They do not come with the holes across the bottom. The teeth actually 'wrap' under the cutting edge and are fairly secure. I have a 66" wide bucket and I wanted it to be really secure, so I did drill the bar and bolted it to the cutting edge.

Not sure where your "area" is, but you might want to look into other brands like Branson, LS, Kioti, RK(TYM). You could probably get into a brand new similar sized machine for around the same price.

Good morning to all! Low of 35, going for a high of 65 today. We got one sprinkle last night, but not enough to get the bottom of the rain gauge wet. Precipitation chances are now gone.... the big drought continues...... Sleeping last night was not the easiest thing to accomplish.... too many...

Oh, and as you guys notice... I don't have to worry about pony-tails....

Storms / showers all around us.... not a drop on the homestead....

When my other son gets home from work, I'm going to tell him... "mom got mad at me and hit me with the cast iron pan"..... I will let him think about that for just a minute.....

Well, I posted this morning that I didn't know what today's agenda was.... I found out that information the hard way.... We were going to plant a couple of plants and needed to mix up some potting mix. The wifey asked if I could get here a pair of latex work gloves from the shop.... I had...

Roy, definitely good news on the eyes! Good excuse to just relax! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, to Mr and Mrs Bird. Drew, you'll get the hang of it.... maybe some sandals in the meantime? David has proven that we don't need enclosed shoes.....

Yes, I had a small 1500w in there.... I may have had the T-stat set too low.

No, the midPTO should be ready to do from the factory

Might look into LS also.... here is an example: https://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/farm-equipment/for-sale/25331685/2021-ls-mt357hc

Good morning to all! Low of 32, only going up to the high 50's today. A 60% chance of showers... I hope so, it's almost 45 days without any precip. Drew, hope you get back to your old self in no time! Relearning how to do things is a pain....no pun intended..... BEF, beautiful picture! Thanks...

Good morning! Yes, there are quite a few tractor brands out there and a BIG selection. To try and answer a few of your questions: Keep the zero turn.... you like using it and it takes care of mowing the 5 acres. A lot of tractors have the option of a mid mount mower (MMM), but will be...

The piranha tooth bar has many very good reviews. I almost purchased one a couple of years ago, but couldn't speak to anyone there, never got a phone or email reply to my questions. I opted to get a regular tooth bar from these folks... actually bought 2 from them (for different tractors)...

You did not get the 3 point set up on your MT125 when you purchased it? The 3 point stuff COMES WITH the tractor..... the BH is extra. I would be calling the dealer and demand the parts he "forgot" to give you with the tractor! ---- disregard if you purchased it from an individual. Either way...

Don't worry about them.... I am still waiting for for some update pics of the finish work. I think it is an awesome project!

Drew, I forgot to mention.... Good luck with the shoulder surgery.... I hope they get you fixed up good as new!

Good morning to all! Low of ? ..... don't know because I moved the temp module into the greenhouse.... in there it was 55. Cooler than I expected. We might have to do the "Mrs Eric plant shuffle" by tomorrow night.... temps forecasted to go back down to 32° Tue and Wed night.... then highs of...

Sure wish Ron would come back.... I / we truly enjoyed his posts and pics...

Spent most of the day planting 50 Austrian Pine seedlings in grow bags. They will spend full season in them, until at least next spring. I had to run out and get more potting mix.... I didn't get any pics today.... so tomorrow morning....

Randy, sorry to hear you are back in the hospital. Prayers and well wishes sent...priority!

Wng, the Hatch pepper plants are already about 6" tall and about to flower already.... they are liking the warmer temps in the greenhouse! I'll get pics tomorrow.

Check this one...

Yep, me too... just got the "524" error again

My neighbor put a top coat of 1/2" minus river pebbles.... He is constantly grading most of it back onto the driveway. You can't barely touch the gas without spinning out, let alone try and turn.... Basically driving on a bunch of marbles!

I found a used 24" wide kitchen wall cabinet at a thrift store for $15. Hung it up in the shop..... every tool manual, tractor / implement manuals, even all the receipts for any tools and tractor service stuff go in there.... nothing else. Whenever I find some relevant paperwork somewhere else...

