    Grapple will open, but will not close however, it works manually when depressing at the end of the spools

    What happens if you swap the hydraulic hoses? Will it close then?

    Buying Advice Maybe going from Kubota to Mahindra.

    I have no direct experience with either (I have that evil green machine :LOL: ) but one neighbor has a Kubota and another has a Mahindra. The Kubota works hard and never stops. The Mahindra mostly lives on a trailer going to, or coming back from, the dealer for repairs. Maybe he got a bad one...

    The day the music died.

    Look into an electric chair lift if it will fit on the staircase. We got one for my mother when she was about 80 and she used it in two different houses until she died. It gave her the ability to get to things in the basement that otherwise she couldn't access. It also saved my father from...

    Does the John Deere mid mount mower auto connect work reliably?

    I had a 2032R with MMM and it was difficult to line up and attach. Moreso when the HOC (height of cut) actuator died, which is a common problem with the Deere MMM. Do an internet search for Deere HOC problems and you'll find numerous problems with them. And they are stupid expensive to fix. My...

    Rotary Cutter Keeping Outdoors

    My 72-inch cutter sits on a couple of side-by-side pallets in the side yard. My wife has 2 cats (I don't claim them as I am allergic to them) and buys cat litter in big yellow plastic buckets. I took two of the empty buckets and cut notches in them to fit over the gearbox and slip...

    Have any strange delivery experiences being rural?

    UPS, FedEx, and Amazon all deliver to my driveway or porch. USPS is a guessing game due to constantly changing drivers. Apparently the USPS regulation is for them to deliver packages up to 1/2 mile on a private road if necessary. My driveway is 4/10 of a mile from the public road but they...

    What are you OCD about?

    I have all of them vertical in my house. My youngest son is worse - Light switch screws are vertical and outlet screws are horizontal. We built a new house about five years ago and I spent the first couple of nights flipping all of the light switches around so all were down when off. Drinking...

    Tar River Manufacturing

    I have a Tar River grapple that states it was made in USA. No problems out of it at all except some surface rust where the paint job is bad.

    Where to find stencils for tractors and equipment

    Is there a sign shop local to you? Take that picture, and height/width measurements, and they can probably cut some new decals fairly cheaply.
