Some pics of land rake with wheels on. Now I am on the hunt for a 48 inch tiller.

Changed my hydraulic fluids today and also put the new skid plate on and when I got home from my property the Titan wheel kit for my land rake was here waiting fo me so now I need to drive back to my property and put them on, one more thing to cross off my list.

I am going to change my hydrolic fluids then instal the new skid plate, weathers been bad here and I need to do it out side, also got the first layer of class 5 down for my new shop build, went from this. To this, all work done wit the GC1705. Now.

I received my skid plate today and I must say it is a well made 3 piece add on, can稚 wait to get out to the property and install it, no more worries about tearing the fan or filter up.

Howdy folks, my 1705 hit 52 hours while I was spreading out 12 yards of class five for my shop project and now I need to change oils, I知 not taking it back to the dealer for the 50 hour first service I figured I would do filters and oil then go through all the nuts and bolts, it has been...

Being I don稚 have a shop to work in during the winter and I don稚 use the GC1705 for snow removal so it gets parked for the winter but now it痴 spring and time to get back to using the GC for projects around the 12 acres.

Anycubic I3 Mega which is now the Anycubic Mega-S, they upgraded the I3 Mega to Mega-S.

Made this clip on my 3D printer to hold down the PTO lever on my GC1705. Got the program from another member here that made one.

Definitely not the drive over deck. I mow just about 6 acres and I like the 60 deck, was doing it with my Zero Turn and 54 deck until I bought my GC1705 last summer. Drive over deck.

Their new price is 1036.00 with free shipping and here are some specs.

I still need to do adjustments but I installed the thumb on my trencher today.

Found this add for Titan.

Last night was cold, at 9am this morning it was only -12* and now it痴 3* with real feel at -16* and we are supposed to get a light dusting of snow this evening. I am surprised at how well my Husqvarna tractor and snowblower handles the heavy wet/slushy snow. My son moving heavy wet snow last...

My Thumb showed up today so now I have a reason to heat the shop up for a bit. This is the Titan bolt on grapple I have been looking at for around a grand, I have seen it a bit cheaper then listed here and then I still need to and on 3rd function for 7-800.00 bucks. If I had a SSQH on...

Have to go to each site, here is a common loader that fits a lot of scuts, cuts even the L3400hst. This was just a quick look up.

We have the snow but with the mild temps it is created more of a mess then anything else, can not even drive on the lakes because of the snow then slush and then water and ice, the weigh of the snow has pushed the water up and it is like a big slush, even snowmobiles are staying off the lakes...

Might want to also look at the 48 inch King Kutter, also a nice tiller, they make two styles but this one is listed for sub compact tractors.

I looked at a add on grapple for just the bucket but the sides of the standard bucket are tall not like the clam bucket where the sides are cut down for more room for longer limbs and branches, after I get the tiller I will re evaluate the grapple, maybe just the bucket add on grapple would be...

This is what I would use next to a bank down to road to get a ditch in.

Even tho it is not on my GC1705 I do consider it part of the poor mans 1705/TLB and that is the HF Trencher I bought but anyway I ordered a 16.5 inch bolt on thumb for it.

R1 tires are more aggressive then the R4ç—´ tires thatç—´ why I went with the R4s on my GC1705, less damaging to the yard but a bit more traction then the turfs. It was a toss up between R4 and Turf tires being it was mentioned that Turf tires are a bit better then the R4s in snow but again to...

I use the bushing/adapters on all my 3pt attachments with my Quick Hitch just because it helps snug everything up and at 5.50 a pair at fleet farm it was not to expensive to do. I bought the 5 pair they had because the price was so cheap.

We have lost 5 friends this last year, four to cancer and one liver disease, the hardest was my best friends wife. I really Ike the looks of the 55” wicked grapple but I also have looked at a clam shell type bucket that the PB would work on for about 1/3 the cost.

Picked up these just to have around if needed and so far they have worked just fine for me.

I bought this Auto Dimming Welding Helmet many many years ago and it still works just fine for me. Was only 49.99 back then.

I only have a scut but realized I needed some weight in the back when moving class 5 gravel so I built this box with a removable 30 gal plastic barrel that I can add water to or sand for weight plus I can haul tools and without the barrel in there is a lot of room for other things even different...

My two rides, been sitting in the basement since my heart attacks and major neck surgery years ago, got my first Harley in 79. One of my to do items was to ride a KLR650 from Mn to Alaska but my Heart decided against it 9 years ago. .

