I've had more batteries fail that have been left on battery tenders (several brands) than not.

HyPro D30 is no pressure washer, sounds like a nice sprayer pump 9.5 GPM and a maximum pressure of 580 PSI Gas Pressure Washers are up in the 2500-4500 PSI range and beyond https://www.qspray.com/product-category/hypro-d30-pumps-parts

my lower link has the same type adjustment, I'd say the best I can get it 3" per side, maybe 6" side to side sway. I wish it were less, but it isn't.

the Kuboda insurance is evidently pretty darn good. The guy I use who I posted about above got his burned down skid steer replaced for almost nothing, and it was a few years old coming up on the end of his warranty period. He was a big advocate for their insurance. The replacement happened...

glad you're OK, it it's not extremely rare (not common either) for those Kubota skid steers to go up in flames. My forestry mulcher guy had the same happen, and told me of a few others who had the same issue. Like you, his was insured and it was quickly replaced. It's crazy to think it happens...

I sure have, and every video out there contradicts every other one. Some say use the upper, some say use the lower without draft, and the next set talks about draft control and one says use the upper the next says use the lower. It's all a crap shoot, specific to each tractor and implement I...

You'd think so, but I did that when I originally put them on, went the next size up and it was too long, I could not use some of my implements, so I sold that one and went back to stock size. The longer one totally did not work in my situation.

here's mine, useless lol The image above does not use the numbers in the image below.

No draft control on this tractor

I'll concede that, mine only has upper and lower though, no middle option unfortunately. What is the deciding factor on which is the best to use for a specific implement?

I did a lot of searching on that when I got the tractor several years ago, it seemed the upper hole was more common, and nothing in any of my manuals talks about it. What determines which hole to use (that sounds really bad lol) We have several implements, stump grinder, box blade, landscape...

Wife was raking up pine straw for the chicken hut today, so I did not see this happen, nor did she, just the aftermath. We've used this rake for a few years without issue, it is not a new implement for us. The pine straw rake flipped at least 90 degrees, the hydraulic top link was down low and...

Nice set up you have there!

@Bearsixty7 just a cheap 20" main bar and 4" side lights here, same set I use on my tractor, bar on the ROPS for the front, and the 4" set on the back for rear lighting. They work great on both. On the ZT, I have the 4" set at about a 30 degree angle forward. Tons of light, couple years using...

have you tried the valve under the seat. That got me once. 840930

Sure is nice having lights on the ZT!

had the 3rd function installed when I bought my tractor, I asked about LS brand, and my LS dealer said they only use WR Long kits.

recycling centers also have scales, I've weighed mine there for free too.

This is what the inside looks like if you're interested, impeller directly on the motor shaft at the bottom, then a wire straight up to the battery board. There are no components on the board, it only routes voltage from the battery directly to the motor.

I took 4 of my dead ones apart and put 3.5vdc (as low as my variable power supply would go) right to the circuit board, and 3 of the 4 spun right up. I checked all the switches and they all function ~0 ohm-OL. The contact ring at the top and the switch mating surface is marginal at best, as is...

That is a good deal, I'd but 4 for $25 but unfortunately that looks to be a deal only for HF club members.

@xyz123 do you have a link to order those?

had to add helper springs to my '20 Sierra 1500 the back end was so weak, my '03 Ram 1500 was much stronger and less squat with the same load.

My regen saga. LS SAYS A REGEN EVERY 2 HOURS IS NORMAL If you guys with the newer MT2/3 tractors get a resolution, I'd love to hear it.

Nice set up, unfortunately not rated for gasoline

@AaronD81 does it HAVE to be screwed on to the can, or can it sit on top and still function without making a seal?

I'll check Walmart, thanks, didn't know they had them

agreed, can you link me to a Made in USA version?

