20 ish years ago i bought a Husky 353 as my first saw. Ive burnt wood every year, helped build a remote cabin, cleared a few acrws to build my house, sold some firewood, and have cleared trails for snowmobile/nordic ski cubs more than i care to remember. This saw has never let me down, has...

Its always nice seeing other installs! I built my 28x32 (12' ceiling) shop a few years ago. 5" thick slab. 2" of EPS foam under it. I used an electric boiler to heat glycol. I also have a wood stove. I have a water jacket on top of the wood stove as well, it'll preheat the water a little bit...

My M7060 is about the same size as your NH. I pull a 7000# dump trailer on the highway. Near griss weigh. 5-7 mile trips. A few slight hills. I changed out the 7 pin on the tractor to the RV style to match my trailer. Tractors generally don't have brake lights. So there's no wiring or...

Mine came narrowest setting. I bought it sight unseen and didn't think about the wheel settings. It seemed tippy. Widning it out made it a completely different machine, night and day, no kidding.

I had the same issue with the stone bits wearing out, what's seemed like faster than they should. Problem they would get smaller diameter, making the tooth 'wrong'. I'm surprised those diamond cutters wear out that fast, I wanted to try something else here...... I go through many chains on a...

I have a 7060....here is a thread with some pics of the rims on my machine. With cast centers. This is a few years ago but we took them apart to reconfigure. There had been mention of the tabs only being able to be used one way which was debunked...

Its common to drill a hole in crankcase vent tubes/hose on airplane engines to provide an alternate means of venting in case the end of the tube ices over from condensation. Many people have blown out dipsticks or prop seals as the pressure finds the weak spot!

Our snowmobile club had a bunch, exactly as someone else mentioned.... we drilled holes to set stakes and sons in the ice on lake trails. They worked well. The last 2-3 years we've moved to 20v battery drills.

After looking for a decent used tank/handle unit, it was easier and hardly more $ to order a new OEM unit from my trusted local shop. Shipping charges and US/CDN exchange to our little remote area in canada make things like that pretry pricy. She found me a used top cover too, which was $70...

Yes you did, thanks, the shipping makes it almost the same price as a new unit, so I'll get a new tank/handle. The new oem comes mostly complete too. I did get some small bits and pieces used from chainsawr, so thanks for mentioning them!

Thanks John,I've checked those out, and my part number is different, I'm not sure it entirely matters, but I don't have a primer. I'll see what the shipping is, that's usually the killer for us up here above the 49th.

Well I cleaned the saw all up, checked the Mg case out for damage around the cylinder base and itnallmlooked good, so I reassembled it best as ot could be and fired it up, it purred like a kitten. Compression test showed 150psi. The OEM tank/rear handle assy. is about $200 compared to 80...

Thanks for the links. I love this saw, while I don't have a lot of experience with many others, what few in this size I've used have never rubbed me the right way. Once I have some time and the holiday rush is over I'll have some time to put into the fix up!

I sharpen many chains at a time (18"), I just clamp a bar in the vice with a chain on it,and use a bungee cord to pull the slack tight, hook end to a screw in the bench leg. All my chains are at a very different stage of wear, so adjusting the grinder over and over took way longer than just...

Well, my beloved 353 got hit by a tree that jumped the stump on me. (Big ole balsam as our Xmas tree of all things) It got smacked pretty good, I feel like I ran the family dog over. It was such a great saw. There appears to be lots of Chinese parts available, I'm just leary of the quality...

I have some flat faced couplers on my loader/tractor. (Kubota M 7060) This is a ALO/Quicke loader. They used 'Faster' females on the loader hoses, and CEJN males on the valve body. It's the way it came from new. I have a leak when the machine sits, couplers are together. When it's running I...

How much farther out will the attachment be with this kind of adapter? I worried about a blade,with the added 'arm' could be more prone to bending stuff if you hit something with it. I looked into a whole new tool carrier for my loader frame.... about $1000.....

I had to disconnect this switch on my 7060, turning around in the seat to watch the snowblower was enough to set it off. I had to disconnect the plug, then jumper the wires together.

I love watching those guys! They certinaly know how to get stuff moved with what they have! Some of those older machines are built a lot tougher and simpler than anything today.

