this is just a hobby so I’m not looking to spend a bunch of money. I’ve got a 45hp bobcat ct4045 tractor. Is it big enough to pull a hay baler and how much $ would I need to spend? Just looking how to make the small square bales Thank you

Looking at a Iron-craft ctgr60 for my bobcat ct4045. $1,500 price. Is this a good price on it? Will it hold up well? Looking to move brush, logs, rocks and uproot small saplings out of the ground I don’t use my backhoe on. Thanks.

I’ve got a ct4045, 110 hours, making a hissing sound and I have no rear hydraulics. My front hydraulic’s on the loader works fine. Hissing is on the side with the hoses but I’m not seeing fluid coming out. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I’ve got a huge washout about 6 feet wide and 6 feet deep due to a culvert that was crushed years ago. I managed to use my tractor backhoe to fill it in and dig the culvert out but somehow the water is just leaking through the ground where I placed the dirt and running through into my field...

I broke the male end of my pto on my cutter. Unhooked my cutter and drove away forgetting to unhook the pto from the tractor. Pulled apart and I reversed it into a pretzel…. Can I use the male end on my tiller to use on the cutter or is it too short and a bad idea?

For the life of me I cannot get my pto shaft on the tiller to slide back together and I don’t know why. Any ideas?

So I’ve got an overgrown field I used my cutter on and tried to till it only getting a couple passes and now having to stop and spend hours digging out vines/briars/grasses. So I can cut it lower, in future I can try and cut it at 3 hights to break things down better. But most the stuff just...

So I found Athens plow company and seen a pull type disc 1646lbs giving 82lbs per disc. I have a ct4045 bobcat that’s 45hp and it’s rated for it but I was surprised how much heavier per disc this is than the normal 35-40lbs per disc I see. However I seen this one used going for over $5,000...

I cannot get my hoses to reconnect for the life of me. I’ve been pushing on them forever, I’m gonna sore as hell over this. What am I missing? I moved the joystick on the front loader to relieve pressure and I moved the joysticks on the backhoe to relieve pressure. Thanks.

So I’m not knowledgeable on trailers what so ever. Just upgraded my tractor and seen an old trailer from 1999 for $3,000 that is rated for my tractor/backhoe. The guy is a farmer and the trailer has been used to haul hay and a 75hp tractor. Never had brakes, axle or suspension replaced. I’m...

I cut a 20” log as a backhoe stand to rest on. When I pulled away I thought I could bleed the stabilizer arms down just like I do my front loader bucket but it wouldn’t go. Is it ok to leave it like this and just let it bleed down on it’s own? Or do I need to completely raise those stabilizer...

So my cutter still hasn’t come in yet and we have a lot of raining coming which is perfect for a fall food plot. Would it be ok on my tiller to till up a spot that has waist high grass/briars? I’d rather wait if it will cause a problem with the tiller and just assume to not have one at all if...

So the top pin for the thumb won’t match up in the hole. Didn’t take a hammer to it yet but my guess is it’s off enough to where that won’t work. Doesn’t look as though anything is bent out of place. Do they all fit this bad?

How can I bend this back and if I have to get someone with a welder to heat it up will the metal lose strength? It’s not a terrible bend and maybe I should leave it but it bugs me being there. It didn’t happen while digging as I’m pretty easy on the machine. Believe it happened while pulling a...

So I’ve got a stump where I feel I popped all the roots and probably went deeper down than I needed too. But the stump is very big and I think it’s just the pure middle holding on. My technique is I just carefully dig a trench all around it trying not to pick the machine up or move it. I don’t...

I have a bobcat ct4045 and I’m wondering what rpms I should run my backhoe at? I looked through my manual on the backhoe and I’m not seeing anything. I’m assuming it’s between the normal two lines for running a pto implement. Also I’m not good at running the backhoe yet, terrible actually, and...

I have a gatormade trailer with 3,500 lb axles. How and where would you go to get a axle upgrade? Afterwards if I was in an accident would I be at fault with an insurance adjuster or would he honor that I upgraded my axles? The trailer stamp would have the same weight unless I took it...

I just noticed a bobcat ct 4045 only has a 3 cylinder engine. Looking at kubota's similar weight/hp class with L4701 is a 4 cylinder engine. How much power difference is this between the two? Also I've noticed bobcat has bigger hydraulic flow which means a loader and backhoe should move...

I'm looking at buying a bobcat ct 4045. 45 horsepower and 3745 pounds bare tractor. What size disc should I be able to pull with this? Bobcat doesn't make disc so I don't think they have a rating of what size it can use. This tractor comes standard with rear hydraulic hook up so I could use...

