Has anyone ever used a backhoe mounted on a trailer. I have a small JD backhoe and I don't use it much. I am thinking about putting it on a trailer and using it behind the tractor

I am gettin a noise coming from my ROP. Is there a way to quiet this down. It sounds like it is vibrating

My new tractor sprung a leak after 3 weeks of use. Talked to the dealer today and I said I would be willing to check the hyd line to the rear remote. It looks like the main line may have come loose and I cannot see hauling it in for someone to turn the fitting an 1/8 of a turn. I had my first...

2 weeks ago tonight my 3301 tractor was delivered and since then I have put almost 25 hours on it. Overall I am happy with it. I got a set of forks and a box blade with it plus the loader. I choose the gear model and R 4 tires which on the tires I am not real happy with but I can live with it...

Around 5:30 this after noon my new Kubota was delivered. I bought it on Monday and I saw it in the crate at the dealer. I bought a 3301 with loader gear shift and I got forks and a box blade. I played with it tonight until just after dark. I was impressed with it so far. The seat rides rougher...

I bought a new Kubota L 3300 today and I need to know how to flush the old oil out of my backhoe and snowblower cylinders so I don't mix the off brand oil with the new oil in the tractor. Thanks

I was at a dealer yesterday and he said that next year all diesel engines would have to use the exhaust fluid. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

Today I went to pickup parts for my tractor and saw a MF tractor on their lot. I talked to the dealer and he was full of answers to my questions. I took this tractor for a test spin and was really impressed with it. I have been looking at new ones for a while and was leaning toward a Kubota but...

I looked at a used L3240DT tracer with a LA724 loader on it. It is a 2012 and has 260 hrs on it. It has R 4 tires loaded and has rear remotes on it. Dealer is asking 19,900 for it but said I could get it for around 18000. Is this a good price? I went to the build site and a new one is not that...

I looked at A 1070 tractor that is a 4X4 and has 4800 hours on it. It had Hyd for a loader and rear Hyd on it. . Were these a good tractor? The engine runs like a top and it looks like new as it had been stored inside. I was wondering about the hours and how many could you expect before the...

I have a few questions on this tractor. How good is it and is it trouble free. How is it on fuel? I stopped today at a dealer and got a price on one and I was surprized at my trade in value he offered me. I want one with the gear shift with the shuttle. He does not have one but has a load...

I have a question about some hyd. lines. I was asked to weld up a piece of logging equit. and after looking it wasn't worth saving. The owner gave it to me but he wanted the swivel grapple on the boom. I got 5 3 spool valves and many feet of hyd hose from it. Here is my question. On the hoses...

I am putting a hyd pump on a motor and was wondering if someone has a good way to aline it. I put the pump on the motor with a coupling and I was going to use a hose clamp to aline the 2 together or is there a better way. Thanks Ivan

I am planning out a project and I have been looking for info on where to put the hyd filter into the system. I looked at many different pieces of equitment and find that some ave it on the inlet line to the tank and many have it on the outlet line. Which way is correct? I am putting togather a...