I actually solved a lot of issues by adding some quick disconnects on the hyd lines from the lift cylinder. Then rather than tow with the truck which for me is really too small, (Tacoma) I use the tractor and use made up hyd lines to a rear remote. No more battery problems! Annnd, being a...

A few years ago I had issues with keeping my dump trailer battery charged , lots of short trips, truck was not keeping it charged. I ran 4ga wire (marine cable) from truck battery, through an 80a fuse, through a solenoid (activated by switch in cab), Anderson plugs…. In trailer a 40a Circuit...

I remember something about using 2 pieces of plywood on top of another under the tire…. Helped to slide the tire/rim on and off the studs. A wee pump on the bottle jack to get the height just right. Tricky part going back on was having the tire in the right ‘rotation’ position.

On these M7060/ similar tractors, have someone operate the shifter and get down and watch the linkage move. You’re operating a mechanical lock. It’s got to be adjusted just right to work, it’s a bunch of linkages, a pin and A doohickey on a shaft. There are some parts that’ll wear and seize...

5030, when you can, post the part numbers please! I’ve broken one of mine…. I wasn’t expecting to find a new one!

I fixed spots on my m7060’s rear window. I had a hard time seeing the ‘break’, and used a multi meter to find the breaks (I had many from a stupid mistake) marked with a sharpie. One issue I had the first try was when I unpeeled the tape after the stuff was dry, it took all the new copper...

These Wallenstien chippers use tractor hydraulics…. I assumed it was to turn the infeed but am not positive. https://www.wallensteinequipment.com/ca/en/model/bx52r

I have a Sthil 140c. It has a 12” bar and a Picco chain. It’s great for limbing small trees or keeping handy while running the tractor for limbs and chopping up small stuff that’s in the way. I’m very happy with it knowing it’s size and limitations. Where this one shines is trail...

Ok thanks :). Ya I know all about water freezing to drags….nothing like the sinking feeling of 2’ of slush on the lake hoping the rig will crawl through, then beating the frozen snow/ice off it for the next 10 miles…..

Why put the plastic on the pan like that? I’d think the aluminum pan would slide just as easy? I suppose the plastic would help with damage from rocks etc

We easily lifted 28’ span 4:12 trusses by hand with 3 people. 28x32, 12’ ceiling pole building, metal sided inside and out….12x11’ door…. No hired labour, in cdn $ you’d likely have a bile taste what it's costed so far…..

How’s your temp gauge working? I’m wondering if the temp sensor is not working properly, would it cause the system to not call for glo heat? Looks like the light is connected closely to the water temp sensor. Could be rodent damage to wires causing intermittent issues?

Arly, have you ever tried, or thought about a flail mower….. wonder if it would work like a tiller? Help break up the hard snow.

Is it the Rops rattling?! Or something in a tool box?! Sorry for not being helpful :). Nice grapple by the way! (And dog!)

They don’t connect as easily as you think. when there’s some pressure built up in the system (from sun/sitting and temp change) the pressure can’t be ‘relieved’ nearly as easy by whacking the tip!! These still leak. I can’t tell from where but haven’t put much effort into it. it’s not from...

Really? Do you happen to know where ‘the line’ is? Hwy 7, the divide to the north?! Lol. Sorry :)

R40kh, does the 7040 have a marked spot for N on the hi-lo selector or are u just bumping it between? The 7060 just has a rabbit and turtle on the handle. Thx!

I have a 7060, and run our Canadian premium UDT. When it’s cold, everything in neutral I’ll also sometimes feel an ever so slight bump/jerk, not enough for the machine to move but you can feel it in the seat. If it’s in gear, shuttle in neutral sometimes the digital speedo will flicker ever so...

Romoni, I think I got the screen out of mine without taking anything off, I was able to reach it, awkwardly.

From the WSM.

Here’s a link to the shop manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1093091/Wsm-M7060.html I downloaded this one, I’d email it to you but at 71mb, I’m not sure I can.

These boots are very warm. I was leary about them and the cost (about $300). I wear them snowmobiling at -25°c, standing while running firewood processor and my feet which are prone to get cold, stay warm. No liners to fuss with. For the -30 and colder days I use bama booties/socks overtop my...

