I would like a tipping trailer to go behind the tractor. Ideally I like to be able to fill it, tow it and dump with leaving the seat, I don't know if this is possible. I could build something similar to the one I built for someone else just not as big (see pic). I would put a remote control...

I have made small stock crates for sale. Not really, I had the steel and was having fun so why not.

I decided I wanted a toothbar and enquired about the piranha toothbar but shipping was hugely expensive so I decided I would just make one. I bought twin tiger teeth to get the best penetration force. Welded it up this morning. I also made a ladder rack (that's what we call them here...

I bought my first real tractor. It was delivered yesterday. Kubota BX2200 FEL, MMM What's your favourite attachment or accessory?

Your complaining about that costing 96,000. Over here this rig is listed at 108,000 second hand....

I make feed bins and sell them (here's a video for interests sake https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsbhh21kvQM&feature=youtu.be) The root of the problem is that plywood comes in 4x8 sheets (or 1.2x2.4 as we call them) obviously I have to cut them and that's the problem. How to cut ply repeatably...

I have this idea to make an 'attachment' to turn my two wheeled tractor into a mini tracked front end loader. Using 12v winches to operate the front end loader, and gas struts to hold the bucket down when picking up dirt etc (when the winch lifts it overrides the gas struts). And making the...

Almost a year later it is finally finished! :cool2: The machine it's behind isn't what's going to be pulling it. I am pretty happy with it, just a few things could be better but it's operational. What do you think?

How many of us on here are 'into' cycling either on or offroad? Let's see your steed. Anyway here's my offroad steed. https://www.flickr.com/photos/133344782@N07/18118304515/in/dateposted-public/ I couldn't get a photo to upload so hopefully this link will work.

It hasn't got big wheels all around but... I think these machines are pretty neat. Aebi TT206 (Terratrac) | ASH Aebi Schmidt Holding AG

I am looking at a Fordson power major tractor, well actually there is two both not currently running. One is good except for the injector pump and the other one has a crook crankshaft and is in pieces. How easy is it to replace the injector pump? Are they a good tractor? What would be a decent...

I finally got some more done. It is on wheels :cool2:

I don't know about that, but I must admit I do like creating things. The hardest thing is knowing what to make and funding it... Here are the promised pics, sorry they aren't really that good.

Progress has been a bit slow. I got the base of the bed done a few weeks ago but didn't get anymore done until today. I also welded caps on the ends of some of the main beams. I did the end of one of them and filled it with water... and it held I was pretty impressed considering the 15yo novice...

It is a Jacobsen YT16 Yard Tractor, I like it lot. :laughing:

A walking beam trailer has a beam that a wheel attaches either end and it pivots in the middle allow a lot more movement than a standard setup. Here is an animation I made of what a walking beam does.

This is what I have come up with, thoughts welcome. If I make the design of the walking beam the same as in the drawing except mount a piece of 1in pipe on top (to save inserting it into the beam), and then modify the pins so that you can grease it. I made a trial pin to see if I could do it...

I am going to a build a walking beam axle ATV dump trailer (inspired by MUTS and DR Versatrailer). But I have a couple of questions mainly about the walking beam axle suspension. How should I make the centre pivots for the walking beam? I wondering if the pivot in my drawings would be strong...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but anyway here it is. Tractor Invention - YouTube

I am thinking of building a sulky. It would be solidly attached to the tractor, with swivel wheels on the back. The purpose of it is to pull a trailer. I have a couple of questions, one is it all right to use the steering brakes for 100% of the steering? and are 8 x 2in swivel wheels big enough...

It is a single phase AC, we have a 15A power point we plug it into though. I did some fiddling with my welder so I can show you how bad I am. The first three are of what I did today, the next one is something I also did today but it is just weld on a 1.6mm thick tube and the last three are some...

Here are some photos of my welder, it australian made so I don't know if you can help.

