Being West Tn the biggest issue I see is the land was never cleared. Land out there that was usable farmland was cleared in the 1800s. Everything else is so wet that it was not worth clearing. I'd make sure and pull a wetlands inventory map up and a soil map. Id bet the ground is low and...

Just saw this thread and thought I would share that many tow companies do off road recoveries. Usually at least one in your area will have a trackloader with winch to facilitate recoveries like this. My local guy charges $150+ depending on how quickly you need it recovered. He doubles his...

I've seen it on multiple types of attachments where they offer a non piston high flow motor. Anything advertised as flow rates over 20gpm is suspect in my mind now. Items I have looked at are rakes, cutters, grinders, tillers, and augers. I would assume the snow blowers are the same never...

I have been researching attachments for my SVL65 high flow machine. Every discount manufacturer USA made not chinese import stuff that I have come across CID, MTL, RUT etc are not properly specifying the hydraulic motors to what they advertise the capabilities of the attachment. This is just...

It may be just as good for your expected loss cases but it likely doesn't cover operator error losses and off site losses. I would read the rider for your homeowners insurance to make sure it covers every loss that you deem as an acceptable risk. I doubt it will cover an engine fire, sliding...

A trail cam like this with solar power and lte connectivity to monitor the parking area. You can check the image and if its 2 legged call the police and/or neighbor. I believe you get 100 free images per month and additional plans are available from $5 to $15...

Check surpluscenter as well. This one is rectangular but till you get measurements its hard to say what will fit. https://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Valves/Valve-Parts-Accessories/Rubber-Boot-For-9-4782-9-8217-Prince-Mfg-671300054-671300054.axd

This may help locate an appropriate cv boot. https://www.suspension.com/cv-boots-by-size.asp You can also search amazon for joystick boots. There are many different styles listed. I am not familiar with the one for the rk37 but the drawing in parts manual looks similar to this one for Kioti...

I agree with Pmsmechanic check the battery cables. Especially the ground connection at the battery lug.

I don't like steel tanks (142lbs empty for that one) and prefer aluminum (59lbs). I can lift my tank when empty. For a deal on transfer tanks watch Amazon's warehouse deals. I got my deezee L shaped 111g tank for $475 delivered used like new at black friday last year when they had an extra...

Trackers are a good investment for rentals and stuff left on job sites. For personal property left like you are describing I would always park it where it can't easily be moved unless under its own power. Then kill switch(es) and safety switches to prevent easy startup. Removing the ground...

When I was just fueling the tractor I would fill 2x 5g cans and use the old squeeze bulb transfer pipe. With the skid steer I bought a 110 gallon aluminum transfer tank and mounted it on a pallet made out of ground contact rated 2x6s. The pallet will fit between the wheel wells of my truck bed...

I have a csv2w and I looked and it is 1.25" pipe not 1.5". My well pump does 27gpm at 80psi. It handles the house and irrigation.

I have one on my 4" 200ft deep well. It is installed above the well head in horizontal position. 1.5in pvc pipe exits well cap goes to a 90 changes to galvanized nipple them the csv then another galvanized nipple then pvc 90 and pipe into the ground and over to the well house. The csv has...

Given the age of tractor I would suggest starting by draining and cleaning the fuel tank out and looking for signs of rust and/or slime. Almost 100% the problem is a clog in the fuel path and until you solve the source of whats clogging the lines you will continue to always have problems. So...

Its insurance of course the payouts vs premiums is going to favor premiums. Where ktac shines is that the dealers service department is responsible for assessing the claim and not an insurance adjuster. So there are some claims that Ktac will cover fully that an adjuster may try to find a...

Again this is where a good dealer is important. The easy answer is the loader is not repairable. Contact the service department manager and ask them what parts of the loader need replacing to repair it. Is it just one or both arms the quick attach etc. What parts are bent? The first step of...

The way it is supposed to work is: The dealer submits a quote to Ktac for the repair of the loader. Ktac compares the cost to repair versus the original contractual amount of the loader and decides to either total the loader or repair it. If Ktac repairs the loader there should be no extra...

I finally got the kit yesterday. I am going to start the process of cleaning the tank and prepping it. What I have learned is the kit is a reasonable value. While you can source the cleaner and rustblast as generic chemicals the cost of small quantity wont net any real savings. The KBS Klean...

I have one of the Agrisupply gas pounders. One of my better purchases. I've driven tposts through roots with it. I've had it 3 years. Only use non-ethanol fuel mixed with oil. Push the primer 3-4 times. Put choke on pull chord once turn choke off and pull cord to start. Only time it...

My property here in SC borders a 350 acre hunting property. I am overrun with white tail. At first light I will usually have 30 to 50 in the back 5 acres where there is a small pond. The woods are full of 75lb coyotes. They have no problem taking down adult deer and I suspect would take down...

Tree law is complex as all can tell from the varied responses. It is very location specific but in general trees in good health that fall are an act of god. After they fall it is the responsibility of the owner of the land where they lay. A hazordous tree typically must be shown to be...

My turkeys have killed a few timber rattlers here before I finished clearing out the woods. Also lost a hen to one of those kills. She killed it but got bit in process. After I got the woods pushed back to the property lines the rattlers also stopped showing up. Now I just see the occasional...

Going through this right now with my MF 1240. I drained the tank and pressure washed the inside as best I could through the fill cap. Got a gallon of 30% white vinegar, diluted with 1 gallon of water and poured it in. Almost immediately I had pin hole leaks in 3 spots. I had to jack the...