I knew this cylinder was a bit weenie, light duty work, oops, lol.

Piece of 3” pipe. Works for shovels and rakes too I don’t normally drive straight downhill, but when I do, the pickaroon don’t fall out in case you’re wondering!

Rob, the ambers you linked mention needing a resistor if being used as flashers, have you tried those yet?

As stated, the WM chippers have shear bolts on the pto shaft. My snowblower has several shear bolts, no slip clutch. I’d think if anything, the snowblower ought to have a slip clutch. I change 1/2 a dozen or so shear bolts a season. But maybe it’s best having it ‘work’ till it don’t….. I...

Id kinda like to see a set up for an M sized machine! The giant ones for a wheel loader come to mind that airports and cities use! :). Would be fun! However, here would be an option I suppose https://frontlinkinc.com/frontlinks/m6060-m7060-standard-version-it4a/

Our snowmobile trail groomers have mirrors like you mention, almost like a school bus…… it’s a knack to get precise using it. I find with the rear blower one is driving ahead almost as much as backward to reposition for the next ‘blow’, it’s not like you’re looking back the whole time. Front...

Rob, something I didn’t see mentioned here yet unless I missed it….. your toplink length will adjust your cutting edge ‘height’. I have an 8’ blower on a m7060. On gravel or a bumpy area I’d shorten the top link to make the cutting edge higher up off the ground by a few inches. I leave my...

Interesting Stomper, thanks for sharing your experience. We are in the same boat here, usually not big snows and quite rough trails. Usually dragging an old chain link fence gate at the beginning for the first few snows seems to help make a base. Like you our snow is almost always light and...

This sounds like a perfect DIY project. Old bed sheets. Get out the thread injector and cardboard aided design and go to work if you want it fancy!

How much does your rear pan and comb help? If you’re just gonna roll out some fresh snow and groom right away anyways, would it be worth the effort and expense? Perhaps just a piece of chain link fence behind the roller to move the snow a bit more? ive got to build one up here for the...

Nice build Juice!! Thanks for sharing! Drew, I’m getting ready to pour a slab inside my pole building as well and had some of the same bought you’ve had. Sorry not a great pic but you can see I ‘boxed’ (3sided) around the bottom of the posts with pwf. The top of the lumber will be top of the...

Smokey, did you have a thread somewhere else about your gauge? I remember someone doing something to measure the weight they were lifting. I dunno how much difference would be between any of these accumulators, but my loader only has one bottle. (~2500#capacity) Jon, I had a hard time...

These guys have some British thread fittings I had them on my Quicke (ALO) loader. https://ohcanadasupply.ca/

I also ‘feather’ the Rotary on-off PTO switch in my m7060, and at idle usually, just others have mentioned doing. With a frozen snowblower, it’s easier to see that it’s not gonna spin! OP, Hope your neighbour sorts it out. (I had to disable the seat buzzer switch as hitting bumps or turning...

So much good info here and great advice, my experience is pale incomparison…. I tow this dump trailer down the highway…. 6x10, with a cord of wood in it. I like all 70hp to keep it going max speed on the road for the hills. I’ve wanted to add an electric brake controller and use it manually...

Check the simple things first!……..So not too long ago my tractor would quit running after a random amount of time. Start back up, run for another random amount of time then quit. After changing filters, fuel lines, cleaning the water separator, I decided to take the fuel tank off and clean/rinse...

First snows of the year (in this area) are usually wet and packy, with unfrozen ground….. I’m yearning for -20. Keep a shovel with long handle onboard!

We have 20-40cm of snow coming. Grounds not frozen but I’m sure some die hards will want some grooming done. nice work Arly!

One question I’d be asking is if an alternator charges at the correct voltage for the deep cycle (or an AGM type if you went that route). I think the alternator puts out a voltage slightly lower than the deep cycle wants to ‘fully charge’ and does not have the smarts to properly cut off when...

I’m speaking about T6….. it used to have an API SM (or SN) rating. That’s for gas engines. It no longer does. If you search the interwebs you’ll find out that the rating was removed cause it does not meet a specification (nor ever did) for some obscure PPM of an additive, but if you pay...

