If your road , is as it appears, I would choose the 3rd drawing (but point the pink arrow the other way).No ditching required. See out sloping in attachment https://dirtandgravel.psu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/TB_Crown_and_Cross_Slope.pdf...

well, if I read it right, the B3200 is 23 hp so a 6 foot box would be a bit much for it to chew on. And yes, the book shows 500lbs implement weight but also says the 3 point can lift 1300lbs. https://kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Tractor%20Owners%20Manuals/&file=B3200%20WSM.pdf

No, TCH (transmission, converter, hydraulic) would be better suited to a universal hydraulic transmission fluid (Hytran). TCH/ universal is a 10 weight oil, ISO 46 would be a little “thicker” at 20w.

I would remove a couple more trees and straighten it out. Looks tough to get a large truck in there (when dry). 2% slope to the downhill side might do wonders also.

depending on where you live; woods, land pride and Gannon are about the top 3. Lots of other manufacturers Homestead, Ironcraft, Catawba, etc…. Weight is your friend with this kind of stuff

(y) Would you please add a picture of mounting location? I’m having a hard time visualizing it.

All vehicles rust. That’s an area that most people wouldn’t think twice about looking at either.

Diesels need higher amperage draw to spin starter motor faster. Simply getting voltage at starter is not a sufficient test

Mine has an on-demand stable hand, poop remover, driver, equipment operator, builder and boy toy. No need to be bothered with the Ken dolls at work. Those guys wouldn’t get their manicures dirty. 😋

doesn’t really matter, looks like another “one off” poster starter current draw is around 275-300 amps for that size motor. Your old battery probably had a low amp capacity (bad cell(s)). With low current available, the starter won’t spin fast enough so you get low compression that won’t make...

Any contract is really just an agreement between two parties. No one is ”making you” sign anything. You have the option to walk away.

Stroke the deal so they include filters and fluids for the 50 hour when you pick it up.

Yep and sometimes the inspector isn’t familiar with the code they are quoting. Lots of places subcontract inspection work and don’t hire the sharpest sometimes. Ever wondered why wiring is color coded? Why pex piping is in 2 colors?

Once it’s on the www. it’s pretty much free for the taking. Woulda been hilarious if it was The wrong one.

Even then, they get pretty foamy.
