This I shall do!! This is what I shall do!!!! Thanks so very much for your help!!!

I’m in the process of attaching a pintle hitch to a drawbar. What is the best way to do it? I don’t mind welding it to the drawbar but can’t find anything that would work. If it could bolt to it would be even better. (Amateur welder). Any advice or photos would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

I’ve learned a hydraulic cylinder I have taken to a hydraulic repair shop is going to be around $2k to be repaired. (Pitted rod etc). I don’t know the exact measurements or specs on the cylinder. It’s approximately 6” in diameter and 36” long. I’m told the bore is 4”. It’s a standard single rod...

I did. No luck. They do have things there. But, for example, the side link is only half the diameter of the oem. Cheaper? Absolutely! About 1/4 the cost. But would never last. That’s why I’m hoping to find an aftermarket company that would carry the equivalent quality, but for less cost. The...

Thank you! Where are you finding the aftermarket parts?

I am in need of parts for my L3200 hst. Aside from Kubota, is there a good place to purchase parts from that’s less expensive but still good quality? Or, is it the classic case of you get what you pay for? I need minor things like loader pins, side link and lifter arm. Thank you in advance!

Got it! Went very well!! Far easier than working under it. And a ton safer than working while the bed is raised,…

Thank you! I’m going to do that!

I got to thinking George,… due to safety concerns,… Would it hurt to lay the trailer on its side to pull the cylinder?

Thanks George! That’s great advice. I will do that for sure.

George, a bit off topic,… how would you approach the connection/hitch going from the trailer to the tractor drawbar? I don’t want to go cheap on it as I do not want to have to worry about something breaking and have the trailer slam into the rear of the tractor,… (or me:). I really like the...

Thank you! I’m actually going to use 2 4x6’s as well as my excavator bucket/teeth will be holding the lip of the bed. Can never be too safe!

Thanks George! It’s just an old dump box and framing from a dump truck. I love it! And I’ll have a tractor suitable to pull it with before long. I wish it weren’t as high as it is, but payed next to nothing for it so no complaints. Couldn’t stomach buying a new one and tapping it with the...

Thank you!

I’m about to remove the hydraulic cylinder from my dump trailer. I have the hoses disconnected, (going from electric to hydraulic straight off the rear remotes on my tractor),… The question I have is, when I lift the bed of the trailer to get access to the bolts securing each end of the...
