By way of following up.... I bought a KX71-3 without a cab. I am constantly on and off the machine, so it didn't make sense to have a cab with or without A/C. I think not having a cab will suit my purposes better. Also, the horsepower on this machine is not large, so I'd just as soon use all of...

Has anyone on this forum had experience with an adapter that allows the use of skid steer implements on a KX71-3 mini excavator or similar ?

Thanks. That's sound advice. I've found, however, that if I'm running my SVL75 track steer with an open door, the interior gets awfully dirty. So I think I'll opt for either a cab with A/C, or no cab at all. Thanks again.

I've used many flails over the years. Seppi, Rears, TriMax, Befco, Alamo and a few that I've probably forgotten. I prefer the Befco for several reasons. The housing is a little taller than some which means that there is more room for tall grass to stand up and be cut. Flails give their best cut...

I am looking at a very nice 2019 Kubota Kx71-3ss with a cab. I was surprised to find that it was built without air conditioning. On a tractor, I wouldn't even consider that, but maybe on an excavator it is more manageable. I probably wouldn't be spending an entire day in the cab, like with a...

Thanks. Most Holmes winches are driven by a chain pto on the tow truck. The electric ones like mine are scarce. The hydraulic models are extremely rare. The nice thing about the electric is being able to control it from outside of the cab. I've ordered an original manual reprint. It should be...

I'm putting an electric winch on the front of my SVL75-2. It's a Holmes (Ramsey) winch from a tow truck. My question is whether there is an easy way to get the 12V power up front, other than just hooking into the battery terminals and running heavy gauge wire.

I've done touch up work on my 1980's tractors with spray cans and with a small detail brush. I have yet to find a John Deere green that stays green and doesn't turn blue. The only paint available from the Deere dealer was for spray guns, and was too thin to brush on small spots. Does anyone have...

I have been trying a Befco 6' finish mower on lawn grass. It leaves behind clumps of grass. I was told that a side discharge won't do this. Ironic, since I bought the rear discharge because I thought the side discharge would leave windrows. Is it possible to get a good cut and a clean lawn with...

My SVL75-2 track steer has been sitting unused indoors for a couple months in an unheated building . It started up just fine yesterday, but gave an error code 008, which the manual says has to do with the no reading from the water in fuel sensor. Seems like the problem has something to do with...

I have a question that someone my be able to help with. I'm using a 7 foot boom on my loader and I noticed that with an extra heavy weight, the loader can lift, but not curl. In fact, if the loader is curled and I make the lift, the loader will "uncurl" until it stops at its mechanical limit. I...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram they could share? I'm wondering which fuse covers the 14 pin connector. I have no power at the 4 prong connector on the left rear side that the 14 pin harness connects to. Thanks.

Figured it out...

I just bought a used SB1107 Frontier double acting sickle mower made by Gaspardo. Unlike my other Gaspardo mower, this one has knife guards that are bolted on rather than riveted. A nice feature that saves time if a knife guard needs to be replaced, as the knife guard bar needn't be removed...
