I use my SSQA HLA 900# pallet forks as a 'grapple'. has worked great for past 7 years'. Economical to buy, NO 3rd function kit to buy $$$ or install, Easier to install( no hoses ! ). Since it weighs less than a grapple, you get more payload. Once you get using it , it's easy to haul ugly brush...

curious, like my cat... looked up KX040...avg is 10,000 # tires 'good' for 15,000 # total what does trailer actually weigh and any other 'payload' ? My 'gut' says you're really close to maxing out the tire capacity. assuming the trailer is factory made, what does the mfr use on it ? also ...

drag a stout bar with old tire chains,up and down 3-4 passes once every 2 weeks,you won't have weeds but you'll have a real nice driveway ! Late farmer cross the road did that, simple, cheap , EFFECTIVE.

A relative did the same, used a free swimming pool sand filter....amazing how well it worked !

curious, found this... so Wt, the #120s are the 'cam clutch', allow power from engine to implement but not the other way due to the 'ramp and notch' ??

gut says 'better safe, than sorry' ! look at 'online parts' or WSM, see how the PTO is connected and what the cost of parts will be when you 'backfeed' the cutter's energy into the tractor. A small 'cutter' shouldn't be a problem but a 7 footer could be. Hopefully those with the SAME tractor...

My 'gut' says it'd be a real good upgrade. All the towable chippers have 'disconnects' and they remove drum from engine before turning the engine off. has to be a real good reason for that !!

wow, that video with the barrel was PAINFUL to watch ! My SSQA HLA 900$ pallet forks are far superior to that 'new fangled' grapple. Weigh less,so higher payload, NO modification to tractor, NO lost time adding/removing either.

sadly you can't( well not easily) ....looks like excess fuel from pump returns to it and there's a vent as well...but you could replumb..... here's the diagram for a BX23S tank to see how it's done now ( simpler ....)

I'm thinking you have a BX23D tractor. I've attached the 'fuel tank' diagrams and that 2nd small tank is NOT on the BX2380/S series( newer tractors). Odds are real good THAT small tank is FULL of 'bad stuff', as well as the main fuel tank. what is odd , is than NO part number/info in the...

weld....... WHAT ?? very important to know what you want to weld ! hmm... tin 'artwork', car body panels , build your own trailers, repair farm stuff ?? If welding 'thin tin', then a MIG or fluxcore machine is probably best,. For the heavy stuff like trailer building, an old skool 'AC...

OK, I have to ask... why are you mowing the field ? I have farmers that pay for 6-10 acre fields near me so instead of YOU cutting grass, you could be paid and watch crops being grown and harvested.

Essentially , you'll get a tracked forklift, with 'pick and place' capability ! Could be very useful. I had a 5,000# outdoor forklift for 18 years, it was a GREAT machine. Aside form moving a zillion 'skids of stuff', it'd place logs onto the sawmill, stack freshly milled lumber, raise bents...

this.... https://rivercityspecialtytubeco.com/products/1-125-od-x-125-wall-x-875-id-dom-steel-tube-astm-a513-type-5 might be the correct size ???

had a look online parts, 'normal' fuel sensor mounted on plastic tank... I suspect a crummy ground from the sensor to chassis . The 'should' be a black wire attached to one of the 6 screws securing the sender to the tank.
