Just found the schematics, looks like the hose from the check valve is supposed to be on the return line. So, mine is installed correctly.

As much as i understand the #1 is on the return hose, going back to the gear box. The one which comes from the PB is on the opposite side just below the #2 relief valve No vibration whatsoever. The only noise i hear is when i lower the boom, i hear loud sound of running fluid I hope it works...

No, it is both ways, right or left, starts fast then hiccups amost to the end, same with the curl functions, stops in the middle, hesitates a sec or two and keeps going

OK, so my understanding was wrong. So, what is left? Connectors?

It is just a bold spot, besides if my memory does not betrayed me, bobcats walk with tail curled or slightly up

It is definitely a feline, not a k9, and judging from the long tail it is a ML, cougar, puma

Interesting, meaning there is something wrong with the check valve because it got warmer. In my understanding, if it's función only to prevent backward connection, it should not work at all - get warmer ?

Any rpm

I put a load, noting changed as i could notice, no noise level, no RPM. The only difference was that it started running a little smother because of the increased inertia, it does not stop as abruptly as the empty one. Ran it 1K, 1.5 and 1.8RPM I opened the panel and tried to listen, and put my...

It was installed by the dealer when i purchased the tractor+BH They are different, no way to reverse, only one way to connect, besides, it worked this way before. I attached the pictures of them So far for me it looks like it does affect all the functions, the turn and the curl of the boom are...

I attached the picture how the BH connected to the tractor. I don't see any problem with the loader. it works smooth. The dealer told me to connect and reconnect the CCs, no love here, same issue. The connection is solid, no leaks. Also, i don't see any additional filters besides the one for...

I dont know the difference, it is a line which i make a loop when the backhoe is not connected. It comes from the rear of the gear box. I guess it is a dedicated line but not sure.

Need advise, Yesterday my backhoe started acting up. If i take the boom all the way to one side and then start turning it back, it goes 1/3 of the way, then stops for a second, then keeps going another 1/3, then hesitates again, then goes all the way to the end. Pretty much same thing with the...

1. In 40 years no one was able to find any, so, the fine is $0 vs See above:) 2. Remember about the elbows? When you are in his shoes, you might change your opinion, for us who does not have such problem it is easy to judge from our tall tree. OK, i'm done with this. Not trying to convince...

Kill - it means very high probability of $1,000s of fines in case of bear and potential jail time in addition to very, very steep fines in case of cougar (Most of them have a GPS attached, so SSS is a little problematic there). Leave alone? just seat and watch how they kill your livestock? What...

Imo, still annoying, every time you have to get off the tractor you have to remember to detach it and then to attach it again. I would get nuts after 2 times or forget about it.

Depends on the seat construction, but I gues is easy to do, but useless and annoying thing. You will throw it away after 15 minutes of work.

It is your opinion, and opinions like elbows, most have two. The closest neighbor is at least 10 miles away, so, no problem here. Killing a bear or worse a cugar is a huge problem, can go to a jail time in CA, so either SSS, or do what he does. Also, when one chose his well being ( his...

My friend, who lives in North CA, has black bear and mountain lion problem. To protect his 200 cows he just shoots them in the gut with 22. They never come back and he never had to worry about what to do with the carcass or if someone finds it. With 22 wound they get far enough no one can find...

Oh, OK, makes sense, but the excavator is 5k+ and 200 for green and yellow to impress the neighbors 😉

My tractor. For some reason after buying my 60 acre property I thought I could get around without one. For 2 years I was "getting around " till I thought " enough is enough "

What does it mean?

$200 is some "quick change" whatever it means, the excavator is $5,395 plus shipping

I thought about it and dropped the idea. On my property they would be broken before i can say "Jack".

different parts of US different prices. In Silicon Valley, CA no one is going to look in to your direction for less than $800, just to begin with. I learned to weld, with flux core mig welder it is easy. $200 HF welder, welding mask $25-50 and other things around another $50-100 For $300-400...

I run farm boss 041 1968. Regular 87 with walmatr 2 stroke oil. No issues so far. All my 2 stroke run on 40:1 mix

It is why I chose to buy shuttle shift with 12 gears. Never a problem, full, rocks, roots, what not.

I have 6" Titan BB and have no issues whatsoever.

Yep, there is 3 point skinning pole attachment with a gambrel, works well together with a hay spear.

....forcing the manufacturers to raise price of parts and such to compensate for the loss in revenue and some 300% more , We had it already with the Obamacare, remember prices of health insurance before? They are not stupid, they will keep their profit either way and make even more money.

Just my thought and experience with the antitheft devises. Battery disconnect does not work if the thief has some knowledge and little time. easy to bypass. In my experience which proven by years of experience fuel pump disconnect is much better. You hide a micro switch or a magnet activated...

