Thanks for the compliments and very glad that you like it. The safety helmet is from 3M / Peltor. In this video I explain why I have chosen this helmet (above Stihl) and how it works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHuckoiOaKaFms0

Thanks and glad you like it!

He's not that stupid then. Free chickens at the neighbour. ;-) I have the same problem. A few days ago the hawk pulled out the bars of my smaller coop and took out a chicken. These birds are strong! In this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3Kllp-ceL2Yeqt9) it wasn't successful, but now it was. I have now created steel brackets to reinforce the bars to prevent the hawk from pulling them out.

In the mean time I have lost several chickens on martens in that coop. The only thing that protects them is the coop with these small bars like you see in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3Kllp-ceL2Yeqs. But a few days ago a hawk pulled out the bars and took a chicken. So now I reinforced it by steel brackets that prevents the bars from being pulled out. The story never ends.... My plan is to create a much larger coop using mesh panels instead of chicken wire type of closing. But that is quite a large project.

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries Thank you for your reply and the tips! 🙂 Yes, we gotta keep outsmarting these creatures 🙂 We have lived in our house for 30 years now, and have never had an issue with a predator, up until this marten. 😲 We only had a hedgehog 🦔family take shelter in the chicken coop 🙂 that was rather sweet, we let them stay, then they left on their own after a while.

@@tayori3ryokou Same story on this side. I'm having chickens all my life from very young age. Never had any problems with predators. Only the last few years this has changed. First the foxes came along; but a fox is quite easy to keep out. Then wild cats; a little bit harder but also relatively easy to keep them out. Next the hawks and other birds of prey; quite difficult to keep them out because you need to create a top side protection. The result was a strong decrease of chicken coop from 30 x 30 m to 3 x 3 m. Then the martens: normal sized wire fence they still can get through. Thus the mesh should be very small. So the chicken coop has now reduced further to 2 x 0.6 m, which was originally meant for protecting the very small chicks against crows etc. And even there they weren't safe since a hawk pulled out the metal mesh from the wooden frame, so I reinforced all meshes with strong steel brackets. So my plan is now to build a chicken coop from strong steel mesh panels with relatively small mesh widths. Not sure yet when this project will start though, since many other projects are still running as well. 🙂

Great that you love your 026. I also still love mine as well. It still is a great little saw!

Thanks! 😊

Thanks. The red wire with banana connector is only for starting up the plasma proces. Also the red wire is way too thin for this high amount of current. The main current will be between the two electrodes via the main cables.

Thx. Confused a wee bit here. If I set the machine for 40 amps and connect the red wire to the ground in the machine as you suggest why isnt the 40 amps passing thru the circuit to the torch tip immediately and burning thru the red wire. What is resisting this surge in amperage?

The main cables are designed for the high current. The red thin wire clearly not. The simple ring interface connection of the red wire does not indicate a complex interface at system side. So I expect a high electrical resistance as protection of the red wire circuit in the electronics design of the holder. This will limit the current in the red wire circuit during startup as well as during the process. Since I haven't noticed any cable heating in the red wire during long time operation, I expect this leakage power to be very small.

Thanks for the compliments. And glad you like it.

Good that you like your Husky. I'm sure it is also a great saw.

Thanks!

Thanks. I have the original grill guard, but it doesn't fit because of the front 3P hitch. It is still on my 'to do' list to create an adapted version (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYnJkIWap7Orbtk).

All the things shown in the video are originally of the FS461. The only item I bought as extra is the thicker Trim Line.

Thanks! AR400 3/4" will be a very good candidate for creating a Rhino Ripper. Please let me know if you have the same positive experience as I have. Use both the front loader upward force and the wheel traction in 4WD to rip roots. Good luck!

I do see suppliers on the internet for a spiral blade for the D27300, but I haven't thought about buying it. I'm interested in the smoothness that is achieved with these 44 carbide inserts. See: www.sheartak.com/spiral-cutterhead-dewalt-d27300-planer-thicknesser.

If you approach a steep hill from the front I don't expect any issue. The wheelbase of the flail mower is rather short: distance from the front wheels to the rotating cylinder at the back of the mower is small compared to a rotary mower deck. This flail mower is therefore less sensitive for bumpy terrain in forward direction. Transverse will depend on the width of the device and I expect not a lot of difference compared to other decks.

Het begint inderdaad met een goede werkbank. En van de bankschroef geniet ik bijna dagelijks. :-)

Glad you think so!

Yes they do indeed. Thanks!

Thanks, glad you like it!

Thanks! Which guard do you mean?

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountriesThe orca s17, what I meant was the extraction from the table saw itself.

Thanks, good to hear that it helps.

I use standard chain oil ISO 100. Is your filter in your oil tank perhaps clogged?

