It used to be 6-8 four inch cutoff wheels swapping out harbor freight angle grinders as they’d heat up. Next time I’ll be running most of the slot on the Bridgeport I picked up last year.

This thing continues to work great for my application. Time well spent on this build.

Been using this setup for 6 winters now and it’s been great. Only thing I changed was to add a removable pipe to the cutting edge for when the gravel isn’t frozen. I’ve found I get about 3 winters out of the schedule 40 steel pipe before it wears through and needs replacement.

I've always run Husky's and when I was shopping for a firewood saw I looked at the Husky Ranchers and in comparison to the Echo there wasn't much comparison. The Ranchers are plastic clamshell engine cases and have autotune. I don't want electronics on a chainsaw. The Echo saws all have...

I tried chains on the front of mine the first winter with it but as stated above they make a VERY bumpy ride unless you’re driving IN snow with them. I installed GripStuds in the front tires and they’re excellent and not bumpy. I leave them in year round since I don’t drive on pavement in the...

Looks like it turned out great!

Geeze man...what saw is that, how sharp are those dogs, and how fast do drive bouncing the tractor around? I carry and Echo CS-620P in mine fairly regularly and my scabbard doesn't look nearly that bad. The Echo is a heavy saw (about 14.5 lbs with the bar) with dogs on both sides. Regardless...

Pics of my build are on page 12 of this thread but here are a couple pics of it finished. Being able to use the QH was an absolute requirement when I built mine.

It was difficult to see in the pics from my build but I also have a pair of vertical steel pieces that line up with the plow a-frame. They allow me to apply down pressure for back dragging or scraping but I also needed them as a sort of parking stand for the frame when it was off the tractor to...

Did you get your answer from the dealer? The torque charts I found go by bolt grade and bolt diameter. I have a 2655 which is essentially the same tractor and if I remember correctly the rear wheel bolts are 16mm grade 10.8 which puts the torque spec at 230-280 ft lbs. That said, when I was...

I had a sander for my yard plow truck but when I got the new tractor I started looking at other options since the ultimate goal was to replace the plow truck with the tractor. The only decent options I could find for SAND was an expensive PTO operated sander...most spreaders could only do salt...

This was my build using an 8' Fisher Speedcast plow on my Mahindra 2655. Here's a link to the full write-up: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/401291-snow-plow-build-finished-underslung.html?highlight=underslung

As RNeumann mentioned above it uses an intake manifold heater. It doesn't matter if you turn the key to the left or if you turn it to the right, the heater will activate. I agree it's silly and I never bother turning mine to the left. If I need to preheat it I just turn the key to the on...

I have the hydraulic rotator and deflector so I can't speak to how the electric option is.

I run chains on all 4 tires. Once my driveway is frozen and snow covered for the season they are pretty much required.

I have a crushed gravel driveway and a snowblower. Anyone in a similar situation knows the driveway isn't usually frozen for the first couple of storms of the season. The problem I found was even though the snowblower has skid shoes that are fairly large they would still just dig in. The...

Resurrecting an old thread to show the slotted pipe I added on my 8’ Fisher Speedcast Plow. I have loose crushed gravel on my driveway and hoping this will help keep from digging in before the driveway freezes. It is a 3" pipe with a clevis style point of attachment so it is easy to remove...

This one is just annoying. I mean if you're trying to have a picture of a tractor for sale can you get the guy who is standing in front of it reading something to move out of the way?

If you're looking for a good snowblower at a great price then check out WoodMaxx.com. They were among the best built when I was looking. Mine has hydraulic rotation and a hydraulic deflector but they also offer electric if you don't have the extra hydraulic remotes on the tractor. I also...

I've had my ballast in use for a while now and just realized I didn't post the pics of it. My bad, so here it is now. Estimated weight is 1300 lbs with the concrete and steel. My biggest objective was for it to be quick hitch compatible which it is. It is framed out around a Titan trailer...

There is one belt, two pulleys. It is a two speed depending on which pair of pulleys you have the belt on. Probably missing the c clips on the axle if the axle shaft is sliding laterally. See pic I'm sharing from the parts manual.

I have several areas where I would be needing to back into the area to mow them. This wouldn't be a problem with a rotary cutter but can you mow in reverse with a flail mower? The area doesn't have obstacles like stumps, it's just tall grass and brush. Would prefer not to have to back through...

Guessing the rod you're talking about is part number 5 in this diagram and the bolt you backed off is part number 20 and the part you jiggled is part number 2?

In my research on this I found that GL-4 is Hydraulic Fluid but GL-5 is different and has a different additive pack than GL-4. I have a Mahindra 2655 HST which is the same drivetrain as your RK55 and the TYM T554. While the TYM Manual says to use GL-4 and calls it "Gear Oil" the Mahindra...

That looks like a PITA too....4 pins to pull and line up when changing the hook position. Also 4 clips to drop on the ground and have to find in the weeds. I modified my HF QH so I could use these receiver hitch style pins but they'd work on other QH's as well. No clips to lose.