Something like this and it has its own trailer in a way.

Tires all on. I did check the hydraulic return line and both worm clamps were loose which is a common issue when new and then it came to my attention that the line was also kinked a bit so I think I will cut off about a half inch and see if that does not take the kink out and go from there...

My two extra axles showed up today so now I have four wheels on it so I can move it without starting it up.

On a Nortrac valve I found this on the nut you are looking for and it’s the same for 2-3-4-5-6 way directional valves and it appears to be part of another item, here is a diagram from Northern tool. It is item 19. There is a phone number listed so you can call and see it that piece is...

Barrel nut. You could drill and tap threaded couplers also. I just extended my joysticks with threaded couplers and ready rod. Here is what I just did yesterday.

Needed to add that my other two axles will be here Tuesday so I will have four wheels to move it around and I was two 3/4x4 hitch pins short, it should be eight 3/4x4inch and two 3/4x6 inch hitch pins to cover the whole unit. I still have the new complete ROPS off a JD 1025R that I will try to...

Ok so it is done till summer. Here is the boom all done and attached. Here is the left side. Here is the right side showing controller extensions, tool box with grease gun mounted on the side and I have the updated hitch pin in so now the only thing to do is start it up and run the...

They have the Central Forged 5inch multi purpose 2 in 1 vice on sale 15.00 off so the wife picked me one up today in Fargo ND for Christmas so I will get to see how good it is after Christmas, hopefully it turns out to be worth 59.00.

This rock was flush with the ground and the 1705 with Piranha bar had no issue getting it out by curling the bucket while pushing, I thought for sure I would damage the bar but not even a mark.

Got it all together and filled with fluids, will start it up later today. Got my extensions today for the valve handles to make them a bit taller and easier to reach. Will post pic of finished trencher later.

2 more pics before it is all together.

Did not find any cotter pins for spindle nuts yet. More pics. Stabilizers This seat is very comfortable I would like to have one like this on my GC1705.

Picked up new Harbor Freight tool from LTL dock in Fargo ND. Made it home and it is waiting on the road while I move snow to get it up to the shop/garage. Will post more pics as I go. But here it is up to the shop/garage, now I need to start unpacking in a couple hours.

Do you buy this for 15,000 ? Or something like this for 15,000, it has 261 hours on it. I will leave my options open when I upgrade, maybe keep the 1705 and the HF Trencher and just buy something yellow like I have pic of.

Couple more.

Kinda all 3, cut,rip and pull when I did the 32foot x 45foot area I still needed to go over it with my teeth on the box blade to rip ot roots that were left behind. Before. After. Cleanup with box blade teeth.

I will use mine for awhile and then I might upgrade to a 13hp motor and order a bigger pump locally, the 13 hp motor has electric start and goes on sale once in awhile for around 300.00 and then all you need to do is grind/oblong the 4 holes on the pump housing to fit the bigger motor, think...

Yes it is a redesigned skid plate.

One of my upgrades showed up today for the trencher, it is a better hydraulic filter and also this filter is available at auto parts stores where as the one that comes on the unit is a hard to find metric threaded filter.

Put a tree up day after Thanksgiving and do not know how much more we will do, wife usually puts up 3 six foot trees and then a 4footer in kitchen and a small one in each of the bedrooms but this year is different, guess we are just getting older and children are grown up, we have no...

The GC1705 is still a virgin when it comes to battle scars but I am sure it’s time is coming being it is still pretty new. My 2 link tire chains came today.

Here is the email I recived.

Seeing more pickup bed/tailgate benches and couches for sale around here in the last two years, since I first seen one I have wanted to do a fold down tailgate work table in my shop but just have not gotten around to doing it. This is what you see a lot of around here. 295.00 is what they are...

I ended up building this 3pt box that I can put a 30 gal barrel in filled with water or sand for extra ballast if needed.

Here is what I run my generator into for my home, had it added to my service back in 98 after a 4 day power out in the winter, would be nice if it had a auto switch but it works for us for what use it gets. I have a 40ft cable that is plugged into the bottom of the 200 amp box and then the cable...

Day before Black Friday Harbor Freight had 15% off everything no exclusions so I saved 450.00 off reg price, it was to good to pass up.

Morning all, sitting having coffee waiting for the storm to pass, looks like we will end up with close to 12 inches, took these pics a while ago. This is my south deck and roof and the wind is out of the north so I can’t wait to see what the driveway looks like later.