I have the worst experience with these things. I've probably had 6 or 8 in the last 4 years. I never even have to change the batteries in them before they fail. Is there a more reliable option? I store 20 gallons of diesel and 20 gallons of gasoline all in 5 gallon cans, and I fill my equipment...

was at Wally world today, forgot my phone, so no pic. Old wreck of a pickup driving through the parking lot towing an old wreck of a utility trailer, with an old zero turn in it and the mower was running, poorly, but running!

it's new, when you have some down time, take it in and get it fixed, no sense in dealing with that forever, and if they have to pull the pan, at least you'll get a free oil change and probably filter out if it!

No, not mine

I found the same with the fuel filter for my MT240, LS wanted about $70, NH had one for $45ish, and I went with a Wix for $15 lol

It worked well for a couple decades right? I'd take it to a hydraulic shop, and pay an hours labor and get a pro's opinion on what's wrong before I went randomly putting a band-aid on something that needs stitches or a cast.

@TimberFarm is that $2100 for one tire? Damn!

My only thought is .... Damn!

then I'd probably go with the first one, without the cab... for how I use my tractor.

says you are in NJ, do you plan on doing any snow work? If so, I'd get a cab. I'd sure love a cab, but here in AL, without AC it'd be a death trap 6 months out of the year. On my land, I frequently use a grapple, so getting that along with the 3rd function already installed and not needing to...

my issue with using an online fax service is security. About the only entities that still use fax are government, financial (less so these days finally!) and medical. The 3 things where you actually care about security. Had to fax the gov PII/SPI not too long ago.

Not sure how their model numbers work. My MT240 shows a name of G38RF and the SN begins with G38RF, and shows Type G ... not sure how those work.

My MT240 has about an inch of play. It's probably the same components as yours. Seems tension is kept in the upwards direction, the play is only in the downward direction.

You probably have the same ignition wiring as my LS, worse case, you can pull a switched 12v from the ignition. That's where the dealer jerry rigged my 3rd function valve electronics from. I redid all of that, but used that switched 12v and ran it to a relay (my relay is fused) and then to an...

looks nice, clean, has dual rear remotes and 3rd function, hydrostat, suspension seat, etc. (looks brand new in those pics) I'd ask what dealer he uses (or just call the closest LS dealer) and see if they have a maintenance record on the tractor for major issues/repairs etc. Should be able to...

I'd continue, so if I need to order additional parts, I'd get a jump on that, rather than find it after the 1st part came in, and now I'd have a second/third and cumulative parts delay.

That's me!

if the MLS valve IS NOT the valve under your legs, adjust that one. Mine moved one time and make the 3pt seem locked up. Just adjusting the know fixed it. 840930

That might work well welded on to a landscape rake for storage too!

in 50 more hours I'm switching to this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GHPDTTL

Should have used heavier expanded metal, it's all bent up these days. Still intact, but bent. 850203

All the service points on my LS came with white paint on the tip of them, really helps things stand out against the black when looking for them. I appreciate that little detail. When it wears, I touch up the white.

with the front and rear buckets on the ground and the engine off, just move the hydraulic control levers to relieve the pressure. "If" you have an electronic actuated valve like a grapple, or any others, you'll need to turn the key on one position to energize the electronics, and then click the...

true, I've not come across an actual standard, just marketing.... "Clean Power" or a "Pure Sine Wave" is considered to be power with a THD or less than 6% And like you said, the real goal is <3% THD My previous generator THD spec was 25% the new one is <3% Interesting read here: Generac Help...

@ultrarunner Damn! and at a hospital too!

yeah, you want a pure sine wave inverter, not a modified sine wave. A lot of UPS put out a modified sine wave, that's junk!

These big new inverters are nice. For my new one 11000/9000 I did the 5 hour break in on 2.5 gallons of gas, ran at 4kw for quite a while. With the variable RPM, they are quite fuel efficient, at least it surprised me. I kept wishing for it to run out so I could flush it with ethanol free fuel.

Yes, they do have a fan only setting.

