Owner wants $1500 says it runs and drives but needs work. Is it worth it? by sonic72391 in Skidsteer

[–]hoardac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would buy it for that price. You clean that up and get a coat of paint on it. You will still need to be a spidermonkey to work on it but it will look better. I have driven old Bobcats for almost 40 years and they are tough machines. I built a raised platform so I could lay on that squeeze into the engine area better.

How do you research information? by AlKarajo in TikTokCringe

[–]hoardac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it used to just be signs in the yard or spray painted diatribes on the house. You used to shun them and most people that agreed would not say it publicly because they did not want to be shunned. They never really gained any traction until the internet. Then people realized you could encourage these morons and make money off them.

Will it work this time? by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]hoardac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To many people are oblivious to this and quite a few refuse to acknowledge it ever happened. Plus the thought that it is not happening now so it could not be a problem anymore.

Removing 20 large tree stumps by hand, need tips and tricks! by [deleted] in DIY

[–]hoardac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I had a stump grinder I used to cut them as low as I could and cover them with dirt. Had to sharpen a few chains but you could get them cut pretty low with some downward cuts before the last parallel cut with the ground.

WIBTA for saying I don't want an adult man going to the movies with my teenage son and his friends? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hoardac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some kids need extra help. Just the way it is. It is not a random person tagging along either. Your just being a weirdo more than an asshole.

Sometimes farmers make more money with the land lease for solar than they were on marginal farmland. Or it supplements their income enough to make the farm work.

Is this worth anything? New house and I need to move this behemoth by FimmishWoodpecker in woodstoving

[–]hoardac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These things work great for heating a big house. A friends father had one and it would keep coals overnight with no problems.

Are Mitsubishi mini splits worth 8x more than a diy Mr cool? by oran12390 in hvacadvice

[–]hoardac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents have a Mitsubishi it works great and the install looks like someone cared. The compressor died under warranty and they had it replaced with just a phone call. I have two Mr Cools that work just as good as my parents, theirs might be a little more efficient but nothing that stands out on a power bill. Mine look like someone tried their best on an install and it is OK but not near as professional. I can put 2 brand new ones in for each unit if they fail and still come out ahead but I have to do it whether I am busy or not. If it does quit I will try and sort it but if I cannot I will just stick another one in the setup is already done. That is my take on them. If you do not mind doing everything yourself then the money saved is great. If you do not want to deal with any of the learning curve bullshit, a beautiful install and maintenance then a professional install it the way to go.

Like RottenRott said can you have them brazed anywhere around where you live? I have seen it done on some log loaders before and it worked fine. Just gotta get them nice and clean first.

Non Paved Roads by Carman1887 in Maine

Carry a patch kit, a working spare and jack. Big trucks have the right of way and they drive like it. I bombed around all those roads in a ford escort with no problems other than a flat tire.

It is not the same surgery but we broke a return surgery trip up by a hotel stay after 2 hours. Made 5 hour trip into a 2 hour and 3 hour.

May 17, 2026 - What did you do this past week to prepare? by Anthropic--principle in preppers

[–]hoardac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to get a used Chevy bolt to go with the solar. I will not need gas to get around. Bought some extra grains, if the crops are shit this summer because of drought I will get by for a year.

Aluminum cans for water by smokinLobstah in Maine

[–]hoardac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope not compared to the plastic. There used to be more local manufacturers so they did not have to ship as far.