Nice job! That should do you well!

I was really surprised at how easy it assembled. Online reviews had people complaining about parts, fittings, and taking 8-10 hours..... Start to finish, took about 4 hours. Wifey first started helping sorting the 50+ pieces, and helping hold together... then it got too tall for her to reach...

A very productive day! Greenhouse is assembled and secured! A few plants will be going in there tonight! (we have some golden willow clippings that we are rooting.

I bet those fittings will work perfectly for you David. I have a bunch of those for 1 1/4" pipe, left over from a 16' x 20' peaked canopy we used to have. I repurposed most all of the pipe (remember the front porch railings?). Those fittings are tough, especially if you anchor it as described.

Good morning to all! Low of 34, going up to 65. The weather guessers are saying some breezes today, windy tomorrow.... It was really windy with 45 mph gusts yesterday, but hope was on the horizon.... there were some isolated showers going all around us... we got about 10 drops, mostly just...

I was surprised a couple months ago when I decided to sell my tanks..... First a neighbor wanted them, and I was going to swap him for his time doing some welding for me.... after 6 months of waiting, he told me "never mind, go ahead and sell them"..... So I loaded them on a trailer and took...

Here is the diagram.... I have done better work...:rolleyes:

Just saw your post.... I will sketch out a simple diagram and post on here in a bit.... #2 was if you wanted to run normally off the well, using the tanks solely as backup. Essentially isolating the tanks and booster pump. #3 was including #2, being able to run off the tanks OR the well. #1...

I purchased one of these almost immediately after getting my tractor. I liked it so much that I bought another to put on the backhoe... https://www.concentricintl.com/product/440-premium-high-back-seat-ideal-for-ztrs-cordura-fabric/ Here is the best price I found now...

"willy I just seen Yanmar has a $3,000 cash rebate on some models until June 30, 2021" ........BUT.... still way more expensive than an LS.... just sayin'

I have a hydraulic top link on mine, just makes adjustments super easy on the fly. Example: Angle the box blade to scrape / collect material.... get to the end and turn around.... now adjust the box blade angle tilting back, with just the rear blade touching. This is done to "smooth" what you...

Like shooterdon said, look into other brands. They have better specs and features and are lower cost. My first LS subcompact (MT125) was $6 grand less than the local JD dealers 1025r.... and the LS specs out far better. The LS has the same Yanmar engine as the JD. The Kioti CS series is...

.5 to 1 inch is pretty big to get a good finish....as a base, it would work good. If the max was .5", I would jump on it immediately. Does the concrete have any fines in it? If your using it as a top dressing, it should really have a lot of fines and dust in it to lock in the chunks. Part of...

LS builds tractors for New Holland, I believe under the 70hp mark.

Congrats on your new toy....ehhh... I mean tool! Good looking tractor!

Yep.. same here, over the phone sight unseen... The 3 dealers I did go to locally treated me like crap, and wanted me to pay $6-7k more for their orange or green paint or red paint.... I got blue in the face! So I figured I may as well buy a blue tractor! I had such a positive experience with...

Yeah, getting tired of seeing the same post / links in about every thread asking about new tractors.....

Try these.... they beat pretty much all both in price and capabilities! https://lstractorusa.com/class/compact/

We had two 1750 gal storage tanks set up on our well system (when I was still using the well). Our first well went dry, drilled a second well 200' deeper. It produced 15 gal / min at first, but over 3 years, also went almost dry (maybe 10 gal per HOUR) At that time, set up a timer in...

The hinged rear blade really allows to do a "finish" on what you are grading. I do have a hydraulic top link, so makes it very easy to set the blade. I recently regraded and spread some road base on my neighbor's driveway. He was amazed at how smooth I got the drive, just driving back and...

Cool, (no pun intended).... I still haven't got around to welding it. Too many other things to do first. I appreciate the info / suggestions.

David, if you want a really good recipe for baked macs, let me know and I'll post it.... 3 cheeses, +BACON! We just made some this past weekend...mmmmmm

The base is leveled and compacted! WOOHOO! I am beat... even though slow and steady with frequent breaks was the norm. I was thinking of doing the paver stones, but tomorrow is another day. Those bags of sand somehow doubled their weight since I brought them home:oops:

David, I was first thinking of this one, but I would have to build a higher stem wall to boost it up higher. We decided to go freestanding. I believe they make some wider (6-8') too. I would definitely shop around, I got ours through HD for $125 cheaper than anywhere else. Same brand, same...