Roof Avalanche time.

2:30am and here is my deck, it’s still snowing pretty good, think will hit the 10-12 inch mark by morning.

They had this in the store but in a video that I watched where the guy was repairing his valves said the cheap fluid is probably what caused the issueS and said not to use it in the HF Trencher, he said go with a better premium fluid.

I have had my eye on this grapple/clam bucket for a while and did not even think about putting my Piranha bar on it now I am even more interested in it thanks to reading this thread, thanks.

Here are a few pics of one of my forks on with PB. The forks are going nowhere they are planted pretty good to the bucket, I just thru the fork on so you all could see how it fits.

Better pic of tamers on with the Piranha bar.

I keep it simple but now I also have the QH on tractor.

The Tamers fit over the piranha bar so now I can leave the bar on all year round if I want.

To bad this would not work on a GC1700 series scut. I really do not know why it wouldn稚 work being it is rated 16-25 hp, must be the way the GC is designed.

I take it that’s your Call Sign. Yep them PB’s can do some damage, I even used it as a pry tool to get this rock out, it was flush with the ground, here are 2 picks of a area I did with my new PB, before and after. Before. After.

i like it is a diesel and it seems to be in somewhat good condition for its age, don’t think it will sell to fast but with snow coming you never know. It is about a hour away from my home. I will keep my eye on it and if it is still available later I might make a offer on it after I look it...

Lake froze over two nights ago and today it is 26* out no wind, yesterday it was windy and felt like the arctic outside. Forgot to flip pic.

I just built a ballast box/carry-all and mounted my chainsaw on the side, test drove it down the fence/wood line and it seemed to ride ok mounted there, time will tell, might put some metal brackets around the top and bottom of the scabbard.

Nice, I have 3 hooks and a shackle and I just built a ballast carry all. I will fill that 30 gal drum that is in the carry all with rock or sand and if I need the extra weight I will just put it in or just take it out if not needed. I was test fitting those tamers with the Piranha bar for...

Thanks. I would really like to get the WR Long valve and Wicked 55 for my 1705 so I could move some big rock around on my property but a couple are to big for my 1705 but most are movable with a grapple, there are other things I can use it for for sure The doe was just being a camera hog but...

I put this 100 amp one wire on a old ford last year.

Not sure if this is right place but I came across this Massey 35 for sale not to far from me and it looks like it would be a interesting project to buy maybe, I know nothing about Massey tractors except that I have a 1705 scut. What do you folks think about this?

Just finished this ballast box which is another attachment I guess, think I need to paint it a wild color so it stands out Hmmmmm maybe a Red of some sort hahahaha.

Well all is done but some paint, think I will do some sort of red to make it stand out hahaha.

This is the one I have been looking at.

Duluth Underwear. Expensive but well worth it, won’t go back to anything else untill I hit the diaper stage of life again, hopefully that never happens.

Well I ran out of screws and still need two hinges and a bolt latch and two rear posts to finish the rear tailgate, i built mine so it comes off the metal carry-all so I can still use it for other things the one I kinda copied is attached to the carry-all. I will add some pvc piping for shovel...

Well I started to assemble my ballast box but hade to take a break, will get back out in a bit. Well I got the sides on and now just need to trim the back even and go from there, I might run out of screws hahaha. Ok well I ran out of screws but that’s ok, I just need to go around and add...

Will finish mine today but it is going to look a lot like this.

When I finish this next project I will put it back on and take a pick, probably will be later next week. I did not compensate for the thickness of the deck so where the factory arm hooked up it dropped down about 4-5 inches, the back went up but the center hung down, think if I put stoppers on...

And I thought I had a big blind,8x8.

I take this with me when I go out cutting limbs and trees to sharpen my chain, it痴 faster then using the file but not as good as filing.

Hate to admit it but you are probably right even though I have ridden Harley痴 for over 32 years now my doc says no more riding due to my heart disease, he says I could have a attack while riding and it would not be a good thing, my Harley痴 have been sitting un ridden for many years in my...

Well the front tabs aligned up and fit but they where tight so I will ream both front holes out just a fraction of a hair then pin the hanger back on and put underneath and see if I measured right for the lift arms tabs and then I can adjust the plate if need be, do not know if it will hit...

Well I braved it and ran two 2 inch beads with the 110 welder with good penetration and did not feel anything going goofy with my pacemaker, now I am measuring out for the two rear tabs and I have them just about ready to be spot welded on after I drill the two 3/4 inch holes in them, I did use...

