    Positive thoughts for your #1 fab/magician. I'm really glad to hear that you will be able to keep cranking them out. These kits are awesome! Thanks for the update Mike. (y)

    Heron?

    I strung some bright green 50lb test fishing line every 3-4 ft around the edges of my pond. I strung it up on some of those steel fence posts. Heron have a large wingspan and will get discouraged the first time they get tangled up in it. I got the idea from a nearby garden shop that had a...

    Replacement parts

    Not from personal experience yet, but other folks have indicated that rubber floor mats helped quiet the HST noise. I plan this upgrade in my near future.

    Reloading the loader. Couplers won't connect.

    While you do need to connect them, you're not working against the pressure until you turn in the screw. They should not be difficult to connect as long as you have the right size and type.

    New to tractors question.

    Extra lynch pins, large slip joint pliers and a BFH. I often wish I had room for a pry bar. Sometimes you just need that little extra ooompff!

    Kubota L1-382 hst - issue with lifting implements up

    Since the front hitch is hydraulic, try moving it to a different position. Especially if it's in the all the way up position. It could be using available system pressure to keep it there.

    Cellular security camera / trail camera for weekend camp..?

    Reolink doesn't provide the cellular service, or the wireless SIM card, just the camera. Just like when you buy a phone, you choose what network you want to run it on. Your provider supplies the SIM card. It depends on which SIM card you use. You could get one through your cellular phone...

    Cellular security camera / trail camera for weekend camp..?

    I would just like to add that the Reolink I referenced above does check all the boxes you requested. It works remotely where there's no power. You just need good cellular service. I have mine setup with the 128GB memory card and I don't use the cloud. This is because I'm cheap. If you use the...

    Cellular security camera / trail camera for weekend camp..?

    Reolink TrackMix 4G LTE. I've been using one to watch my orange baby for over a year and I've been happy with it. I have experience with them but don't have time for review right now. I did research them for a few months before I bought the first one. I'm getting ready to buy 2 more. The...

    Grapple options for the L2501/LA525

    I had the same impression. 1/4inch plate seems a little thin to me, even if it is AR400. It's like a big skeleton but it seems solid. There are a couple of videos of Tractor Time with Tim giving it a workout. It looks pretty solid in action. He said he noticed a little flex in the middle of the...

    I don't know, I'll have to find out. I'm not sure what the hourly rate for a tech is these days, plus the machine. If it's not too bad I might find a way to swing it. I was thinking about bringing it in to have the tires filled. I was playing a bit of 3-wheeler last summer. LOL I plan to at...

    Thank you for the pictures Rodd! (y) It's nice to see what it's going to look like once I finally get it installed. The fit of those updated pipes look so... professional! They look like they belong on a show car. LOL I received mine in time for Christmas. It was my Christmas present to...

    Grapple options for the L2501/LA525

    I've been researching grapples for my new L2501 for a few months now. Cost versus performance dual lid folks seemed to like the MTL. https://www.mtlattachments.com/tractor-attachments/new-compact-vertical-root-grapple Personally I've got my eye on the Precision manufacturing dual lid Big Mouth...

    Another thing I just noticed in those latest pic's, is what looks like a new custom adapter for the oil drain fitting? I know you mentioned doing something like that earlier in the thread. Is that currently in the development phase, or have you worked something out? There's also a tractor in...

    I'll take it! :) Any Dynos yet with the updated pipes? Also, I've been wondering how you calculated the increase in HP? My numbers come out much higher when I when use the same formula I use for figuring out my stock gains. How much adjustment did you need on the waste gate plunger doohickey...

    A pond algae question

    There needs to be a balance of bacteria for a good ecosystem that attract frogs and such. Normally one would add what is considered beneficial bacteria to keep the pond from turning green. Although just because a pond is green, doesn't mean it's out of balance - you just can't see the fish...

    Which came first, the chicken or the egg...... Spun tire off rim.....Damn it!

    I'm in the PNW but my front tire doesn't look like that. o_O It's still new but I've sure put the front loader through its paces.
