What is the length difference between a 5' and a 6'? It is what affects maneuverability. Isn't it. Is the difference so significant?

Yes, thank you, i have 3 parts like this to maintain 15-20 acres combined. The rest is hay fields about 20-25 acres and some parts open flat spaces with just grass which is easy to mow with ZT. My main problem is this wooded area. It is steep sometimes, not very even ground where ZT jumps too...

so, where does the resistance come from? Can it be you overload it somehow? Also, what i can see on the picture , but it might be deceiving, the lower pulley groves are narrower. Don't know if it is true or if it is important. Also, from my old mechanical days i remember that overtightening...

I had a good luck with local Napa. Local dealer: Little Tractor & Equipment Company Also ones i bought online, but then you need to know all the specs. Something like this: Made to Order Hydraulic Hose Assemblies | Discount Hydraulic Hose - NonTM - Hose %26 Tubing&utm_term=Custom Hydraulic...

Does the lower pulley spins freely when there are no belts installed? Do hummers installed the right way? To me it looks like excessive resistance, you just need to find out why.

Some firewood

Pulled one more.

I guess, you skipped my post where i told that currently i use ZT, but the problem is my back, ZT has much tougher ride for me and my back is not holding it anymore. The flail mower IMO is overkill for what i have to do . Also, if you think it is tight, it is impression picture gives. It is...

Here is pretty much what i have to deal with. Some places have a little more grass. Last time i mowed it at the end of march, beginning of April. With this year's heat i doubt i'll need to mow it till next spring

No flail mowers for me unless you offer to subsidy one for the team LOl.....I'll gladly report the outcome with pictures. Seriously, read my post #9.

Dont know anything about CAT 2. What i know his RC has 3 ears on each side for some reason. All other things i need to remove my backhoe and try i guess. I'll go tomorrow to try the pins first. If they fit, i'll remove the BH and try to attach it. If they dont fit, i'll ask another neighbor who...

I'm not going to cut much grass. I let my neighbors do it for hay. what i need it for is I have about 10-15 acres of heavily wooded area which i want to keep clean. I clean it 1 or two times a year. Little 6 month old saplings, hardly any grass over 10-15" high and some black berry bushes at the...

The RCR1872 landpride is 737 LB where 2515 lift capacity is 3306LB. 4.5 times more so, we are good here( it is about your note how much it can carry) RCR1872 is rated for 20-65HP tractor HP not PTO HP, and even if PTO, 2515 has 21HP PTO we are good here as well. So, im still lost, where is the...

Why?

A re you a 2515/3515 with 6 ft cutter? Interesting data. Were can i get those numbers. how is 2400 lb was calculated? Land pride for ones. Look the link for specs. I just dont understand why the HP requirements are different for Landpride and bushog for instance given all other specs are...

I'm trying to sent PM to the boss. LOL.... through the forum using my comp. I dont know what it is tapa-mapa means

Here what i get

Are there? Or if you have 5 ft, do you think it can handle 6 footer?

before tearing your tractor apart just wait till the rain stops and there is enough light, go and check again where it comes from. It might be noting (most likely) and while it is reining watch the Olympics with a couple of cold ones.

Love it :" Select a suitable attaching hole..."... and which one is "suitable???" Reminds me about my GF from 45 years ago... 🤧

Easy solution without changing anything : I guess your wife, when she collected a big pile of straw infront of the rake, she wanted the rake go over this pile and shortened the top link too much. Just explain to her what happen and ask her to pay attention on how much she can retract it to avoid...

Actually, the firs time in my life i have the greatest neighbors all around. Also they always ask me to trap foxes, coyotes, ground hogs and such when they became problem. Just last week i trapped 9 groundhogs from under one of my neighbor's garage. Before it another one had her chickens...

Yep, with my blown L4 and L5 i could not do anything at all. Now the heavies thing i have to lift is the chain to secure the stumps while transporting them to the burn pile.

Here is what my manual says. It is three hole but you probable can get the idea. Also, i vaguely remember there was an extended discussion on this forum abut this topic. EDIT: I found some discussion. It is not what i remember reading but there is some helpful info as well...

Actually the middle one is more common

Easy fix. She might retracted upper link too much.

