Since there is no standard hardware connection between the front wheels and the steering shaft, only a couple of hydraulic cylinders, if one is unable to start the engine and needed to pull it somewhere, how would you steer it?

Can anyone tell me what pressure the loaded rears on my 3016/1526 should be? R4's they are. Tks.

I've been looking at videos of runaway diesels and noted that I have no fuel shutoff on my 3016. I've been looking at electrically operated valves that would simply require a flip of a switch to stop the fuel coming from the tank. But then I thought, I can't see how this thing could runaway...

This is going to be a weird post, but I discovered another use for a fel, besides just moving dirt and rocks. My brother lives next door thru a bunch of woods so we help each other out a lot. He's been restoring a 68 Nova for several years and has a real nice solid car in his barn which has...

Yesterday I got a chance to really look closely at the 1526 with bh. It really is the 3016 in every way, except for the tuned down engine. The loader and the bh are the exceptions. The fel has the joystick mounted on the rear fel mount. And the hoses are wrapped and fed down inside the loader...

While doing some machine work at my nearby Sportsmens club, I ran into a member who recently bought a new 1526. He now has about 50 hours on it and likes it but............. He has had problems with the hydro cylinders. An fel lift cylinder leaked past the seals, and both bh stabilizer...

I don't know if this has been posted before but I found it cool!

....during a trip to NH yesterday. I struck up a conversation with him. He said he has a large full time farm and had a JD for years, but needed something with more power. He got a 'big' Mahindra and when he got it home, he decided he could have saved some money by getting one a bit smaller...

Over the years I've found a backhoe can be much more useful for things other than just digging holes. I have been doing some renovations for a while and needed a rolloff for the stuff that needed to go away during the reno. The company I rented the rolloff from says I can't put 'appliances' in...

How do you guys remove stickers from vehicles? My dealer put several on various parts of my tractor and honestly, I want to remove some of the seemingly dozens of safety stickers that are plastered all over it. No lectures on the safety stickers please, I already know the dangers of all the...

have the lift cylinders mounted so the rod is fixed to the frame and the cylinder goes up to lift the arm instead of being turned around so the cylinder is fixed to the frame and the rod pushes up the arm? This means the hoses have to move to follow the cylinder as it moves up and the system...

I drove my 3016 down the road about a half mile to do some work at my local shooting range. I've done this many times over the past 2 years I've had my 3016. Always use the cruise control on the road. This time I get up to speed, and lift the cruise lock lever. I let off of the pedal and darn...

the 3pt stabilizers that (supposedly) keep the end of the 3pt arms from moving from side to side are sorta bugging me on my Mahindra 3016. I'm posting this here rather than in the Mahindra forum because it's more of a general question that might apply to a variety of brands. The arms I have...

I've been wanting some mirrors on my tractor since I got it. When plowing my driveway, or driving it down the road to do stuff at the neighbor's house, I can't see cars that might be behind me. I wanted something smallish that wouldn't get ripped off in the woods, so I settled on bicycle...

Has anyone discovered a touch up color for the yellow TSC implements?

I started this so others who missed the I can't see thread might pick up on it. In that thread, http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/welding/351885-cant-see-when-welding.html , I and many others said they had a real hard time seeing much of anything when they are MIG welding. I did some...

Does any one have 'feet' on their rear blade? I resurfaced my driveway with crushed dense pack stone just before winter. Spread it, rolled it and vibator packed it and it gave a good hard surface. With the freeze and that cycles we have about daily, after our first snow, I used my rear blade...

I've been stick welding fixing things and hobby stuff for 40 years. Never did it frequently enough to be able to be real proud of my welds, but I never had one break. Until a year or so ago, I always used fixed shade helmets or face shields. Last year I broke down and got a wire welder...

Recently my 90 yo Dad died. I have been tasked to help my 90 yo mother to get 'things' in order. We had gotten pretty much everything taken care of except for getting a few of her 'auto pay' bills switched over to new bank account we opened in her name only. Her electric bill is one and Comcast...

Lubing treadle shaft - 3016 HST While doing my 100 complete lube/change, I could find no way to lube the treadle on it's shaft. Any ideas ?

