    Rear grader blade max weight recommendation?

    Thank you. OFFSET is key. My mistake. I thought that the OP had a much smaller tractor than an MX6. Be well. Tractor on.

    Rear grader blade max weight recommendation?

    My 2 cents. In my experience, back blades are good for snow clearing and spreading, not much else. If your box scraper isn't doing the leveling, maybe try a land plane. Or get more experience with the box scraper. As for the ditches, that is usually backhoe or manual labor territory. You...

    FAST B7100

    It seems as 'fast as a fool' in top gear in high range with several inches of play in the steering wheel. It is controllable but dicey on narrow lanes. I lived it in my teens in the 1970s driving the B7100 to do tractor work for neighbors. To by knowledge, my B7100 was before there was...

    Welcome to the orange crush. Nice Kubota you have there! If I were you i would gain experience with the bucket before throwing money at it. There's a good chance that with a few hours experience you'll be pulling off the bucket tamers and they'll be paper weights to you. There shouldn't be...

    BX25D Four-Wheel Drive Shifting

    ^^^ This ^^^ And try driving in a straight line for a few feet to relieve gear mesh on your front driveline. Steer left and right a little might help as well to unload the front driveline. Coming out of 4WD should be easier than going into 4WD. I would guess that there is a treddle pedal...

    FAST B7100

    Yeah, I seem to remember my B7100 being stupid fast in top gear. Steering wasn't an issue unless in top gear throttled up, then it was amusing. Like the disney autopia cars. I miss that B7100 sometimes.
