    And yet another DIY canopy idea...

    Yeah, these people around here think everything is made of gold. The biggest problem is, there's somebody out there that will pay those prices. I can't figure out which side is dumber.

    And yet another DIY canopy idea...

    I just want to know where you got a $25 IBC. These fools around here think they're worth $125 despite looking like its been run over by a dump truck.🤣

    Lets see your weld on bucket hooks

    I worked for a gravedigging company. We just put padeyes in the center of the the buckets on our B26s, then we'd attach old chain hoist chains with the hooks to hang down just below the front edge of the buckets. Doing it that way you don't have to worry about load distribution on the ends of...

    Weight on the 3 point.

    I have to side with everybody else on the backhoe. I've run B26s with detachable backhoes that hook to the frame and I can tell you that over the course of digging, you'll be putting a lot of extra stress on the top link with a 3-point backhoe. Even with the outriggers extended on a B26, you get...

    M5660 PTO Speed Isn't Reading On Dash Display

    I'm looking for the switch that activates the RPM display. The PTO itself engages and functions normally, its just the speed readout on the dash that doesn't work. It started a couple years back, it would take a few seconds after engaging the PTO for the counter to show PTO speed on the...

    Draw bar uses if you have a 3-point or quick hitch mounted receiver?

    I put a 2-5/15" ball on mine and drag my trailer around when doing fencing work around the house. I also haul my tractor all over 10 counties and the ball makes chaining down very convenient. If the ball isn't on the draw bar I use a 7/8 shackle in the draw bar to chain it. So far the only...

    MS5660 Hydraulic Pump

    I might get with you on one. My rig mechanic has some nice digital gauges down to fractional bar he hooks to my cranes occasionally but I don't have a $20k/month maintenance tool budget. LOL

    MS5660 Hydraulic Pump

    No, what I'm saying is I can't afford to drop my tractor off to sit in a yard at one of a half dozen shops that are backed up on work when I have my own farm that needs constant maintenance as well as clients who I also do property maintenance for. Without getting into my full resume, it's safe...

    MS5660 Hydraulic Pump

    Yes, LS gets supply from one of the rear hydraulic ports. Thanks, those pressures help, now I know what size gauge I need.

    MS5660 Hydraulic Pump

    Blades were changed about 2 weeks (8-12 working hours) prior to the issue showing up. They are much heavier blades than the originals. Lane Shark has upgraded blades and carriers twice since I originally bought it. You hit the nail on the head with the hydraulic fluid, the Lane Shark...

    MS5660 Hydraulic Pump

    Sorry, don't know how that partial post appeared. I had started it and scrapped it.... I thought. Just disregard that.

    MS5660 Hydraulic Pump

    Well as complicated as it sounds the circuit itself is pretty simple. I have 2 QD blocks mounted by the right hand loader frame. One is the elect solenoid for the grapple, the other is for the mower, both lead to the attachment QDs on the front of the loader. I simply have to move the hoses...

    MS5660 Hydraulic Pump

    I have a 2017 MS5660 tractor that I bought new and now has around 950 hours. One piece of equipment I bought at the same time is a Lane Shark mower that mounts on the loader and is hydraulic driven. If you've never heard of them I highly recommend looking into them. And no, I have no financial...
