Get on Youtube and check out "Mel Bartholomew's SFG potatoes" incredible results. I just started some seed potatoes that way, so far it is going as planned.

I was thinking of an affordable way of lubricating the axis of a milling machine but this idea will work any where.

That is an IR camera. It will work in total darkness.

Where in Texas? I am in the Magnolia Conroe area.

It is amazingly useful. Unfortunately my FEL is much stronger than my baby tractor is stable. I must resist the temptation to overload it. Be very quick with the control, ready to drop. My plan is to build a cage that stiffens it up and adds more protection. Nice work btw.

Kubota sends a wooden block to keep the clutch pedal pressed down. A small piece of 2x4 placed under the floorboard would work too.

I have those lights on the front and rear of my truck. They are unreal! Expensive for sure but you will not find a stronger light source. If you so much as turn them on momentarily at night, returning to standard high beams seems like the lights are off. Pure bright white light! In fact here is...

Exactly what RP said. It would take 2 hands and or more time. This is almost intuitive in use.

I am using the curl function of my loader. When I push the momentary button it diverts the flow of the hydraulics to a separate circuit, in my case the grapple. I believe this is referred to as a third function. The only negative is to remember the return to the middle position of the joystick...

I mounted my diverter on the arm that holds the joystick. That way everything comes off as a single assembly. The motorcycle brake light switch ( the mechanical kind used in rear brakes) which is cylindrical and has the wires sticking straight out, not at a 90 degree angle. Will be installed...

What are you using to control the grapple? I bought a diverter valve from Surplus Center and just use a simple switch (momentary pushbutton, to be replaced with a motorcycle brake light switch and a roll pin) it works great. Much less expensive than the WR Long kit.

Yes I did get the green machines. The smallest model 20" IIRC. It is finished and plumbed now, this was a pic during lay out.

I did not use the flow restrictors when installing my thumb kit. It works great. I haven't crushed but the most rotted of logs. I did receive the restrictors just opted not to use them yet/ or maybe ever.

Ok here it is. This is just a function test. Which it passed quite well. I need to paint the brackets, clean up the wiring and I have an idea for the stalk mounted switch that will work great and be inexpensive. http://youtu.be/Iloh4sgL1kY

Here are the pics. If you do find a ROPS for 150, let me know too! Though I fully plan to modify this one.
