      Yeah. He's recording at 2160p. It's really the new standard. Many still recording at 720 or 1080.

    • @idigit4967
      @idigit4967  Před rokem

      I record everything in 1080 at 6o fps but I have the editing program export the video in 4k. That's why it looks so clear.

    My "friend" has a couple of Bobcats. He managed to throw one of the tracks off so I helped him put it back on. Wish I had seen this video before because we spent a couple hours doing it. Well, I'm pretty sure he'll eventually pull the same "trick" again so this is good to know.

    When presented with an unknown torque spec like that I tighten it until it squeaks. I can that gutentight 😂
    Oh also (from several years as an automotive service tech) I despise reusing hex head bolts. Those things strip the hex shape out way to easy then they are a pain to get out.

      That was kind of my thought. I think you were speaking to the drive sprocket. That's one of those things you want to replace in pairs. If one is worn out the other one usually follows shortly.
