My Massey 2850 engine oil filter is exactly like my Harley Davidson amsoil filter emom134.also fits my perksons diesel generator.

I have the Massey 2850 with a 72” Puma blower and I installed skids 1/2“ flat bar 4x12” long and a hydra top link for tilting the blower while on soft gravel driveways. Added a electric actuator to tilt the Shute outlet and it came hydraulic motor to rotate the Shute. Your Fluid Film recommended...

So far I've just removed 12" spruce stumps, it will shear the larger roots easily by splitting these and inch at a time. I have been asked to remove a few old maple stumps recently cut at ground level. The tip is like a sharp chisel, I personally feed it can split the larger roots with easy as...

For welding I used my millermatic 185 with multiple passes, usually 4-5 passed with duel shield. 035 wire.

The ripper blade is 3/4”, 24 “ in length, gussets are 3/4” onto a 3/4” top plate with same size bucket ears, with 40mm pins. 6385 lbf curling & digging force. It’s weight is listed 7817lbs ,this 303cr has the heavy counter weight with a longer stick.

I wanted a root ripper for the same reasons.so I welded some old pieces together and stuck a Cat sticker on. It really does speed up stump removal, but I concerned about my windshield or I just have to remember to open them out of the way.

I did the same as you with my 2hp milling and drill press and also my 2hp lathe. on the lathe I enjoy the soft start especially when cutting metric threads as I have to reverse leaving the split nut engaged When taking multiple cuts.

When loading tractor or mini X, I open my phone app, drive onto the trailer until I see 850- 1200 lbs on the phone app scale. Set my wdh bars and you can see the load on the front and rear wheels.

If it hasn’t been mentioned yet, I worried about loading and balancing my trailer load and found a neat tool called Betterweight. It works excellent to measure tongue weight and can even tell how much you’re hauling. I also use it to with my wdh . Have a look at .https://www.curtmfg.com/betterweigh

most of us have the pucker factor when tractoring across a the side of a hill,it discouraged us from wanting to do that again.. for a while anyway.

I did the same very usef ul mods to my mini X also, I added 2-7” fanges for picking up rocks closer to my mini.

They are also on 2850m loader, I had better check my cap retaining bolts too.

I have one and grooved my tractor front tires, adds 50% better steering in snow!

I’ll plug my tractor block heater in a few hours earlier but it still needs to warm up the hydraulics afterwards. My emergency Perkins diesel generator weekly test, a timer will turn on the block heater 3 hrs before starting to reduce the stress of starting at full RPM. Cold days that warm up...

To make it a bit more confusing there is also a 2850M Deluxe model too..
