So I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this but... I was lamenting my cruddy shop lighting and annoyed at having to keep moving work lights while grinding today.... First I was thinking someone probably makes a welding helmet with a built-in head light. Or I could modify my existing...

So I recently bought a used Woods backhoe attachment. I do not know the service history. Before I put it on my hydrostatic MX4800 in the spring, I was thinking I should flush out the old hydraulic fluid so as to not contaminate my UDT2. Several people were nice enough to describe how they...

New to me Woods BH90-X! Been looking for an affordable used BH90-X or Kubota BH92 for about 8mos. $4150 with 24" bucket in reasonable shape (no subframe or thumb). I think I did pretty good. (Just let me believe I did even if I didn't!) Very excited but will have to wait till spring to get...

Could someone please tell me what the icons mean when there is a new reply to one of my subscribed threads! The square icon to the left of the thread title with an envelope in it. Sometimes the square is blue or red. Either color can have a green dot. What do these mean? :confused3:

Would this work with a receiver hitch?

That 1691lbs number for the LA1065 is for 500mm forward of the lift pin at max height where the loader is the weakest. Lift capacity at 1500mm and 500mm in front of pins is 2319lbs so make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Here are the tables/graphs from my LA1065 manual.

Best I could find of my tractor: Picture of the intertubes:

Has anyone built or seen a tractor FROPS without 'B' pillars? I'd like to fab a cage for my MX4800 for working in the woods to protect me and the tractor. However, I'm concerned about visibility for loader/grapple work which I do a lot of. I was thinking of a square/rectangular frame above...

Does anyone know the weight of a Woods BH90-X backhoe attachement?

Not sure where to post this and it may get removed anyway but I have a suspicion that's been bugging me. I suspect that at least some of the posters on TBN are financially compensated to post by manufacturer. We know this happens with online reviews. I am not suggesting that the TBN...

I went with the Jawz for several reasons. I wanted both sides to articulate. The jaw are on the same circuit so they self-center. So it is ok if the tractor is a little off center. With only one moving jaw the loader may get torqued to the side a little as the jaw closes. You then are gonna...

Replacement Soil stock Chinese steel. Rated to tow 10k with the 2-5/16 ball. I'll abuse the crud out of this one and see how it holds up.

Extremely good point about the grill guard!

Here is mine FWIW:

You're giant grabber arm is bigger than my giant grabber arm... Just don't tell my 3yr old!

No, like this Just bolts on the sides.

I bought a wet pressure gauge to test my hydraulics. On the top there is a blue rubberized nipple with a sticker that says "cut top after installation." I read in another post where someone did this and glycerin then leaked out. I need to be able to use this laying flat. Do I have to cut it?

Really not sure but my vote is real. I saw this on the web and the caption read: "I hope that cab is big enough for the operator and his ba!!s."

So I think I've had enough finger tip neuropathy from spray cans to justify a spray rig. Mostly small jobs for equipment paint and primer. Also might try out with laquer and varnish. I have a decent size wheelbarrow air compressor that I think will put out 8cfm @ 80psi. This won't make me...

Finally got seed planted after clearing about 2/3acre of field. Before: After: Threw up the rock wall just because I needed somewhere to go with the granite I dug up.

"tact-tor!!!" Actually his 3rd word (first 2 syllable). "Dad" and "dog" were the first two. It was also my first sons 3rd word! It's funny the affinity they have to tractors. I guess we are born with it and it never wears off.

So I want to upgrade my Hobart 140 to a new (sub $1000) 220V machine. I find that too frequently I am pushing or exceeding the capabilities of it. I'm mostly welding farm equipment. I am considering a dual voltage unit... Is there any disadvantage to these? Given the praise on TBN I...

They have a Ebay store. Anyone bought anything from them?

Any experience with these guys? Fit and finish? Customer service?

I think I'd like to put a stump grapple on my MX4800. Some use with stumps primarily to dig around and move large rocks. Any thoughts on their usefulness? I'd prefer to keep in under 500lbs. Some are short (36" long) and others are longer (48-56"). Any thoughts on which is better trade off on...

Does anyone know the specs for Woods 9000 backhoe attachment? Specifically how it compares to the Kubota BH92 and the newer Woods BH90-X. Thanks!

Clearing pasture and needed somewhere to go with all the granite. Started the 'Great Wall to Nowhere.'

Will the BXpanded hydraulic pressure test kit work on my MX4800? Thanks in advance!

Not towing but a trailer of sorts is involved.

Use a cat 1 tow bar and be sure your top link pin is the correct height in case you ever want to use a Quick Hitch. I added a chain saw scabbard, 4" pipe, 2" receiver hitch, and a box on top. 1000lbs. Form pic is prior to adding rebar.

Any suggestions on the best consumer-use design sortware for barns?

