    Backhoe hydraulic plumbing

    Getting ready to pull the trigger on a new Woods BH80X for the CK35. I'm doing the install myself, I have a set of rear remotes on my tractor, but after talking with Woods tech support they recommend running the return line directly into the transmission case to eliminated any restriction going...

    Rotary Cutter  Woods or Landpride rotary brush cutter

    Help me decide, because I have decided to pass on the TSC model. I can get a 60" Woods Brushbull for $1400, the same in Landpride for $1450. Both have slip clutches, Woods has an interesting quick change blade set up, would this be really helpful? The Landpride has 1/2" thick blades verses the...

    Anyone own a TSC rotory mower?

    I'm thinking about getting a rotory mower and I've noticed the ones at TSC are no longer King Kutter, but are County Line. Any info on these, are they made by KK? or mostly are they any good? I would like to hear from someone who has one of these County Line ones and what they think of it...

    Bleeding air from Ford 7.3 L

    Anyone know the procedure for bleeding air from a '93 (old style) Ford 7.3L diesel? I noticed a schrader valve on top of the filter assembly is that some type of air bleed?

    Opinions on a Ford 7.3 turbo diesel

    I have a chance to buy an 1995 F-350 dump truck with an automatic transmission and a 7.3L turbo diesel. Is this powertrain one of Ford's better ones, or one to avoid? Anything particular to look for on this model? Thanks

    ALKO trailer axle not taking grease

    I have a #7000 trailer with 2 # 3500 axles that I bought new last summer. I cannot get the ez lube style hubs to take any grease, I actually blew the flexible hose off my grease gun trying to lube the hubs. I have had it back to my dealer twice and they say there is nothing wrong with it, I say...

    New grapple pics

    My new Markham grapple arrived yesterday and I got to play with it a little. I had everthing ready to go when it arrived and I wanted to give Island Tractor a special thanks for the great deal on the SS adapter and DHH for a great deal on hydraulic hoses and fittings. I purchased the rear...

    Couple of hose questions

    I have a new grapple on the way and need to get a couple hydraulic hoses made up and had a few questions. The grapple comes with a couple of short 1/4" hoses on the hyd. cylinder, the tractor has 1/2" couplers on the rear remote. Is the prefered thing to keep it all 1/4" hose and make up...

    What lube in front axle?

    Some of the recent post have made me think about my front axle a little more. It's almost first service time, the manual says to use hydraulic or gear oil in the front axle. There is quite a viscosity difference between hydraulic and gear lube, just wondering what everyone is using in their tractor.

    Grapple  Aldomi grapple ?

    Does anyone have one of these grapples, and how do they like it? What I like is that they make a pin on model for my Kioti so I don't have to spend $600 on a QA mount. ** Aldomi, Inc. - 1 888 808-3252 **

    Rake  Farm Force rake ?

    I recently purchased a 6' Farm Force rake from TSC. It's supposed to be a cat 1, but the top link pin hole is much larger than the pin and is quite sloppy, it is also bigger than the hole on my tiller too. Is this common on these low priced rakes, am I needing a differnt pin set up, or is all...

    Anyone use Warren hydraulic oil

    I found a local distributor that sells Warren tractor transmission oil for $38 a five gallon pail. The container states it meets all the requirments of a long list of manufactures. Just wondering if anyone has used this stuff before, the web site has less info than the container does. The web...

    Who makes a good rototiller ?

    I'm looking to buy a rototiller for my new Kioti CK35. Is there any benefit to a chain drive over a gear drive? You would think the gear would be a stronger unit. Any makes stand out over the others? Any to avoid ?
