ala "dusk till dawn"

Thanks! Did a lot of preplanning, positioning them so that when I picked them up, the correct side would be down when placed. Some were wrestled out of the bucket as oriented into postion, others were rolled out and into position. Only had one get away from me, and it did no damage, I just had...

I did a lot of that when I raised my driveway for a culvert. Here is the full thread: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/raising-my-driveway.21375/

They are pretty solid, and the bigger ones cannot be moved without mechanical help, the smaller ones I can knock down by hand, but I doubt a kid could. Besides. they will soon be fenced in.

Then I used the B7100 to move the smaller ones, and got the idea of stacking them on the bigger ones.

Back in the 70s, the local phone company trenched in landlines across the front of my property, pruning out some pretty big rocks. (1st pic) They were right where our new fence was going to go, so I had the fence contractor use his (big) backhoe to move the largest five across our drainage water...

Scooped up & loaded 6 FEL buckets of waste dirt/rock and hauled it to our local rock/dirt disposal pit. It was a mix of dirt, river rock, roots, landscaping fabric, and rotted wood, hence it wasn't much good for fill on my property, so I got rid of it.

I hear you. When I built mine, it took a lot of time & effort, and mine was nowhere near as bad. Hopefully someone will come along with the time, equipment, & motivation to tackle this one. Maybe if I ever catch up with all my tasks I will do it myself.

Me too....

I measured the lift & curl cylinders. Lift cylinders: Bore 2.000" Closed length 23" (center of eye to center of eye) Extended length 40" Eye diameters (pin holes) 5/8" Width of eye tubes 1 3/4" Ram diameter 1 1/8" Body diameter 2 3/8" Curl cylinders: All dimensions the same...

By the way, I love your tires!

I have an extra B670 backhoe from a B7100 that I would sell cheap. $500 picked up at my place in northern Arizona. However, it is rough, (understatement) & in need of a complete rebuild. Hydraulics seem to be OK, but pins & holes, swing pivot, outrigger mounts are all in need of serious work...

I think you will be pretty safe using your tilt meter that way. Back in olden times when tilt meters first became popular for rock crawlers, we saw people tilt their rigs under controlled conditions (with flex ramps in a parking lot) and then use that tilt number as a hard & fast rule as the...

I think NIW means to manually move the bucket & measure the pin hole to pin hole dimensions in both positions, fully rolled in each direction.

Kubota puts o-rings on the ram outside the cylinder before painting to prevent paint from wicking into the seal. (note the paint on yours) I have heard that they are supposed to be removed before delivery, and have heard that they are never removed before delivery. o_O Either way, no big deal.

Thanks for posting, learned something new today!

Around here they are $5000+ for a standard 20 footer, not delivered.:mad:
