, for anyone wanting to extend Wi-Fi, it's best done emperically, that is, it will take some tinkering and some experiments. I'd start with a single CPE-210. You'll learn how to set it up, and what 'range'...

Good question...

The CPE210 can be configured as a general access point. In that configuration, it will allow any Wi-Fi device (phone, camera, laptop) to connect wirelessly. However, using it that way means the device end of your link is degraded by whatever crappy antenna and positioning that device has...

I think that one is obsolete, replaced by the CPE210 I mentioned above.

I don't have any experience with the Arystone system. But, I've designed RF stuff professionally for >30 years and have some personal experience with Wi-Fi through the woods. Read and understand this page - real line of sight requires an understanding of the Fresnel zone...

Strange. What are the critical dimensions of the part you need? (ID, OD, length)

So what do you think about using the tractor's hydraulics for this instead of a dedicated PTO-driven pump?

I know - just suggesting a pressure relief valve as a safety measure. I'd expect the pressure to be quite low normally, unless something gets jammed...

I'd be inclined to select a motor with enough displacement that it hits the desired RPMs with the full flow your pump can provide. You'd end up with a motor having more displacement (and thus torque) than needed, but a pressure relief valve would effectively limit the torque, if needed. That...

Assuming there's another remote, seems like it'd be worth considering.
