    Thermosyphon System Conclusions..

    A couple of comments. Don't know what the antifreeze does to the boiling point but looking at a standard steam table, water at 15 psig boils at 250 F. The pressure has nothing to do with localized hot spots. There are locations throughout the block where you may have higher temperatures than...

    hooking up new backhoe to tractor

    The torque values are there for a reason. It's possible a 2' breaker bar won't quite cut it. Sure you may be able to skirt by with just checking the torque but check your local auto parts stores. See if they can rent you a torque multiplier. It's basically a planetary gear system. It will...

    Loader hydraulic hose pressure relief

    I would try turning on the key, then manipulating the joystick in all directions before starting the engine. When the engine is running the hydraulic system is functional.

    Snow pusher rear counterweight

    You have a pretty good size machine that ought to be able to handle that weight but look at this. Additional weight on the 3 point hitch will make your front end lighter - a good thing to ease the wear and tear on your front axle. Filled tires/wheel weights will make your tractor heavier which...

    Towing HST

    I stand corrected. I have a HST garden tractor and my 2650 only has a ST pedal and brakes.

    Towing HST

    HST and Clutch on the same tractor don't make sense. I always thought it was one or another. Kind of like male or female.

    I need help deciding on which tractor is best for my needs

    Keep in mind I only have a B2650 with about 1000 lbs of lift capacity at the front pins. I bought the 50" lightweight grapple from Everything Attachments. It weighs about 270 lbs. Should weigh close to my bucket. If I had a much bigger tractor I would have gotten a larger one. It's been a...

    Heater Question

    6061 aluminum is 13.1 instead of 6. Not sure what cast aluminum would be but it should be close.

    I need help deciding on which tractor is best for my needs

    For the size tractors you are talking about you can easily trim your stumps down to just a few inches above the ground your tractor will serve you well. For the extra money you save on a backhoe, you could probably buy most of the implements you want. Weight is your friend, 4WD is great...

    Heater Question

    I doubt a pad heater will pose problems for your block. It would be better for a pad heater to be on the bottom rather than the side because heat rises. You would lose most of the convective heat transfer mounting on the side of the pan. A block heater would more uniformly heat your engine...

    Phoenix T-4 Series, 40" Offset Tiller

    I bought a grapple from Everything attachments. Nice piece of equipment. Not too heavy for my machine etc. Had an issue with the hoses being a tad short and they made it right, no problems.

    The l3200 or b2650 debate is over

    My dealer wants to rake me over the coals for a ballast box so I'm going to make my own. Another tractor dealer nearby (blue) suggested a 55 gallon drum and a drawbar. Cut holes in the drum, install and weld the drawbar through it, then weld some tabs on top for the upper link. Then fill with...

    3 Point cement mixer Hook up ?????

    I added the Kubota kit on my B2650 after purchasing, my dealer tends to run a little high but I think it was close to $1K. sure I could have bought it online myself and installed it but this is a new toy so I preferred to have the dealer do it all. The factory kit is clean as mentioned. Hoses...

    Lightweight grapple for LA534

    The thing is pretty good. I do have to say that Everything Attachments sent me some hoses that were just a tad short. When I would curl the bucket down, the hoses would get tight. They were good sports about it though. Told me to take measurements, and call them back, they sent me new hoses...

    Just ordered a B2650 ROPS

    I like your thought of a 5' box blade, I would have liked to have a wider one that covered the track of my tractor. A little advice, I would shop around a little and buy the heaviest one you can find. When doing loader work you'll appreciate all the weight you can have back there. My current...

    General question about brands

    As stated before, many of the manufacturers have different price points. I looked at Woods, bush hog, and briefly land pride for cutters. For your bush hog, pick a decent brand, check out it's warranty, the thickness of the deck, etc. Then since your machine is bigger than mine you'll...

    General question about brands

    Tractor supply, or Northern Tools? Not bad for dumb implements like maybe a box blade, or a boom pole. If you're talking about a grapple, tiller, bush hog, I'd personally spring for some better built brands. I have a much smaller tractor but for my 48" bush hog, I can look at my gearbox and...
