1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

This worked surprisingly well, the fan is held in place by hopes and prayers, and my hand when moving up or down hill

Sounds like a permanent solution then.

Can get the same effect if you just drive the mower faster. Much faster.

This, kids, was how the V8 solved the climate crisis.

True luxury

I've done this with another brand of 18v battery fan. But I used a couple of bungee cords to strap it down to the hood, stays on through bumps and hills.

The only drawback is when you pilot the mower through a cloud of dust and it blows in your face

I'll have a look for the best mounting locations, this sounds like a pretty good idea.

I've heard of hardware hacking for John Deere tractors, but I like this one the most haha

Get some water misting in front of it and it’d be heaven!

Sic. Is it powered by its own battery or attached to the tractor's battery?

[–] Reckless_Moose@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 week ago

It's own, the fan is from the M18 line of tools, that fan is s godsend when summer camping.