I have a 2655 Cab which is pretty much just the newest version of a 5010. It has two front vents that blow hot right on the windshield (if that's where you aim them) and then two others slightly further back just before the bump up in the roof and those only blow luke warm air. The four...

Reminds me of this one (or the many like it you can find online).

It's windrowing the snow. I have a front plow, rear blower. For decent storms I make one pass with the plow angled to push the snow toward the center, then reverse with the blower and it's gone. Works well. With small storms like 6" or less I just plow it and if the snowbanks get too big I...

I don't know how the manuals are for the India built tractors but the owners AND service manuals 2500 and 2600 Korean (TYM) built ones are a joke like you say. The service manual leaves A LOT to be desired. To answer your question, if your tractor is an HST then it would use Hydraulic oil...

I highly suggest when you buy your rear chains to get something like the Aquiline MPC chains. I have V-Bar ladder chains and MUST put them between the lugs on the R4 tires or the ride is VERY bumpy on hard ground. My regret is not spending more and buying the Aquiline chains in the first...

It was a sendoff befitting of the HERO Captain Joel Barnes was. 'Rest in peace captain. You were a hero': Thousands honor Capt. Joel Barnes Rest in Peace Captain Barnes. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

I built mine of similar design and have been using it as my primary snow removal tool this winter. No issues at all and I'm happy with it. The only adjustment I made was to shorten the chain slightly because if it's too long it changes the angle of the cutting edge of the plow and when the...

Words can't explain the sorrow being felt by the community or the family of Captain Joel Barnes. He gave his life to save his partner by shielding him from the intense heat of the fire that had trapped them. He has helped save many other lives in his career as a Paramedic and Fire Fighter for...

I added a SawHaul to my JD 350C dozer just a couple weeks ago. I use the dozer for skidding trees firewood and also for dragging ou difficult to fell trees, like ones I know will get hung up in others. It's great to not only have the saw on the dozer without having to hold it but also to have...

Why has this become so difficult? I am looking for good quality insulated leather work gloves yet any I find in stores don't seem durable and the big Amazon is full them but with very mixed reviews. I turn to you my fellow TBN'ers, have any of you found insulated leather work gloves that...

The shorter filter is model specific to the 2555, 2565, 2655, and 2665.

First off, EXCELLENT write up! Great detail! As RAHarden mentioned it doesn't appear you have the correct "new" oil filter for the engine. It seems MANY dealers are either unaware of the bulletin or are ignoring it to use up their old filter inventory. As stated in the post I made in the...

Check out the SawHaul. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/408614-sawhaul-must-have-chainsaw-carrier.html#post5346045 https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/407842-sawhaul-review.html SAWHAUL...GET ONE!!! - YouTube

So I've searched this forum and even through 13 pages of a chainsaw carrier thread and can't believe I've found little to no mention of the SawHaul chainsaw carrier made and sold by Kenny Finley in Chanute, Kansas. The SawHaul was originally designed for tractors and is priced well within reach...

I had the same problem with the hydraulic rotation being too fast in mine. Search for a 1/2” NPT flow restrictor fitting. It solved my problem and makes the rotation speed much slower and manageable now. You only need one restrictor. In this pic it’s the black fitting on the middle remote.

I'm surprised how many people don't seem to know about the Super Split kinetic splitter. No hydraulics and about a 3 second full cycle time. I have one an have split some pretty knarly wood on it. With typical wood, meaning oak, ash, maple, beech, etc if its cut into rounds I can split a cord...

Looking at PTO skidding winches and wondering if anyone has ever broken a cable on thiers.

It's possible to be snapping shear bolts if the shaft is on backwards but I'm impressed you are breaking grade 8 bolts. Mine was shipped from WoodMaxx with grade 5 in it but I'm also using the import shaft. I still haven't broken a shear bolt on mine and I have a gravel driveway. I thought...

I bought this red dye through Grainger. I had contacted the company, Kingscote Chemicals and they sent me an info sheet on it. You need very little of it to color the oil. It can also be used for engine oil. This is sraight dye, not one that requires a special to see like leak detection...

I've owned my JD 350C since about 2002 and it has always served me well without a lot of issues. The biggest thing I did to it besides putting on new tracks two years ago was to have the injector pump rebuilt which cost me about $750 about 10 years ago. Here's a pic of mine on the dealer's lot...

I used the one with 3/4" ports only because I could get a better deal on it at the time and I needed to add bushings anyway since the hoses from the 3rd function were 3/8" and the hoses to the plow are 1/4". Little tip, I mounted my crossover relief to the plow instead of to the QA plate so...

Anyone know if it is possible to convert a detent remote to a spring to center without just changing out the valve?

According to CamelCamelCamel.com now is the best time to buy. I paid $10.99 per set for mine when I got them before the price jumped up. As a side note, always best to check the price on Amazon stuff with a price tracking site. If its something you aren't in urgent need of it can save you a...

