Anyone have a link to the service manual? It was floating around on here a few years ago but I can’t find it.

This! I ultimately built a 40x100 when I thought 40x50 would be plenty. I’m browsing this sub because I’m thinking it’s time to upgrade again. Definitely add a Leanto. I didn’t and I regret it. They’re always something to stick under there.

Thanks for the tips. You might be right on the 540. I’m definitely worried about noise so I will be keeping on the Htz. I’ve even looked at directly buying mil surplus gens but I’ve got 3 meters on-site and I’m about to have a fourth so the idea that I can plug and play at different locations...

Thanks. I’ve got lots to run. I’m just going to ignore the 3ph irrigation pump as that’s the only thing running it. Last question. Should I get a 540 or 1000 RPM gen? They have the same tractor hp requirements so while my gut says to go with 1000rpm I’m not sure why. Btw, I’m leaning on the...

Thanks for the reply guys. I guess I wrongly assumed that the power produced was set and didn’t vary based upon demand draw. They’re *smarter* than I thought. I guess simply, it’s like any other implement like a bush hog where I can spin an 8’ mower with 28hp but sure can’t mow very fast without...

Thanks for the response. What HP and KW you running? Does it really strain your lower HP tractors? I guess this is where I get confused. Set aside the 540vs1000 thing. The load is somewhat linear and based on pto RPM, right? So how do I produce 14kw on a 28hp and more on larger tractor? I guess...

Okay gents. I want a generator for hurricane season. For farm use and homestead from irrigation pump to home HVAC. I can do everything with 35kw and probably 25kw. Here is my Q. I have three tractors. Tractor HP is 28, 36, and 100 all of them have at least 540 and 1000. Can I get a 25kw and if I...

The 2018 report didn’t indicate a pending catastrophe. Maybe they missed something but more likely the structure deteriorated further (perhaps by the nearby construction). Two big factors at play 1. Condo assocs always fight over special assessments. Sometimes consultants recommend too much work...

Hey Andy, did you ever get all the seals sorted out on size? How are they holding up? I took my leaking cylinder to a shop last year and it’s leaking again so figured I’d do it myself this time around but I’m still unsure of all the seals needed. TIA!

Ok gents. Gotta replace the seals on one of the bucket arms (leaking). Probably stupid question. Can anyone tell me how to remove the (dust) cover (CK08-1102)? The bucket cylinders have two holes (assuming set screws?) and the boom has three but all are same size. I've got both holes marinading...

I've scoured the forum and internet and apparently I'm getting old as I can't seem to find the answers. I'm in central florida and need to build a pole barn that I will probably close in myself doen the road. I don't need permits as I'm ag exempt. While I don't need permits I'm trying to find...

Looking for thoughts I should consider before I build. Especially things that are a bit harder to retrofit (ie running conduit or pipes under slab before it is poured). I’m looking to build roughly 40x60 garage to hold my three tractors. Two are open compacts. The third is a full size 100hp...

Okay, the name kind of says it. I have a relatively simple field fence and I keep having an issue of (presumably) drunk morons not noticing that the road ends and crashing through my corner posts. It's been the same spot and I really thought that 8-9" round treated corners would be sufficient to...

Here is the ck35 that I got about a week ago and just got the gator grapple hooked up Saturday. I feel like I got a little ripped on the Chinese made hyd connectors from my local supply house but I wanted to get to work this weekend. In addition to the grapple I got the tree boom and forks. Got...

OK Kids, Just took delivery of my new ride (CK35HST) I'm not new to tractors, but am a hydraulics novice. I had the dealer install a rear remote in anticipation of a grapple. I plan on getting a light gator grapple. But some Q's first The rear grapple is a 1/2" QC and the new grapple will...