Some of us know what it’s like to have teenagers or young adults living at home so I go downstairs to my basement shop to weld the tabs on the front of my soon to be skid plate and I get everything set up and go to my drawer to get my helmet ive had for 15 years or so and it’s missing! Hmmmm I...

I had my lights moved and speed knob on mine before I even got it off my trailer the day I bought it, I did put plastic plugs in the light holes the next day so there is no duck tape plugging the holes.

Well yes it is a thread about the HF Portable Backhoe. I also did a search before posting. Anyway I turned 59 today and my health is not the best due to a bad heart and a couple other major issues so digging with a shovel is not really a option and renting is a issue due to living rural I would...

Definitely get a hitch pin in here. I keep a handful of different type and size pins in my tool box, I have had them fall out.

All done, it rolls easy and slides nice to tuck it up to a wall or whatever with those tires. Would of been ok with 9 inch long axles rather then 12 inch, it balances real nice no mater where it is on the axels that’s why I never drilled the axel and put the pins in on each side of those big...

Well I just picked up a piece of 14/18 gauge plate steel and now I just need to do some measurements, cut the front corners so they are not square, drill some holes in some 1/4 in tabs I have and spot weld them on to see if it will work, if it does not work as I thought at least I have a nice...

I thought of buying new but then there is shipping cost being I live out in the boonies and the closest place that had one in stock was just about 70 miles away. I just got back from the farm where it was being sold at and it was only 24 miles away so all in all I saved money and got a pretty...

Just received a call back from a person selling this on Craigslist for 95.00 dollars, going to look at it tomorrow, would be a nice starting point for a rear ballast, I was going to use a 3 point receiver hitch but this would be way better.

Yep HF, I call all my battery maintainers battery tenders, i am normally not referring to one particular brand, forgot I had this little solar one in my basement not being used also.

You got it, just like a deck, it has been a crappy day here with high winds and rain so I did not get to town but my wheels showed up for my MMM dolly and again to crappy outside to open the garage/shop door and lift the mower deck up to fit the axles, the wind and rain are blowing right at the...

Just received two of these battery tenders to try out that I forgot I had ordered with some wheels, was more interested in the wheels then the tenders.

The wheels fit perfectly but they do need air added.

Well my wheels showed up today so if the rain stops I will go out and fit them so I can drill the holes in the axles to keep them from moving when assembled on the mower deck.

This is the one I致e seen.

Here is my basement shop and what little room I have left in there, can not wait till all my tools are in one big shop.

I made it for maybe about 10.00.

I have a nice kerosene heater but this is what my shop/garage looks like now, can not wait till I get my new shop built even though I have physical limitations on what I can do at least I could still hang out and do some stuff to help alleviate cabin(house) fever.

I just bought four of these tires for a MMM dolly I am making and for only 3.99 each on sale it is a good deal.

Ground off two of the welds and now I am just waiting for tires then I can balance it and drill the four cotter pin holes for the pins and it will be done, thanks for the ideas from those who have built their own dollies.

Tell me about it here is my shop well it used to be my shop now it is just a packed garage. Here is my storage spot for my mower deck for now.

Ok so here it is, I hope Gene is ok with me posting this on his thread? Anyway I bought 2 pieces of 1 inch solid stock 12 inches long and four 5/8 stove bolts 5 inches long, I was going to weld it with my 110 but I chickened out and went over to my neighbors and we welded them up with his 220...

I just called the iron shop this afternoon and ordered two 12 inch pieces of 1 inch solid stock and I also ordered four 10 inch pneumatic tires for 3.99 each on sale with 5/8ths hub bearings from Harbor Freight and tomorrow I will pickup nuts, washers, bolts and pipes. I have a small 110...

I went out and started mine this morning at 32*, held the glow for 50 seconds and it started but not willingly, cold and un heated garage and next time I will plug it in and try it. A bigger battery is always nice when it’s cold whether gas or diesel.

Stick it low and curl the bucket up, that is where the power is and that is how I got this rock out, the only reason I knew the rock was there is that I hit it with the teeth on my box blade, took two tries to get it out and it did not even mark the Piranha bar.

Another one, hope someone with more knowledge then me will say one of these would work.

Just popped up for us in west central Mn, is this effecting anyone else on TBN?

Done and Done. Again Thanks Nacademus.

I went with black, it just started printing and I will take a pic of finished clip when done.

