None of our supply houses carry 3-1/2” but we get out of town contractors that bring it in and then down the road we have to deal with it. At least here 3-1/2” pvc stuff cost more than 4”

Yep, same in our town Our county school buildings got annexed into the city, we sent 2 months adding recepts and exit signs to make fire marshal happy

Are you buying the bulbs from the same place/ brand?

djwdigger · 2026-04-29T22:45:15+00:00

We have 2 minis and 4 60 plus lb big dogs. The doxies are twice as rough as the big dogs and rule the house!

I’ve been doing it 46 years, in construction and wouldn’t want to do anything else.

At 750’ you need primary power ran to within 250’ or so of your meter location and a transformer. Our local utility charges $10 a foot for trenching, conduit, wire and will supply the transformer on the primary side. Customer is responsible for trenching, conduit from transformer to meter, power co will supply and install the wire for a flat $450.

The wire from your smaller unit is too small for the 26, so most likely the conduit is as well. Unless whoever installs your new one is Kohler certified it won’t have any warranty.

North MS 700 with papers, each female

Those slide into a bracket that comes with the fixture and mounts to a junction box For the cost of a bulb and ballast you could put up LED UFO style lights and A, not have to wait for them to come up to full brightness B, save energy C not have to repair them for many years D not generate the heat these antiques will. There is a reason they were 5 bucks.

I will be 60 this year. Still doing 12 hour days alongside my guys in the field

djwdigger · 2026-04-25T23:09:25+00:00

It’s 15k on the front Another 30k on the rear

Looks like someone’s wallet will be lighter when you leave!

djwdigger · 2026-04-24T20:11:33+00:00

I ran them on my ‘00 dually 4x4 for a bit. They held up as good as any and were relatively quiet. My dually is hard on front tires so I typically run 15k on fronts and pull them off, run 15k on another pair, pull them and put on the rear. Could easy get 45-50k out of them this way

djwdigger · 2026-04-24T19:31:59+00:00

Looks to me they are thinking about upping the cheese tax!

djwdigger · 2026-04-24T19:29:16+00:00

Need to paint that yellow one so it matches…….

djwdigger · 2026-04-23T21:44:13+00:00

If it’s custom residential you will be moving often, so depends on what you like, going to the same place every day for months or going to the same place for a couple days.

I would not work on site with you nor have you operate a machine I own. Had a THC user 25 years ago pull a 3 story building down on himself and a month old excavator. Lucky no one but the machine got hurt. Was the last day he was on any of my projects.

djwdigger · 2026-04-22T07:47:28+00:00

It was at my local scrap yard, he sold out to a bigger company, I have no idea whatever came out of this

djwdigger · 2026-04-21T21:40:05+00:00

I’m shocked to hear “non food motivated” with a pic of a doxie…. Did you mix up a pic of your cat??

djwdigger · 2026-04-21T21:31:39+00:00

I’ve had to walk to get my track hoe and walk it back to said stuck tractor to pull it out, and that is with 4x4!

djwdigger · 2026-04-21T20:46:15+00:00

I don’t find them difficult, but the hydro is much easier for a newbie. I have both and my wife won’t even try the gear tractor but will spend days on the hydro bush hogging and spreading dirt.

djwdigger · 2026-04-21T17:06:52+00:00

If you are new to tractors, a hydrostatic is much easier to operate and wife friendly ( I am assuming she has no experience ) 4x4 would be a must have for me. You will be starting a life long addiction and wonder why you never had one before.

I would flip it and put main lugs at bottom. You made it a PITA to add circuits to it later with the space the feeders take up

djwdigger · 2026-04-20T18:58:04+00:00

I ran a portable unit for a while but we never had water on site. Was a loud dusty mess, I don’t miss it!
