Also, nothing says you have to cut the full width of the mower (usually). I have a smaller tractor (25 PTO HP) and need to cut brush taller than the hood of my tractor (the flag is 6'). I bought a 48" flail mower. I still have to go very slow and only cut 24" per pass. Works great because...

Slight update on Semi price, from Tesla website: $150,000 base model.

I'll be buying one. Bought the license plate for it last night.

Hopefully this will make you feel better... I tried bungees first. They didn't work well for me. If I made them loose for grapple work, they sagged way too much when grapple was off. Mine is not quite like what EA now offers. Hopefully that type will work for you. :thumbsup:

I've been researching this lately and find it amazing how controversial it is, and how much contradictory advice is given. Some people claim you should never cut the chain to shorten it as that is not safe... yet those same people cut their PTO shafts to fit without a 2nd thought. :confused...

It was a hard decision, flail mower or brush hog. But I want the stuff shredded, not just chopped down in big pieces. No experience with either, so I'm hoping this will do what I want. There is a long flail thread here that had me thinking a 73" Caroni might be the one I want. But I only...

I've been meaning to attach a fire extinguisher to the tractor for a long time. Finally remembered to buy the clamps while at the hardware store. Here's hoping I never need it! :)

Thanks for the link rScotty. :)

Xfaxman, thank you. You posted many times about clicking the picture in edit mode, but nothing I did had any effect. Until you posted this! How about that, now it works1 :thumbsup:

Of course, you get what you pay for... ;) (local Craigslist ad - several motorhomes also free in about same shape!)

Ken does say he cannot recommend doing it, but says it's a CYA because he has never tested it. I just drilled all the way through (I can't weld). They work fine. I would like some facing the other way so I could run the chain over the back of the bucket, but doubt I'll ever get around to...

1) Here is the backhoe on its dolly. Normally it lives on concrete in the garage, but at the moment it is in the yard. When in the garage I usually put a Harbor Freight dolly (the little size, 11?) under the front end of the subframe just to keep it off the ground. Total length of the dolly...

Even closer to Big Bear, 4-door Isuzu Rodeo in Palm Springs: Craigslist Rodeo Betcha this would work for OP.

That's a very pretty Sami (in the picture at least ;)), but I think they are asking too much. If I didn't have my Isuzu I'd go look, though. Is the front lift kit mount ripping away from the frame? Picture from the ad:

Same as me, almost. I have a Yamaha Rhino but wanted something enclosed with air conditioning. Samis are great, almost as easy to get parts as Jeeps, but I wanted an automatic so got a Isuzu Amigo. 2-door (with rear bench seat seats 4 or 5), very short, but V6 with 4x4 with hi-lo will go...

Here we rarely have dangerous lightning (once in 5 years). My brother just moved to Central Texas and is unsure how to cope with frequent lightning storms (in season). I found this old thread with useful info: value-good-whole-house-surge So much 'stuff' to protect nowadays, computers, TVs...

I went through this, except 660 Rhino. First I put an engine cover/dust shield in the Rhino, made it so we could talk... up to about 15 MPH. Not good enough. Decided I wanted enclosed with A/C and still 4x4 with Hi-Lo range. Samurai just didn't have the power I wanted, otherwise it was just...

We want to get a whole house water filter. Our well is about 200' from the house. It would be much more convenient to mount the filters in the pump shed. Is there any reason to have the filter close to the house? Online instructions say to mount it where the water line enters the house, but...

I think he means the plasti-dipped ones (what I have for rear remotes). It isn't intended to be removed. If you find a way to do it without damage, please let us know. Would be handy for maintenance, but other than a razor, I've no idea how it could be done.

Update: I bought an Isuzu Amigo instead of the Geo Tracker. The Amigo is significantly larger, almost too large. The white pole is our property marker, the rock by the left driver's side limits width on that side. Really nice though. Automatic, dual sunroof, 4x4, hi-lo, V6, 78,000 miles...

I need to replace my Yamaha Rhino. One thing I want is quiet, so I've considered the Polaris Ranger EV. I can get a Polaris with the Voltronix Lithium conversion (used) for 15 grand: Polaris Or, I can get a Geo Tracker (148,000 miles of used) for $4,500. Upsides, Geo Tracker has air...

While working near the main hydraulic distribution box under the right side of my tractor I noticed this device. Does anyone know what this device is? (large oval) Zerk at its base (small circle) is kind of hard to see here. Pretty sure I've never greased that one. :eek:

Update: Turned control box around, float is now in correct spot. Here is why I'm working on this at all, one cable worked loose and the joystick was tilting further and further to the right. Boot bellows show joystick leaning: Piston out of adjustment (groove should be where locking bar can...

Three issues with my joystick, which I believe was installed "wrong" (it does work): 1) lock switch comes out the front, apparently should come out the back. 2) dogleg goes to right, simply not sure if this is correct or if it "should" go forward/back. 3) this is the biggie... detent for...