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries Filter is good, saw has about 15 hours on it, with the bar oil setting on manual and not the automatic position the saw pumps oil quite well, so ill just leave it in the manual mode. Thankyou for your previous response.

​@@user-pg5mn2vk3j Thanks for letting know that this solves your oil issue. I will also check my saw on this.

I haven't experienced a significant difference in debris falling into oil and fuel tank between the new and old caps. For both caps you have to pay attention on this during and after opening. The filling can you can see me using in the videos with the automatic shutters is really helpful to prevent this as well.

As mentioned in the description: Kubota B2261 4WD HST (26 hp). This is a European model.

Thanks a lot!

I know what you mean. I also had this experience first time sharpening this chain. But the chain clearly shows nr 2 marking so I used my Stihl file holder (as shown in the video at 2:33) with the 4.8mm file and filed it. The chain still runs very fine, no worries.

4.8 is the right file for original chain. i think you need to use a holder-file, for better work. That all.

Sir, what about the Mtronic on those saws how reliable is that technology? I don't want to spent my time in a Stihl repair shop all the time since they have very expensive hourly charges ? Please advise, thank you in advance Gunter

@@gunterbecker8528 i think 4 YO ( and maybe more) are reliable. With 3.0 mtronic, with white solenoid. Light and reliable. but echo & husky are equals to sthil, same quality when you pick up pro-grade saws.

Based on comments from others it seems not to be the case.

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries that’s to bad, I’d love to be able to mount a flail mower out front.

@@briananderson6758 I do understand fully. Somebody from the US did make a comment some time ago on one of my videos that he wanted to order the front hitch and PTO from either Kubota Europe or Zuidberg since he also wanted this. I don't know if he actually carried this out.

Thanks!

Check your local dealer. Prices are strongly dependent on the region you live in.

Thanks!

The Dewalt D27300 does not have a chip ejection fan like the DW735 has. In the manual of the D27300 it is stated: 'Provided with a suitable dust extraction device, 90% of the produced shaving can be caught if the air flow is at least 20 m/s'. So it is clearly meant to have a proper dust collector system mounted to the 100m dust extraction port.

You're welcome! Good luck making your own Rhino Root Ripper!

I've made my ripper it works good, but I wanted to show you a picture of it but I can't send it on this comment. Is this e mail on your reply OK to use.

@@brucesneed2299 Good to hear that it works good. You can send your pictures of your ripper to: [email protected]. I'm very curious.

Thanks and regards.

Thanks and good luck with your new tool!

Hoi Danny, In dat geval kun je beter een device gebruik maken dat daar helemaal voor is ontworpen: een diepwoeler. En heel toevallig heb ik die een tijdje geleden eentje getest: zie kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYbbfJuLorOEqZo. Deze is instelbaar in diepte en wordt achterop de 3P gemonteerd en is daardoor zeer robuust.

Toevallig had ik hem net gezien. Ik kende Loocon overigens al.... ook de video over de belasting van de voorlader is top uitgelegd 👌. Waarom ik hem graag in de voorlader wil is omdat de paddocks maar 10x10m zijn en water blijft meestal aan de randen staan. Als de woeltand achter de tractor hangt ben je al snel 1 a 2 m verder voordat de tand op diepte is. Als de tand in de voorlader zit kan ik m mooi aan de rand an de paddock op de hydrauliek eruit draaien.

@@dannyfranssen7779 De afmetingen van de Rhino Ripper staan in de description bij deze video die ook het ontwerp en fabricage van de Rhino Ripper laat zien (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKKzd3eFdt6Gask). Zo lang je de hydrauliek gebruik om de ripper naar boven te draaien en de cilinders op trek belast loopt je geen risico, daar is hij op ontworpen (zoals ook in de video over frontlader bending wordt uitgelegd). Let wel op als je gaat rijden met de ripper in de grond, want dan is het niet de hydrauliek die de kracht bepaalt, vooral gevaarlijk als je achteruit rijdt vanwege de drukspanning die dan op de cilinderstangen ontstaat.

Thanks and yes, more will follow.

Thanks. Yes I used teflon spray indeed. It drives out moisture but is also not sticky for dirt.

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing your experience and good to read that also in Novia Scotia the 261 shows good performance and reliability.

Thanks for your compliments and enthusiasm. And I also must confess that every time I use the 261-CM still a big smile appears on my face, when I see how easy and effortless this saw goes through the wood.

Thanks! Yes it works great. I only had a small amount of balance weight at the back, but still rips like a Rhino!! 😄

Thanks!

Dankjewel!

Thanks!

Thanks! It replaces a much cheaper one. The table saw is now used much more than before. :-)

Thanks! Glad you like it.

Thanks! It could be an interesting option indeed.

Thanks. I'm living in the Low Countries in Europe, these are the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Good luck with the rebuilt!
