Finally had a day to finish up the welding on my new landplane. This was a great project and look forward to getting it painted and up to the farm. Total cost $480 in steel, $160 for blades plus about three days work for me. Used both Mig and Stick welding. Farmed out the holes on the...

Second day on project. Making progress.

Afternoon #1 of grader project started with a visit to the steel yard where I picked up materials using Gordon's list. $460 which included probably $50 of extra materials for another project. Back to hangar to unload and begin. Pulled out the plasma cutter and first made the 3x3 triangle cuts...

Here is what I was able to do on mine. When welding the expanded metal, just wash the puddle on to the wire or else it will melt thru. I have also used thick washers to hold the expanded metal and weld the washer to the frame.

I've been wanting a 3 pt. log splitter to run on a MX5100 Kubota. Read almost all the threads here and know to expect it to be a little slow. My spec show pump capacoty 9.5 gpm with power steering 4.9. Am I wasting my time think this will work? I see much smaller tractors using them on...

I am researching to buy an ssqa adapter plate (weld on) for an old pallet fork that I want to convert. It will be used on a Kubota MX5100 FEL. Anyone have any experience with the one out there on the market? What thickness do I really need? Just plan on moving no more than 2000 lbs and not...