Good. You have stronger back then i do. For me It is difficult with 60 acres, 20 of which i mow

What about twigs, do you have any in the spring? I actually built it for twigs, leaves are my last concern but a nice bonus is i'm able to collect them. BTW in December it is snow or rain. A little awkward to mow the 2 inch snow ;) I start mulching them in October-November, but majority falls...

I did not want to install it in line with the parking brake indicator because when i off the tractor or working on backhoe it would drive me crazy(like im not already :LOL:...) Here is one more solution, inspired by this thread ;)...

I always, with no failure, forget to disengage my parking brake. It sooooo pisses me off, not because i forget to do so, but because it is one additional reminder of my age :mad: In addition to a visual indicator i thought a loud noise would be helpful. It seemed that installing a buzzer in...

When you are 100% correct about WD40, (WD stands for Water displacement i think), now this company has some other WD40 products for rust prevention, penetrant, lube and such. All of them go under the name WD40.

Update. Last fall after 10 minutes use i was not impressed with how it worked. Then the winter came and i never got a chance to property evaluate it. Now come spring and it was the time to give it a try. After i got a hold how to use it, adjusted the upper arm correctly i was really impressed...

BTW, some ppl swear by Woolwax. They say it is much better than fluid film. I have no experience with either.

I guess you use mistic jt6 which is grease, jt8 is heavy duty oil, as I remember, but I might be wrong. Actually, imo, any grease works as long as you use it regularly. The moly or lithium gives additional level of protection. On metal parts I use same heavy duty or rad grease, whatever I...

I know, I was commenting on the comment about loader hydraulic line cover.

Exactly, it was made on purpose: 1. To keep you busy and out of trouble. 2. To let you brag about on tractor forum :ROFLMAO:

It is original, isn't it?

First i straitaned it. Then cut and riveted 2 little seel pieces . Took about 10 minutes.

Nothing is wrong with having a clean ass vs. dirty one, and I'd prefer living in a society with clean behinds. Just a little sighn of development.

Nope, they print very good looking checks. Your bank takes it, give you cash or deposit money in to your account. Then they mail this check to the issuing institution, they see it is a fake check, send it back to your bank, your bank takes the money fr9m your account. Meanwhile you already...

Here is much easier solution, 10 minutes of work, much faster than driving to the dealer, and costs whooping $0.00 and you will not be able to brake it again

It is why normal ppl converted to metrics long time ago.

It is a known scum, they pri t "cashiers checks" at their home computer. Then 2 weeks later, when this check comes back, your bank comes after you. This scheme was described 1000s of times oil over the internet. I' m actually surprised you never heard of it 😕

I made mine out of the white, but I gues black would work as well as long as you heat it adequately

Mine too, only on the ROPS, but I wanted to have one on the righ side as well, the more the merrier 😄

Don't forget, America is about 50 years behind Europe, so take pity on us.

In my case it is absolutely useless thing. But since I made it mysef, I'm off by roughly $30 and if I need angles for my next project I can cut it and reuse the metal.

It is what actually happens. It cleans very well until it doesn't. every 20 yard or so, depending on the amount of leaves, I had to stop, lift 3pnt, drive a couple of feet back to release accumulated leaves and continue. Then with the brush forks i built, i pick up those smaller piles to a...

Was browsing for some metal at my local metal recycle place. Found some good size angles. for $0.30 per pound it was not a brainer. Ordered some baler teeth online. The Carry all come out much stronger than the store bought but i actually have no use for it besides attaching the rake. I...

Interesting, i'd think it is a new model's thing but my friend's and my neighbor's are at least 5 YO but they have similar design. Go figure

For $35? :unsure:

This drink is for picture only, wife friendly so to speak, not to raise any suspisions. ;) The bottom part is just bent portion of same pvc pipe. Heat it and shape it. Exactly like the upper part which is attached to the ROPS.

New 2515s have a cupholder attached to the left side of ROPs. Had some free time and added another one on the left side

On 2515 there is no pin or nothing to securely hold it on. It just snaps on and held by tension of the plastic around the metal rod. You can see it on the picture.

Interesting. Before buying my own tractor i could use my friend's 4820, the plastic part was long gone. My neighbor's also missing one as he says "from the day one". Mine started falling off after the first 10 hours. I was lucky to find it on the ground.

Dont know what it is, never noticed it, i guess mine does not have it at all ;)

Plastic pad of the "Gas"/RPM pedal was constantly falling off. A quick fix - drilled two holes and secured it with a cable tie.

After long reserch a bought 1000 because it has a true gear, not a belt driven trans. I have it for over 2 years now, more than 1,700 miles so far. Since it is a true gear, not a belt driven, it jumps a little till you get used to it. Extremely strong machine, i tow a 14' trailer full of wood...

