I'm assuming folks are using a drill operated pump to fill these gear boxes?

morning all, It's been a spell since i've posted up anything here. I'm fixing to pull up the T handle for the pitless adapter to my well today by using the bucket as a hoist. Does anyone happen to know what the lifting cap is for this backhoe? I'm thinking i'll be lifting approx 400#s...

I would do a tandem pull due to the fact that you are on wet, sloppy grounds, and the fact that RV is connected to the truck and this is a safe stance in my opinion. Simply connect the tractor to the truck, and both drivers can easily pull the RV out of the predicament it's in. Given the weight...

This is great feedback, thanks!!

I've been looking to see if they are any holidays sale specials and came across this particular thread. After reading the reviews and looking at the YouTube video posted by EA, I am leading towards ordering this attachment for yet another Christmas present to myself [emoji16]. I love the steel...

Does your bulb look like this and have the following description on the flange? 12v25/25w. My tractor is a 3316 hst, model year 2011. I ordered a pair of bulbs that matched the description but did not have the correct flange for installation into the socket. If your bulb looks like mine, I...

Howdy folks, I'd like to build a boom pole for lifting things and I have two ways of building this. Currently, I have a blank SSQA plate to which I can weld up a boom pole, similar to what you see the pic below. Mine will be telescopic style. Or, I can build something around my pallet forks...

Hello folks, I wanted to promote a cover I bought from Amazon for my Mahindra 3316HST. The cover should fit most of our SCUTs and it's made real well. I'm very impressed with the quality of the material as well as attention to details. There are three straps that I'm not using due to the...

I'm sure this topic has been covered before but I'm having a heck of a time finding a led bar that's FLOOD only on Amazon. I keep seeing spot/flood combo but I'm wanting strictly a bar that's flood only. I'm trying to keep the profile low vs the typical square or round flood lights. Let me...

I scored a Meyer 6.5' plow setup for a pickup truck last year so I wanted to use it this snow season. I'm using a SSQA plate and converted the system over for SSQA operation. Trouble is that the metal cutting edge is worn down quite a bit and I need to do something. I'm plowing gravel roads...

14.9 volts at idle and 1500.

Hey fellas, My ALT is way overcharging the battery at nearly 15vdc! :eek: That explains the copious amount of corrosion on the terminals and on the hold down bar. In any case, I can easily rebuild it myself and need to buy a rebuild kit. Well wait a min, is it still under the 5 year...

Hey fellas, My ALT is way overcharging the battery at nearly 15vdc! :eek: Looks like the regulator is kaput. That explains the copious amount of corrosion on the terminals and on the hold down bar. In any case, I can easily rebuild it myself and need to buy a rebuild kit. Well wait a min...

I've been looking for a rear blade that articulates in all directions and finally found this unit. However, I'm not sure if I can rotate the bladed 180 degrees by looking at the picture. JD Pipe Trailer & Ford Blade He lives about 1.5 hours from me and will knock the price down some if I go to...

I notice that TSC has this unit, which is probably too long for the lift arm but I'll see if Tisco has shorter units. Tisco Lift Leveling Box Assembly, E0NN569AA - For Life Out Here My apologies if this has been discussed already and if so, please let me have the link. Thank you.

I can't get myself to cash this check, made out to my newly formed S corp!!! :D It was a simple job, just plow the driveway of a home. Her driveway is rather long and I also did the sidewalk around her house. We live in the boonies so her house sits about 300yds from the main road and it's a...

Good morning all, As of the first of this year, I'm now working for myself as an Engineering consultant. This is very scary for a lifelong W2 guy and very exciting at the same time. My reason for doing this is so that I can do engineering work, tractor work and 4x4 vehicle based fabrication...

I'm curious as to how these two plow blades work when they have no chains? Do they have some type of freedom of movement in the vertical direction that I can't tell by the pics?

Converted a Meyer snowplow into a SSQA for my Mahindra Happy NY to all! I purchased a Meyer 6.5" plow and fabricated a simple mount for the SSQA. I kept the same system as a typical pickup truck so that I can sell this plow if for some reason I need to. This is the first time I've ever used...

