Scheevie, got myself a "Bad Boy". Loving it. Had a regular JD lawn tractor (residential model) and I was taking a beating and taking forever to mow the new farm lawn (4.5 acres). This mower (video link attached) has improved my quality of life significantly. Issue, likely with all zero turns, is that it has a tendency not to want to steer going down steep hill. Will steer going up... not down, plan accordingly (lesson learned involving tow strap and tractor. It, and likely most, is also hard on the lawn as you zero-turn your way around a small tree, likes to tear up the grass a bit. This model has bouncy seat and front suspension, makes a difference. ruclips.net/video/VrSOIM62Gd4/видео.htmlsi=0uPTp8113bGKXz8W

You shopping for one? What are you considering to get?

@@TryNewThings...I will be soon...the bad boy is on the list...keep up the good work!

I keep my eyes open for them. It is working out pretty good. 2/3 full already, have some nice magnetic labels I'm using to remind me what is in each one of them. Next I have to build a battery charging station for all my cordless tools.

Great idea!!

Found them on Facebook Marketplace. Paid almost nothing for them.

Thank you sir

Thank you Tillman family for the wonderful feedback.

Held up good for about one year. To make a lasting difference I would call this an annual activity. Still, that may be worth the effort. Thanks for the question.

You are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, much appreciated.

John, thanks so much for the great feedback. Much appreciated!!

Thanks Scott, appreciate the feedback!

We shall see, not flying off the shelves yet :) LOL

@@TryNewThings Give it time, it'll be all things pumpkin before you know it!!

I'm still in the middle of a summer drought. Glad I added 1000 gallons of water storage. High of 94 degrees today and tomorrow. But looking forward to the first part of the brrrr season. Fall will not last as long as we would like I'm sure.

@@TryNewThings Wow! Now getting cooler here some nights

I’m a couple or three ours north of you Chris and about the same weather patterns. Needing rain ☔️

@@deanbarr5740 rumor is it may rain tomorrow night. No rain for over two weeks. At least I don’t have to mow this weekend, but the garden isn’t happy. Hope we both get rain

ASC, thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment, very much appreciated!!

You are not wrong about the cost to run those little heaters. I'll have to look into tube heaters more. They are not inexpensive to purchase, but likely pay you back in electrical savings over time. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated.

Will likely take a break from furniture flipping for a bit. Have made a couple hundred $ from it in the last year, but per hour of effort it is barely better than RUclips LOL

I wasn't a fan, but it did sell. I would have been bigger fan of painting the base black, then stain and clear coat the seat... but I was 'trying' to listen to my wife on this one :) Having fun fixing up a bank of old gym lockers at the moment, not for purpose of resale though, thought might make good tool storage.

I do not have a direct test that matches your scenario, but I think it should. I know I have turned my pump off and on from inside the pole barn without direct line of site (walls covered in thin insulation and metal), but from a distance of about 10m vs your 40m. So I'm thinking it should work for your application.

That’s good to know. Thanks for all your help; it’s very much appreciated.

I have. Been satisfied so far. Fairly well rated by the BBB. www.bbb.org/us/tx/dallas/profile/bullion-coin-dealers/jm-bullion-0875-90530215. They did not sponsor this video in any way.

@@TryNewThings thanks so much.

All were junk modern coins, I pull the older ones out and keep separately.

I also kept all my "copper" pennies, not sure why, but only turned in the newer zink ones I had found.

@@TryNewThings Made me laugh. I keep the copper pennies as well.

@@TryNewThings Throw a magnet in your penny collection and see if you can find a steel penny. Near me at Barren River Lake, they open the dam every fall and drop the levels about 50 ft. Its a good place to walking with a detector but I've never had the time or equiptment to do it. If there is a lake near you, it may be worth seeing if they do the same thing.

I vote to get rid of the Zinc pennies like Canada did....

Empty, super light, full, I can lift it but I would not recommend it alone. There are handles on each side, so two people could unload it full pretty easily I would think, or if you had a tractor you could slide it out and into the bucket if alone. I guess I'm saying I would not recommend lifting it full alone. I throw it on my trailer and run it to the pump, then I can slide it down the ramp when I get back, or use the tractor. Hope this helps.... I LOVE having the electric pump though, makes filling up the tractor / mower / jeep super easy. I guess you could slide it down a plank when you get home maybe(?)

@@TryNewThings Thanks for the reply! Back in my youth I “might” have been able to wrestle this tank around but five back surgeries later, no way! You brought up several ways to handle the tanks, all of which I am able to do i.e. tractor (with bucket and with forks), a utility trailer that I could hook up and take to the gas station instead of the back of my Armada, etc. At any rate, I think I am going to give them a try as I absolutely dread it when it is time to fill up my tractor or my side-by-side.

Wishing you all the best.

Christie I wish I had a clever response for you... I rely on pulling the weeds out of the rows, at least until the plants get well established (you should see my squash beds, hard to see through the weeks), and for between the rows I either run a small gas powered tiller up the middle or, more often than not I just use a grass trimmer and it ends up looking like a lawn between my rows. I do have one rule, no chemicals, so it has been tough fighting off the weeds. Friend of mine tried straw between the rows, but he found there was just too many seeds in the straw. If my garden was small, I would try cardboard and mulch I think, but where I want to just run the big tiller on the tractor every spring, that would be more work than worth I think. If you crack the weed control code, do let me know :) Thanks for taking the time to write the question, sorry the answer was so disappointing though.

A lot of folks have said the same thing. I’m going to have to pick up a big battery. Save the smaller ones for the drill.

Great recommendations, I still have 5 tanks off in the corner, was going to make some more this winter, I’ll have to look into the slots!

Welcome back!!!! And I appreciate the feedback.

Hopefully you do not have too much to catch up on.

I just pulled my info, and for the month of July, looks like the camera that used the most data only used 0.04G. Now that said, I do not spend a lot of time remotely accessing the cameras from my phone, I just pull it up when I receive a motion alert. So if you wanted to use them just to check on things, you may run double that.

Thanks JW. How are things in your neck of KY?

@@TryNewThings Hot and avoiding most outdoor work right now. I've got plenty of projects waiting on me.

Can’t wait to see them

😉. You saw through the vail Paul. If I got some good Stihl gas powered units… I would be stuck doing all the trimming at the house! Downside is, battery powered does have a shorter life expectancy. Like the Huscavarna’s before the switch to Kobalt.

Why thank you Mark!

Why thank you Navy Mark. Was thinking about making some more, holiday shopping season is quickly approaching again. But today I was busy making pumpkins out of my big pile of tobacco sticks for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Making 3 more this weekend. Well hopefully.

The sail boats reminded me of when I took my wife to be down to NS for a trip on the Bluenose II. 😉

Navy Mark, you mean the brass looking medallions?

Used them on this recent project as well. TNT #248: DYI Stackable Produce Crates Woodworking Build Project ruclips.net/video/8RnF0HUNVSs/видео.html

Thanks Dave! 3 years goes by quickly. What is fun for me is I do not have a clue what new videos await, because I do not know what I’ll want to work on more than a couple weeks out. So I’ll be as surprised as anyone.

I was surprised as well. Ones at the house garden were a complete fail.

I was surprised as well. Ones at the house garden were a complete fail.

whatever works David :) Learning a lot this year. More than doubled the size of the garden and I figured out a few things, one is plant more onions, two is plant less tomatoes and zucchini, and I guess three would be a question... are potatoes worth it? They take up so much space for something that costs the least to buy. Anyways, hope all is well, thanks as always for the feedback.

Thank Jordan
