I just put a cover over mine. the medium to large riding mower seat covers fit nicely, and they're cheaper to replace than a seat.

The little ball for the ball and socket broke on my joystick control cable. After a little research and a purchase (gamble) from Amazon it was repaired...

On the rare occasion I use the tractor at night, the brush guard blocks much of the beam, and THEN I have the big round bale in front of that blocking the rest... I've been planning to put a light bar on the ROPS for years, but just haven't gotten to it yet.

Are you using a winter blend diesel? Or did you put anti-gel in it? Rule out slow moving fuel along with faulty glow plugs and/or weak battery

hire a local farmer with a disc to turn the top layer of soil a couple of times.

Does yours have a control knob under the seat to set the drop speed of the 3pt? that's how my 4720 is set up.

Mine broke twice, the first time it was the roll pin like the previous posts, the second time the knob broke where the roll pin sits in the grooves. Fixed it the second time by just getting a nut and screw for the tensioner system. Since the knob is useless now, I just need to use a ratchet...

solder it in, and recrimp the fitting. That's what I would try before replacing it.

the H model is hydrostatic, no clutch

Just level the corners and edges. Use a transit level or a clear plastic tube full of water. Build your structure. Don't worry about the middle until afterwards. The gravel is going to compact and settle over time and you will most likely have to add more later. Besides, the middle doesn't...

how about toothed belts and matching pulleys? Or ribbed, more surface area to avoid slippage.

The forks should have a point to hook up a stabilizer/support chain to the bucket. they also sell a bar that goes between the two forks to keep them from twisting apart.

My Branson 4720 does the same... I just spray the hell out of it, raise the bucket up to a comfortable height and then take a large punch and a hammer, and (not so) gently tap the bottom of the pin and (try to) move the release lever until it frees up. PITA. I've taken it apart and cleaned and...

I got a couple from the dealer, they aren't as cheap as they ought to be. I was able to find one at Ace hardware that worked, but it was not very strong. it worked fine until the OEM spring arrived.

the spring is hooked to a long tensioner screw on my 4720H, maybe you can tighten it up some. could be as simple as that, since it creeps both directions it sounds to me like the spring isn't tight enough
