Okay, I will check only the "critical" needs and I don't have to have the freezers on continuous, so I may go with the 7200 that's 3000watts more than we use now, and better in tractor, good info!! Thanks. And doghouse will actually be big, wife said to get a small carport to park tractor and...

I.figured it would work from what I was seeing. Thanks! I will order it and a shaft. I thought of building a dog house for it since it will be crappy weather when it's needed,

Looking to pick 1 up, problem is hp rating@ 7200 watt is 14 hp, that's not much better than my gas genie 12000 watt is 24 hp, this would be ideal But my tractor is 19.5 hp, can I use the bigger one? At reduced capacity? Like 10000 watts

Not much to add but I have always removed all plugs or glow plugs before testing so engine spins faster and no chance of starting. Rings could be..."washed" that's the term I know and can be glassed from no load at break-in of new engine or grit has done the same. Do you have a bore scope? To...

I will try it on some flat ground first, I just haven't done it yet and the interwebz...are scary 😁 I will need to do it next month just wanted it to go easy, I can do the block thing to keep it off the ground. Or even used pavers, I have a ton left over in the barn, heck I may flatten the...

Thanks everybody, especially like the 3 small pad idea, 2 1-1/2x1-1/2 for rear tires and a 3x3 for the BH might work, all on the same plane!

When we had to qualify with our M3 grease guns, we would take the back sling off and hold it down with our foot, grab the magazine with the asbestos or ? glove we had for aft caps and fire away at the targets, only way to somewhat control it :ROFLMAO:

Wow, just binged the thread, sorry about your dad, we lost both our fathers to cancer, prayers out for you and your family. This is an insane issue, when you have time, I would def. go scorched earth with media on this

Don't forget stripper clips....not the Ho' kind either ;) Green tips also

Frame was a ref. to pour the concrete into, I was thinking faster than my 2 fingers can type Dirt floor in the barn, figured a pad would make it easier to R&R the BH

How's it, I enjoyed 3 weeks in S.Africa back in 2010...beautiful land and people

Wow talk about a cold weld :oops::oops:

See post #23 😁

Lizards? Florida right, it's open season I heard. Mine will be an AR or 22 suppressed, ground hogs, coons and coyote mostly, random dogs we have running around. Thought of a simple humvee mount but don't have floor space

Getting ready to soon need to drop BH on my tractor, I am thinking about building a frame and pour a concrete pad maybe 3x4 to set it so it's level when I take it off and then back on, but it may be level but the ground is now a variable...thoughts?

The old Ford I just drilled holes in dash cowl and used the rubber axe, shovel, clamp things. Need to get it mounted, will probably wait until I do the cage to mount it to. So watcha got? Or link to an existing thread please

Was it this kind? or? If the 2nd one, how do you lose fingers with these?:unsure: surely they didn't try to clear a clogged grass chute with it running...right?

Your title block is blank 😛 What are you drawing in? And is the lower mount for the lift cylinder low enough?

?

Old quonsen hut, used to be used for drying and sorting tobacco, added a loft for hay storage, cut some of it out for a ladder to feed animals....now I cut it up for her bed

We have always wanted an orchard so, we started last year, and just added 10 more trees in the last 2 weeks or so

So used it extensively this weekend, it rocks!! DURING, had some wire to cut out also, 1st layer is out. THE AFTER PICTURES

2nd part of the equation came down to we got 3 quotes to do a bunch of grading, erosion and water control etc. The bids were between $25K and $50K so the wife Sayed to just rent a machine and we can do it ourselves, well you can't rent when you have no idea what the weather will be doing....so...

(long winded post) It has been a farm in one way or the other since beginning of time, my wife's parents got the land and built a brick house on it in the late 60'S. Big garden and they raised tobacco until the mid 2000's, we started and raised about 2400' of Kennebec potatoes for 10 years and...