If you soot a skunk in the head it will definitely spray, period. You need to get him suffocate, they never spray, How you do it, is your choice, inject acetone to the lungs (professional trappers do it), drown it, shoot in the lungs (drowning in his own blood if you think of it) or kiss it till...

It is why the Honda is for on the side ;) Honda's bed, then on the roof, then you are in business. Dont forget to load all the tools in to the cage before lifting it

Can you clean the cover and post a picture of it? I highly doubt it is bent for two reasons: 1- If it is a manufacturer's defect, why it did not leak for 17 years you own the tractor? 2. if it is bent indeed, so, it is something recent because you just noticed it, meaning there is a much, much...

Yes. I took time to clean all the dirt, made it easier to lift.

Last week was replacing my blown barn door motor. Love this DIY. 275 gall tote cage.

Started pulling stumps from dead trees i fell last month. This one is the smallest. Took about 2 hours The rest is going to be more difficult. They are larger and located on 20-25 degree slope.

Right, for some reason shooting in the head makes them spray, go for lungs instead. They don't spray this way. I also was surprised but apparently they do not spray while suffocating. Lang shot or conibear work well for me

I beg difference. I use marshmallow in my traps and caught everything including possums, coons, skunks' and even one time a feral cat. Everything in dog proof traps. The conibear 220 works best for them. They never spray. And it is true, if they cannot lift the tail, they would not spray. Dump...

This one a real genius. Virtually new condition LOl....

I think this red paint is not regional. Wander why it is always red. At least this guy asks only $300 for his paint job

Just saw this. Another one with the same design as RCR1872 and SQ720. Rhino 172 with reinforced deck. I guess they made at the same factory

Thanks, after your post i looked closer and indeed the 720 is built much stouter. However, they have all other parts the same, i looked the gearbox, same number as some others which a care to check. So, the main difference is in the deck build i guess. Definitely given a choice 720 is the way to...

I want to buy a 6' rotary cutter. I found on the local Facebook market place two of those. The condition is similar when for SQ720 the owner asks $100 more. $1250 vs. $1350 When i could find specs for SQ172 nothing about SQ720. Is there any difference? I know the SQ172 has 10GA deck and cuts up...

I put a freshly charged pair sometime at the end of May. I use it at least one time a week transfer 15 gallons of gas to my tritoon. So far still runs strong. Btw, in my case the vdc did not work.

More than a year ago, ( I want to say two but don't remember exactly), i bought one at HF. It stopped working after the first run. HF would not accept the returns, they said to call HQ. I called them and they returned my money without need to ship it back. So, now i had a free toy to play...

Yes, for me extremely difficult part was last 6 months when she was slowly dieing, the look on her face when she could not get up to go outside to pee, the shaim on her face, she felt like she was betraying me or disappointing me. I won't be able to go through this again.

Yes,

I picked my last dog from a kill shelter. She was the best dog i had ever have. 13 years of pure joy. Not a single time she upset me. in 2019 she got a brain tumor. I still canot make myself to get another dog. I felt like i lost a child/best friend. It never happened with my other dogs before...

Many say the best oil what your dealer uses.... My dealer uses Universal O'Reilly hydraulic oil. Does it mean it is the best/manufacturer recommended?;) BTW, i heard that Travelers Universal rated higher than Universal O'Reilly. Not sure if it is true, just for some reason it pops in my head...

No, it is not, how can you lose in translation to change oil in 500 but filter in 550? Did they forget to translate one dot to another? or what translation is needed for there is no recommended oil changes after 600 hours. Is there is anything in Korean about it? After all problems that i had...

Yes, i would, but it is not what i'm talking about. Also, my tractor 2515R does not have replaceable filter, another mistake.

Just noticed how negligently it was made. It is disrespect IMO 1. What is "Fuel-Oil element"??? 2. On 500 hour service they recommend replacing the oil. But the filter you supposed to replace at 550 hour mark, really??? 3. No services should be performed after 700 hours and no oils/filter...

Looky here, been discussed before Brush Guards

OK, finally the issue was resolved. The problem was in the new, apparently defective ignition coil. What i noticed, when i was able to start the saw, i was never able to get more than 8K RPM. A Google search show potential coil problem. Ordered another new one. After a few coughs the saw...