My nine year old daughter has been playing with mine since I first got it, a little more than a year ago. It's fun to watch her hand/eye coordination improve as time wears on!

Gents, This is a newbie question so my apologies in advance :o For those of you who are plowing with your tractor, are you using the "bucket curl" control for the left/right control on the blade? I'm going to be modifying a typical pickup truck mounted snow plow to my SSQA plate and was...

Folks, I apologize if this topic has been covered before but a cursory search revealed tons of threads that didn't really give me the info I need. My tractor is 5' wide at the rear tire and the conventional wisdom here dictates the use of a 6' rear blade. However, if I purchase an offset or a...

Hello folks, It's been a while since I took delivery of my tractor but two life altering events took place in the meantime. It's been over a year since this beauty arrived and I've been having a BLAST with her. My nine year old daughter drives the tractor and operates the backhoe and each and...

I'm curious if anyone here is using a hyd dump trailer with tandem axles to haul their tractor around? I could use a hyd dump trailer for work around the property but also need something to haul my tractor around. I'd say the total weight of the tractor to be approx 5,000lb with the BH. Is...

Saw this CL ad few hours from my place and was curious if his price is on par with the market. Hydraulic BLADE RB 1172

Happy New Years to all! A farmer not too far from me posted up an old Dearborn 6' blade and asking $400 for it. Let me know if you think it's worth the asking price. The main tube is slightly bent but shouldn't affect the operation of the unit. The replaceable cutting edge was full of dirt...

Gents, I know this question has been asked before but search revealed lots of noise. Hopefully these diagrams will help out others. Can someone confirm the hyd hose routing in the attached two diagrams? Did I get the routing correct for connecting a BH and normal operation w/o a BH...

Thanks to the knowledge and help gained from the threads on this site, I finally acquired my first tractor, a 2011 3316HST with a 3720B BH and a meager 21 hours of use! Phone calls with Dave the tractor guy were extremely valuable to me, even though I wasn't able to buy a tractor from him, his...

Can I see some pics of the holder/bracket that holds the BH couplers please? I'm thinking of adding this to the rear of my 3316 with the 3720B backhoe. Currently, this coupler connection sits behind the engine, under the tractor which I find to be less a than ideal location. I should be able...

Fellas, I'm having a challenging time finding dust caps for the female coupler (as shown). I went to several hydraulic hose shops and they don't carry this size for some reason. I found the cap for the male coupler but not for the female coupler. I did find a plug that goes inside the female...

Upon receipt of my 3316HST, I've been going through and rerouting Hyd hoses, retorquing all hardware. I found one hose that was installed with the loader located in such a manner that the foot pedal arms were rubbing on the hose. The three additional hoses for the BH were not run to my...

I'm working on a 3316HST deal with a dealer in AR. The backhoe has been ordered and hopefully will get installed on the tractor and then hit the road to my house by the end of next week. Gotta love this emblem: :dance1:

What financing companies give tractors for personal use (vs ag use)? I called AgDirect and they all only insure equipment for Ag use. Searching on "finance" produces too many hits!

Just curious what size is a good all around length for forks. I'm picturing a set of pallet forks rated around 2,000lbs but wasn't sure what length would be good for all around use. I see myself using the forks more for non pallet lifting work - engine pulling, moving/carrying bulky items...

Looks like MahindraUSA is offering: BEST PRICES OF THE YEAR The holidays are starting early with Mahindra's Red Ribbon Holiday Sales Event providing up to $3,500 off the purchase price. This great deal is going on now through January 31, 2014! So, is this a good time buy my new tractor? :rolleyes:

I'm currently shopping for a tractor and the 3016/3616 vs Kubota L3200 keep coming up. My local Kubota dealer wants to sell me the last L3200HST on his lot at list price. The lifting capacity of the loader (not bucket) between the two tractors is astounding. 3016 can lift 1650 lbs vs 1131 lbs...