So lots of briars! AFTER

So started with cleaning the crap at the Barn Then dig out the door Found the hay! Next went looking for the chicken coop with the Rake attached BEFORE AFTER Next we moved to the other side...

So, been cleaning the chick's new home, Still gotta replace a few boards today...in the rain....farm folks are stronger, mentally and physically than normal folks because we do stuff when it needs to be done....raining, snowing, -5* feeding...we have to take care of our animals.. And of...

Kraken that is the most badass cub cadet I've ever seen (y)

Ones I have bought They go in and out of stock weekly

:unsure:.....:oops:......:ROFLMAO:

Make sure to tag me for a picture of yours ;)

Your correct (both of you) bush hog on small hp tractor can grab these vines, some are from the 70's....and wraps it tight absolutepain in the arse when you hit them and trees start swaying as vines wrap up, now that the vines are out of the way I can bush hog them until we spray them. Now I...

When is this happening? I forgot ;) Fire pit is good safe bet.

CSGM "The Skull" who was a Vietnam vet once told me while standing on a dock in Saudi that you always need to have a spork on you at all times...unlike a spoon...you can always use a spork to kill the enemy....and still eat ice cream.

Oops 🤪 fixed thank you!

I do but they attach to the bucket and I lose to much lifting capacity 4ft from pivot point.

That's why I went rear pull with the float function Bush hog does no good when the vines are 20+ ft long, I back drug this a 1/2 hr ago, need to take this fence down, it was nice to surgically remove the thorn bushes. Before After Going back outside...

It's really stout now, a crosstube brace would make it harder to install, I have about 1/16 flex at 2ft to line up the receivers

It's really stout now, a crosstube brace would make it harder to install, I have about 1/16 flex at 2ft

Don't think I will need weight, I made it so it is even with bottom of bucket, that let me use the float function, you can see it lift up the tractor, as I back pulled

Sounds fun, you have plenty of "stuff" to do....feel it out, when your showing him around at first, walk by "whatever" that's xyz, ever driven one? Want to? This is where we xyz....ever tried it? Want to? This exposes every day things/chores and gives him a chance to choose what he wants to...

Easily pulls out so it can be stacked Also added braces to back teeth I think it will do double duty as Zombie body cleanup 🤔 😁 Grabbed a Ratchet strap....let's try it out. It works, I took it easy since there are to pins installed, so I have acouple places to put a ball if I...

Got 99% done yesterday, still need to drill hole for pins. Mounted the 2 receivers, this will allow me to remove the Rake and also I can use a 2-1/2 PC of tube to extend these 6 more feet. I grinded off the angle I used to move chicken coop. Main legs checking alignment Front teeth...

Thanks...good thing I'm American....and have a kubota 😁

;) use all the leverage and help you can...

Lol...what would they be called 🤔 I just went with Quick Release...stupid question is that qr code you posted actually one for the picture? I'm DOS/win3. Old :p SSQA What is that?

So these finally showed up...notice price tags? NOS...wonder how old they are 😅 I chose these because there are extra mounting holes already attached, for adding stuff in the future

So I grabbed a couple of these 1/4" plates for cheap (I can't buy the steel, cut it out ,bend it and weld it for the price I have paid between $95 and $119 shipped! Free to me. So I needed to move the older chicken coop about 500 ft I tack welded a piece of 1/4" angle iron on the front of it...

Used bucket to lift and move the coop to the right and square it up, left it on spare wheels. So then I tacked a PC of angle on a QR plate, and set it under the coop end, laid a PC of 1-1/2 square x 3/16 wall across angle to support the whole end. Couple straps around the base and then over the...

Great call on the diagram! Still amazed that oem doesn't have more adjustments, and op could of made this just 1 page if he would of said he pulled the pins, I thought they were just pins for the attachment 😁

The law probably says "must have chains attached" 🧐 :p😁

I went through it quickly, a tractor is but a machine with levers, gears and swirly go around pieces...easy peezy right? Quick glance at the floor upon delivery...OK... brake pedals, fwd/back lever and a lever sticking out the floor.... Kool, so last night I was going to dump rocks, and...

