    Need opinions on a new riding lawn mower

    For those that have JD X series or older with plastic hoods... After years of experience with them here is how you can help prevent cracking them. A large majority of the time the cracking starts in the middle top part of the hood when people pull up on them. Instead of pulling up hard in the...

    Need opinions on a new riding lawn mower

    Find an older JD X310, X320, X340, X360. You can find one with lower hours for $2000 or less and it'll out last anything new you buy from the big box store.

    "Ethanol Free" Fuel, May Not Be

    This is not new (and not a "scam") and has an easy solution, it doesn't need to be complicated. Fill up your vehicle or pump a few gallons into your vehicle and then fill up your gas cans. This has worked well for me over the years.

    New tool thread

    You have to be careful.... It cuts very well and you can create hours worth of work picking up and hauling in 15 minutes of cutting lol. Balance could be a little better, I used a 5ah battery and wasn't to bad. You'll want to use a bigger battery to help balance it.

    New tool thread

    I bought a dewalt 20v pole saw. I wish I would have bought one years ago. Will replace a chainsaw for 90% of my stuff. One of those tool where you look back and regret not spending the money before.

    Tire selection for small zero-turn

    I was actually just looking at these in 24x12x12 but held off due to lack of reviews. Please let me know how they work. These look like they’d be great for winter work. Any pics of them mounted?

    Kawasaki FR730V 230 cca supplied battery

    To clarify this is for the group 51. This is the battery size on most Deere lawn mowers specify (older X4 and 5 series, now X590 and up, including the 102xR series tractors.

    Kawasaki FR730V 230 cca supplied battery

    The 550cca is not a type as Kawasaki is referencing a Group 51 battery CCA. The FD731 in my X540 takes the same size. Sure helps starting in the cold but is definitely double to triple the cost. If you never have to operate in winter temps, I'd just go with best U1 you can find. Everstart and...

    Switched from T-Mobile to US Mobile

    I've been on USM Warp 5g (verizon) for 6 months now with no issues. If you travel internationally, their premium GSM 5H (tmobile) plans has 10gb of international data and native roaming. You can switch between verizon and tmobile plans in about 10 minutes. Super slick and can actually take...

    Anyone here use Amazon fire stick?

    I've had roku and fire sticks. Neither hold a candle to the Apple TV device. If you have apple products, they're worth the extra money and last forever. User interface is so much quicker and snappier than any roku or firestick, even when using the ultra or max versions. I have a roku from 2018...

    Expert recommendations for 2.0 ecoboost

    Here are some UOAs from my two 2.0L ecoboost engines in the edge and fusion. 0w-40 vs 5w-30 did not provide too much of a difference in wear, granted the 0w-40 ran double the oci. 2016 Edge...

    When do you install your winter tires?

    Depends on the year based on the outside temperature. I keep an eye on the 10 day extended forecasts and when the highs are going to be consistently below 50f the winters get put on. I also keep an eye out on the low temps for frosty roads.

    Goodbye T-Mobile-Hello Google Fi

    We recently switched to US Mobile. They run off of Tmobile or Verizon towers. Priority data too. $25/month for unlimited data ( 30gb priority) and 5gb hot spot. We haven't noticed any difference from post paid Verizon. I've used Fi in the past but with recent changes, they're not as good around...
