nice work on it. I did very similar thing with an ammo can about 5 years ago and I have loved it. I didn't put drain holes in and things stay very dry in the box but I also don't put things in there wet. not the best picture but you can see it down by the right side.

I made one a couple years ago. find the size bore you want and the stroke length you desire then weld extensions on to the length you need to make it work. important that you have enough of an extension that the cylinder doesn't bind against where it connects to the tractor.

Did this a couple years ago but I was inactive at the time. Thought I would share the final outcome. Tank is a scrap aluminum gas tank from a military surplus truck.

I'm back after breaking the "tractor by net addiction" for 3 years.

Gents, I am parting with my 3pt PTO snow blower this year in favor of my new front mount on my x749. anyone who is interested in purchasing let me know. It is 74" wide and built like a tank. I have the manual rotator and deflector bolts if someone does not have the hydraulics to run the...

Here we are hooked to the house for a power outage

Anyone have experience with Kanlan Attachments. Looks to be a good Canadian company making well made green, orange, and red stuff. Welcome to KANLAN Attachments

The only real way to keep them from not only the element but from the sun is to use a shed. The draw back to the shed is then you have to maintain the the shed and incur the cost of building it. I personally built my shed so that I didn't have to look at them all laying around. I built...

Here is my main bench for working on the tractors and fabricating. 1/2" plate steel.

I bought the Genny last year and made most of the carrier last year but waited a year to paint it. I have finally learned to not be to quick to paint because I often want to modify things after I try them out. Genny is Voltmaster 12k.

I have had my problems with getting yellow to cover as well. Here is a picture of nozzle problems with the Valspar. I was just painting along today and "bam" paint everywhere in my hand. The other issue I have with Valspar is that is is not as glossy and you end up with flat unblended...

Here you go. Hope this helps. I wish they where secured a little better like some others I have seen that have the fittings at the end going through a metal bracket that doesn't allow it to bend. Overall i like it better than the kits that just zip tie to the loader hoses.

Piston, not sure if you guys have had any luck but I prefer just running front tire chains and I really wanted the Aqualine MPC chains for the font tires but was told they don't make them in that small a size. Anyone else have luck finding them for the front tires?

Here is my my old Farm King (Buhler). I think it is somewhere in the range of 20 years old but is a tank and the technology hasn't really changed. I found this one on CL 4 years ago and added the hydraulic chute rotator and deflectors. with the thickness of the metal on these things, I...

Just picked up a new Woods Brush Bull 60. I won't be using it anymore this year since the snow is ready to fly but I couldn't pass up the deal since the dealer was looking to get rid of 2013 inventory. I won't miss my old light duty Howse flying apart all the time.

Gentlemen, I found a nicely restored 1965 Round Fender 110 close to me on CL. Looks like a great restore and I have always wanted one. I am just not sure what they are worth. I think it is missing the deck. What should I be looking for? Was there different options in 1965 or just a...

I just bought this one for my new rebuilt trailer and I only paid $30 from Amazon, plus free shipping and no tax................Boom! love Amazon.

Here is the one I made 2 years ago. It works for me because I only split about 2 cords a year and it is usually from some dead fallen tree in my woods on the side of a hill. I like being able to maneuver through the woods and back right up to my wood then use the top and tilt to keep it all...

Gentlemen, can some tell me if there is just a 5/16" lever/over center load binder? All I can find is 1/4" or 3/8". Both will work with 5/16" chain but I was hoping to find 5/16" because the others seem a little small or big.

Anyone that use to have an X700 Ultimate vintage 2006-2012 trade in for a new 2013 X700 series? If so what are the noticeable differences after using it?

So, I am sick of borrowing trailers or not having one when I need it and I have been scouting for a decent used tandem to haul stuff. The problem is that not many people ever part with these things. I eventually seen something that looked my speed on CL and went to have a look. Needless to...

48" across is perfect but I don't want to mount it to a 3pt. I don't want to buy 1k dollar 3pt just to use this once a year. I have my larger tractor for the 3pt work but in most yards a large tractor does more damage than good. I was thinking of making my own if i just knew where a guy...

I made my own and Brian gave me advice, which I thought was really stand up of him. I think I saved about half the cost of buying it but when factoring in the time and messing around with running to the store etc. i was maybe a 1/3 savings. I just like to make my own custom stuff. I...

Fellas, I need some help, without getting into the discussion about which tires should have chains if at all and what type of tires I have. I am trying to get some new chains for the front tires of my 3520 with R4s. I currently have standard ladder chains and they just tear up the...

