    Thanks for the info CM1995. The site we are working on is 99% trash trees and brush with some minor out buildings and old fencing. And the growth is only moderately dense. What part of AL are you in?

    JD 650H Fuel and Power problem

    PowerJoke, thanks for the quick reply. Actually, it does have a faulty fuel gauge. Found that out the hard way!! But how would that affect it drawing a vacuum? And I have had experience with Algae in a farm tractor and when it is present, you know it!!! But I have had this system open...

    JD 650H Fuel and Power problem

    I need help with a 650H that occasionally starts losing power. Enough power loss that it can barely move itself along. The engine sounds normal, even at full rpm, but very little power when put in gear. When this problem first stated, I did all the obvious and checked hydro levels, etc. Even...

    Tile crush rating?

    To you smarter than me guys. This is probably a dumb question. But why is it referred to as "TILE". Its still pipe no matter what materiel it is made of, right? Sorry to ask, but it is just one of those things I gotta know. Like why is a whiskey and a mixer called a HI BALL????

    Insurance Company question

    Thanks Shenandoah. I currently have a local, but was just investigating the bigger names. Gravelwasher: Sounds like you guys have a B.O.P., (Business Owners Plan)? As I understand it, that is what is required to qualify for an Umbrella. PERHAPS you would know for sure.

    Setting a drainage elevation THROUGH a high hill

    Sorry Randy88, one more question. Why do you suppose the available INTAKES you suggested are only limited to smaller diameter pipes? I looked at the sites you recommended, and I think I only saw one company with a diameter of up to 12" max. What is being used in larger diameter pipe...

    Setting a drainage elevation THROUGH a high hill

    Setting a drainage elevation THROUGH a high hill

    Randy88, all good points and well taken. Dirt washing into the pipe is a factor to consider. Would you by any chance have pictures of the INTAKES you suggest? Also, great idea on the 12' straight edge boards and a level. I totally get that and how it works. However, I do not want to put...

    Setting a drainage elevation THROUGH a high hill

    Randy88, yes, we are coming in at 90 degrees to the drainage valley. And as previously mentioned, a dam or berm of adequate size will be constructed ACROSS the ravine bottom to pool or hold all of the water until it discharges out (90 degrees) through the pipe. Our plan is to NOT make a fixed...

    95 acre land clearing job

    RNI EXCAVATE, i would sure like to see pics of your homemade Rake. I have a Root Rake on my JD 650H Dozer. But I also have jobs that a rake behind any one of my large tractors would be nice as well.
