Hey, hey, hey, come on now, no need for that. Some of us want to see where this ends up... I do anyway.

This is my first thread and am just building something to make life easier...

Yeah, I saw that you changed your post too, I see your game Jon, insult someone and then change the post so Roland doesn’t see it in the morning. Real tough guy. Truth is you’re the death wish, death wish to this forum.

I'm not sure how to respond to this, so I checked out your post for help.

1) Look for key words like “OPINION”. If you don’t see it, don’t give it. For example, if someone comes on here and says, “ Has anyone figured out how to use front and rear implements independently?” That is not a request for anyones opinion about what the OP plans to do. Simply a request for information.

2) If someone comes to OCC and says, “I am doing such and such to my tractor, and was thinking about doing it like this or like that. Any thoughts?” So now we have a situation in which opinions may be helpful, not regarding the OP’s plan to do such and such but, opinions on whether he/she should do it like this or like that. Get it?

3) Now if someone comes along and says, “hey, I was thinking about doing such and such. Any thoughts?” Now this is a situation where the OP has asked for opinions and everyone should feel free to chime in! But, that should not be taken as an opportunity to bash other people’s thoughts. It’s simple really. I think they call it common courtesy.

Lets see, what’s next?

Oh yeah,

4) Often new members call things by the wrong names. The key here is to look at the context in which the miss named item is used. With a little thought it is usually quite easy to figure out. Statements like” I think you mean the metal inserts” easily teaches a new member the correct name for the part and encourages them to become a knowledgeable contributing member.

And another one,

5) If someone is addressing a specific member, unless you know them well enough to know that butting in will not be a problem, don’t do it.

And probably not last, but defiantly worth mentioning;

6) References to peoples genitals should be avoided. Statements like “Grow a pair” or “ Reach down a grab the pair that you have” do not generally encourage members to become a part of our community.

Feel free to refer back to this list any time you are uncertain about how to respond to a post.

I'm going with number 5. But wait.... didn't YOU just butt in?

Good thing you made that post. I didn't know what to do!

I find the project very interesting. The owner is one hell of a fabricator. It sure would help my bad back if I had one.

you can't really tell from below video, but my back is bothering me a little today.

I know it's not perfect, still researching a flow control/shut-off valve.

Very cool!

It is a good idea to always set the brake when you dismount the tractor.

What about using a simple 1/4 turn ball valve? Would that work?

Okay, first off, you don't ever want to leave something hanging by means of hydraulics. You're just asking to get hurt/killed. If it's something you really want to do, install a mechanical lock on the device somehow. You can go by means of a ram lock (like in the pics I'll include), or with some other rod you can lock in place that will allow you to take the pressure off the hydraulic system. You have to think safety/worse case scenario when you're dealing with stuff like this. Make a few different sized ram locks so you can pick which one you need if you've got to leave something hanging. It would be best if you didn't, but at least this way you're somewhat protected in the event your hydraulic cylinder gives out with you near it.
