Looking at getting a 7 foot tiller. Can get the ironcraft for 3600 or the kingkutter for 4000. How does these two compare in durability and quality?

Thinking about making a land plane. My idea is different than any design I've seen. What is y'all's thoughts on this? 10 foot wide Angle blades upward in center. Center 2inches higher My idea is this would be excellent driveway tool. The width would allow full coverage of driveway The blades...

See these weld on conversion plates on Amazon, ebay, titan and ect to convert pin on FEL to skid steer style disconnect.However they all look about the same and they don't mention weight capacity. They also don't mention machine sizes. Have searched for heavy duty ones, but when I look at...

Looks like both are built on same chassis and have same engine. The 6040 has about 64hp and m7040 about 71hp. Anyone know the difference is that adds the extra few hp? Setting on injection pump or slightly larger injectors?

Just out of curiosity about how much do you guys think my m5700 weighs? 4wd with loader. R4 tires front and rear loaded with water. I think the belly pan and canopy adds another 500 or so.

I'm looking to get a used seed drill for pasture and wildlife management. I will be planting millet and Bahia in newly prepared beds and overseeding old Bahia fields with rye and clover. What should I look for and what should i avoid?

Stuff comes in handy for various projects. Got some from a surplus store that they cut off of a parachute. Its not 550 cord. It doesn't have any inner cords just hollow sheath. Larger than the 550 cord. Googled it but didn't find anything like it. Any idea what it is and specs of it?

Found one for sale. Looks to have had little use. I'm thinking one of these motorized torches would be nice for cutting holes. Is $350 a good price? I have not found any anywhere else to compare price.

Brown mentions sharpening the blades on there tree cutter with torch. Is this done by heating and hammering to shape? I'm guessing it is more likely cutting off the rounded edge. Anyone do this?

I have a lot of tee posts to drive. cross fencing 162 acres worth. The soil here is sandy with hard clay below and roots. I've noticed pushing down with front loader in places where they want to bend they will drive if beat in. I think vibration/ impacts are needed to drive. I have this...

Can start with carb cleaner and dies soon as cleaner is used up. I have replaced fuel hose , cleaned fuel filter, cleaned carb. Problem started after I took saw apart to replace broken brake handle. Could there be a tiny hole in the pulse hose from carb to crank case? Any other ideas to check?

my sthil ms310 will not start unless I spray carb cleaner in carb. I've took apart carb and sprayed out with cleaner. replaced fuel hose. Any ideas what to check next?

Need to build some protection for my m5700 Kubota. Stopping small brush from damaging cables, wires, filters and such when bushing hogging is main goal. I think I'm going to use 1/4" diamond tread steel plate for belly pan as it is stronger than smooth. I'm not sure what size expanded metal to...

I have a 32x36 pole barn. I would like to have a floor other than dirt that would not be damaged by oil or welding. I don't want rocks. I have noticed a lot of commercial parking lots done where pavers are installed instead of concrete due to run off impact fees. These seem to hold up to...

The dump trailer I was using broke the hydraulic ram at the end where it tapers down for threads. It also broke from the mount off the trailer. What would be the most economical means of repairing this?????

I'm looking to buy a good used trencher for my small farm use. I'm putting in water lines for cattle troughs now and hopefully soon will be trenching power for shop. Renting has not worked out well as I have a full time job and need to use as I have time, weather permits and soil is dry enough...

Why doesn't someone make a gator type mulching blade for rotary cutters? Sure would be nice to be able to mulch the small stuff while hogging. I'm almost tempted to weld some wings on my blades. But then again with my welding skills safety would be a concern. Also deck clearance might be issue.

Noticed a loose blade too late on my howse 7' single spindle. Of course noticed it too late as the tab on the bolt that locks into the stumper jumper was worn and bolt would spin. Anyhow got blade of to get new bolt. The past owner rounded off the end when they sharpened the blades (sort of...

My M5700 makes a whining noise. Can not locate where the sound comes from, it seems to travel all through the tractor. It sounds like when a hydraulic pump is ran with out fluid. The fluid level is good. All hydraulic circuits work fine. Noise seems to be worse at idle and taper of above idle...

Would these work well? Rake Master Cylinder Pair * Make Offer *

The LA1002 loader on my M5700 maximum lift height at center pin is 114". I have a job where dirt is needed loaded an a dump truck. I normally don't do much dirt work so I have no clue if my kubota will left high enough. Would the buta be big enough for the job or do I need a large industrial TLB?

http://www.dewalt.com/us/products/tool_detail.asp?productID=21464 Bought one to keep the equipment, shop and such clean. Everything on the motor says it is a dewalt motor even the manual says it is a dewalt engine. Did dewalt really build this motor?

