    Loader/hydraulics issue

    "One thousand one, one thousand two, ..." is subject to variations in speech patterns that render it inaccurate except for the most skilled and disciplined timekeepers. "OneMississippiTwoMissippi..." is useful to almost all American English-speaking folk. :eek: I suspect that your diction is so...

    Advice on front-end grapple

    Thank you, guys, your suggestions are great. I'm still left with the barrier I've run up against: how to get a load separated enough to get a rope/chain around it? I can't get behind the bunch I'm trying to pick up, the tangle is so tall, deep, and thick. So? What do clever guys suggest?

    Advice on front-end grapple

    Yes, the first place I looked (I've got a Piranha bar that I've never been able to do without; it stays on, whacking every ankle that goes by!) I don't need to grab huge amounts; just need to get hold of limbs and hold them. Smaller amounts would be better since it has to go into a chipper. So...

    methods to remove rocks from soil

    It seems like a rock bucket would be more direct, immediate, and simple. I've been looking at attachments that are mostly rock buckets as I searched for a grapple. What I've seen makes me think that a lot of small rocks will get left, and I expect those would be a nuisance in your food plot. It...

    Advice on front-end grapple

    It seems this should be in 'Customization' but that one is for what you've already done, not for what you are asking how to do, so... I have a need (urgent) for a grapple, and I'm having difficulty finding equipment to grab brush with my B6100 B219FEL for less than about 2000 bucks. I'm...

    Chevy PS Gearbox Question

    No idea; no experience with (working on) power steering. However, the little experience I have with hydraulics makes me concerned about increasing the viscosity very much. Certain kinds of pumps (like screw pumps) may handle that okay, but light pumps would have trouble. Also, I believe the...

    Clever! How hard does the bed shake? I don't see a hitch on it -- how do you move it?

    Final backyard grading done

    Nice job! (I'm guessing you got the "rice paddy" tires anticipating the lake may fill up again?) I'd like to know more about your uncle's invention. It would be great if you could describe it, and maybe take some pics and post 'em in your album or in this thread. Looking forward to your...

    Need B3200 headlight lens cover

    That's a sad thing. It may be impossible to find just the lens, since you've already tried one of the best vendors in the country. Next option is to try the tractor salvage yards. Here are some in my list: West Kentucky Tractor Parts Surplus Center Mid-South Salvage, Inc. Good luck!

    B7200 mower deck blade broken

    My first guess would be a timing issue. But the first question should be: what story does the blade tell? And what damage (or wear) do the other blades show?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Thank you! Seeing kdpearson's loadetmade me remember the summer I was 15, and wanted to "help out" the crew that was baling & storing granny's hay. I was fairly fit, had been playing football a year or so, and could only toss the bales onto the trailer, not to the third tier they needed to be...

    Any Grapple lovers?

    Given a choice, I'd pick black -- seems more appropriate for that monster! Now I'm going to have to work on my Irish accent so folks will think I'm green from Irish instead of the cardinal sin... <drool>

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Oooo that is a sweeeet-lookin' loader! Never saw one before. How many can it lift, and how do you get them bunched together? (I'd love to see a vid of the operation!)

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Your mower does a good job. Was that the first time you mowed it? Now do you need to rake it, or will the mulch be good for your trees?

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Oh my, I've gotta applaud your ambition! Trying to push it over into the trash can makes me think of The Little Engine That Could. :D

    Cannot remove grease gun from fittings

    But do you leave the gun hanging on the fitting and step over to the control to move the arms? (I'd want someone who lives with me to help -- either move the control or pull off the grease gun, but the two bitches that I live with won't raise a paw to help.)
