I put UHMW on my 60" loader bucket this year to prevent driveway catching. It works well. I have the heavy duty bucket so already drilled for a cutting edge. Everybody likes pics.!

I have 2 10,000lb 2 post Versmetric Challeger hoist that I really like, best of both worlds symmetric and asymmetric in one. The side post are not turned like some asymmetric ones. The motors and hydraulic reservoirs are at the top of the post out of the way. With 2 pendant controls on both...

Nice! Good to hear it all worked out for you! You even have the thumb on it! Let's see some side shots to see how far back it sits from the rear tires? Why does Deere not suggest these 385a backhoes for 3 series cab tractors?

Well is it on? Does the 385a work perfectly fine on a 3 series cab tractor?!!

Good news it's on!

Yes....I just looked at mine, the only piece I used was the parking brake linkage. Old one in pic. "All other parts are not required".

I know I had the bottom bracket off where the cab attaches to the axle as I circled in your pic. Do you have the box of small pieces for the parking brake, service brakes and range selector? I originally was trying to use all of the parts then relised I only needed one part my my model/year...

MAINLYTRACTOR any attemp with the bracket install? Waiting to here.

Just needed 5 but figured I should have 1 extra. 1 for loader 3rd. Fuction, 2 for top and tilt, 2 for snow blower shoot rotation and deflector. I have hydraulic sliding tines on my forks so use the loader 3rd fuction when snowblower is mounted. The pic is my old 4300 but you can see the forks...

From the driver's seat, with both rear wheels removed right side was very easy. The left side was more involved and hard to get into position. Leave yourself some time and don't rush. I was trying to use all of the parts from the small parts box which was confusing untill I realised I did not...

When I was trying to get a backhoe for my 3 series cab I wanted the 385a but I was told its not for cab tractors. Well through my research I could only find out the difference from a 375a was how far back it is from the rear of the tractor. I really wanted to try a 385a but that's almost...

Tlj87 how are you liking or not liking the Woods bh85? I'm about to order one for my 3039r Cab tractor as the specs are better than Deeres 375a and you can get an hydraulic thumb. Not to mentin cheaper. Is it 2 or 3 pins to remove the hoe? You mentioned 3, and the 3 point arms can remain...

Nice! I just got a 3039r cab tractor and hate the cable operated loader control. I was just thinking of extending my joystick but also back towards the arm rest also. Thanks for the confirmation of giving it some finesse and better control, I will be tackling this new project.

In the video when you are pressing the forward pedal it looks like the reverse pedal is depressed to the floor?? Sounds like the Hydro static flow is trying to do forward and reverse at the same time. With the tractor off do both pedal depress and come back up completely? The park brake is...