Thanks, sent it to my other computer so I can load it on a sd card and plug it into my 3D printer, need to get my printer out for the winter being that痴 when I play around with it, think I even have red filament.

You must of had ordered your PB to fit the Tamers, mine has the small tooth at the ends and yours does not, my Tamers and fork bars and bucket hitch work fine with the small tooth still there.

Thought I seen a video where they said this fits both 95 and 100 FEL.

Kinda like what your looking for, just trying to help, Clevis panhard bar mount.

I bought a XB 60 King Kutter landscaped Rake and it did not fit my country time quick hitch, it was to narrow so I took off the QH and mounted it the standard way and went out to try it out a bit, it will definitely be a asset to my other 3 point accessories but now I need to go back to the city...

I ended up buying this today to add to my other equipment. Jim.

Need to add, the Piranha Bar showed up and it fit the bucket perfectly, exactly what I was looking for and it works great. Jim.

I used the Piranha bar and my box blade to do this 34 foot x 65 foot area. I think I will try a land rake or a scarifier/tooth bar to get the rest of the Sumac roots cleaned up and level with the BB. Jim.

Nice ride, nothing like getting out and airing out the thoughts. Keep the rubber side down and enjoy. Here are my getaway rides. Jim.

Got some more roots cleaned out today for shop build. Jim.

Got some more prep work done today, need to get a land/yard rake now. Jim.

I only had my box blade on for counter weight, that rock was flush with the ground, I got the Piranha bar in along side the rock and tilted the bucket up to pry it out, I was surprised at how big it was. I have not built a regular counter weight yet but I do have a 3 point receiver hitch that I...

Ok so I have cut down a area of sumac with the Piranha bar and I have run over the area with my box blade using teeth to rip up as much as possible but still need to do some more cleaning before I dump class 5 gravel, here is how it looks now. I will also be prepping two more areas, one will...

Tractor time today, working on my new shop area, removed sumac and cleaning, Leveling the area out. From this. To this. And the 1705 wanted its picture taken, oh the drama just like a child. Jim.

Piranha bar got this rock out. 1705 posing for the camera, what a putz hahaha. Jim.

Well here is 2.5 hours of work and no deadheading the hydrostat, spun tires under load. I ended up extending the center tooth on the box blade and used it like a ripper and holy cow did I have piles of roots and sod, did that for about 1.5 hours and then I just kept running around with the box...

Nice range, I need more on mine like you have. Here is my 100 yard range, we were out shooting airguns in this pic. Shooting 25-50-75 and 100 yards, plus I shoot archery too. Jim.

Thought about venting mine so I could keep it in the basement but just never got around to it, procrastination at its finest. Switch box. Jim.

Just got a call tonight from my neighbor and late last night someone or persons broke into his shop and stole his Honda Fourtrax ATV and a utility wagon with his chainsaw,ax,shovels,rakes and other tools in it and the whole kicker is they were so quite that their dog did not even bark and they...

Spent about 2 hours removing some more Sumac with the Piranha bar and also tried out my front forks I bought, they attached right to the bucket and even worked just fine with the Piranha bar left on so I moved a pallet full of odd and end wood I picked up out of the Sumac. From yesterday. This...

Put the Piranha bar to work. Started to rain again so I stopped for the day, I have about a 40x30 foot area to go.

Well I got out for a bit before it started to rain. Just starting. Jim. Will not let me load two other pics at this time.

Can not wait to get out today and try it for the first time, I will have before and after pics to come. Jim. P.S some pics are upside down but when tapped on show up normal, pics are taken the same way but just download goofy.

I was really surprised on how nice the cut is with the 60 inch deck, my 6 acres looks real nice when I am done although my Cub Cadet RZTL 54 does a real nice job too just takes longer and I get shaken up pretty good from the ruff ground. Cub uses about 5 gallons and the GC about 1.5 or so, it...

This is just a example but all I would need now is a 3 foot extension and a Velcro strap a half hour and a cup of coffee and my 1705 would be set up to have trailer lights. I would strip, wrap, solder and tape my connection instead of using locs. Of course I would want the other plug being the...

Again I should of never sold my 17. Jim.

Got the Piranha bar on the bucket yesterday. Jim.

Before I found those Edge Tamers I was going to figure out a way to use a pair of these on my bucket, I have a pair that are threaded on my other snow blade and was going to switch them around but then I found the Tamers. Jim.