Tried my welding skills (not so good, haven't been welding for more than 45 years). But eventually it worked, i'm happy with the result. Got it right on the second try. On the first one of the cross bars got bent. Removed them and it seemed to work better.

PVC pipe, USB charger/Voltmeter and 30minutes of work

I have a Titan, no complaints, very strong and heavy for less than 1/2 price. Also, for just road maintenance I would consider land plane/leveler with scarefires. A little more expensive but for maintenance it is better IMO. My .02 cents

After trying many machines, traveling many coffee abscessed countries including Italy, France, Egypt, Israel, Turkey and what not I settled on hand made Turkish "jasva", "finjun" and it has at least a dozen different names. The key, it has to be pure copper hand made.

I ones removed it. I was able to last less than 15 minutes before installing it back. No more....

I don't bang my knees in it because they are on the other, backhoe side of the consol.

Yes, it getting loose also was my concern, it is why I taped the wall, and put lockouts from both sides. At the end, the concern was unnecessary because the backhoe does not have any noticeable vibration while being used, mine at least.

Thanks for the support and encouragement 🤣

On Branson tractors there are two pins used to secure the boom. I always was concerned to loose them. Came up with this little hanger. I bet there are better ways of doing it, but it was quick and easy.

I did not want " to use it till I brake it" because it is for sure would break in the most inconvenient moment and in the darkest part of the woods, and the most deepest mud spilling whatever was in it in the radius of 3 miles. But those 2 boxes I had already collecting dust.

Thanks you guys for the welth of knowledge and sharing it with me. I need to leave my OCD home at least fot this one ;) Let the experiment start. First I'll deflate to 15psi since it is the most common advice and see how it works.

Imo, the most important part was the bottom because most of the brash grow from bottom up and also because of the hood abstraction i don't see what is going on there. It is why I welded a solid peace of metal there except for some designer touch - drilling some holes, no purpose, just pure...

My new Branson/TYM came with a really questionable storage box already installed. The bad: It is extremely flimsy and small, useless IMO. The good: It has a really sturdy bracket able to hold a huge load. Removed a pile of original garbage from the tractor (it is my opinion they are garbage...

Here is the solution for the ignition key. Here is the thread i created for this FEL stick conversion The tilt of the stirring wheel is useless IMO or i just not used to it. Also i found how i'm going to close the hole, i'll just move this watch over.

Switch for axillary lights is a great idea, tho i haven't decided if i need them. I work on my property during daylight only. Probably brake light disconnector. Don't like them "ON" while working with backhoe. But anyway, great idea to use it for some switch installation which i'll need if the...

Upper part are welded together chain links, the bottom part is 1/8" metal.

Great, i'll use this to change my design. Thanks a lot. Now i need to think how to reuse the hole i made for my light :-) Will keep me busy for a while

1. I have blacktop roads on most of my property. 2. I have tried to reduce to 14psi, I did not see increased pattern, maybe my tires too stiff. It is R1 Tyron tires. 3. Most my concern is about safety and constant discrepancy between Branson recommendations and the real thing like tires or...

Oh, I was looking on the picture, it shows only pto and 4wd indicators. Do you remember which wire goes to the 4wd light?

I love working with mine, sometimes it ends up with a fight, sometimes it brings up great ideas, but it is always fun and I always have someone to blame for failures.

Just curious, If dash the same, why you did not use the original light located on the right side?

I could not find how to use the one which already there. I even don't know if my dash has one. I have a newer TYM model. My tractor has parking brake light indicator on the right side of the dush. Now I think how to make rear brake lights to stay off while on parking brake. While working on the...

My only concern is if there any negative effects running low pressure, There should be a reason manufacurer recommended 29PSI. And the dealer started saying something about warranty.

I don't like to compromise if I can help it.

Are your tires loaded or it does not make any difference? Also, at the beginning i was running 30PSI but after i reduced to 23 i feel like the tractor is less stable or "mushy" or what is the correct term, like a little boat on waves goes from side to side.

I dont like driving on 4WD when it is not necessary since my property has asphalt roads and i feel it increases front tire wear unnecessary. It was easier then expected.

Out of PVC pipe and EBay charger

I like to be able to get on/off the tractor from both sides, however there are some obstacles on 2515. 1. The FEL stich is on the way, let alone it is inconvenient for me to hold my right hand in this position dictated by the stick position, maybe it is just me. 2. There is no step, and jumping...

Hi All! New here. My 2515R just had first 100 hours on it. The question is, for the rear tires the manual says the rear tire pressure should be 2 bar which is roughly 29PSI. On the tire is written 23PSI. the dealer says 30PSI. The tire manufacturer, i called the US rep, says 23PSI. Which one...
