Good afternoon, on first instincts, the notion sounds silly, but here is my line of thinking. On my kid's farm in Rustenburg, South Africa, the farm is densely wooded with little grass as fodder. So, with the TLB, when pushing over some trees or digging them out with the homemade ripper, it is a...

This is something I have needed for a while, a brush cutter that allows me to reach over edges, between trees and junk and up onto slopes. I have lots of trees, junk and sloped land and a simple bush hog on the back of my tractor can only get about 75% of what I need to cut. I had plans on...

Need to get my L3940 (about 3400 lbs) with FEL and lightweight 5ft cutter from OK to CO. Looking for technical guidance or a hauling company recommendation. If DIY, what length and width trailer would I need, what lb axles, electric brakes? Straps or chains for securing load? I have a tow...

I picked up a Farm Pro 2425 a few years ago in need of repair that came with a rear snowblower attachment. I live on the east coast of Newfoundland, our winters consist of predominately wet snow fall with high winds. I liked the snowblower, but not the open cockpit! I decided to attempt making...

I need a level indicator for my bucket attached pallet forks. I need to know if the forks are level in any position the forks are relative to the ground.

The hydro oil in my 2019 tractor remains so clear and clean, that I almost can't see it on the heavily-hashed dipstick on my 3033r. I see some run hydro oil (probaby ATF) with red dye in it, and I'm wondering, does anyone put some dye in their own hydro oil to make visibility at least a little...

I have enjoyed using my side discharge as the world's greatest leaf blower, but I am tired of having it shoot junk out all the time. It necessitates a lot of turns to avoid showering the house with debris, for example. I started looking for factory chute blockers, and it looks like either they...

I'm negotiating on what's likely a rescue from the salvage yard, if I don't buy it. Among other things, it needs a full set of hosed for the FEL. I *might* be able to get it cheap enough to justify paying a hose shop to make up the hoses, but for the same or less money I can buy 'AmaBay' hose &...

We have a 60x40 hoop building in NW PA. It is 19 years old and sustained some damage in a storm recently. I contacted the mfg who put me in touch with a local installer who quoted me a price of 17.5k, 17 for a new cover and .5 for repairing the end. I’ve contacted a couple other suppliers and...

DIY telescopic log loader tractor Hi, surfing the net I came across this ingenious farmer who transformed his same into a telescopic crane with a claw to lift logs. He broke the telescopic jib of an old Atlas crane and mounted it on the loader of his same. What do you think of this DIY setup...

Earlier this year I needed to dig a small trench to bury some drain line. It was more than I wanted to shovel so I built this small ripper. I intended it to be a "quick and dirty" job but as it goes so often, I liked the results so well that I want to rebuild the device Steve Austin style...

I’ve gotten some great tips from Gerauld on his snowcat build and was encouraged to share my build. I’m not an engineer, professional welder, fabricator, machinist, or perfectionist. I’m a Nordic and backcountry skier who likes snowcats and has owned many in the past. I decided to build my own...

Hey all! You do not have to purchase any special tools or pay a shop to install these difficult to install seals. Here is an easy DIY I found and had my mechanic watch it and perform the procedure. It does seem easier if the vice jaws are smaller. I think the best twine/rope to use is a smooth...

Hi Folks, Have owned a 2216 with less than 90 hours on it for a few years now. Unfortunately, it does not have the ML104 loader. I have found a loader but it is missing the lower subframe for the rear mounts and the controls. I can buy the controls but look like I need to fabricate the...

Hey everyone, I’ve got some uneven concrete slabs on my driveway and patio that have become a bit of a tripping hazard. I’ve been looking into concrete leveling options but wanted to get some advice before deciding how to proceed. I’ve seen DIY solutions like self-leveling compounds and...

Suggerimenti per cancelli di recinzione fai da te ciao dovrei costruire un cancello una barriera per chiudere l'ingresso del mio terreno. Attualmente lo stesso è chiuso con pali e rete metallica. Dovrei ripristinare la rampa di ingresso con un escavatore o una pala meccanica ma un passo alla...

