It sounds dirty, though it's not.

There's a sample of what he does^^^^^^. It wouldn't work very well in print anyhow.
I'm no expert on Michigan but from what I saw it is mostly sand. Here it's all dirt and clay. The only way to hang up the auger is to push it into the ground too fast and not bring up some of the loose dirt. That's easier to mess up when the ground is still frozen. Easier to get right when there's a ton of slop in your bucket cylinder pins. Puts the weight of the bucket on the auger without pushing down on it with the hydraulics.

Checked Rhino's web site for the hydraulic auger we have, but they've changed the design, the motor's now over top a planetary gearbox.

Did some lookin on evilpay today. I can get all the parts for these two saws for about $160 (less bar and chains) and that includes a carb for the one that ain't run in over 10 years. So unless I can get $450 for them I'll be farther ahead to fix 'em.

In Smokey and the Bandit, when she's driving and the road's blocked, they are on a city street, go through a gas station lot, and the next time they show the Trans Am they're on an interstate. Then they're back on a highway when Sheriff Justice runs under the beam and takes the top off the car. Just noticed that.

In Jeff Foxworthy's book he says his dad would rush into a diner and say "give me a diablo sandwich and a dr pepper and make it snappy I'm in a darn hurry". Probably get you looked at funny today.

Got the amigo home today. Fired right up when it was warm out. Barely got out the driveway with the Dodge for the mud. Took it to Indianola, caught a ride to Cambridge from there. It will be easier to get to Indianola for the truck than it was Cambridge for the amigo. Should have it home tomorrow night.

Need to get upper control arms and springs under the Dodge. It's about impossible to drive over 45-50 on the gravel roads here. They are a bit soft (but not bad) with being in the process of thawing out.

I think Pale Moon's going in the trash and gonna go back to firefox. I got the latest version, the add-ons are up to date, and it keeps freezing up, and doesn't play well with AVG. Getting pop-ups now and then and it lets too many cookies through.

We have pure blue clay here just as deep as you can dig. 14 feet that I know of. Just across the street it's all sand. No rock tho. Where I come from, it's granite ledge just about everywhere. 9 times out of 10 you have to plan on blasting when you do a house lot or septic system. Drilled wells average 300 feet or more.

This will go in place of the bucket on the backhoe. I wouldn't be going thru all this if I had known that some tractor PTO's were reversible tho. I've had 10 or so tractors in my lifetime and can't count how many I've worked on and never seen one. Heard plenty of people complain that they were NOT reversible, so I figured they just weren't made. Can't really envision how they'd get them to BE reversible either, seeing as how they're usually driven off the input shaft of the transmission, before any gearing takes place.

That's what I'll have eventually. I want to make sure my thought process is on target before I spend 5 grand on an industrial unit. I'm going to use this thing more for breaking apart large logs to get them down to a size that will fit on my processor. I have a TON of 40" plus diameter logs that the tree companies bring me and if I can break them down, they won't go to waste.
This is what I'm aiming for:




I used to do contract work for this company, (http://www.cbi-inc.com/machines-equi...og-stump-screw), when they were first starting out and had only one guy in the service department. They're huge now but I still see the owner once in a while when I get back to New England. He's told me repeatedly he'll give me anything they build at his cost, any time I want it. I'm going to take him up on that!

Pale Moon is Firefox, it just has a bunch of the crud removed so it runs faster...my guess is you are running the free version of AVG and you are getting what you paid for

I like Bitdefender for antivirus about $30.00 a year and works great with every browser I try.

Look at my LEGGS!

I watched the video you attempted to post here and luckily you didn't get right as it violates forum rules.

You seem to have a problem understanding the rules I have shown you repeatedly regarding profanity on the forum....perhaps you need to take a moment to actually read what you agreed to when you registered here.

Once again I will post a portion of the Forum Rules YOU agreed to and attempt to make you understand....

You agree, through your use of the DieselTruckResource.Com forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, racially based or biased, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of ANY law. Legal actions can be taken against you. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you and you show proof of ownership or you have consent from the owner of the copyrighted material and you can show proof of consent. In addition, for the use of this forum, profane posts should be considered those completely spelled words, or partially spelled words with use of keyboard symbols that suggest a profane meaning. We repeat, profane posts will absolutely not be tolerated on this website and its forums.

The video you posted tries to "suggest a profane meaning" when there is not one there and as such is entirely the wrong content for this forum. If that was your intention when you asked if you could do the same thing here, then you obviously have missed the simple fact that we ask you to simply "Respect" the Mothers, Grandmothers and Children that read this forum daily by posting content suitable for such an environment.

We feel asking you to do so while allowing you to use this great resource for FREE, is a good trade....if you disagree and find yourself incapable of actually HONORING your commitment then we understand and will hate to lose you.

"We repeat, profane posts will absolutely not be tolerated on this website and its forums."

I honestly just don't know how we can make it any more plain than this....

You will note I seldom go to this much effort to try and keep a member when they fail to uphold their end of the bargain....This is the 3rd time I have gone over this with you and it is my hope that by doing it publicly you will finally take it seriously enough that we don't end up losing a valued member.

You need to chip the ice off them so we can see them...don't use the torch you remember what happened last time

squeak.........ennnnnnnnnnnnnn(door swing sound) hello? lo lo lo

Topper, yeah, part of the topic for my son was finding a match while working afternoons 3-12. appearantly, only the deviate ones are out then.
he's had enough short stick draws for a lifetime....being a granma would definitely make me go to bed at 6PM, lol.....

wow ed, shortround bruce!!!!!! love that guy. sending you both really good scotch.

had to take a look for ya chaikwabro, technically you are correct, as always.
shifter plate from well drilling rig is on top, puts gearing either left or right of the stationary gear. yes, better raise it often to clear out or get the pipe wrench. I just was amazed at the direct power on tough rock, how things can go bad- quickly. this was an auction item pickup....

remember all, sometimes humor reflects some pain inside to color our choices.....we can't see hearty laughs in typing, the real definition that everything is good!!! sun is out, make it a good day!!!
