And here I thought you knew motorcycles... <snicker> :p "That was a joke son, a joke I tell ya" F. Leghorn Me, I ride a loaded Suzi adventure touring. A good friend pilots a loaded Wing.

A box gannon/scraper works well, as does a heavy grader blade, or anything else you have that is fairly heavy to hang off back there, or even something you can stack weight on (like a gannon). I don't see much point in a specific ballast box, unless you just need weight and don't have anything...

Sorry, I'm new to this. Earlier when I said hydraulic, I meant the TDH as recommended in the video.

In some cases, I completely agree. But in these days of MBA "branding" and such, it's not uncommon for the generic (whatever) to be from the same batch as a high priced "branded" product with no difference but the label. The problem is, identifying them to start with, and it may change when...

I've been looking into tire issues for my 2150D too. There was a recent thread of mine that linked an older one where this was covered in pretty good depth. The bottom line is that all you care about is rolling circumference. And you want it within 2% of the actual drive ratio front to back...

Wow. I'm not one of the hyper sensitive guys, but I never would have thought 80W90 in the trans given that it feeds the hydraulic pump for the 3 point lift. I know there is not that much difference, but just as he says in the video, there are differences, so I just went along with the "always...

Even with no external hydraulics (like FEL, backhoe, rear controls), there is still the 3 point, which uses the trans as a holding tank for the fluid. So shouldn't it always be hydraulic fluid in the trans? And my impression (from reading, not experience) is UDT for HST, and any good brand...

Yeah, that would be nice. But the holes in question are the sides, and the ROPS has to slide over those, so studs won't work. As you guys may have noticed, I'm not particularly picture oriented, but I finally got out there to take some pics. The first shows the ROPS as it lay from where I...

Yes, I've got plenty of air. And I've got a small 90* drill, which has no "balls", and spins far too fast for anything bigger than 1/8" in steel. Further examination of the end bolt holes (behind the tire) indicates they may be salvageable, if I can get the 2 twisted off bolts out without...

That doesn't look like pulse. It looks more like GMAW spray transfer mode done on a powered welding positioner. Beautiful weld.

9/16 is definitely the way I'm leaning. Now to figure out how to get the twisted off bolt out from behind the axle flange WITHOUT removing the extension housings, and without calling in bubba with the metal glue. :D But I may try to weld an extension to the stub to back it out. Or I may buy...

Unfortunately (fortunately?), other than the 2 twisted off bolts, and some polished ROPS brackets where I ground down the weld that didn't come off with the air chisel, all visible evidence of the mess is gone, and I didn't think to take pictures. About all I thought of when looking at it was...

On the up side, I did get the welded on ROPS off and all the bolts (that were there...) out except for 2 twisted off flush. Due to the many stripped holes, I'll be drilling and tapping oversize anyway, so I'll just drill them out rather than fight to get them out. Fortunately the housing...

My problem is worse than I realized (again). I'm not well versed on tractors, or their tires. I knew these looked a lot like AT truck tires, but didn't think much of it. Tonight I actually pulled the numbers, planning to throw the dice and see if there were any lawn mower takers, you never...

A comment on the roll/tumble style. Many years ago I had a bigger Gannon rigid box style behind an ancient MF farm tractor. It was sturdy and did the job, but with any uneven and inconsistent ground, I was constantly adjusting the darn thing trying to get it to do what I wanted. Seemed like...

So, no comments? I know R1s would give me the best traction, and honestly I would lean that way, but that also requires a wheel change since I currently have the super wide Turf/R4 wheels. And being that it has (or will have again anyway) a Backhoe, the industrial rated tires might also be...

No offence, but do you have family from the SE US? Based on that comment, I think we may be related. :o Anyway, always good to eliminate a leak.

No idea what your talking about, today is only getting up to 106 or so, almost 14 degrees less than last week. It's down right chilly, gonna have to find my jacket if this keeps up... :p PO before the PO of this "horse property" apparently had the back lot and back yard in grass, probably for...

Ha! I was reading that and thinking, "He must live somewhere out here", and sure enough, you do! :D

Out here in Phoenix, a fair number of yards actually do have crushed granite painted green. I know you were kidding, but they actually do that, and it looks ridiculous.
