    Box Blade Identification

    Can anyone help identify this box blade? I'm looking at buying one and came across this one. It looks like the end plates are fairly heavy duty. Thanks folks!

    Building a grapple for my forks

    Okay, so I made some progress this evening. It's been raining all day so it's nice and cool in the garage. Starting out with this. The grapple frame is made of 2"x1/4" wall and 3"x1/4" wall square tubing. The Hobart 240v machine does a much better job than I'm capable of doing. From...

    Building a grapple for my forks

    I'm going to be building a single grapple finger for my FEL forks. I'll be basing it off of Cotech's design. I have a 2"x8" hydraulic cylinder. I've got a set of JD forks that the actual forks attach by having a round bar running through the top of each fork. The fork frame has 2 horizontal...

    Changing a Tire Tube with Ballast

    Ok folks, so I spent a gorgeous Saturday changing a suspected back tube in one of the rear tires of my JD4600. The tires are 17.5x24, and I purchase a Firestone tube for $60 at a local tire shop. I also purchased a few tools that I will post links to show you what I used. Here's what I had...

    Any way to test for calcium chloride in tires for ballast?

    I've had my JD4600 for less than a week now. It came with weights on each wheel and I just assumed it didn't have any liquid ballast so I didn't check the rims for corrosion. I was looking the tractor over tonight in the garage and one of the rims has some corrosion around the valve stem. I...

    4610 Hours

    I've come across a few used 4610's for sale. One has ~2500hrs, the other ~3000hrs. Other than that, they are similar. They both boast 2.0L Yanmar 4TNE84 engines. Assuming basic maintenance (quality oil and filter changes) was performed at the correct times on the engine, approximately how...

    Tractor Sizing Recommended size for firewood/logging

    Thanks folks. The good thing about a chainsaw mill is the ability to take the mill to the log instead of the other way around. The log in my pic was bucked up into 24" long rounds then loaded onto my flatbed with a sub-30HP Massey Ferguson HST tractor for firewood. One of those rounds in the...

    Tractor Sizing  Recommended size for firewood/logging

    I've been researching tractors over the past few weeks, spent a little time at the JD dealer yesterday inquiring about used tractors. From what I've been reading I should be looking at a 40-50HP tractor, can you fine folks confirm or recommend something different? I'm looking for a tractor to...
