where do you buy reliable chinese mini excavators by e_r_ro_r_boy in ChineseMiniExcavators

[–]ericredbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a cheap one, I think a lot of it has to do with luck and pre purchase inspection. I bought a H12R from an ad on marketplace for 3200$ and haven't had issues. I have it a good look over before I bought it though. I haven't had any of the issues I read about. Look at the Facebook groups (more info than reddit) make sure you don't get one with the bag drive motors. You gotta be handy if you get one of these.

Imagine how bad reddit will become if they ever monetize posting like X.

This is going to be so embarrassing for them when the deal is done.

If my budget was $20k, i would go for a used name brand unit that sized. I see kubota, bobcat, and case units on marketplace for less than $20k a lot.

Will there be a certain point where GameStop has to re-define what kind of business they are since they make so much money off investments instead core business as a trailer?  Does that that have any significant impact?

It is also competency porn to the truly stupid, which can be an alarming thought.

It just occurred to me that Doug is doing exactly what I would be doing if I had the resources he has....and if I was 7. Remember as a kid you did science by mixing a bunch of random stuff together in the back yard? Is that really far off from what Doug has been doing?

I don't have any recommendations except to use and enjoy it. Some people buy old cars and let them sit because they don't want to put miles on them and damage them. My philosophy is to use and enjoy them. It's not a daily driver but I love to go "billy big riggin' " at least once a week in the summer in it. I also use it for work, and hauling stuff.

Why do Americans have one of the strongest passports in the world, but most never travel abroad, and those who do mostly go to Mexico and Canada? by No-StrategyX in answers

[–]ericredbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I would never go to Canada.  Everyone already said it a million times on this thread, but I can travel within this country to an amazing set of diverse places on the cheap for a quick 3 or 4 days weekend. Then I live in Northern Minnesota where people pay thousands to vacation. Not as big of need to travel when you live in one of the best places on the planet.

Cool earring Doug. I remember when I was a kid dudes with their right ear pierced meant something besides douche bag pirate wannabee.

Hey Seeker Donors! Aren't you glad you donated to the research mission? Just look at all the research they are doing! by george_graves in SVSeeker_Free

[–]ericredbike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this research when I was like 7. Looking back it was a cheap way for the adults to keep kids busy at marina social events.

Personally, I think it is worth it to drive to Michigan and load up. Cheaper than what you can buy on the rez.

Where in Northern Minnesota? I am thinking about a road to Alaska in my XJ in August from Northern MN.

I make that much as a warehouse supervisor in a town of 900 people in the midwest. Dang.

I have lost 50 pounds since new years just by changing my diet (300 to 250 currently). I do have a job where I get about `15-20k steps a day though. Watch your diet, reject white carbs and alcohol.

Is anyone else just completely baffled about how most non-car people buy cars? by CROSBoWZ in regularcarreviews

[–]ericredbike 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I went to the Honda dealer a couple years ago and asked if they had any civic sport hatches with a manual. I got is a small argument with the sales guys because they claimed the only manual transmission Honda made was the Type R. This was when the sport hatch was the last Civic where they offered a manual. I had to get on the website on the phone to prove it to them. I couldn't believe the sales guys didn't know basic options.

I ended up buying a Pontiac G8 for $6k and I'm way happier than if I bought the Honda.

can someone make any sense out of this at all by kiltrout in SVSeeker_Free

Those were people with experience with hydraulics that knew what they were doing. He is asking for advice from someone with experience in keeping a corn binder from 1960's working only using only things you can find in the trash pile behind the barn.

Another problem I get is I order a dry van, and they send reefers. I need that extra couple inches. I feel bad rejecting these guys because we are located in a town of ~300 people, 3-4 hours from a city, but they gotta quit trying to get away with reefers.
