As a pressure washer guy with multiple softwash systems, here some fews tip. 1.Avoid using 90* barb (it restricted flow). 2. Don’t ever buy northern star pump ( it suck, try delavan pump or remco pump ) 3. You can even upgrade more using 7gpm pump or 10gpm pump with 24v setup
@GreenTechTown… “…are designed for PACIFIC flow rates” ….WHAT??? You mean SPECIFIC, not “pacific”. Check this out… “Specific” is defined as: adjective 1. clearly defined or identified. "increasing the electricity supply only until it met specific development needs" 2. BIOLOGY relating to or connected with species or a species. "the differences between them can only be on the specific level" Pacific is defined as: 1. peaceful in character or intent. "a pacific gesture" Similar: peace-loving peaceable 2. relating to the Pacific Ocean. "the Pacific War" **The more you know, the more you grow.**
Another great vid! a) Do you think setting 9 to 11 inches of overlap on the cutting width would improve the quality of the first run? It almost looks like the tires and finger guards under the deck are causing those uncut layovers to take place. b) If you rotate the stripe angle by 30 or 40 degrees on the second pass, would that have an effect? Is that a feature we should look for?
Added bonus with lettuce is that you don't need to harvest the entire plant. Just cut free the outer leaves and the plant grows more to fill in. Then only harvest the plant when it looks like it's going to bolt.
The biggest problem with these mowers, not that they are bad concepts or even bad executions. They have their use case, that being already well groomed, maintained, seeded yards. i.e. your nice fescue, bermuda, zoysia, etc that has already been well maintained, has low amount of weeds and isnt grown out of control. Main reason for this is the blade design not being like a conventional mower that creates tons of lift to pull the grass, weeds etc into the blades.
⚠ CAUTION ⚠ Purchased new LUBA 2 AWD 10000 for $4178 Worked well for 6 weeks, then stopped Support ticket created on May 20th Issues remain unresolved by Mammotion (26 days so far) Mower now completely unable to mow at all Mammotion not responded to warranty request for replacement Buyers beware, I’m certainly not the only one with this experience
Thanks. Great instructional, detailed video that almost anyone can follow! I can't wait till you add a solar panel to your awesome step-by-step videos!
My problem is that the door on mine warps in the heat, so that the door has a tighter curve that the barrel. Very difficult to latch. Anybody else have this problem? I used a black 55 gallon drum.
This was the best review of the Luba 2 I have seen. Especially in comparing it against the Luba 1. I am considering buying one but the price is prohibitive. I just hate mowing so much that if it works well enough, I may get one. You did a good job showing the issues. You also showed many things like the blades working and going up and down I have never seen. I will be checking out your other videos and my even subscribe. Thanks
Kind of elaborate but i was interested . I have that same Harbor Freight pump but i was going to make my own pump from abs so i can stick the pump in my tank hook it inside and have a stainless shaft i drive it from outside the tank . So when i hook up my hose it will hook directly to the hose bib on the water tank. The motor will be similar but may be Dc with a supply which i seal . This way it saves me all the digging and it will pump out directly from my tank. I want a victory garden like your doing. Enjoyed your hard work. Seems to do the trick . I also want a timer to turn on/off at certain times so i won't have to remember to water.
Nicely done. I did a slightly different method, but like yours better. I bot a cheap sump pump which was designed to remain under water, and put the pump INSIDE the water barrel. I then fitted the small hose (fabricated with repair ends) from the pump to the threaded interior of my faucet in the rain barrel. Right now I have an extension cord that I plug the pump into (wire runs out the top of the barrel). I do plan to put up romex in a conduit to a switch and eliminate the plug in. I like your method better because you don't have a 15 amp current running thru the water straight to ground if something goes awry. I had not thought of putting a separate box for components outside the barrel. I thought yours was well thought out. I have a separate two barrel system out in back of my house with water running off the tin roofs of my two sheds. I might try your system on those. Thank you for the well done vid.
So I did this and immediately found 2 problems. 1. When the barrel was about a 1/4 full it did not want to turn without great difficulty. and 2. Once it was about halfway full, the barrel collapsed around the casters making it impossible to turn. My only solution at this point was to leave it on the ground. I can roll it a little easier and it no longer collapses due to greater surface area. The theory is great but reality is just not there. What are you doing now for compost?
I made this one with some changes from other videos. However thankfully I DID NOT put half inch holes all over for aeration, as some videos recommend, but instead put 8" dia .holes at each end like in this video with aluminum screening over them sealed at any gaps with construction adhesive. These barrels can become a housefly breeding mecca, and half inch holes would allow uninterrupted travel.
