I guess it is just me, but I would hope that such products being sold in the USA would adhere to the standards in the marketplace being sold within. Yeah, foolish, I know.....

OK, so if I had the fittings in my hand, how could I tell what they are?

So in effect, my attempt to switch everything over to flat faced couplers was foolish because or my ignorance of the difficulty that would entail. I don't know why I am surprised at the lack of standards.....

So I guess no one knows? Actually not surprised much based on what I learned recently. Just a FYI, but I bought both SAE and NPT flat face couplers from Summit thinking I was going to convert everything over to this style of coupler. But no dice. None of them worked. I started with the third...

Anyone know what threading the couplers are on the front third function and the two rear remotes? SAE or NPT? Thanks.

Any idea of how I could enable it?

The parking brake light hasn't working from day 1. When I turn on the ignition, the light comes on briefly on the dash, but it is not operational when the parking brake is actually applied. I didn't think anything of it till I forgot to disable the parking brake before using it one day. I...

Hah! Talk about wishful thinking. I just got a sales solicitation email from EA. Fat chance of that ever happening guys. If my credit card company hadn't refunded the money I paid you quite likely I would STILL not have the grapple I ordered from you and paid in advance for. If you had had...

That is all well and good, but how much would it have cost EA to stay in touch with those prior customers who were left in limbo waiting for the item(s) they ordered and by all appearances were never going to receive? How much would an apology have cost them for all the stress they put people...

Well, I like it a LOT!! It is not the tractor I wanted, but turned out to be the tractor I actually needed.

Yeah... That's my plan for tomorrow. Thanks for the help. Trust no one, I guess.

LOL!!!! I had to run outside and take a look, and damn if you aren't correct! THANK YOU!

A little while back I purchased an IronCraft 72" Land plane (3606) from my local dealer. I had other issues at hand, so it just sat underneath a tarp near my carport. So the other day I had the flail mower off of the tractor anyway, so I figured I would go ahead and hook up the land plane and...

I finally settled on Shell Rotella T6 15W-40 full synthetic for engine oil, Lucas Synthetic Universal Hydraulic Fluid 10100, and Amsoil Severe Gear synthetic 80W-90. I have the filters that I picked up from my dealer, and just waiting for the Amsoil to come in.

I am having trouble figuring out what type and brand of hydraulic fluid to use. TYM is specifying "API GL-4 Grade". Some people recommend Traveler Universal Premium Tractor Fluid, but on the other hand I read elsewhere that this is not appropriate for hydrostatic transmissions. The gear oil...
