I use the y blades with grass. It’s got three pieces and reversible : right, left and straight center. Has no problem going through first or second year saplings. The hammers are good up to 3 - 4” but not super efficient out here with scrub oak so gnarly and nasty to drive over. Hard to price...

I set up around 3” for high grass & I use the y blades for mowing. Top & tilt makes height adjustments easy on the fly.

For purposes of comparison/ discussion/ similarity, I use an L6060 with turf tires & 7’ Woodmax flail to mow both high and low grass fields - mostly in July. Outstanding set up for me and depending on obstacles I can average 3.5-4.0 mph. Takes me 3.5 hours to mow 12 acres of high grasses in one...

Thx for chiming in- appreciated. One thought I had is regarding what kind of grounding the tractor uses. As in with each use of the bucket is it possible or likely that the tractor is sending some kind of electrical current through the backhoe and accelerating this galvanic reaction? Any...

Thx for the advice. I ordered Ospho, expecting it to arrive soon. I'll use a metal brush attachment to clean them as well as I can and apply the treatment, prime and paint. I'm not optimistic I can remove the 90's from the bungs. Unfortunately the excellent welder I use is out of country right...

Thx for the input. Some other replies have noted the backhoe cylinders are outsourced. I don't know the details so I can't comment but I do know these bungs started to deteriorate from day one. I noticed it after first use in 2018 (4 years old, not five!) with a brand new L4060- paint fell apart...

That’s a great idea. Never know until we ask. Thx for suggestion- appreciated.

Apparently the galvanic reaction of mild steel (weld) to ss fitting is the culprit. Time for new…..

My BH92 backhoe is 5 years old. Since new the welds at all the cylinder fittings have been deteriorating rapidly. First the paint disintegrated. Now chunks of corrosion are falling off. Visited a buddy today who has owned a Wood backhoe since 1992. The same cylinder welds on his tractor are...

New member here though I have to admit to many hours of reading tractor posts. I知 a building contractor & practicing carpenter but with family farming & tractors in my background; Tractors in my blood, says my wife. I currently own a 2016 Kubota L4060 hstc with plans to upgrade in May to an...