I went to flailmaster online but I didn't see much of a website. I hear they are great to work with. I would be interested to see what a new roller and roller bearings would cost. I have some great ideas to fab this thing up. I like to add hydraulic actuators to everything and a trash...

Down to about an inch. The picture is of a freshly mowed landscape. I mean no disrespect because they are a great country. My Polish buddies and I had a good laugh about it all when I tried to explain how we spend so much time cutting our lawns every week. Like Don said, different is...

Gentlemen, my buddy has a used 6' 907 flail sitting behind his shed and I was going to see if he wanted to sell it. I hooked it up the other day and greased everything and siliconed the belt, plus looked everything over since it hadn't been run in years. It is starting to rust pretty good...

Ok, I just got back from a work trip to Poland. Very nice country that is very westernized and they love the USA. However, they have the strangest approach to lawn care. In the entire 4 weeks I spent there this spring I didn't see one "regular" lawnmower. What they do is let the grass...

I probably mow every 5 days with the amount of rain we are having and by then I end up cutting 5inch grass down to 3.5 inches. The main issue is that I have found the mulching kit doesn't produce enough lift to do a good job pulling up the grass ran over by the front tires. I stopped at the...

Gentlemen, I have had my new 2012 X749 with 54C deck for 3 months now and I notice that I was very disappointed with the quality of the cut. Mainly because the deck didn't seem to be producing enough lift to pull up the grass that the front tires pushed down. So the lawn just looked terrible...

Well I picked up the new machine last weekend. I had previously inked a deal for an X749 with a different dealer but they tried to trade for one and after trying found out that there was only 2 new ones left in the entire country still for sale. The dealership that had them knew what they had...

I just bought a new stihl 130 trimmer with a bicycle hand for clearing brush but would like to buy the 130r throttle handle and hand grip to switch it out to a normal weed wacker because I only trim brush once a year. Seems like it would work with the right parts. Anybody else know of or do...

Anybody get a dealer quote on 2013 X739 yet?

I am getting sick of trying to mow with my 100 series JD on my hilly terrain. Mostly because I can never get traction. So I am looking at biting the bullet and getting a 2012 x749. With the rebates and financing it looks like a smokin deal. My favorite JD dealer shot me a price of $11000...

Here it is. They insisted that they trailer it to the shop but when I said that I would have to wait because I didn't want to be without my tractor they said, why don't we have the service guy do it at your house. I said swell. The service guy did mention that in all of the gaskets he has...

Just finished my Top and Tilt build. I did the remotes a couple years ago and finally finished the side link tilt cylinder which will round out the project. better late than never. Thanks to Brian at Fit Rite. Even though I wanted to build my own vs buy from him, he was still more than...

many guys use ammo boxes. cheap and easy, plus they are water tight. I used a standard 5.56 can and that fits my one chain plus a little room for some pins and stuff.

Dad got it all painted. Thought I should share the finished product.

I have a slightly older version that was already set up for hydraulic chute rotation and all I had to do was add a cylinder. I also modified the chute a bit and put on a hydraulic chute deflector with a spare cylinder I had. Great Idea with the pipe this is one of my biggest problems. could...

I am looking to convert my three point fertilizer spreader that I use for sand and salting in the winter from PTO powered to hydraulic powered so I can mount it on the loader. I figure it would be much faster to have a spreader as loader attachment that is easy on off vs the painful process...

I love these things even if they only get used a couple times a year. All the neighbors just look at me with a sad face when they see me do over an acre of leaves in 15 minutes and they are spending there entire weekend raking. I am looking forward to using the top and tilt this year to...

So I go to do the 400 hour service on my 3520 and the owners manual calls for a person to block the air intake and run the throttle all the way up to check the air restriction sensor. When you do this it should set off the air restriction indicator light on the dash to check to make sure the...

Anybody who has a top and tilt they have bought or made please tell me if they have a 4" or 6" stroke on the cylinder. It seems 4" is common but I'm wondering if 6" wouldn't be better if it fits?:rolleyes: I already built my top link and that works good but now I need to order the tilt...

Has anyone installed a 3rd function kit to the loader on their Bobcat tractor, hard lines from Bobcat. I have a JD 3520 but my dad neglected to take my advice about getting it installed when he ordered his new CT 335. If so how much was the kit and was it easy to install? :o

Here is the latest ballast box I just helped my dad make for his bobcat CT335. Fresh concrete and he said he is going to paint it black.

I thought I would post some images of the Hydraulic top link I made from a 9.75" x 2.5" cylinder I bought from surplus center for cheap. I figure I saved at least $200 dollars because I almost bought one but figured I couldn't live with myself after I spent all this money on welders and metal...