There is a larger tube near the top. It is called the "breather tube" as air flows thru the "J" hook to prevent vacuum in the tank. The red cap just pops out (not necessarily easily). If you have a backhoe, the "return to tank" line may be connected to this tube. It will handle much higher...

Here is the gate I want...

Very good. :thumbsup: Never occurred to me to make them... I just bought the gorilla lift; you're version saved lots of money. I do like having the springs enclosed, though.

Knowing I would need it someday I bought a Harbor Freight 4 1/2" angle grinder when it was at a good price. Also got a 10 pack of metal cutoff wheels. Today was the day so I pull everything out and start by reading the grinder's instructions. First thing it says is: "not for use with cut-off...

My thought is that anything is better than nothing. If you are budget limited, you do what you can. I went with the (similar) Q-SEE from Costco. The 60 foot camera leads shrink fast when routing to the controller... I can only view three sides of my home. My goal was to view over the...

A 6" Wilton showed up locally on craigslist recently. Price seems a bit high, but it is dropping... I like GManBart's better :)

I'm not a truck guy, have never owned one. Now with the tractor and land I feel I need one, but cannot afford new. I'm thinking under 10 grand, probably year 2000-2007. I need to pull about 9,000 lbs. (total incl trailer) but not often and not far. 1) Would a Ford F150/Dodge-Chevy 1500 do...

Here is the maintenence schedule page from the workshop manual. If it comes through as lower res I can email you the hi-res version.

No drilling needed - use adhesive mounted studs. Mentioned here on TBN = Click Bond, similar available elsewhere (weld mount and others). Best results if paint sanded down first so it is adhering to the metal. Prior threads...

So I bought the hooks from KennyD in 2014, but the Kioti bucket has a square tube along the front for added strength. Some LS buckets have this too. Which means I need 3 1/2 inch bolts instead of the 1 1/2 inch bolts provided. And I finally remembered I needed them WHILE I WAS AT THE STORE...

I need some 18" drainage pipe, which comes in 20 foot lengths. Biggest trailer my car will handle is 12 feet. Any suggestions on how to get these home? Thanks

Danuser sold a chipper a long time ago. Research says it was actually made by GME (Ground Maintenance Equipment). Danuser no longer carries it and GME appears to no longer exist. The 24P chipper was a nice unit with a 160 lb flywheel, PTO driven (no hydraulics). The P in the model name does...

That was part of our reason for not having kids, but this was the real clincher: Wish we had known they were lying to us, sure didn't work out that way! :laughing:

It's a 49, 50, 51, 52 ... except that wasn't a Ford. Hm.

Probably work fine on my Smurf car, then!

And, how about a diesel small truck (actually a car with an open, extendable bed), the Hyundai Santa Cruz? http://blog.caranddriver.com/hyundai-santa-cruz-pickup-alabama-plant/ I would really like this - claimed high 30's MPG.

I'm going to fill my tires, just bought the adapter tool (don't have it yet... Amazon) Most of the posts I've read over time and just now doing a search mention having to bleed air. The tool wants you to stop pumping to bleed... seems like a waste of time. How bad to the rim/tire would it be...

Link doesn't work for me, so I went to the main kubota accessories page and scrolled down until I found the RTV500 speedo ... $102.90 Accessories page: RTV Accessories | Messicks's Messick's does have a cute error page picture:

Yes, the backhoe on the 110TLB is almost double the specs of the Kioti KB2475. Lots bigger, too (longer reach, etc.) 110tlb vs kioti:

That is a good price for the 2nd remote when getting it from the dealer. And remember, if you don't get the 2nd remote that slot will be empty and everyone will ask you "what's missing"? :laughing:

When I google butterfly roofs most are really 'V's. The wastewater treatment plant near us did a (very expensive) renovation and added large buildings with graceful butterfly roofs. These pics were gleaned from the 'net, I've never taken any pics of it, but could if you want better views...

I haven't used them (they work Western Washington) but based on their website I would have no qualms working with them. Meaning, contact and decide if the people you encounter suit you. Website certainly looks good. 18 grand (special) doesn't even sound bad for a 20x24 with 4" concrete floor:

Back on topic... I could use a work truck but there ain't no way I'm buying a new one at these prices. So this is what I'm looking at, should be strong enough to pull my Kioti. Opinions on this choice welcome ... wiser than buying new or a maintenance headache?

I look at Craigslist every few days, not looking for anything specific right now. But for some reason I always do a search on 'tractor'. :cool: Saw this one this morning: It sold in under 3 hours. Moral: If you see something you want on Craigslist, snag it quick. And if you're actually...

Good job on ordering that grapple. I'm sure you'll like it. I'm interested in their 'stump grapple' (only the GRSB1, not the one shown) 56" opening, but can't find weight. I'll contact them.

I've always wanted one of these on our "soccer mom" minivan... Soccer mom is optional, extra:
