@@Murdermax14 yes the floor is polished a bit, it does still pick up on a rough broomed finish like on my door aprons. however I bet that would wear the bristles down faster. should work good on a regular concrete floor though
@AveryHastings1 thanks for the quick response, I get so tired of blowing my shop out, it just basically spreads the dust around and then settles again. I eventually would like to grind my floors down but I built over a 30x40 concrete pad that was originally meant for outside so we got it brushed. Polished floors are so much nicer to your knees when working on anything lol
@@Murdermax14 Yeah I hear you there, do you use a leaf blower? I picked up some shop fans from HF for the meantime to blow dusty air out but need to install a ventilation fan in the gable end. I feel that grinding a brushed floor would be fairly quick.. you just knocking down the small ^ shape lines even its not all the way
@AveryHastings1 yea I have a battery powered milwaukee leaf blower, that's what I usually do is open all 3 bay doors and I turn on 4 shop fans... best I have right now lol
I wouldn't want a robot, would probably suck something up it wasn't supposed to and also would probably fill up in the first pass and then need me to empty it... so I might as well do it myself with this
Im digging way back in my memory but i believe we took the guide wheels off, so they didn't get hung up on bigger rocks and such your results my vary especially going of my memory of all people
I feel like the guide wheels would be more effective on the sides of the unit behind the brushes so it sweeps the floor clean in front of them instead of in the middle where it's brushing the materials
@AveryHastings1 I used those sweepers or whatever you want to call them at a precest concrete plant. So there was always rocks just the right size to stop you dead in your tracks. And of course it always happened when you had a good rhythm going. I'm sure there's a better spot for the caster but I never found it so off it went. Either way they're a great tool and sure beat a shop broom. The electric one we had lasted a day before we ditched it cause it kicked up so much more dust. But this was awhile ago. Hopefully things have improved since then.
Does it work on rough concrete floors? I have an old automatic car wash bay I converted into my detailing bay but the floor is pretty worn from decades of use as a car wash. Getting really sick of using a broom lol.
to keep the dust down I assume? I would rather not get the bristle wet when they do it builds up heavily on the little flaps on the bin. at least when I nick'd a damp area and little puddle that's what it did
I’ve had the same model for a couple months, for the $90 ish bucks I got it for, it’s fairly good. I use it to clean a large car port and it picks up 5 lbs of blown in desert sand nicely. Just gotta tip back the bin every so often to make room for more. Multipoint adjustment is much better compared to the Karcher. Also so long as one wheel is spinning, the main spinning brush will continue to move. One tip for the front wheel. Clean it out throughly first and hit it with some spray dry lube. It doesn’t collect as much dirt as an oil does and has held up really well in my case for the last 3 months.
I'll definitely do that, I pam my sawmill tracks that does the same nothing sticks really for a while. I've been typing the bin up like you do. all in all the price was right!
I've been replying a lot but stick with dry lube. Wet grease holds sand and whatnot and eventually acts as an abrasive. Plus, it's a bigger pain to clean.
Oh I know! It's a drawback as much as it's a benefit lol I was thinking of mounting a hand vacuum on the handle to the dust pan cause it does kick up the fine silt a bit when I'm walking faster on the final sweep.
@AveryHastings1 I guess they do make a few with batteries. they're Big $$$, even the Ryobi is $500. . . A small vacuum on the collection portion to keep dust down would be sweet too. Basically a mini street sweeper. Make it take DeWalt or Milwaukee batteries. . .
Maybe drill a hole in the collection bin and put a female vacuum attachment, then you can hang the DeWalt battery vacuum off the handle and have it connected.
You probably know by now that the battery's on!y use is to turn the starter motor to start the engine. You can completely remove the battery after the engine starts and it will continue to run all day if you don't close the fuel control lever. The diesel engine requires no electrical power to run. The fuel in the cylinder is ignited by compression.. Stop the fuel flow and/or air intake will stop the engine.
yes sir but we tried it all at the time lol, in case the fuel pump had a electric shut off valve in it or was still pumping we unhooked all electrical. Did shut the fuel off in the back by the tank, I rewatched the video and I see I'm repeating details lol
It was quite impressive though, there was a couple pin hole rot holes in the bottom of the air intake filter housing, so when I cut off air supply it was able to keep running pulling through those 2 or three tiny holes. we had to hurry and rip intake manifold apart and choke it out there to finally get it to shut off. I did get a call from the new owner a few weeks later he couldn't get it to shut off... he was sideways on a hill and it was running off oil again because the oil level was high enough on that one side. he pulled it down flat and it shut right off
We all know gun safety, and to clarify he did not get in front of anyone shooting. The cannon was discharged and pointed to the sky... that's like telling by the bystanders behind me to not stand in front of me... when I turn around afterwards and put them in front of me lol. Safety of firearms and what not to do was explained by the parents, both ex- military.
we will have to try that! these were over 3 year old ciders the sort of felt like they was less in it. A few of them landed softly and we got several shots out of them
Haha maybe if they brought it in pieces! I think it will be just right for me but everyone says "you'll always wish you'd built it bigger" This started out at 36x40 then 40x50 and I settled with 50x60
@@nhhbbyloggr5022 Yes Doing anchor bolts and epoxy on Sunday, and standing the back wall first so I can hook up radiant while waiting for the floor to cure another week. Then I should have a telehandler here to set the rest of the steel
@@nhhbbyloggr5022 absolutely anytime shoot me a call if you're venturing out this way. I'll get more videos up of the progress hopefully in a more timely fashion lol
@@matthewbarnier4099 should have lol but was stumped on what it was stuck on because it's a clean bottom. All the other ice was broken up small except apparently that one piece it was teetering frame on. I think he had been through it several times prior to this run too
You need to always get the John Deere oil filter. I wouldn't take a chance on a after market one. It has a one way valve in it that retains the oil in the filter even though it's upside down.
Thanks Tim! I'll pass that info on to the new owner. I had wondered how it was supposed to do it's job when upside down but the filter came with it when I bought the machine so I just slapped it on
@Midnight Cowboy. The video is poor quality and doesn't show surrounding area or where the work was to be done. The weld was up behind a wall and another wall with about 9" gap to see up 3-4' in there and well out of reach. A ladder would not have helped.
