    3PH bent? Maybe

    So a couple few days ago, I hooked an off road tow strap to my trailer mover on the 3PH, and connected it to an old truck bed liner about half full of 1/2 millings. Trying to fit between the boat an a building, I got hung up on a ramp. Moved boat, turned hard right, got the rocks where I need...

    Got my PF1242's and took a few pics

    I didn't negotiate, he called, I showed up, rang up that price and loaded them into the back of my truck. Then I went across the street with my wife and got flowers. But that was ok, because the dude there gave me 4 pallets for free. Not a lot of free pallets in my area, and can really only find...

    BXPanded Hydraulic kit

    Thanks, that is the info I needed. More volume is what I was looking for, and it looks like this kit is not the way to do it. I'll look at Auger Torque, they have a couple models that require less flow. Trying to avoid a 3PH PHD so I can have reverse. When I get back to MO, the ground is not as...

    BXPanded Hydraulic kit

    The item is listed as a "pressure test & adjust kit", and includes some shims. I am just not familiar enough with hydraulic pumps to know what I can do with it. I'm 99% convinced to just live with a 3PH PHD, as I'm not interested in the expense of a PTO hydraulic pump.

    BX23S Backhoe Hyd Hose Connections -

    Shut tractor off, wiggle around the control lever. I have to move mine a lot before the pressure is relieved, ilke into all the positions several times. Once that pressure is relieved it'll go on like butter on a hot biscuit.

    BXPanded Hydraulic kit

    Just poking around to see if it's possible to safely increase GPM on my BX2680. Does the BXP hydraulic kit raise the GPM's? Trying to mostly stay with Land Pride if possible, and the SA20 Auger minimum GPM of 6 is too close to my max of 6.2 GPM. Seems I have to dig 40 or so holes every few...

    Ballast Box

    Yes, it's a Titan. On sale right now. And I need it. I got 4 pallets from a nursery today, and the BX2680 was unstable with just 4 wooden pallets on the forks. I could feel the rear end trying to rise above all the hate and nonsense in the world today. Ballast box should simmer it back down into...

    Got my PF1242's and took a few pics

    Dealer yesterday told me 2 weeks. Called me today, said the truck was on the way. Stayed until after closing to hook me up.

    Ballast Box

    I found one on Titan that has the door to empty and 2 pipes to hold tools, on sale, after tax was 301 and change and free shipping. My dealer called me also, there is a truck with some PFL1242's on it coming tonight, and he'll stay late for me to come grab a set, about $100 cheaper than...

    Ballast Box

    Is $300 what I'm going to spend on a ballast box? Wanted to go with a heavy hitch and suitcase weights, but suitcase weights are insanely priced, and I can't find any used ones local to me, or any tanks anyone is getting rid of I could make one out of. Gonna fill it with concrete once I get...

    Newbie question

    So....after doing a bit more looking, and reading these replies.....the E&T's do look not at stout as I'd probably like. I'm going to keep checking with my local guy and grab a set of PFL12's when he gets some in. 80 pound weight difference should not make a big impact for my use.

    Newbie question

    I called my local dealer today. Sold out, "might" get some in in two weeks. Most of the call was him trying to sell me a Hustler mower. These E&T are the lightest I could find with the rear guard, and I haven't seen any negative feedback on any of their stuff. Hopefully the forks are as good as...

    Newbie question

    I am ordering the Earth and Turfs today. 160 pounds total, 31 inch forks. Should work for anything I need to do on my tiny hobby farm. I'll report back after I get a chance to lift a couple things. Plan to fill my 40 gallon sprayer and see how that does. .

    Tooth bar for bucket

    Got it this afternoon, put it on, don't have much to try it out on since it's raining. Did try to pry up an exposed root in the yard, no go. Maybe if it ever stops raining I'll get to the hard packed dirt in the pasture. Now on to window shopping stump buckets.

    Stabilizer arms $170 on ebay

    Yeah...as much as I'd like to support a small business, the wait it expected to be next spring. Not sure I want to wait that long. I hate the turnbuckles, bust MY knuckles every time I adjust them.
