There is a ring on the bearing plate on which the blade is centered.

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries I realized the store gave me a blade with the wrong diameter, that's why it was loose and didn't center, thanks for the answer

I have the same issue. And for that purpose I use the cutting wire instead (see czcams.com/video/3nMrEGYtYHw/video.html). These wires are available in different diameters and thereby strengths, so you can balance between strength (endurance) and damage.

Thanks!

The workmate is used mostly for doing dirty jobs outside, typically metal-works, like grinding, plasma cutting and welding. For that this add-on is used as shown on the video. In that case the work height is already increased and works quite well for me. For wood-work I typically use my indoor work benches which are indeed somewhat higher.

Thanks for the compliments!

@@marc1al90 What would you like to know?

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries just an update. The wear and tear on the vise. How it's holding up. Comparing the vise with your previous vise. Anything regarding the vise. There aren't many videos about the Heuer here on CZcams to be honest.

I do see some similarities. 😁 Not sure though who is copying who in this case... 😅

Dankjewel!

Glad that it was of help to repair it.

Thanks

Hahaha... didn't think this way about 18:32. The shape of the rhino ripper is ideal to dig underneath and cut the roots. It is relatively light weight and therefore doesn't reduce the upward force of the front loader that much. A thumb can be used to grip stumps, but in practice the sharp point is already doing that in most of the cases. Next to that the volume above the blade is fully required when pushing the ripper underneath a stump and the implement is tilted forward so the ripper points almost fully downward to enter the ground easily.

Thanks David!

With the original orange wire in very high grass the wire broke quite easy. That's why I use thicker wire for that purpose (2.7mm), which is much stronger: Stihl CF3 Pro 2.7 mm (see video at 10:23).

It's a great system. So good luck using it!

Thank you and very glad that these people were motivated by this.

Agree, my favourite as well.

The front PTO is driven straight from the engine and has a separate switch from the rear and mid-PTO. The front PTO and 3P is a separate option that you can put on this machine. In this video you can find more information on this: czcams.com/video/yDSADPEuDfY/video.html.

Thanks! The flail mower is indeed a very nice mower. I use both the finish mower and flail mower for the maintenance. The flail mower at the front is very nice to push under low hanging branches and to prevent damage of the tractor from driving over sticks or branches rebounding upwards while driving over it. Nice thinking about the thumb on the Rhino!

I see a lot of US and Canada videos about Kubota Compact Tractors that are more or less the same, but a different type indication is used.

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries No I tried to purchase a 2261. for a specific job I have. They are not available in the USA at all.

@@troyb.4101 What is so specific about the European model B2261 that you can't find on the US comparable models?

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries The forward PTO unit! That fail mower unit would be great in the South west USA for Mesquite trees which have three inch thorns that look like too picks.

@@troyb.4101 I can fully imagine indeed that a front flail mower is strongly preferred for that type of work.

No sorry, but a local blacksmith in your neighbourhood should be able to make you one using a bobcat interface plate as shown in the video.

Don't know if it's available in India.

The magnesium piston does give some interesting advantages because of its lower weight and higher power and acceleration. I don't expect an issue for oiling a 20-25 inch bar with this saw. If I needed to choose between the 400M or 362 I think I would go for the 400M.

Thanks David! Very good to read that you like it.

That's also an interesting alternative.

Glad you like it and thanks for the subscription!

Thanks!

Succes with your version of the ripper.

The European B2261 has a 1261 cc engine, the same as the 2650 has. The B2601 has a smaller 1123 cc engine.

Thanks for the info. Considering buying the B2261 in south africa with front loader.

@@qualityfun8304 That's a very good choice! You will find several examples of what you can do using that combination on my channel.

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries thanks

Thanks and glad you like it!

Thanks for the compliments and very glad that you like it. The safety helmet is from 3M / Peltor. In this video I explain why I have chosen this helmet (above Stihl) and how it works: czcams.com/video/fJ9aUX3ARdk/video.html

He's not that stupid then. Free chickens at the neighbour. ;-) I have the same problem. A few days ago the hawk pulled out the bars of my smaller coop and took out a chicken. These birds are strong! In this video (czcams.com/video/yABelfCXeDII/video.html) it wasn't successful, but now it was. I have now created steel brackets to reinforce the bars to prevent the hawk from pulling them out.

In the mean time I have lost several chickens on martens in that coop. The only thing that protects them is the coop with these small bars like you see in this video czcams.com/video/yABelfCXeDI/video.html. But a few days ago a hawk pulled out the bars and took a chicken. So now I reinforced it by steel brackets that prevents the bars from being pulled out. The story never ends.... My plan is to create a much larger coop using mesh panels instead of chicken wire type of closing. But that is quite a large project.

@@OutdoorsintheLowCountries Thank you for your reply and the tips! 🙂 Yes, we gotta keep outsmarting these creatures 🙂 We have lived in our house for 30 years now, and have never had an issue with a predator, up until this marten. 😲 We only had a hedgehog 🦔family take shelter in the chicken coop 🙂 that was rather sweet, we let them stay, then they left on their own after a while.

@@tayori3ryokou Same story on this side. I'm having chickens all my life from very young age. Never had any problems with predators. Only the last few years this has changed. First the foxes came along; but a fox is quite easy to keep out. Then wild cats; a little bit harder but also relatively easy to keep them out. Next the hawks and other birds of prey; quite difficult to keep them out because you need to create a top side protection. The result was a strong decrease of chicken coop from 30 x 30 m to 3 x 3 m. Then the martens: normal sized wire fence they still can get through. Thus the mesh should be very small. So the chicken coop has now reduced further to 2 x 0.6 m, which was originally meant for protecting the very small chicks against crows etc. And even there they weren't safe since a hawk pulled out the metal mesh from the wooden frame, so I reinforced all meshes with strong steel brackets. So my plan is now to build a chicken coop from strong steel mesh panels with relatively small mesh widths. Not sure yet when this project will start though, since many other projects are still running as well. 🙂

Great that you love your 026. I also still love mine as well. It still is a great little saw!

Thanks! 😊

Thanks. The red wire with banana connector is only for starting up the plasma proces. Also the red wire is way too thin for this high amount of current. The main current will be between the two electrodes via the main cables.

Thx. Confused a wee bit here. If I set the machine for 40 amps and connect the red wire to the ground in the machine as you suggest why isnt the 40 amps passing thru the circuit to the torch tip immediately and burning thru the red wire. What is resisting this surge in amperage?

The main cables are designed for the high current. The red thin wire clearly not. The simple ring interface connection of the red wire does not indicate a complex interface at system side. So I expect a high electrical resistance as protection of the red wire circuit in the electronics design of the holder. This will limit the current in the red wire circuit during startup as well as during the process. Since I haven't noticed any cable heating in the red wire during long time operation, I expect this leakage power to be very small.

Thanks for the compliments. And glad you like it.

Good that you like your Husky. I'm sure it is also a great saw.

Thanks!

Thanks. I have the original grill guard, but it doesn't fit because of the front 3P hitch. It is still on my 'to do' list to create an adapted version (see czcams.com/video/wXf_RdrNx8w/video.html).

All the things shown in the video are originally of the FS461. The only item I bought as extra is the thicker Trim Line.

Thanks! AR400 3/4" will be a very good candidate for creating a Rhino Ripper. Please let me know if you have the same positive experience as I have. Use both the front loader upward force and the wheel traction in 4WD to rip roots. Good luck!
