    Advice on technique rocky ground w 743

    I live on a rocky piece of property. Recently I was doing some skid steer work and realized that the best way to get rocks out of the ground was by using my forks. Simply angle them down and pry. It probably even puts less stress on the machine since you get to incorporate leverage. Once you get...

    Put on Solar and it was just turned on Yesterday around 11am.

    Nice enough day. Partly cloudy. System generated 57.4KW yesterday. I think I missed some peak hours in the morning. I am hoping to get close to 100 tomorrow.

    Repurpose old Bucket

    I was thinking some other uses are possible. I have an old fisher plow I think homesteader or even before that with the cable joystick. Could weld up some mounts? But for now I can move some of my trailers around.

    9 Ton Equipment Trailer

    I am thinking with the correct nozzle it could spray just about anything. I bought that trailer and unit because I needed to put in a lawn. I have been using it twice everyday to water. I can get almost the entire lawn from the perimeters. I only have one impulse sprinkler in the middle. I fill...

    9 Ton Equipment Trailer

    Everything you said is totally true. That trailer is Too big for that Yukon. No doubt about it. With that said, people do things that are not within the letter of the law all the time and going two miles down the street with a zero turn is much different than using all the time. Anyway I have...

    Hour meter runs continuous if battery connected.

    I suggest you video this and document it. Later when you decide to sell the machine you show the perspective buyer that the meter is or was faulty and suggest that there are way less hours on machine than the meter indicates.

    1989 632 screaming on turning not turning well - need help.

    So I sold this machine today with full disclosure. Guy paid me cash and wants me to deliver to him. Machine ran like a top while he was here and started with one click of the key. After he left I decided to load the machine for transport. Don't you know the freaking machine won't start! I don't...

    9 Ton Equipment Trailer

    No question about that. But, I would never consider towing 9 ton with Yukon. Suppose trailer empty is 6,000 and I want to move my mower a couple of miles or pick up a refrigerator add 1,000 pounds, that is only 7,000 pounds and 10% of that is 700. I have an F450 to move heavy loads.

    9 Ton Equipment Trailer

    Regardless the information was still very logical. If a person were building a trailer or even just wanted to verify the axle placement. Suppose I jack up this trailer and place jack stands under center axle on both sides. I should be able to determine the tongue weight by adding weight to the...
