    Grapple Recommendations

    I am looking for a grapple for my Kioti RX7320, which is rated for 3300lbs lift at the pins to full height. I am primarily looking to move logs that tree services drop off, but would also like to do it for some mild clearing, occasional concrete chunk pickup, larger rock piles, etc. I am...

    8' snow blower for 70hp tractor?

    I'm looking for a lighter duty snow blower for my RX7320. It seems that an 84" blower would JUST cover the tracks, but most of the 96" blowers I see are double auger and set up for 90hp+ tractors. Cost is also a factor. Most of my work involves plowing with the front blade, including the heavy...

    RX7320 hydraulic flow at ports?

    Anyone have an idea of how much hydraulic flow I could expect from both the factory 3rd function valve, as well as the rear remotes? Obviously there's a "19.2gpm pump", and being stationary and a power shuttle there wouldn't be anything else using it when the post hole auger would be on, but how...

    2 New attachments: trailer hitch and carry all

    2 new Cat 2 attachments! I already have a carry all for my 1025R, but the step up to the RX7320 means it's no longer "good enough". Despite having pallet forks for both tractors, I still find it very handy to have when the loader's not on or for doing other tasks. In addition, I use the big...

    Kioti NX HST vs RX Power Shuttle - purchase decision

    I sold my NX6010 last month as it was a few years old, and I was ready for a brand new machine. I also only need it for the business now, and there just wasn't an easy way to legally "purchase" a personal machine right for your own business, so selling and the business buying a new one made a...

    Messicks Turf vs R4 Tire Tests

    I saw that recently Messicks published another R4 vs Turf comparison, this time on slush/ice conditions, and found it pretty interesting. Tested | Turf vs R4 snow traction - YouTube I have R4s on my Kioti as I had planned on using it for serious dirt work/snow plowing, and chose to try turfs...

    Kioti NX rear defrost glass upgrade

    The back window of my 2015 NX got shot out by someone mowing nearby without a guard on, so I ordered the 2016+ back glass with the defrost wires built in. Has anyone done this upgrade? It's not plug and play according to Kioti as there is not a spot in the fuse box/etc. for it, but I am assuming...

    Time for a new lawn & garden tractor! (SCUT)

    I'm ready to buy a new tractor for yard work and lawn/garden stuff like pulling a small yard work trailer, pulling a dethatcher, sweeper, etc. I also think it's the best option to put a backhoe on it, as I'd like to be able to use it around the yard for bush planting, small trenches, etc. My NX...

    Pricing on Bobcat S630

    I'm looking at a 2010 Bobcat S630 with 2300 hours. Every option including 2-speed, high flow, cab with AC, etc. Tires are newer, machine is clean and the pins are tight. Any ideas on pricing?

    Cheap tractor for hauling a trailer, with one remote

    I'd like a cheap tractor for hauling a small dump trailer (5000lbs?) on level dirt. The Ford _n series would be fine, except I need a single remote or the ability to add a remote easily for running the dump cylinder while retaining 3-point lift capability. Electric dump is not an option. What...

    Price check - 2015 Kioti NX6010

    First off, I absolutely love my NX6010. But I'm looking at possibly moving into the city (long story) and while I would keep the property I wouldn't be here, so I would probably get a cheap old farm tractor. If we buy land up north as planned I'm looking at getting an RX. It's a 2015...

    Anyone looking for a new 10' blade?

    New 1 foot heavy duty blade I believe that is the same OEM that made my Frontier... they look very similar construction in some areas, and the Frontier blade is made in Mexico as well. Seems like a good price for a new 10' blade. Mine is very heavy duty.

    Dual Cat1/Cat 2 quick hitch

    I have yet to see this and I'm not sure why it doesn't exist. I have a few Cat2 quick hitch attachments, and lots of Cat1. The NX is kind of between the two. From my understanding, the lift-pin-to-top-pin spacing on both QH standards is the same, the only difference is the Cat2's are outboard of...

    Picked up two attachments - how'd I do?

