Yes, Henro, it does affect the height of the deck but if the front edge of the deck is pulled forward a bit and lifted, the rear edge lowers. So, it could create a little more space between the rear tire and the deck. But...I defer to your knowledge and the knowledge of others. Rube Goldberg...

Henro, you and I have worked on our mowers in the past! I know exactly what you are experiencing. So, I have a thought: I wonder if tightening one side of the front link would pull it just enough to one side? (I know what I'm suggesting but don't know how to say it!) Since that front link...

Check with Mountain Man (on this forum). He may have something or know where you can find what you need. Tractor Gal

camaro88lover, I regret the circumstances which have thrown you into what may seem like an insurmountable amount of learning. BUT, you must have some ability to "do things" or you wouldn't be reaching out to ask for more detail. That, in itself, will speed you along the learning curve. The...

All of the above thoughts are quite good. My thoughts parallel others. I bought a home with 5 acres many years ago. The fenced yard is about 3/4 acre, the rest is combo of pasture and some wooded area. At first, I used a push lawn mower. After two seasons of that, a used ride-on was a...

After looking at the web pages, the Antler grapple for JD was interesting. My BX is older than 2013, so it does not have a quick attach bucket. Wouldn't the Antler Grapple fit a Kubota BX with a regular loader, not a quick attach? That would be a handy little item. Of course, orange would...

A tiller is worth the investment. For most of my gardening, I had always just used a plow and a disc. In the Fall, I would plow the soil under, allowing the weather to do its work until Spring. As leaves fell, I would shred them and put onto the garden, and along the way, add chicken and...

My only response: Follow the money. Tractor Gal

This discussion certainly gives credence to good preventive maintenance, especially oil changes. Some of the discussion was beyond my understanding, but I was able to fully understand that oil changes are not a waste of time or resources. Keep that little baby Orange purring! :-) Thanks for...

Very entertaining video. Thanks for posting. TG

Seeing that you've posted is like music to my ears, Dan. It's wonderful to learn that you are progressing well and that the pain is minimal. Or are you just a tough "Old Hokie?" :) As others have said, try not to rush things. Spring is just around the corner and worth waiting for. I'll...

I'll have to ponder this, GJ. As I continue thinking, I question why I don't just try to learn to take the backhoe off and on more quickly. I've only taken it off once and recently put it back on again. So, practice would make it go more smoothly. Thank you for taking the time to explain and...

Yes, I understand now what you are proposing. I'll put it in the pocket to consider as I go forward. Thank you. TG

No, I'm going to try to use U bolts to attach vertical 2 X 4's and then figure out a way to attach them to the top of the dipperstick somehow. It's a non-welded Greensvillejay device! Right now I'm just thinking. It's cold and I haven't done any measuring or looking at the actual backhoe yet...

It's kind of you to offer suggestions. Pushing won't work in this case. I would like to pull a 30 gallon boom sprayer that runs off the 12V battery of the tractor and a small estate sized manure spreader. They would not be especially heavy but would have some weight, of course. The pasture...
