So the large bolt there is a pressure port you would use to feed an external hydraulic attachment with the 3pt hydraulics. I don't recall if it would only work when you pull the 3pt lever, but im pretty sure you will lose 3pt operation if you take pressure from there. I think you're supposed to...

Judging by those super vague diagrams and the picture of an actual block, it's likely that the only differences between any of them are the port orientations, and possibly the port thread/style. If that's the case, it could probably be 'made to work' with any of them, by having a hydraulic shop...

If 2 tires of a different size are the same price as one tire in that size, i would consider buying 2! But since you have a 4wd they need to stay pretty close to the same height/diameter as whatever you have. I don't know enough about the 'common' tractor tire sizes to know whether such a thing...

True enough! And someone always calls me on it. 😅 I think the awd on articulated loaders is hydraulic awd, as in each wheel has a hydraulic motor, and the motors might be diagonally linked, and the two circuits go through a hydraulic synchronizing thingy (basically 2 motors on a common shaft...

The front axle has some effect on whether you tip over, but only when the rear end has already left the ground. Without a loader the rear end is just not gonna leave the ground basically ever, but WITH a loader you can accidentally get one or both rear wheels off the ground, at which point the...

Simplest rule to implement IF you end up doing this... Idle the engine. That will slow the action of the loader. As far as slowing the action of the loader, you could use an adjustable restriction as mentioned, or an adjustable flow divider. If you use restrictors you would need two if you...

Most types of limited slips would not play nicely with steering brakes. Really, the advantage of limited slips vs lockers is all tied up in high-speed, high traction pavement driving that tractors never do. They could be the best option in some cases for cars, but never, as far as i can tell...

As far as i know (not much in this case) the pine straw rake has a lot stiffer 'tines' vs a dethatcher, so if you're trying to disturb the ground the pine straw rake is likely to do a better job. Also, maybe not everyone's favorite approach but if all you're using the thing for is to scrape up...

If you're trying to convert from a PTO-driven pump, to using the onboard hydraulics (which you may do if you NEVER intend to take that backhoe off again, or want to repurpose the pto pump for something else), then generally you could do that as long as you understand the variables. For example...

I almost hate to say anything after Rusty46's extremely good post, but as a devil's advocate... If you're mowing grass that you don't care what it looks like, you can spin the mower as slow as you want as long as it still 'cuts the grass'. On my B6100/7100s with 3pto speeds I have mowed in...

You can leave it in 4wd all the time IF you basically never cross pavement/concrete, and IF you don't make tight turns. For some people that really is 'all the time', but for everyone else you should be avoiding 4wd unless you actually need it, just to prevent putting wear and tear on the...

Lookin good. I spy some kind of loader and a garden tractor as well. I also like to 'find ways' to use tractors for everything. (y) Looking at that Woods 348 mower, and i googled up some more pics.. looks like the kubota branded 48" 3pt finish mower i have is actually based on some version of...

Well, I understand the concern. I actually have ATV tires on the front of my B6100. Slightly smaller scale, but it has proven to be durable enough for the loader work. There are a lot of ATV tires available around that size. 24" is a tough diameter because there is a lot available in 23 and 25...

Got it. I had assumed it was all of those early 2 cyls and changed when they went to 3 cyls. Glad to be corrected! Next question.. does it have a 'regular' 1-3/8" 6spline PTO shaft? If so, basically any Class 1 attachment that you can lift and/or power with the pto, will 'work'. 10hp at the...

Isn't the problem with finding PTO implements for these tractors the fact that they are reverse rotation?

I found some stuff on my parts tractor that was so tough I think the best way to get it off would be to build a vibratory tumbler as big as a house and throw it in there for a couple of days. 😂 Have you ever seen dry ice blasting? I would LOVE to play with that.

Engine sounds are VERY tricky through video becomes sometimes microphones and speakers can make some sounds seem MUCH louder or quieter than they are in real life. The only thing i heard from the video sounded like valvetrain noise. I am not sure because i've never had to take a valve cover off...

I'd rather have yours than my 'real' b219! Looks fantastic!!

I agree for the most part.. but I have a tendency to operate in tight spaces or, especially around a whole bunch of parked cars, that make me appreciate the maneuverability of a small machine. I just traded away a solid tire forklift because it teetered between punishing and useless on dirt...

Yeah, i think in terms of actually MOVING while carrying a load, front tire durability, loss of rear traction, and axle durability in the longer term, are some of the big issues.. It's a little disappointing in a way when you/we all realize that a loader's capabilities are actually tuned to...