I know it has probably been talked about before but I asking again. I have a standard stick welder(big, not portable), if I were to replace it what would you suggest? Inverter? Mig? or what? I mainly use it for RHS up to about 3-4mm thick (don't know the conversion). And I know there another...

I had another idea, that is to have a trailer (see pic 2) that can move bins (see pic 3) and tip them. Then dig into the side of a hill (see pic 1) and so you can put an empty bin in the bottom and tip the full one from the top. The red thing on the trailer in pic 2 is a manual hydraulic and the...

What do you fellow 2 wheel tractor users suggest in terms of maintenance. We have used our tractor for approx. 30hrs and wondering what to do in terms of oils and filter? Thanks in advance

What do you think about getting a tiller gearbox and turning it into a compost turner like the big ones but on a small scale?

First of all sorry for being a pest and asking so many questions. So here I am pestering you again. Now I would like honest opinions on 12v actuators for use in a front end loader. Also the front end loader will probably go on the two wheeled tractor I know it sounds ridiculous but anyway. So...

The grillos are according to the websites don't have all speeds both directions (not that matters with soil working ). From what I have heard the difference between the BCS/Ferrari/Pasquali and the grillo is that the BCS are a bit more user friendly and a bit dearer ($ is comparable here) than...

We have an adjustable ridger it is adjustable from 12in to 21in. For cleaning your paths I think it would be great, but not so good at hilling potatoes we used ours to dig a trench to plant potatoes and also used it to cover them up again it attaches at the back of the rotary hoe so you can kind...

They say you only need two things to fix anything duct tape and WD-40 "if it is moving and it shouldn't be use duct tape if it isn't moving and it should be use WD-40"

I would "like" to build a towable backhoe. It needs to be able to dig clay/shale. I like the greenmachines one (see link) just more like the ground hawg (see link) in size. I think hydraulic rotation would be better though. Has anyone seen or have a clamshell bucket on a backhoe, I was thinking...

Lets see your two wheeled tractor. Here is ours.

Is it at all possible that Australia could be added to the regional forums, if not don't worry, just a thought.

Any one who has made any attachments and would like to share them with the rest of us please do, I want to see them. :thumbsup:

This is a project I have been working on over the last the days. It started has a clay/shale bank. The idea is to stop it eroding and make it grow something. I rotary hoed it so it was loose then shoveled it into shape then rotary hoed it again to level it. We then put the pieces of concrete in...

I am thinking of build a trailer like muts or drpower's versa trailer. But with a rear end loader. I have attached some drawings. Any suggestions?

I wrote a list of what I thought were the goods and bads of dozers, bobcats and tractors, so here it is. I have any additions or criticisms please reply.

I am not looking to buy a tractor but I think this is an interesting comparison for discussion. , If you wanted a 4in1 bucket, slasher, rotovator and post hole digger. And you wanted to be able to clear trees/brush up to 8" round in reasonable rough and rocky country. What would you get, Tractor...

The loader is not going to be carrying a lot of weight. Here is a photo of the front configuration. I worked out that I would have to put 250kg (550lb) of weight on the front bucket before it would take the rear wheels off the ground. I think i will leave the dis brake idea for now. I was...

Here photo of our walking tractor.

I have a ride on mower trailer that I temporarily modified to go behind the walking tractor, but I was thinking of still using the tray but rebuild the rest so it is a bit more user friendly. Does anyone have any ideas of what I should or shouldn't do? I was think tip it from the rear of the...

I have a two wheel tractor, a ride on mower and an ATV. I would like a front end loader for one of these machines. Does any one have any ideas of which machine to use and how to do it ? Thanks :)

Just a rough sketch.

Why don't you build a loader for your BCS?

I would like to make a bed former for my 2 wheeled tractor. I have 4 x 17in plough discs. Does any one have any suggestions? http://http://www.ausfarmingco.com.au/main/page_bed_formers_dgw_single_row_bed_former.html Thanks
