Try to park them in the shade, and don't worry about it.

Here is a list of machines that Kai at Bison equipment told me has 30 mm pins with the same spacing as my excavator: "I checked our database and the size is exactly the same as the Daewoo S015 and Doosan DX17 Z. It's also compatible with Bobcat models E20, E20Z, E10, X320, X322, X322D, X323...

If you have rocky soil consider not getting anything smaller than a 3 ton machine, definitely no smaller than 2.5. My 2 ton can barely do anything in very rocky soil.

Expandable tracks are not great in my opinion. I am constantly having to lift my machine and switch the valve to push the tracks back out, cause there constantly getting pushed in. Unless you plan on hogging out a lot of basements and need to get through the door, I would not recommend them.

Check out the Rippa R22

Used oil is awesome, I use a paint roller. Apply as many coats as you want, it does get slick if you keep putting it on but the first few soak in like a sponge.

I bought a 853 used about 5 years ago, and I put 26" wheels on it(which is really nice for mowing!). I used a 830 for about 7 years before that, the 853 was a nice upgrade but pulling the clutch a lot can be tiring after a while. I dream of getting a 749 with powersafe some day. When I cultivate...

Yes, they definitely qualify as tractors!

Call Joel and ask, he would know.

The first thing you need to do is power wash that thing.;)

Isn't the problem all of the libs in the cities are the majority of the population? The farmers and people in the rural areas do not have voting power.

have you done this? David Bradley Parts

Update. I used the machine for a hour after fixing the hydraulic leak, the next morning I went out to feel for oil. Now the machine is leaking diesel from the tank, turns out the tank is prone to cracking the dealer said. I told the dealer I am not surprised at all because the tank is only...

Collect as much of the ash as you can from the burn site. Spread it all around the burn site on the grass, your grass will thank you very much. After that you can spread seed and ideally mulch on top with straw/hay. If you use a rock rake and rake the seeds in they will germinate better...

Yeah I think it is a good idea. I would much rather talk on here then Facebook! Also, the Facebook for Kymron is run by one of the Kymron dealers and you can only talk Kymron and only positive...

thanks, I did not know that!

I found the leak, it was a loose hose clamp. There is a rubber hose which connects the intercooler to the hard line and the clamp on the hard line side was leaking. I moved the clamp closer to the end of the hose and added a second clamp. Thanks for everyone's help. It was the inspection mirror...

Check out Rippa Texas they are another dealer, That is where Mike Festiva(youtube,2 machines) bought his from.

Yes that is what I was saying. I was wondering if there was a way of finding the leak that I didn't know about that's why I asked. I am going to start with the inspection mirror.

My Kymron ZX22 has a hydraulic fluid leak that is baffling me. I have removed most of the panels and washed everything down with degreaser multiple times. I parked the machine on level ground. I have been able to narrow down the area of the leak to but still am unable to find it. The leak is...

Prussic Acid Johnsongrass Duration Prussic acid can be a concern with Johnson grass for a period of time after the plant is stressed, such as during drought or frost. The risk is highest in young plants and during periods of stress. For example, after a frost, prussic acid levels can be...

It is easy to avoid prussic acid poisoning with rotational grazing. Unfortunately, most cattle farms are not rotational grazers.

You can make a bracket to hang barbell weights on the front wheels, also fill your tires with fluid. Check out wheel weights below to see what I mean. They will not bolt to your hubs but will show you what I mean. https://www.earthtools.com/tractor-implement-accessories/wheel-accessories/

When I saw a field of ungrazed Johnson Grass in midsummer one time I was amazed, it looked like the best stand of pearl millet or sorghum sudan I had ever seen! I did not know what johnson grass was at that point and was sure the farmer had cultivated that crop. How could you possibly want to...

What the great Joel Salatin said in the recent Stockman Grass Farmer newspaper when someone asked about how to rid there hayfield of Johnson Grass. " Cows love Johnsongrass : It's a wonderful summer forage. In mid-summer; it's the prefered species and unless the cows are moved from paddock to...

what is so wrong with Johnson grass? it is excellent forage to graze in the warm season when the cool season pasture is half dead. It dies back in the cool season for you to graze your clover, orchard grass, fescue, and etc.

