    USING RPM to clear Disel buildup?

    Re: PTO RPM check your owner's manual for specifics. Most older gear tractors have an index marker on the tachometer labeled 540, that indicates 540 RPM at the PTO

    To 4WD or Not To 4WD

    The USFabrics folks are great to work with, very helpful. Geotextiles are usually placed between the soil base and stone or gravel to prevent loss of the aggregate, stabilize the surface for load bearing as well as to help control drainage. Likely will not work over intact concrete slab. I use...

    pulling power of an s75 skidsteer?

    Any idea what your tongue load will be? SSV75 Operation rating is 2690 lbs lift at the bucket, tip over is twice that, 5380lbs. The closer the ball is to the front edge of your bucket the more your lift capacity will be decreased. Easy for me to say but it would be much safer to move your...

    pulling power of an s75 skidsteer?

    If you are asking about a SSV or SVL 75 skidsteer or track loader I haven't found a specification for pull or push capacity. I have used a SSV75 to move unloaded 30' flatbed trailers and 32' unloaded horse trailers on flat ground without issue but the wheels broke traction going up a short...

    Hookup Implement should be uphill, downhill, or level with a QH

    The easiest hook up is likely to be when the plane defined by the attachment points of your implement are parallel to the plane defined by Quick Hitch attachments points. If the implement is leaning away or towards the QH or the implement is rotated with respect to the QH you will likely end up...

    M62 front quick coupler not quick

    Some things to do or think about if you haven't already. Lubricate pins, check for debris in pin movement path, check pin range of movements without attaching an implement. One other poster had bent pins. Are the hydraulics laboring when you move the pin? Does it happen with multiple...

    Craigslist comes through again with a snow blower and a 3-point receiver.

    That 3- point hitch configuration may be for a goose neck 2 5/16" ball. Is there a receiver receptacle on the back side? If so you`ve got even more flexibility. You may need to switch to a 2" ball for a receiver type hitch.

    newbie fuel question

    After readiing entries on this site for the last few months it's clear that water or debris in diesel is a common problem and can cause significant engine issues. If you are storing diesel in a 5 gallon container as opposed to a larger tank with a dedicated filter consider a filtering device...

    Buhler front end loader

    The position of the FEL arms relative to the hood looks different right versus left. But again this could simply be a photographic illusion, like the tire size anomaly. Consider parking it on flat, level ground, such as a concrete slab, and checking measurements and angles to see if the...

    Pallet Fork

    The other important factor for tractor pallet fork fit is assessing the adequacy of your tractor rear end ballast. Your safety and the function of your forks depend on it.

    Over the tire treads

    Appreciate everyone's response. Apparently another option is switching to a turf tire like the Mighty Mow

    Over the tire treads

    My SSV75 skid steer is mostly used with a bale handler on a hard surfaces, it works great in that application. I'd like to put it to other uses but the R4 tires and skid function are hard on turf and pastures. I'm considering over the tire treads to decrease wear and tear on the grass. Any...

    Exhaust Extension Pipe

    I have treated over 1000 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning and I only saw the worst. In many cases internal combustion engines were the source. Many of the cases were suicide attempts, car running in the closed garage. Accidental car related poisonings are generally due to a compromised...

    SSV75 50 hour service

    Understood and appreciate your input. The hydraulic filter is below the reservoir tank. I was thinking there would be a significant leak when it is removed.

    SSV75 50 hour service

    This is the first new piece of equipment I've had the pleasure of owning so its my introduction to the mysteries of the Kubota 50 hour service. I've read the owners manual, perused the WSM, and read many threads in this forum about the 50 hour service for other equipment. For the SSV75 the...
