These machines are DC by Yanmar and the BH was much like the Kubota L39-47 series with an integrated frame and BH, so your best bet is to find an auction for a complete TLB. Adaptation of a BH to your unit is possible but very expensive unless you have steel work, machining and welding...

Put a pipe thru the front loader round cross member and add weights on the left and right ends. You can find barbell sets on CL locally for cheap or maybe free! But this would limit the loader lift capacity, so the only other option is to add weights to the L-R loader frame on the sides and...

WxMan 85 sounds like you've made great progress with older iron so far - nice work! How about some pictures of your new to you 580L?

When I built my barn I wanted to use 1" rough pine sheathing all around, but could not on the gable end walls - had to use plywood as they could not calculate the shear load on rough pine lumber.

Looking real good - nice work getting it mounted too. That PTO pump is a good deal and would be nice to have options for connections.

I would suggest you start with Messicks parts list for your B1550 and or get a service manual. Kubota B1550D (4wd) Parts You need to locate the power beyond connection then the return line. In a sense you are adding a set of rear remote valves needed to run the BH. The BH will have two lines -...

Could not agree more on the Amprobe/Ampmeter - have used them for 40 years on pumps, now have a digital one to monitor the pump, or any motor - invaluable! Agree on the pump GPM too - it's a Grundfos 1/2 HP 4 Wire, so it's most likely a 4" pump, either a 5 or 7 GPM, and either one will put out...

Why not consolidate all into one utility room under the stairs (or in the ground floor) for the house and barn/shop so it's all in one place with your water pump/tank, DHW heat and radiant heat etc. Then for cooling in summer and heating in the bridge seasons, install a mini split - a 12K...

A 6" casing has 1.5 gallons per foot, so with 40' of water that's 60 gallons, plus 5 GPM recovery rate is 210 gallons. Take a 5 gallon bucket and run the pump for 30 minutes timing the bucket fill. If you are pumping at 7 GPM that would be 210 gallons. 5 GPM x 30 min = 150 gal + 60 in casing =...

I like the layout garc did of the entry from the deck with the open counter area and closets then the Bath too is better. You could do a screen porch on half and a rubber/epdm roof under the deck to eliminate any water from the garage below.

How do you find these flights Moss? I go onto Flghtradar and pick something interesting (large or unusual) and I'm on the free version. We are close to Portsmouth NH where the new KC-46 is based and see and hear a lot of interesting planes in the sky but nothing shows on Flightradar.

If it's drawing 6 Amps it's a 1/2 HP, and with 4 wires and control box so it's a 4 Wire 1/2 HP submersible pump with control box, (not a 2 wire with start controls in the pump), and most likely a 4" pump installed at ~ 75' (above the 4" casing). It could be a 3" pump but I doubt it. The 4"...

The latest edition of the barndominium looks good with the three car underneath. Also looking at the sun/shade angle appears your roof will face south - do you plan to install solar panels on the roof? Depends on how you plan to heat your shop and house? Not sure of your electric rates - maybe...

As others have said the HP is not an issue - just the hydraulic flow - the B1550 likely has a lower flow rate but this won't matter too much. What you need to ensure is the getting the subframe mounted solid on your machine for the 7500BH - this is the most critical portion as you do not want...

You know the machine and history so for the money and capability the 580L definitely. There are very few options in your price range to do what you want to do in an efficient manner. (smaller machine will do it in 2-3x the time) Sure, you can find a used 40-50 HP utliity tractor with backhoe in...

You could add a ground wire with a eye around the threaded base, or if you have metal mounting boxes and ground that the screws in the face plate will ground it. As a point of reference. all table lamps I have seen are all two wire - no ground.

Yes, you are correct however, the combination of tyres and lad and Shropshire then "UK spelling" indicates UK but yes, assumptions make an...you know the rest.. I grew up in PA and went to Hershey Park and the candy factory many times, when you could actually see the machines making the candy...

Shropshire indicates yes he is in UK. Here is a link to sizes but you can find 315-75-15 turf tires in the UK - L400 each. ouch! 33/10.5-R15 vs 315/75-R15 Tire Comparison - Tire Size Calculator | Tacoma World

And you would be hard pressed to find a non-tier 4 in this condition, and I concur $36 isn't too high. Maybe test the waters with $35 maybe 36K if everything checks out good.

I've pulled trees with by back blade - a 6' CAT 1 - I removed the blade to be able to lower it closer to the ground. Pulled maybe 10 trees like that - not a lot but it works. Just a pain to get the trees chained/hooked up every time. I would get a setup like the video 2 in post 11 to drop over...

THats a really clean tractor and loader doesn't look like it was used much. When you look at similar auction results with Cab and loader, they are $25-30K range with much higher hours (12-1500 hrs) and one was $35K with 250 hours and cab. I would say $35K is reasonable offer/good deal with the...

Slowpoke - how true - in 2015 we had 110" of snow from January 15 to March 1, so I bought the 60" SB, since then no more heavy snows - this year we might have 12" total at the end of January and that's from 4-5 snow events.