Worked great, thanks

I guess these have crude thermostats and in the heat of the day here, they were cycling off intermittently without the fans. Watched the waveform with a scope while under load running a big hammer drill and the serage grinder pump, no change. Break in done, tested hooked to the house and...

bought a big JD around 2005/2006 for work, I forget the model, but we pulled a 12-15" batwing with it. Even back then, it was made in Mexico, or at least a crapton of the parts were. whatever model this is, I was very surprised Mexico was all over that thing.

I should explain that comment. Yes there are other 10k inverters on the market and they have 50a sockets, but none I came across could actually provide the full rated power through that 50a socket. This new Westinghouse igen11000 is the only one I have found where Customer Service assures me (2...

Good news is that it is running like a champ. I put an oscope on it, nice clean stable power. After about a half hour I put just under 4kw load on it. Says keep it under 1/2 rated load for the first 5 hours. It's an 11000/9000 rated unit. Nice an quiet too. So far I like it. Cheap little load...

yeah, definitely a resistor plug installed. The manual contradicts itself. Specifically lists (and has installed) a resistor spark plug part number, while also saying not to use a resistor plug. I emailed the company, last time it took them several weeks to reply.

nah, it has a carb. I think the "i' is two fold, people think anything with an 'i' is cool, and it's also an inverter generator, and I think that's really what it's for. And it's odd, that it lists the plug as a resistor type. F7RTC with also crosses to other resistor types.

New generator arrived today, Westinghouse iGen11000DFc Inverter Generator, it has a small oil filter screen. The manual makes no mention of this screen at all. I found it poking around. Generator was obviously function checked at the factory, and the filter is dirty. The debris is on the inside...

I was going through this myself. I contacted 3 local fire departments. One had no recommendation, and the other 2 said do what the manufacturer recommends (which is NOT fill in the bed of a truck) so I am still using 5 gal cans on the ground. Sucks.

there is also the issue of safely filling larger gasoline tanks. You are supposed to remove them from the back of the truck/trailer and put them on the ground to fill, then lift back into the truck/trailer while full to transport. I'd really like to go with something like the 15 gal fast-flo...

The heaviest duty <8" retracted length (total combined length) one I see listed only has a 1000lb capacity. Am I missing something? Amazon has some that use an M8 thread listed at 4400lbs, and I think that would be too lightweight. I ordered an M10 version that was listed at 7700lbs, but it was...

Dunno about all that, Dealer pulled mine, soaked it overnight, flushed it with water and reinstalled. No fanfare. Did have to replace the gasket which they didn't expect or have on hand, so that was a couple day delay getting it back. They actually said cleaning them is no big deal.

it's a lot better with the new hardware. Still not 90 and still has a few inches of slop. Sure wish I could find a heavy duty short turnbuckle. The McMaster-Carr link above only had pretty light small stuff.

There I was quietly agreeing with your previous post, and even half way through this one, when you used "I've never seen" ... all good there, then you go and use "Never seen" and you killed it all for me... A wise man once said... You need a helper verb in there :) JK lol

I got one several weeks ago, and we used it a few hours at 90 degrees on mostly light brush, we were not rough on it at all, but our ground is not smooth so it does bounce around a good bit. The bracket that holds it at a 90 and the pins did not fare well, both bent. The dealer drove to Lane...

Yup, Lane Shark now wants a separate return to sump line installed for their hydraulic motors. Just had the install done a couple weeks ago. I think their reasoning was to keep hot hydraulic fluid from flowing directly back through the 3rd function valve.

I seem to be in the minority and have frequent regens, clearly documented in the LS forum. For me, I have a regen with almost every 5gal fill-up, somewhere within those 5 gallons. If I burn through that 5 gallons fast (higher RPM) I have a regen sooner, if I burn through it slower (lower PRM) I...

I'm not seeing the service manual online, but LS should be able to put it on a flash drive for you. They did for me and some others (different model) The OP manual for your tractor mentions the system pressure of 2756PSI on page 7-3...

