this is just a hobby so I’m not looking to spend a bunch of money. I’ve got a 45hp bobcat ct4045 tractor. Is it big enough to pull a hay baler and how much $ would I need to spend? Just looking how to make the small square bales Thank you

Looking at a Iron-craft ctgr60 for my bobcat ct4045. $1,500 price. Is this a good price on it? Will it hold up well? Looking to move brush, logs, rocks and uproot small saplings out of the ground I don’t use my backhoe on. Thanks.

Update. Read remote hydraulic was in down position, not neutral. Problem solved but not sure how to delete post off.

I’ve got a ct4045, 110 hours, making a hissing sound and I have no rear hydraulics. My front hydraulic’s on the loader works fine. Hissing is on the side with the hoses but I’m not seeing fluid coming out. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Sounds like you understand what I’m saying. We had a huge storm last night. I’ll check it out next days I’m off and see how it looks. Nothing better I’ll try this.

Yes. Sorry if I suck at explaining this. Water flows straight downstream. Loggers put a culvert in to cross it. They then broke the culvert. Over the years it backed up and cause a unnatural 90 degree turn into my field. I dug the culvert out so the water can now naturally flow downstream...

Soil is not sandy, just rocky. I’ve got tons of rocks everywhere. I do have some clay in a spot. I’ve got that whole another pile I can fill on the back. So the “V”, you suggest I dig out the middle and repack it in?

Your spot on. I thought about throwing down some concrete mix but I just want to make sure the water will flow down stream before I do this or it would cause bigger problems. It is flowing better after I smashed everything down with the backhoe. In summer time this creek dries completely which...

Should I dig all that dirt back out and order a truck load of clay soil? take that other dirt pile and fill it in the back and plant grass seed?

Sorry for lack of pictures and maybe I’m bad at explaining myself. “Digging it” got it right. The water was forced to turn a “unnatural” 90 degree turn when loggers broke the culvert. It busted. The creek is only 1 to 2 feet deep but the 90 degree turn washed 6 feet deep into the field past...

I’ve got another big pile of dirt. Would it be a good idea to dig out half of what I placed in it and smash/compact it down with the back hoe bucket and then place this on top smashing it down as I go?

How much do I need and how thick? We’re talking 20 feet long by 2 feet tall roughly maybe not even 20’ needed.

Also I took the culvert out altogether. I don’t need it. Loggers threw it in to get across years ago when I didn’t own it and I guess their the ones that collapsed it and started this issue.

Darn. That makes sense. What do I do at this point? Can it settle over time under its own weight? I have another giant pile of dirt ready to go behind this one that would fill another few feet but it has rock in it. I’ve got about 18 hours wrapped up in this project.

I’ve got a huge washout about 6 feet wide and 6 feet deep due to a culvert that was crushed years ago. I managed to use my tractor backhoe to fill it in and dig the culvert out but somehow the water is just leaking through the ground where I placed the dirt and running through into my field...
