Just ordered a fire extinguisher mount and triangles. https://zips.com/parts-search?searchQuery=qr51 https://www.americantrucks.com/rough-country-silverado3500-fire-extinguisher-mount-99013.html

Seems like some of the semi drivers around here graduated from cab school in NYC and they put them right in a semi truck. Can't communicate on deliveries and they have a heck of a time turning their trailers around. Scary they are on the road. There is one fellow that drives semi for Fed Ex...

Wonder if there are any regulations on these Electric amazon vans? Those drivers are not very bright.

So another question is this. Do you need a medical card or any of the above mentioned items when a U haul is rented? Seems U haul rents to anyone. Do U haul have to stop at weigh stations? I have a long time ago and was asked what I was hauling and then waived through. How about if I went to...

On another note, I know the dealership is all about the sale but one would think they would at least inform us of these items before we drove the truck off the lot. Truck has been back for service as well. There is no excuse to not be aware of the laws or regulations when your market is selling...

Thank you all for your replies. Working on the medical card now. I was talking with my friend in Central NY last weekend that does trucking. He said that he sees 3/4 ton trucks pulling landscape trailers with lawn equipment getting pulled over all the time. Tough to run a business these days...

It is registered with the Country Club where I work. Business. COMB vertical on the left side of the plate.

The plate on the truck says "COMB" vertical on the left side. The truck was purchased new last year. Does it need a yearly safety inspection? When I lived in NY all vehicles had safety inspections. In CT I have never had a safety inspection just emissions. Do certain vehicles need safety...

Thanks for the replies, I looked up the GVWR for the 7X14 landscape trailer and it is 2995. One other trailer that I forgot about that we have that is primarily an onsite trailer but does see a rare over the road use is our PJ double axle dump trailer. GVWR is 14000 lbs. That puts it right at...

What would this do? I see this on one ton trucks on the highway. Some have DOT numbers on them though.

Do we need a registration number on a one-ton truck to cross the border without a trailer? If we do not go out of state with the truck, do we need a DOT registration number? Do we need it in CT to pull a trailer?

Greetings, We have a 3500 GMC one-ton single rear axle with a metal dump box at work. The truck GVWR is 11,100lbs. This is mainly a shop run around truck but do on a rare occasion pull a trailer or travel out of the state of CT pulling a trailer to pick up or drop off equipment or supplies that...

Come to find out they actually ran it for about an hour like this. For clarity its a B&S vanguard 18hp v twin. It ran but not very well. "We just thought it was cold so left the choke on". Next person comes and says, "This isn't running right". Fuel filter had a red tint. Dead give away. I...

No smog stuff on it. 76. I don't think it is original to the truck though.

I would guess about 1 gallon of diesel was added to 6 gallons or so of gas to fill the 7.5 gallon tank Interesting, I was considering adding it to my bulk tank of 300 gallons of gas. However, there are too may vehicles that use it including 2 cycle that could be affected. We don't have any old...

Greetings, Somone at my work accidently topped off one of the small engines with diesel. I would guess that about 1 gallon of diesel was added to the 7.5 gallon tank. The Diesel gas mixture was removed and the plugs and fuel filter was changed. Fresh fuel was added and the engine runs fine now...

Thanks for the replies I like the idea of the wicked toothbar. Although it seems not hard to remove having a designated bucket for it might be easier. Definitely an option. I pulled a few out with my forks but I did not want to bend them. It's the worst when you go to lift pallet and one fork...

Greetings, Looking for any recommendations on a stump bucket. Tractors are Kubota LX2610 and Yanmar LX490. I want something strong but do not want to overload the tractor or damage the loader. Here is what I plan on doing, I am starting to reclaim some fields that have about 20-25 years growth...

Thanks for the reply. Everything attachments looks like good stuff. I ended up ordering from a fellow NY veteran owned company. Homestead Implements made in Jamestown NY. Chris was great to work with and even gives a military discount. Free drop shipping to the farm “contactless delivery”. Win...