Can you drive and transport a tractor with the backhoe attachment on but no front loader? I have an 18 foot trailer and looking to get a bobcat ct4045 with backhoe. Issue is I'm seeing its gonna be too long. Tractor is 10.5 feet alone, with front loader I doubt I'll fit the backhoe or a...

I have a cutter and tiller rated for a kubota b2601 and I'm trading the tractor in for a bobcat ct4045. This bobcat is 45 hp and I'm wondering if it will break my implements being a higher hp? I'm assuming the implements will work as long as there's enough play in the shaft to reach the pto...

Looking to trade in my tractor and considering trading in my tiller with it to get a bottom plow instead. I'm definitely getting a heavy disc and I feel once the initial tilling/plow has been done all I'll ever do is disc. Discing to enhance native forbs. Food plot would be...

Can a BH77 with a mechincal thumb grab rocks like these without breaking the equipment?

Looking to purchase a L3901 with a DH1060 disc that's 548 pounds. According to the spec sheet that's 34 pounds per disc, 16 disc. If I add 203 pounds of weight I'd have 47 pounds per disc equivalent to a much heavier DH2572. I've seen the DH2572 on youtube and liked how much it rips into the...

I'm looking at purchasing a bh77, 16" bucket and ripper. How hard is it to switch between these? I was going to get the quick attach for the backhoe but my dealer said it's fairly easy to switch them out but I cannot find any videos of anyone doing it. Thanks.

I currently have a b2601, r4 tires and I'm really disappointed with it. Been an ongoing issue. I have a tiller, brushhog, boxblade with it. Kubota now does 84 months on the L series and I'm considering getting the L3901 with R1 tires and grapple. I'll include some pictures of my projects...

How deep will a box blade dig a trench? I've a got a small creek that is spilling out into my field and flooding some of it. I want to dig s trench and run it to a major creek that runs along the other side of the property. Kubota b2601, southern Indiana. Also will the water just keep making...

I bent my pto shaft on my cutter. To get a replacement I need to know if it's a slip clutch or shear pin. I have all my paper work but apparently Kubota has no idea what type I got even with the serial number.... anyways how do I tell the difference, I'm clueless?

I'd like to upgrade to a Massey Fergosun 1739e tractor. Weighs 2,800lbs tractor alone. I'm wanting to dig a trench for a pipe and dig out lots of stumps average around 12 inch diameter. How long would it take a tractor this size to dig a stump? I live in southern Indiana and the land I have...

What is the best way to remove these rocks? Yes I'm able to dig them up but it's one after another and doesn't end. I feel like I could be here rest of the year. Got to be a better way. Looking to till this land up for a food plot and plant shrubs on the hillside like blueberries and...

Trying to angle my box blade to make a ditch along this hill to help divert rain water from a driveway I'm putting in. After about an or so of passes this is all the deep I am. Is this the expeditions of a box blade or am I doing something wrong? B2601 kubota.

What's the best grapple for digging up rocks and keeping them but letting dirt fall through? Also pulling up small saplings and small old stumps. Thank you.

I have a kubota B2601 and live in southern Indiana. At my hunting property the drive is under water. I have mounds of dirt around knee some places higher that's full of creek rock from when the county put a bridge in. I'd like to smooth all these mounds down and build up my drive. I also...

Been at this few months now. Clearing woods to run a tiller thru is feeling like an indefinite task. Considering a disc or bottom plow. Most my clearing is on a slight slope so when I removing stumps and rocks it's a little scary when the tractor picks up from the ground a bit on a slope...

Still new to owning a tractor. I picked all this clean, looked better before the leaves fell. My question is how much can my tiller withstand? Tons of rocks, I dig one out to find 5 more.... So I put the guard down so the tiller is barely scraping the ground. Still hits some sticks and rocks...

Where do you guys hook a chain up to on the back of the tractor to pull out stumps and so forth? Thank you.

Very new to tractors and I rolled mine yesterday. Got it on its wheels and left it so everything will settle, fluid wise, in case of leaks and it was dark. I did notice a small spill by the hydraulic fluid. I'm wanting to check all my fluids and not miss any been reading the manual and it...

I've had my tractor for a week so I'm very new. When I purchased I ordered a woods tooth bar from the dealership, still waiting to come in and they will install. I'm wondering now though if a bxpanded piranha toothbar would be better as the teeth are closer together and not so spaced out...

I bought a kubota b2601 tractor less than a week ago. I'm inexperienced with tractors as this is my first one. I'm wanting to remove saplings with front end loader roots and all so I can come in with a tiller for food plots. Love to hunt. This stump here is on the bigger side of what I'm...
