Nice rehab on that pump ! That looks like a good way to go. I use a rattle syphon so I don't spill any but lifting the 5 gal. jugs is starting to get old and it is a little slow. gg

I had a Red Maple succumb to the wind earlier this year. I pulled it out for firewood yesterday with the L3010 and Farmi 290 . At about 12 feet up the tree forked into two leaders. Both leaders split off, each going in opposite directions. One laying flat on the ground and the other remained...

I would think that it is likely that when you removed the first filter it allowed the second filter to partially drain thru the open fitting.

I bought a used 1.5 ton Pronovost that I pull with the L3010. It has removable front, side, and tail gate panels. And the tail gate hinges from the top or the bottom. It will haul a yard of gravel. I added some stake pockets and rub rail side stiffeners and also a 1-1/4" Reese hitch...

1000 hrs (y) gg

It is August so I have started moving my wood for '26/'27 that has been split since May into the wood shed. Use the old reliable L3010 to do it a little at a time while I have some shade. gg

On my M5640 I made a lever that clamps onto the 3ph control lever at the operator station and extends out the back so that I can raise and lower the 3ph from the back. The linkage is all mechanical, When I am standing on the ground where I can reach the OEM lever I can't see the 3ph over the...

It's been too hot in my book to do much in the woods but I did managed to clear couple blow downs from across wood trails this morning. A small job even for the L3010. I winched out a small fir in two pieces. Then I dragged them to a brush pile just down the trail and added them to it...

^^^^^^ Good idea on the blow gun access holes chim (y) I will steal that one. gg

Me too gg

Pretty good load of firewood on your B and homemade forks (y) gg

The new 3rd function switches on the loader control handle for electric valves are great. I have one on the M5640. But if you look close you will see that I made the control lever for mechanical 3rd function valve on the old L3010 so that I can control the FEL and the grapple with one hand...

I have the same tractor and loader. Back in 2011 I added a mechanical 3rd function valve for the bucket grapple I have on it. I posted the project on the another tractor forum back then. Here is a link to it...

To add to the above ^^^^ If you go with the cross-draw-bar you use a tractor hook with it also available at TSC. Or you can put it on your lower draw bar. gg

Like others have said - it is easier and safer if you can get the end of the log off the ground. Do you have an implement with a grab hook on it. Or you could bolt one on (Ken's Bolt on Hooks) maybe or weld one on. Like a box blade or rear blade. You could also get a cross-draw-bar at TSC and...
