Is that an iceberg in the first picture between the truck and trailer?
Yep it sure is. We get a pile of them around here. Just in case you enjoyed seeing them here's a few more. This one was a mile long and 1/2 mile wide.

Here you go. I did a thread on it when I did the install. You should read it. All the info is there. I liked the system so much I put one in my truck as well.

I like the use of the multi colored zip ties-it makes it easy to plug in the right attachment hoses to the correct QCs. I use black and (NH) blue caps and plugs on my stuff when disconnected but that just insures the proper hydraulic in/out flow when connected, not the which set of QCs to go to per implement. I'm off to the color coded zip tie store!:thumbsup:Since my tire groover is still on its way to me, I'd have to say my best, most productive overall modification to the tractor is the added hydraulics. The three spool valve I added has opened the door to many more capabilities, like : top and tilt, remote rake swivel, snowblower chute rotation, tree shear (oops, havent built that one yet).
Pretty cute indeed! Any photos of the shovel attachment?
I think somewhere to stash the pitchfork and/or shovel is greatly needed. I also am impressed with the flashing parking brake light. Off to walmart...
Well, no wonder I don't notice the parking brake light-it seems I have an econo-model that's made without one-either that or it is very well hidden. My son seems to think this is an easy fix...anybody put one in from scratch and have pointers? I would even consider installing an irritating ding ding ding noise at this point. My response to having forgotten the brake several times, has been to start not using the parking brake when getting out to open gates or use the pitchfork. I'm sure this is not Kubota's intent, as the safety idea is to use the parking brake....The tractor is an m7040 (you know, the one with the red-hot, smoking brakes!).
Thx,

Cowdoc -Tatro grapple, WR Long 3rd function valve and toothbar for loader bucket. My EX3200 Cub Yanmar is a tree moving machine with these mods.
RonMar said:If you do much land clearing and work with wood/brush, a bucket grapple makes a big difference in how much you load in the bucket and saves a lot of off/on trips to load the bucket with a decent load by hand... Bucket forks in conjunction with this are even better. If I do any hand work i leave a pile. The grapple allows me almost always roll up and pick the entire pile...
Next to that a drawbar plate with welded on hooks to allow me to quickly attach a chain to the drawbar.
Like the tire sipping, I will have to look into that, as a little more traction would always be welcome![]()