We probably won't be doing anything in winter except for some evergreen seedlings, which better be able to withstand the cold... Of course some veggies and flowers, but they will only live in there a short time. I figured the 4x6 PT base will hold it down, planning to screw the greenhouse to...

Yes, we have a remote thermometer that will be placed inside. I can see temps going through the roof (literally), especially with the intense sun at our elevation. I have been contemplating getting one of the auto openers for the vent. Maybe getting another greenhouse could be your next...

Good morning to all! Low of 26 this morning, but up to 44 already. Should see a high around 64. Supposed to get windy again for the next 2 days.... hard to build a greenhouse in wind..... It is definitely slow going with the greenhouse project, the base / foundation is the hardest part (I...

Yep, small erector set...:)...

Thanks, Paul. I will look them up.

Paul, is that a Kubota quick connect or an aftermarket one?

Good morning to all! Low of 25 last night, probably going to wreak havoc with all the new buds and flowers.... going up to 65 today, sunny. The weather guessers were wrong as usual.... the only precip we got was that light dusting of snow. The next 3 days of "good chances of rain" were a...

I have used the Rustoleum paint on some implements and it has held up remarkably well. They do sell a "professional" paint, which truly is better quality. Not sure if it is available up in Canada though...

Depends on what type of power beyond setup you have.... some have just 2 ports / hoses, some have 3. The type with 3 usually requires that 1 hose has to be reconnected back to a port when the BH is not in use. This type is a little more complicated to hook up valves, but can be done. A little...

Go for it! Years ago, (30 yrs) I had a 1700. Great tractor! Wish I still had it. I used to get a bottle of 'Gunk' and spray it all over the engine/ trans and let it soak in for a bit. Really greasy or dirty areas I would scrub with the degreaser. Then hit it with the pressure washer, getting...

Welcome to TBN!

Welcome to TBN! Lots of info here to get you going! Ask away!

Nice cabinet! Nice woodworking skills.

😬🤭

According to the picture, it should be IN FRONT of the seat, as Eric stated.... NOT behind it where the fill hole is

Any fix found by the OP? We would love to find out what happened.....

Yes, that little fuel shutoff solenoid could be the culpret.... any dirt in there and they clog up. Easy fix, unscrew the whole module from under the carb. The little piston / needle tip should be able to pull out of the housing. Clean it up (I used 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper), also clean inside...

Good morning to all! Low of 29, about an inch of wet snow overnight. The flowers that bloomed are now doomed! Hopefully they will re-bloom. The temp rose quickly, now at 42, and most of the snow is melting quickly. Randy, glad to hear you were able to get some rest. I bet that felt good...

Good morning to all! Low of 28, currently only 33, going for a high of 45. Heavy cloud cover, but no rain or snow so far.... hopefully we will get some. L4N, sorry to hear about the hospice problems. Our prayers are with you and family. Randy, take care.... not too much kidding with the...

Great looking tractor! Congratulations! Hope you find some more time to play...

Good morning to all! Low of 40, going to near 70 today. Wind was ripping all day yesterday along with a brown fog of dirt. Chance of rain tomorrow, maybe some snow tomorrow night. High for Saturday and Sunday will only be 45-47°, night time temps in the mid to high 20's.... what happened to...

Yep, you don't have to tell them the whole story.... " I had the tiller going and "Bam!" ... broken shaft... depends on the cost.... I would probably fix it if the parts weren't too expensive.

I like the instructions/ manuals that come as pictures only..... with arrows pointing to the parts to be assembled..... yeah, right! we do have a favorite pastime of reading the really poor "translated" instructions..... some of those are just downright funny!

Willy is just trying to boost his YouTube counts

As I recall, it was about 4-5 days before I got a shipping notification.

Got mine from my dealer.... In the LS section, somebody posted a link to a site where you can buy them.