The 404 chain is ‘thicker’. It will take a lot more power to cut. It’s used on some large cc saws and mechanical harvester machines. You won’t find a 404 bar under 20” likely and they’ll be a lot more expensive. 325 pitch is available at every saw shop and is relatively cheap. You processor is...

This is where the lock lever is for my Quicke Loader. Hard to bump but easy to forget it’s there.

I’d like to add some thoughts…. I have a firewood processor and do 50-150 cords (full cords) per year with it. Google Blacks Creek 1500, you’ll see the basic machine. The bar is belt powered from a 13hp Honda also driving the hydraulic pump for the splitting ram and log lift and infeed conveyor...

I’ve locked the lever on my loader by accident a few times unknowingly. How I have no idea. A brief moment of panic follows the first time you try to move it. Usually when it’s absolutely required to move it to not hot something!

Thanks for that info DieselBound. I too noticed the change in packaging and looked into the difference in the ‘new’ T6, (my TDI is deleted so no worry about the oil on emmissions stuff). They also dropped a gasoline engine rating (API SN?) my memory is fuzzy about what it ‘was’ rated for but...

‘K’ is the next higher rating. As the alphabet letters goes up, so does the newest rating. Im led to believe they are backward compatible for the most part. There may some very early ratings that are not. Also from what Ive read is the ratings keep changing to keep up with emmissions standards...

I run T6 5w40 in my M7060. Manual calls for 10w30 (with ratings for the dpf) The temp chart does not go low enough for my climate. T6 meets the dpf spec and is better for my temps here. I also run it in my newer VW TDI (dpf deleted) all my small 4cyckw engines, it also has the MA rating (if my...

I looked into a backhoe for my m7060 which would be comparable in size to the OP’s desired Kioti size… for me it was cost prohibitive by the time you add a subframe and the extra plumbing. 1/2 the jobs I’d want to do it would be too big, the other 1/2 too small. For the occasional use it’s...

M7060. @500hrs, first change as per the manual. (I bought it used) Filters inside were fine, a bit of rubber gasket goo stuff. I rechecked them after 50 hours and found very little so likely leftover manufacturing bits, so the dealer says.

I’m a princess auto shopper too, but if you find they don’t have something, these guys also have a pretty good selection in Canada. https://ohcanadasupply.ca/ I was able to get British Pipe thread adapters from them, among a bunch of other stuff I didn’t know I needed!

Nice drag Arly, it’s almost that time of year eh! While snowmobile trails are fun to groom, ski trails sure are challenging to get nicey nice. But, I like the heated cab of a Pisten Bulley on a -30 night over the frosted up windshield on a skandic :)

Finally had a chance to give the tailwheel a try. I set it up on the rake and moved a bunch of sawdust/bark junk across the yard. As I went in and out of the depressions and over bumps the rake stayed more ‘level’ and worked great, moving only the material I wanted. Took some fiddling to get...

I put a shut off valve on one of the grapple hoses, was more to leave the grapple ‘open’ when not in use (bad practice I know) and not have the weight of the grapple putting pressure on the oil in the line to cause connection problems.. but it helps for the heat buildup pressure issues too. One...

Got it almost all set up. Interchangeable from rake to blade. Wheel height could also be shimmed higher or lower if need be. One wheel will allow the rake to be angled for crowning road. (Have to make a hyd side link now!) Hopefully local store has some adapters so I can use existing hoses and...

Around here, people mount the chain (broke into a length) around exterior window frames. keeps the riff-raff out. (Black bears that is!) I just got 8 chains from the garbage at work that were apparently ‘rocked’, but a bit of work with the file and hit the depth gauges and they’ll be good...

I know ya’s get some rain over that way, but why put a tarp over the engine? I found tarps act like plastic cling wrap…. keep the sun off maybe? But seems to be a great way to trap the humidity and heat in, maybe helping to speed up your water/algae problems? I cringe every time I see a...

Old piece of train track, skidder tire chain cut in 1/2 and a piece of tubing of some sort….

Hopefully they can solve your issue in short order, it would be interesting to know what your issue is, for those of us with this Tractor!

^ thanks, yes I’ve noticed the majority of rakes have 2 gauge wheels. I’m making this to be interchangeable from my rake to my 8’ blade. Got started with some scrap…. The vertical angle iron was already there, but may be in just about the right spot to mount one end of the cylinder…. If I...

