Thanks, @Dustball

it's really hard to get a good angle:

Getting closer. The existing male end is 3/4" diameter. It seems that these are ISO 5675.

I'm building an implement that will use my Kubota 3rd-function. These are the 3rd-function ends: I cannot decipher the markings on them to correlate with connectors to buy. Is this the correct set to match them? https://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/product-p/qd-agc-set-forb.htm Thanks in advance.

Tip: you can buy cheap 4ga jumper cables online for a fraction of the price of regular 4ga stranded wire. I'm sure the wire isn't of the highest quality, but IMO the duty cycle limits of the electric winch motor means it won't be running under heavy load long enough to cook the wires.

I built something similar. The only downside I've found is that it limits your view of the 3ph... which is why I made it easily removable just like you did.

using the lathe chuck to hold round parts on the mill is brilliant. Filing that one away...

I don't use brake cleaner on painted surfaces. After wiping, I'm partial to citrus degreasers. I like the stuff sold for cleaning bicycle or motorcycle chains, if you can find a bulk-size quantity so it's not overpriced.

This is really what I want. I think I'll make a fab project this spring, since their price seems awfully high for that, and their US distribution is quite limited. Thanks.

what sort of pallet fork grapple do you have? I've been looking for one to help with my firwood processing. Unlike you, my trees are at MOST 16" diameter and many smaller.

Thank you very much. I have a piece of (mild hot-rolled) steel already, 3/16" I think. Maybe I'll try that.

This is a rear-mount; I have it set level.

I intentionally raised the shoes up so they're not touching - I want the wear strip to contact the ground along its full length so it scrapes the ground clear of snow.

If this has been covered, somebody kindly link me. I searched and couldn't find this topic. I even looked through the monster "snow removal" sticky thread. I run a 3ph-mounted Landpride snowblower. Purchased used, it didn't have any replaceable wear edge on it. I fashioned two additional...

I made one similar in shape to the Sawhaul, because I always try to build rather than buy (too Scotch, as my mother always said about herself). I mounted it to the loader mount using existing holes, but after a while I found that sorta in the way getting in and out of the cockpit so I moved the...

Thank you. This is my first machine with hydraulics, lots to learn.

now I'm wondering if the dump speed in position R1 is limited by an orifice in the valve which could be enlarged... I probably won't bother because getting into the guts of that valve is probably quite involved, but when I'm moving snow I would sure like that bucket to dump faster.

Thanks. I'm sure I RTFM when I first got it, but mis-remembered the content.

When I push the loader control stick to the right, there is clearly a detent and a second position just like there is going forward (to engage float mode), but the bucket lowers at the same speed in either first or second position. Does anyone know if it *should* act as a rapid dump? And if so...

presumably those are 12V lights... are you driving them directly with the 18V off the battery? Or did you include a voltage splitter of some sort in the switch box?
