Here's how I do my brush mowing. Local golf course even borrowed it to do the edges of a pond because it could reach down the bank. Lots of old Gravely stuff around.
Our winters here in the White Mountains of NH have been getting icier than ever. I started using a front mounted landscape rake top strip ice almost 40 years ago with great success, both commercially and residentially. I now leave this 6' rake set up on my Kubota BX22 for just such occasions...
This used to happen to me on my skid steer regularly. My solution was to stick a piece of hardwood (firewood usually) behind the plate that was lagging behind the other and using the roll back gradually to bring the leading plate back to being parallel with the other using several gentle tweaks...
I'm hearing great reports about the new hybrid R14T tread. I'm having no luck trying to find a pair for my Kubota L45.
Looking for 15 19.5 R14T.
Called the factory and dealers and have not been able to locate, though I see them on new tractors.
Any ideas?
Here's how to turn a 2 wheel wheelbarrow into a back saving attachment by way of a simple removeable drawbar that allows the cart to be dumped while still attached to the back of a tractor. Low cost/no cost, great functionality.
Here's a device I first put together in 1985 so I could blow snow with my Case skid steer, long before high flow hydraulics and such became available.
The original engine was a Honda 11 hp. I mounted it to an I beam with the front end of a Gravely tractor offset and powered by a chain drive with...
Most backhoe as well as other controls only send fluid to bypass when the control is activated, which is why the first responder to this post correctly commented: Remember the hydraulic system control valves, lines and cylinders are not protected with relief pressure valves when external loads...
The "offset positions" that you speak of are just about infinite using the backhoe in this manner. And if you've had a half century of running a backhoe (like I have), it's very easy to control. The L45 operator's seat actually pivots several degrees to the right (as well as spinning backwards...
I guess you didn't bother to read all of the text. In this case, most of the spoil got reworked into the ditch with the grass clumps raked out with the FrontRunner. I do this every year or two to keep the grass from taking over the driveway. Strictly cosmetic.
That would certainly be fine but...
I've finally discovered a way to allow my tractor to do the same type of ditching that could be done with a rear mounted blade without having to remove the backhoe, install the lift arms and mount a rear blade..
The first step was to add a second mounting position to the old Gravely blade that...