I need to rent a machine to trench 3000' of 1" water line. My soil is sandy/loamy with clay layer 2-3' down. A lot of the areas are very soft and muddy. I will be going by some trees so I'm sure I will hit roots. The pipe needs to be at least 24" deep. I can rent a ride on type or a walk behind...

With all the posts on homemade grapples using fabricated joints with pin, bushing and tube for bushing. I'm wondering about the swivel type joints used on cat 1 top links. these use a 1" pin and the ends can be bought pretty cheap. How well would these work for building grapples?

New 68" Flail Mower EFGC175 Cat.1 3pt 30+HP Rating - eBay (item 300367675997 end time Nov-21-09 17:30:32 PST) I know some on here have bought the betstco flail. They make one that they claim can take out 3" stuff with the hammer/mulch blades. Has anyone tried one? would this reliably take out...

I grew up using bush hog type mowers. I understand from the forum that members who own both types prefer to use the flail. For some reason the flails are not poplar around here. I do not know anyone that has one, but most that own a tractor have a rotary cutter. I own pastures that was leased...

found a used 7' woods rotary cutter. Haven't seen it yet, but I'm told there is a small rust hole at the back where debris was left on top to rot. other than that is said to be in good condition. Is $1000 a reasonable price?

Got a markham tooth bar on my L3300. Need tooth bar on my M5700. I have a cutting edge off a grader blade its 3/8" thick and tapers on one side. Thinking I could weld teeth to this. I'm looking at teeth here Dirt Works Industrial Tooth Bar, Bucket Teeth, Assembled or Build Your Own Tooth Bar The...

Would there be any cons to having one made with twin tiger style teeth instead of the square ones?

Why is the hydro top links so much more than a regular tie rod style?:confused::confused: Any ideas on adapting the cheaper ones to the ball ends?

Mine has a quick disconnect for bucket. I don't think it is the skid steer style. Has pins at bottom and rod at top that attachment hooks on to. Is this a kubota only style and I'm stuck to useing bota stuff?

Want to get parts for a hydro top link. Already have 1 remote. Any idea what size/style quick disconnect fitting the factory installed. Looks to me like there is 3 different types of hydro disconnects.

How well would this work???? modify a bush hog so that a cover on the rear can be raised up like on the big tree cutters to allow cutting small trees and instead of having 2 swing blades have 4,6 or maybe 8 standard swing blades so that each blade would take less of a bite? Blades could even...

found a m5700 with 4wd,loader with bucket and pallet forks, 460hrs, 2004 model. Seller says everything works good and no damage. They want $15500 which seems to be good price. Seller said they have had problems in past with cashier checks and with the soar in frauds I can understand there...

My l3300 gst I 1st noticed the clutch pedal was a little harder to push in . Thought something may just be sticking so I continued to use. Now the tractor will not move when under load and barely by itself. I do not smell a burning smell or anything hot when slipping. To get it home when it...

Have got 120 acres that needs refenced for cattle. need to clear old fence line. Fence is about 30yrs old. Mostly brush needs removed. Found a 4500. guy wants 3500. Says it is in good shape. Have not seen it yet. I'm told it has manual tranny not shuttle. I would think this would be better than...

My L3300 is to small for jobs I do. I know I need bigger, but got to work with what I have for awhile. Large Round bales are too heavy on the fel, same goes for pallets of seed/feed. Would the King Kutter Pallet Mover Model# PM-15 work ok for both pallets and round bales? Would the hay just roll...

What would be best for me to use in my HOT cimate for my L3300 gst? AMSOIL - Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil (ATH) Texas Refinery Corp. Specialty Lubricants and Greases TRC Texas Refinery Corp. Specialty Lubricants and Greases TRC ChevronTexaco Synthetic All-Weather THF

Mine is in pretty bad shape. Threads are worn out and it keeps getting bent from getting out of adjustment. Anyhow it seems like the only time I ever adjust a side link is when they somehow come loose. More so when bushhoging or useing tiller due to vibrations. This part seems to me to be more...

Looking to by one most likely a northstar brand. I would need to spray crossbow for briars. The sprayer says not for crop oils.:confused: I think crossbow is oil based. Are is crop oils refering to something else? It's rated for round up. Ok to use for crossbow and fertilizers also?

I got one of andy tatro's grapples. It clamps down fine for brush. The property I have was left with a bunch of junk and a few buildings in need of demo. If I try to pickup something other than brush it does not have enough clamping power to hold it. Items like loose roofing tin it will not...

Would this work for my L3300? Surplus Center Item Detail Anybody recomend a certian size or model?

