    Pat's Quick Hitch and arms... slanting when lifting?

    Except it didn't fit my "Quick Hitch" implements... See photos First shows the bottom hook is too thick on the back part... second one show the top link not even close to working. Yes.. it's a Quick Hitch Land Pride snow blower.

    Outdoor Hydrant Maintenance

    I'd guess its more than that as it didn't start happening until at least 10 years after install.

    Outdoor Hydrant Maintenance

    Ya, that means hiring it out to someone that can shut off the curbstop from the well. Oh well, should be cheap. I was thinking of dumping some marvel mystery oil down there to soak for a week then flushing it..haha.

    Outdoor Hydrant Maintenance

    I've been noticing my outdoor hydrant is getting harder to open when it gets cold. I have all the joints lubed, the shaft, etc, but I'm wondering if there is a way to lubricate the plunger down in the bottom of the hydrant. I know it's lubed when installed, but it's been probably 15 years now...

    Pat's Quick Hitch and arms... slanting when lifting?

    Yes. That's what I stated. I didn't know if it was the Pat's causing the issue or not. Just the nature of the beast from what I found.

    Pat's Quick Hitch and arms... slanting when lifting?

    That's what she said.. lol jk. Anyhow, I hope they're not worn out.. the tractor is hardly 3 years old. I posted a video showing it's happening and working as expected. I also asked on a video specific to a BX and he said yep... his does too and it's normal. No issues after 7 years.

    Pat's Quick Hitch and arms... slanting when lifting?

    Finally found a video that shows it's working as intended. Notice when it hooks and the minute it gets some weight on it the whole arm tilts in... @25 seconds in (link should work)

    Pat's Quick Hitch and arms... slanting when lifting?

    It's not the pats that are angling... it's the whole 3pt arm. All install was done per the instructions. I did find a video online and asked if the same thing happened with them and they said yes on their Kubota. I just think it seems odd.. trying to find where the force is coming from that...

    Pat's Quick Hitch and arms... slanting when lifting?

    Hey all! After a terrible experience with a "Quick Hitch" I returned it and got a Pats Quick Hitch. Installation on my BX2860 went smoothly, but I have a question. When lifting an implement the arms (and pat's hitch) angle inwards. I guess I never noticed if it did that with just the 3 point...

    BX2680... sort of a grinding feeling through steering wheel when turning on pavement

    Hello all! Last year I traded my BX1860 for a 2680. Love it! But, when mowing and doing a turn around (fairly sharp, but not pinned) I can feel grinding through the steering wheel. 4wd is off. Fluid is fine. I never felt this on my 1860. The amount of vibration/grinding varies a little...

    Carryover Stihl Chainsaw prices?

    I am in the market for a new chainsaw.. my old Stihl 025 is starting to show it's wear.. still a nice saw, though. I'm looking at a Stihl 362 at a local dealer and noticed it's listed as a 2012 model. But, they're still asking full MSRP ($750 or so with 18" bar and chain). This doesn't look...

    Fimco Gold Pump Losing Pressue

    I've also sent this to Fimco for help but I thought I would ask here too. I have a 30 gallon pull behind sprayer I purchased at TSC. It has one of the 12v Gold Series pumps on it. The issue I'm having is the pump seems to be losing pressure after a few minutes of spraying. It starts out...
