I cleared some land and got most of the brush burned off. Now I'm left with a bunch of piles of dirt with small pieces of wood in them. I have a grapple that I've used to shift through and get the large stuff out. What can I use to get the small stuff separated. I looked at on of the top soil...

I have a Kubota MX5100 that I would like to plant some grass seed in my yard with a no till grain drill. I don't have any rear remotes but I do have hydraulics on the front of my tractor to run my grapple. Can I get some more hydraulic hoses and temporarily attach to the front hoses and run...

I've got a few acres. About 7 or so that I need to level out . I need to move a fair amount of dirt from the top side to the bottom side. What do i need to do this. I've got a kubota mx5100. 50 hp tractor with a front end loader. I started off with a very cheap and half tore up box scrape and...

I'm looking to build a poll shed (40x60). I ran across some 4x4x1/8 tube steel at a pretty good deal and was wondering if it would be strong enough to hold the weight and stand the wind? I知 looking to make the post 14 tall, I can bury them in concrete or weld base plates and anchor them to the...

I looked at a set of old Athens offset harrows this weekend. They was the pull type. I have a MX5100, 4x4, R4 tires (loaded), and front end loader attached. This harrow is 7.5' wide. Looks to be really heavy. Would my tractor be enough to pull this harrow? I felt like it was a good deal @...

Looking to buy a set of disc harrows. I like the pull type that raise and lower with hydraulics. I don't have remotes on my mx5100 yet but I do have the 3rd function hydraulics that I use to operate a grapple. Can I just hook up to them with some more hydraulic hoses and run them back to the...

I'm fixing to cast myself a concrete ballast box (around 1500lbs) for my Kubota MX5100, I was planning on using an 1 1/8 round stock to connect to the 3pt hitch. Will the 1 1/8" round stock hold the weight without bending over time? Are the 3pt hitch pins hardened? I can use the Pins if I need...

I have a Kubota MX5100 4x4 gear drive and I would like to add some wheel weights to it. I was thinking around 1k (500lbs to each tire). I have a source to get some 1" plate just slightly above scrape price and have a waterjet at work that shouldn't be to much trouble to gain access to. My rims...

I'm looking to plant some sunflowers and corn for a dove field. I have a 2 row Allis Chalmers 70 series planters that I can adjust to two row or I can remove one and just do a one row. I will be pulling it with a Kubota MX5100 with R4 tires. My tractor is 74" outside of tires, the inside of...

I finally got back in town here is the plate that's in my planter the number is 310992 does anybody know what its for? It is a 24 cell, does that mean that it is safe to say that 24 cell would be good to go on the rest of the plates I buy? Also I need springs for the front of my planter, on...

I need a little help, I just acquired an old planter and I don't what plates to use. The planter is an Allis Chambers but from what I read I can use an adapter plate and run JD-71 plates. The 71 plates seam to be available more than Allis Chambers. I'm looking to plant Sweet/ field corn, also...

I've lost the pin on my landscape rake, the one that allows the rake to rotate. I know it needs to be 3/4 " But does it need to be hardened or will mild steel work? If it's mild steel I can throw one together today at work. If it's hardened I guess I'll have to buy one. So Hardened or mild steel?

I'm having some land cleared right now I've had about 4.5 acres pushed up. What attachments do I need to get the job finished. There are roots that need to be removed. And ground that needs to be smoothed out. I have a Kubota mx5100 and no attachments. I assume a good box scrape is a must...