Still doesn't look that steep to me that you can't make a flat spot to put a cage in. It seems you can get your tractor closer to the uphill side so you can get your outrigger down. Also, You don't even need to use your tractor to make a flat spot, if it is not rocky there it won't take you...

Yeah, the grade does not look so steep that you can't make a 2' flat spot below the trail/road.

Those spirals go on pretty swiftly. I have used them before for connecting cattle panels for livestock fencing. The Hog rings go on real quick too, once you get the hang of using the tool. You have to kneel down to put the c rings on the lower areas of the cage. One thought I just had... if you...

I did not even look into the gabion spirals. It looks like it may be a little more expensive but not having to buy the hog ring gun would offset that.

I think a gabion cage would be much more effective and have less chance for failure. I mentioned horizontal and vertical above, I realized this is misleading. I meant all wire stays are horizontal(go from side to side) every 2 ft. The wire stays are started about 2' from the bottom of the cage...

Build a gabion cage. You can use hog panels, cut them in half length wise for the top and bottom, use full height for the sides. Make stays with wire placed every 2 ft. horizontal and vertical to prevent the cages from being spread open with the rocks.

Read this thread for more information, I found it searching on Brave, "what tilt trailer to get". https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/tilt-trailers-good-bad-real-world-input-appreciated.155621/

Is your machine a pilot control hydraulic? If so this helps for the jerkiness, www.PilotSpringMod.com.

The hedge trimmer works great, I use it on the FS131 because I like the handlebars on the trimmer.

I have a FS131 and it is great, would buy another in a minute.

I would never cut down a large diameter oak, at least not on my own property, unless it was a liability. Also, I know the 261 with a 20" bar would have no problem with it either unless I was cutting up 10 large oak trees in one day. One large oak = no problem.

I am a grass farmer, my pastures are all edged with trees, 1/3 of my property is woods, and I heat my home exclusively with wood. I also do tree work on the side because I enjoy it so much. My only saw is a 261 with a 20" bar. I swapped the 18" for a 20" years ago and never looked back. The...

The last thing I would want to do is lug around a heavy saw. The 261 is heavy enough as is and powerful enough to easily take care of anything you would regularly throw at it, with a 20" bar on it as well. This is as long as you keep your chain sharp which is easy to do with a Stihl 4 n 1 tool.

Looks like a well made thumb to me.

Yeah you can it just takes longer. You have to make vertical cuts and break it up into multiple pieces.

I always put the disks on hand tight, that way you can usually get them back off by hand.

I drink milk from my cows, and eat meat from my animals every day. Cows eat my greens for me :)

I would flush the system with diesel first. Drain the fluid out, let it sit with the plug out overnight. Next day put 5 gallons of diesel in it and run it for 5 minutes. Drain the diesel mix off overnight and fill with cheap clean fluid cuse you might have to do it again.

If your grass is well established a landscape rake will not hurt it if used periodically. You can adjest the top link so that the tines are not angled forward towards the grass as much and that will help not tear it up as well.

You could go over the yard with a flail mower to mulch the debris.

So all of these sources are wrong your saying? Brave Search

I imagine your inspector might not be happy with the results of using your front end loader for this. If you disturb the soil in excess he might make your replan. Your going to need a laser transit to do it.

Disagree, it is certainly a tractor and if you look up the definition of tractor it even says 2 wheel walk behind.

I purchased my 853 for $3,300 used and it came with a rotary plow, it was well worth the cost.

other option would be to use the rotary plow since you only need it under the surface.

Get a John Deere Gator 6x4, its a beast that will hold 1,000 lbs in the bed. The 6x4 needs ballast up front or else it understeers pretty bad. I have added almost 100 lbs on mine and would like to add more.

So you put the knife and a half only at the end of the bar?

I love using my 451 as well, I will never get a rotary mower.