Not sure if it has been asked yet, but does anyone have the 12K/15KW surge Voltmaster PTO genny and what do you think. Also can anyone who already has a PTO genny let me know if you constantly have to adjust the throttle on the tractor when loads kick on and off? :thumbsup:

Does anyone own one of the new King Kutter rotary cutters with the domed top. I trashed out my very beat up 5' Howse the other day and was looking to try and fix it or look at buying another head ache or something new. Most of the brand names want ridiculous money for as much as I use it but...

one word of caution: I wouldn't buy one made for a skid steer as they tend to be much heavier and you will have a harder time pushing/turning. Many members on this site have converted old truck plows since they can be had for a much lower price than buying new. Just do a search on here and...

Guys I know it has been discussed before but with no resolve. I am doing the first Hydraulic/ transmission fluid change on my 3520 ehydro. The Machine comes from the factory with Low Vis HyGard but the owners manual gives you the option of using either dependent on temp. I live in...

Almost done, some stuff has already made its way in

Anybody do a transmission/hydraulic fluid change on their 3000 series tractors, specifically a 3520. JD dealer is asking $75 for a transmission sump filter. Also anybody use other less expensive hydraulic fluid besides the brand name JD stuff and have you had adverse affects.

Roof on.

Thought I would share my new implement shed build with you guys and gals. I wanted a place to put all the attachments, parts, and pieces to tractor and outdoor stuff that doesn't need to be kept above freezing in the winter. It will have two large bypass sliding doors. This way I can get...

I have the 3520 with the larger bucket. I wish I had the smaller one. For me it tends to just stick out to far on each side and becomes a PITA when manuvering in tite spaces. Also start thinking about ballast. I loaded the tires and put 1k pounds behind it when moving large bucketfulls...

Worked on shed to store tractor toys. The doors are all red oak from trees that where cleared to build the house and shop. I plan to side the shed with Oak as well. Question is, do I let it grey naturally or seal it with an outdoor stain?

My dog blew out her knee and needs CCL surgery. Most places are pricing it at $4k. Anybody have any experience with this? Apprently it is the most common injury for dogs. I could have really used that money for some tractor upgrades or attachement...........Man!

I just finished moding my older Farm King blower with a chute deflector, rotator, and a stand off for the hoses. I say older but not much has changed over the past 20 years on these things. I believe this is a 93' model I added the 4th and 5th function spool valves a couple months ago so...

Anyone have a PJ quick tilt trailer? Some pics and feedback would be appreciated.

Any body put wings on there snow plows? After market or homebuilt? I could use some pics and some advice as to if they are worth it. I've heard they can cause damage to the plow.

Snow is on its way and I had an old plow sitting around I bought for $100 3 years ago. I have gotten sick of the bucket and decied to finally do this thing. I redid everyting out of scrap metal and only reused the mold board. I really want to have no more than $500 in this thing.......you...

I'm sure this may have been brought up before but how many JD owners like the JD quick attach over the standard Skid Steer Quick Attach? I chose to stay with the JD for the following reasons. 1. Easy to see the hooks and is kind of centers itself as you hook in. 2. You don't have to reach...

Absolutely love the videos.......I get the sense that Everything attachments is committed to customer satisfaction and quality brand names. ---------------------- Stay Classy

Any body have feedback on Wild KAT attachments. It looks like decent enough stuff? The prices look really good. WILDKAT ATTACHMENTS by Mid-State Equipment --------------------- Stay Classy

Anyone use a rubber cutting edge on gravel and how flexible are they. Will they basically sqeegie down a paved driveway to the bare surface?

My friend lent me this bad boy from his prior buisness. It produces like 12,500 CFM at 180MPH. I use to dread the leaves falling but now I look forward to it. check out the attached link. 3 point hitch leaf and debris blower by Agrimetal - YouTube

guys, I am getting conflicting info from my research. can I use a cross over relief valve on a dual acting cylinder?

Thought I should post some pictures for everyone since I found it so helpful to look at everyone elses. I Installed a power beyond kit from JD for $350 and Have about $500 in the rest of it with the wolverine 2 spool valve. I opted to go with 1/4" fittings since I didn't need much flow. I...

I have been using ideas from this site for years and thought it was time to give back....not to mention a few people asked to see the projects. I taught myself how to weld this year. My first project was an extra spool valve off the power beyond and this splitter is my first real fab...

I bought the Prince Wolverine 2 spool valve Surplus Center - 2 SPOOL 8 GPM PRINCE MB21BB5C1 DA VALVE My plan is to add this valve to the tractor as may have done before for 4th and 5th functions through the power beyond. I have a JD 3520 that is open center and until now didn't understand...
