    Installing Diesel Exhaust Fluid System

    Did you live in China? I only visited Beijing once - the weather was fantastic when I was there, but that was back in May 2012.

    Installing Diesel Exhaust Fluid System

    My understanding on a system, the DEF is injected into the exhaust system in order to facilitate the removal of soot from the DPF. There are NOx and O2 sensors before and after the DPF to monitor the difference in these compounds. I have all the components already. a (complete system) so...

    Deleting? I don't see anything about deleting a DPF. Did someone post about deleting a system?

    Installing Diesel Exhaust Fluid System

    I can remember the times before DEF and the disgusting, sweet, sickening smell of diesel exhaust and seeing the plumes of black soot billowing from the exhaust of tractors, trucks, cars, and semis. Now, there are young people who never experienced the 70's - thinking it's "cool" to delete the...

    Didn't they just pass legislation for diesel pick-up trucks?

    Installing Diesel Exhaust Fluid System

    I want to add a diesel exhaust fluid system to my tractor before California makes it mandatory. Does anyone know of someone who's done this? I don't want to wait because all the components will be sold out as soon as it's announced. I've looked at battery powered tractors, but don't think...

    M7060 tires

    Curious as to what you finally found out. I'm trying to also change mine. There doesn't seem to be much clearance with the 420/75R34. I'm also worried about changing sizes with the 4 wheel assist/drive - I'm worried if I get different sizes / circumference than the original, I'll damage the...

    You say there is "no charge" to install the kit?

    Post #22? What does your post #22 say? Mine doesn't provide any insight into what is required.

    Good box scraper with hydraulic rippers for 35 HP tractor (27 HP at the PTO)?

    Yes, when down - there's a mechanical lock that locks them in place all the way down. If all the way up, they'll stay up. But if put part way down or not all the way up then they'll leak down and drag along the ground. Of course they still have the pin, and clip with 3 adjustment holes on the...

    Cold Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) and engine damage

    4 hours seems excessive to install the kit. What did the dealer itemize on your invoice?

    Good box scraper with hydraulic rippers for 35 HP tractor (27 HP at the PTO)?

    Benny, I'll compare my B2650 with a BB1572 and R4 tires to my M4 with a HR3584 with R1 tires. M4 tractor weighs nearly 8,000 lbs and the HR3584 weighs 1097. The B2650 weighs 3200 and the BB1572 weighs 850 (I added 500 lbs of 1" plate steel). I just used the M4 with the HR3584 to break up a...

    Rear Ballast - It's More Complicated Than I Thought.........

    Those cast wheels were a quite an expensive option on this last tractor I built - an additional $4,000. I forgot about those foam filled tires. I bought a set for my rotary cutter and they weigh about 90 lbs each - If I filled my rears with the same thing the filling for each tire would weigh...

    Rear Ballast - It's More Complicated Than I Thought.........

    I'm into owning my 3rd Kubota (M Series) and living in the interior of Alaska where temperatures hover in the -20s and dip to the -50's in Winter and sometimes touch 90 in the summer. Sometimes we have dry summers and other times we have a lot of rain. Coupled with a high water table, it...

    Rear Wheel Weights

    I'd like to visit your Beet Juice man..... 100 gallons of beet juice and an extra 2 hours labor to wash your wheels? I got quotes from NW Tire between $6 and $8.80 (USD) per gallon plus $125 per hour in labor and that's with 75 gallons in each tire. You should send your Beet Juice man...

    Rear Wheel Weights

    You don't put Calcium Chloride in a wheel without a tube. If someone tells you it's okay to do so, you need to go somewhere else because that person 1. doesn't care 2. isn't intelligent enough to give advice or 3. Is giving you malicious information.
