With the snow finally finished (fingers crossed), I got to put on my winter fab project: the one-armed pallet fork grapple. I saw one for sale by a Canadian vendor, but it was pricey and I like makin' stuff. Actuating it here with the tractor at idle, obv. it moves a lot faster when the revs...

Last month I used the water taxi service into Abel Tasman National Park in New Zealand. The operation was pretty cool: First they load you all into the boat while it's on the trailer, in the parking lot. They drive it down to the shore, then if it's low tide out across the sand as much as...

My 'toxic trait', as the kids like to say, is that I almost never buy a device without deciding some aspect of it could be better designed or engineered. Today, it's my LandPride SP1064 snow blower. With a wet snow like we had this week, it never clogged in the second stage or the chute but...

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.

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...

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...

[facepalm] SSQA: I just discovered last week that by raising the loader all the way up, I can stand up in the cockpit and reach the SSQA levers. no need to climb down to the ground for that. YMMV based on your reach.

and I like it. I first made one that hangs on my pallet forks frame, but since the bucket is on my tractor all winter it was a nuisance to have to swap on the forks just to move my trailer in and out of its storage spot. This little guy slides on the lip of the bucket, I run in the two bolts...

I had a problem in that from the driver's seat I can't see the pallet fork tips and my aim isn't very good, so moving around pallets (on uneven ground, which is all I have) was really frustrating. I installed this little momentary switch to defeat the "operator's butt is in the seat" circuit...

Does anybody know the correct name/ID of this electrical connector on the seat "operator present" switch? I'd like to be able to buy a matching set for a small modification, rather than splicing into the existing wires.

Checking to see if this is a common problem... I have a 2022 LX3310. The tilt steering wheel frequently pops out of the set position and flips up to the top position. I have verified that it happens without me bumping the release pedal at all. Happens about every 10-15 minutes while operating...

I was looking at pulling a car out of the ditch on my road last week, and realized there's no good place on my LX to hook a chain. I could use the draw bar in the rear, but with the 3pt snow blower attached that's not very accessible. So I thought a D-ring on the nose was in order. I bought...

I have a Land Pride SB1064. My driveway is crushed asphalt; it's very well compacted, but still not as as solid as real asphalt. When clearing the narrow part (which is curved and on a hill), the blower skids drop off the edge of the crown causing the bottom lip of the blower body to scrape the...

The one thing I really hate about my LX is that it had no way to carry any loose items. A pair of gloves, my chainsaw helmet, pruners - there is absolutely nowhere to carry stuff like that. I'd seen some folks on the forum bolt an ATV cargo basket onto the ROPS, but I was concerned that...

details in the thread over in the fab forum.

I couldn't reach the crank handle from the seat of my LX, and the lack of vertical adjustment, convinced me I needed to get powered actuation on the chute. Truthfully, it didn't take much convincing :). I didn't like the sloppiness of the worm-drive, so I opted to directly drive that ring gear...

I'm going to improve my Landpride snowblower and I would prefer to find a spur gear to match the pitch of the stock ring, rather than motorizing the big worm drive. I can't seem to find a source for spur gears with such a large pitch. Does anybody know where I should look? Thanks.

I just picked up a used Landrpide SB1064 snowblower and the blasted thing won't mate to my Harbor Freight quick hitch. The SB mounts are just a hair too wide (inside to inside). The QH works fine with my chipper and receiver hitch adapter, but both of those use cantilevered pins whereas the SB...

I recently bought a used implement that came with a PTO shaft. One of the u-joints on the PTO shaft is shot. Anybody know the best way to find a u-joint of the right size? Is this a universal thing where I can buy a u-joint based on the key dimensions, or do I have to go through the shaft...

hi folks, My dealer just installed the (previously backordered) Kubota 3rd-function kit on my LX3310. Their shop's work quality has been a little suspect previously, so... Is this bracket and hose routing correct? The bent-rod hose keeper seems to stick awfully far out for its function. Thanks.
