Interesting mower design, hydraulically adjustable from 6 to 12 feet while running. Made in Holland. Although the $12,500 price seems rather extreme. Perfect mower - farm & garden - by owner - sale

After snapping the tow bar off the land lever twice, I rebuilt with a lot more steel. Needed to be removable for transporting on a trailer. Land leveler is a 12 foot wide towable box scraper. A lot of stress on the bar with every turn even when empty.

I used some old skidsteer track to make a rubber pusher plate. Adding 4 wings on each side. Track was cut with a reciprocating saw with a 12 carbide blade, Outside, lots of smoke.

After only 10 hours on a new kubota ZD1211 mower, the spot welds on front cover broke. Fortunately I noticed & fixed it before running over the cover. Drilled out cover with bolts and extra brackets. Didn't hit anything, just machine vibration that caused these spot welds to fail. Based on the...

Chipping and grinding my wood pile. Half acre of logs reduced to a mountain of chips and chunks in a couple of days with a Morbark 5600 WoodHog grinder, Vermeer WC2300 chipper and a CAT 315C excavator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fllmkC6tB4A

My RC100 skidsteer died deep in the woods with hydraulic drive motor issues, could not be repaired in field. Constructed a sled with timbers & steel then used CAT excavator to drag half mile for repair. Lifted rear of machine and pushed sled underneath. Tracks don't free wheel, they are unlocked...

The stupidity of some people amaze me. Imagine the disaster of a rear end collision or broken strap with a 100 lb. propane tank becoming airborne. I should have blocked the truck and called the sheriff. Spotted at a local gas station yesterday.

In addition to inserting pictures inline, a Slide Show function for multiple pictures would be great. Currently, the user must view the picture, back to thread and view the next picture. A rotating photo viewer would be nice. Add "Create Slideshow" in lower right corner of this dialog box...

Checkout my Pond Rake thread in the attachments section: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/328140-pond-rake.html One of those threads that could go in multiple places.

Latest project was an "Extendo-Rake" built to clean up the debris & vegetation along the banks of a pond. 20 feet long, fabricated with 2x4 steel tubing. Hinged at bottom to prevent excessive downward pressure from the skidsteer arms. Weight of steel is sufficient to rake up debris without...

We just recovered from 90.5 inches (7.5 feet) of snow in just 3 days here in Buffalo NY. I burned over 200 gallons of diesel fuel in the 5 day cleanup. I used my Erskine ES2410XL blower on the ASV RC100 extensively. Lots of problems with plugged chute because of wet snow & slush underneath...

Sometimes a video is better than an picture. http://youtu.be/Y1BHHsLIBuc On my Jacobsen HR-15 mower, the brake drums had an outside edge that was interfering with some new dually wheels. Rather than pull the drums and take to a machine shop, a bench grinder worked great. A tad bit dangerous...

Red Neck Parade Float, not really but I needed to level 35 acres of sod without replanting grass seed and pickup rocks. The area has lots of ruts that were bouncing the mowing guys out of their seats. The tractor is a Ford 7700, maybe 100hp with a 1000 RPM PTO. Floatation tires for maximum...

Unusually wet year for the northeast. Second time I sank this year. I always get the door off the machine ASAP. When the machine continues to sink, the arms will raise blocking the door from opening. This was a cable & block job to drag machine out of mud with another tractor, operator & half...

I recently purchased an 85" wide mower for my RC100. The mower is very heavy. When turning or bumping trees, I noticed the arms were being stressed to swing sideways. The arm bushings are not made for sideways deflection, failure of the bushings or cracking of the arms is almost certain. I...

My best wildlife video ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp2FGDyd49Y Two bucks with locked racks behind the house. They didn't notice me taping from only 50 feet away. Ran off into the woods and got unlocked.

I added a quick disconnect plate on the back of my box scraper. My intentions are for grading & leveling with the skidsteer and pushing mulch into piles with the tractor. Still has the 3 point links for normal usage.The QD plate needed to be mounted high allowing the rear scraper door to hinge...

Snapped a quick picture when driving by this. Count the safety mistakes here: Winch cable unhooked Truck wheels not blocked Operator under vehicle Truck on ice, downhill slope Potential: Truck slides down hill on ice, dropping vehicle on operator Actual: No injuries, just dumb luck & stupid

How many times do we really get under & inside equipment to check every nut & bolt every time we use something? In this case, sometimes never. This is my Bush Hog TD1500 bat wing mower when the center transfer case let loose today. Made a heck of a gut wrenching noise. Initial look has dirt in...

I built a tree stand for an upside down pine tree root ball. Pine tree's have a small, compact & shallow root system. After digging the tree out, I pressure washed the dirt off. The stand is 1/4" steel with a 12" pipe and gussets welded to it. Sort of an environmental modern art. Although...

Well, really not smoke, but a burning smell from the RC100 overhead console. The connector for the front flood lights was touching a bulb and causing burning, melting. The bulbs are 25w, which should be cooler than the 35w specified in the ASV parts manual. Don't know if it would have ignited...

Caption contest (no prize tho..)

No one was hurt, no physical damage, just a severely bruised ego. My buddy rolled his tractor over backwards on a hill. He's driven this hill a thousand times, but it only takes one accident. He said the tractor just lifted and rolled to the right without warning in a split second. A tree caught...

I'm looking to rent an RC100 & mulcher in the Chicago Ill area. It's too far to transport my equipment from Buffalo NY. Estimate 1-2 week rental. Please PM with any leads.

For the RC100 owners, keep a close eye on the curl cylinder end bushings. I noticed a hairline crack while mulching, 3 minute trip back to the shop and the bushing split. Fortunately the mulcher was not up in the air when the bushing cracked open. The $460 replacement cylinder from ASV is a...

My Carbide Cutter has an adjustable cutter blade behind the rotor. According to the manual, it should have been shipped with an 1/8" gap between the carbides & the blade. It currently has a 1/4" gap. Does anyone have any experience on performance with more or less gap on Carbide Cutters? The...

The Science Channel has a show called "How It's Made", Episode 24 is from the ASV factory detailing a machine assembly. Set your VCR, next showing is tomorrow morning (3/15) at 4:30am EST. They assemble a lot easier than being disassembled.

As a New York State resident, I recently applied for the ROPS Rebate program. They reimburse you 70% of the cost for an approved tractor ROPS with seat belt. I installed the ROPS on a Ford 2000 and got the reimbursement check in 4 weeks. The program has limited funding, apply soon if interested...
