From what I've been told and researched I've done, the check valve helps lock the cylinder in place. Keeps it from floating. I've used my hydraulic cylinder now for a month. I've had my box blade and bush hogged connected. Where ever I set the cylinder, it never moves or drifts. I'm glad I got...

Hmm. That would be news to me. My hour meter adds up no matter the rpm reads. I just called my Kubota dealer to ask them if they had ever heard of this. He said he's been working on Kubotas for nearly 15 years and no machine ever made by Kubota tracks time on the machine based on RPMs. He said...

Your hour meter must be defective. It doesn't matter if you run the engine at 1000 RPMs or 2500 RPMs, the hour meter should measure the amount of time the engine is running. Previous owner must have known that. If your ratio is correct, you may actually have nearly 800 hours on your tractor.

Well, on second thought...maybe now. I just checked your local craigslist for box blades. Not a single one listed. I guess things are much different here in North Carolina than IL. Sorry I wasn't much help. :rolleyes:

Have you checked Craigslist? There are always plenty of box blades on craigslist local to you. I bought a nearly brand new 6' King Cutter box blade that was used 1 time for $450. I would think if you're looking for a 48", it would be much less than that. In my area right now, there are 9 box...

No. The services I provide with my tractor include bush hogging, garden rototilling, box blade, auger/post hole digging, and back filling. My policy covers me to dig up to 3 feet. Post holes are about the deepest I break the surface. Most of the time I only do 24" on those. If you plan on...

UPDATE- Hey guys. Just wanted to provide an update on my hydraulic top link install. I've used it for 2 weekends now with the box blade. I bet it has cut my time by 30% working on driveways. It is so nice being about to adjust the angle of the box blade or shanks on the fly. I agree with what...

Bought my Grand L 4060 last April. Currently have 179 hours on it. 179 of pure joy I must add. :)

I bought a landscaping policy with 2 million dollars of liability coverage. Costs me $400 per year. I also fully insure my Grand L 4060 with Erie for another $160 per year. Total policy $560 a year. Money well spent. Tractor business is good. I'm working about 3 weeks out right now and it's...

Do you think this one would be better? Closer to the top link specs I have now? This one retracted length is 18 1/8th"

Have you installed one? If so, did you go with the 8" or 11" stroke?

Hey guys. I spent the better part of my day adjusting the top link on my box blade scraper. I always shorten the top link up to use my rippers on the initial passes. Then I let is out some to level the box blade to do my scraping. Finally, I lengthen the top link to smooth out the final grade...

Overview Slime Tube sealant prevents and repairs flat tires caused by puncturing objects up to 1/8***8243; (3mm) in diameter. Slime works repeatedly to repair new and existing punctures and is guaranteed to perform for up to 2 years! Seals multiple punctures repeatedly. Non-toxic...

Well, I guess not. Mean he gets to sell more tires. lol

I bought this spreader from Agri Supply here in NC. They will ship anywhere in the US. I used it this past weekend to spread rock salt. Worked great. $400. Hold 10 bags of rock salt or 500 lbs. Highly recommend it. http://www.agrisupply.com/cosmo-fertilizer-spreader/p/34140/

I have used the green slim tire sealant in my front tires for a while now. Works great. I was always getting small leaks or punctures in my front tires while bush hogging. Now I have the time to return back home and plug the hole without having to do it in the middle of a field. I bought the...

Update- Well, got the hydraulic diverter installed yesterday. Took me less than an hour. Key advice is to take the diverter as I did to a hydraulic shop and have them give you all the correct fittings to make sure everything matches up. That's what I did. I have $75 in the fittings and $175 in...

UPDATE- Hey guys. Decided to go the diverter router for my snow plow. Cost me $172 after shipping and looks like I'll spend about $75 in fittings. End cost around $250. Much more acceptable than the $800-$1,000 price tag for a 3rd function. If I were a grapple user, I could see the expense of...

Very true and you are correct. Our ground is rarely that frozen here in NC. When I've plowed in the past using ATV's and my RZR, I only used the skid shoes when I plowed gravel roads. Do you guys use skid shoes on pavement? Seems like it would eat your skid shoes up quickly. Plus, I've always...

My buddies that have used these type plows and truck plows all tell me the first thing they do is remove the skids. They said they are worthless unless your plowing a gravel road (which I don't plan to). I also watched a youtube video with Paul Short. He has a ton of plowing experience. Check...
