This may sound crazy - unless you are going to be beating the hell out of something IN THAT vise - find an old rim, 15" 17" or whatever, drill some holes in the plate below and mount on the rim. Stable base - easily moved too. Even if you have a time mounted on the rim - it will still work...

Great idea too!!!! I got one it seems like a 100 years ago - Great minds think alike! The hardest part for installing was allowing clearance around the ROPS - I think I measured 8 times and cut with a multitool. It did fit like a glove. And the other hardest part is installing the #$%$@#$ thing...

The check valve ........ the one on the rear? You did not mention fluid type you are using?

Sounds like you have water in the linkage of the controller - once frozen it will not allow the full movement to release?

I am assuming ............ that the instructions "think" that you will not have a FEL on the machine??? IF this true - the FEL is better than ANY weight you could add to the front. As Hugo and Jyoutz said ...... there are better ways to skin this cat!!!!

You have an FEL on the B7510? I assume it is a HST drive? Let's determine the slope of the hill first. Do you by chance have a 4' level handy? IF so ........ Find an average sloped spot grab a stick or another small piece of wood, hold the piece of wood on the end of the level when LEVEL...

" SUDT2 is a superior formulation especially well suited to HST transmissions " Go ahead - "make my day" and use something else in the HST that other manufactures say "meet Kubota's hydraulic fluid specifications" "A man's got to know his limitations!" that's two Dirty Harry quotes...

US version I have used this exact one dozens of times!!

A diesel heater? I take it there is a built in vent for fumes to exit the cab? Is there a fresh air intake also? Ping beat me to an idea to bring the cold air back into the radiator.

You have the geared or HST version?

Secret #1 if you do not have the other means of holding up heavy tire. Before jacking the frame up to remove the tire - jack it up ONLY enough to allow the tire to tilt towards you, so basically the tire is just touching the ground. Roll the tire left or right enough to get out of the way, then...

I am not very familiar with the B1550. On another note - there is nothing wrong with a geared machine, used one for many years, the ONLY reason I would consider one, is IF I needed all the HP at the PTO. Any type of moving back and forth, the HST will win hands down, as for open field cutting...

The B7100 is a mule on steroids........... but I do not think it is the right one for you. A BX with FEL will do more work than a B7100 with a FEL. The L2650 in your list would have be ideal......... As for hours - 2000 hours isnt really bad on a well taken cared engine... emphasis on the...

They will claim it saved them money doing that!