I’m about to build a tailwheel for my 3pt hitch rear blade. I’ve seen a few ways of doing it and have settled on a piece of 3” tube about 42” long with an old rotary cutter tailwheel. I should be able to swing the blade around with the wheel raised up. I also plan to make the same mount on my...

I had a 1/2 shaft built (old 1” square style) and it was not cheap by the tine you get a yoke, U joint, etc…. That being said, an entire shaft was not cheap either (not in Canada anyways) My overlap is no where near the 2/3 as mentioned above, right or wrong, it still works, and, having added...

I used a big clean tote like mentioned above when I did filters on my M. Driving up on some blocks or doing it outside on a slope could also help? Shouldn’t be a need to loose/waste much oil.

Check the Hyd pump flows, or power steering flows… one machine may be more/less than the other? The 8 speed vs 12 speed transmission may change that also…..

^ exactly. I have this same clutch. IF it is indeed slipping, you’ll have to tighten that big nut. May be a set screw in it as well. The ‘torque flange’ is the ‘go between’ from the clutch to the drive shaft. The shiny short part of the shaft just center’s the ‘torque flange. The clutch is...

Thanks for the insight on the deck connectors. My bad, they are called ‘carport saddle’, and appear to be a ‘canadian’ thing. We actually looked for the larger brackets like shown earlier in the thread and no hardware stores around here had ever seen them. If it blows hard enough to fail...

A bit off the way you’re looking at doing it….. I did my 28x32 with 2x6 laminated posts. Dug holes and set ‘big foot’s’, then sonatubes. In the concrete we set a bracket similar to that sturdiwall bracket, although they were meant for deck posts (1 piece rebar about 8” long and the brackets...

Right or wrong, I’ve used this stuff in my firewood processor. I’ve had a few hoses off multiples of times to fix/tinker with other issues. All NPT fittings. I put a tiny dab of this or one like it on. Some are still dirty. Sometimes I can’t wait for it to dry to get back to work. I never...

I would suspect they do, the ones for my M series had new magnets in the hydraulic filters.

Cat2 is wider like you say, also pin sizes different so you’ll need bushings for the side links and the top link. I had to modify a PTO shaft on an old mower but I’d think you’ll have to try it to know. Check the overlap and length in both down and raised to make sure it does not bind!

Ya I think you’re right. I took it apart today to see about a leaky seal, and it’s likely a $20-50 part/labour at the machine shop. A new cylinder that needs no fab work is $250.(Chinese supply store). But taking the rod out, whoa, rust!!! This thing was full of crap, even though I cycled it...

LD, it’s a 2” rod and I’m guessing a 4 1/2” or 5” bore. 9-10” stroke. The original mount was 6” from the center of the kingpin, I’ll extend it out and it’ll now be 15” out. That in itself should reduce load on the cylinder greatly. This one is overkill in size but the price couldn’t be better...

Found an old cylinder that is a bit long, will require a mod to the kingpin arm, but should be beefy enough, haha.

For your bed rail weight limits, looks like you’re using the internal rail and it’s also supported by the top of the box side? I see guys with ‘Sled decks’ that carry 2 skidoo’s, they slide in and out somehow, maybe look into how those are built. But if it’s supported by the bed sides I’d think...

That’s a heck of a cover! I made a homemade tonneau out of plywood, in 2 pieces hinged in the middle. A barrel bolt near the tailgate to ‘lock’ it. This takes the cake to support a pallet! Maybe get some decals made up (like those ‘bullet hole’ decals) that look like fork holes for the side...

Thanks LD for the explanation, it makes sense. But I see some outfits selling these valves as protection which made me wonder. with the 1 1/2” rod sized cylinder I’ll be ordering soon, (same as oem) there musnt be many issues or we’d see others complaining!