Yes, the switch cutout is larger than the standard automotive rocker switches. I cannot recall the number of the correct switch size. There was a link someone posted to a supplier that sells the correct switches. Hopefully they will be along shortly with that link....

Good morning to all! Low of 28 this morning, only going up to 61.... seems chilly! My oh my, everyone has been busy! Took me a while to catch up.... now too much to remember to respond too.... I have still been battling the B/P issues.... nothing too extreme, but still a roller coaster of...

Wow, what was hooked up to it?

see if she can tolerate smoking pot... if not, maybe some edibles. I have been in the medical field (as well as my sister and my daughter).... I have seen many patients that have been dramatically helped by cannabis.

Sounds like a lot of "dead travel"..... When I had my 125, the joy stick had maybe 1" of play at most.... could really feather the movement Of the bucket. I would definitely call your dealer, could be a faulty valve. Don't forget you only have 1 year warranty on the loader....

Congrats on the new tractor!

Congrats on the new blue! They are great little workhorses! Some advice... go over ever nut and bolt that you can find and make sure they are tight. Also make sure all the grease points have been filled.

Yep,... LS Mtron makes the NH under 50hp. At least the last 4-5 years, maybe longer...

This place.... they are a JD dealer, but has an internet store: https://www.shopgreendealer.com/A-I-Products-Link-A-SLH01.html

It would drive me nuts if they were reversed.... I was just using the BH this past weekend.... probably had to move them up and down 30 times.... "push for down" is muscle memory....

Nice tractor by the way....

I would be more concerned about hauling it on a single axle trailer! Even if it was a 5K axle!

Take a picture of the decals and send it to the dealer..... I believe the owners manual shows the 'correct' way also. Have them fix it!

Anytime that I start thinking about how I may have purchased a "Lesser tier" tractor, I just go over to the Kubota or JD thread and read about the problems there...... I usually feel much, much better about my purchase. EVERY tractor brand is going to get a bad tractor or lemon going down...

Nope... takes a while to fill all those 'low spots' in the axle. When I had changed mine, did it nice and slow, took it up to the top of the fill hash marks and let it sit overnight. Checked in the morning.... a little lower, but still good. Used it a couple hours and miraculously was 1 1/2...

Yep... did that one time... I needed both sons to hold it up and me to get the bolts back in..... I will never ever do that again! LESSON LEARNED!

Good morning to all! Low of 54, already up to 63 outside, going for a high of 72. Breezes have started already, currently 15-20. Red flag warning starting by 11 am, gusts 50-55 mph, humidity 5-10%.... bad conditions. woke up quite a few times last night, but finding a position of comfort seemed...

That is terrible... they won't even make her comfortable... a disgrace of the medical community. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Well, an extra long PT session today.... they must want me to catch up...seemed to do OK during the session, but..... The knee is definitely aggravated and swollen again. Almost Deja-Vu of the last 2 surgeries.... do a few weeks of PT, seem to be improving good, then things go down hill... I...

RNG, nice area to ride. How much further can you go once the snow is cleared? Appears that it could have been a chilly ride.

Good morning to all! Low of 48, going up to high 70's. Wind comes in tomorrow, state-wide, gusts to 50. No precip. Eric, beautiful place! nice tractor too! How many acres (or do you call them hectares?) do you have?. Do you ever have to mow or do the sheep keep it well manicured? There is a...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! To Mr and Mrs BEF! we arethe youngsters on the block... only 38 years this August...

Good morning and HAPPY EASTER! The low only hit 38 last night, hopefully will stay above freezing now. High today around 80. Next couple of days have high winds forecasted as some weak storms pass by.... more blowing dirt... I was able to gain a couple extra hours of sleep last night...

Drew, I showed the wifey your pics of Bowman's tower.... she recognized it right away, exclaiming "WOW! That's a blast from the past! I hope your plantings survived the cold. BEF, nice job on the lawn! Looks beautiful!

Good evening to all! High temp today hit 83! Dry, dry, and more dry..... no precipitation in the forecast, well maybe a couple of days at 10-20%. I have been battling a few problems.... the knee swells, then not swelled, but far more painful.... Some days better than others. PT has been slow...

