I’m going to be welding up 1/4” plate in the room of our house. House is under construction and bare cement floors. My question is, what is the best thing to use against the walls between the 1/4” plate and wood stud walls for one prevention of fire welding on the plate against the studs, two...

Welding mild steel to rail road track. Asked a friend and he told me just turn up the amps some and weld it. I know the rail track is a high carbon but he said I shouldn’t have a problem without a pre heat. I was using 5/32 6011 to hopefully run just single passes and unless it’s structural I...

I got these last year on a trade, a friend wanted my lighter set. Unfortunately I caught a stump with them behind my tractor doing fire breaks and ripped a gang hanger, not cool. Since they were down for repair I致e decided to completely over haul them and make some upgrades to some areas I...

Hey guys, I asked awhile back for some ideas on our pole barn build to start our barn project. We went with a 40x60 with metal trusses and 8x8 CCA treated post. We plan to add a lean to on each side next year thinking 18 foot but have a little time to decide on that one, one for horse stalls...

Looking to start a material list and building a 30x60 pole barn. I値l be doing most by myself since most of my friends are like me with family and work with very little free time to sacrifice multiple days helping. This leads me to this question, what would you use for ease of install, cost...

Knowing we will be putting up a fair amount of fence the next few years figured it was time to buy my own PHD so I did not have to borrow my buddies anymore. I致e been reading and researching 3 pt PHD痴 for a few weeks and settled between Countyline from TSC (made by Speeco) or EAｴs 6900...

My dealer told me New Holland did get one to the Expo so I managed to skip away from work for the day to check it out. They did not have any Spec sheets with the tractor, he said they got lucky just to get it in for display. Tractor looks like a Powerstar 75 clone until you jump in the cab...

We are getting our land closer to being ready to move onto and build. I want a big Shop/Barn to store our LQ horse trailer with my truck left hooked up, tractor, ranger, and other things needing stored out of the elements. I willl have a lean to built off each side for additional shelter and...

Needed a smaller but heavy duty set than my 9' Taylor ways to fit between my planted pines on 10' centers. I called a buddy up to borrow his to get in there and he said a guy he knows had a 6' set he wanted to trade for a 5' light duty set. I thought perfect! I had a 5' light duty set that I...

We've been discussing this on another thread and I figured this deserved it's own thread. CNH just released a new WM 55, 65, & 75 model with cab, 12x12 shuttle, and beefed up the hydraulic's. :drool: :drool: :drool: I think they hit a home run on this one from the specs. Here is a link to it...

Hey guys, not many Workmaster reviews on here so figured I would share one of mine after owning it a year now. Tractor now has 144.4 hours to date & so far I'm very happy with my purchase. After buying our new 48.5 acre piece of property we needed something bigger to use. So we started...

I decided to build me a land leveler/land plane grader out of some scrap steel. Still new to welding & self taught along with some great help on here learning. Anyhow I know talking is boring so here are the pictures :) My welding is still a work in progress but I can seem to get two pieces of...

Pretty much have my plan together in my head & going to pick up supplies tomorrow. Will be using mostly metal out of a friend's recycling yard & some new things I'll be purchasing. I'm sure it won't be as nice as some you can purchase, but for the diy that wants something just serviceable I...

I built my own! Needed a front receiver hitch on my Polaris Ranger for a harness I'm building to run my dogs (next project). I looked at the hitches for sale, and all of them I found had mixed reviews. Biggest complaint was them bending, not good after you pay $100+ one. Wasn't the biggest...

Is yours like mine & exposed underneath the tractor? This has aggravated me since I bought it, dealer said it's how the kit comes for the Workmaster and I'm just curious if anyone else is any different. You can see it exposed in the picture underneath the tractor just in front of the rear...

And brings it back with your ballast barrel broke :thumbdown: It has sat there in it's little spot for a few months now, finally got time to fix it up & this time it's done right! Didn't have a welder when I made it, boy they open up a whole new level of what you can do with metal. Need to...

Looking to upgrade to a Heavy Duty blade for my 60 hp NH Workmaster. Tractor is 4wd with a front loader and rear ballasted weighing around 8500-9000 lbs. What I want, mechanical offset, tilt, & swivel. So I've looked at the Dirt Dog 70 series blades in a 8' wide blade. From my...

I have a Everlast 200st with Tig/Stick function. Granted I think it has a very generic Tig function but it's welding aluminum is not something I would do often at all. So my question. Should I just get a Tig torch and use what I have or invest in a mig welder? Seems whichever way I go I need...