Thanks LD1 for the lesson! That’s great knowledge and is excellent to know how the sizing strength works. I actually measured the rod and it’s 1 1/8”. It was just an old cylinder I had on a snowblower and was just to try, I learned the hard way about what’s strong enough! I’ve found a 3 1/2”...

i started another thread in Hydraulics, to hopefully get a few more responses as this is not a ‘Kubota’ topic! Thread 'Rear blade angle cylinder protection' Rear blade angle cylinder protection

I posted a thread recently (thought it was here in hydraulics but wasn’t, didn’t know how to move the thread) Thread 'Rear blade angle cylinder bent rod' Rear blade angle cylinder bent rod I have a rear 3pt hitch blade. I put a cylinder on to control the angle. The blade is a 8’ Farm King. It...

I kinda thought the same Rusty..... then I overcomplicated my thoughts by wondering... if the cylinder is being forced closed, there’d be X oil from the base end going into the rod end. But for it to move say 3” after fetching a big stone, the 3” worth of fluid leaving the base end would put...

Thanks for the advice so far It’s a Farm King blade, 8’. It has a manual adjustment consisting of a bar with holes for pins, you simply choose another hole to adjust the angle. Chim, the mounts are very close to the king pin. Likely 4-5” at most. I thought about this but had it backward in my...

So I saw the cylinder on my snowblower chute rotator not being used and thought, why not put it on my 8’ rear blade to have hydraulic angle! It’s a 3” bore cylinder, 1 1/4” rod. (8” stroke). it worked great until I had it angled (cylinder extended) and caught the inward angled edge. Rod...

It took 2 of us and another loader to swap tires around (remove and remount cast rim center disks) on m7060. Unloaded tires. I’m sure one guy could do it very carefully but 2 was gooder.

I here ya. But, just cause it can take an 8” log don’t mean you have to cram one in there. But if you did, with the speed control you just slow it down :). The big opening is great for crooked pieces and small trees with limbs, no need to trim them off!

I wonder how much heat is generated in a KM long spool of wire with that much juice flowing through it? Wouldn’t it become a huge electromagnet? Forget the cord, go microwave :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_power_transfer

Did you consider the 88? Maybe not as poplar so less lead time, a few hundred more though. I should sell mine as I’m not using it near as much as I thought, but when I do, it is fun :)

For those with hydraulic top links..... I see hooking up an implement could be a pain at times.... wrestling with a heavy cylinder, and if it’s not the ‘right length’ you can’t just screw it in/out, it’s a trip back around (into the cab to wiggle a lever) to adjust the length, hopefully just...

As we were just operating on floats, we didn’t use the dilution much, just early/late season and only because r was installed. Was on a Norseman (R-1340).

Sorry way off topic, but we had an oil dilution system on an older aircraft..... it added gas to the oil to thin it out for the next cold morning start. A good warm up on the next start up would burn the fuel off. It was just a spring loaded switch..... ‘about 30 seconds ‘ought to be...

Now here’s some..... good?... diesel noise :)

I wish I had some better advice to offer but these types of issues have came up on various forums, and it seems the advice is usually follow the WSM steps for adjusting the maze of rods and linkages that make up the draft sensing/control. I believe the 3pt is the first point in the hydraulic...

Oh, and I have one of those little Sthil battery saws and love it dearly, except for sharpening that micro chain. It’s a 1/4” Picco if I remember right, and takes a file about the size of a toothpick. I’m about ready to buy the rivet tool and a roll of chain for it and forget sharpening them....

I tried a dremel stone for a bit..... I found the stones would wear out, becoming smaller in diameter and if you don’t notice, you won’t get the right angles, just like using too small of a file. Mind you I was sharpening 4-5 chains at a time, 20 a week when into lots of firewood. (Easier for...

If you can ‘parle en francais’, the Quebecois boys run those tires lots on their driveway cleaning rigs so they must be good. They’d be the ones to get a good opinion from! Lots of used machines for sale in Quebec with them installed as they flip and update tractors. For the 7060, the set of...

The ‘Chinglish’ and not knowing if the pictures are of the actual unit will make it hard to figure out till it’s at your doorstep! Sometimes you get what you pay for. looks like they are both power up and power down. I have power up-down in my dump trailer. I just recently priced a new...

I’ve priced those tires for my machine (7060). I wish I could afford them. I’m considering screw in studs, pros and cons with those however.... I believe Michelin has a snow tire similar to the Nokian

When I bought my used M7060 it did not have a loader installed. The selling dealer (not a Kubota dealer) installed a Quicke X2 loader. I believe the cost (in talking to the salesman) was around $8000 (cdn). I added a 3rd function and a soft ride (an extra $1500 I think) They included the...

