At your reccomendation i bought some Cubitron II flap discs. They are LIFE CHANGING! I'm using 60 grit 4-1/2 discs on my flexvolt grinder and they just eat. You can feel and hear the cutting action in the grinder, and it makes chips not dust! I've always been frustrated with cheap flap discs just rubbing and making heat and being useless after 5 minutes, but these actually make grinding enjoyable and they work just as good as new until they're worn down to nothing. I'm actually a little bit scared to try the 36 grit haha, my part may just disappear!

Well sometimes you could use anything to remove material. That’s the problem when you have all the options available to you, you just have to choose. I chose plasma when I want to be a little more accurate.

When you are in the field, how do you decide whether you will stick weld, use the wire feeder, or plug in a separate mig machine? I've seen you do all three across different videos :)

Can those big pins be replaced? Looks like might be slid in and welded to the frame all around, sort of like a trailer hitch, but I have no clue how these trailers are built.
