    Hydraulic top link questions

    Thanks guys. There isn't a standard length hose for the top link?

    Be prepared to wait a LOOOOONG time. I've been waiting over 16 weeks for my Wicked 55 root grapple, and they still can not give me an estimated ship date.

    Hydraulic top link questions

    I’m going to try to piece together a poor mans hydraulic top link. I have the JD 3rd scab kit installed on my 2013 3520, so it has the updated hydraulics. I found this cylinder, which I think should work https://www.agrisupply.com/top-link-cylinder-cat-1-20-to-28-in/p/90599/ Anybody have any...

    Best grapple for an L48?

    15 weeks and EA still can’t give me an estimated ship date for my grapple. I don’t feel like “family” @EverthingAttachments

    Attaching EA Grapple

    Wow, thanks for the brain dump, and thanks for putting it all in layman's terms. I'm learning. So, is it easy to change a coupler?

    I’ll call them. I hope they know what I’m talking about, because I sure don’t. [emoji1]

    Attaching EA Grapple

    I’ve ordered an Everything Attachments 55 Wicked Root Grapple. I have a John Deere 3520 tractor and am installing the Deere branded 3rd SCV and hose kit to run it up to the bucket for the grapple. I see on the EA website their standard coupler is 1/2”. I think the JD couplers are 1/4”? Not real...

    Getting back in the game

    Hi folks. I had a JD 4210 with an MX5 cutter, and a 5 ft box blade years ago. Divorce caused the sale of that fine machine, and I downsized to a 2305 a bout 6 years ago. Recently I acquired 37 additional acres for a total of 48 mostly wooded, with about 10 acres of pipeline that I want to...

    4310 Parking brake

    Does anyone know if the parking brake is electronically controlled? I 've had thios 4310 now for a couple of months. It has been great, but since day one it has had an issue with the parking brake. When I set the brake, the light goes on, but it doesn't seem to hold. On an incline with the...

    Controlling the depth of 3pth

    I was boxblading my drive with my 4310 and 2060BB last weekend for the first time. When using the BB on the 3pth, I found it hard (read impossible) to return the BB to the exact same position after lifting it to turn around or reposition. I dropped the blade to the desired position, then I...

    How dusty is too dusty?

    I was mowing this past weekend, well, mowing is a relative term I guess. Anyway, I was using my rotary cutter to clear some areas around a pond on my property. Well, it hasn't rained in about a week or so, and in Texas that means dust. The cutter kicked up a ton of dust, I mean like a thick...

    430 loader problem

    Ok, I got my 4310 w430 loader, and the bucket leaks down rather fast. I have about 13 hours (2 weekends) on this thing, and have been quite impressed so far. I would wait until the 50 hour service to take it back, but it leaks down fast. Real fast. Even empty, dragging a box blade, I have to...

    Checking Wheel torque

    I have used my new 4310 for about 5 hours now. I have heard and read that I should check the torque on the wheel hardware, or the holes could become egg-shaped. How do you do this? Do you do this with the tractor on the ground, or jacked up? I know I can use the loader to lift the front...
