Sensible logic.

Yeah, he built them much like what you see on commercial/industrial telehandlers. The purpose there is not so much to get them out of the way as it is make them quicker and easier to adjust than a forklift without finite settings and also prevent breaking the curling cylinders if it's tilted...

I hope you have the ROPS lights on it, though. Gonna be a bit dark looking through that with the stock headlights.

That guard looks remarkably like the one on the LX2610. But I don't see the latch on the RH side (LH in the picture) like mine has. This looks like something that's a really smart idea for moving around in brush. Most of that grill is plastic, and probably a bit pricey to replace. Where did...

I got some of this to do, too. Need to move the run-off from the roof away from the house. And like me, looks like your soil is about as gooey and gummy as mine. I have two kinds of soil. Clay, and ROCK. Even the trace amounts of what I'd call top soil in this yard have the consistency of...

Got a good afternoon of tractoring in. Neighbor had a couple old rotten logs he wanted moved. When I got there, I saw some rather large bumps and craters from old fallen trees, much like my own back yard. (Surprise surprise, he's two houses away). So, to access one of the logs, I had to be a...

That is exactly what I was talking about. I just didn't want to come across as a know-it-all, nor a critic. I like the ingenuity and the design, and CERTAINLY, the cost effectiveness. If there was some sort of groove or hook on the heels of the fork that captured and used the rigidity of the...

You have a point about loading on the rod, but one method to fix that is hardened steel rod, not mild steel. For most anything I'd be picking up around here, wider fork spacing is better, ergo, they'd pretty much always be at the outer edges. Then it's just the shear strength of the rod to worry...

Me LIKEY!! Was gonna comment on the gorgeous welding too, but read through all the comments first. Pass the welding flowers on to your fabricator. Did you put anything under the edge of the bucket lip at all, or just let the back of the forks rest against the edge? I really like that...

The Kubota website hasn't been updated to reflect that the B-Series is discontinued. It has been replaced by the LX series. A bit larger beefier tractor, and the new model is giving dealers some incentives to sell a little cheaper than the B2601. I'm happy I let my dealer talk me into a...

I hit each FEL zerk with 3 shots. I saw 5 was way too much on the first pin. The SSQD latches took 4 before I saw the new grease ooze out. As most have pointed out, tacky high pressure grease leaves a mess. I knew this going into the task, though. I just didn't bring enough rags and had to...

Got about 10 hours on the clock, so went and bought a new grease gun (air operated) and a case of Hi-Temp Moly EP grease. Just out of curiosity, with an FEL, and normal tractor lubing, any one give me some general idea how long a 14 oz cartridge will last, and also, some idea about how much to...

We've got your stinkin Canadian weather down here in Alabama at the moment. I think it got lost on it's way somehow. Freezing at night, cold/wet during the day. Come get this crap. I'm used to wearing shorts and a t-shirt the first week of December. Global warming is a hard sell to me after...

I'd suspect both are dimming with the hazards flashing. Elaborating on what the OP said, tho, if you have a poor ground connection to the lights, the larger element in the dual element bulb will draw more current and create some voltage drop at the bad connection. This will put a bias on the...

No, just galvanized. I took them off and put them in the toolbox till I need them. You can see my drill and hammer in the photo. I'd just finished mounting them when I took the pic, and did a trial fit with the clevises to make sure the bolts didn't interfere. If I put the bolts in with the...

Here's a combination of what I wanted and what one of my dealer's mechanics suggested. I put grab hooks on the top edge of the bucket so I could use the bucket cylinders to help with the lifting/pulling, but also added clevis rings (D-Rings) to the back of the bucket down low. If I have...

Drop your RPM a little to make it more gentle until you are more practiced with the joystick. Part of the jerking will be when you feel like the load is dropping too fast and you're releasing the valve quickly, or perhaps even pulling it back a little too far and opening the raise valve. I do...
