Merry Christmas all TBN'er's!!! 69°F and very windy currently in central KY. According to NOAA, that ties us for the warmest Christmas, set in 2019. Forecast a possible 73° today. Recliner and KY bourbon in afternoon forecast. Enjoy the day!

Good afternoon all, There may be one of more forums I could post this under but figured "hydraulics" might be the best spot. Working with a compact track loader, Kubota SVL75-2. It has standard flow hydraulics rated at 17.4 gpm. Looking into purchasing a brush cutter to maintain...

Good afternoon all, I know there's an awful lot going on in the world right now but want to ask the TBN members: Looking at buying a new compact track loader for the farm. Most manufacturer's currently have 0% for up to 60 months. Priced one the other day and the "cash price" is...

Good afternoon TBN, Picked up a nice late 60's New Holland 212 manure spreader. 100 bushel, perfect for my application. Estate sale of the original owner. Used it more for spreading tobacco stalks in the summer and storing tobacco sticks in the winter than spreading actual manure...

Thanks Roadworthy. My owner’s manual calls for 10W30 in the hydraulics but I’ve learned that Bobcat discontinued this practice in 2006. Cracked open the hyd filter and drained a little out. Starting to think it is water mixed in.

Good morning all, Working on my 02' 753. Fan gearbox was leaking and left pintle seal was leaking. New seals, o-rings and a speedy sleeve later and I'm back in business. I already had an engine jig for a 763 so I ended up pulling the motor and fuel tank out and giving this thing a proper...

Good afternoon guys, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new CTL. Personal use only, here on the farm with chores and property maintenance. Currently own a 2002 Bobcat 753G, foamed tires with 3k hrs, ROPS with hand / foot controls. 3rd owner, great little machine. Made me realize I...

Anyone out there pricing a C227 track loader? Thinking about selling my current Bobcat to buy a bigger unit and this model caught my eye? Currently has 0% for 60 through the end of August.

A few pics from the update:

Anyone priced a Kubota SVL65 yet? It's the newest in the line and the smallest of their track loaders.

Looks like another nice site, full of knowledgeable folks. I signed up over there a few weeks ago and never received my confirmation email. I can log in just fine but cannot do anything without confirming my account. Ive resent the email and even tried sending it to my work email instead of...

Upper bushings for the links are in great shape:

Good evening all, Picked up a Kubota KX161 for the farm, had it a little over a year now. Bigger than I thought I wanted but I’m so glad I went for it, great size machine for chores. Had the intentions of going through the lower end of the dipper arm as a winter project. Had some...

(WARNING - PIC HEAVY post follows) Hey wdchyd! Yes, lots of good progress. Been busy with other projects and I haven’t been back on the site. I thought I had my email notifications on but I must not have. Got on here tonight and there were several additional posts since we last spoke. I...

Got a delivery from WDCHYD yesterday. First class service all the way!!! Cylinder removed from machine, broke down and ready for repair.

Thanks wdchyd! Message sent. Here are some additional pics of the flow tube and its connection to the barrel.

Hey guys, Seeking out the advice of the resident TBN'ers here. Picked up a used Kubota excavator in late 17'. 2006 model, 12k lbs unit, great size for here on the farm. I've only got one leak on the machine and it's driving me crazy. At some point, the cylinder for the hydraulic thumb...

Good afternoon all, Can anyone provide a make / part number for an aftermarket fuel filter for the T4.75? I bought the tractor new in 2012 and I've been able to cross over the engine oil, hydraulic, in-line fuel and both air filters. I've been running Baldwin on everything since...

Good evening guys, Been searching for awhile for a 7k-8k lbs mini excavator for my farm. Needing to do some long overdue cleanup, general chores, etc. Ran across a early 2000's New Holland EC35 with a little over 2k hours. Well used machine but would likely serve my purpose on...

Good afternoon all, I have a pressure washer question for my resident TBN'ers. I have a Karcher electric pressure washer, 3.68M. I do also have a gas powered washer but I like the little Karcher, sometimes it easier / quicker to use it depending on location, application, etc. The...

Good evening all! Even while staring old man winter in the face, I am prepping for my spring maintenance schedule for my equipment. I'm currently using a 2012 T4.75. It's actually my second PowerStar but that's another story. My question to my fellow TBN'ers is has anyone successfully...

Good evening guys, My vintage 14 gallon Sanborn pump laid down on my this weekend (I'll save that for another thread!) I have a new 60 gallon compressor waiting on me in the corner but I'm in the process of a remodel and haven't gotten to the electric yet as I have no 220. Picked up...

Good evening guys, Working on a 2012 NH PowerStar T4.75 tractor. There is a factory option for a little over $50 (retail) that adds an extra 12V power outlet in the lower right dash as pictured (pic taken through right door opening): Opening is simply covered by a rubber plug: I got...

Good morning all, Seeking some advice on how to deal with the stump that is right against my pole barn. I'm currently working on a 96'x60' riding arena on my property. Keep in mind this building sat for almost 11 years, unused and neglected. I've only been here about three years...

Barn in question ....

Hey guys, Running into a bit of a problem "remodeling" a pole barn on my property. I'm working on a 96' x 60' pole barn built in 1997 (former horse riding arena). 6x6 posts 6' OC (sidewalls), 6x6 posts 12' OC (endwalls), 2x6x12 girts 30" OC, 2x4x14 purlins 24" OC and the walls are...

Good evening guys! I bought a 02' model Bush Hog Squealer SQ840 in the spring of 2009. It's a 7 foot, 3 pt mount rotary cutter and has been tough as nails. I bought it from a guy who used it more like a finish mower, he actually sold it to buy a finish mower. I certainly use it for its...

Hey guys! Slowly working on remodeling a 36'x48' shop that was on my property when I moved here. A little about the building up front : - 5.5" concrete slab - Trusses on 6' centers - 2x6 girts (flat) on 30" centers - White ribbed metal panels on the ceiling, 10' tall - No soffit on either...

Good morning guys! I'm working on converting a horse barn / indoor riding arena into a garage / workshop. This thing sat vacant and basically neglected for eight years in a divorce settlement (someone else's divorce settlement!) I've owned it for 3 years now and have been clearing out snakes...

Hey guys, Been recently looking a Kubotas (M7040 HDC's) and have found several that I liked. Goodyear tires, 2 remotes, cast rims on the rear....... I have a question about the factory air ride seat. Do most dealers keep these on hand? I would definitely upgrade from the...

Good morning guys. Newb here, been lurking for a while. ;) I'm currently in the market for a new tractor. I just sold my faithful New Holland TT75A (MFWD, Bush Hog FEL). Great, hard working tractor, did everything I asked it do to and then some. I'm just wanting a few more bells and...
