    Pull type Grader?

    I'm considering building a pull type grader and looking for opinions. My lane is about 1200 ft of gravel and my current choices to maintain it are a 7' rear blade, 5' box blade or a 3' wide really heavy LPGS. My wife likes the grass strip in the middle which is why I built the LPGS but have...

    3pt Log winch/grapple

    I'm looking to build a log grapple/winch for the 3pt of my B3300. I've been watching for 2 yrs now for a used skidding winch to show up but nothing small enough and they are crazy expensive if they do (like 80-90% of new for a beat up piece of junk). I've been planning something similar to...

    How long to dig a 30'x50'x8' ish deep hole?

    I'm looking to dig a hole to bury a bunch of old concrete, dirt/wood/steel debris from an old barn foundation. Trying to decide if it's cheaper to hire it out to a full-size excavator or rent a kx080 and do it myself. I'm plenty skilled as an operator and not looking to factor in my time...

    Drone or UAV?

    So are what you guys keep calling drones really a drone or are they actually a UAV? I'm looking for clarification as my understanding of the terms doesn't seem to match. A UAV (Unmanned Ariel Vehicle) is remotely flown by a 'pilot' who is controlling the thing via radio controls and viewing...

    Anyone NOT happy with their groved R4s?

    Lots of threads available about the benefits of groved R4s and how happy people are with them. Is there anyone out there that is NOT happy with the mod? Please only post if you have actually done yours and are either neutral (didn't find it made a difference either way) or not happy and would...

    3 pt quick hitch

    I've been thinking about buying a quick hitch for the 3 pt for quite a while now and it occurred to me today I should just build it. Not sure why I didn't think of that before but considering it will cost me min $350 to buy one, (HF is not an option up here) I should save a decent amount and...

    Wallenstein 3pt wood splitter rebuild

    Back around Christmas I found a sorry looking wood splitter rotting away in the back corner at one of my local rental yards. Somehow someone had managed to rip the wedge off the end. It was the double 2x4 beam that failed, not the wedge or the welding. Their ,attempted 'weld' to re-attach was...

    B3300SU diff lock hard to engage

    My B3300 is coming up to 3 yrs old and I have about 280 hrs on it. The diff lock has always been hard to engage, like it takes everything I can to push on it while keeping enough weight on the seat for the sensor. I'm 6'2" and 225 lbs and have a hard time with it, can't imagine a smaller...

    GC 1705 Self Leveling loader?

    Saw an ad for the GC 1700 Series which shows a pic of what appears to be a GC 1705 with a mechanical self-leveling loader. Picture is too fuzzy to make out the model number off the side of the loader. Can't find anything on the Massey site about it. Anyone here have any info on them? I'd love...

    Snow  2014 Case 120 Maxxum 17th gear?

    Running above tractor tonight doing snow rather than my usual 2012 one. This one seems to have the 17th gear option but it acts like it goes into neutral when it up-shifts from 16. Happens both in auto mode and when I manually shift. I can't imagine the computer would let me shift to a gear that...

    Firewood processor questions

    Like many on here, I'm in the planning stages of a processor build. Hopefully I'll be able to build it this summer. A couple questions for you hydraulic masters.... What is so special with the F11 motor that is apparently THE choice for the saw motor? If you can afford it that is. I'm sure...

    how to identify between soft maple and hard maple logs?

    How do I tell the difference between soft and hard maple when it is still in logs? I can tell when it's still a tree, when it's lumber and when it's a split piece of firewood but not the foggiest idea when it's still in log form. This will be my first year buying logs and splitting myself and...

    Dump wagon build

    I have a 2 wheel cart made from the back half of an old hay wagon that I've been using to clean things up around the place. I always thought about converting it to a dump trailer. Earlier this fall I salvaged a few loads of logs out of a burn pile from some land clearing down the road and had me...

    Cab, 12x12 shuttle and self-leveling loader?

    With it being Christmas, I figure that it's a good time to dream about my next tractor, not that I have any complaints with my B3300. My wife often talks about getting another dog (we already have 3) and my response is sure, when I get to have a second tractor...... Must have list: Factory...

    LA504 roll back angle improvement?

    One of the very few things I'm not happy about with my B3300SU and 504 loader is the crappy roll back angle. I either have to accept excessive spillage to drive with the bucket at a proper height or drive with the bucket raised 4 or 5' to level it out and stop slillage. I also have Kubota's...