New tractor owner here, picked up a well maintained Satoh Buck with a front end loader for spreading gravel and mulch and other projects for my ~1 acre property. Question about semi-DIY ROPS. First of all, I know that what I'm suggesting here will not be rated, is not as safe as a true ROPS...

Save $8000 and build your own tractor cab. I built this for about $500.00. I have a new L2502 Kubota. Here in Canada the cab is $8000 so I built my own for $500. It is a very function strong cab if I do say so myself. DIY tractor cab.

Greetings. At the beginning of the summer I started building a garden tractor. His task was to mow the lawn, the result exceeded all my expectations, so I decided to do 4x4.

My wife and I would love one. The retail ones I’ve seen can run six thousand or so delivered/installed. Anyone tackled this themselves or used a good kit?

I built myself a trailer for my Woodland Mills sawmill. I am a novice welder, but I can make metal stick together. Here is my finished product and a YT link to my videos if anyone is interested. Now the next project is to get my mill put together and installed on the trailer. Trailer build...

I have a 2007 T7 with a Kubota diesel. I bought this from a rental center, so a few issue's with it, not bad. First thing I replaced the old tie rod ends with heim joints I had laying around. These didn't have a zerk fitting, I turned the inside 90 deg then drilled and tapped 1/4-28. You can buy...

Don't see any reason this shouldn't work. It's made to pretty much the same dimensions as the original tires. I've already got one welded up, gonna do the other one next and try it out after I get some new tines on it. I've seen countless videos of small hand tractors and tillers from india and...

I have an old B. F. Barnes lathe that was probably made in the late 1890s and certainly no later than 1906. I have been acquiring age appropriate stuff to go along with it, stuff that was made no later than 1906. The lathe itself is in very good shape, not just cosmetically but also...

Just wondering if there are any diy mechanical thumb plans available for my 354 chinick tractor with a lw8 backhoe? I’ve found some kits on Ann but they are a weld together type so I thought I might as well just fab one up myself if possible, scrap metal being available locally.

So I found an old set of pallet forks on our property. I removed the mounting brackets (allis-chalmers) on them, and added a quick-attach bracket. The left fork adjusts in/out to change the spacing between the two forks. The problem is that the sliding is really rough in some spots and loose in...

Howdy y'all, figured I'd post my experience with the DIY installation of the Kioti rear wiper kit for the DK/SE series tractors (kit number DKA141), in my case, on a DK5310SE cab model. Hope this helps others that decide to add it themselves. Overall, not difficult if you have basic tools, 2...

Here’s a fun video:

A couple weeks ago I built rear 3 point control and got good feedback. This week I want to show you another if you want to look: It's a "trailer" that I can use to take with me on trips with the regular trailer. I also can use it to unload the truck in seconds. It also works to keep logs out...

About this time last year, I was minalizing my plans to build an outdoor kitchen pavilion. It would have needed about $1700 in lumber. a week before I was going to start, that number became $5G. And then climbed from there. MrsKilroyJC has decided we need to get some chickens. She spotted...

Hey guys, I’m rebuilding a Mott 60 flail mower I picked up for $200. I’ve priced out the parts I need and it’ll run me around $650. The bearings and housings are almost $160 per side. Ive cleaned everything up as best I can. My concern is on the cuttershaft ends. One side looks good but the...

I have a nice solid tandem trailer, but they built it using axles without flanges. I am handy with welder, wondering if I could weld on a set of flanges. The trailer shop I took it too said the weld on flanges they had would not work, not sure why. I assume they just were not comfortable doing...

Hello everyone, This forum has been a great help in the past so I thought it might be a good place to pose this question. I have a pretty good front end loader already, and I need to mount it to my Kubota l3400… I need to make the mount's myself for a few reasons. The genuine ones are...
