    Can a 25hp handle a 7ft mower?

  • @CopperBarnHomestead

    @@swappedoutZ71 I honestly don’t know. The most quoted rule of thumb is 5-7hp per foot of width for mower or cutter. We had the 72” and tried it on our little tractor. I would not pay for a 7’ mower to try but if it was sitting around…. Maybe? The specs will say absolutely won’t work. Thanks again, have a great day and be safe!

    TIM from Canada you have now fixed one leak on your tractor tire and you were having a problem because there is still a second leak on your tractor tire you need to.. titan the second part of your valve, stem the bigger piece that goes to the rim. You need to tighten up a little more.

    Hi. Need to get a finishing mower! Sorry for going off topic, but I need help! I am having a rear hydraulic issue with my 1023e. It only lifts 3-4" then suddenly stops with a hard stop. Lowering is fine. May be like 5% of the time it will lift to full height. Front loader works fine. I added a gallon of low vis hydraulic oil yesterday. No difference. I have search KZread and some forums with NO luck. Thnx Thanks for the help Cheers David

I don’t have much to offer but have you looked at all the linkages and pins and such to be sure nothing is out of place or binding. Also are the connections to the lift lever good? You already checked the oil and a hard stop seems like maybe a mechanical reason instead of a hydraulic one…. Maybe ? Best luck getting it sorted out and let us know what you find out.

It says to clean the area before opening that housing. Clean the screen with solvent and dry with compressed air then just make sure the oring is good and reinstall. Thanks again, good luck!

    Good job with the video. I had a similar Craftsman transformer welder I was given by a cousin after I sold my Lincoln Ranger 8. When it died and I bought my Titanium 225t, I cut the welding cables off the Craftsman, put DINSE25 connectors (male on one end, female on the other) to make extension welding cables. That doubled the length of my welding leads which is very handy. Note that the duty cycle for the 225 is 100% @ 100 amp on 240V and 100% @ 45A for 120V. Graphing the points for each voltage on the duty cycle data in the manual results in a useful picture of the duty cycle envelope. I've only had my 225 for a few days, but my experience with it has been good. It''s a lot of welder for a reasonable price, especially when it's on a 25% off sale which mine was. I much prefer DC for stick welding. Over the years I've used mostly 7014 and 6013. I built an arena fence using drill tube and sucker rod which was all welded with 7018 using the Ranger 8 I had back then.

    The cheap flux core welders get fairly good penetration if the feed is set right, but there is alot of spatter to grind off when you're done. They do work well for lighter work up to 1/4' metal.
