Charles,
How would you process the wood? as in drying to avoid cracking, how thick to make the slabs? I'd like to make a few things likewise, but to buy one kiln dried slab of oak is stupid expensive like 150 iirc.

My dad has a RTV 900 Kubota.  He has over 4000 hrs and only fixes things when they break ( read min maintenance).  It has wet brakes and no belt drive.  25 mph top speed, will climb like a goat and can pull whatever you hook to it. Only limited by traction/ weight of unit.   The smaller units  (500cc) don’t have power steering which is a must.   Just my opinion.

If you can score some plastic pallets you could screw some 5/4 deck boards to it. Maybe 8x8 or 8x12 andstack them up when done. You could also cover with outdoor  fake grass / carpet.

    Ken,
       It’s been awhile since I did the insulation thing.  The first time I spread 20 plus bags by hand and a metal dust pan.   Didn’t know you could use a blower.   School isn’t free, gotta learn somehow.
Seems like we used 20 bags with the blower and piled that up deep.   It’s been 20 plus years. And my memory is good just short!

73 bags should cover 50’x100’ 10” deep. And you want to use 186?   How big of an area are you doing?   Also this should be done in the summer when you  can enjoy being in the attic

Currently stuck in upstate NY should finish this weekend.   I'm looking forward to having a couple weeks off.

Tex,
How about two RR ties longways and jack up the end with a bottle jack and put some 1” conduit under for rollers ( like the Egyptians).  A couple come a longs should move it pretty easy.
You’re not lifting 10k just moving some of it.

Nate,
Have you checked out the 19.5" trailer tire conversion?
16" 14 ply tires for my dump trailer were 200 each. But I could have got 19.5 tires and rims for 400 each at Discount Tire. Diesel power mag did a story about these a couple years ago and they had good results on their trailer.

Isn't the rules of trailer ownership that if it fits it ships.   Such as  if you can fit 5 pallets it should go?

The retrofit source has the Morimoto relays for light bars. All of the stuff they sell is first class. A bit pricey but works good.

FJ,
Do you or anybody else have any experience with the Harbor Freight inverters?
I'm needing a new unit for my work truck to run an overhead AC unit and was wondering about quality.

Tex,
Try "Five acres and independence ".  It's an old (1940's) book but the information is solid and gives good info for gardens and distances between fruit trees

Bear,
I have a L3600 kubota with the "Glide shift".  8 speeds on the left and forward and reverse on a "turn signal lever".  It's good for loader work and tight places.  Manual trans are a pain for loader work but good for straight pulling.try test driving a glide shift if you can find one

84
My dad has the kubota RTV 900. tough and reliable.  Wet brakes mean mud does not bother them.  No belt. Hydrostat drive.  Small diesel, dump bed, and it has power steering.   It will only go 25 but he has pulled wagons or trees around.   For the four seater you will have to go to the 1100
Kinda pricey but it works good

85
its been a couple years.   I have the hand held device and the cables that plug into the truck. i will have to check with ATP to walk me through it.

86
So I get the recall letter form GM about replacing  the front passenger inflator module.  I try to schedule the work and the KID on the phone at the sevice desk tells me they will have to hook it up to the main computer and refresh everything. Meaning erase EFI Live!   is this normal? or am i overacting?

I have a 361 and a 291.  The 361 / 362 new version is the better saw as it is the pro model and cuts pretty well.  Now for the big trees I have the 056 and the 090 man saw
My opinion is 362

  I have a Generac 26K peak / 17500 continuous portable that i keep in a shed and roll out when we lose power ( usually about 3-4 times a year).  we have used it for 8 days at the longest  usually running for a couple hrs in the morning before work and  6-10 hrs after work. I use a 50A welder plug in and backfeed the panel, just have to make sure and flip the main to unhook us from the power company. It usually averages about a gallon an hour using it like this and will run the AC or the water heater or the dryer but not all at once ( ask my wife how i know). Its too big for my wife to move out to use it so the neighbor has to help her set it up and 50% of the power outages happen when I'm out of town working.  if i had to do it again i would go with an 11K or 15K  whole house stand by and let it do its job.

Ken,
Thanks for the input. I ordered one from an online gm parts place( can't remember the name will post it later). According to them that is called a lock not an actuator for that door. I'll let you know if it is the correct part and the p/n.