Ok, thanks for all replies and advice. My roof is really steep, so I guess either way is good. So, I will do as locals do. Thanks again.

Is there any advantages? I guess the right question is: What is the best way of doing it?

In CA EVERY roof has valley flashing. In 13 years as a real estate appraiser I never saw other way. Here in KY, 90% or more weave the shingles. Now i want to put a new roof on my house and need to make an educated decision.

I want to replace my roof. I noticed some roof contractors make valley with metal (sorry, i dont know the terms, i guess it is valley flashing but might be wrong) and some just overlap shingles. Does it make any difference and which one is the way to go in your opinion?

I do not discriminate by the species, gender or skin color, i hate and kill them all regardless with my smoker gadget.

Just opened the carb. It is full of gas, so it pulls well. Installed a new NGK Spark instead of original champion. It starts now, but it gets only up to 8k rpm and doesn't work even no matter the High adjustment. Tried everything from 1/4 turn to 4 turns out. No luck. Also, works well only...

The carb is new, the old one did the same, the line is new, the filter is new, the spark plug is new, coil is new. There is a strong spark when i try with inline tester and with the plug out. Interesting note, the spark plug is absolutely dry light brown color. It seems to me the fuel is not...

As the title says, when it is cold starts right up. works for 5-10 min then dies and would not start again. Let it cooll for 20 minutes, starts and dies almost immediately. Next day starts from the first or second pull. Put a new carb, same thing. Spark plug is dry and light brown color. Spark...

You don't know for what it was sold, the only thing you know is how much it was asked for. Questionable value of information, and i'd say a misleading info. A simple example: XYZ market value is $100. A seller decided to ask $300. It was sitting on the market forever. Than Kennyd being an...

two notes so far 1. shouldn't "sold" be deleted/disappear/archived? 2. There are 30plus pages of items, but looking on the left side it shoes only 1 tractor and zero other items. do i misread something?

If nicotine doesn't have any negative effects interesting to know the statistics what percentage of smoking ppl live over 80yo vs ones who never smoked. The fact that one lives longer does not make any stat, just exception.

Wow, do you have names ?

i have great experience with those, one pair i installed on my duck boat, another on my pontoon, another on my motorcycle. Cheap and extremely powerful. There are many variations of them on Amazon/ here is the link : LINK I have no affiliations with them, just a happy customer.

100% agree,

I think it depends on the area, when I was living in SFBA the CL was the thing and i never heard of FBMP, i even did not have FB account but when i moved to KY, no one heard of CL, everything is FBMP.

Looking at the operator no wander you fell in love... looks really tempting, go for it, forget the backhoe ;)

Sounds interesting, go for it

Guys on this forum might be able to help you with correct dimentions Bolens G274

A boxer would fit your bill. I have experience with them. My last one white was exceptionally good.

Buy a branson or TYM and remove all this bs. Plenty of info how. Too bad I did not know it before.

Tramp's fault

Today my dealer brought his mechanic with an inspection camera. Mechanic looked inside and the leak is well above the 4wd shaft. They want to split the tractor next week. It is going to be the second split of my tractor in less than 300hour total time. Last time it was split at 80 hour mark

OK, I see. Asked because I thought about it for the tractor and my utv, and while making research most ppl recommend an additional battery installed in parallel. looks sharp BTW.

Do you take the power from the tractor battery or you installed additional somewhere?

Yes, I opened it before writing, and I saw the seal holder, but I'm not sure this is the problem because as much as I can see everything in the bell housing is covered with oil. The dealer going to bring his mechanic with a camera. I hope it is this #5&#6.

I think the #5 or #6 or both are the problem, not the front diff seal.

Just found the time too look in to it. Opened the bell /shroud of the coupler closest to the front deferential. Everything is as dry as a bone, so, the leak is not from the front deferential seal. Any thoughts?

Make a counter offer to both of them, 55%+75=130%. ;)

Could a neighbor poison him? If yes, your wife will never find anything because the dog ate everything. Unfortunately some neighbors are very capable. Or probably a poisoned rat. Anyways, if it is poison you won't find it because it is eaten already

Nowadays you never know who makes what. I recently bought a JUKI Serger for my wife. It was supposed to be 100% Japan made machine. So was stared in the living, on the box, insulation ad so on. Only on the bottom of the box was a little peace of paper. Quality control sort signed by Tran...