Atleast they don't need to worry about the hitch rusting into the receiver :ROFLMAO:

Grab a 4x4x1/4" PC of steel angle, draw 2in teeth on one side, use angle grinder to cut out teeth, clamp to bucket lip with teeth facing down and drill 5 holes in the uncut side to bolt to bucket and now you have teeth you can back drag with... Look at the similar teeth on the Rake I'm...

I worked at a transmission shop after school back in like 86, had a tan nova come in, trans slipping and leaking fluid, owner had me put it on a lift to check it out...holy hell, I was like this stinks...he had hit a deer, it was stuck everywhere from front bumper the the rear end. The leak? It...

How is that little dozer been for you? How old is that model?

I know everyone says it's not threaded etc. But that rod end/heim joint had to be installed; it is either threaded into the steel tube all the way, or it is inserted and pinned which means there is a pin that can be removed. And I believe since they both have spin adjusters on the steel tube...

Just attached to the factory ROPS? I would never do that, that is a lot of leverage that if it folded down it would probably hurt or kill you, even 1/2 inch plate would bend if a 100 pound something fell on it 36 inches from the pivot point, or shear/bend or strip the bolts OR it will bend the...

I was going to post this question also, it seems very slow to load and the little tractor symbol spins half the time im on here and that is with adblocker on work, home computer, phone and tablet. This is the only site I go to daily that is slow to load

It wasn't raining last night so I grabbed the tractor and collected the rocks from planting 10 more fruit trees on Sunday

It wouldn't hurt to get a couple old plastic 1 gallon buckets, drill a 3/8 hole about 1/2 in from the bottom. Place the bucket with the hole on the upper side and pour a gallon or 2 of water the hole will let it soak in, move the bucket and water a 2nd and 3rd bush when you tackle the 1st one...

I'm on a go-kart forum and this is something we press hard on new owners/riders and especially parents.... Except the cab part...

This weekend I need to finish digging this out, it is the interim housing while I fix/modify etc to their bigger coop. Egg opening I have a couple trees to cut down Then figure out exactly how to move it, I did use the FEL to get front off the ground, after I remove the trees I may...

Looks like I never posted these little guys yet :unsure: So back into chickens again after a 6 year hiatus. They out grew the 1st box in just a week. So I made a new cardboardboxominium for them...just like the Jefferson's they are moving on up! Definitely cleaner this morning

I say go for it, I told a couple neighbors that if the couple "problem" neighbors ask about the pallets, to tell them we are planning to get 50 hogs and this will be for the walls for their enclosure :ROFLMAO:

Nope, she did :p She has some kind of wall of pallets, filled with dirt and plants and such....damn Etsy, Pinterest and HGTV :ROFLMAO: Thanks, this coming weekend should be fun...

So, wife says "I got a good commission check this week,, for the yard" Ugh, okay....:rolleyes::unsure: Got to use the new forks again... Both trailers are full.... The 3 of use did this load....next 50 pallets was on me as they went to buy plants....these were fkn heavy...50 pallets for a...

Well so far today I made a dirt pile Came from here...worked on it today it ,and put angle on it

Yup, I have some work to do this summer/fall, in the little trees 30ft. Tall with dead limbs possible drop limbs. A roll cage and limb risers to protect falling branches out of trees with dead limbs So I was thinking/figuring out the 6 points to mount to tractor, just gotta measure all the...

Installed chain hooks... And started to plan cage..

So, I have low ball offers from everyone including a couple auction houses, so...I picked it up and moved it to the goat shed. Plan is to cut 1 foot out off each side, chamfer, weld, grind and have a 5ft box blade for about$700 total and that includes the $600 purchase price12 years ago or so...

