i will try to get a video up soon, it makes any kind of work a ton easier. my son seems to think it will lift his civic but i told him he better not even try. that might get a little harry. i think it will lift around 2000 pounds safely,

well fellas i have not posted in quite some time but i just finished a project i wanted to share with you. i am pretty excited about this one. i built a small lift in my garage that i can either use inside or out in the driveway, it will lift my b7100 (loader and all) up to where the bottom of...

i built my loader for my b7100 and posted pictures on here a few months ago, it cost me around $2000 just for materials when you start to purchase hydraulics they add up quick, i think if you find my post it tells the suppliers i used and they were the least expensive at the time. many many...

i used standard 3/4 x 1 x 2 bushings and 3/4 x 4 pins from tractor supply

I made a loader for my b7100 and it works awesome except for the fact that it drops like a rock, which makes it extremely hard to handle. I spoke with the hydraulic shops around me in Michigan and they only had the adjustable inline restrictors for around $90. i talked to VIC and he explained...

hey Vic i hate to keep bothering you but i can not find a flow restrictor at any of the local hydraulic shops. any help would be great. also it goes in the out port right? i have in, out, pb. the out goes to the fill cap adapter

how many gpm is the b7100 putting out and what do i need to restrict it to

i looked and found a few but im not sure of the gallon per minute on the system and what to reduce it too.

well when it is done post some pictures so i can get some ideas im at a loss on this one

has anyone made there own canopy for a b7100?? i was thinking of doing this but was looking to hijack some ideas from the net but have been unsuccessful at finding any real nice ones. i have seen plywood to barn steel and truck bed liners :eek:, was kinda wanting something good looking or at...

here are the final pictures of the loader after paint. it is all ready for use. it lifts real high, l did not put a tape on it but i'm 5' 10" and cant touch the bottom of it.

hey Vic, i used the hydraulic line roughting sheet you had posted a few months ago, i ran the in to the in and the out to the fill port and then the pb to the port in the hydraulic block next to the in. my question is would the loader go down any slower if i switch the pb and the out? my loader...

I got all the hydraulic lines and fittings from https://www.surpluscenter.com they are about the least expensive i found. i looked at the receipt and the cylinders were $271 with shipping and the fittings and hose were $212 with shipping.

thanks guys, to answer some questions the total cost start to finish was around $1500 it could have been cheaper but i did have a local machine shop water jet the "S" brackets but the were only $15 each and i had a shop blast and paint it. I'm in Michigan and the weather sucks right now and i...

I finally finished the loader it was a long and some what more expensive than i guessed, but it works great and it is out for paint right now. thanks to Vic for the info on the hydraulic block from Kubota it made it a lot easier. i will post a couple pictures so you all can see it, like i saw...
