I sling a frame-mounted plow under the bucket with a chain up to the bucket for raising/lowering. The plow angle cylinders are driven from the quick-connect fittings for the bucket curl. Works great, has for years, and is a lot more efficient than a rear-mounted plow. By no means consider a...

I picked up a plow blade for $200 that already had been refitted with a crude frame for something or other. I just extended that frame and made an equally crude mount on the tractor. I threw this together in a hurry one year just before a big snowstorm. Figured I'd have to redesign/rebuild...

Well, I fashioned a retract limiter out of some scrap stuff. Here's the splitter with the adjustable retract arm - About all you really see here are the two extended wings to form a bigger table for the wood. But the retract limiter is there - It consists of a length of rod whose position is...

I have a 27 ton log splitter that handles 24" wood. Thing is, I do 16"-18" wood. If I let the piston retract all the way while I fetch the next billet I then have to wait for the piston to extend that empty 6 or 8 inches. Is there a way to stop the piston at an intermediate distance? I did...

Man, this setup is so hokey I'm embarrassed to show it. But anyway, here it is. The plow frame had been modified by some previous owner, so I just extended it to the tractor and used a couple of pins for attachment and lift swivel. I had to make the setup the day before a big storm, so there...

The Snap-Tite 9840-2 quick coupler on the Kubota FEL line - I guess this is a Snap-Tite H series connector? Can this be obtained any place other than a Kubota dealer?

Sorry, I know this has been discussed LOTS, but - I have an old Fisher plow blade with two SA cylinders. I have it mounted up front on my Kubota 2350DT and I would like to tie into the hydraulics, adding another valve to control the plow angle. The hydraulic circuit on the tractor goes...