Well I mounted my chain hooks Yes they are zombie green, I ordered safety yellow, but out of stock. Went to move the 8ft box blade... Well, that went over like beans in real chili... Just like with the blocks....I wondered 🤔 how much does the damn bucket weigh? Took off bucket and put my...

Thanks! Now to today's trials and tribulations... You know how your supposed to read and understand the manual on a piece of equipment? And yes the wt. Limits for the FEL based on distance from pivot point....are real and a fact 🤪 You would of thunk? 🤔 So...950#'s plus bucket 3 ft from...

Thank you.

So this came in the mail, 1/4" QR backing plate, metal, bent and welded with free shipping for $119 no way in hell I could of made it for that. test fit...perfect! The face This will end up being 3 or 4 different tools when done.

Forgot to upload I guess.. Here are pcs. deburred and ready Had to bend them.. next tacked them up welded

Im an idiot, I found it deeper in settings, Thank you!!

When I click on it it goes to google maps? and I can't click on it to type?

Like title says, it wants me to I guess choose a map location...I want to put a simple title there instead Thanks

1/4" A36 steel basic structural for teeth and braces, I will use 2x2x1/4 wall tubing some A36 3/16 plate for braces, everything structural will made of low carbon steel so no tempering or annealing. I will add a 2" rec. And build a quick release boom for it.

lol, no. I did this all this weekend, I meant I haven't welded in 2 years and it looks like it...not pretty but good penetration

Dropped bucket (1st time)easy, test fit 1/4" QR back plate. Gosh, it's amazing what 2 years does on your welding skills... :oops: They are ugly but good flow, they won't break doing this Until next time. EDIT...fixed grammar

Well, ended up with these pieces, Had to bend them 90* So....goodnight yall

So, I used a friend's Rake, in my mind it sucked and was way too $$$$ I had some old leftover metal and went into cad and did some drawing Put it into sheetcam Generated my G code, added my G92 X0.0 Y0.0... Next?....make sparks... Going to fix brunch and do some more work...mmm? I wonder...

Not to be too critical BUT most built in USA manufacturers don't realize that when they put that flag orientation on a product that "moves" it is a sign of retreating...Ole Glory always waves backwards as you move forward...as you move towards Victory..."Brave Rifles"......"Veterans".....just...

Glad your ok OP...my come to Jesus move was with a full bucket of dirt on the 67 F5000, going down hill, dirt/grass very wet put brakes on...the R1's grabbed first 2 inches of grass and peeled it away...!! it was on, like Jamaicans on a BOB SLED.. luckily my hand was on the bucket and I just...

So, I made this post in my project area, and figured I'd move it here because some folks have asked me about the tires, I really like them so far. I have about 15 hours on them so far. It has been wet this past 3 weeks, they work awesome in the field on bush hogged hay surfaces, they seem to...

Any pictures

I ordered one like the above. I thought I posted , I guess not Thanks

So I'm getting a 55 gallon barrel from work, it had hydraulic or way oil in it. I bought a basic hand pump setup, I want a simple filter from the pump Nozzle to a filter and then simple fuel Nozzle for tractor. Talking maybe 2 gallons a week, BUT I want to have 25/50 gallons on hand...what...

But admit it, it sucks to sit down with a cup of coffee and....wet butt.... 😅

Lol, nope! She is a Ford warranty administrator, when it came on the lot and into the "assessment bay" she told the owner she wanted 1st dibs, it is a local vehicle 47k miles no rust! It was owned by a DAV, he basically only drove it 30 miles to his VA appointments. No rust, can I say that...

That is about exactly how I made the last one, thanks for pictures

Yes

Is that 3/16" or 1/4"...or? That's what I'm looking for! No need for forward teeth. If I have to i will l make one, my plasma table is only 36x48 so I will need to make two pieces and weld them together. This will be for a very specific project for reclaiming some land.

