Well, I finally had partial success following the suggestions above. Got most of the sway out of it but still more than an inch remains. That's good enough for the little bush hog work I do every year. Overall, I really like the tractor, it's been 100% dependable and it accomplishes all the...

Thanks all for the input. It's around 100 degrees outside right now so I'll wait until morning to try the suggestions. My old Ford 3000 had a flat piece of steel that went from the tractor to the end of one stabilizer and it worked just fine. This is progress I guess.

I have attached a photo showing the hinge on the stabilizer. When I have the piece of equipment centered and the pin in place and go to the other arm and stabilizer and try to place the pin in that stabilizer the original one just swivels at the hinge. I really don't know how to explain this any...

I bought my XG3025 with the frame mounted backhoe. So, I do not use the 3-point lift often but on the rare occasions that I do, I've not been able to figure out how the hinged stabilizers are supposed to work. I've searched this forum and numerous YouTube videos without success. The manual that...

I have two, a Roybi 40 volt 14" that I use for liming trees in the woods and cutting slabs at my sawmill. The other is a Kobalt 80 volt, 18" saw that I use for felling larger trees and cutting into desired lengths. I have three gas chainsaws that have been gathering dust on the shelf in my shop...

I see that this is a fairly old thread with no recent posts, but thought I would comment here first & see if I get any response. My tractor is a LS xg3025 and the backhoe attachment is a LS 1100 series. The first time I had an issue with the cap being broken because of excess pressure happened...

I got a call back from my dealer Friday concerning the shims that were installed during the front loader frame to engine recall. He initially said bring it down and we'll put the shims back in place. I asked if I could just loosen the 3 bolts and slide the shims back in place, he said sure, and...

I have attached a photo which shows the top of the shims above the loader bracket. The bottom bolt on the left was not completely tight. I don't recall being able to actually see the shim(s) right after they were installed, so I'm thinking that they are working out of the initial placement. I'm...

Big Blue those are really large stumps, thanks for the photos. I'm working on a river birch stump right now that is not that large but it's being very resistant to removal. I see the pressure washer being used later today so I can get a chainsaw to that tap root. I went back and read every post...

Hello Big Blue Florida, I just re-installed my backhoe about 10 days ago to clear a patch of land for a new shelter. I did go back in the forum files to see if I could find the photos that you mentioned in your last post. Unfortunately my search was unsuccessful, I'm sure it's there but i was...

E, I don't recall the 3032 being in the recall but it's possible I guess. I'm doubtful that stressing the FEL would cause the block to crack. If you bought it new I would think it's covered in the 6 year warranty. Good luck & please let us know the outcome.

Cyclone Rake has served us well for 16 years, great workmanship and friendly, knowledgeable customer service. Model names have changed somewhat since we bought ours but it has the dual wheels that still work great, 8" hose and 6.5HP Briggs. I highly recommend CR.

I've read the manual, watched a couple of youtube videos on other models but still not exactly sure how to remove the backhoe on my XG 3025. Has anyone actually done it on this model? If so any advice will be greatly appreciated. My main question is locating the pin or pins to remove the...

Anyone watching the evening news lately has seen the total devastation that Hurricane Florence has brought to many in North & South Carolina. Our homestead is located on the Cape Fear River north of Fayetteville, NC. Fortunately we are on a fairly high bank above the river, but that didn't spare...

In a previous post I mistakenly stated that the subframe comes off with the backhoe but as 3Lfarms has correctly pointed out, only a portion (ladder portion) comes off with the hoe. The main part of the subframe stays on the tractor and connects at the front to the loader mounts and in the rear...