Greetings, Looking for a recommendation for a box scraper for my Kubota lx2610 tractor with cab. the box scraper will be used to fix the washouts and regrade the stone in a long gravel driveway from damage over the winter. The current stone is mostly #2 grade. I may use some bigger grade for...

Anyone notice that Napa Gold oil filter 1334 oil filter has changed recently? Maybe a new supplier? I have not cut open a new style filter yet. For starters the box is sealed different. The box states "contents made in South Korea." The "old style" Napa gold states "Made in USA". The new filter...

I use Schaeffer labs and Schaeffer oil in the fleet at the golf course. Engines are expensive and it is worth it to me to monitor the health of them. I would like to monitor hydro fluid next. Most machines I see extended drains on. Small air cooled engines that are not running high RPM most of...

I found an unopened hydraulic pail at my shop on a top shelf sealed. The prior mechanic was here 15 years and I doubt he could climb that high. Sealed 5 gallon container. Was unheated portion of shop until recently. So what is thoughts on this one?

I have the same gator HPX. I had a similar problem a few years back. I traced it down to leaking intake manifold gasket. Would suck air sometimes creating a stumble upon acceleration (this was around 1800 hrs). Change fuel filter often as well. Also I had to change the needle valves from wear at...

I have one of these for cleaning out my air filters. Multiple small holes at the end. Works pretty well...

I have the element fire extinguishers in my truck and my wife's car. Never actually tried them but they are small and can fit between the drivers door and seat. Easy access. The past few years around the holidays they offer a discount code. https://elementfire.com/

So an e mail to the dealer to update them on the issue. On the reply the dealer still states that there was "water in the fuel filter and then it got into the injection system" even after telling them multiple times that there was no trace with water detecting paste. They continued to tell me...

So just an update here. Speaking with the dealer they said that it could be crank sensor related and to unplug the crank sensor while the CEL light is on to see if the tractor will rev up past the limp mode. This was for a diagnose test only and not to be run without it connected. I did not do...

I was asked by my Kioti dealer what dash I had. Apparently from my understanding of the conversation some have this now?. Mine does not.

Yes my dash has a warning lamp for water in fuel. My dash looks different than above. No warning light for water in fuel was ever on or any other lights on during this process except the CEL. No water found in fuel filter or tank with water detecting paste.

Thanks for the replies. Yes we have been in contact with the dealer back and forth before posting here and so far they have been good. They are about 1 hour away. Yes it is under warranty. Hopefully they can come down with a scan tool / laptop, otherwise there is a huge sticker on it that...

Greetings, Check engine light came on today with the Kioti RX6620. Tractor has 140 hrs on it and purchased this past spring. The tractor was running fine then started to spit and sputter and then the light came on. All maintenance has been performed so far according to the dealer handout...

Thanks for the input. I will monitor this going forward. I assume the emissions requirements are why some tractor trailer have stickers that say "do not idle." Also I figure generally speaking a hydro tractor runs at higher RPM than a Powershuttle so maybe that is contributing to the regen cycle...

Curious on what others might be seeing on the Regen light on their Kiotis. I have a RX6620 for use at my work. It has 122 hrs on it now. It is used around the shop and also running implements. Here Is my Regen history. 41 hrs, pushed bypass once. 83 light on REGEN performed 104 light on REGEN...

Thanks for the replies. I found a local supplier Brenntag lubricants in East Hartford CT which sells Mobil products. Setting an account up through my work now. The best part is that the Mobil 424 fluid is at $76 for a 5 gallon pail and the Napa 85-405 is now $96 for a 5 gallon pail up from $64...

Manual states for RX6620 DAEDONG UTF55 EXXON Mobilfluid 424 BP: Tractran UTH EXXONmobil Hydraulic560 Shell: Donax TD Upon my research BEFORE asking I have seen Valvoline VV813 also can work and NAPA 85-405 Universal trans/ Hydro ( I believe this is 10w-30 rated). I just want to make sure this...

