Hey - I picked up a used Ridgid 600 power threader to make my life easier. It says that you can cut left hand pipe threads. Does that require a left hand diehead and/or left hand chasers? It uses Ridgid 11R dieheads and I can't find anything available in left hand. Any help is greatly appreciated !

Quoting MURF: That means the "safe working load" of the binders, times the number of binders, must exceed the weight of the object so secured. Period.

I guess i would agree, ...and that god I'm not transporting commercially. But, it seems to me that common sense and adding a safety factor would dictate using more than two chains, even if the tiedown ratings well exceed the cargo weight. Shifting of a load is one thing, losing it is another. If you only got two chains and you loose one for some reason (binder pops, load shifts, chain failure, evasive manuever, whatever), the one remaining is going to do little good, especially since it will be loose quick enough.

Thanks for the replies.

Dennis - you just have to try the sandwich. That's how it happened with me -- my wife stuck this sandwich in my face and said TRY IT. I was totally skeptical, but won over immediately. I think of it as an energy sandwich. I am not a vegetarian at all. I just watch what kinds/cuts of meat, fish and poultry I eat. Almost no red meat tho, except a good fillet and buffalo, no and then. Yeah, I think the key is getting rid of baked goods (mostly) and starchy stuff. I don't miss them much. Good luck.

Looked under the trailer and the stringers are 3" c-channel. The perimeter frame is 6" c-channel. Seems pretty stout, but I'll check with the manufacturer. Thanks for the tip.

This is timely discussion, since I am also looking into a backhoe for my 4310. I heard that some JD's were failing at welds on the backhoe (boom, I think). True?? What about a WOODS ? Will the 4310 handle a 9000X? I like the thumb feature, and would like to really be able to dig to 7' (when I need to, which isn't often). My use is not daily so the Woods might be over the top, but I have learned to buy stronger/better tools rather than cheaper/weaker. Any help?