Since I moved to W KY, it happened every time, now I decided if I can't do it myself lot it rote.... And there is catch 22, the ones who are good or even average, not avaliable till the next century, but if someone is available right away or the next week means they are real bad ones.

I have tubbed tires. Pumped up to 37PSI they hardly can handle the weight of the loader, and when i turn right or left it is pain to watch 🤣 i'd install wheels made for brush cutters if i saw any future in this project. So far for what little needs i have in a front mounted brush cutter, i'm...

No problem, maybe someone from the US can chaim in, tho it says made in Korea and all bolts are metric, i'm sure it made in China with Korean labels because the zikrs they use have somekind of the thread used only in China.

Thanks, while you were typing it i found it on my comp. sorry, i'm too old to remember my name, let alone some manual downloaded 15 times in to my "download" folder Yes, it is an easy one, i'll order the seal and do it. Tired of spotted floor in my barn. BTW, maybe you know the thread of the...

To pull the shaft I need to remove 5he front end, right! Do you have a link to manual?

Wanted to ask, how difficult to replace this front diff seal? Any ideas?

Crain does not drink beer

It is my thought also but I don't have one to try. Anyway, it is useful for some applications, especially when the brush is really thick, I was lifting it high and slowly letting it down, work slow but efficiently. Also cleaned banks of my ponds. Worked well without getting my ZT stuck...

There is no exposure because it completely enclosed by metal skirt on the sides and the back and rubber skirt on the front. not like a regular brush cutter, everything is falling down.

This is the flow with my design, it has only original pneumatic wheels, they are not pivoting and they are on the side, so, they cannot hold the weight of the FEL and they tend to run off the rims when i turn because it sways too much. Another point is, on flat ground it would work well, but if...

I think it is the same approach as i did.

way to go, order one ;)🤣

It rans buy 4 cycle motor, the 3rd function flow is usually not enough to spin the blades tho i read somewhere there is a company makes them for FFL. Maybe this https://www.ironcraftusa.com/x-treme-duty-direct-drive-brush-cutter/

It is a gas engine, you cannot tilt it too much hence deprive it from oil. Remember, it is a poor men's brush cutter, not a reach men front attached flail mower.

I had a swisher brush cutter sitting in my barn. It is a good thing, but it is hard to use in tight places or where the brush is very thick. So, made some improvements. I had a patch 20x50 yards of really thick bushes which i did not had courage to approach. Today i did it!!! This is after...

Not anymore ;)

Here is what I done to my Branson today : 🤣 :mad:

Yes I asked about parts themselves. Too bad it is impossible to buy them online

Were are you guys getting parts besides the dealer?

Great tip, I always struggle with the tank while fueling and completely forgot about this hook. Thanks for the reminder :)

Indeed, at first I thought it was really high, then I spent 2 hours looking for cheaper. The cheapest one I found was $785 plus $35 shipping plus tax. Here was 700 no tax(I have AG exempt), no shipping, just 15 minutes drive each way.

Yes, a two spool kit OEM from Branson/TYM. From my dealer. $700 OTD

Probably, but all those discussions do not prove you are right and the guy is a cheat, it is only personal opinions. besides my experience is exactly the same, only without exact numbers, i tried kioti, kubota and branson side by side and I felt significant difference in performance, BUT THE...

You know exactly which part. The one I left in your comment, the part that you insist the guy is cheating. So, how do you know?

Just curious, how do you know?

He did not ask for experience nor opinions, he asked about the difference, an it was answered already. And if he want to see performance difference, this is a good start. BTW. my experience the same

He actually asked what was the difference between the H and R, not what tractor to buy. I tried both, for me it is a day and night, it is why I have what I have ;)

I just moved here 2 years ago, i have 60 acres of land very far from any civilization, see any human ones a week the most, love it here and i don't care how much they weight since i do not have to lift them. Let them be, free country. I see through them and don't notice, but when i finally see...

See post#4 they use same filters. According to the specs the TG3985 has the best filtration

Installed OEM rear remotes and hydraulic top link. now waiting for the hydraulic side link to arrive.

