I'm thinking about buying an older Bobcat, possibly a 743. One of the infrequent applications will be to brush mow. A local sales rep told me a 743 can handle a 5' hydraulic mower, but it's kind of hard to justify spending the $$ when I already have access to a 3pt brush mower and other...

I would like to make a tractor path down a sugar sand hill, but I'm not sure how to go about it. The sand under the thin topsoil is clean enough to shovel into a cement mixer. Most of the slope is 20 degrees and it's up to 25 degrees in spots. There is a smaller hill on the property with the...

I've heard that there is some kind of implement for removing debris from soil but haven't been able to figure out the right search term(s). My new property has a history as a dumping ground and there is a lot of broken glass/nails/??? mixed in. The soil here is mostly sand. What should I be...

Looking to trade or sell my L3200. It's in good condition with some minor dents, dings and scrapes. What do you all think it should be worth on a dealer trade or private party sale?

The toolcat didn't look like it was set up to handle rough terrain very well and I need something that can handle a steep hill. Here is the hill on the property. A mini excavator was able to get up and down using the bucket, but most other vehicles are probably going to need the winch. Maybe...

I'm moving to a new place with some steep hills where a 4wd Utility vehicle might be more usefull than my current tractor. I have a hydraulic winch and 12 ton logsplitter that I'd like to keep using when the tractor is gone. Are there any hydrostat utility vehicles out there that can be set...

Well here it is. This has got to be the ugliest thing I've ever slapped together, but it's getting the job done for about a tenth the cost of one I could buy.

I was going down a short hill maybe 30% grade in low gear when my tractor started speeding up with no pedal input. I think it was in 4wd. The fel was on but unloaded. Nothing on the 3pt. The brakes did not help slow me down. I don't think the rear wheels were skidding but it happened very...

I need to tear apart the walls of a wood frame house into pieces small enough for loading in a dumpster. My tractor is an L3200 with the skid steer style bucket attach. Has anyone tried using a narrow stump grapple bucket on residential wood frame walls with this size of tractor?

I'm deployed, so no progress lately. It works but needs larger cylinders. It also needs an anchor to hold the frame down while pushing the spades in. There are two upright pipes in the picture that capture a hydraulic motor. The motor drives and retracts an earth screw anchor to hold the...

Is there a guideline for calculating the amount of force needed to push a digging implement into different types of soil?

I'd like to try running a small 3600 rpm generator with a hydraulic motor on a power beyond loop. I need to figure out the right displacement size for the hydraulic motor but from what I've been reading it isn't going to be as simple as I thought... The tractor is a kubota l3200. The utility...

I want to modify my loader but have a couple questions on the fittings. First, what kind of quick connects are these? They don't look exactly like any of the qc fittings at my local farm store. Next are the line ends that connect to the bucket tip cylinders. They look like 1/2 JIC and the...

I have a bunch of 1" diameter mullberry trees that I want to transplant for a firewood plot. Mullberry is a taproot tree so I need to get a root ball that's deeper that it is wide. Is there any engineering related reason you don't see hydraulic tree spades with only two spades? I undertand...

I was about to buy a cub ex2900 a couple days ago but then I read the fine print on the warranty. It looks like the use of any aftermarket attachment will void the warranty and implements are considered to be attachments. Here is the link I found on their page...

I'm looking at buying my first *real* tractor. Its a 1961 gas m5 with a schwartz loader. Haven't seen it in person yet but the owner let me know that the block froze and has a hole somewhere in the water jacket. I have a couple welders but no experience on cast iron.. What kinds of defects...
