Yeah, i would never bother with adding an increment less than 50 lbs if you have a choice, considering the 3pt will lift 500 right from the factory. You can also try leaving the blower on the ground as you back up. That is likely a similar weight difference on the rear tire contact patch, as...

I think it will work, but i would actually recommend only 2 bolts per side vs 3. The tensile strength of the bolts will be extremely high, so you should be more concerned about the amount of metal you remove from the main rail for said bolt holes, than having enough bolts! Just my .02 on that...

So those side rail pieces, as far as i can tell from the pics, are the EXACT same pieces used in the b219 subframe. The differences i can see are that yours have the plow brackets hanging off the front, whereas the b219 subframe has a large angle iron welded across the bottom right under the...

True, but even if you buy 40 of them that's still only ~$160 + tax.. compare that to the 'pre-assembled' price of a CMP 3pt dethatcher at ~$450: https://www.lawncareattachments.com/collections/dethatcher/products/3-point-dethatchers?variant=31954999443537 Not saying that price is super high...

So im a car guy first and since adding power steering is probably a lot more common on cars than tractors ive carried some of those thoughts over with me too.. I have a toyota MR-S with electrically driven hydraulic pump, similar to the S40 setup although the volvo stuff is a lot more common...

I too want to add some accumulators. I even snagged some old ABS accumulators off old cars for free.. Pretty sure the pressure is already compatible but not sure the bladder material is as it seems a lot of things are safe for either oil or brake fluid but not both.

The braces in the very middle of the B2 19 subframe that go up to the trans tunnel box are a pretty thin piece of metal that you could easily add yourself to whatever existing subframe you have. it sounds to me like you have a pretty darn good starting point. Post some pictures if you get a...

I have a gear and an hst kubota, both with loaders. In all honestly if i could change anything about the gear trans it would just be to add synchros. I actually find the HST to be slower than the gear tractor IF you have to change speed ranges just because the 3-range shifter on that tractor is...

Its normal for the gears to ‘not line up’ when nothing in the trans is spinning. Have you ever tried to shift into every gear in a manual transmission car that had the engine off? Most of the time the shifter will not go into every single gear without a bunch of screwing around. So this...

If its electric you could try cleaning connections and looking for any damaged insulation on the wires. Usually with coolant temp sensor circuits extra resistance will read colder not hotter but i cant say ive checked every single type. The fittings where coolant temp senders screw into engines...

If you don't accidentally have the parking brake set, or part of the mower acting like a scrape blade gouging off some dirt, then the most likely thing is simply that you should not be trying to go up a hill in high range while also using a bunch of your hp to spin a huge mower, and pulling the...

^Good stuff. A lot of times you can find those old 'side delivery hay rakes' broken for almost no money, and there's a whole bunch of those spring loaded tines, gearbox, wheel hubs, heck there's at least TWO other implements in there if you're a fabricator. :LOL: They also sell those tines at...

Front tires should be at or near max for loader work. Not much downside to max pressure in fronts as they dont affect ride quality as much, and because they are narrower their shape distorts less with pressure. With wide bias ply rear tires if you overinflate them the tread area will distort in...

I think a landscape rake is a better tool for maintaining (not repairing) a drive than a box blade is, but it'll still be finicky to blend out edges and require you to mess around with the 3pt. Gauge wheels will help A LOT. But im inclined to agree that unless you have some other use for it...

I ordered a clutch and pilot bearing and then... never took mine apart. I've felt it slip when doing highly repetitive loader work but it holds if i dont get it hot. It's possible that since i bought parts i'll just never need them now, like JerryMT was saying. Kinda like if you spend enough...

The only thing im gonna call you is someone who read my whole post, that makes you a 'rare bird' :ROFLMAO: I have run a bunch of tire setups on b6100 and 7100 and that 4wd lever 'tension' thing is a foolproof way to know whether a tire setup is 'unhealthy' due to size mismatch. It will always...

Yeah, i think we have to imagine this in terms of skipping 70 years of tractor progression. Like, if you went from having no tractor to having one as good as they were circa 1980, it would seem like a dang miracle. They never had to start it with a rope after building a fire under it and then...

If you are doing your own welding I would say just get the weld-on fixed thumb from Titan because the worst thing that's gonna happen is you're not going to like how a couple of welds look and end up going over them yourself, or adding a little reinforcement here or there. Other than that what...

You need to figure out if any tires are slipping during this. IF any tires slip during the hop it could be something like excessive lash in the front driveshaft meaning that if one diff 'unloads' because its tires start to slip, the other end gets a 'running start' taking all the play out of the...

Very cool tractor! You're right on track about the mower weight not helping stabilize the tractor unless the 3pt is actually holding that weight up. Using tire fill is the first easiest thing to do to improve your loader counterweighting. I dont see any problem with using turf tires with...