Does anyone know if there is a coolant drain plug on the engine block on the mCRD engines or will all of the coolant actuallty drain out using the radiator drain plug? Asking in reference to the 55hp engine but guessing they are the same across several HP engines.

Might I suggest reversing the FEL control lever? I did this one and it works well. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/mahindra-owning-operating/361260-2555-hst-cab-fel-control.html

There is plenty of room between the back of the frame and the front of the grille guard so no issue with raising the loader (see pic). I also designed the frame so it is narrow enough to fit between the loader arms if I were to rotate it like dumping the bucket. I can rotate it so the plow...

This is what I bought, ordered through Amazon.

oosik, I stole your idea and modified my grill guard too. I used the OEM grill guard on mine as well. This is a mod best done BEFORE you have to replace a grille.

I recently picked up filters for my 2655 including a few engine oil filters. When I was buying them the dealer said there was a new part number for the engine oil filter so those are the ones I got. It wasn't until I actually did the oil change that I realized the new filter was so much...

I changed it on my 2655 HST Cab. I think it is WAYY better for cab access in the adjusted position but I think the ideal handle position for actually using the loader would require the lever to be straight instead of having a bend in it. That may be my next modification but it will probably...

This is all I need to say....

You didn't look at my thread did you....underslung plow mount. Mounts on the loader but pulls the pin location of the plow back closer to the tractor and lessens the overall length as well. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/401291-snow-plow-build-finished-underslung.html

We have one like this we bought used. Have run it for a long time and even replaced the motor. We probably only have about $3000 total invested in it including replacing the motor. Just watch Craigslist and they pop up once in a while. It's a professional "chuck-n-duck" style chipper where...

This one has been for sale here in southern NH for a while and you can own it for a mere $25k. A very cool looking tractor but not sure it's $25k cool. According to the ad it has a V-8 conversion, Edelbrock heads, dual 2 barrel carbs, Elenco 4 wheel drive conversion with locking hubs, Sherman...

So since the law says 4 tie downs for vehicles under 10k lbs, this is technically illegal right?

Finally finished my underslung plow frame project. Plow is an 8 Fisher Speedcast I picked up on Craigslist for $300, a steal considering it also included all the truck side frame and hydraulics. The quick attach plate is a 5/16 thick version. The horizontal frame tubes are 3 inch 1/4 inch...

Why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?

I need to remove the loaded rear tires to install wheel spacers. They weigh 700-800 lbs each. Anyone here had to remove loaded tires and how did you do it while minimizing the risk of the tire falling over and not being able to stand it back up?

I have a couple chains with logging choker hooks. I've never had one fall off and they don't have latches. Instead they have a narrower slot that you slide the chain through. To unhook them you have to slide the chain back through the slot but I've never had the chain just fall out.

And be sure to wear proper safety equipment...

We bought a used tree company chipper through a Craigslist ad several years ago. Paid about $1500 for it and the 4 cylinder Ford engine sucked a quart of oil every hour of use but it worked well. A couple years ago we replaced the engine with a salvage yard one, same engine as a 1985 Ford...

I picked up one of these from Titan and now I can just put my regular quick-attach pallet forks or even a bucket on the back of the tractor. I also have a hydraulic top link which you kinda need to be able to hook things onto this adapter. Note, it didn't fit my cat-1 quick hitch so I modified...

I'm currently building mine and plan to do an underslung connection design similar to the one in the pic below that I found on TBN. This will also allow me to put stops so I can put down pressure if needed like you said.

Comes with a sticker that says 1000 lb limit but I'm sure it's over engineered to hold more. Just wondering if anyone on here has actually broken one. If so, where did it break and what were you doing when it happened?

I had to drill out the holes slightly since the HF bolts are metric but I bought 2 of these 1/2" trailer receiver pins. Paid about $6 each but they work great and it's just a pin, no extra clips.

It looks like you have a 3/8" ISO-B coupling but you need to confirm the distance from the face of the coupling to the edge of the ridge as shown in the pic of the different styles I attached. I bought mine on eBay. They're also known as ISO-7241 couplings. If you have 3/8" couplings then...

This is a hot topic but didn't find any specific threads to answer this question: Since a lot of tractors (at least in the same brand) share the same key, the key is hardly a theft deterrant. Besides storing your tractor in a locked building or under 24 hour watch by armed guards, what have...

Re: Hydraulic Oil - HELP!

The 2555 doesn't actually have traditional "glow plugs" in each cylinder, it has a grid heater (which I believe is actually a glow plug) in the intake manifold to preheat the intake air (number 13 in the 1st picture). Find the connector for the one on the intake manifold and check to see if it...

When you're planning to build a quick attach loader implement how do you decide which plate thickness to go with? They sell them anywhere from 3/16" all the way to 1/2" thick for the backing plate. Right now I'm working on an 8' truck snowplow modification using a 5/16" thick quick attach...

I've seen many many videos of how to remove and reattach a loader and most say to do it on flat, level ground. Not everyone has that available. I have a gravel driveway which is firm but I don't have a convenient place that is perfectly flat or level if I want to take the loader off. Question...
