In the past I've had plenty of frozen bolts, stripped nuts on Jeeps. The best thing I've found is to weld a nut onto the damaged surface. Just place the nut over the damaged area, and weld the inside of the nut to the surface. It does two things...gives you a new head to use a socket or wrench...

Filled the truck up this morning...$4.19

It looks like the tractor originally had a FIXED ROPS on it, so it should have the mounting points. One could always be fabricated. Could try contacting local tractor "salvage yards"... SSTractorSalvage Do you have a post on forestryforum.com?

If I know I'm going to be off it doing something for more than 10 mins...it gets turned off. In cold weather I always use the block heater for easier starts. Usually have it plugged in for 30+ mins. Once started, I let it warm up for 10 or so for the hydro oil before using it.

I have a 3030 and as stated, they can't be changed. Looking at that 3PH Hoe...you get what you pay for. I have the BH75 and there's no comparison. Sub-Frame is the only way to go. Like the old saying goes..."Spend Once...Cry Once"!!!! Why not to use a 3PH backhoe...

(y)(y)Thanks...good to know. This is the one I originally looked at with the 10K rating matching the trailer...Curt 17500

I'll contact Curt directly and ask....thanks!!

I figure I'll be around 7K...8K tops, so I'm looking at the 8K distribution hitch even though the trailer is rated at 9990. From what I've read, you want to match the WDH to the trailer load it will be seeing, and not the max GVWR.

That's a nice lookin trailer!!!! I ended up buying the 18' 10K trailer this past Saturday...it's steel. EVW is 2,775 lbs. With the tractor I figure I'll be around 7K. Truck GVWR is 9,000 lbs. I plan on installing a Curt TruTrack 4P Weight Distribution Hitch that has anti-sway as well.

As Maverick would say..."Scissors...you stink"! :ROFLMAO: Glad you got out in one piece!!!

The BX should be enough for your needs. Having a backhoe is really handy!! I agree with others that $5K seems a little high for a 6K trailer. I just picked up an 18' RICE trailer this weekend. It's a 7x18 10K Car Hauler and it was $5350. The 18' 7K version is $4490... 7K Car Hauler, the 16' is...

It's my neighbors custom coupe...I think it's a 32 Ford.

I already did that early this afternoon. ;) I'm going to build a simple framework so I can cover it with a trap to keep the snow off it.

It's disappointing to buy something new and have a problem right out of the gate. I bought a new 2023 Silverado 1500 with the Duramax a month ago. Drove it home and the DEF warning shows up on the display. I'm like WTF...did the dealer forget to fill it. Got home, when out and bought a jug, and...

Picked up the trailer yesterday. My Neighbor tagged along to look at a Ferris is600z zero turn, it was on the home from the trailer dealer. Turned out to be a nice unit. It was a 2013 with 219 hours, super clean! The trailer was a little "bouncy" feeling with nothing on it. Once the ZT on it...

That was a steal!!! I have some 1/4" plate and was contemplating making my own...sometimes it's just easier to buy things and be done with it!!!!

That's what I was thinking as well. They just seem to make sense. These are a little more money, but nicely made. Hell you guys convinced me to move up to the 10K trailer...why not the better D-Ring Stakes, it's only money!!! :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Does anyone use D-Ring Pocket Stakes to tie down (Like these), or just hook the chains in the pockets??? Just curious.

That came out really nice!!!!!!

Those are good ideas! I figure once I get it, I can fabricate any add-ons I might need.