Nothing wrong with eating raw meat I do it regularly in fact it is much healthier as it retains all of the enzymes.

And I thought $350 for my LS starter was insane.

I do not treat mine, so far it has no rust on it and it is under a roof outside. This table is awesome, check it out, it is well worth the price. https://north40.com/lincoln-electric-portable-welding-table

Can't go wrong with a M7060, or M6060 :)

I don't want to give my dogs the shot either! :)

The tractors work fine and maybe you'll appreciate not having the soot coming out in your face.

can you show me examples of that?

I think your machines parts are just as expensive as the other two.

I remove my loader every time I am going to mow, rake, or bale. It is quick and easy to do once you learn how on LEVEL ground. Using the tractor without the loader us SOO much fun, like going from a box van to a sports car lol. I do not have the fancy quick connect lever for the hoses and find...

MX60 serviced at your local dealer, It won't make much of a difference if you buy from your local dealer they should still service your tractors minimal needs.

John Deere seems to be built a little heavier to me whenever I look at them it seems pretty obvious if you study them.

I have never used mine.

Thank you. I do not like how the saw has a tendency to roll the chain off when I am cutting sometimes unless the chain is tight on the bar. Since most of my cutting is limbing I imagine I will be fine with the 3/8" bar/chain.

If it bothers you, pull the post and split the round with a maul.

So it sounds like the 261 is better suited with the .325 if your running a 20" bar and cutting large rounds.

That has been my experience as well. Always very easy to start.

Recently when I witnessed my baby Boy being born.

What do you think is better about 3/8" chain?

Stihl 261C is amazing, runs a 20" no problem if your chain is sharp. Main reason I like the 261 over anything bigger is it is nice and light.

push your scrench down around the plug it takes a little force.

Rippa has a reputation of building good machines. I would not hesitate to buy one from them. I saw the R-18PRO recently and it looks like a really nice machine. I ended up getting Kymron ZX-22 which was $4,000 more. I may have bought a Rippa instead if I had looked at them more before I made my...

Dig in line with the driveway and keep your trench as small as you can.

I think your going to trash a 5-6' box blade. You need a cat 2 7-8' box blade( depending on your rear wheel width). Have you looked at craigslist and facebook marketplace?

Yeah me to, I was amazed the first time I used one. So far I have only used it for weld prep and clean up. Don't think I could power a bigger one, My compressor is 29 Gallon, 165 PSI, 5.3 SCFM.=

Have you contacted your state forestry department to see about a prescribed burn?

Of course poison is going to affect everything including the person applying it.

This is a lot more clean up involved in prepping a repair than cleaning slag.

Me too, I like to use a needle scaler which removes slag fast!

With steering brakes you should have no problem maneuvering around the woods with the MX. The only thing that should be on the back is a boom pole or logging winch. If you get a grapple do not get one that is as wide as the wheels as it greatly reduce your maneuverability . It sounds to me like...

I was going to say me too! but then I saw you have a MX. I was looking at MX and got a M7060 - much better choice for me!

Check out Bison Equipment for a China skid steer(including youtube) - Also check out Rippa Equipment.

Yeah if you buy beet juice which is overkill. You can use antifreeze mixed with water or pay more and buy Ethanol. Either way the fluid can be reused when you get new tires..

You can buy the stuff to fill the tires yourself pretty easy. - all in for less than $100

Don't worry about the regen just use the tractor. I regen about every 15 hours on my M7060.

Have you considered a stick welder? Wind is no problem and you can weld thin metal with them if your careful. I just repaired a wheelbarrow that had holes in it from wear and rust with 1/16th 6013 rods and it was pretty easy to do...

I think it's pretty normal to only get 8 hours out of a tank. All of the equipment I have used if am using it hard after 8 hours it is below a 1/4 tank.

Or it hopefully won't :)

There is no point in having a bolt on in my opinion. I have a bucket with teeth and a bucket without and I can do just as good of a job finishing with the toothed bucket and get a lot more done without pushing the tractor as hard then the one with out.