Our snowmobile club rented an ASV tracked skid steer with a brusher to do some work on some trails that are growing in. The road bed on this section is generally raised several feet. All the problem brush is down over the sides. Most was 3-4? up to 6 or so trees. It痴 been a while, if ever...

I also have a Quicke brand loader (x2) on my m7060. I was lead to believe the attachment was called a Euro/global or ALO style. Mine resembles the bottom pic as shown above. The holes in the lower mount on mine are about 1” holes, and the pins on the tool carrier are something near 3/4...

Here’s the ground speed chart linked from another thread https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/401235-m7060-ground-speed.html

So I borrowed the rake and it seems to work ok for cleaning up my messes. A bit more sand stayed caught up in the debris than I was hoping but could be my technique. It did do wonders on my gravel driveway however! Pulled all the loose material off the edges without scraping lots of material...

In my wood processing yard I end up with a mess of bark (birch bark) and lots of bits and pieces from splitting wood. I do pick up the bigger pieces for kindling. However, the sawdust piles and bark all over need to be cleaned up. Back dragging the bucket works just fine mostly, however lots...

i have 'Soft Ride' on my Quicke (ALO) loader. i had to wait for it so got to use the machine for almost a year without it. Now having it, it is a nice feature. I road a lot into town. Even with the empty bucket/forks it helps with bounce. Doing precise work is not easy with it 'on' as the...

well had the ole mower out, ran fine for about 4 hours then finally found a bush/stump that was a bit much. Broke the U joint/clutch yoke. The initial break was quite dramatic, pieces flinging! safety shield got beat up, then the shaft fell down and just turned around harmlessly till i got...

So I cut the filters open and nothing was obvious bad looking. just a few very small flakes of brass as expected, some obvious dirt like you'd expect, some rubber gasket material. As for not changing them sooner, I bought the machine used with 270 hrs on it. Asked the selling dealer to get it...

The M7060 calls for hydraulic filters to be changed at 500h. First time they are changed. Then to re use the oil, change at 1000. Using Premium UDT (canadian sudt) so apparently the japanese know best. However it was slightly alarming to see this much metal on the magnets! i let the oil...

i wish i had a before picture but this newly gravelled area was not level by any means, and was overgrown and full of big rocks. but with a bit of loader work along with the rear blade and 25 yards of material (some A gravel before the blue crushed) it's not bad for a rookie, i didn't think. I...

i have no experience with these or going back and forth, as this is my first set up. but this old junker is a cat 1 set up. I have to adjust the top link to mow, then again to transport, to get it high enough on the road. A hyd top link would be handy. When lowered for mowing, the pto shaft...

freezerburn, nice idea! thanks for sharing. It seems not too many aftermarket options for things like this, most searches point to a 3ot hitch trailer mover. I've posted this elsewhere, but i will again for the searchers... just slides over the drawbar to use 2" receiver accessories.

yikes!!!!

I'd have to agree. At least with the ones i get, a 1/3 of a cord would be generous. if it's loose and not stacked, 1/4 at best. shooterdon, I'd like to see a pic of your bin! on another site a fellow cuts the plastic in 1/2 on a diagonal, gets 2 roofs per tank! I somehow found 10 cord of...

I have a woodland Mills 88. i have lots of HP but, i'd say get the biggest one for your HP. It's not all about the size of a log you can chip, it's also the size of the opening into the chipping flywheel, which the bigger, the better, as you won't have to trim as many limbs off, worry about...

i had this made up to slide over the drawbar to use 2" accessories I tow a 7500# dump trailer. It's within the specs for the tractor-drawbar.

I believe this is a slip clutch on this old mower. (brand unknown) There are 4 bolts that fasten the PTO shaft to the clutch. I think I see how to adjust the slippage of the clutch but this thing is seized together from years of no use. I'm thinking I may just use 2- 1/4" bolts on that coupler...