I really wasn't looking forward to this, other than a learning experience as how to do it best. Mistake #1: buying hydro fluid in 5 gal pails. Next time they will all be 2 gallon jugs....it'll cost more but the trouble will be less. Either holding 5 gallon bucket to pour it into a funnel in...

all of my granddaughters love my tractors. They start out on the Cub Cadet lawn tractor then they like to drive the 3016. Here's my 9 yo. I pick her up from the bus at the end of my long driveway and she drives it home. I usually ride with her on the fender but I let her take it for a solo run...

How much hydro fluid is left........... in a tractor, still in the cylinders and elsewhere when you drain the system? I'm getting ready to do my first hydro fluid/filter change and remembered that the fel, steering and there's got to be other places where the fluid won't drain from. It would...

I know there is a Cub Cadet forum but I'm posting this here as many people seem to ask what's a good lawn tractor to buy and the Cub is often mentioned with many other brands. I bought my LT1046 in 2012 and have had not a single issue with it. I'm in my 4th season of using it and I'm very glad...

more to come as the situation unfolds. Revised approximate weight.... 22-25,000 lbs.

I've had my BH on and off several times, and left it off all winter. Today I went out to put it back on and it took me nearly an hour to get everything lined up. I was really getting pizzed. Normally it takes about 5 minutes, but the fates were against me today. Once I had it just right, I...

It's beyond me why the 3016 doesn't come with one. It seems most tractors have them. I remedied that. After some figuring how to best and easiest make one, I decided on the following approach: 1) drill and tap a 5/16 hole in the end of each of the pins that hold in the tipper hydraulic rams...

for the first time last night. Can't remember if it was on Fox or CNN.

I've had it about 7-8 months now with no issues at all. 68 hours on it...about 25 moving snow. I noticed a little puddle under the right FEL lift arm, upper end. Turns out there is an adapter screwed into the hydraulic ram to size down the hole to the el for the hose to connect to. The adapter...

I got my 3016 last July and with a Summer, Fall and now several weeks of real Winter use, I figured some of you might like to know how they perform. I;ve read where R4's are not good in snow, so here's my experience. I preface this with the fact that I have had over 20 years of driving another...

CountyLine® Grader Blade, 6 ft. W - Tractor Supply Co. anyone use one of these? I just got one and hope I didn't make a mistake. I'll use it for snow and occasional driveway smoothing out. I went to the dealer where I got my tractor and his 6 foot version was offered to me at $625, list was...

I want a bucket level indicator on my 3016 and the dealer says there nothing available for a 3016 with the ML115 loader. Has anyone found a source for these or made one?

I did some measuring and found that 2 ammo boxes would fit perfectly behind the seat of my tractor. When i took the covers off, I found that the pins on one hinge fit into the holes of the other hinge and the 2 boxes connect together perfectly. I took the can covers off as if they had stayed, I...

I have 6 grand daughters, ranging from 8 to 22 years old.....all very smart kids. Today the 14 year old, Emily, asked me a question I couldn't answer. She's in a special honors group in high school. Her classes are set up for just for the super smart and she has an average of about 3-5 kids in...

I don't think all makes and models of tractors will be able to use one of these the simple way I was able to on my MAhindra 3016. I got the idea when I set a rake across the ROPS bolts and drove it around. It seemed ok but it could fall off easily unless I bungeeed it there. This is what I...

My brother has a CK20 and is interested in getting a SSQA setup for it. Does anyone have any idea where he could get the assembly that mounts on the FEL arms that would fit the CK20 ? The loader arms are pretty close together, it's a pretty small tractor so I don't even know if there is such a...

I posted a hydro question in the Mahindra section, but it might be better to have posted it here. If you'd check out this link, I'd appreciate it. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/mahindra-owning-operating/321270-first-minor-issue-my-new.html Thanks

I've been using my new tractor for about a month and have about 20 hours on it. Everything is fine with the tractor itself but an issue has come up with the BH. The BH was fine until yesterday when it started making a whistling wssssshhh sound thru the hydraulics. It's particularly loud when...

I find that for my needs (so far), I don't need the power or speed of my tractor running at 2k+ rpms. Max hp is at 2400 rpms. Today I was out back cleaning up my woods and I had it going at 12-1500 rpms and it was providing as much hp and speed as I needed. I ran it about 3 hours that way...

