    Good morning, Pete. We sure hope you are feeling better. At the end of the day, your health and the health of your family are what's most important. As much as we love your videos and we do love them, what's most important is you get yourself right, we'll be here when you're ready. As always, thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to make the videos we all enjoy. 😊

    Hi Pete, Paul from Ireland here, wishing you a full recovery. Not easy to feel motivated to do work when you're 'under the weather '. Like others, I thought something was wrong when my Sunday video from 'Just a few acres farm' didn't appear. You are part of what makes a good week for me. Thank you for all you do.

    Just a thought from a long time heavy equipment mechanic about the mini x. When checking the hydraulic level, make sure that you have the correct position of the boom, dipper,and bucket as per your service manual. When the oil is cold, I like to fill the oil to the add level then run it to warm up the oil. With a closed pressurized system you want to leave room for expansion. If it doesn’t have room for expansion it can’t circulate and cause the oil to heat up and harden the o-rings,cylinder seals,and hoses. Then make room by blowing something out. The weakest link, have a good day.