Thanks for the replies. Interesting the ideas about chaining the hitch down on the trailer as well. Never thought about that and have used the setup a few years without issue. Thanks for the idea. @LouNY I like your setup. Did you make the hitch or buy it?

Purchased a Kioti RX6620 at my work this year. The selling dealer also sells Mahindra tractors. The dealer is about 1 hour away from me. Trying to stick with factory fluids for warranty periods. When I ordered hydraulic fluid they gave me a 5 gallon pail of Mahindra Universal Hydraulic fluid. I...

Looking to add a safety chain to my PJ dump trailer tractor combo. I have the trailer hooked to the flex point #FPHS 3 point hitch which makes it easy to hook up and drop the trailer easy from the cab. I only use this setup on my property. I am looking for ideas on how a safety chain could be...

OK here is the sample on the Kioti 4HT4 DAE Dong engine in out RX6620 at 56 hrs. "Copper high indicating possible bearing or thrust wear. Copper may also be from cooler. Resample at normal interval. High wear and contamination levels are common during break in."

One thing you could try is a who your Toro golf distributor is in your area as they should have more connections to available stock. I believe that most attachments can be interchangeable between ventrac and steiner. Double check before purchasing. From my experience with my Toro golf...

What engine is in the RTV500? I have done some oil sampling on my J-D gators with Kawasaki FJ400D at 100hr recommended intervals. Each sample shows no signs of wear but traces of gas and moisture. Going to lower the intervals and see. Gas in oil could be sticking needle valve or float.

I agree with you and thank you for your reply. I have started doing oil sampling on all of my fleet. I do not get brand new pieces very often. I was thinking that probably nobody did a break in sample so that is why I was curious what I could find on the first one. I already have the sample...

Thanks for the replies. Actually looking to see if anyone knows what oil comes in the RX6620 from the factory for my first oil analysis. Like I said I called the dealer and they didn't know specifics.

Greetings, Curious if anyone knows what brand and weight a RX6620 would be shipped with from the factory? The reason I am asking is because I am doing the first oil change recommended t 50 hrs and perform oil sampling on all my equipment. Some data for them would be helpful for analysis. I...

Greetings, Looking to get a manure bucket in the future for my father in laws farm. Currently he has a Yanmar lx490 tractor with skid steer coupler. His barn yard is fairly large for winter cow feeding and has about 60 head. The manure and hay mixture gets a good few layers on it before it is...

Greetings, Curious what you all use for a farm or business fuel storage tank. We may be looking to add one to my in laws farm along with an electric pump. Currently we use 5 Gallon cans but for simplicity sake of budgeting and buying in bulk looking into a storage tank. One thing I do want to...

Greetings, Looking at the possibility of upgrading my snow blower. I have an old MTD Tecumseh 26" powered blower that has done its time. I have a very steep driveway which I just had repaved over the summer that was very $$$. I used to use chains on my old Tecumseh blower on the old driveway...

Greetings, My father in law is looking for a new tractor for his farm 160 acres in upstate NY. He currently has a small Yanmar LX590 ( I believe) which is too small for the task of lifting large round bales everyday and traveling to the fields. He will be keeping this tractor as a backup and...

So today before the Thanksgiving break a task that was assigned to some workers on staff was to treat the diesel tractors (Kioti) chipper (4B Cummins) Toro mowers (Kubota) and J-D (Yanmar) with diesel fuel conditioner for the winter. Also assigned was to treat the fuel tank which was just filled...

Greetings, Curious if any of you have hooked up a heater for the floor of a tractor cab. The tractor does have heat but there are no vents on the floor so operating for the day in sub zero weather your feet get cold. I was considering something simple that can be removed and plugged into the...

Greetings, Just wanted to report some long term test results on 3 Kioti tractors that we operate at the golf course. I have maintained these the last three years, any prior results were from the previous mechanic so I have really no knowledge how or why the items failed. All routine service was...