I have a Lincoln Electric Pro MIG 180. The 1st few times I used it I was amazed at the nice welders. I was making much nicer welds than I could on the miller at work. All of a sudenly I can't weld for nothing. I'm still on my 1st spool of wire and tank of gas. The welds have a lot of pores and...

I bought this one: Surplus Center Item Detail Specs are: 12 VDC TRIPLE SELECTOR VALVE New, triple selector valve originally built for use on CATERPILLAR skid-steer loaders. Part number 155-5569-GP04. Allows one directional control valve to control three separate circuits. First circuit is...

found one for $250 at a pawn shop. Is this a good welder

I can find some good deals on used "tombstone" welders. All the ones I find are ac only though. What is the benfits of having a dc welder? Would I give up much if I just bought a ac welder?

Is this a good welder? Home depot has it for $389. Learned to weld with mig/wire feed, is the stick much harder to weld with?

Have seen a few homemade on here and looked at few bought ones. Hadnt seen any with tube grapples. Is there some reason that arms wouldn't as strong are work as well if made from schedule 40 or 80 pipe? Would think it would easier and maybe cheaper than have steel cnc cut. Harbour freight sells...

Surplus Center Item Detail How well would this work to divert curl function to use for grapple and to use other two diverter sections to divert curl for top and tilt? This would take the place of needing rear remotes and allow for grapple use?

Does this look like a good grapple for my L3300? Universal Grapple for skidsteer or frontend loader - eBay (item 250217745475 end time Feb-26-08 12:03:12 PST)

Looking at getting a cheap grapple to mount on bucket. Tractor is L3300. Searched posts on this. Looks like a princeton valve from surplus center would be the cheapest. Guess I might as well get a 3 spool for T&T. If I understand it right the fluid goes 1st through the FEL and then it goes its...

A freind has lower arms on his kubota that can be released and pulled out for easier hookup. Can my L3300 be changed to this setup? Anybody do this? I guess it would have to be all kubota part$:eek:

Would putting a mixture of diesel and roofing tire like people paint fences be good for a trailor deck?

I know what both are and understand how there used. I have not used a subsoiler, I have used turning plow or moldboard plow alot though. I'm renovating a old pasture and planting for winter forage. It is hard packed sand/loam with clay 8-10" below. We have always used a turning for gardening...

Looking at getting a better trailor. Right now I just Have the L3300 fel and loaded tires. May get a larger farm tractor(75hp?) soon. Have 3/4 dodge diesel to pull with. Truck has a goose neck hitch. Never had a GN but I understand these are much better than the bumper pulls I'm used to. I'm...

I was given a set of forks that is made to use on a bucket that has hooks on top of the bucket that the top bar of the forks hook into like the industrial tractors have. The set I have was made for a ford compact tractor a little smaller than my kubota. would it be better to have hooks cut out...

I have a l3300 with la480 fel. lift capacity never did seem that great but now it want lift a full bucket of dirt. reving the motor does not seem to help. is there an adustment for the amount of hydrolic preasure?

Any body no anything about vikon (maybe spelled vicon,not sure)? is there really much differance in strength with a chain drive or gear drive? how big of roots is it safe to till through as a general rule? I've heard some people say that shear pins are better becouse the slip clutches can...

Anybody know anything about these? Local dealer has used 5' for sale I should be able to get for $800. Doesnt look to have been used to much. Tines are in good shape. Is gear driven with slip clutch. Looks like the same quality build as king kutter didnt find anything online, should it be hard...

a few days ago the fel bucket would not curl it felt like it was stuck. Being the quick thinking idiot I decided to try to see if it would move by lowering the bucket to the ground and curling the bucket as I backed up. Thats when the fluid came out of the valve. after this I got off the tractor...

how well would one of these work on a kubota with a 540rpm. Was these tillers designed to work at the higher pto gears that yanmar has? how does the quality compare to others? Should there be a clutch or shear pin for this tiller?

a local dealer has for sale 5 foot yanmar tillers. They looked to be refurbished with new blades. He gets $725 for them. He said I may need a longer drive shaft. Theres no slip clutch on this. I didnt see any place for a shear pin either. Are these any good for foodplots gardens and such or were...

Whats the pros and cons of notched blades and smooth round ones?

I've looked at other posts and it seems like most of you use something other than water becouse of freezing. I'm in florida it doesnt get below feezing to often and frankly I wouldnt use the tractor in the cold other than maybe needing to move something that could'nt wait. Is there any other...

I'm kinda new to FEL's. I would think a tooth bar would help with digging,pulling roots and i'm thinking it would really help alot to pickup brush and such as the bucket on my l3300 isn't to big. I'm thinking a tooth bar would help me alot. But what am I missing here alot of pros but no cons to...
