    DIY tractor snow blade

    Converted all of my tractors to the SQAA bobcat quick attach. Built a box plow with blades on the top of the box and the bottom. you dump the blade all the way and use the top to pull from the doors far enough to get behind it. I'll get pictures soon.

    Howdy and welcome. What MIG to buy?

    Before all this crap went down in our nation, I bought an eastwood 250a mig welder. Best warranty of the big companies. I had an issue with it 3 years after I bought it, called them up and they sent a new one out without question. Literally a 5 minute phone call. I sent the other one back...

    Nasty root ripper

    An update! Really put it to work. Tried swinging the boom sideways to bend it as much as I could. It hasn't budged. At all.... No bracing just finish welding. I'm impressed.

    Nasty root ripper

    New Welder Purchase

    eastwood also has the multi process welders that do stick, tig, and mig... Decent price honestly. For a garage, do-it-yourself type person, you could do damn near anything. https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-mp250i-multi-process-250-amp-welder.html

    Anyone Fab up a quick hitch?

    I've found the kits online for covering to the ssqa or bobcat quick attach setup. All 3 of my tractor have it now and wouldn't ever go back. I bought one of those cheaper kits online the second time and it's disappointing but if you know how to make it work for you if can turn it pretty well...

    Nasty root ripper

    Had a small backhoe that I bought a root ripper for. Well I bought a bigger backhoe and decided to make a bigger one. 3/4 inch steel for the blade and 1/2 inch for the attachment part. I tried destroying it. I did throw it in my wood boiler and then dunked it in oil.

    New Welder Purchase

    I bought an Eastwood mig 250. 220v single phase. They stand behind their product. Had an issue with it and they sent a whole new one no questions asked. Also bought their biggest plasma cutter. I melted the torch and they just sent a new one. Didn't ask anything. Great company. Took the welder...