I've had my 3016 for a couple of weeks now and when I bought it, my hearing aids were in the shop getting fixed. Well, I got them back yesterday and I'm hearing things I didn't before. When I turn on the 'ignition' switch to the glow plug setting, I hear a faint rattling sound. Sounds like it's...

Does anyone have any pictures as to where they've mounted a rear view mirror and/or front facing lights that will shine over an FEL? This would be for NON cab models. please. I want some mirrors and some additional lighting on mine. I figured the lights I could mount on the top sides of the...

Having just purchased my first diesel tractor, a Mahindra 3016,, I'm wondering about cold weather use. Living in New England, our typical winter is a teens or low twenties temp with usually a couple of weeks in the single digits or less. Most nights it's from 5 to 20 degrees. It used to be...

Got to give my new 3016 a work out in the woods today. I did stuff with the HST that I would never attempt to do with my old crunch both. What a pleasure to use a modern tractor. I quickly learned that the 3 speed tranny is very nice. Hi speed REALLY robs it of power, and low speed, well, I was...

I went over and got my new toy today. I haven't done much with it but try out all the levers and buttons, scoop something up,'thumb' something with the new BH and just generally learn what things are where. I've got a lot of reading to do tonight. I thought I'd post some pictures for a side by...

Went to a local dealer and saw one of the tractors in the lot with seats split wide open due to sun. Then I went to the dealer where I'm getting mine and even though the lot was full, and the sun was beating down, there were no split vinyl seats. Does anyone have problems with the seats...

Can anyone explain which diesels are exempt at this time? I've seen posted that 25hp and under are, then under 30hp are, then under 45hp are and even read that under 74hp are. Are any exempt in the 2014 models? I'm really confused and googling and reading what's there is even more confusing...

After much more deliberating and going back and forth to a Kioti and a Mahindra dealer, checking every aspect of both the CK27 HST and the Mahindra 3016 HST , and driving both, I've decided on the Mahindra 3016 with FEL and BH. The 3016 is almost 2 feet shorter overall, it looks like the BH was...

The closest dealer is about 75 miles away. Before I make a 150 round trip, I'd like to know more and the yanmar website tells you so little about their products. Where can I find stuff like weights, dimensions of their tractors and things like lifting capacities of fel, and any bh specs. This...

Somewhere on this site I saw a company that made a generic canopy out of the same material that dumpster covers are made from. It seemed like a great product. They were $199 including shipping, I think, but I can't find them now. Shoulda bookmarked it. Does anyone remember the link?

I've got a gravel driveway totaling about 600 feet long. The gravel that was deposited contains a mix of small stones, dirt and a few larger stones here and there, up to about 6 inches. I've been here 20 years and up til now I've been using my tractor bucket to dig up the dirt and back drag to...

Just went and revisited Kioti after I revisited Mahindra last week. I got some prices on a K2510 with FEL,BH and a CK27 with FEL, BH. These look really nice, for the second time, and I think the prices are as good as I'm going to find. K2510 $20,000 K27 $22,500 both are cash price...

I've finally decided I want either a Mahindra or a Kioti HST. I see pros and cons with each but I think each will do what I want or need. I'll need around 30 hp, plus or minus, fel,bh. Ive checked then both out, top to bottom and think they're both good machines. I'll decide on which exact...

If I click on a thread that I want to read, most of the time I go to the first post in the thread, however many times I will go to a completely random post in that thread. I just jumped to post #16 in a 24 post thread and recently I was sent to page 42 of a 45 page thread. I go to a random...

I will be buying a new tractor by Fall. I really want a Mahindra, I've checked them out and the xxxx 3016 is the one I'm leaning towards. Today I went to my local Kubota dealer and got a price for a B3300, with loader, hoe, ballast box and canopy... $24,800. Guess what the price for the...

Hi, this is my first post on this great forum. I'm really overwhelmed by the amount of info here. I tried the search engine but either I did it wrong and found nothing similar or there really is nothing similarly posted here. I'll be upgrading from my 1952 Ferguson TO30 with Wagner loader and...
