when you need a ladder to fill 'r up, where you used to simply stand on the front axle drive shaft...

It suddenly dawned on me that I could use the standard hydraulics! The double action plugs (top right) straight to the ram for horizontal movements, and the tilt ram only really needs pressure to rise, reversing down can be done by gravity! So I connected the bottom side of that ram to the...

Oh I see, float is more that 4th position that regular 3position handels/controls do not have. Thanks for explaining!

Nevermind I asked chatgpt and understand now that 'float' is a valve that lets the ram free when not operated (following the terrain for example for height control of mower) and 'blocked' is holding the ram in place when not operated (like with arm of a digger) Thanks, this is how I learn :)

that is the core of my problem with hydraulics, total newbee. Don't even know what a float is

Thanks LouNY, electric controls do not give that feedback that mechanical valves/handels give, but your link did make me find this which might as well replace the existing (leaky) control handle and add an extra handle at same time ! GREAT https://www.ebay.com/itm/395624385173

I've just bought a restored 845 from 1980 and attaching a mower like shown in the photo. The standard (two way action) hydraulic ram connections, are not enough to attach a side-ways moving mower that can also pivot vertically. I need to add a second pair of connections and a lever but have no...

okay, that's not so bad at all 137bar! Have a look at this link if anytime you need any conversion between all kinds of measures even money, volumes, distances etc : https://www.convertworld.com/en/pressure/pound-per-square-inch.html

Thanks for that info Lens12, would you happen to know the pressure available by the Iseki pump? So according to metric standards it would produce even 25L/min.

Thanks for your quick reply Topsize, if indeed you mean us-gallons that means only 11 L/min can't be enough to power a hydraulic rotor. But then again also imperial-gallons at 14/min would not be enough. Good to be warned for that, I'll have to look into the PTO version and won't bother to...

Anybody knows what, where, how to add the external hydraulic line connectors on an Iseki TX1510? Would it be powerfull enough to activate a hydraulic rotor of a small (80cm) mower blade? I'm considering to add to my tractor this feature below, which is a fence pole mower. But I wonder is my...

Hi there, just to warn and to inspire others; I had added twinwheels to the rear about 8 years ago to not get stuck in the mudd and prevent rolling over(rops). Now I live at another place in Southern France with hard clay grounds and short steep hills and pits. So last week one of my frontwheels...

Any news on this challenge ???

*** UPDATE *** After weeks monitoring oilpressure I was convinced it was always above 2 bar pressure, even on low revs and very very hot. I put back the original pressure switch and at first things looked okay, until I had some really challenging mowing to do and there the light came on again...

Yes this is indeed the place the manual indicates and I had looked already several times. Now I took another effort in discovering it and INDEED THERE IT IS !!! It is only visible when the light is at an angle and taking a photo of it, is nearly impossible :) Would have been nice if "1850" (it...

So the big question remains : have you started cutting her in two already ???? :)

Thanks for that nice background info, it indeed confirms the use of the K3B engine in Iseki TX1510F as in my case. Also great to see the confirmation the TX2160 is as good as the same tractor, mostly sold in France and differs mostly from the Tx1500-series in wheelsizes ? At least that's what I...

K3B 0.849L is the number I found on my engine on the side (not near injection pump like pdf describes, but I can't look now. Just reinstalled cover plate and lots of work to do). Thanks for the PDFs

For those of you looking ahead for information before starting this type of maintenance, every 400h, here's my experience; Access to the adjusters is really easy, although it helps to also unwind the rubbers of the cylinderheadcover as if they were nuts, in stead of forcing them off. Next issue...

Here's another fun photo of an improvisation I made to pickup lost hay bails from the hill side that had 'escaped' into the steep sides of our terrain, before I bought a grabber. But this was on my excavator, it wouldn't help on a tractor's frontloader. :) Important lesson learned however is...

3 weeks later, done a lot of work and I can now safely remove the manometer and rely again on my oil pressure switch. All seems to be okay! When really hot, pressure drops to just over 2 bar but switch triggers only below 1 bar, so we're gooooood :)

Most importantly is to create a centre-tool before you take the old clutch off and which will garantee you can rebolt the new clutch exactly centrered. If this centering of the new clutch is done nicely, at least with attention to detail, the reassembly will go easily. If not, you might discover...

