The ssqa investment makes sense. If the trees are as small and the soil as sandy as you’re saying, i dont think it would be particularly painful going if you still had taller trunks to push against. Since they are already cut so low you are basically down to digging or grinding them out and...

Ah, that's the one i was talking about! Still borderline for a BX, which is the main problem here. The one thing i would say is that it doesn't cut things and grab them in the same motion so if you can lift the attachment at all you can cut limbs with it. Now picking those limbs up to carry...

I have not seen that type of attachment in ‘BX size’. I think you’d get something close if you look for ‘tree shear’ attachments. Tractor Time with Tim reviewed something like that on a jd 1025r a while back, i dont remember the name but if you scroll through his youtube channel youd see it. I...

Well mechanics often DO have a switch on jumpers of some form or another, either homemade, a ‘starter switch’ which is basically a pistol grip and trigger hooked to two long jumper wires, or a power probe which can be used as such. But people who don’t diagnose things for a living probably dont...

Thanks for pointing that out. That’s what i get for skimming. 😂

I dont think there will be a problem lifting it. I also recommend the 48. I wouldnt recommend any cutter any narrower than 48 on an scut in general. Any smaller and it just doesnt make sense because if the size between 48 and 42 is a problem you should probably be mounting and powering this...

So electrical issues aside (jumping at the starter wont damage anything electrically) the damage you’ll cause comes from the arcing when forming that connection. Every time you do it you will leave small pockmarks on the parts. If for example you do this on a threaded stud a bunch of times, you...

Ive found i can’t ever get to the point of feeling like something is ‘mine’ until i’ve either taken it pretty far apart and then back together, or modified it. Since my Kubotas are so reliable i am basically forced to rely on modifications. 😂 Nice work!

Ive been planning to DIY it using some old ABS accumulators and see what happens. One thing the kit doesnt mention is what pressure they are precharging the assumulators to. Unfortunately you can’t have it do the same thing at all times because the pressure in the base end of the lift...

A “good” blade tip speed for GRASS cutting is about 200mph, or 17,500 feet per minute. You get a 5’ bush hog, 5 x 3.14 (pi) gets you ~16 ft circumference or 16ft travelled by a blade tip in one revolution. 17,500 / 16 = ~1100 revolutions per minute for the tips to travel 17,500 feet in that...

From what i remember it is around 1.4:1, but i suspect there is a range. Easiest way to find out it just to look up ‘rotary cutter gearbox’and note the ratios.

Yeah you can get all kinds of valve core tools including those little 4 ways with the taps and die on them, valve stem dust caps with the tool on top, double ended with the bigger hvac side on the other side, a 'torque wrench' clicking style etc etc. ALL of them are cheap. I think i bought a...

Glad this is fixed, but just to point out for future reference since it didn't 'stick' so far in this thread.. The part with the little post in the middle is called a schrader valve and they are simply threaded in and can be replaced. There are many styles but on a tire's valve stem there is...

Well somebody already posted a link to a chart but basically it just comes down to the thread diameter and pitch with some wiggle for other factors. But i will bring up what i think is a relevant anecdote. Sometimes lug nuts on cars do not get tightened adequately. How tight does something...

I'm just going to share my stump bucket technique which i've apparently written out way too many times so im copy pasting here:

A regular 3pt angle blade or 3pt landscape rake will both work fine for pushing brush around if they can be reversed (ie face outward at the rear). Or, if the 3pt will lift the blade/rake high enough to go over the brush and drop down, you could drag it forwards before getting to the pile and...

The smaller the tractor, the more weight it needs added to safely use the loader. There are posts here and there about people never having to add a pound to do something but generally they are talking about much larger tractors which weigh more relative to their loader capacity to start with...

If it is the correct reverse rotation mower deck im sure somebody out there wants it, that stuff is not too easy to find. Nice looking tractor! Post more pics some time.

Looks like the crucial search term is ‘tang’ ended cylinders. Very useful tidbit to pick up, thanks for posting that! 👍

Very cool. I am planning to build a form of quick attach for the front of one of my tractors that will pick up 3pt and mini skid steer quick attach implements. I am anticipating that having the quick-hitch style top hook on the loader with no implement actually attached will give me the same...
