My brother moved near a rural king about 7 years ago, it's such an amazing store. Like a Walmart and TSC had a baby but more of the TSC then Walmart. My box blade came from them, absolute best price around, even when looking at used ones at the time. Batteries are pretty much all made by...

My SCAG Turf Tiger had a solid seat. Picked up a parts mower mainly for the suspension seat, night and day difference in cutting my 5 acres. If I hadn't scored the parts mower for what I did, I was going to to do one of the options already listed in this thread.

When I was shopping for my 3rd function, I found the actual kit from Summit on Amazon. I went to their site for more info, and it's a couple of bucks cheaper to buy it directly. Summit also offers a discount for OTT members; that info is listed over in the vendors section.

Most utility-type trailer owners' manuals I've come across are very, very sparse with any info. You're best bet for any info would be to figure out what axles are under it and find literature from them.

I went and took in the last few pages of the photo shoot thread and got pretty caught up. I've been turning wrenches since high school at the local garage, then moved into the fleet world. May '26 will be 20 years. I spend most of my time behind the desk now, unfortunately, but I fully...

Being as you turned wrenches, I'm pretty confident you can figure out how to install the 3rd function. I did mine in an evening, pretty straightforward. Maybe I missed it in another thread, but why the sudden departure from turning wrenches and career change to an OtR truck driver?

have a link to the bracket?

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far! For the most part, we have "fairly" flat ground to contend with. The tractor may have to traverse a few miles of easements, but would be trailered between jobs, not driven down the road. Currently, we have an 18 or 20-foot, 10k GVW trailer that would...

I manage a fleet for the local water utility just outside of DC. We are responsible for maintaining our own easements and right-of-ways. Currently, the group responsible is using a 2013 B3200HSD with a 4ft bush hog and a John Deere 325G with a diamond brush cutter pro x to maintain them. The...

Do you have a battery backup wired in for when the power goes out during monsoon season?

Our GE dishwasher randomly quit back in June, did some troubleshooting that suggested the controll board under the unit was bad and google confirmed it was a common problem. $98 later and 30 minutes we were back in business. Did not want to mess with finding and installing a new one with a...

How do you like that kinetic splitter?

Like TheOldHokie said, it's easier to tap the PB pipe on the loader valve. I had already installed fittings when I did my 3rd function install. All I had to do was move one hose from returning into the PB loop after the 3rd function and use it to feed the remotes, then one new hose from the...

That's certainly a possibility!! A buddy of mine pulled some cylinders off a Bobcat-branded skid steer attachment and had good luck with reliability and sourcing parts easily.

Thats a bummer, makes one think twice about buying something sans cylinders and just sourcing your own from like surplus center.
