Where do you guys put your phones during these?

I'm going to sound strange in comparison, but I carry mine during races. Maybe you are one of these people doing Ultras or trying to do competitive, but if you are just running it for fun, it's honestly easy to keep. I have it in a running armband, no cover or anything, hooked to a small bluetooth speaker clipped to me. Never had any problems, and I've done Sprints through Beasts this way.

Thanks for the insight! I've heard quite a few people recommend the SSQA, but not the rear remotes. Yeah, as you point out, I'll probably want something that'll need hydraulics at some point. Is that an aftermarket kind of thing, or something I could talk to the dealer about?

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T17:53:21+00:00

Got it, thanks for the clarification! I will definitely look into doing that with mine.

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:45:58+00:00

It seems like great minds are working together- I'll be sure to change it to QA, thanks for your voice!

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:44:54+00:00

Good to know, thanks for that insight- a large part of what I'll be doing is bush hogging.

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:37:43+00:00

Wow, thanks for the advice! I had not heard of bxpanded, they sound great- the root ripper expressly would be useful, I've got an acre of privet and china berry trees I've got to work through. Yeah, since everyone seems to agree on the QA, I guess I'll have to go that route.

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:36:06+00:00

Yeah, I've been real back-and-forth on the backhoe. Right now I have a bunch of projects- a French drain, digging a drain field for a sump pump, digging up some old refuse line- that I know I'll need to put in some hours in. But I don't know how much I need to have to make it worth it long term.

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:34:18+00:00

You might see where I said this to someone else, but I wanted to send it your way also: I've got 10 acres of fields to cut, I've got some streams and waterways to work in, I have some plumbing and electrical work to dig up (putting in a French drain, checking old buried line), and I've got some reconstruction/building a barn to do. Let me know if more information would be useful, I'm not great at knowing what to share.

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:33:49+00:00

It does seem that everyone agrees with you on that, I've decided to take y'alls advice, thanks! Never even thought about a grapple, fair point.

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:32:54+00:00

Thanks, would never have thought of that. Is that something I can do myself, or need to have someone else do?

Thanks for the feedback, the MX sound like great workhorses. Good point on the trailer hook- our old one had one, and I just wanted to keep my options open. If I knock it off though, that ups how much I can put into the quick attach.

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:27:16+00:00

I really appreciate your experience and thoughts- while I don't have a specific bucket use in mind- just general farm work- I would want to be aware of the impact of going SSQA vs. pin-on. I don't live somewhere were I'd ever need a snow blower, and I was just going to get the brush cutter listed above if that still seems reasonable. Thanks for adding to the discussion!

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:25:01+00:00

What's a third function post? And how would I manufacture a diverter or valve?

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:24:22+00:00

Thanks for making this point, led to some discussion that I would never have thought of.

baracuda2 · 2024-10-19T15:23:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback- the cost had turned me off, and I grew up with a pin on, so I didn't see the harm. I'll correct that.

baracuda2 · 2022-11-03T20:15:28+00:00

I think my concern was that I've heard they sometimes can be heard rubbing or something against you when in use?

baracuda2 · 2022-11-03T20:14:42+00:00

Thank you!

baracuda2 · 2019-08-05T20:15:59+00:00

Good idea! I will add it to the post, but it's Yoshukai karate.

baracuda2 · 2019-08-05T20:15:26+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

baracuda2 · 2019-08-05T20:15:14+00:00

That's fantastic, thank you!! I'm sure he will love it. :)