I have about 10 pairs of these.... left over from work.... I got a uniform allowance every year, so always got 2-4 pairs. https://www.galls.com/propper-ripstop-bdu-uniform-trousers?PMOPV1=LAPD&PMOPV2=LG&PMOPV3=REG&PMSRCE=GAPLA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIle-m6qTj7wIV8AOzAB1y4wJJEAQYCCABEgKxM_D_BwE I have...

Definitely a nice setup!

Either one will work fine.... I ripped out a whole line of junipers that had been growing for 25 years with my BH on a 25hp CUT. Both those machines would make it easy work.... well to dig them out anyway.

Yes, but not hydraulic pressure to run the transmission, only to lubricate the gears. HST tractors loose 2-4 PTO HP due to parasitic loss from the HST

Welcome to TBN! You will enjoy your new tractor for sure!

I have a 6', my 3025 runs it no problem. I wouldn't attempt 2' high grass, but that's not what a finish mower is for! I didn't need / want a super duty mower ... I was more after cost.... got one of these: https://betstco.com/product/fh-fm180/ Only used it last year, but very happy with it...

Do the "shopvac trick" when doing the hydraulic and HST filters. You place or tape a shopvac nozzle over the oil fill port, turn on the shopvac .... remove one filter at a time... you will get drips and loose the quantity of oil in the filter. At most, a couple quarts will be lost using the vac...

Here is a link with multiple sizes: https://www.agristoreusa.com/collections/hydraulic-side-links I just installed this one on my LS, (about the same size as the CK2610): https://www.tractorjoe.com/slh01-hydraulic-side-link-cylinder-cat-0-base-end-w-clevis-rod-end-2-bore-1 It has an overall...

Welcome to TBN! You might want to post your problem in the JD thread.... might get a better response.

For what it's worth, I was just talking to my dealer earlier this week and the subject of the Bad Boy tractors came up..... He said he was dropping the Bad Boy line due to poor communication, poor parts supply / distribution, and poor payment history. They are apparently going to sell...

My LS has the opposite of yours.... push forward to lower, pull towards you to raise. I went over to the neighbors, his are the same as mine, but different tractor /BH (still an LS). When I had my 125, they operated the same way... push is down. It truly is a simple fix, just switch the hoses...

What will you be asking for it? I am in NM also and may be interested.

Well, it is your choice, and the price difference might not be much where you are, but LS is substantially less in cost than NH in our area.... I went to our "local" NH dealer to look at the Workmaster 25 TLB. They wanted $28,900 for it. I ended up getting the LS XG3025 TLB (same identical...

When I started negotiating with my current dealer, he was about $2000 higher than the "big internet dealer". He actually said he didn't know how that dealer was selling so low, being it was right at his 'cost' from LS. He asked if I would wait a day before I made a decision, so he could call...

Oh, and also the displacement size of the motor on the Kioti is around 100ci, the Kubota is 68 ci.

The equivalent Kubota tractor to the Kioti CK2610 is the L2501. Not saying the B2601 isn't a great tractor, but the Kioti is a slightly bigger frame, like the L.

So, my son contracted a couple of guys to come and dig out a lot of dirt that blew into the landscape beds after a recent week of almost consistent dust storms. Around 10 yards of dirt. They showed up today with a JD 2023 (about the same size as the 424). They basically got the tractor in close...

You guys got me interested.... So I called my dealer today. He is going to send me a thumbdrive with the service manual. I am also a great distance away and do my own maintenance / repair, so that may be a factor.

When I first started tractor shopping 4 years ago, I wanted to "keep it local", (local being 35-40 miles away). So, the first place I went was to a JD dealer.... they acted like they were really bothered when we went in only looking for a SCUT TLB. I couldn't even get someone to answer a few...

If it's from the dealer in Winesburg, Ohio, the plumbing for the grapple is from the rear remotes.... not a true 3rd function. It doesn't appear to be in bad condition, price is "fair".... they should be able to do a little better, especially since your trade value is kinda low. Either way, I...

I have the LS XG3025 (now known as the MT225HE) which is the same exact tractor as the NH Workmaster (LS makes the NH). I now have 225 trouble free hours on it. A Great tractor for sure! I was also looking at the CK2610, and was actually preferring to get the Kioti at the time. The 2610 has a...

