    Snow plow on FEL

    It will be primarily on pavement, but some well packed and level gravel as well. I'm not too concerned about leaving a small skiff of snow on the gravel. Sounds like I'm going to want chains as well.

    Snow plow on FEL

    It's used, and a smokin' deal.

    Snow plow on FEL

    I'm thinking about buying a "Snow-bear" plow, designed to go onto the front of a pick up. I want to put it onto the FEL of my B7800. Seems to attach with a 2" receiver, which I have on my bucket. Has anyone done this, or have any tips or advise?

    Outrigger damage

    I've always avoided setting the FEL down, thinking it might translate too much torque onto the loader rams. No?

    Outrigger damage

    OK, that makes sense. Mine is a frame mount, not on the 3P.

    Outrigger damage

    What ? How are the stabilizers and the transmission even remotely connected?

    Outrigger damage

    I've got a B7800 tractor with the BH75 backhoe on it. Many times when I'm digging I'll snag onto a rock or a root and simply drag the tractor towards the hole. (yes, I try to go slow and careful, but it happens!) I'm concerned that this puts too much stress on the outriggers. What are your...

    Bro-Tek thumb and ripper

    I have the BT Thumb on my BH75. Happy for the most part, but it is limited because it is fixed, not hydraulic. (It is what it is) My first one wore out the main pivot point and started to get sloppy, so I contacted Bro-tech about it and he immediately sent me a replacement at no charge. Best...

    Anyone sell their tractor services?

    I do the odd little job for my neighbours (yes, that's the way we spell it in Canada!) a trench here, snow clearing, moving logs there, but never for cash. We barter haircuts, wild game, firewood, you name it. All part of being a part of a neighbourhood. If I had more time, I would definitely...

    Switching between 3PT and BH77

    I always just undo the turnbuckle completely and let the end attached to the tractor (#20) dangle down while the backhoe is on. Pretty easy to line up when putting an attachment back on.

    calling all BH77 Backhoe owners...

    I've got the BH77 on a B7800, (30hp) which I think is a pretty good match. Like the others, I can't imagine having a tractor without a BH. I'm not doing any agriculture, it's all pretty much digging, trenching, hauling. Use the backhoe way more than anything else. I have the Bro-tek mechanical...

    B 2650 tool box ideas

    I find it quite amazing that after all this time, and all the aftermarket fabricating, that Kubota themselves haven't come up with a decent tool-box or place to mount it. If I was out spending tens of thousands on a machine, they could very easily up-sell me on a decent tool-box. (But then, we...

    Ken's Bolt On Receiver

    It may not be the way you want to go, but I took the class III bolt-on hitch with a 2" receiver from whatever vehicle and simply welded it onto the top of my FEL. Tacked on a couple of chain-hooks and I'm good to go! Works great! (Try to find one that spans the full width of your FEL to...

    Anyone attach a landscape rake to FEL?

    Thinking I'd like to attach my Landscape rake to the front loader somehow. It should be very effective in yanking out the plethora of blackberries we have around here. I do have a 2" hitch receiver on the top of the bucket. Has anyone done this before? How well did it work?

    Backhoe Ripper

    Nice! Looks kind of what I did, but you took it a big step further. Took one of the scarifier teeth off of my box-blade and just bolted it to the side of my BH bucket. Works great in a pinch, but I like that beast you made much more! Great work!

    Grease Cleanup

    After a grease job, I go around to all the zerks and places where the grease is oozing out, scoop as much of the excess as I can with a Popsicle stick. A slit cut into a piece of stiff cardboard makes wiping the stick off real easy! Finish off with a quick wipe with a rag and then it all goes...

    Where does this go?

    And the winner is mdhughes! It is a bushing that goes on the lower 3pt pins/axle. Thanks guys. Now I know to leave the clevis pins in!

    Where does this go?

    You might be onto something there. I haven't used the 3pt arms for some time, but the bushing could have just been riding around with me since then. I'll check it out when there's daylight.

    Where does this go?

    *No one has done anything other than an oil change I did last week. * Nope! I have a removable box that wasn't even with me. * Yup! Everything is as it should be. *Ditto *Yup! Going crazy!

    Where does this go?

    Not sure what you mean about having the 3 point arms "on the pins"?:confused:
