    90-110hp tractor hydraulics 15 gpm and operating skid steer attachments?

    Augers like post hole diggers? Most are standard flow. Snowblowers come with a wide range of flow requirements but many will exceed your tractor's capability. I'm not going to do your research; it's not difficult for you to search specs from manufacturers you are considering.

    90-110hp tractor hydraulics 15 gpm and operating skid steer attachments?

    Only if the motor flow requirements are that high. Many are not. As Hay Dude says, compare the flow requirement specs of the implements you are considering to the tractor 3rd function flow spec.

    Just another UDT oil question.

    I could be wrong but I took the $264 figure to be the price for a sufficient quantity of SUDT2 to accomplish the drain & fill on the MX. That would be more in line with typical retail prices per gallon/pail/whatever.

    Moldboard plowing

    This isn't a pissing contest Jim. There's no doubt soil conditions vary, which I included in my reply. I plowed a couple hundred acres a year for a couple decades myself. Not an activity I am unfamiliar with.

    Single acting cylinders to double

    Not that way at all. The wing cylinders don't change the deck height. They fold the wings from/to whatever deck height the lift cylinder is set at.

    Moldboard plowing

    Operating at low rpm doesn't necessarily mean it is lugging. A 5000 is a 4 plow tractor in most soils and could handle 5-14"s in a lot of conditions. A 3 bottom most likely isn't taxing it much depending on what gear Grampa is using.

    Just another UDT oil question.

    Please define "compatible part or consumable". My definitions does not include filters with different micron ratings or flow rates. Or fluids with different viscosities, base stocks or additive packages. Do yours? Do you own any machines with a factory warranty?

    Just another UDT oil question.

    Don't change the hydraulic oil @ 50 hours. It's a supreme waste of $$$. Over 26 years experience at three dealers selling CaseIH, New Holland, Kubota and Mahindra. Dealerships have been around since 1963, 1970 and 2010. Not a single recommendation or work order for a hydraulic oil change at 50...

The air filter housing may have been stuffed full of debris by rodents. Let's look...

    What size trailer hitch ball on a 16-18' deck trailer?

    Yeah, you keep posting that but it doesn't apply to trailers like the one I owned that had brakes on both axles and was manufactured as a 7K trailer, plated as such and inspected in NY annually. if I ever had a legal issue (which I did not) I would have had LoadTrail right there too.

    Would New Holland do Warranty service on LS tractors?

    Might have had a PTO shaft that was too long, got in a bind and broke the tractor output shaft. Make sure you have a warrantable repair before you stress about the wait time. Most tractor output shaft failures are caused by implement stress of one kind or another.

    Diesel storage tank, pump, filter and water separator. Which order?

    +1. Water separator before filter.

    96" buckets with inner width enough to carry plywood?

    Best to actually measure the bucket you are considering. Many will not be 96" inside. Next to none will have a 25" deep floor that will keep a 4' wide sheet from simply tipping out frontwards.

    How long can cylinder rods remain exposed to the elements before they should be coated with something?

    You ever leave newsprint out in the weather for a month or so? Why would any reasonably intelligent human think that would be effective?
  129. RickB

    How long can cylinder rods remain exposed to the elements before they should be coated with something?

    Any cover I can envision would serve to trap moisture and exacerbate corrosion issues. Fluid film or common grease would do better. For usage like yours (and mine when I had a 3pt backhoe) I'd apply when you know the backhoe project is done and the next is still unscheduled.

    Kubota Z726 dies when I take foot off parking brake.

    The OPC controller isn’t recognizing the seat switch signal. Seat switch, wiring or the OPC controller are possible causes. I can’t tell from here what the exact cause is so I said there is a fault in the circuit. A simple seat switch replacement might well be a waste of money. A blown fuse is...

    When Bush Hog introduced the feature it was touted as protection for the deck. you don’t see mower deck baffles to the center (inside) of the blade cutting edges.

    It wasn't directed at you and I wasn't referring to running a small square baler. I try not to read or react to anything you post and I sure don't need schooling on small square balers. I spent half my life running them and much of the other half keeping them running properly for others. FYI...

    JD Brush Hog: Can’t access bolt to take blades off.

    Frontier doesn't design or manufacture anything. Frontier is a collection of implements sourced from short line manufacturers and rebranded as Frontier and sold by John Deere and their dealer network.

    JD Brush Hog: Can’t access bolt to take blades off.

    Make the access hole bigger to allow direct access to the blade bolt. Much easier than removing the stump jumper/ blade bar. There's a very small probability of a bent stump jumper/blade bar and a very high probability that the access hole isn't properly located, especially if both blade bolts...

    Backhoe Connectors on backhoe hydraulic lines?

    I'd call it the rod end hose for the backhoe bucket cylinder. I too would use a length of wire attached to the old and new hose to facilitate the replacement. Using a piece of threaded rod or a male/male hydraulic fitting to couple the hoses together will create a rigid section 4"-6" long that...

    That engine configuration has been discontinued. Anything that it was installed in will be/has been repowered and rebadged. there's too much negative aura surrounding the B3350, ZD1511 and F3960.

    Hone the cylinder bore, dress the gouges in the piston so it doesn't damage the bore any more and put it back together with new seals. As long as the cylinder bore doesn't damage the seals and the piston doesn't damage the cylinder bore it will work just fine. Worry more about the cylinder bore...

    Looking for a part number for your Kioti?

    What is up with battery sizing?

    Group 51 and 51R are fairly common CUT batteries and would fit your space. 51's have NewHolland applications and the 51R's are used in some Kubota's and Deeres.

    3rd function valve kit

    Can you determine what TYM model was rebadged by Cabela's? It's not like TYM designed a clean sheet tractor line for sale at a sporting goods store. A 3rd function kit for a specific TYM (or maybe even a sister Mahindra) model might be an easier find.

    baldwin cross reference

    If the Baldwin website or a Baldwin retailer can't cross my tractor to their filter I'd not be interested in Baldwin filters. Relying on keyboard jockeys for that kind of information isn't something I'm about to do. Your mileage may vary.

    Foamed the front tires; broke the 4WD?

    If the foam added as much rigidity as some foam products do it's entirely possible the drive failure is related to the foam filling. foam filled tires on wheel type skid steers in conjunction with steel over tire tracks is a big no-no due to accelerated wheel bearing wear and the potential for...

    How to catch 11 gallons of oil?

    Connect an open ended hydraulic hose to a loader or rear remote quick connect fitting. Pump the majority of the oil into buckets using a control valve to start and stop the flow. Use a smaller pan to drain the housings after draining the system using the pump and hose.

    The ZD1511 does not use DEF. it has a reformer based exhaust after treatment system. User results have been mixed at best, software updates have helped the system reliability. Do your research before you buy. The ZD1211 does not use the same system.

    Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

    The only place the A/C drains can logically be run is down through the cab pillars. Look at the bottom front of the cab at the bottom of the 'A' pillars. If not there, check under the fenders at the bottom of the 'B' pillars if your cab has 'B' pillars. Then check the rear cab corners.
