It’s still going strong. Since the linear actuator was only about $40 I bought a spare, but it’s still in the box. The original one has been working flawlessly. Thanks for watching!

Sorry, but I do not. If you have a smaller tractor you can make it out of lighter material such as deck boards and pressure treated plywood. Thanks for watching!

@DIYMyWay just curious on how much counter weight it gives the tractor is all! I have a kioti ck2620 so it would handle the full build, by the way your videos are fantastic!!

You grind the underside of the blade flat, not beveled ( and flatten any rock-damage nicks). The topside is the beveled side. This preserves shear action. You can rejuvenate worn blades, especially at the last 2" which does most of the cutting, with non-brittle hard surface welding rods. Stellite is too brittle, and will break on impact, tho it lasts long time on plowshares (abrasive wear). (You can tell my experience with this dates from the 1960s!) You do have to remove blades to rebuild.

I'm looking at blades now. I -need- would like the Land Pride RB1660 because of the optional hydraulic pivot to turn the blade. All of my work will be snow removal (Buffalo, New York's snow belt) and I think it would be too much getting on and off the tractor every few minutes just to turn the blade. I do like your blade. The design seems very substantial and resistant to bending. The price of the RB1660 is $1200 and the hydraulics adds even more. Prior to watching your video, I had my mind made up. Now I'm not sure what to do. Thank you for an excellent video. Keep up the good work. I just read the company has too many legal problems to get involved with. It's better to just stay away.

Very informative video. Any idea why the manufacturer of my snowblower and skid winch supply grade 8 shear bolts? Should I replace with something weaker? Thanks
@DIYMyWay17 күн бұрын
Thanks! I don’t think grade 8 bolts are shear bolts. The skid winch may not need a shear bolt so the grade 8 bolt could be okay. Seems like the snowblower would need a shear bolt. Maybe it has a slip clutch? If not, I’d seriously consider changing the bolt to grade 2. Thanks for watching!

Calcium Chloride mixed with 2.5 ounces of boiler/chiller corrosion Inhibitor for every gallon reduces it's corrosion level to slightly more than distilled water.
@DIYMyWay19 күн бұрын
Thanks for sharing that information. I’ve never heard of that before!
@Reloadeez18 күн бұрын
@@DIYMyWay I got this mixture by digging through the material safety data sheets of "proprietary" corrosion-Inhibited calcium chloride ballast manufactures. Corrosion testing is from a Texas based laboratory. Calcium chloride has 18-21 mils/year of corrosion, corrosion-inhibited calcium chloride has 5-8 mils/year corrosion, and distilled water 3-4 mils/year.

I watched my uncle do something like this in the 70's. He drilled holes in a giant rock and then filled them with something he mixed up from stuff around the shed/barn. And filled the holes with the slurry, then pounded pieces of wood into the holes sealing them. You came back the next morning and it would be all cracked up. then rinse repeat until that boulder was small enough pieces to drag away with a tractor. Maybe 1974? I always wondered what he mixed up in his witches breww? now i kinda know...he was making dexpan or whatever expando stuff.

An excavator tried to remove it when the garage was built but could not because the rock is huge. Dexpan let me break off the top of it to get it below grade. Thanks for watching!

To anyone who may choose to use this method, please consider your own safety: wear safety glasses and a mask that will prevent particulates (rock dust) from entering and becoming trapped in the distal airways of your lungs. I do not know how loud the drill and the drilling process are but to be on the safe side, foam or silicone ear plugs are inexpensive and easy to wear. Thank you.

Don't know anything about what your doing, but I do know about drilling in rock for wells. And they always use "mud" a water clay slurry to lubricate and cool the bit.

Thank you so much- I may not do everything you do, but I do know where I cut my corners, and it's my choice, and as an adult I live with it. I have an LX 4060 with cab, and BH77. Kubota adds an extender between the backhoe and the tractor to fit the cab, which changes the lever arm distance for this build. The base drops too far forward, and the support pins won't pop out. I solved this by snugging up the wide arm of the dolly to just slide underneath the backhoe arms, and adding a 6x6 atop the narrow arm. This pops the support pins almost straight up, and away I go. They see me rollin'....
