Good moning everyone!

 

@Oldie2007, didn't you buy a tiller not long ago? Which one did you get, or am I thinking of someone else?

 

I did in 2020, and it paid for itself last year with all the foundation work.
Electric torque! Turn it over to clean blades and nothing spills. Always starts!
I love it, and it stores small too.

I thought so, wife is wanting one and I told her to go look at Mantis...Works well on hard ground?

 

Yes, the area where the old greenhouse was was packed solid. Takes some patience to let it dig, but when it does, it goes like an ice breaker. And it is very light, so making multiple passes doesn't kill you. I never dread saying "I have to till something up" anymore.

 

Good to know, I didn't recall you getting an electric one but I'm sure it works fairly well. She wants one to work around her plants for the part of the yard we are extending to.

 

I certainly think this is an ideal tiller; the ONLY hard thing to do is adjusting the wheel height - which is really simple when you get the hang of it. It's small enough to work around existing plants, only 25 lbs.

 

Cool, thanks for the input

 

Anyone in SA willing to trade their 3rd gen stock offroad wheels/tires for my 3rd gen sport wheels with 265/70/17 bfg ko2's. My tires have a lot of miles on them but still have tread. Just liking the offroad wheels at the moment.

 

Not sure if anyone still has there's for a 3rd gen, but maybe @07taco still has his as he has aftermarket wheels, also @pixelsailor may still have his not sure.

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

Good Morning Fellas

 

Not a problem

Morning Mark
Not much today. Few chores around the house and cook this evening.

 

Good deal, going to wash the truck and the finish putting grass down in the yard. Wife ordered two pallets the other day....

 

Sounds like fun.

 

Yep right up there will all the weed pulling....

 

Morning Maner!


Well, troubleshooting the pond and greenhouse loads brought me back to the main GFCI in the string yesterday. Gave all the wiring a day to "dry" from the rain (just in case - but it's all new). Turned off the circuit, and sure enough, it burned it's line side neutral. No way to tell if it got loose over time or during this summers rework; since it wasn't a load issue, most likely the connection itself. All better now.


They don't work when the smoke gets out.

 

Well I hope everyone had a great day today...