Yep, if you have "in and out" ports for the remotes and a valve to control them, you're set to go! I just did the same type of setup. I have 2 pair of remotes, so a side link will be put on shortly also. Here is a link to a supplier with great prices...

Yep, did the same thing... just purchased the chain hooks and put them on the equipment trailer. Now I use the WDH on both. Makes a BIG difference!

Congrats on getting a new tractor! I was originally going to get my tractor from Bruno's. They do have good pricing. On the bad side, I have heard....repeat ...heard... not first hand experience, that after the sale, customers have had problems to get them to provide any parts for warranty or...

Good morning to all! Well the snow didn't materialize overnight.... just delayed, now expecting it this afternoon. We had some strong winds overnight with just a little snow which is plastered on the east facing vertical surfaces... strange looking. Still windy/gusty and cold... finally reached...

Welcome to TBN! Lots of great info here!

Any progress on the top?

The scarifiers will work. You may have to make a few passes depending on how thick the grass is, but it will get easier each pass. Since there is only a limited number of scarifiers, spaced wider apart, try and line up consecutive passes "in between" the previous pass. There will be a quick...

Good luck! Looks like you will have an awesome homestead when you're done. Hopefully it will dry out some for you and will get a little easier.

Don, I am assuming that PT will continue as scheduled, as long as the edema decreases. The circulatory specialist has to send the report over to the ortho specialist, then he has to sent a report back to PT.... hopefully it will get done in a reasonable amount of time....

Very nice setup! Go have some fun!

(y) That is a great idea! .... now you added another "to do" on my list ....THANKS!

Spare parts for what? A boat? A shipping container?

I bought one of those aluminum clamp on bars. Works ok for those quick cross cuts on a panel. The only problem I can see using it for your purpose would be the clamp handle.... you would need enough space to push the handle 90° to the edge to tighten it up. I would get a long piece of aluminum...

I had my tractor shipped from my dealer (500 miles away) just under 2 years ago. We had struck a deal about the shipping when we were negotiating the tractor package, splitting the cost. He estimated the cost to be $1500, based on other shipments he made at the time. So, I paid $750.... it...

Back from the Dr's.... good news, no blood clots found. No other speculation from the doc as to the cause of the edema.... oh well. On to the next...

Here is another place for tooth bars.... I have gotten 2 from them. Good quality and fast shipping! https://www.neatfarms.com/Bucket-Tooth-Bars/Heavy-Tooth-Bar---2AW

Paul (popgadget).... my SIL lives just outside of Perkasie (really outside of the Dublin area)... she gets her vaccine shot tomorrow. Strange being that she is only 58 and doesn't have any underlying conditions other than being a smoker. Not sure how Bucks Co is scheduling....

Good morning to all! Low was only down to 36, high today around 54. Tonight snow is expected to arrive around 3 am, now forecasted for up to 8". Tomorrow the high will only reach 27.... WHAT HAPPENED TO SPRING? Prayers sent out to the others here needing.... seems like a lot needed all at once...

Oh, forgot to mention...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SOPHIE!

Good evening to everyone! Took me a while to catch up on the on-going's..... The trees here are popping their buds.... of course, we are now forecasted to get 6"+ of snow tomorrow night..... Well, I have had a major setback... last week the knee progress started going in reverse... after PT...

Congrats on the new tractor! Very nice indeed!

Oh, it was definitely an "outlier" for sure! The cost of my tractor to buy new had increased $1,000 since I had purchased it, so basically mine was $1500 less than a new one. Then I made a "package" deal with him.... a 7K x16' trailer (used 1 year), a finish mower, box blade, and PHD. (I had...

I normally don't agree with Jeff on multiple topics, but I have to admit that what he is saying, is correct. Keep the big tractor for the farm. Get something for the home.... I am not a fan of zero turns.... I would get a SCUT for the homestead....far more versatile for the projects around the home.

Oh.... wait a minute... I see something wrong! there isn't any dirt on it! :D

Really? I have done a complete septic system, full site grading and foundation for my new house, all the trenches for utilities, moved all the materials for the house from shed to building site, and cut in and graded the driveway, then graded / spread all the roadbase and top gravel.... ALL...