I did not have any problems doing that.

mix with used motor oil, stain wood or start fires.

Where did you read that? ever since I got my tractor most of the time I shift without using the clutch by putting the shuttle in neutral..

You know you don't have to use the clutch to shift right? Shift your shuttle into neutral before changing gears than go back to forward.

I just bought a commercial grade Chinese mini ex(Kymron ZX22) with the intention of making some money on the side. I have almost 50 hours on it now and am getting faster at operating the machine. I have my first job to do which is to excavate a slope on one side of a house several feet out...

I bought my ZX22 from Parsley Equipment recently and have been very pleased - I have 47 hours on it now - It is very capable for how small it is. Sometimes I dream of bigger machine too lol. I bought this counterweight to add to the machine - I will post a thread about it soon. Used...

Swing boom very useful already used it several times in less than 50 hours.

Does she understand that they have vastly different purposes? What are you wanting to get done with the machine?

Jello(collagen) will make you pass a urine test for THC if your concerned - worked for me several times when I was in high school and on probation :)

Yeah I would suggest Rippa as well.

I would wait till you could get a decent used one not the piece of crap at tractor supply. If you never took it off the driveway than piece of crap will do fine :)

Land Pride makes a good sturdy rake too. I had a rake I used on my 32 hp LS and it was one of my favorite implements. I have missed it since my LS died. Great at bringing the gravel back up in the driveway - amazing at clearing brush and brambles - excellent at prepping cleared land for seeding...

They are not Toyota Tacomas - they are Toyota pickup.

I got the dealer to throw in a canopy. I called other dealers and told them the quote I was given - I was told that was a excellent quote for me so I never felt tempted to ask for more.

I would recommend the excavator it is a superior digging machine by comparison and you will find so many uses for it as time goes on.

If I couldn't get the filters from Kymron anymore and can't find them anywhere else - Couldn't I just install a spin on type right in the line just before the existing filter? This is the easiest place to install one it seems. I would leave the old filter out if it does not have a RV.

Kymron says they change the fluid in all machines.

The manual says to replace the filter at 50 hours(I am at 37 now), and every 500 hours after that. It says the fluid is not due to be changed until 1,000 hours. You think I should go ahead and change the fluid? I asked for them to send me a link for the hydraulic filter - they said they...

I just ordered another hydraulic filter from Kymron, and it came with one replacement for the 50hr service.

I am almost at 40 hours now! Yeah it's not to hard to work in cold weather as this machine keeps me somewhat warm sitting on top of the engine! My land is a south facing slope with few trees which also helps keep me productive. The filter is only 2 1/4" by 4 3/4". It is heavy for its size and...

Ok thanks for helping me understand. What is the advantage of the filter being after the cooler? Here is a picture of the Kymron filter which goes in the top of the tank -oil is forced through it to go back in the tank. The filter is screwed on and has a gasket to seal. I am coming on 50 hours...

That generator should handle your welder fine.

The problem is that most people have no idea how to figure out what's a good study and what's a corrupt study. The people who I referenced mostly understand what solid research is, and rely on it for their conclusions, which are often their life's work. Google is going to give you a bunch of BS.

The hydraulic cooler is mounted on the back of the radiator. The hydraulic return line comes out of the top left corner of the cooler - it goes though a 3/4" rubber line with hose clamps on either end - it dumps into the top of the hydraulic tank and the fluid goes though the drop in filter...

1. - I know that it has a filter inside of the hydraulic tank - It is under the plate on top of the tank. 2. Where would it be in the pilot controls you think? I have not located anything yet. Is the pilot controls the housing where all the lines come together in th picture? 3. How do I know...

Here is some pictures of the inside of the Kymron ZX22

The manual talks about a hydraulic filter insert that is replaced after 50 hours than every 500 hours after that. The manual states if you are doing hammer work hydraulic oil/filter need to be replaced sooner and indicates percentage. The manual says there is also a breather filter on the...

