    Can't shorten PTO shaft because of metal collar?

    Did you call EA? Get their input. I would see if those collar pieces could be pressed off with my little 12t press. If not, destroy them and discard them. I see no purpose served other than holding the plastic guards in place. That can be accomplished with a myriad of other things.

    SGC1060 OR WICKED 55

    I have the sgc1072 and I choose it because it was only 450lbs but 72" wide. I use mine for brush cleaning pulling and clearing.

    Adding 2nd and 3rd remote

    Thanks. I just ordered the stuff to put a floating second valve oem kubota stuff in place. The cost was virtually the same ($500ish vs $550ish) and it'll be neater and more intuitive and adds the float function.

    Kubota MX5200 Hydraulics Questions

    Did this get everything you needed for a 2nd remote? Levers, valves, hardware, hoses, etc? My local dealer said this will get it. He wanted $190 more than Messicks online. I don't get it. Why doesn't my local dealer want to be competitive?

    Adding 2nd and 3rd remote

    So please comment on my setup. I have a single remote, self centering in the rear. My plan was to feed a diverter manifold and run top n tilt with a 12v switch. I have read where some mx series have a problem with a front diverter set up because they have a regen circuit. Is this a problem for...

    Adding 2nd and 3rd remote

    Good to know. I have wanted a rake. I didn't think a side cylinder would do me any good with one!

    Adding 2nd and 3rd remote

    I got a rear remote installed because I wanted top n tilt also. I am using a diverter valve to get 2 from 1 on the rear. This is perfect for me because it's much cheaper than the Kubota set up and I will never need two simultaneous hydraulic functions for the rear at the same time.

    Adding 2nd and 3rd remote

    why float when the rear 3pt already floats? What do you gain?

    Anyone ever mount a swivel or reversable light?

    I simply mounted two lights facing forward and one light looking down at the three point. They are all controlled by one switch. The U bolts and u bolt brackets are available at McMaster Carr for very little. I would post a picture if I could find out where my "gallery" is located on the forum...

    Brush hog land pride

    they always seem to screw this up. The bolts holding the black cast piece and all of that top part together need to be loose enough to pivot. These should be held together with a nylon locknut instead of a washer and a nut. This is just poor assembly by the dealer or the manufacturer. Good on...

    Decided to go Piranha tooth bar

    On a more positive note, it didn't take me 10 days to get mine, I think, and it is absolutely EXCELLENT at popping roots from shrubs and trees up. It is better than my grapple at that, which is surprising. Just run the corner of the blade up to the roots, put it down 2 or 3 inches under the...

    Decided to go Piranha tooth bar

    I am a slight bit disappointed with this company and their practices. I read a bunch of the reviews before I bought mine. Notice their reviews are 200+ and all but 2 of them are 5 star reviews. This is because they manipulate reviews. They remove reviews that are not 5 stars. I submitted my...

    Turf to R4 tires size equivalent

    I think the easiest way to accomplish this would be to ask your dealer for a quote for a complete replacement set of wheels and tires. I have been considering this for a few months myself.