I'm game, nice truck is a 2012 F150 with 47k miles on her, it's the wife's, the mint red one in background. The work truck 2003 super duty 7.3 with 300/600 tune, I put a dump bed on her, she's well north of 260k miles But she's a fat girl

When I had my Ford 5000, I made a tooth bar out of a 6x6x5/8 angle iron, I used a grinder and cut off wheel to make the teeth on both edges. It slipped over the bottom lip of the bucket, and straps around bucket held it on. So I had teeth to the front and down under the bucket I used it to...

She's 9hr old....and she lives like a hobbit 😁 Today,I played in the mud like I was 5.....she looks like a ...ugh...cute pig? 😅

😁 :ROFLMAO:... crap, that was kind of redneck...of me....:unsure:....:p

I was unsure at 1st. Only used R1 and turf and the w bar ones, the last 2 suck, these are 100% better. And they don't tear up the yard..urghh..mud pit as bad as R1 I took some video and will do a tire review, several folks have asked...they are like an R1 took advantage of a drunk super swamper...

Long day in the rain...R14 pimp shot...what a sloppy mess Had to use BH to break up the clay I've made it about 15 feet wider... dirt piledup...may name her ms.piggy Hard trenching, clay,then glacier rocks and let's mix in maganite and some other molten lava iron glass crap...holy crap...

OP curious, where is SE TN? I'm NE TN the S.O.F. area...

Thanks! Definitely can use them, yesterday I spent 1/2 my time using the BH teeth to break the clay and stuff up then used the bucket to clean it up, but I can't back drag with them...maybe I need a 2nd tractor :ROFLMAO:

I shaved almost a foot off the top in the corner area.

I probably moved 25 or 30 buckets of dirt, mostly piled up some was spread out, to soak up water, this was almost all water when I started....now it's all mud 😁 Next is to move the trailer and load the fire pit onto a pallet and move it out of the way. Oh,and my pallet forks came in...

So the issue is a ****** up grade job that they quite, because they ran out of "money" and we gave them the grade plans, I told him you need to dig down 13 feet to get the flat area we need, every day we would say more, like the drawings....finally we came home his equipment was gone. We used...

I could definitely See that, i am going to put a block of wood under the bucket for that reason thanks!

I figured it was normal just wanted to check, Thanks! After this....I was curious about the dealer prep, this is a 100% good rated dealer...just no-one bothered to put the set belt on. :p

1/2 Hour of FEL work and I looked back and noticed it bled down about 3 inches at the pin holes, so I pulled BH back up and dropped the pin it, that dropped the bucket maybe 6 inches closer to the ground

How far do the teeth stick out OP?

So talked to salesman he said it's typical, so keep travel pin in. I've never had hydraulics bleed down unless an external leak (don't see) or internal leak by a spool valve with junk. Is this "normal?

It is! Been here 25 years...love it perfect all around weather, plenty of lakes and rivers, ocean is only 8 hrs away Easy triangulation, have posted enough pictures online since 1999... It's definitely GOD'S country here

1hr from Bristol TN/VA, 1 hr from Boone NC and 1 hr from Johnson City TN...middle of nowhere..almost ;)

Mmm...wife is on it, can she make me the one to get texts? For transaction...Android phones..

No worries, it's been 10+ years since I bought it, got it just to clear and level a garage and driveway, I bought the biggest one they had, literally used it a couple days and then into the barn, it still has sold on it in grease pencil,lol. I did talk to a friend who does the farm/livestock...

Sunday I played with fel, practicing for next big project, this is main reason I bought the tractor, we have a major drainage problem, that we had quoted to fix at between $25k and $50k from 4 different contractors, they knew it couldn't be fixed w/o a dump truck and a way to move and...

So I have a B2601 tractor, I need a box blade for it. They are frikn $$$$ for a 5 ft blade, so I have a 7ft or 8ft almost new box blade. I have tried to sell it but no luck, most people don't have a big enough tractor for it. It is paid for, so I am thinking about cutting it down and rebuilding...