I was the same, always wanted the convenience of a dump trailer, but didn't really "need" one. Instead I'd rent one about 2 times a year, have to see who had one available, drive to one town to pick it up, drive to another town to fill it up, drive to my town to dump it, then race back to drop...

odd, in my clamshell, I can easily carry (2) 10-12" logs at a time, 3 if they are smaller. I do have to usually stack them to get 3 in there, with a smaller on on top of a pyramid. If a big one is at the top, then yes, the lid won't close down enough to grip the bottom log of 3, but stacked...

8 foot fork extensions for the win! Took everything she had.

Just purchased a Lane Shark 2 weeks ago. If that fits the bill, the smaller LS3 only requires 5gpm. I'm at 8.2 for implements minus whatever restrictions are out to the WR Long 3rd function through the 3/8 hoses just like you have. We used it several hours last weekend, and never saw a slowdown...

I tried the dump into the bucket method, it worked, but there was still a little mess, and it was kind of a pain back and forth with the dump making sure I didn't damage something when the rock backed up in the bucket. Could easily bend the bars that the ramps attach to.

Damn!

It was at a Walmart in Florida! Pretty sure this is what they had in mind lol

Doesn't matter what it is, it's wrong lol

Just need to replace the little carburetor and good to go?

as above, not sure what you're asking, but once it is mowable, a zero turn is your best bet. We have 6 acres, tractor and zero turn, and zero turn is best for mowing once it reaches that point.

looks beefy (y), they don't make them like that anymore!

Bought and picked up a lane shark yesterday, had the C-Flow kit installed. Sure looked good, but it lasted about 10 minutes before the pump apparently let go. It's currently a spendy green paperweight. They'll come pick it up Tuesday, but we had plans for it all this long weekend!

Noticed the dealer only filled my tires half way, so I added more water today. I'm in southern AL, we just use straight water here. Left enough head space to check the pressure without getting water in the chuck/gauge . Bought this adapter for $12, worked great Amazon.com I'm sure you could pump...

that pop up winch is sweet!

I wonder if LS tracks the serial number, now that it is a private sale, will it have a warranty? Hmm!

what is that simple solution?

An RMS meter is an RMS meter these days, just make sure it is a "True RMS" meter. You might have been comparing a True RMS meter to one that wasn't. You are kind of saying your Kioti and my LS can't move dirt as well because they aren't a Kubota. You do need an o'scope or a THD meter which is...

did hurricane cleanup with forks, it worked, but I quickly bought a grapple. If you see yourself staying on that 20 acre property for a while and see moving brush as a reoccurring task, really consider the grapple and of course the additional expense of the 3rd function. Just being able to grab...

Used to use old Simpson meters like that back in the day, when you just needed to see a pulse, not measure it, just see a quick pulse on a radar cal, the analog meter would deflect, and a digital meter wouldn't show anything. Good stuff!

You'd put it on V for voltage, and press the red button on the left to select DC for battery type voltage. If that's all you ever really check, a $5 harbor freight meter would probably be fine. DC 20 is probably all you'd ever need, the probes aren't great but its cheap and will probably be just...

I was a 25yr electronic tech, we used flukes almost exclusively, mainly because they could be calibrated. Long retired now, but when the display in my Fluke 87 started crapping out, they gave me a quote of almost $300 to replace the display. It now sits in a drawer and has been replaced by this...

@Andre1196 Thanks for that. They have replaced both the EGR Valve and the ECU on mine (also all 3 injectors, the DPF sensor, and cleaned the DPF) unfortunately it has not made a difference on my tractor. Hope yours is fixed.

The problem is that LS the company, not the dealer, says if a regen happens more than 2 hours from the last, that is an expected behavior. Call when it happens in less than 2 hours. That is not a correct all encompassing statement, but regardless, at one point my dealer said the same thing, so...

Even more unnecessary, it would also depend where on earth it was weighed. While the mass would remain the same, the weight would vary a bit because of the fluctuations in Earth's gravity. The pull of gravity diminishes at high altitude on mountain peaks and due to the rotation of the earth...

