Anyone have experience with a Blecavator? My buddy is building a home on a large lot and we're looking into options for dealing with the existing rocky topsoil. The topsoil has a decent amount of rocks the size of potato's and the odd watermelon-sized boulder. What size rocks can a Blecavator...

I'm building a power rake and don't have much welding experience. I'm maxing out my fabrication skills to be perfectly honest and most of the reason for building my own power rake is to learn how to weld. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/power-rake-build-54.467414/ Would...

I started designing\modeling a power rake over the winter. (Got frustrated with sketchup so I purchased a student version of solidworks.) A couple weeks ago I started the build. It will be used by a GC2300 (22.5hp) and my brother-in-laws 26hp (L2650?) Kubota some info: 54" x 6" sch40 main...

Hello, I'm starting a power rake build this week and am fortunate enough to be able to have the "teeth" laser\fiber cut out of AR400. (I found a good deal on an offcut of AR400 from shop this is closing it's doors.) The more I read about welding AR400 the more confused and paranoid I get...

PTO Shaft that is. :D I'm thinking of building a 3PH snowblower over the next few months. My tractor is a class 1 GC2300 machine. Just wondering how extreme I can go in cutting a PTO shaft. My C-to-C length in my drawing is 17" - almost no angle, this seems really short but I have...

Building a plow frame and need some input from subject matter experts regarding the hydraulics. (SCUT GC2300) I noticed the angle kit for the Kubota BX2763 uses a simple (single) double acting cylinder. Is there anything special about the cylinder in this kit? I ask because I'm wondering...

I noticed that under rare conditions that my hood will move left\right. eg. if i put all off the tractors weight on one of the front wheels - climbing a 8in 'bump'. This does not occur 99% of the time, it just happen to catch my eye while using tractor fairly hard. The other day the left...

I have a 5ft box blade on my 3PH. It's leaning forward. (Cut going forward, bulldoze/backsdrag driving in reverse.) When I'm in reverse I noticed that the lift arms aren't completely locked. If, for example, I hit a hard patch the lift arms will follow the contour of the ground. The leaver...

A local company dredges a very large "kettle lake" and sells the spoils as top soil. They have decent reviews. This is what the soil reports https://www.kettlelakesoil.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Soil-Analysis-Report-April-2021.pdf...

Looking to use a tiller to redo my lawn. The grass was killed with glyphosate 2 weeks ago. Dirt under is not incredibly hard. My plan was (for most of the area) to till good quality topsoil into the existing top soil and then use box blade and drag harrow to get the humps and bumps out. The...

I had all 3 control-to-tractor lines made new. got cocky and took all 3 lines off without labeling. figured the correct connections would be in the manual like they are for the FEL lines. welp, the manual shows only 2 lines and the various parts diagram only confuse me more. I'm second...

Hey Everyone. I'd like a tooth bar for a project that will probably consume about 30-50 hours, only problem is that I don't believe i need one long-term. I enjoy fabricating, but don't want to invest time into something that will become a boat ancor within a few hours. I have access to a cnc...

My brother-in-law tried this with a treadmill he found on trash day. It worked... really well! He was able to mix relativily large amounts of concrete by himself while myself and one of his sons spread out the mix. The contraption completely eliminated what was previously very hard work...

Thought I'd ask before I start tinkering. How exactly does a the parking brake work? I can move the leaver on my 2300 with my baby finger, how is it possible to keep the tractor from rolling? Is the cam in this diagram the physical mechanism that puts the tractor into park?

purchased a tractor with concrete splatter and residue all over the bucket, some parts of the sheet metal, and even a blob on the windshield. The concrete is 1-2 years old. Do "safe" concrete dissolvers actually work? I see a lot of mixed reviews. Or should I skip right to muriatic acid and...

It should be a simple task, but it can get quite frustrating trying to find documented dealer paint codes and part numbers for MF tractors. I found what appears to be a definitive answer to paint codes for the sheet metal, wheels, and chassis of a large list of AGCO products. Just search for...

Picked up a 2300 with 153 hours. Spent a lot of time in direct sunlight as you can see. has a curtis cab. Will be using it for a lot of dirt work over the next couple of years, after that, primarily snow removal and general use. previous owner didn't care too much about keeping it looking...

My neighbor is fencing off a 90 inside-corner right on the property line. He is using 8ftx5" posts about 40ft apart. Wire 'farm fence' is being used. I noticed that he didn't use horizontal or diagonal bracing on the corners like I see all along the country roads. This is on soggy ground in...
