    Landpride Rotary Cutter Seal Replacement?

    This is my gear drive. Replace everything once I'm in there? I don't have any experience here.

    Landpride Rotary Cutter Seal Replacement?

    I moved my rotary cutter yesterday and found a pool of gear lube puddled up underneath it. ( I had topped it off a few weeks back ). I filled it back up but must assume it wont go away. I'm guessing the culprit is a seal on the driveshaft from the gearbox to the blades. Other ideas? Does...

    I'm still lifting 5 gallon jugs ( did it yesterday ) but can see those days coming to an end as soon as I get get time for a workaround. I know some have suggested a pump that's driven by an electric drill...

    Concrete Curing?

    I'll go with poured it, smoothed it out, cut joints the next day and that's it. It's still empty and I can do whatever is appropriate at this time. Lot's of work ( fun work ) ahead.

    Concrete Curing?

    The floor of my new barn is 8 days old. It's 4" with fiber and rebar. We back the base with AB3 gravel. The concrete guys came and left without me ever seeing them ( they did a great job from what I can tell ). Anyway, I hear 7, 14 or 28 days before bringing in a truck / tractor. Can anyone...

    Hydraulic Coupler Challenges

    OK. I'm tracking now. You click these in when the grapple is not in use, then, relieve the pressure from the grapple lines prior to hooking up again. Nice.

    Hydraulic Coupler Challenges

    McFarmall, Is this just a shut off cock? Shut down the line, hook it up, then, open the line back up and away you go? If so, how does it work for you?

    Hydraulic Coupler Challenges

    There must be some type of in-line relief valve. Even if it spits out fluid. I'd be happy to get a bucket or a rag and deal with the mess. It seems like I only have trouble when I'm on a timeline...... Which is usually when I'm hooking up the grapple.

    Hydraulic Coupler Challenges

    OK. I figured that out after doing some additional reading. Originally, it didn't dawn on me that the grapple side would have the pressure. I just assumed it would be on the tractor / pump side of things. Live and learn. I also read that you can put a rag on it and depress the ball for...

    Hydraulic Coupler Challenges

    I installed a Summit 3rd Function and have a MTL Grapple ( awesome btw ). When I change it out with the bucket, I generally have challenges but after some struggle I can generally get them connected. Today, I dropped the bucket and hooked up the grapple. After shutting the tractor, I worked...

    Widow Maker - Best Plan of Attack?

    Hello All, I was out of town for the weekend. I plan on knocking this project out in the near future. FYI. The tree is in a road ditch so I guess the County may have some responsibility. By the time I'd get them to do anything I may as well do it myself. The plan is to drop the fence...

    Thanks for all of the feedback. I think I have a plan. I'll let you know how it goes. If I never post again, you can assume it went badly.

    Widow Maker - Best Plan of Attack?

    Any suggestion on how I can take this guy out without hurting myself, my equipment and as a bonus, save the fence? I was thinking of cutting it above the fence line and letting the base swing in. I was also thinking of letting it be, knowing it will find the ground by itself sooner or later.

    Pasture Reclamation Project

    Thanks. I do have a 6' Blade ( not the leveler above ) I could mess with. To date, I haven't had much experience with it and I'm not sure what it could do better than my bucket. It is readily available.