Not for this guy, he is soon full of it, no amount of compression would hurt him

Interesting if the main was also leaking or they changed it just incase.

So, they changed both crankshaft seals. Interesting why they changed the front one. I guess they know something, otherwise the company would not pay for it. Just a guess.

I have 2 types of ibc totes, one is 275 gallon. My tractor can lift it even with green wood overloaded to the top of the triangle cover. Another is 330 gallon, my tractor hardly can lift it with the green wood filled to the top of the cage. But when it filled to the top of the cover and dries...

I have Branson 2515 with BH150 backhoe. It is a subframe model. The question is, when i attach the backhoe, should i extend the top link so it pushes on the backhoe or should i shorten it, so it pulls the BH towards the tractor. To keep it lose, the BH has too much play and jumps around, feels...

Everything else is dry as a bone, when i opened the weep plate, it was wet inside with oil. Where it came otherwise? I looked around, no other signs of leaking oil. What is more interesting, it was leaking for 3 days, then it stopped for sometime, then started again. Now there is no new spots...

I guess it was discussed and there are many designs, but for some reason i could not find where to put it. Just wanted to share my design with was easy to make and works very well for over 8 month already and countless cords of wood.

I had a couple of trees fallen in the storm. My daughter volunteered to help me to do the most difficult part 🤣

Here is my solution, extremely easy to use. When i need it, i just bring it close to the back door of the house. Some of them i got for free, some for $20 The 275Gallon ones is enough for 3 weeks, the 330 gallon i don't know yet, i just loaded them this summer. They are 2025 stock.

Spent about 20 minutes today and $13 on Fan installation. I know it is a child's game but it is what i was doing before splitting some wood. Connected to the running lights harness (rear running lights went to my "I'll give it to the buyer when i sell it" pile on the next day after delivery)...

Are they connected that it comes out of the bell housing? And i think the gear oil W80 is not red, is it?

I thought 2515 has only motor oil and transmision/gydraulic oils, am i wrong again?

I want 25hp tractor. If I wanted more hp, I'd buy 85hp or more.

Why do you think this is the input shaft and not the camshaft rear seal? BTW, on my tractor they changed everything on 180H mark because the through barring was bad, actually the sleeve of the barring had smaller OD and the bearing made loud rattling/chattering nose when the clutch pedal was...

Just saw your post. Last week I found spots under my tractor. It is a little over 200 hours. Exactly as yours. Coming out of the weep hole. Mine for some reason looks reddish, not black as the motor oil, not transparent as transmission. I haven't spoken with the dealer yet. Letting him get...

Yes, the dealer takes care of everything, but it is still, very frustrating. Yesterday the dealer brought the new cylinder, we replaced it. The issue is still there, the boom jumps on the swing, the TYM say it is supposed to be like this. My dealer organized to see a couple of his customers...

That is right, not a BH150. The dealer is still insisting that it is supposed to work like this. I asked why others don't do this - about 1000 of crickets i heard in the replay. I never had more garbage machine as this Branson 2515. Only 200 hours i already had leaking water pump 20 hours...

two final notes. 1. He gave me all wrong info, his name, his adres, his company name, the do not exists, so no way to find him, besides now i have more important thing to take care of. God will close account with him, such people never get rich not happy. He is going to run all his life. 2. I'm...

The real problem is, i did not want this project, but my wife always wanted it, but i was pushing it off. Two weeks ago she was diagnosed with cancer and i wanted to make something nice to her, to let her enjoy it, she loves to sit around an outdoor fireplace in the evenings. We do it almost...

As it appeared, this creature does not know his but from his head, i showed him pictures, i explained what i want, i asked more than 10 times if he was sure it would be EXACTLY like this. and i told him i need 1-2" pebbles, not 1/4" ones I made it now and i want it now. yes i did, and he told...

Any pictures of the difference? Which one is better looking? I have one. The patio is approximately 530sqft. Will i survive at 95F with 85% humidity? :cry:

Tried it as well, the wire wheel leaves black/gray/silver metal color on the rocks, looks ugly. Here is what i was expecting: Not this:

What tool do I need to grind it? BTW, is it going to be shiny or rough? Do you have any pictures?

