I would disregard the smartset feature and dial it in manually... For the steel in the picture, I'd go balls to the wall... 45 amps. for speed... yeah, you might have to move faster.... it's a learning curve.... when you see it blowing clean through ... you will know. Also most definitely...

for Tick control I spray 3 times a year spring/summer/fall I only spray the willows once in the spring.

Gotcha. Lesco crosscheck is Bifenthrin (y)

What product do you spray? I have been using Lesco Crosscheck .... seems to work. also use it for tick control.

Brilliant. Every spring I have to spray my Hybrid Willow trees for Plagiodera versicolora ... (willow beetle) I use a back pack sprayer but they grow tall very fast.... might borrow your concept next spring.

I agree with ditching the ballasts. About 7 years ago I replaced all my garage and basement 4' T12 florescent tubes with LED tubes (110v) I haven't had a lick of problem with any of them. They are super bright and turn on instantly ... I think I went with 5 or 6000K ... whatever...

Like they said, You don't need a press. but if you want a press, I second the HF suggestion... I beefed mine up by adding corner gussets and stuff.... I also added the HF air over hydraulic bottle jack.... sure beats pumping it by hand. Before I had the HF press I used to use my wood...

Also works good when you are fabbing a rear fender on a hardtail chopper.... don't ask... :ROFLMAO:

yeah, I think so.... but notice is is dragging through basically 3/4" process... :ROFLMAO: it wouldn't last 3 seconds in New England....

I saw a guy on the Youtube who took a long section of thick angle iron and chained it to the bucket with chain binders.... then ran the tractor in reverse..... dug a nice little trench.

Good point.

Rebar to the rescue.... has probably been used in more applications than the original intent. :cool:

cool. should be a fun project.... I've taken on a few projects like that in the past. It consumes me (mentally) I drive a truck all day and never listen to the radio...... some guys think I'm nuts but I just tell them It's a "thinking mans truck" :ROFLMAO: I try to never go with my...

Not familiar with the John Dow tanks but be aware of the vent size also. the larger nozzles are high flow. If the vent is too small you will get soaked when filling it.

Can't help you on the PF plans but my $0.02 is it would probably be easier to find an appropriate size backhoe attachment and then fabricate mounts or whatever necessary to mount it to your tractor... probably be cheaper in the long run especially with the price of steel and hours of labor...
