My NX6010

Meanwhile, since the quick attach is still getting hammered out in the field, Plan B added a couple of chunks of expanded metal to protect the skid steer quick attach handle from getting bashed.

Before paint.

BTW, since I had to grind it off as prep for welding, I can share that Everything Attachment's paint is a pretty good finish. Even so, EA should consider offering color choices as an additional customization choice for customers if they can figure out how to do it without impacting their own bottom-line.

Let us know how the expanded metal works out. I find it tends to snag brush which interferes with a clean dump.

Expanded metal works fine on my grapple. I have not had any problems with it snagging brush.

Same here..

Today I was thrilled that the 3" tilt cylinder that I ordered from Michigan Iron and Equipment arrived. Sadly, when I tried to install the tilt cylinder, I learned that the lower clevis was not wide enough for my NX6010. Apologetic, MIE made the cylinder to fit an NX4510, not an NX6010. The cylinder is now back in the box it came in getting closer to MIE.

Sadly, MIE also is using a cylinder with recessed fittings making it impossible to get SAE 8 to SAE 8 standoffs according to Custom Hose Tech (my local hydraulics jobber) so that I could use my cool, double acting creeper valve. A tilt kit is useless to me unless I can install check valves. Without standoffs I cannot use my banjo fittings and the check valve that routes both lines together, like the top cylinder's check valve. If I end up using this cylinder without standoff I'll be forced to use an inline check valve, which is something else that can get snagged by sticks as well as have a rats-nest of hoses. I'm going to call MIE and ask if they know where to get some standoffs.

In other news, Apple released iOS 8.3 last night and, among other things, it was supposed to fix bluetooth pairing problems. Sadly, it didn't fix my bluetooth pairing problem with the JVC 310BT radio.

How tall do the #8 to #8 adapters need to be? Discount hydraulics have some not sure they would work for you. Part number 6410-08-08

Without knowing more details I can't say for sure but I do not think it's the phone that has the issue. I have ran all the iOS 8 betas and never had an issue with Bluetooth.

Make sure you have read and followed the Bluetooth pairing instructions for your radio. Does you truck have Bluetooth? Does the iPhone 6 have issues pairing with it? If you do not have problems pairing other devices to your phone I would be looking into an issue in the radio side not the phone. Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure it is the phone that is the issue considering the other people online complaining. The radio sees the phone, the phone sees the radio and then the phone doesn't respond with the code in time.

Thanks. With a $20.00 minimum order, I ordered a variety pack of SAE 8 adaptors.

 

[countrybumpkin]

Yeah, I dint know about the minimum order until this afternoon when I was going to order, so I am going to get a list of other stuff I'll be needing in a few weeks and place my order tomorrow.
