It's casual, friendly conversation meant to inform, the kind decent folks like to have. I realize it's easier to remove entire threads than reign in posts that cross a line, like it's similarly easier to take a tractor in for service than fix it oneself (in general terms), and like fixing a...

Your grapple has a hydraulic cylinder, so the 3rd function switch position that opens the grapple fills the top of the hydraulic cylinder to retract it, that's the pressure side. The 3rd function switch position that closes the grapple fills the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder to extend it and...

Even mildly political party-neutral tractor-related posts are eventually silently removed, which creates the problem that we cannot be informed of what's going on pretty much anywhere nowadays. As politics continues to invade our lives and restricts our ability to make a living we're kept in the...

THAT's a grease gun! I run a rattle gun for changing wheels and two sets of spacers (regularly), so that's a quick tool swap and ready to go! Oh baby... :love: UPDATE: Oh....man the 1162 (about 3,500 PSI max on 110 PSI of air) seems to pump out volumes of grease, even on the one-stroke...

Looking into what members like @The Evil Twin and @mcmxi are saying it seems: Lucas Red “N” Tacky Grease: Lithium Complex Grease. The primary use is roller bearings and high-speed bearings. Lucas Heavy Duty Mining and Construction Grease: Lithium Complex Grease fortified with 5% molybdenum...

The spindle bearings in a finish mower would be ball bearings, I believe. Flail mower, brush hog, snow blower, tiller, chipper, etc. also have ball bearings on what I consider fast moving shafts. So for those I should have a second grease gun? Like many people here there's a fair amount of...

It seems strange that connector went missing and nothing was damaged in the process...and no bent terminals.

What about the bearings on a mower?

That's food grade grease! I don't want to put it on my sandwich! 🤣 The loader arms are under more stress (which is why I use mining grease), however it's "more stress" on a BX or B...so not much stress in the big picture. Still, Kubota is being Kubota and trying to make everything last near...

Grease: Lucas NLGI #2 mining overkill for a sub-compact tractor but does survive Wisconsin's hot/wet summers and bitter cold winters) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqyzW2gC_Pg https://www.lucasoil.com/product/heavy-duty-mining-and-construction-grease/

Would you post pictures of where the wiring and plug are located on yours? For the life of me I cannot find the plug on mine. I'm pretty sure I know where it should be yet cannot locate it.

It's tiny, but so is my tractor. ;)

None. It's a feature. 😂 🤣

Where do I get quality hydraulic motors and cylinders? eBay can be cheap, however for the effort involved I want: 1.) replaceable off-the-shelf parts, and 2.) reliability so I don't have to replace them (unless I bust a cylinder on a rock or something). That way if I buy one cylinder and use it...

Plus nobody got hurt...tree work is a lot of work and comes with a lot of hidden dangers.

Taking off/on the Front End Loader is easy, the Mid-Mount Mower is a bit more involved though not bad. If you also have to swap wheels and spacers from Turf Tires to something more grippy on a regular basis that's also not horrible...however doing all of that to switch from mowing lawns to...

All went well in the suction department, I'll post a few pictures and you can decide for yourself where your money is best invested. This is after using a backpack blower to blow around rocks and trees, and one trip around the yard with the Cyclone Rake: After the second pass around the...

After reading your posts I thought to look up hydraulic motor chute, resulting in: Clandestoy build WoodCarver75 build With that help I am starting to understand hydraulics a bit more. Given the snow blower "project" and the desire for a modular bucket grapple that works with the Kubota bucket...

How'd you figure out the chute tilt cylinder so it is slow enough to be controllable? Did you use a hydraulic motor for the chute rotation?

I have rear remotes out back and a 3rd function up front (the blower is out front). What I don't have is enough knowledge/experience to put in hydraulics; reliability wise I'm guessing that's the way to go?
