So just to update this. I went the route @BruceP suggested and got a small and inexpensive 12v pump. It works really well, much slower amount than I would like but it will suffice for now until I upgrade to one of the larger diesel pump kits. Also of note, the guys at the auto store gave me...

To drill into this a little deeper, I guess one of the questions floating around in my head is what is the difference in one of these and the drill pumps in as far as how they are built. I'm assuming it's all plastic components between the two. I know harbor freight says it's just for water, but...

Point taken, I do use brushless though.

I'm not sure the best place to put this so if this isn't it feel free to move it. I was given a very barely used Flo-N-Go gas caddy. The hose was hard as a rock because it sat around for so long so I replaced it all and cleaned the tank. Originally I was hoping to be able to put a little air...

I looked for a lot of inspiration for this online in different forums so I thought I would throw some pictures of what I did in here in case it helps someone else down the road. Note: I only use the aerator in straight lines and have it in the slowest gear so I don't torque anything...

Just as an update for anyone that comes along I finally got a solution to this. In the off season I ordered new Bolts and Greaseable Scalping wheels. I replaced all of them this spring and a few of the original bolts and wheels were worn pretty bad. Put the new ones on, greased em up. Here was...

Just a mid winter update for anyone that tries the trailer jacks like I did. If you get the harbor freight ones, zip ties don't keep the wheels from floating up or down. As they spin from use they will adjust. Usually this isn't a huge deal while plowing, but I do reset the height for a fresh...

I have a bxpanded plate on it's way :) But thank you for the tip, I already bumped a rock last spring and busted the seal on the hydraulic oil filter and spewed it all over the lawn. After that I've been waiting to put the order in on the guard for underneath for when I don't have the Mid mount...

Awesome, thank you very much! Excited to use it on our brush this spring that has been neglected after we built a couple years ago. Nothing real thick, but don't want it to get much past what it is now so I can keep it under control.

Hey guys, Got a King Kutter XB rotary cutter at our local stock and field that is going out of business. By the looks of it, it has been there for quite while so I got a pretty good deal on it. I have a Kubota BX2200 that I plan on using it with. So in light of the fact it has sat so long I...

No problem! I just used it yesterday to clear a few inches off our concrete and then the asphalt millings drive. It worked 100x better than the setup last year. Flipped the wheels to the side to clear the concrete. Then put them back in place to do the rest of the drive with millings with no...

My biggest concern with not going with grade 8 would be longevity/rust build up. Other than that I would think even the zinc bolts should be strong enough might just be rusted up after a number of years. So my biggest concern with this setup is the wheels. With the gravel drive I think they...

Final build is done. I'll be working on the other side tonight. I know some of the guys were asking where to find the plow bolts, I as well had a horrible time finding them and settled on bolt depot dot com. All the rest of the bolts, nuts etc I sourced locally. So the difficult part was making...

So I've been doing some work on this. here are some pics of what I have so far. I'll try to give a little more detail once I have finished if people are interested. Crossing my fingers that it works.

Yes that is exactly what it was. It was right at $40 bucks if memory serves as well.

Also if you look close you can see he is using the pvc pipe method on his rb2060 in that picture as well and that looks like gravel underneath.

So I was just doing some dinking around on amazon and harbor freight to see if anything spurred some inspiration. I have totally avoided trailer jack products as I assumed they wouldn't cut the mustard. But look at this picture I just came across at the following link. Would that be possible...

Yeah it was an awesome idea. I had to shop around a couple TSC's in my area as a lot were out of the 3/4 in thick mats. As another tip I just used a new box blade and cut it, worked really well especially with something like a 2x4 under it above the cutting line. The mat would flop down as it...

This will be our second winter at our current house with a pretty long drive made of asphalt millings. Last year I added skid shoes to the blade to keep it up off the drive. However when setting the rear blade at an angle the skid shoes take that same angle as well and dug in substantially into...

So I finally mowed today. I started by dropping the scalping wheels by a slot and I believe that made a huge difference. Now it still is high enough that the deck is not resting on the wheels but the circles seemed to be cut down by a lot. Here's a comparison photo. I also when looking at the...
