Just as a box blade would work, a LPGB with rippers would be just that much better. they do work in open fields quite well. As far as using the bucket as a rear blade cutting, if you look in your owners manual, you should find that it is recommended to never back drag with the bucket at more...

This is true, from economy units to extremely expensive units, they all work good, some better than others, but ALL of them seem to work pretty good. ;)

While I still think that a LPGB would work the best for you, once you were done it wouldn't do you much good where as a box blade pretty much always has some use for one thing or another. ;)

Do you have a driveway that needs maintaining? If you do, than a land plane grader blade would be your best bet. It will work GREAT for taking care of humps and such and then you could use it on a regular basis to maintain your drive.:cool: Just a thought.;)

Yes it can be done, replace the side links of the 3pt hitch with longer than normal hydraulic side links. Not advisable though, the internal lift stops are not made to take the kind of stresses that could be put on them. :( The problem with putting down pressure on the implement based on the...

The problem with using down pressure on the 3pt is that when you do that, you take pressure off of the tires and therefore you have less traction to pull the implement that you just put that tractive force onto. It really is best to have the weight with the implement.

Take the pressure line that feeds your loader valve, disconnect it. That line needs to feed the new valves at the in (pressure port) that you are going to mount for your top & tilt cylinders. (be sure to get both of the valves with the float function and power beyond ready) You then take...

I know the difference between a detented 3 position valve and a 4 position valve that has a detented float position. There are circumstances where a person can make good use of the float function for both the top link and side link. If you have and use a PHD, you are going to want some QDS on...

So the valve with 2 float functions is $303. :D You can get 3 hoses and 6 female QDs with all the other fittings needed for $97? :confused: And of course shipping is apparently free? :cool: You are a much better shopper than me, that or we just don't shop for the same things. ;)

You might have said some place else, :confused: but what tractor model are you considering?

Get at least one with the float function, both if at all possible. There are situations and circumstances where it is nice to be able to put hydraulics into the float position. The huge plus with having the dealer do this is that you get the tractor and all this stuff is done and ready for you...

Can you please let us all know where you can get a 3 spool valve,(2 should have the float function and 1 either detent or just spring return to center) power beyond ready, 3 sets of female QDs and all the rest of the plumbing for $400. :confused:

What are you going to be using the tractor for? :confused: If you are going to be doing about any grading with a 3pt implement, then there is a good chance that you are going to want either a complete top & tilt set needing 2 rear remotes or at least a hydraulic top link requiring a single rear...

Especially Kubota's HST+. :cool: Anyone that has an HST that either moves on it's own or will not hold in place on it's own needs to have it looked at. Mine stops on it's own, will even hold itself in place when on an angle when loading on my tilt bed trailer. ;)

Can someone tell me what size & type the fittings are on the hoses that go from the hard lines (at the hard line) to the female QDs in the cast iron bracket? Thanks ;)

A lot of people don't know how to use a clutch. If you do tasks that require a lot of back and forth movement, HST is just plain easier. If you work on hills, HST is usually safer for most people. If you are farming out in the fields, it is normally thought that you are better off with a...

Push the clutch in half way and the trans stops, push it all the way in and the pto stops When you are mowing is a good example, you want the mower to be running all the time, not slow down or even stop each time you step on the clutch. If the 3800 is only $1000 more than the 3200, that is...

Is your tractor ballasted? That will make all the difference for using one of these implements. The GS2584 is probably ok for your tractor. I would think that the 96 would be a bit big. Honestly, for the price, I would buy it no mater which unit it is. If it works, it works, if not, and it is...

You might want to consider one of these. http://www.landpride.com/products/82/gs15-series-grading-scrapers I have found that there is nothing better to maintain a drive than one of these types of grader blades.

The main reason for bringing up the aftermarket stuff, because (typically I recommend to go with OEM valves) the OEM valves on the STD L models are no where as nice as they are on the 40 series or the M models. ;)