Wow, I am a member of 3 credit unions.... none of which charge me for ANYTHING! No fee checking, transfers, ECH transfers, NOTHING! I even get a small pidlance of interest on allof the accounts... I have my truck financed through one... 2.49%.... You might want to shop around some more. We...

Congrats on the new tractor! That will be a nice setup! Post pics when you get it!..... you know thats a requirement.... no pics and it didn't really happen (y)

I know for sure that the LS ones that you listed don't have the linked throttle. I believe the CK2610 has it as an option, not sure if it's available on the 2510

Yes! Contact dealer immediately! They did not set it up properly.... one side or both of the mounts are misaligned. My neighbor had the same problem with his... they had to loosen every part of the loader mounts on flat level area and retighten.

That's a great price! I paid that for just my Cat 1 cylinder... plus another $55 for the hoses.

A REAL knowledgable wood floor expert CAN blend a refinished spot that you would never see. The problem is FINDING that expert. It may cost 60-70% of doing the whole floor if they do it right! I have seen multiple spots on a floor repaired that would never be seen... I have also seen some...

Paint and decals.... just sayin'... o_O on a more serious note, the loaders are from different manufacturers.

Here is a link to a really good comparison chart to save you some researching: https://www.kenotractors.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/2515R-2515H-Comparison-Chart.pdf

With the tractors that you mentioned you looked at, the Branson out specs all of them. It's the heaviest tractor, has the most lift capacity, and is reasonably priced. If you are considering Kioti, Look at the CK2610. Another very capable tractor that would suit your needs. It is in the same...

Well, don't leave us hangin'.... what did you get?

Sounds like a great deal! Go work it and have fun!

Works for me....

Have you owned an LS, or a Branson? My LS has been flawless... I know people that have Kubota and JD (neighbors)... I can work circles around them... out lift, out dig their bigger machines... I also know people that have LS tractors and have some issues... along with the Kub, and JD owners...

Not sure if you have the $$$ (about $650), but it is a fairly simple install to do true rear remotes. My BH on my 225e is plumbed with just 2 hoses to run off the remotes. One is a detent... put it in detent and the BH works. The 3 point works all the time... even if the BH is plugged in.

Yeah, something isn't adjusted right.... there should be plenty of rod left in the tube. Maybe the tube can be reversed?

At least they are not plastic ride-on toys.... I will go hide also... 😲

Agree! I haven't had any traction issues using R4's. Even clearing snow off a 2400' long driveway .... 18" worth... just kept on pushing it no problem.

Yes, the tractors you listed will do the jobs described, but just a little bit bigger may provide some added weight, bigger tires, more ground clearance. For example, going up from the Kioti CS2510 to the CK2510.... a bit bigger, more capable, but not too big. Another example, the LS MT125...

????.... is the beard the landscape? .... I am lost...

Always a good idea....think about what you are doing.... it WILL save your life! I bet it didn't take you that much longer ... plus you got to play with other toys!

Congrats on the new tractor! Nice package!

Big difference in frame size of the 225-S.... that's the equivalent of the XJ2025 size. The MT 225E /HE is the same frame as your 240. The remote kit for the 225-S is only one pair.... that is disappointing.

Congrats! Nice looking setup! Only one problem... there isn't any dirt on it!:giggle:(y)

Good morning to all! Low of 32, high of only 47 expected today. At sunrise, there was a large band of clouds off to the east. It disappeared within an hour. So much for any precipitation happening! I must be compensating for the knee....now I have really bad jolting pain across my lower back...

Unfortunately yes, the snow and most of the precipitation will go just north of us.

Anxiously awaiting your progress report. I have been contemplating solar for a few years, but it was always too expensive to pull the trigger. Good luck!

Welcome to TBN from the high dessert of NM! You will wonder why you waited so long to get a tractor!

Yep... they are the one!

Basically all of the postings above happened to me also.... the wifey and I stopped into the local green dealer as the first stop.... looking for a 1025r. They couldn't be bothered to come out to show us, just pointing us to the row of tractors. Then it was like pulling teeth to get them to...

