    Hydraulic SSQA Plow Troubles

    I understand that, I looked and that is how it is hooked up. I do this every day dealing with parts guys and I know its a pain in the ass. Its not my first rodeo here, but I hear you-

    Hydraulic SSQA Plow Troubles

    Yes, I am fairly certain that is how I have it hooked up- I have not gone into the hydraulics on the tractor that much, just because my grapple works as it should. The part number from Surplus Center is 9-7852. Thanks a lot for your help. Must have taken some time to draw that up!

    Hydraulic SSQA Plow Troubles

    UPDATE: Ok - well I tried a known good set of hydraulic cylinders and no change. This is the selector valve I am using- 12 VDC 13.2 GPM SAE 8 DOUBLE SELECTOR VALVE I really dont understand it- It runs my grapple just fine. The only difference I can see is that the grapple has one double...

    Hydraulic SSQA Plow Troubles

    Hi there everyone. I have a question that I am sure will be easy for some of you. Here it is, I have a 2013 kubota L3200. I installed a hyd thumb on the bucket with a diverter valve from surplus center. It works great. Probably the best money I have spent on this machine. Anyway, I figured I...

    Chainsaw Holder?

    I do run chains on all 4, I live on the coast in maine where the snow is wet and heavy. We get a lot of ice too, and I live on a small mountain. I use the machine for a lot of snow removal, so chains and weight are a must. I run about a 1000lbs on the back. The setup works well. I just make a...

    Chainsaw Holder?

    Here is one I built for my L3200. Angle and expanded metal. Holds my 2172 with a 2' bar perfectly.

    Almost ready to pull trigger?!?

    Congrats! I have the L3200 HST, love it. I only have a couple acres at home, but maintain a 1/4 mile long road and use it at camp. What a great machine. You will love it.

    trucking costs?

    When I buy cars at auction this is who I use- http://www.craftstransport.com/ They are located in Lisbon Falls Maine, and are up and down from Maine to Florida all the time. Their rates are decent. Give them a call.

    Kubota B7200-HST-D - HST Suction Strainer Filter

    Yes that is the only one on the machine. I dont know that I would replace the screen, just give it a good clean and spin on a new hydro filter and fill it back up-

    Backhoe for L3200

    Its too big for a L3200. I looked into options for mine too, and a BH77 or Woods BH80X is about as big as you want to go. I want one too but 8500 bucks is hard to justify.

    For better or for worse, pulled the trigger on a B3300 today.

    I am really curious how that land plane works out for you- Nice tractor, I had a B3300Su as well. Good luck with it!

    L3200 or L3800?

    Honestly I am glad I saved the 1800-2000 with the L3200 too. I used that money for the top and tilt from Brian, (mtnviewranch) and what was left towards a grapple. power is not an issue for me at all. I run about 900-1000 lbs on the back with chains and loaded tires. Mine does not run out of...

    La 480 fel

    Sounds like an interesting problem... I will ask a good hyd guy I know Skipp44. Sounds like a strange one... When you try to curl the bucket does the pump labor, or is it like nothing has changed when you move the lever? Does the bucket even try to curl?

    SSQA Snow Plow and Scabbard

    Ah, mis-read. Says Alexander Maine.... thought it was Alfred. Seems like Dorrs might be a little closer in Bangor.

    SSQA Snow Plow and Scabbard

    Hi Skip44- Well I bought the machine at Union Farm Equipment, but I used to work on a 3300 acre organic farm as a mechanic. So I have worked on a tractor or two so I do all service myself- Were do you go? Seems like Wescotts is down your way. I bought a super clean low hour B6200 that has a...

    SSQA Snow Plow and Scabbard

    Sorry aeblac, did not see your message for some reason. The rears are AMPC's I got from my dealer. They were fairly expensive. I think they were around 500 bucks. The fronts I got from my tire guy, I dont remember what the name is. (I am a tire dealer) Those at cost were not bad. I told my guy...

    Advice on Tractor Size

    That is good advise, rent a B and try it. Good thinking. I would think at least a L3800 and better yet a L4600. Like North Idaho said, going from a big machine like that to a b series... wow.. That would be a tough transition because everything you do will take a lot more time then what you are...
