Very much admire the job you did. Takes lots of inguinity and effort. Well done.

Have an new L6060 with Cat 2 3 pt hitch. Rear tires have total 1200lbs rimguard and I'm going to order a cheap cat 1 3pt ballast box (Chinesium, 5 cubic feet, 800 lbs) to balance the loader capacity. Going for about $240 delivered. I'll need bushings to get the cat 1 to fit the cat 2 hitch. As I...

I have security cameras on my lot to protect my equipment. Was reviewing video and noted a tired looking, hunched over, slow moving older guy hobbling around perusing my gear. Was befuddled by who this could be until I noticed I owned the same clothes as he was wearing. Funny how we have this...

Don't you just hate when that happens in the middle of the job.

Thanks Mtn. Appreciate the feedback. I'll have to do a little more digging to figure out what I need.

Thanks Saw. Much appreciated.

Thanks Jay. Once again, you come through with great advice. Much appreciated sir!

On the topic of top and tilt options..... I have new tractor (L6060) with one rear remote installed which was intended for future hydraulic top link. Considering adding option for tilt as well. So... do I get a second remote kit or do they make a diverter switch/ valve to switch function of the...

Have read multiple posts here on the forum regarding towing and having the 3 point hitch rise up causing potential damage or injury. I ordered my new tractor with a rear remote (at the suggestion of a tractor friend) with the idea of adding a hydraulic top link to add down pressure to prevent...

Finally had a break in weather long enough to finish roof on shed lean-to yesterday. Will eventually install some rafter ties. More snow coming tonight but can't accumulate under lean-to anymore. Now just have to shovel out the frozen snow, add tarps to the sides, and move the small equipment...

Yep, I see your point. I buy cheaper off road diesel (dyed) so I would not be able to use that in my truck.

Yep, saw those. Pricey when compared to Jerry can though. Guess I can have convenience or money in my wallet, but not both, lol. As mentioned, raising can up ( step ladder, pallets ) could work with siphon. Or maybe raise can in fel bucket and then siphon with long hose? Build a shelf on a...

Agree. Hate trying to juggle a heavy can while trying to depress "safety" valve to allow flow while trying to keep spout on target. I take cap off completely and use D cell battery cheapo pump from Harbor Freight.

Thank all. Appreciate all the knowledge sharing. Great forum, great folks.

Thinking that's wherec the term Jerry rigged came from as well.

I know this is a trivial post, but discovered today that a 5 gallon gerry can of diesel fits perfectly on the step of the L6060. Does require keeping a knee pressed up against the can while using battery pump to fill the tank. Sure beats trying to pour by hand in the cold.

Only long enough for the carry all, ballast box, etc. 2-3 feet? I have a Land Pride FEL pallet fork (3000lbs capacity). But when I mount the front end snowblower, it is time consuming enough so I'll leave it on the front end for the season. Hence the thoughts regarding using the 3 pt hitch for...

Thanks guys. A point of clarification. I took this pic from the Homestead implement website. I own the multi receiver hitch shown but not the quick hitch. If I cut and pin 2x2 tubes in each of the lateral receiver slots as Jay suggested, I will have a "pallet fork" type of arrangement. I can...

Hello welders and fabricators. I want to weld up a carry all/ballast box that will attach to my adjustable cat 2 3 pt receiver hitch on a L6060. I've drawn a crude pic of what the base of the frame might look like. I'd use 2x2 square tube to fit into the lateral receivers as well as the option...

Many bee products have been reported to have health benefits. This includes honey, propolis, royal jelly, apitherapy (intentionally getting stung), inhaling air passed through hives, pollen, etc. Of these, only honey has demonstrated health benefits in well designed studies ( used in wound care...