Hi Tex et el sorry to drag up an old thread but it was one i found while searching on how to widen my tires and i want to share what I learned. I have cast centers. I was seeking to have the width Herky has.... it would have appeared from your pic that i couldn't get that due to that raised...

so finally got around and got some help... My tires were at the narrowest setting. Once taking the disks off the rims, you can see both sides of the tabs on the rims have this raised spot so it don't matter what side goes against the disk meaning the cast wheel set up has 4 different width...

ya but.... maybe we get carried away by the mosquitos and black fly's and deer (moose) flys, but we lack scorpions, deadly snakes and spiders! Get a blue solo cup. gotta be blue. cover it in something sticky, you're making a homemade fly trap. black fly's and the deer fly's go for the highest...

The lady across the road has some ole Nags that needed cleaning up after... hauled it 3 miles to some folks to have steaming compost for gardens.

found some rocks in a buddy's pit and finally got this 'round to it' job done. added a 3rd fork blade/tine and with the grapple it made moving rocks big and small relatively easy!

sorry to Hijack..... here's a weird pallet fork use.... I pick up 8' logs, they fall though and tip off the side often.... trying to pick them up off a big pile or a loose twisted up pile... I saw someone else on here had a 3rd blade on, so i borrowed one to try before buying one. spaced just...

GG, we do use skis, and even better on snow, floats (pontoons)! usually it's too cold to bother with a lot, once it's warm enough in the spring, the ice is flattened out and good enough for wheels

Wanted to check out our RC airplane club, as i though spring was in the air. Had to plow the road to get in!

^ Peter, here's the HLA set-up. The only thing that would make it work better for logs, and i saw a picture on here but can't find it or remember who posted it, was adding a 3rd fork blade. I measured and having the blades set to grab a pallet and the 3rd far out on one side would work, and...

Arly, too bad about the politics. We have the same issues here in a small volunteer group. Our machine had the oil pan tore off.... the stump pan was missing and i guess someone decided to go where no man has gone before? anyhoo it must have ran without oil for a wee bit too long cause she's...

hi Michigan your expedition will tow a drag fine. make sure your air rad fan is working cause the fan will run a lot! we've had them freeze up or pop the fuse from branches/twig pieces jamming it up. i'd try a pallet first, or an old bed spring. we use a piece of chain link fence gate early in...

hope you guys are still able to get out Arly we are in the midst of winter here, finally enough ice on the lakes to make some longer runs. this here is 15 miles across the ice. just like on ice road truckers TV show, you can hear the ice cracking as you drive along! Good thing for the satellite...

Hi Arly. Your description of the drag is bang on. Here’s a pic of one of ours. It’s a Sur-Trac from Ebert Welding. The front of the drag (cutters) and the pan adjust independently. Also have a brush cutter bar. It’s a lot of watching the drag with 2 adjustments but you can cut heavy when...

Nice Arly! Good to see ya getting lots of grooming in. We致e been out in our Prinoth Husky. I think I like it more the the Trail Bulley we had last season. Running a packer first..... Then we have lakes to cross to get anywhere and today still only 10 inches in a bad spot so we wait. The...

Moved snow so I could move wood. Then make campfire wood! Summer is coming! .

These are 360/70R20 fronts with 16.9x30 rears.

So trying to blow snow, turning around in the seat to watch the 3pt hitch blower, the alarm goes off. Guess I値l have a few extra Xmas treats this year!! I have an air ride seat. Now to find the sensor and tape it down I suppose. Or add a 壮witch to disable it for select operations. It does...

So it痴 been discussed often of using pallet forks for moving logs. It can be tricky depending on your situation and what your moving exactly and where! I move 8 logs, mostly smaller diameter. I end up having to move it from the big pile the delivery truck leaves me to my log feed table. I...

I have a 6x10 dump trailer with side boards. 7000# gross. It holds just shy of 200 cubic feet of loose wood, off the conveyor. When the wood is 16 long and split to a reasonable size, it stacks up to a full cord. Varying the length or split size will change that, however it痴 not a lot so it痴...

Works for blackflys and deer fly’s!!! No joking!!!! ANy sticky stuff will work but tanglefoot seems to be the stickiest

I’ve been reading here a while, time to say thanks for all the good advice and experience that you all post,, good and bad!! New to me tractor, M7060. Using it to help with my small firewood business. I’ll put up a few more pics of the set up as I think to take a few. Pallet forks with a...
