Victor Electronic Rat Trap
The Victor Electronic Rat Trap is the ultimate in rodent control. It works by delivering a humane, high-voltage shock to effectively kill the invading rat. This powerful device is capable of killing up to 50 rats per set of fully charged batteries (4 C), making it a great value when you’re dealing with a sizable infestation. It’s also easy to use! Get started by simply applying a high protein bait in the provided bait cup, place the trap in a location with high rodent activity and turn it on.

The trap is equipped with advanced smart circuit technology, which senses when a rat enters the tunnel, triggering the system to deliver a humane, high-voltage shock once the rat steps on the electrified plate.

For your convenience, the trap’s design allows you to easily dispose of the dead rodent without having to see or touch it. The new and improved design of the electronic trap has a removable kill chamber, which provides better plate access so you can easily clean and bait it in between uses.

Go Kart Won’t Start – Clean the Carburetor

#gokarttrouble, #gy6, #gy6carb, #gy6issues
I give a basic overview about cleaning the carb on our buggy go kart. The carburetor is always a trouble area if the engine is not cranked or started at least once a month. This go cart sat for a year or so without ever being started so the fuel in it evaporated and gummed up the jets.

Cheap Evergreen Trees for Windbreaks and Privacy

#privacy, #windbreaks, #evergreenprivacy, #evergreenhedge
I purchased some evergreen trees online to use as wind breaks and to block out views of the neighbors. Some on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2RLo7nf . These came out to about $2 USD per tree and where shipped moist in a wax box. That is very cheap for trees.

These trees get very tall and grow fast making them an excellent choice for quick privacy.

Easy Way to Remove a Stuck Bearing Race

#stuckbearing, #easyway, #bearinghacks
I show an easy way to remove a stuck bearing race from a shaft if you are stuck without a bearing puller or other type tools.

The bearing on my 14′ batwing shredder was worn out and needed to be replaced. I ordered the correct tapered bearing but needed to remove the old race before installing the new bearing.

This simple hack works for a lot of things that are stuck around a shaft. This little hack will get you out of a jam!

Our Pole Barn Build in a 10 Minute Timelapse

We built a 40′ x 80′ x 16′ pole barn with a 4″ concrete pad on the property to use as a shop and RV cover. This video shows it from start to finish in 10 minutes.

The pole barn was built by a small building company in Central Texas and cost us about $45,000 total including the pad. That did not include the wiring and lights, but pretty much everything else in the video.

Our pole building is not planned to be a house or barndominium home. The foundation is more of just a concrete pad than a load bearing foundation. That’s pretty common for pole barns.

A pole barn is one of the easier type of barn builds. I was going to do it myself, but after adding it all up for materials and concrete it came very close to what I could just pay someone to do it for me. It would have taken me a lot longer to build also by myself.

Pole barns are basically just post and beam buildings. You put posts in the ground and you use trusses to connect the roof. The wood purlins are there to hold on the sheet metal and that is about it.

Chinese 3pt PTO Wood Chipper Assembly and Test

I ordered a 3 point pto wood chipper / mulcher online to chip up some cedar I had on a few acres. I looked around and most of the lower priced, and even most of the higher priced chippers were all from china and all pretty much the same chippers with different stickers on them.

I ended up getting an 8 inch chipper so I was not just chipping limbs and small branches. Overall it was great. The assembly was a pain and the instructions I could find were horrible, but I assume most people could assemble it without the instructions anyway.

I chipped all of my cedar except for the stumps and it did great. Sadly, I did not take videos of the cedar chipping. I was in a hurry to get it done and completely forgot. I added some test footage through so you can see it run and chip.