Greetings, Lane Shark SSQA brush cutter attachments. Who has one or has used one? Any feedback on it would be helpful. Looking at one for my 60HP cabbed tractor at work. LANE SHARK PRODUCTS – Lane Shark USA Thank you Sean

Greetings, So trying to learn so be patient. Most of the tractors I have used did not have quick attach buckets until recently. I was at an auction recently and there was a whole bunch of quick attachments for tractors. Most buckets and forks made by Kivel and the grapples were titan (Cheap...

Greetings, I switched over to Schaffer 10w-30 722 Synshield last winter on the pre tier 4 Kubota diesel motors at my shop. The samples that I have sent out have all come back positive. I ordered a replacement 55 gal drum from my rep and received a 711 Synshield 10w-30. I looked on the website...

Thanks for the replies, I double checked my measurements with a digital caliper and the wire diameter is still .250. I just looked at the Spring store and put in my dimensions but did not find anything for that size. I will try calling them and the other number listed a little later today.

Greetings, I am looking for a large extension spring that is discontinued for my Hy-Roller Woodchuck WC-17 chipper. The spring dimensions are as follows and do not have to be exact but need to be close: Extension spring 23 1/2 long from hook end to hook end 19" long from coil end to coil end...

Greetings, After trying to convince my father for years, who is 80 now, that he could use a smaller tractor with a bucket on it around his 150 acre farm he went to Kubota and purchased a new LX2610 with a cab and front end loader. So I wanted to ask you all what options are a "must have" or...

Just an update here. I bought this leather stitching kit from Amazon which came with a nice curved needle for the repair. This kit worked great for this repair at only $13. I topped the stitching off with a little VLP glue. Not pretty but will do the job. Amazon.com: Paxcoo 31 Pcs Leather Hand...

Greetings, I have a vinyl seat that has a tear in it about 3 inches in length. The seat has started to separate in this area as well so to fix it it will have to be "stitched" back together. Has anyone done this with success by hand? I was going to use this seat on a piece of equipment that...

Greetings, I was looking for recommendations on how to clean the rust from my fuel tank. This particular tank is on a Toro gas 5500 sprayer manufactured in 1998 with a 4cyl ford engine. I have recently had problems with rust clogging the fuel line and filter. The tank has never been removed and...

Greetings, Hopefully someone can help me out here. I have a Kioti RX6010C. Reading in the manual it states "The rear PTO rotates at 540rpm when the engine speed is approx. 2,444". This tractor has been used to operate a SR60 deep tine aeration machine for a few years and there always seems to...

Greetings, Looking to get some info on repairing my PTO shaft for my Agrimetal BW 360 tractor blower. The universals are in good shape but the internals where it slides are oblong and have been welded before and they have multiple cracks now. The inners have a roll pin which looks like if that...

Greetings, I am going to look at a J-D 5325 tomorrow and hope you could all give me a little insight on what to look for. Are there any things that fail and what are the usual checkpoints for this particular machine. This is what I know about the tractor, It is used on a high end golf course...

Greetings, I have a Kioti RX6010 model #4B243TLWM serial #MK1400xxx. This tractor has a KL601 loader on it. It has approx. 2100 hours on it right now. I am starting to wonder if the clutch internally is starting to get worn. Here is what is happening. For a few hundred hours now it seems as the...

Greetings I would like some input on what you all may feel would be the best replacement battery for my 1982 Kubota L305DT. Currently the battery I have is 5+ years old and it does not seem to fill out the tray as it should(looks small). It is a tractor battery that I purchased shortly after...

I just wanted to up date this thread. Kioti definitely changed this part along the way. Here is a couple pictures. The picture with studs shows the new stud on the top next to the old stud on the bottom. There is actually a slight difference in measurement between the two as measured with my...

Hello all, I have a Kioti RX6010 with a cab that has approx 1800 hrs. We use this machine on the golf course where I work. It is running Titan rear turf tire size 44x18-20. The rear tires are not filled with any ballast just air. After mowing on a very hot day this summer it was parked and the...