My neighbor has the 225-S and wanted the rear remotes.... unfortunately they were not available when he got the tractor.... so can't help you there. New Holland does not have the twin ..... yet.... The 225-S has become one of the top sellers for LS. I'm sure that NH will jump on the bus...

Good morning to all! Low of 35, going up to 60 today. Windy again, but now they are again forecasting a 50% chance of rain / snow for tomorrow.... that would be nice.... Buppies, glad the procedure went well, prayers sent for a speedy recovery! Good that you are pain free.(y) Ron, nice pic...

Welcome to TBN great place to gain the info that you need!

Dzień dobry!... welcome to TBN!

Welcome to TBN!

well, there's your first problem!😲 The 125 is an awesome machine!

Here is a recently posted thread with adding rear remotes on a Kubota.... has a similar hose setup as your 125... https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/rear-remotes-installed-on-kubota-bx25d-video.435313/

Here is a new post of someone adding rear remotes to their Kubota... you could do something similar, then add hoses up to the front. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/rear-remotes-installed-on-kubota-bx25d-video.435313/

I have one of these that I use on my string trimmer. I have used and abused it for about 10 years and can't kill it...

Like avenger said, it would be simple if you had the rear remotes. The cost of a third function kit would be the same if not more than adding the pair of rear remotes. yes, you can tap into your existing plumbing, but by the time you buy all the required pieces / parts, you would be at least...

Found it! https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/massey-ferguson-owning-operating/388078-almost-complete-2-spool-3rd.html

Yes you can, but it is a bit complicated.... you have to add spool valves, plumb it in before the three point, and still have the return to tank bypass hose hooked in. I am assuming you have the "three hose setup" for your BH. There is a thread in the Massey Ferguson forum in which a guy set up...

Yes, definitely get the BH ! You will find many uses for it. Maybe try and get the dealer to throw in the LS thumb for it to "make the deal". The LS thumb bolts right on without any modification in about 5 minutes.... they normally sell for around $350-400. Adds another level of usefulness to...

If it were me, KTAC would be the way to go.... covers EVERYTHING! I wish I could get it for my tractor!....

David, maybe you could buy Eric's Grillo mower.... https://www.stihlshopchristchurch.co.nz/shop/Product/Ride+on+Mowers/Grillo/GRILLO+CLIMBER+9.18+RIDE+ON.html

..... it's from jumping those puddles....

Ken, sorry to here you are still in the doghouse.... must have to do with a moon cycle or something.... I too was on the carpet in the dog house for the last few days.... I'm pretty sure I am allowed back in the house... for now....

Oops... hit post before I was done... Don, my Craftsman had a problem with the seat safety switch, just wouldn't make contact. I removed it from the seat, put a small block of wood and compressed the switch.... then duct taped it tight... It's been that way for 4-5 years now... never had...

Good morning to all! Low of 30, high of 55 today. We had rain / snow in the forecast for Saturday, but now it is gone! RNG sent it too far north! Now there is just 4 days of 45-55 mph winds! Yesterday we had 4 or 5 total brown outs with blowing dirt! ..... NOT happy.... Drew, I have been...

Not sure if it would do any long term damage, probably not. You are not applying any pressure to go down, basically just releasing the fluid in the 3 point system. That is why the 3 point is ALWAYS the last item in the hydraulic loop, it drains directly to the tank. yes, other tractors are...

I was able to get a "starting point" with that model number from my dealer. When he quoted me a price for the side link, he listed that number on the quote. Also, the cylinder from the "greendealer" come with 2 angle adapters to hook the hoses to.

Sent you a PM with some info. Here is another site with more info... https://www.tractorjoe.com/slh01-hydraulic-side-link-cylinder-cat-0-base-end-w-clevis-rod-end-2-bore-1

Yes. The mod " holds" the lever all the way down, allowing the implement to drop the full range that is mechanically permitted.

Today is first day of PT, well, an evaluation at least.... another session scheduled for tomorrow to actually do something.... Also need to go to the grocery store, the pre-surgery stockpile has finally dwindled down. Shouldn't be too big an order. The side link for the tractor should arrive...
