    How to measure fluid level

    You can add red dye to the hydraulic system or you can replace the sight glass. For replacement, get on a side slope angle where the oil goes to the other side. John Deere makes a red dye, https://shop.deere.com/us/product/MT3668:-Hydraulic-Oil-Dye-Fluid,-D-50,-12-ml/p/MT3668 Only need 1/2 or...

    Need Advice (Desperately)

    Insurance call first!!!! Chaining front axle up to the front end loader, and/or to the brush guard. Most likely, remove front tires, use the FEL to raise and slide up the hill on... good luck. If you are in the Hillsville area, let me know. Plenty of heavy rescue truck along the interstates!!

    Hydraulic Top Link Kit

    DOESN'T WORK, SEE NEXT POST BELOW... It's going to cost more (and I doubt there's a "kit") but buy the valve with "Float" for the top link and you can push or pull it out as you need. I don't know if it takes much effort to move the piston when it's in float. BUT make sure your toplink...

    Stalling tractor when using posthole digger

    Take smaller "bites" into the ground. More up and down... Always have your foot on the clutch, Once it starts to cork screw into the earth, step on the Clutch. Good to have a 2 or 3 foot pipe wrench to unscrew the auger instead of rocking back and forth.

    Box Blade

    It's been a long time since I was looking for implements, they seem to have dried up. But I did get a 6 footer, box blade (no name that I could find). It's been really good and helped build a road to my creek. Got it for $250 and I'm sure I could sell it for more, now... You have to be...

    Carry All Platform as Ballast Box

    To the OP, for the price of the Titan Carry All, you could buy a good welder and learn to build one. Teach a man to weld, he'll build all kinds of implements. In my case, I bought majority of my implements used, I learned to weld since almost all of them needed to be repaired with welding.