What is it that makes the wheel motors particularly vulnerable without filtration? Of all the machines I looked at I did not see any with filters on them, including the Kymron ZX22 - Sounds like this is is something I need to consider adding, space is really tight so it will be challenging.

There are two brands I know of, Kymron and Groundhog.

I asked Adam if there was a service manual and/or hydraulic/electric schematic and he said, "Yes unfortunately there are no Full Service manuals for any of our machines. The ZX22 has the best book of any machine we have. Some of the other models only have a very basic booklet." The manual is...

ok I will check it out today thanks.

I doubt it would blow it over unless you have a tornado or something crazy. Keeping the door closed will help by keeping the wind out(so it doesn't sail). If you want to put anchors in for peace of mind that's a good idea.

The machine was at first a little scary fast going downhill. I am sure it would flip right on its face if you slammed on the brakes - though the controls are very sensitive so it is quick to slow down safely if you want it to. It has a Parker main pump, and Eaton drive motors - this is all I...

Next time get the fluid changed at a shop.

Thank you, I will let you know - Is that from the owners manual or WSM? I will look into the different probable causes.

Well, I spoke to soon. We were able to upgrade last minute before the XH20 had been shipped. We got the Kymron ZX22(blue) delivered last Tuesday evening. So far I have put about 14 hours on it, uncovering my compost pile(that got buried by tons of topsoil), loading the compost into my dump...

Yes all other hydraulic functions are working properly.

Yes, I suspected that might be the case, I will take a closer look.

No it is not that either :/

My 3 point hitch randomly stopped working yesterday. The arms are all the way down and will not rise. I have tried turning the knob beside the seat, I have also checked the draft position lever. Everything else seems to be working normal. Any ideas what I should do next? I had been using the...

Your right, To get a true two speed from Kymron in the 20 series you have to buy a ZX22 which is $23,900($6,000 more). It weighs 2 tons as appose to 1.8, has a bigger Yanmar, taller tracks, extendable tracks, upgraded hydraulics, HD Piston 2 speed Encased Drive Motors, stronger buckets, thumb...

Careful, I just had planetary gear failure on my M7060 possibly from pushing the loader to much. I had been thinking about increasing loader capacity, now I know better.

I will be letting everyone know what I think about the machine. I only have about 10 hours experience on a excavator so it is going to take some time to get used to. I think your right on the 2 speed. Though I am not positive based on Rob's videos(K&R), there updating these things regularly. I...

Thanks, I am looking forward to getting the machine so much! I have a lot to do with it. It should be here next week. I did a lot of research to end up with the Kymron. I almost got a Groundhog but settled on Kymron as they are heavier. My wife said nothing used( bad prior expierences) She also...

I have averaged about 250 hours a year on mine for the two years I have owned it.

I am pulling the trigger on a Kymron XH20D today. Getting it with a 12" auger, 8" bucket, ripper, and 32" tilt bucket. Yes it is expensive but these Kymron machines seem like excellent quality. Hopefully in the long run it will be a great choice. KYMRON XH20D

I would wait for the excavator if possible.

You can retrofit a diesel pretty easily. I have run both and for a 2 wheel tractor it's great but not worth swapping a running gas engine for.

I have been wanting to add creep to my 8 speed as well. What would be really awesome is if you could add park!

Yes! Thank you everyone, this is why forums are so great!

Yes! that was it. Thank you.

That would be a big relief if that is all that is wrong.

Hey guys, hoping y'all can help so I can figure out next step. Something got messed up on the tractor when I cleaning up a down pine tree on my fence line. I think it is likely not going to get covered under warranty so I want to try and fix it myself. If there is significant(expensive) damage I...

I use mine all the time! Works great, and is aluminum so if I bend it bends right back. I only use it with the bucket.

You can probably get a stand a lone unit for pretty cheap used. With a Earth Tools coupler and a hitch dolly you can pull it around with the BCS, that is what I have done in the past and it worked really well.

How often are you going to swap implements in the winter when your splitting wood? Also, its so easy there is no comparison to swapping out 3 pt implements.