    LPGS build

    I've got about 1200 ft of gravel drive that has nicely grown up with the strip of grass between the tire tracks that my wife is rather fond of. I had been maintaining it with a rear blade just fine but this year the grass strip has really grown so the rear blade won't work any more. My wife's...

    Plasma Chart?

    Can anyone provide me to a link to a chart for settings for a plasma cutter? I'm using an Everlast PowerPlasma 50 with hand-held S45 torch. I got the machine for Christmas and just finally got to fire it up today. Literature that came with it isn't helpful. I'd have thought it would have a...

    Raised bed hiller

    So finally got around to getting the garden in for this year. We started a new area behind the house, roughly a couple thousand square feet. A big step up since our last one was only a couple hundred. Stripped the sod with the backhoe then did primary tillage 12" or so deep by digging and...

    Fence post peeler/debarker

    I just came home with 56 fresh cut cedar fence posts now I need to get the bark off. Back when I was a kid, we'd wait for the moisture to form under the bark and use a spud to peel them but I don't have 6 months or so to wait, I want to use them next weekend. I'm looking to build a...

    Welding table build

    I got a handful of cash for Christmas and sold a 6.0L motor that I hadn't gotten around to using to buy a plasma cutter from Duncan at Everlast Canada. Still had cash leftover burning a hole in my pocket. With my birthday this past week, added cash from my wife, my folks and my mother-in-law...

    How do you keep your welding table top from rusting?

    As the title says..... It's easy enough to paint the frame but what about the top? Can't paint the top for obvious reasons but I don't want it looking like crap either. Gets very humid here in the summer to make it worse. Got my new plasma cutter a week ago and am eager to get my...

    Power angle plow or fixed pusher?

    I picked up a 6' Myers plow last weekend to go on my B3300. Looking for opinions as to should I keep it as a power angle or convert it to a fixed pusher? I use a blower for the 1200' of lane and that won't change. Blade would get used around the buildings and parking areas. I like the idea...

    Hydraulic controlled bucket QA?

    I'm looking for ideas to convert my Kubota pin-type QA bucket to hydraulic controlled. I change back and forth between bucket and forks a lot and am looking for ideas to make my life easier and my need to switch between attachments will only grow over the years. I've talked to Jery at...

    4 spool rear remote install on B3300SU

    When I bought my tractor, I knew I wanted rear remotes. In fact, I knew I wanted a bunch of them. The Kubota kit was astronomical in price for just one valve, never mind their 2 or 3 spool options. I wanted minimum of 3, 4 was better. Dealer was a bit confused when I wanted the blower with...

    Small round baler?

    What is the smallest round baler that you can buy and still get parts for? We are planning on moving further out (our rural 7 ac just doesn't cut it for us) and will most likely have animals of some sort. I'm well familiar with making hay but not so up round bales, we just called the neighbour...

    Mechanical Thumb conversion to Hydraulic

    I very quickly got tired of getting off the tractor to set the mechanical thumb and often found myself batting stuff around with the bucket to get it to just the right spot where I could leave the thumb in one spot. I had already installed a 4 spool hyd valve for remotes (3 rear, 1 future...

    Single tooth ripper or 3 tooth rake on BH?

    I've got a B3300SU with the BH77 hoe with thumb (soon to be converted to hydraulic). I've got a bunch of cleanup to do around the yard from old (small) piles of brush that need moved and burnt to piles of old building debris mixed with steel, concrete, dirt, etc that I need to sort thru to burn...

    Stick & Branch cleanup on my lawn?

    I've got about an acre of lawn and 1200 ft of lane with a ton of trees that like to shed their branches. Primarily maple, willow and poplar dropping branches from the size of a pencil to the size of my arm. Cleanup in the spring is a pain by hand. Ground is rough (I probably need a dozen...

    B3300SU with PB BH and rear remotes?

    I have a Kubota B3300SU with 504 FEL and BH77 backhoe running off the PB port from the loader. I want to add at least 4 sets of remotes, 5 would be better. I'd like 2 pair run to the loader - grapple or snow plow and hydraulic QA bucket. The other 3 would be used for hydraulic thumb when the...

    Hello from Ottawa Ontario

    I've been lurking for quite a while now but finally thought I'd sign up. Currently have a B3300SU with backhoe, 60" RFM and 64" blower. I grew up on a farm and have driven most of the major brands of tractor from NH TC23 up to 300HP Case articulated. AC, Massy, JD, Ford, NH, Case, White...
