If you lower everything and you check hydro fluid before starting tractor, it helps identifying slow leaks you might not notice while operating equipment. Some leaks only leak under pressure.

Didn't use trucker specific gps?

Noticed problem today. All post menu items are greyed out, only preview icon is black

Ease of hooking up. Common feature before quick hitches became popular.

Makes it easier to steal, just put in neutral.

Hydraulic top link makes BB more useful, add 3rd remote for tilt (top and tilt)

How does your fuel shut off work? A Kubota BX has a 12v timer that engages the shut off solenoid. Image jumping on/off, restarting engine multiple times. Not enough run time to recharge battery. You feel kinda dumb founded when it won't shut off. The good news you can still get back inside...

The wick is cloth to absorb the fuel the top is fiberglass strands?? It is slowly consumed, depends on usage, typically needs to be replaced after 2 or so years. Around here ACE hardware sells those if needed now - amazon good for stocking spares.

backing up and lifting 3pt the ends will relatch. If the release rings/pins are missing, I'd disassemble that top cover and get repair parts ordered. May not need this lift arm feature if using quick hitch.

Think diesel has more paraffin molecules in it, will gum up the wick (burning end) way faster than kerosene.

Big ole hammer when you release them to connect equipment, backing up and lifting 3pt the ends relatch

This guy was definately "hauling"

A root grapple removes material before you drive over it. May locate stuff you don' want to drive or mow over. More of a multi-purpose tool. Bush hog is faster, will maintain cleared land, only good for mowing and rear ballast. Both tools nice to have

Good start, rock bucket can pick up 3"+ rocks (optional tool) Landscape rake will drag rocks into pile, use loader bucket to remove rock pile Don't have one, maybe best tool for job https://www.flipscreenglobal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/S10.pdf

Different style of forks and boom pole used 3pt drawbars to clamp it up. Lift tested with old engine block. Loaded tires & 700# rear blade, 70's era ford, real cast iron frame. pin on forks, if using SSQA consider a way to lock it to the FEL

LittleBill, I started this thread, if you look at the photo in post 1 the bright red wires and the fuse block came from walmart.

1/4" hole in loader frame and mount lights on outside lighting up bucket corners.

Hate Honeysuckle, the weed of the forest. Grows quick, spreads fast, most always found near mature trees (seeds spread by birds). Cut them off and they resprout. Best to pull them with brush grubber or do like Tim Taylor on Tool Time - Use more power

Not impressed - snow pusher may be better. I use my 3pt blade, seems to work better

pulling up is better than pulling over - build a lever

Pull them & fill holes.

Good tool for under 4" trees Best tool For hill sides and areas to dangerous for tractor

That's a dangerous operation. Don't pull as easy as you think. I use a tree puller for this and it lifts the front end off the ground. Wear a hard hat, small & dead branches can snap off. Cut vines 4-6 weeks before pulling to hopefully weaken them before pulling.

Private drive? Why not use multiple lights, different lights can be independently aimed.

When you don't have an implement barn, FEL stuff gets parked on pallets, 3pt stuff on wooden stands

Snap-on had a patent called flank drive. Six and 12 point sockets and wrenches had rounded points like this Patent must have expired, better quality tools now use this design. Spline sockets (fits metric/sae) move the point of contact to the flat sides of the bolts & nuts. In the 70's a...

If you don't have a grapple, it will become a most used tool. It can clean up the mess created by a tree puller Flat land, recommend the grapple. Slopes the puller may be the better tool.

If your land leveling needs are heavy duty here are some interesting tools. Hoelscher Commercial Products - GR Grader Hoelscher Commercial Products - RB Scraper Good for shearing off mole hills and flattening runs. Have larger tractor when I really want to "make it work"

something like this for FEL or ROPS

If you can't find one Kubota makes a ratcheting side link, mine was ordered with this and extending link arms. Only photo I have showing side link

Saw this on TBN or OTT

I use the hood release/ornament on my B2650 as my position guide. If the lift cylinders can't pull it, driving forward or rocking tractor while pulling works - to a limit, it's just a "B".

Hoelscher Commercial Products - RB Scraper When roller is empty, use it on the lawn in early spring. Also shears off mole hills.

STP25 on B2650, Brush under 3/4" diameter usually just snaps off due to the clamping pressures. 1" - 2 1/2" can usually be pulled by loader lift alone. 2+ to 4" are pulled by driving forward and pulling. Most trees have roots going sideways and you may need to try pulling from 2 or more...

B2650, your larger tractor will work fine, posts don't have roots. I max out at 3-4" tree trunks depending on tree species and soil conditions.

Battery tools are easier to mod for remote control, usually extra wire and a switch. Extended the reach of a cheap Walmart polesaw. more info/photos here Found New Job for Root Grapple | OrangeTractorTalks - Everything Kubota

Unless your in Canada or have lake effect snow, you will be OK with forward plowing. Yes, plowing in reverse moves more snow. I do this to open up space for the next round of snow or to push it over a ravine. Chains, you may need wheel spacers. Funny thing with FEL plow when you angle the...

Sounds like you are making a DIY version of this Hoelscher Commercial Products - RB Scraper

The LX models are minor upgrades of the B2650 and B3350. Here is a 60" LP on a B2650 (when they both were shiny and new :) )

Mounted my spreader to 3pt blade using 2 U-bolts 2x4 spacer and long reciever tube.

This style keeps trees closer to lift arm pivot pin (more pulling power). Clamping onto tree and driving forward helps.

Don't know if it's woods, bought at equipment auction - meaning I'm clueless about capacity. Used with chain and brush grubber to pull small trees. Had ability to lift front wheels when tree was too big. The Ford 4000 probably weighs 3x as much as the RK24. I seriously doubt it will work. If...

Great minds think alike. My 4x4 pole quickly slides off, then use grapple for clean up.

All you need is treated 4x4's, lag bolts and a saw. Build stand under it while attached to tractor with 3pt in center position. Keep adding 4x4's in layers for desired height. Flipping unit over and adding deck boards will help keep 4x4's sinking into dirt over time. Treated 2x lumber may be...
