I use the flappy discs a lot. I really like them. They are my "go to" for anything abrasive related. Seems to be a good company with good products and good pricing.

I use 3/8 most of the time. I rarely use 1/4. I use 1/2 often. The 1/2 stuff is always used on farm equipment, and old international scouts, which are always covered in rust. The only time I use 1/4 is when I'm working on the pilot or the civic. And rarely in tight spots, if needed... I own...

60v 9 gallon. I have a bunch of their tools. Highly impressed.

We have a greenworks shop vac. Works on batteries or via cord. I also have a 5hp shop vac. I find myself grabbing the greenworks. I would recommend it with a good conscience.

Awesome! Thanks! I had a bunch of SK sockets ive been meaning to order. The code worked!

I finished this one up a little while back. I still have a few things I need to do, but it's operational. This is an old speedaire 80 gallon tank I had. I connected it to the 33 gallon CF tank I was using. I bought the HF 5hp compressor and automatic drain. I found the baldor motor online. I...

I don't have any SO screwdrivers. I do have the blue handle and red handle vessels with the striking cap. Personally, I am not that impressed with them. I will use my green Wera screwdrivers first. I hate the way they look, but the have excellent tips. Much better than vessel, IMO. I also...

I have a lot of ridgid tools. I have a fokd away table saw that I love. Strong, easily tucked away, and accurate. I also have a ton of 18v tools. 1/2 impact gun 3/8 stubby impact gun Impact driver Drill Reciprocating saw Nailer A round sander A square sander 3 flashlights Multi-tool 3...

Yes, oil will kill grass. Especially when mixed with diesel fuel. Back in the day, my grandpa would just dump it out around his shop. Nothing would grow there. Stop by any old diesel mechanic shop and you will see the same.

Vinegar will kill grass, but the stuff you buy from stores is pretty weak. You can get highly concentrated vinegar on amazon. Mix it with salt in your sprayer until the salt is dissolved. I have a 4 gallon sprayer, and use 1 gal vinegar, and 1 cup of table salt, mixed with water. It will...

IME its impossible not to have a misc drawer/bin/box. There will always be little doodads that have no home. Odd hardware, or whatever. I have several. But I try to organize those, the best I can. Even still, I have coffee cans of stuff, without a home.

You are right. I should have clarified.

Our concrete prices in NW Arkansas are crazy. Walmart is building a new "campus ", and hogging all the concrete. It's been hard on contractors. And impossible for joe homeowner.

Another thing to consider if you buy a new tractor. You will have all that DEF stuff to contend with on modern diesels. Older tractors dont always look as pretty, but they will work circles around newer tractors. 30k is a very nice budget. You could get an older 50hp tractor, trailer...

Because I like the light they bring in....the thought has definitely crossed my mind, tho...

This is the boat I am in. I have 6 acres of pastture, This is what I would do.... from what I've read here I'd get a ZTR with a 72" deck and an older 50-80hp utility tractor. Something like an International 784 with a decent 2250 loader. Get the mower for cutting grass. Get the utility...

I definitely wouldn't put a window near my work bench. That would be a total disaster in my shop. My windows are 4 ft off the ground. I hate them. The take up valuable wall space. Go up at least 8 feet. I am constantly kicking myself for putting my windows so low.

Now, if plywood could follow suit. Still 50+ per sheet here. Osb has dropped off bigtime.

Thinner metal, and more plastic. These days,You dont need a 5/16 or 3/8 bolt to hold 2 pieces of plastic together. And high torque on this thin metal would no doubt warp it. I generally use 3/8 ratchet. But it depends on what I am working on. My IH tractor? 1/2 drive. My scout or mustang...

From a practical standpoint, I wish I would have: 1. Floor drain 2. Hot and cold water. 3. Put my windows up higher. At least 6 ft from the ground. They take up a lot of wall space. 4. Insulation. 5. 220 outlet Luxury: 1. Mini split 2. Taller ceilings. I have 10 ft. I wish I had 12ft for a...