I can't imagine a a walk behind tractor without steering brakes or a differential locker, especially steering brakes! I wouldn't even consider it unless your ground is completely flat.

yes, Earth Tools: Walk-behind Tractors, Professional Garden Tools I would suggest either 749 or new hydrostatic model. I have a 853 which is great too but if I was to get a new one one I would upgrade to hydraulic clutch at least.

Won't hold a candle to a BCS.

Yeah I will, I have a heavy blade I use for counterweight.

Yeah it comes on one pallet and no I don't want to even ask that because I don't want to pay the freight for another pallet. I can ask a neighbor to lift if need be or prob get it loaded at whatever local dock it will be arriving at before delivery. There is not much risk here as far as it being...

Yeah there are couple bigger tractors around, that is a option. The pallet will have to get unloaded on the one lane gravel road in front of my property and carried up to the site from there.

That's why I am not going to drag it off the truck to the ground with the tractor loader if it can't pick it up. I think i could carefully drag it though into my truck somehow, the dump bed is much higher and lines up close to the trailer height.

Yeah I am thinking I will be able to manage it. In the past I have managed to get stuff off of trucks by dragging with the forks off the truck and than quickly lowering to the ground once it comes off the truck lol. I do not think I want to do this with a $10,000 pallet though. I was thinking...

I do have cast wheels and liquid ballast. I am not worried about the back end coming up on me I will be on level ground and I have not had problems with the back end lifting much. The pallet it will be on seems to be standard depth, but is 10' wide or so. I will have to confirm this.

I use a stove once or twice a day for the winter and it is our only source of heat, so no. I could be over estimating how often I scoop ash. I certainly don't try to get ash out when there are still hot coals. I wait till the stove is cold and I scoop with as LITTLE disturbance as possible. It...

That's the plan.

So many people talk about collecting the ash out of the stuff so often. I try to collect the ash as little as possible! The ash sends particulates floating all over every time you scoop them. I prob collect my ash once a month or so with daily fires. Lots of ash will bury the hot coals in the...

I am going to remove the hood on top of the baler. There are a couple plates underneath the hood that span across the baler and I can take those off too for access to the top of the plunger. I'll cut the plunger in half with a angle grinder if I have to but not ready for that yet..

I do not have housing for winter feeding. I am planning on continuing rotating them through the winter until ground is wet. The square bales would be fed on there front polywire line everyday. Since I am only feeding 2 or 3 cows so I think unrolling would be to much at a time.

Can you send me a PDF of the manual?

I am just getting back to this project. I am hoping to get it operating for winter so I can rebale round bales to feed my milk cows 1 at a time. I have disconnected the swingarm from the plunger and have been soaking around the plunger with PB.. It is very stuck. The baler is hooked to my truck...

no need to wait a month, with the disk you keep going over it until it smooths out. two weeks is long enough to let the ground sit before doing a final pass. As someone else said angle your disks aggressively till you get all the clumps broken, than you can straighten the disks to get a smoother...

That's what I meant. Don't bother haying it just cut and leave it for now. Another option is to tell the person haying it is to only take one cutting, that helps a lot.

Not worth it, your giving fertility away. You'd be better off cutting it yourself.

Not interested in the euro link, thanks.

There not scary at all, just keep your fingers away when raising implement, easy.

You can also add creep to the 8 speed, apparently it's pretty easy.

I wish mine was the 12 speed, not because of the extra gears. I wish I had the 12 speed because of the parking brake feature, for the increased hydraulic pressure. and it has the creep range which is really nice for hooking up to implements.. The 12 speed also has hydraulic brakes instead of...

forget about it you'll be in low. Possibly you could do it in medium if you have no load.

I am guessing you live on flat ground. These tractors are turtles working with loads on slopes.

At the least to do rotational grazing you need to be rotating your animals once every 5 days, and preferably once every 3 days. It is very easy to move a waterer as long as you have watering points spread out. Polywire and step in posts only take 10 minutes to move. The main reason you have to...

What makes you think they may be fraud?