I got the Tamers to keep the teeth/bucket from digging into the ground, I will use the float on the FEL and drive into that heavy thatch and the Tamers will keep the teeth from digging into the ground if there are any dips or high spots plus I can tilt the bucket down to give those Piranha teeth...

I recived the Piranha bar and installed it this afternoon, took about 5 minutes from start to finish and it fits perfectly I also put the Edge Tamers on and they fit without any modifications to the bar, just wanted to show some pics, I have a big area of brush I will try it on tomorrow. Bar...

Here is the bucket with Piranha bar. Piranha bar with Edge Tamers on. Pick of bottom of bucket. Pic of area I am going to clean up with Piranha bar, take out the tall weeds. Jim.

Only a 22 and 22mag in Henry rest are Marlin, 30-30, 308 express, 45-70. Jim.

Here is a hose pliers, you can get them in a couple different sizes.

I was looking at a 30x45 and that was around 9000.00 for a quality one plus it depends on the design. Jim.

I really thought of adding about three inches of flat iron to the top of each implement then re drilling the top link hole and then the hook would work fine but was kinda keeping that to myself until I did it, I need to get a friend of mine to do the welding due to my pacemaker, the extended...

The hook does not work with the Walco box or back blade I have, not enough room for the hook to catch the pin, if the bolt holding the 4 straps together under the top pin was a inch lower the hook would work fine. If I had a hydraulic top link I could probably angle the hook enough to grab, the...

Having my ccw permit I legally could have this style in my pickup or UTV as open carry. This is one I have been looking at for inside my Ranger UTV. This is what I use now but would like to have my tool inside with me at the ready. Jim.

Speaking of back yards and boats, my back yard at my home. My GC1705 has so far proven to be a good choice for my 6 acres of cleared land(12.7 total acres). Jim.

Here. All State Ag Parts.

I have two properties about 11.4 miles apart and I was thinking of keeping the 1705 at my home on the lake and in the garage this winter until I get my shop built on the other property plus the utv starts pretty good in below zero temps when sitting outside, not to sure the 1705 will be as easy...

So I have owned my 1705 for about 4 weeks and all I have been reading is how bad it is to disconnect the pto for the deck is and well I finally got the nerve to try and do it today with my son there just incase something happened to me(health issues). Well to start off it took me longer to get...

Always like this one even if it was staged or not.

Picked this up almost 2 years ago and it still works fine for what I use it for. Would like to get this so I can go back to using my air tools, my small compressor does not cut it. Anyone have one like this from HF. Jim.

What I like about the QH is that once you get it put on and the 2 turnbuckles tightened up the QH is pretty solid and does not shift a lot side to side, I also got all three of my implements adjusted to fit with the lower pin bushings but I needed to use a extension on top instead of the hook...

Thanks 4get gto. That’s kinda what I was thinking but attaching to the loader but until I get a soft cab for the 1705 I will probably be using this setup one more year. Jim.

I made the mistake of selling my 17S a couple years ago and now I am kicking myself for selling it, been looking for a 16 but they all have gone up in price, this is what I replace the 17 with. Here is my 17 I wish I never sold.

Was out at my property and range today and collected some spent brass from the FNAR. Jim.

I also found this dual rear remote valve where side A has float and B does not, A would be top link of course and B side link, I know nothing when it comes to hydraulics which could be dangerous but I know better then to just hap hazardously do it without asking questions. This would work too...

I致e been finding lose bolts my latest was today, all eight of my loader arm pin bolts were only finger tight, I noticed two pins sticking out a bit, surprisingly non fell out when mowing the other day.

This is my plan to build the bucket attachment for blade, my basic plan of attack. I will use tie downs or chain with binders to hold it on to the bucket, just a quick basic drawing.

I have 12.7 acres and mow about six acres of that which is fairly level except for the ditch along the highway, I mow the ditch and around the camper with a 54 inch Cub Cadet zero turn, used to mow the whole thing with my zero turn until about 4 weeks ago, I decided to go with a scut with a 60...

That is real nice, I like seeing what folks can do with iron and a welder being I can not weld anymore due to a pacemaker and morphine pump, doc says no welding. Call me jealous. Just out of curiosity is it possible to put a 2 inch receiver by the quick hitch pins? Here is where I mean, it...

Here is what I’ve used last 4 to 6 years and here is my new one. Jim.