I tried 1600, nothing. I can rent up to 4400 PSI, it is $100 a day and 1 hour driving, not an issue if it works., but if not, it is another $100 in additional to all the money this jerk stole from me and acid and other things.

How much PSI would work?

Looking for an advise and TBN collective wisdom. I hired a concrete contractor to make me a patio with exposed aggregate concrete. The guy came, poured the concrete, sprayed the retarder, waited about 2 hours, washed and left. When he was leaving i asked them why there are so many spots covered...

What other forces could brake this in the middle of swing with bucket of gravel on flat ground?

The only thing I needed is a short video to see if others BH behave similar or not.

It broke approximately at 11 o'clock swing to the left. Question is, why the release valve did not open? It should be excessive pressure to do such damage

Thank you guys, you were real help. Next time i know whom to ask should i encounter any problem.

Last update, after 30 minutes of work

I'd expect they would behave similarly

No one has a BH?

I didn't put it in my OP? Stupid me, sorry

Could you guys who has similar tractor with backhoe run a similar test and even better to record how your backhoe is moving.

Both the same , no difference as i can see ILL try it tomorrow, and yes, why it suddenly happened, especially when Branson say it is correct behavior . Why it was not happening before and don't happen to you guys. YES, I tried, no changes. The only change I noticed - if I drug the bucket on...

Hi guys. I was posting on the hydraulic forum about my backhoe BH150 problem with my 2022 2515R On the swing it starts real fast, then slows down, then jumps again slamming the tractor, I recorder it on idle RPM because on the 2000 it is so violent. Here is the forum...

Yes, It was my first thought, and dealer agree that the play in the piston connections is too much, we disassembled it and there is absolutely NO bushing. Just a hole and the pin goes through it. The Branson also confirmed there is no bushing supposed to be. Also, if you look at the second...

Here are better vids.

Another reason i'm thinking about trapped air is the connections to the cylinders not on the top of it, but on the side which theoretically can trap some air above the fitting. But again, it is my theory which is most likely wrong. there are the pictures

To :K5lwq and rScotty - Yes, i understand by the diagram how it is supposed to work but due to my ignorance in tractor hydraulics i cannot see the whole picture where the problem could be, hence the only explanation comes from my experience with the automotive brake system - air in the system or...

It is a simple "T". In my opinion it does as i described. From the front of one cylinder the oil under the pressure escaped directly to the back of another cylinder and does not go to the tank. And as i see it, if there is air trapped inside, it will never escape and be play a role of a cushion...

The dealer just relays what branson told him, "it is supposed to be like this". Can you guy look at the video and compare it to your tractor. IS IT SUPOSED TO move like THIS?

ok, tried some things today: 1. Disconnected the rams from the boom. The BH swings freely by hand. So, no problem here. 2. Ran the rams without connecting them to the boom. Interesting note. The rams are connected between them hydraulically (llok the the diagram on the "Swing Cylinder" part) The...

Great idea, I'll try this. It is what he is going to do. If there no solution it is not going to help I posted the diagram a couple of days ago and will attach it again. Is it what you are looking for? Yes, it uses two rams. And my dealer is a great guy, however, he is not super...

Update, after removing all internals from the control valve and installing new conectors the problem is still there. It seems to me it changes behavior as time passes. Now if I extend the dipper stick and the boom parallel to the ground and start, let's say all the way from the right, and then...

Sorry, my fault, i was not clear. Affected the boom swing and dipper stick when I curl or extend it while the boom almost parallel to the ground, it stops in vertical position then keeps going. The rest of the BH functions well

Ok, here is today's update: 1. Removed the check valve, took out all internals, leaving virtually a hallow pipe, installed it back - no luck. 2. The dealer came with new connectors, we installed them, - no love ether. 3. Per some suggestions tried to pay with the 3pt. Closed the valve, opened...

This is the only hydraulic diagram i have for the BH I agree on this one, I highly doubt it is 3pt because i ALWAYS keep the 3pt all the way up and this problem just started

There are only two hoses, one comes from PB and another goes to the return port. No, i haven't tried the 3point, i'll tomorrow. Yes, you will get a full refund as soon as the BH starts working correctly ;)
