I just bought a new CK3510SEHC and on the loader level indicator when the bucket is level there is about 3 of rod above the indicator tube. Do I cut the excess off or is this the way it is supposed to be? I thought the rod was supposed to be flush with tube when level.

I am looking to upgrade to a factory cab tractor with air conditioning and found a 2017 Kioti CK4010HST for sale near me. Was just curious about the pros and cons of owning this tractor. If I remember they are pretty much the same as the Bobcat tractors were. Any information would be helpful. I...

I know there are several different methods of building a rear ballast but I wanted to show what I did for mine to share ideas.

I finally got a good start on my homemade cab for my JD 3032E this week and thought I would share my experience as I got the idea and courage to do it from this site. After my neighbor took delivery of his new Farmall with a cab it gave me a little incentive that I could build one without having...