Welcome to TBN - See this kink https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/001/2/9/1290-kubota-l2050-engine.html- 1989-1991 25 HP gear, is it 4WD or 2WD, loader of not? Asking price? This vintage, unless it was gone over pretty well will need some wrenching from time to time. IF you are handy...

There is no NEC requirement for up or down, but the majority is ground is down. Some put the ground up if it's a switched outlet for a lamp etc. so you can easily determine which are switched outlets.

And realize and appreciate the years we may have left is an unknown for all of us is a sobering reality for sure - as others have said, 70 seemed old and decades out, now its 3 years for me.

I do as overszd says for smaller trees - 3-8" leave 3' of stump to use as leverage with the BH bucket. Also a ripper tooth on a BH or excavator can rip the roots up without making a huge hole. But anything 12" and bigger, dig around the base and push them over intact. With this approach, thin...

Got a golf cart cover for mine ~$300 - it has a 4 post ROPS so was easy. Just need to protect the corners with some duct tape under it to prevent tearing.

Thats the saying, out of sight, out of mind! So remembering which cabinet stuff is in is a challenge. I end up opening five drawers to MAYBE find the tool I am looking for

Very impressive makeover and nice work!

You want to get the workbench "more clear"? That workbench looks VERY clear to me - nice job. I need to get tool control first (putting them away) to clear my benches!

The Mitsubishi Hyper Heat (with no tray defrost) have a COP of 4.26 @ 47*F, 3.37 @ 17F, and 3.1 at 5*F. Which means they return 3 units of heat for every watt/KW input. So if 1 KW = 3412 BTU, the mini spits create 10,577 BTU at 5*F (3.1x3412) In reality, I found the mini splits claim to heat...

Boylerman, We did 7.2 KW solar in Dec 2014, then in 2016-2017 replaced the 3 window AC units with mini splits - all Mitsubishi single zone units - two 9K and one 12K. The single zone units have a high SEER and high COP and the 12K unit cools/heats the down stairs of our 3KSF cape, and one 9K...

Hi Peter, It's a spreadsheet so once you copy and paste into excel and get the formula's set, you can adjust and add any number of calculations. The other issue is the COP changes with air source heat pumps, so manufacturers set their HSPF based on the heating seasons average temperature...

Larry - These numbers came from PSU calculator - the only aspect you would change are the cost of energy and efficiency of your systems . As I understand this, the 11,945 BTU per KWH vs 3412 BTU for resistance heating that is the 3.5 times the BTU per KWH or 350%. Where is the math wrong or how...

Same here, we have 2 tanks in series with 28 gal drawdown, and pump cycles maybe 8 times a day for a little over 2 minutes each.

Definitely put in Mini-Spilt units that are 25 SEER and above (cooling) and above with high HSPF factors 12 or better (heating efficiency) and even the DHW tank units now use inverters (mini split) for water heating that are very efficient. I would not put in baseboard electric or regular...

Hi Dodgeman - I posted one in another thread - here it is below - you should be able to copy and paste this into excel. You also need to input your local cost for the heat type - this is what the various fuels cost here this year in NH. Also, you can add a load column to this BTU/Hr expected...

Nice work fitting that farmers sink - liked the inverse approach then building the base pan too. We have the farmers sink but cabinet (Starmark) was fitted with side channels and supports, so just needed some shims for the sink support. Comment on the post/beam cabinet cutout - I understand to...

Code54 - what's the purpose or use of the buck in the background with the brake rotor feet and shelter?

My neighbor next door has a CAT 303.5 - 8K machine, a RAM 1500 truck with a 12K trailer. He moves the machine on occasion (2-3 times a year) with no issue towing or stopping etc. Is it outside his total GVW, yes but for short moves no issue. Sum and substance, get enough machine first, and...

Go for at least the JD26 size (6000/3 ton unit) better IMO would be like a Cat 303.5 or Bobcat E32 - 8000 lb machine. The smaller machine JD 26 can push the bigger 1500lb rocks with the blade and thumb close up as 4570 said.

What was the outcome - replaced/repaired or still looking?

From the pic i'd say 2-3, 5-6, 8-9. Also another trick (from other TBN members doing this) is to attach a rope or string to the end(s) of the hoses before pulling them out of the boom - this will be your return savior.

Ha good one Leon going totally off track now - you must be near the Irving gas station next to the bridge that goes over the river.

As a Cub Cadet fan of the older machines (Circa 1990-2010 - or 1800 to 2500 series) these were great machines along with Jhon Deere 300 and 500 series. If you can find a good low hour Cub 1800-2500 or JD 318-400-500 series for $2K or less these are better options. The new XT series are good...

NHBX - no snow so far - strange year we are having - looks warm for the month of January too - but this could be like 14-15 when 110" came in a month!

Wow - Team TBN comes thru again - great job Buckeye and Gary! Great to hear things are progressing in light of all your challenges!

Glad this saga ended well Sierraau - as suspected it was a poor connection/ground issue. In the future if you add devices, connecting directly to the battery is the best solution. Best for you and yours in the new year, and while your here, put your location in your profile, (tractor model and...

Pretty slick machine but I actually enjoy the tractor time in the middle of winter.