    Got a Land Pride HR3572 for $465, and a Land Pride CR2572 straw crimper for $330. I've been using a KK 72" box blade which is way too light for the tractor, I know i could go to 7' or 8' but I think this is a good upgrade until I find a larger blade. How'd I do? I think the retail on the box...

    Subsoiler pipe layer build

    Cedar fence posts instead of pressure treated?

    I am looking to add about 2000' of fencing this year. My normal supplier of pressure-treated pine posts has discontinued selling them. They now offer only cedar. I found a supplier of higher-quality cedar posts as well, who is saying that the cedar posts last ~30 years... considerably longer...

    1200 hours on a X485?

    I desperately need a new tractor for mowing... my D130 is on its last legs with a whopping 150 hours on it on its second K40. Perfectly flat ground. I have about 2-2.5 acres to mow, mostly open space. Looking at a X485 with 1200 hours. I know it's 15X the tractor, but is that a lot of hours for...

    Glenmac T8 harley rake pricing?

    Woods or Kioti backhoe?

    Looking for a backhoe for my Kioti. The Woods specs out a bit better, but it's a bit more money than the Kioti I think (I only have one quote on the Woods) Opinions either way?

    Interesting concept

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXPl6rKJZ5w Looks like a carbide-toothed Harley basically (though much slower spinning) with two vibrating plate compactors at the back. Seems to leave a really nice finish, though I bet the moisture has to be just right.

    NX-series remote valve flow?

    Any ideas how many GPM are available on one of the remotes? Thinking about running a Lowe auger and getting rid of my 3-point setup. Seems it'd be a perfect setup as I could keep the post pounder in back and auger in the front. Plus having the extra lift height would be great as I could put an...

    Using a tractor for wireless Internet installation

    An unusual project for a tractor I'm sure, but I couldn't live without it! I've lived at the same property now for 6+ years. I got it for a steal, so despite wanting a bunch of changes, I haven't been able to leave. One of the main issues though is that I work from home, and my Internet is...

    Dead heading remote for a period of time

    I have a few posts I need to pound with my Shaver. I previously converted the valve to power beyond and inserted it into the power beyond between the loader valve and 3-point on my Kubota, but I still have the closed center plug. I'd like to attach it to a remote on the Kioti for simplicity. My...

    Tire lug repair

    I searched for this with no real results, here, Pirate, Google, etc. I only have about 70 hours on my tractor, but I somehow partially ripped a lug... no clue on what. It's a 2015 Titan and I'm surprised it'd get ripped so easily. Anyhow, I'd like to put it on so it doesn't rip the rest of the...

    Connector for electrical accessories?

    Any dual Cat1/Cat2 quick attach hitches?

    It seems like it should be possible, but I haven't seen any dual Cat1/Cat2 quick attach hitches. All of my stuff is Cat1 except one item, and in the future I can imagine getting one more Cat2 but not much. It seems like it would be easily possible to have both on one unit?

    Why do cultipacker wheels "float" on the shaft?

    Frontier RB2308 8' full hydraulic blade on a NX6010

    Is the Frontier RB2308 (8') too much blade for a NX6010? It has all three hydraulic functions, so I would need a 3rd remote. I am concerned it's going to be way too much blade for my tractor.

    More SSQA problems, and a dealer to avoid

    Having to modify quick attach openings?

    Has anyone had to modify factory quick attach openings? The ones on my Bobcat attachments (they're mint condition with few hours but from 1996) work great on Bobcats, but on my new Kioti the holes where the pins go are too small... I can't get the pins down and locked in. I have a bunch of...

    New Kioti DK50?

I haven't really had a horsepower issue with my 3650 and it has over 4200 hours on it. I use a 6' gear-driven...

    Has anyone purchased the PalletForks/Titan quick attach brackets?

    Hydraulic valve similar to 3-point hitch?

It seems to have much better visibility and cab accessibility than the Bobcat, which is much harder to get into than the Gehl 6635 I had.
