    Haven’t seen Xman in a while. He used to post here quite a bit. Maybe he’ll chime in.

    In my case it’s a Bandit 1390XP.

    Frozen feed wheels

    Yeah that might help. I think water was running down the back of the chute and under the lid to the drum. But after a long day it’s just one more thing, ya know?

    Frozen feed wheels

    We don’t really do anything to prevent it. Requires a fairly rare weather pattern (lots of rain followed quickly by a huge temp drop) and I’d imagine the drum happened to stop in exactly the wrong place for the pocket to fill up like that. I think that was 2019. Never happened since. I like...

    Frozen feed wheels

    Had this happen a few years ago. I also had to leave a job. Tried the propane torch. Was stunned at how slowly fire melts ice! And of course I discovered that propane cylinders will quickly freeze up. I resorted to an electric heat gun and chisel. What a pain. One idea we came up with later...

    22 year old died in Florida yesterday.

    Unpopular opinion probably, but I see value purely in the shock of witnessing it. I won’t forget this video, but I’ve already forgotten dozens of “near miss” videos. This is the kind of thing you can show a young kid and make a lasting impression. They never think it’ll happen to them and this...

    Gosh, I can’t help but think this might be a slight overreaction. As usual, you beclown yourself. Quite the keyboard commando. If you only realized how much of your character you just revealed you might be embarrassed. But probably not.

    Feels very strange giving this comment a “like”, but I certainly understand your point. Similar to Dale Earnhardt.

    I suppose my only take on that is that every country on earth has borders that were established as the result of conflict at some point. As long as people have existed they have fought over land. This will never change. In fact it will get worse as populations grow and farmland becomes more...

    Climber vs. Lift

    I think he’s referring to a hydraulic or engine failure. If the truck quits it’s a problem, with the worst case being an engine fire type situation. I doubt every operator carries a bug-out-bag every time.

    Climber vs. Lift

    The Rivian R1T does 0-60 in 3.2, which beats almost any Ferrari, and the Cybertruck did a 1/4 mile faster than a 911… while towing another 911. Most bucket trucks will be slightly slower than this, and most climbers slower still. ;) Sorry for derail, I’m a car guy.

    Climber vs. Lift

    Depends what kind of pruning. Thinning? Climber wins. Pruning tips all around? Bucket wins. General answer is bucket is dramatically faster, easier and just more efficient. If it weren’t, thousands of companies wouldn’t spend millions of dollars acquiring them.

    Absolutely agree. Worth noting they were also screened for their likelihood of becoming a “public charge”. But the point is that it was a self-limiting system, since there were only so many ports of entry. Essentially, waiting in line and following our laws works. Between 1892 and 1954 about...

    Horrible example. Guess what every single immigrant who passed under the Statue of Liberty did next? Stopped at Ellis Island to be documented and screened (for disease, for skills, for education, etc). That would be called a FUNCTIONING BORDER. No one is opppsed to controlled immigration. No...

    If you want any kind of border, you’re gonna have to vote Republican. You noted that each state should have the right to decide who’s on their ballot. Called it federalism. Accused repubs of not being consistent on the matter. I noted that the recent Dobbs abortion decision merely returned...

    Sounds like the left regarding abortion. Dobbs gave us federalism. Why did you fight it? “Military age men” is a term used in immigration law. Not sure why you’re hung up on it. Question just for fun: why does every nation on earth have a border (that they vigorously enforce) except one?

    Not to derail too much, but I suspect you would not be very keen on hundreds of “right wing militias” being established in order to satisfy the first clause. Because we can’t vote for 50 different presidents. What are you referring to? His civil fraud trial?

    Nothing is crystal clear in constitutional law, unfortunately. For example, I think the second amendment is airtight, especially the second clause which is unassailable. I’m fairly certain you disagree. Of course, this is all madness and would open a Pandora’s box of utter chaos in our...

    I would say that a lot of people underestimate the efficacy of just mowing. As long as it’s not too wet and the leaves aren’t a foot deep you can just mulch them with a good mower. Chopping speeds decomp and returns nutrients to the soil, as well as keeping your yard ship shape without...

    And the workarounds begin! Reminds me of this: Sometimes the solution is worse than the problem.
