It excludes the tractor weight on rear axle. JD wants you to load the rear tires on the OOS because it doesn’t have the built in cab weight.
I have a 5085e with 540m loader . I’m using 2 wheel weights per side and about 1700lbs on 3 pt hitch, no liquid in tires. I find it’s plenty for my uses...
I’ve got quite a few hours operating a mini ex shear mostly in my orchard. My need was to reduce the size of some older overgrown sweet cherry trees that had reached 25-30ft down to a max height of about 20’. With limb diameter generally in the 3-6” range a pole saw wasn’t going to work and at...
More pictures of your set up would help👍. Is the tractor new to you? Not sure how familiar you’re with it. First thing I’d check is the flow control down by your right ankle above floor board . Should be clocked fully counter clockwise for max flow, only turns maybe 45 degrees. This controls...
For gauges you should get at least 2 , a 1k psi for testing pilot pressure and 5k for working hydraulics . I bought a three gauge kit from amazon mainly for the gauges and the test lines that go to gauges. You’ll end up buying individual fittings to tap the test line into your system at various...
Yeah my mother who just passed maiden name was Morrison , Our farm is right across Elk lake road from my cousin Mark Morrison. Our place is called Seven Gables Farm, we have the small country gift store called the Granery. Is that picture of Elk lake you posted looking at the narrows between Elk...
That’s a beauty of a excavator, congratulations I’m sure you’ll love it.
I must not be far from your place, I live down Hanel Rd off of Elk Lake Rd about 2 miles south of Elk Rapids.
I was actually out on my excavator today, pulled half dozen old cherry trees. Crazy weather
yes end without shaft. Just want to make sure you’re adjusting the port relief that regulates the base end of thumb cylinder.
My jam nut was 3/4 also. Be a real good idea before you bust the jam nut lose to put a sharpie or paint mark on end of set screw for reference point.
Thanks, was really quite easy. I like to bolt them on also as RJC says. I’d have to remove them too if I ever want to use suitcase weights on front so that was big reason for bolt on.
I also think if you dropped the perforated steel thickness down to 1/8” or little less it could be gently...
First step is to locate your thumbs control valve in your main valve stack and see if it has port relief valves. Usually Allen head set screw and jam nut , that’s where you’ll set the relief pressure for your thumb base end .
You can plug a 5000psi pressure guage into your quick connect that...
Here’s a exceedingly easy way to make a excellent grille guard, no drilling or welding involved.
I bought a 49”x54” sheet of perforated steel 3/16” thick 3/8” holes on 9/16” centers, enough to make four good sized guards. At $18 a square foot cost a little more than expanded metal but stronger...
The thermostart on my 5030 is threaded into the front end of the intake manifold near the fan. When voltage is sent to it the wire coil gets red hot igniting the gravity fed fuel supplied by a small fuel line from tank. As the coil gets hot it opens a heat activated valve allowing the fuel to...
