These reports of going up/down 50-60 degree slopes are pretty amazing. 60 degrees is 2/3 of the way to doing a face plant or a butt plant with the tractor, depending on whether you're facing uphill or downhill! Is that really something a person does with a tractor and gets away with it ...

Hello Baldwin, I've sent you a "conversation" message re. the 4560

The usual FEL controller with a single "joystick" is much preferred for loader work because you can easily do combination movements simultaneously (curl/dump bucket while raising or lowering the arms), with one hand. You can probably do similar things with a two stick setup of course, but you...

Thanks for the correction. That does indeed seem like a really low number, doesn't it? Have never heard of an incident involving ignition of SUDT2, and you have to know there have been countless tractors whose drivetrains have gotten really hot.

Be careful with Kubota model numbers. The original loader for a B7300 was an LA271. The LA272 was for a later model, the B7500. I wouldn't assume they are "close enough" that one would work in place of the other. If you can find the correct new Kubota loader for your tractor, jump on it...

Must apologize for putting out that bad 260 deg. flash point number. It did come from what was labelled an MSDS sheet for SUDT2, which I took in good faith as legit, although I can't find it currently. My bad. And I agree with the advice here that warm and even hot temps are the norm when...

Great to see those pictures. Thanks!

Harbor Freight will sell you a lifetime supply of multi-colored zip ties for cheap. I used them to color code the FEL connections after learning the hard way that colored electrical tape doesn't last very long.

Using the bucket for moderate towing can be very useful. Notice I said "moderate". It's very possible to bend or warp the bucket or even the loader frame by trying to jerk something loose or pull something extremely heavy. Since pulling/pushing forces pass through the hydraulic cylinders to...

Using the 4wd will increase your productivity quite a bit and the drivetrain is built to handle most loader work. If you're moving material or even digging soil - what the loader is designed for - you can control how much load you put on the drivetrain with the FEL controls and by simply...

Here's the issue with safety when using the 3 point for towing: tractor 3 point hitches are made for lifting, not pushing down. So the 3 point will hold something from hitting the ground, but it won't prevent it from rising up! That can be a bad thing with the tongue of a trailer, for...

Either the shear bolts or a slip clutch can work; it's again entirely a matter of usage. My neighbors have used old beater cutters with shear bolts for many years. They're not too careful about what they run over with them, and they eat lots of shear bolts. My cutter has a slip clutch but we...

You haven't said anything about what you will be doing with the cutter and the L3940. If it's periodic mowing of an open, basically smooth field, the L3940 would probably run your big cutter under those conditions, but you likely wouldn't need or want a severe duty cutter like that for such...

+1 what Pat said. Also remember having a longer trailer gives you some margin to position the tractor for proper balancing.

Sorry about that. It's been a while since I was last over there. That was quite the place... too bad they couldn't keep it going. I see the Leinbach-branded products are still offered by Everything Attachments.

Everything Attachments seems to have good quality implements, going by the the brands they offer and the comments of others, but you might save some by shopping around also. There's an outfit called Leinbach's in East Bend (near Winston-Salem), that deals in implements and Kubota dealers...

As the owner of a 4 ft blade for my BX, let me advise you to heed the others' advice and get a 5 footer. Mine is used for the rare snow events we experience in the Carolina's, for which it's adequate, but the larger one would be more effective and a BX would handle it readily. Filling the rear...

Congratulations on a very nice setup. It sounds like you will be doing a lot of work with the FEL... that BH92 will be a great counterweight for such work. Enjoy.

Box blade vs grading scraper... hmmm. Grading scraper probably is the ideal implement for driveway maintenance, but won't "carry" material to relocate it the way the box blade can. Also box blades are generally less costly and, being shorter, make a handier counterweight for loader work. Box...
