How many hours does it take others to lose all the coolant out of their over flow? I am at 230 and level went down to rubber tube, maybe even farther. I have added water but have not warmed it up to cycle the fluid, so, not sure if its beed sucking air or not. Comes up a little when warm...

Those are kind of cool!

I was actually going to take grid paper and map it out ft by ft with waypoints every so many feet (10-15) with elevation heights, all the way into the front woods. with the angle of the road in front of the property, I may only be able to angle 20-30 feet from the side before I start cutting...

All I know is that the dirt on the side of the house slopes down for around 5 feet and then goes back up. All that water that was up (150ft out) drains toward the house 5 feet away and then goes from the front corner of the house outward to the driveway and runs across the "t" shaped driveway...

Suffice it to say it may be hard to belive, but, I have no idea where on my property there is level spot. Maintenance kept up by a hillbilly before me has led to absolutely nothing being level, whatsoever. I have the 3 point hitch coming in this week so I am gonna mount up the box blade this...

Whew........, I can calm down then. I was starting to get a little fiesty there!!

I think I might have mixed up terminology and jumped the gun. When you say " do not have 3 pt position control ", I assumed the emplement is either all the way up or all the way down and no in between. If so, I am freaking, if it is adjustable, just no standard notching/steps (or however that...

I am sure they are nice, like cruise control, ac and a nice stereo, but, all that money to set one up? Nutty!! If anything, I need to figure how to get 3 pt position control. Thats just absolutely stupid not to have it, even on a BX!

" BX machines do not have 3 pt position control " ....Wait, WHAT!? Awwwwwww, hhhhhh nooo!! I knew I gave up 3 speed over the 2601, but that too? Mthr..........................................$#$%#$!! Not like it mattered, they didnt have any 2601 for the past year anyways, I HAD to settle...

Hi all, well, I am one lucky SOB to now be the proud owner of a Woods GB60" box blade for $200. Looks like the other guy before me got cold feet trying to lift a 500lb piece of steel and I was next up. A little sad because I didnt even do any work. There was a road cut through a 4 ft high...

Hey Dan, looks like you posted just before I did. So, I guess I am still on the right track. Okay, will dabble around to see whats out there. If anyone else tapped into their backhoe ports, please let me know. I need to make a list of parts. Mounting should not be too much of a problem...

That sounds about right and what I was thinking, which made me question why they have not made a simple valve with a handle you can reach around to the back and adjust, that attaches to the backhoe hydraulics. I think I am barking up the wrong tree with "3rd function valve" and need to look...

So, as some of you know, I have the Kubota 23s with backhoe. I am gonna take that off and throw on a box blade. I have been looking at the hydraulic top links, and, since I am picking up a box blade for dirt cheap (pun intended). I have plenty of money left over (assuming the box blade was...

I thought about doing that, but then there is still heresay as to "what is he really doing with the controls?" since you cant see the actual hydraulic valve positions. Still might if I get time.

All I know is I was trying to pick up a piece of wood with the bucket n claw, at around 2400 rpms and trying to feather my butt off to get the bucket to go 6" smoothly on the stump and stop smoothly was a nightmare, and, I was applying my slower than molassis novice moves. you know, trying to...

" Actually, when you were feathering the valves to get smooth operation you were wasting time too. " True, but, there is a diff between my novice move of feather from my 0-10 scale, then (at least thinking) I know the controls and trying to feather from 0-3 and then blasting it out from 3.1-10...

Sell some tickets for that ski slope and drag em up the hill with the tractor to recoup some money, lol. Talking to a person that has a woods box blade HD for $200. Bad news is I am second in line to a guy thats not sure if he can pick it up. She is HD clevis and 60". I know its a little too...

I kind of figured as such about engine speed and hydraulic fluid delivery. I thought 2500 ish was the spot you should be working in to be at the point of proper speed and comfort. Thats why I am wondering if something is wrong. I would think anything slower and its a waste of a backhoe/time...

When I first had the tractor with 1 hour on her, I did have the RPMs around 2100 to go easy on her. First thing I did was play with the backhoe, slowly. I listened closely to the tractor rpm's and pump whine as I used the backhoe to make sure she wasnt struggling, which she wasnt, so 18 hours...

Ahh, cool, thanks for the response.