I had never in my life heard that unit of measure before, interesting! The chain (abbreviated ch) is a unit of length equal to 66 feet (22 yards), used in both the US customary and Imperial unit systems. It is subdivided into 100 links. There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one...

that's real nice!

I had expanded metal added to my bush guard and a clevis that I can put a shackle on to run chain through for transport. Guess you could weld a grab hook there since you take your bucket off.

just don't watch it past the warranty period, it was a $4300 repair. As far as long term damage, I have no idea, I just know I was embarrassed whenever I started my tractor. And with your other post, about hydro filters and fluids.... the repair comes with new filters and fluid, so at ~300...

if you have a HST, you want to replace both. The manual has pages for both HST and Mechanical, make sure you are looking at the HST one. If you put a small shop vac on the hydraulic fill port, you won't lose much fluid when you pull the big filter, really just what's in the filter will come...

here is the thread Mt 240he hydro cavitation? If your squeal is quick, you're probably fine, if it is long like mine in the video in post 4 of that thread, you'll need some warranty work.

Yes it is common with at least the MT240, if it lasts just a few seconds, that should be fine, if it's like 10 seconds, it might require splitting the tractor for a new HST pump like mine and some others. I'll go find the thread about it and be back to post a link.

I have an MT240 with a regen issue, as part of the trouble shooting, they replaced my ECU. Now the dash resets once in a while. It never did that with the old ECU and my battery is at 12.7vcd. I'll see if I can find the CA/CCA info on the battery and put a tester on it tomorrow.

Sounds great, congrats!

Yeah, we had some recent torrential rain, was coming down at about 6 inches an hour for a short time. That rush did some damage to our crushed concrete driveway, so we're gonna fix the washed out base with slag, then probably top it with either more crushed concrete, or maybe a smaller slag...

That would be great. It's Tuesday and the night all the volunteer fire departments meet up. I'd going to head to the closest one and ask the same question regarding filling in the truck. Will post back what I hear.

needed to refuel, gas went up 30 cents overnight! Dunno if it's the switch to summer gas, the middle east, or both. Had to drive a bit, but Sam's Club still had yesterdays prices, $3.09 for 87, and $3.51 for diesel.

yeah, a wheelbarrow and a tractor are both tools, use the tool that makes the specific job easier. I'm not lugging a wheelbarrow across the yard and handling the load more often if the tractor fits.

https://vpracingfuels.com/tech-talk-insider-articles/gl4-vs-gl5-gear-oil/ Thinking is that tractors rarely use yellow metals, so GL5 should be both just fine, and better than GL4 in that application. Like @Dman1981 I also use a synthetic GL5 in my front axle.

I use those now, they don't seem to last me long though. I use them for both diesel and gasoline, and I may get 6-8 months out of them, maybe 50 gallons, 5 gal at a time if I'm lucky. They seem to leak fuel between the top and bottom, and then die rapidly after that. Probably had 6 in 3 years...

Yup, my sister had one, and my neighbor was killed by one.

both the rubber on the end and the strap are good ideas!

The stump bucket I bought was shipped in a crate made of angle iron. I cut off a couple of the legs and made some FFL Cylinder Safety Stops. Cleaned up, primed, painted and added some rubber where it meets the piston rod. I'd use zip ties to hold them in place when in use.

Watched a cool motor restoration video the other day, rather than a zerk for grease, they used a bit of material and an oil fitting, it was pretty neat. It's at the 16:50 mark

Of course not, I don't think the person asking about running a hot tub was referring to a 28vdc generator.

I know I've ran my hot tub heater and recirc pump on my big generator, not sure if I've ran the jet pump or not. I'm sure it would work with the heater off.