I agree rent the smallest tracked skid steer, a 4n1 bucket, and a post hole digger with 18in auger. Do a weekend rental on all of it and get it done. Don't worry about torn up spots in the grass they will grow back in over a few weeks. I know I have made plenty of bare spots in my own yard...

Everything everyone has been saying can easily be summed up as different tools for different jobs. A tractor /jeep/ pickup all can do most the things a side by side can do just not as well but can do things a side by side can't do as well. It comes down to what one needs to do and what value...

Ive been seeing better prices show up on Facebook marketplace lately. I picked up a 2002 6x4 diesel Gator with roof for $2k this week. It has 2k hours but runs good. Handles the soft ground really well. There was a 4x4 2006 gas gator for $2200 last week. Currently there is a gas 6x4 listed...

edit: Looking at the picture of the disconnect I think what he means by threaded key is a mangled disconnect pin that has been scored and smashed. That is why the pin doesn't push in. I am pretty sure that the yoke is a Weasler 6N series which is similar in dimensions to a 4 series. If the...

If you have the half thats connected to the md6 drive shaft then you can buy a new half for the tractor side from tractor supply. Price has doubled in past year unfortunately. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/weasler-pto-drive-shaft-with-3-4-in-x-7-8-in-shafting

A ground that is slightly loose can cause these problems as well. I would at minimum check the battery lug and ensure it is tightened down good. My 1240 had a cheap 6awg cable from likely walmart or autozone etc on it. The cheap split metal ring lug had rusted through on one side and made...

The factory cable is 30mm copper which is like 2.4awg. 2awg is a good replacement cable. However: You don't need to replace the cable if the insulation is intact. There should be enough length to cut the battery terminal end off, trim an inch of insulation off, and install a new clamp on...

I use my banks bill pay to send payments for everything that needs to be paid that I can't first pay on a cash back credit card. I don't like giving other companies my checking details and authorization to withdraw from my account. By paying via the banks billpay it still allows me to pay...

I sometimes use one on my skidsteer that I bought when I had a m7060. A few things I have learned to do to improve the uses of this attachment are: 1. Grab the tree up high and clamp down tight. Pull down and curl out to snap off the top of the tree. (20ft tree can be cut in half makes...

R-410a is much higher pressure than r22. Also coils today use thinner gauge pipe. The result is oxidation in the new coils get pin hole leaks much faster.

I'm partial to fencing it in, fatten up 4 steers and put 1 or 2 in the freezer and selling the rest as beef to neighbors or friends. Hay lease works too if you have someone nearby that already does hay. A flock of meat hair sheep are reasonably easy to maintain as well. If you are set on...

Always replace the capacitor with the motor as a capacitor is $10 or less. Always keep a spare capacitor on hand for every fan as they are cheap and they often go at the worst possible time. A spare relay will also keep you from being down long for not much money. A set of gauges and a $25...

I agree clean it up pretty (tracks, windows, controls, arm rests, seat), full tank diesel, and throw in a gift certificate for steak house and maybe a bottle of whiskey/case beer if he likes that sort of thing. Rental rate for 8hr day would easily be $700 for cutter and machine...

Check facebook marketplace for an old Danuser 3pt post pounder. Search for post pounder and or post driver. Usually go for $800 to $1500 around me. Their 3pt pto powered driver can drive 6" post into soft ground in a few hits. Right now my soft clay/sand ground is concrete hard due to the...

I purchased one of the Pto adapters from Skidsteersolutions and was dismayed to find they included 1/2" hose for 25gpm rated motor size 160. Apparently they have undersized hoses for all of their pto systems. They use 1/2" diameter hoses for their 80, 120, and 160 motors. A size 80 motor is...

I would avoid the 1240/50/60 line unless you are using it for very light work. I have a 1240 that has been nothing but trouble and a pain to work on. They are very easy to overheat if you are mowing or in dusty environment. The radiator screen clogs very quickly. If the temp gauge climbs...

I just heard from my dealer that the new SVL-65 completed build on Monday and should ship this coming Monday. It is coming from the new plant in Salina, Kansas. I just hope that since they only very recently started production there that Quality Control is being extra tough. I know in my...

Ktac insures you for the amount you paid per your paperwork or parts and labor to repair up to about 75% of the value of the insured equipment. Once the repair is above 75% they typically will just total loss the item. It does not provide replacement value or replacement equipment. Equipment...

I've been waiting since first week of August for replacement tractor for a totalled m7060. The dealer said maybe in 2 more weeks but almost for sure before end of October. He told me that about September in August.

I have a la1154 that came off my totalled 7060. 3rd function, standard cab valve and joystick, grill guard, all mounting hardware and hoses etc. All parts taken off by dealer along with a new quick attach assembly and put on a pallet. Tractor had 150hrs when totalled. It is sitting on my...

I was able to get it started by holding the start switch and jumping the relay line to the battery terminal. After stopping the tractor I was able to get it to make the normal attempts to start like the nut was loose again. Its like the relay wire isn't delivering enough current to engage the...

The battery cable going to the starter on my Mf 1240 keeps vibrating loose (terminal 1). When this happens the tractor won't start but I can hear it click like its trying to start. Today I went to tighten up the nut after this occurred and now the starter doesn't click like normal and the...