I hope this is my last update on the matter. AGAIN oil pressure light came on now even after 15min of only light work. Took down the front axel in order to remove carter. Inspected oil inlet filter (a spring lightly forced open acts like a filter!) and removed oilfilter and then finally the...

Thanks for reacting Leonard, you most likely did not read my post before the last one (#10) where I had already checked the real pressure against the light coming up with a pressure gauge, which indeed shows pressure falling away when hot and revs low :-( Today this already happened after just...

This may sound weird, but the pedal axel of the clutch runs INSIDE the axel of the left-break pedal. Cause my greaser of the clutch pedal axel was broken and axel jammed in mudd, these two rusted together during winterstop. Then at first start, I pushed in the clutch and the left break pedal...

These round bails come in different sizes and also depend on type of grass that was mowed. But for a general guidance the average 1M³ bail weighs 250 kG. See photos (FR) for reference, the trailer's interior size is 1M9 x 1M1 I used to push them off of the trailer by tilting it and then...

And we're back, with again oilpressure light coming on after some towing even on horizontal level and only right after rpm drops from around 1800tpm normal work speed back to stationairy at say 800tpm. Once lit, accelerating has no further effect, pressure keeps being close to none. So that...

I won't reply, I won't say anything, I've learned my lesson; don't speak of the war to Germans, don't speak of 911 to Americans

pasture might have been just a poor translation I found on internet, maybe I should have used meadow or grassland. It's all the same "field" to me. In dutch we don't have so much differences, the ground here in France is mostly clay-ish. But hey, what do I know, I'm not a farmer only a guy...

Yep that's a good tactic as well, it depends on the surface how much work it is. At our 7 hectares (17 acres) of terrain we needed a mechanised solution, because manually on a slope it is simply undoable and takes way too much of our time. We do change fields every week, so with 4 fields the...

Here's some more "fun with tractors" ;) Especially that tractor without engine in the front, keeps amazing me until today. We dealt with the stress of getting hay in before rain falls, repaired old machines in the scorching heat, felt just a little of what farmers feel every day. Respect for...

Thankyou, I doubted for a long time to keep on improvising or buy something used or new, but prices are unbelievably (unreasonably) high. In the end it was cheaper and much quicker to buy this piece of galvanised steel in the Netherlands and have it transported within a week(!) all the way down...

Did a bit of research on what to do with horse manure in our fields. Doing nothing means loss of grass and ugle stains in your terrain. Here's what I discovered: 1- Mowing it over with a flail mower distributes alright, but also takes away the grass you so much like to keep. 2- Picking it up...

Thanks TT for showing and sharing, for me likewise, it's strange to see and I did not know this fact! I wonder if this is 'official', looks like a ©opyright issue if it was a book :) What is a bit weird in the example above, is the choise for garden tires in combination with snowchains and...

Lowering the centre of gravity helps and now I added a tool with which flipping backwards is eliminated ! It comes with build-in turbo-boost and yet propulsion invisible for the naked eye...

That's a way of looking at it, buy hey! who cares? This forum is full of junk that has nothing to do with tractors, only if I reply on a 20y old conspiracy topic, I get corrected... pfff rubbish

That's why I don't want to have a John Deere tractor, they are notorious for this hahahahah

my browser says : Forums/General Tractor Topics Owning/Operating where is the part about cars? Unless Land Rovers are now allowed here, they at least have a tractor history at first, hahahah

Yes, throw your tractor at it quickly before it takes off....

I thought this was a tractor forum?

You didn't read my last line...

Thanks Jigs, for taking the time to describe and explain. I regret however that you do not react to any other of my other remarks. I saw an animation of what should have happened if a plain crahsed into a steel tower/concrete skyscraper and again this convinced me what a load of b.s. this whole...

Yep, you seem to know everything about it, so you're saying it was indeed controlled demolision and a pancake effect both at the same time. I only should not have written that I don't believe the pancake effect. Okay, the result is still the same. What I saw was not a raging fire and seen...