Dave, I am a medical professional. Go to the ER today, as in now. You'll likely need part of your finger amputated but if you wait it could be the entire finger. Please go.

I need help from those of you with more knowledge than me. I can do simple wiring but bare with me as I am sure I will use incorrect terminology. I think there is a simple answer here... I want to add a second warning light to my tractor (MX4800) that will light up when the parking brake is...

Here's a pic with the break set.

Using the tree puller to clear and over grown rock wall And the grapple to load the dump trailer to transport to the burn pile. Before After

Ok, for years Ive been using a piecemeal collection of sockets and wrenches. I think I'm ready to buy a complete set. I'm talking metric and SAE up to maybe 2". I do occasionally use pneumatics but mostly hand power. So, do I want a 6 or 12 point sockets? What other features should I look...

Finished off a quick and dirty ballast box today. Plywood form, rebar, and 1000lbs of concrete Quickrete. Used a 3pth tow bar for lift pins and welded up some angle iron I had laying around for the top link. 4inch PVC with a drain hole in the bottom for long handled tools. 2" square tube...

Anyone know where the kill switch for the HST pedal is? The one that when paired with the seat or PTO switch then kills the engine. I looked for a pressure switch on the HST pedal linkage but there is nothing there. Is it in the ECU? Thanks.

I have had this problem on both HST tractors I have owned-- I forget I have the parking break set and drive around like a dope burning breaks and fuel! I've tried to stomp the heck out of the brake pedal prior to engaging the parking brake so it's harder to be oblivious to its effects but...

Finally had a rainy day to burn brush.

Thinking about going to down the Quick Hitch road for my 3pt implements. The bushing are expensive and I have 7 cat1 implements to setup and don't want to move bushings around. 1) where is the cheapest place to buy bushings? 2) I've read in another thread that instead of the expensive QH...

My tractor has great extendable 3pt lift arms and a nice top link. Problem is that they are cat 2 and every implement I own is cat 1. I really dislike using reduction bushings! They are fiddley and easily lost and worse yet can work themselves half way out of the link with some of my...

As promised. Landpride SGC1572. If I could go back in time I would have gotten a grapple like the one Piston has. And maybe 64" not 72". Let the dealer talk me into this style and size. Said I really wanted 72" as that almost spans my rear tire tracks. Don't get me wrong, I love having it...

So I finished the guard reinforcement. Thanks for all the tips and pics. You can see where I had already cracked the plastic screen. I added some angle iron reinforcement. Used #9 3/4" expanded metal. Made a little basket to hold chains at the bottom.

My first significant mod to this tractor (other than cracking the grill screen but I don't think that counts). I removed the tiny plastic toolbox that comes on the tractor (as well as the traffic triangle mounting bracket) and replaced it with a bigger, good quality steel box. I sprayed the...

Had my first regeneration yesterday! At 27hrs I thought it would never happen for Loraine and I (BTW Loraine is my beautiful MX4800). What was I doing wrong I thought? Then finally... IT happened! Suddenly she was ready to take that next step in our relationship. It only took us 10-15...

Im a very inexperienced mig welder so hopefully this not an incredibly stupid question. I know that having an uncontaminated joint is important for a good weld. I spent several hours today cutting, grinding, and preping a project. Had to quit early and won't get back to it for 5 days. I'm...

Sorry if this has been covered someplace else but... My tractor has ag couplers and I would like to rent an attachment with flat face couplers. Where is the best place to buy "plug and play" adapters? Do they work ok? Anything I should watch out for?

My MX4800 came with a "brush guard" that hinges out to open the hood. However, it's just a frame with no protection for smaller stuff like brush. The grill screen is plastic and I've already cracked it. I'm consideconsidering welding in some expanded metal mesh. How much do you think mesh...

The hinge pins are greasable but the piston pivots are not. I wish they were because they are also down in the dirt. Seemed to me that the way i was using it was fairly safe. Do y'all agree? I do hear what you are saying about compression forces. I'm also concerned about twisting force on...

It work ok. A lager blade might actually be better. Haven't torn it up yet. Largest hardwood root that i know I've cut was about 3.5" diameter. Also it would be better if it were set further away from the tractor making it easier to back up to a tree and make a cut on either side of it. I...

So when I purchased my Kubota MX4800 I also bought a Bradco Jaws large model. I have about 30acres of overgrown woodland that was poorly logged in the past. Buying the tree and post puller was a major gamble because I was not sure how well it would work especially not being on a skid steer...

So I have a new Kubota MX4800 and a Bradco Jaws tree and post puller. It works amazingly well but the biggest hardwood I can pull is 6 or 7 inches in diameter. I can use my subsoiler to loosen the soil around larger trees to get them out but it tend to get hung-up on lager roots. I have been...
