How Not to Change an Oil Filter

|

All I can say, is that kind of ducking 🦆 sucks. Make me want to cringe. I mean for reasons like that and because the dealership is so cheap to change the oil, I don't change the oil in my truck myself anymore. Not worth the time. Obviously if I had other equipment though, I'd probably change my own oil.🛢

Swedish Homestead – NEW Stihl MS500i – Chainsaw Review

|

The world's first saw without a carburetor is here. Meet the Stihl MS500i. The "i" stands for innovation and injection. The acceleration is extremely fast and the power to weight ratio is amazing.

This is one impressive saw, for professionals, or at least people where money isn't a limit. Fuel-injection is the future everywhere, and probably will lead to a much longer life to the saw, and easier starting for sure.

mikep7810 – Preparing For A Storm (with a PTO Gen-Set)

|

I had never seen a PTO-powered gen-set before. Obviously, it's a piece of equipment that makes a lot of sense for a dairy to have, as they already have big powerful tractors with PTOs to spin a gen-set -- and lost of grid power could lead to spoilage of a lot of expensive milk and a lot of hand-milking. Mike Price does a nice job explaining how the PTO-powered generators work, and the backup switch they use to switch the load over on the farm.

I was fascinated by the various milking machines in this video being demonstrated at the farm show. I guess they were more mechanical and robotic.

What do you do with during the great arctic blast in Northern Michigan? You could ride snowmobiles or paint snowbanks black with carbon by rolling coal on them. It might even make the snow melt away faster!