Well that's not totally voluntarily, but yeah internet is my friend these days hahahaha Just tried my new pasture tow, together with the follow-me option of my drone. Look at the speed my turbo drive gives me :

Greetings from southern France :cool:

With an old Massey-Ferguson (MF37 the French adapted version of MF35x) tractor from 1963 and machinery we repaired ourselves bought and given to us by local neighbours, this is how we did our own haymaking in Southern France begin 2002 in the Corrèze and for years to come! Until in 2008...

It certainly is still a daily workhorse, a sort of inbetween tractor-and-car; more mobile than a tractor and the winch is very handy for all kinds of purposes (like descending in a water well of 10m deep and then discovering the battery goes flat, what a laugh my wife and I had, but she managed...

Surprised? That's what you get if you believe the media circus and do not investigate yourself... I'm just an ordinairy guy, did not believe that an aluminium aircraft could penetrate a steel constructed sky scraper build to resist an impact like this and then make it come down like?? well ...

Thanks, it was a one-man show this restauration. Hence the time it took (apart from recovering from my accident and mostly picking up on my motivation after that). The weird collour before came from the car fleet of a company that had all its stuff in this colour. Therefor nobody wanted to buy...

You never knew building7 was demolished exactly the same way the twin towers collapsed? Well here's some info : It only caught fire and then it was decided "to pull" the building, something that costs months and months to prepare. Know that building7 housed CIA head quarters in specially...

Yes I'd wish that the politicians that "organised " throw-over of the twin towers, would have used an Inclinometer first so that it actually fell towards building7, in stead of raising only a small fire in it and having to demolish it, which then made it very clear proof of an inside job indeed...

Hi John, thanks for your reaction, I'm in the south of France now (Gers), but other vids on my channel are from the miditerranian side of France (Hérault) and before that center of France (Corrèze). Here life at the countryside is still the good life, a little bit like The Shire in LOTR :-)...

Well, now you can add to your repetoire "I've read and seen about tractors flipping sideways" :-) Photo and tractor below aren't mine, by the way, but follow the link and learn...

One of my biggest passions; wood cutting in our forrest and stocking it for the winter. It's good excersize, and in the best case firewood heats you up three times; cutting, stacking, burning :)

Totally have the same experience, but opposite; wearing glasses always now to stay on safe side cause without I'd underestimate details in terrain. Another thing is that if you're working on a slope for a long time it becomes so common, you don't realise that if you 'dive' into a pit you were...

That's why I called it a "simple" anti roll bar. It is only ment to stop one single event, but meanwhile I already banged into overhanging tree branches, lintels, etc and it (and me and Iseki) survived without damage. So very happy with it. A bit too high indeed, but who cares.

Yeah she's become a beauty indeed, after 3 years of restoring. She nearly took my toe off when the new chassis fell during rebuild, but hey life's a ***** ;-)

Be glad, it's your worst nightmare. I barely survived a sideways roll over before I had a ROPS cause I did not see a large pot hole in the grass. When I woke up, I looked up at the gearbox bottom of my Iseki ... The second slip in the mountains was when I entered wet grass that was hiding an...

recently had oil pressure fail when doing some heavy climbing on hill sides. Long story short; pressure switch okay, oil SAE30 ok, it hardly ever happens an oil pump fails and spares are hard to get. Measuring manufacturer's build tolerance is too specialistic to do. I now take the work I'm...

Max towed weight in general is ; do not tow more than 50% of tractor weight with a trailer without its own brake system, and tow to maximum the weight of your tractor with a trailer with brake system. BUT what I find very important is the traction you have in the terrain, cause with a tractor...

Thanks to MarcelPL I found it on my TX1510F too. It was so darkened by red diesel, but now it's great again to have an indicator ! (do not like I did: think half the level in the tube is half the tank... It's ¼ left, about 2½L to go)

1- twinwheels really help, 2- realise counter weights on the front compensate for instability when lifting stuff on the rear and moving about on slopes, 3- most importantly when towing : attachementpoint should horizontally lay below the rear axel !