Thanks 👍, Damn...Tyler Texas....was a crazy place back in 1994-ish. Friend lived there and rode rodeo when he wasn't laying block/brick and the sweethearts...wild visits for sure!!

Got a bunch done on day one, this is alot more tractor than my friends, I am glad I went this route. I have bolt on hooks coming in next 2 weeks. I really could have used them yesterday. Started with this mess, 25 years of farm crap. rolled up wire, old mower, a seeder, bush hog and misc...

So, rain stopped at about 9 am, so went towards the barn so I can fix her bed to sleep in.... Looks like I need to cut down the bed sides, it worked BUT I still have a 6in lift kit to install. (Old Ford lifted a foot+ more) Full.... Let's empty and grab lunch ..well honey...

Lol, when I got it, it actually had sawdust in the oil, I cleaned it out and just keep it full, I would get an hour of use,before filling back up Great idea, corn head grease,interesting

Yes,HST Oldandtired....very good idea,2-1/2 ft is better than a saw,clippers,weed eaters..hell!!!!

Great info! I have it; might as well rebuild it, I could always sell it and get a 4ft. Thank you!

I found my old bush hog I used with my Ford 5000, I know I had to fill up gearbox every time I used it. So if I take apart gearbox and replace seals or unit. I would have to modify cat 2 to cat 1, no biggie. Can I use it with my kubota B2601? Can I get a shaft to link them? I went on their...

Thanks, plenty to do...arrest me red 😁 pretty.

Holy crap its rained alot last 4 hours, My backyard/pond has a few inches of water already... I did get her behind the house... Hopefully the rain washes the mud off...

She is here! I am frozen now, need to change clothes since its sleeting/snowing and raining. I'm going to throw a few burgers on the grill for lunch and then go drive it around.

So barn started like this Cut out sides While cleaning up this morning, found the fish skins 20 MIN. Out! I hope it's enough space...

We have plenty of animals here that's for sure, raccoons, possums, fox's, coyotes, bears. The bears are a real nuisance, besides trash their fat asses knock crap off the deck, turn over chairs as they waddle around. Waiting for tractor, it's getting ready to start raining and snowing...it's...

I need to rake/fill the paths they walked in. This has been dry every year (25 years) but 1, and it flooded for a week. So dirt is good, I like the wood idea on top, I was thinking gravel.... Do you use a hard or soft wood chip?

Thanks! it's been a long wait for a new tractor/tool/toy..I miss having one, can't wait until morning...kind of like Christmas in the early 70's. 😁 Need to work on her bed in the morning, I cut the stall walls out and feeders off the walls...everything is in a pile to move, finish fixing door...

Thanks! It will be used on backyard project 1st, hope to get it done this year. I have a couple friends with the bx sub compacts, I always use, so this should be fun. Funny thing is they now have tractor envy; I had it before last weekend 😅

1950 Farmall Super A, it has an 8v battery and across posts at high idle 7.3v or so This is after some time on a 6v battery charger so obviously it is not charging, searching the web I found many diagrams showing a 3 wire regulator and the body being grounded(corrosion seems to be a big issue...

So we are looking at one Right works awesome, quick, solid and quiet Left does nothing except a slight clanking noise and no stopping (both pedals have same travel) so basically take tires off, hubs and axle housing type thing? OR? Thanks

Wife just texted me and she bought a bush hog off someone at her work All I know is it is a 6 ft and worked when parked last year, so what to look for? good splines on pto? gearbox lubricated? no hardened bolts in shear holes? good bearings? no major cracks? Anything else? Thanks

Okay This may be an odd question. I am looking at putting four R1 7.0x16 tires on my old trooper to use on property for "logging operations and general tom foolery" Tires are bald etc and even with Super Swampers I would still need chains I can get the tractor tires cheaper than mud tire...