Agreed, I'd like a small load bank, but have not seen those in consumer/homeowner size. I was contemplating the 1.5kw immersion heaters, but they'd be single use. Instead, I recently bought 1.5kw small heaters. These are only $15 and I can use them in an emergency if need be to heat a small...

umm... Done..... Go change your oil! lol

you lost me at "alot", "your" and "their" and you've used alot a lot :ROFLMAO:

Stens customer service is crap! I use their belts, I got 2 mower belts at different times that I thought might be counterfeit. I emailed them from their website, included details and pictures each time. Never heard back from them. And this is how much I like their belts!

did the 500hr front axle oil change, used the bucket to lift the front and tilt the axle, also lubed the front axle holder and steering cylinder pin while it was up. I ran the tractor for a bit before I drained it, the discoloration you see is all bubbles. The oil looked great, once the bubbles...

For me with just a 2 series, I found the frame size I wanted and chose the highest HP in that size. I think there were only 3 HP options to choose from. My previous tractor was 30hp and I knew I could use more, so 40 was the logical choice for me. That's a fairly big difference at that level...

That's an easy fix for trailer places, or friends. Just have D rings welded on, I did prior to driving it off the lot, didn't even cost anything extra.

I've been happy with my Homestead grapple for the last 3 years. Hardox 450 and ~325# 850152

Dunk!

as @Eagle1 said, look at your pedals, mine have limit bars welded to them, and the reverse limit is physically welded not to travel as far. Edit: The 2 bars where my fingers are strike the stops below them. Those bars are at different heights, and control how far the pedals move, the reverse...

enjoy!

So is whatever device you used to post that message, along with all the local and remote networking equipment along the way to and from the internet, and that includes the main power grid transformers required to charge your device and power all the networking equipment. Sucks, but no way around...

probably not in stock, but in the US, should be able to get it within 2 weeks. If you tractor isn't in stock and is being assembled and delivered, they can probably have it done by the time you get it. I had them install that, and weld on some chain and clevis hooks before it was delivered to...

Went and took a few specific pics. This is an LS part, as far as I know the different tractor manufacturer bucket holes aren't universal. If they were, Piranha, EA, etc, wouldn't need to ask for precise measurements. This LS part is also reversible, with a new cutting edge on the back side, so...

I edited and added a pic to the previous post. Yes, bolts were included.

yes, 66" bucket, yes factory holes In 2020, the PN was 40381448 and the cost was $246 it's mounted in this pic, been on since day 1.

would this work for you? https://www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/bucket-and-accessories/stump-buckets/economy-series-stump-bucket/124126.html

I have the factory bolt on cutting edge on mine, I like it. Congrats.

Yup! I have fully acclimated to the south now from many years in NH, NY and AK. When it's in the 40s and breezy now, I don't want to be outside on a tractor. It took about 12 years to get to that point, neighbors thought I was crazy, now I get it lol

lolol my ??ears?? eyes lol

The facts don't support the higher (measured) torque argument, all brands marketing lies about it, but I fully understand the battery issue, I'm tied into a lesser brand myself. Started 25+ years ago when that's what I could afford and just stuck with it. Dewalt is definitely the upper tier...

DeWalt torque wrenches are known to be bucking broncos, if it's a real issue, you might want to invest in a smoother brand, that means pretty much any other brand lol DeWalt wrenches are kinda like a Harley, more vibration and sound with no gain in output https://www.youtube.com/@TorqueTestChannel

I don't have any EA products, but I was very intrigued by their box blade scarifier adjustment design. I hate the knuckle busting pins that I currently have. The EA design seemed good in theory, I'm hoping others pick up on that design.

Diamond C has them between 16 and 30 foot, goosenecks and all, up to 24k#, you never said what you were after ... Oh well.

Your tractor should loader have quick connects on it (judging by old google images pics), and that's your best option, get a matching quick connect, you don't want to open and screw anything into your hydraulic port. Disconnect a quick connect to your loader (just need 1) replace it with the...

@markedenfield I had similar questions. Here is what I did https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/measure-hydraulic-pressure-at-any-fitting.471582/ Was pretty simple really,the cost was $38 from amazon, I have 1/2 fittings, you might have a different size. Parts...