I was mowing my 6 acres with my Husqvarna YTH24V48 which has the Tuff Torq K48 trans and it was a bit small, took a long time to mow then two years ago I bought a Cub Cadet RZT L54( I know you don’t want a 54 but it is available in 48 I think) and that took about a hour off my mowing and now...

Two more.

So I went to the hardware store and bought a 4 foot 1/4 inch rod for 3.50 and a 2 foot plastic tube for 1.58 for a total of 5.08 plus a bit of tax, took and bent the end of the rod in about a 2 inch circle or best I could then fitted it on the bucket pin and after a bit of adjustment I now have...

This is what I used in my pickup, just pull the fuse and slide it on and put fuse back in, they make them for the glass fuse also.

Good luck on your change of lifestyle. We are leaving 30 years of this view everyday to our own secluded 12.7 acres with a stream in two-three years.

Tuff Top says to fold it down but I think it would become more of a wind blocker, I’m thinking of drilling a hole in each front metal bracket and then using two short tie downs to keep the front from grabbing air, think it would be better then folding it down, here is a pic with two green lines...

Sounds like a good deal. Here is one for sale close to same hours. 07 with 621 I think for hours.

Take it this is the one, looks good. I went with Tuff Top sunshade.

I’m a lightweight being I just got my first scut, mines easy, 2013 F150 4x4 5.0 crew cab with a 14 foot steel trailer, it is all. Need being I will not be moving it around very much. When I upgrade in a few years I will upgrade trailer to a 20 foot dual axle and then use my sons Ram 2500 12...

Match with this Ham tower and your good to go.

Howdy, I am new to owning a sub compact GC1705 and I have been reading a lot about adding a valve for operating the top and side link when using a back blade or box blade. Now my question is, if I remove my FEL and my FEL controller is still on my tractor what is keeping a person from getting...

A Elmer are ya. I had to throw that out there. I’m getting ready to put these two items in my pickup, removed them from my old pickup and yes I’m putting the ssb CB in being some folks still use them out here when out 4 wheeling. My goal is to order a Yaesu FT-897D and put that in my pickup. Jim.

My couplers are only 12 - 24 inches off the ground and having a receiver hitch high on a QH make it a bit harder to just hook up being they are a bit higher, on a tractor that your moving farm trailers around it wound not be a issue but trailers that are being hooked and unhooked from cars or...

Very nice, I知 still a bit behind but I have a TS2000 in my shack but as of now I知 in the process of putting up a new 10 - 80 dipole. Here is a old pick when I 1st got my TS. I need a bigger tractor and a reason for a grapple but it would be nice if I decided to clear out my 5 acres of woods.

Close up.

Will this help? Just for info. liberty backhoe parts catalog transportini.com

I never even thought about leaving the hook on I will have to see if it’s in the way or not but there is at least one thing I know and that is we are on the same page when it comes to using the top link to the best of its ability. I will stay with this because it works for me right now with my...

Ok so when mowing I have my throttle set in the middle of the green and when using the FEL or blade I run at the top of green.

Congrats! Nice looking tractor wish I could of justified buying one like that, maybe in 3-4 years being my neighbor out at my other property offered to sell me the 40 acres next to my 12.7 acres in 3-4 years so that will give me a reason to upgrade. I took delivery of my new MF GC1705 last...

I picked up a Country Pro at the local Fleet Farm and have to use the adapter instead of the hook with both my Walco blade’s.

Here is how I had to set mine up for the box and back blade. Jim.

Here is my 16x6x5 tool box on a 1705 behind the seat. Jim.

I have had to use this adapter on my Walco cat 1 box blade and back blade with the Country quick hitch from Mills Fleet Farm.

I知 thinking of putting a eyelet/hole in the front end of each support arm and run a line/ small ratchet strap down to a attachment area on each side of the FEL and see if that will make a big enough of a difference so I don稚 have to remove it to trailer it. Something like this ruff drawing...

Here is a better pick of the Walco I picked up, I probably could of went 60” but went with a 48” to to be safe.

One more.

Got the sunshade on the GC.

Mine are bolted on and I’m not worried about a thing, I’m sure my bucket will bend from abuse before anything else happens.

Found these for cheap on A.......n Jim.

Just did mine, took about 10 min but had to loosen up the 3 nuts on the lower right ROP to pull the wire plug through( no big deal ), I will have a friend use my welder( I have a pacemaker now and welding is a no no I guess and I don’t want to find out )sometime this fall and plug the holes or...

Just got home with my new toy, picture proff.
