    That control box is better than one you would have paid out a grand for, a lot better built and a fantastic paint job. Can't wait to see the plasma table in action, will definitely be useful in the short and long term. 👍

To lift it up to the right height !Oh and when you pull a hydraulic house thru the machine, tie a rope/wire to the end, so you can pull a new one back thru the same route ! Hey Aaron, You didn't say "Vacation" enough, in your video!

    The Yankee tradition: use it up; wear it out; do without. Heck of a lot better than tossing the old box and buying one from China. For that matter, rebuilding the plow is the ultimate in recycling. When it's finally beyond fixing, it will bring the same for scrap. It will probably go for decades after DP and MBTS are both retired.

    Me personally, I'd have an indicator light to tell you when all the cooling fans are on the High setting. Then you can cut your ground speed back for a moment on a super hot day to help get your temps back in check. Might be hard to hear them and it will make you look at your fluid temp gauge(s) as well. You have those relays and should have an auxiliary set of contacts on those fan controllers.