Bought a 7' Bushwacker 8410 second hand not long ago. Mower had some bumps and bruises but everything was in excellent mechanical condition other than I need a new stump jumper pan. For what I got it for, the condition it was in, and these run new I figured I would by it, go over well, and...

I'll be buying or building a new box blade soon. I have a 60hp 4wd tractor that weighs roughly 8k-8.5k lbs with loader attached. I'm going with a stout design and need to know to go with a 7' or 8' blade. Tractor is 6' wide and my uses will be cutting swales, ditches, grading the drive...

Considering building my own box blade for my tractor. I've been looking into the idea and going to price materials that I don't have on hand to see what the difference would be. I can get some of the metal & scrape blade from my friends recycling business to help cut cost a good bit and for...

Hey guys, been out awhile learning how to be a daddy. I have to say, it's been pretty awesome :). But I haven't touched the welder in awhile and some of you know I'm pretty dang new to this stuff. Anyhow, I made an oops using my light duty scrap blade behind my bigger tractor doing something...

Hey guys, I've put it off long as I can and it's about time to replace my mower. Thought hard about a new zero turn, but I'm leaning heavy towards buying a finishing mower for my Kubota L3000 and turn it into the lawn machine. Since purchasing our bigger tractor I don't use it near as much and...

Decided to build a bumper to attach to the frame with a hitch after having to be pulled out not long ago and the only place I trusted hooking to was the front frame where you hang weights. I was hooked to a trailer, so could only hook to the front. Why I'm at it I plan to beef up the brush...

Went to pick up some steel from a scrap yard for a cheap project and found two big steel post. So it got me to thinking about putting up a gate on a piece of our property. He had a large stack of the rectangular tubing that's used for shelf stands in Warehouse's and figured I could use this to...

Opinions on any in specific? Are they manageable to wear in 70-80* weather? I'm looking to buy one.

Going to beef up my brush guard and bolt on some 3x6" tubing to my front factory frame to weld the D Rings onto. The frame bracket has three factory installed bolt holes and nuts so I want to keep this remove able just incase. I need something on the front incase I need to be pulled out. The...

Broke down and bought a stick welder about 6 weeks ago mostly for farm repairs, but thought it would be nice to add or build some of my own stuff around here also. Never welded in my life but been getting some good advice over in the welding section and working on it pretty hard last month & a...

I'm looking to get set up with a stick welder for all the small project's, mostly broke or cracked equipment on the farm that keeps coming up. It gets old to keep taking stuff off to be done when I should have been doing this all along. I'm not looking to jump into anything major just odd and...

On my Workmaster 60 when pressing just one brake pedal left/right making tight turns it will clatter in the rear. What would be the cause?

It's always nice to know what engines we are running in any vehicle or equipment. The Workmaster having a FPT Agriculture engine drew me to it over some others when searching for a tractor to purchase, but I'll be honest the smaller displacement 2.2l had me somewhat concerned about the low rpm...

Have a friend with a mill & some big pine logs damaged by a storm. The pine logs were blown over at the root so no damage to the tree for lumber. I'm going to use this to make a wooden fence at the entrance of the property cutting 1x8's for the boards and buy treated post from a lumber store...

Installing work lights on my Workmaster 60. I found a plug for it but went to three car parts stores and they said they don't have anything to fit it. Anyone know what plug it is, a link from online would be helpful to order it.

Going to service my Kubota myself this go around. I ordered my filters but was unsure what fluids I needed to use for the engine oil & transmission. Anything else?

Was looking at ballast box ideas and was thinking the ordinary route of using a 55 gal drum upright with pvc inserted for tool storage or flipping the drum sideways and using just a draw bar. If I went the second route I found a 32" cat 2 draw bar I could use to still allow the most size for...

Looking to add LED lights to the roof of my Workmaster to help with night work, especially the front. The headlights beam onto the loader/grapple shading out around and make it hard to see what your doing. My plans is a 32" Flood/Spot led bar in the front & 2 18w work lights shining off the...

Picking up our New Holland Workmaster 60 hopefully Friday if everything is in & installed. Bought it with 4wd, 621 FEL, Rakemaster CR54 grapple, 3rd function valve installed, and roof. Having them go ahead and load the tires also before pick up. I think this tractor will be a perfect match...

Long time lurker but first post here guys. We just bought a new 50 acre piece of property and plan to build a house soon on it. I'm going to leave about 15 acres in pasture, field, 1.5-2 of that for yard, and the rest planted in pines. Our drive way will also be very long making a loop to the...
