My NX6010

I did some more clearing for where a pavilion will go in.

I also cleared 30 feet of wind falls along my shoreline with 2920 more feet to go. This is going to be a hobby.

Finally got around to looking at the beach quality at the end of the day on Saturday.

Ann also got some seat time. From her experience with her work tractors, she thought she needed to set the throttle up to operate.

Eric, the Frontier BB looks good. How do you adjust working depth for the scarifiers? Each separately with a pin? Looks like the beam may have just two positions, either fully up or fully down, or can it be set in between, hydraulically?

The teeth have a manual provision for adjusting them up or down as you observed. In my short use so far I have not found any reason to manually set their height as my top link tilts the entire box fore and aft, thereby changing the scarifier depth relative to the ground. The most I've used the scarifiers is to hook one of them on a stump and try to lift the entire blade while driving either forward or backward in order to pop out root balls (which has worked on everything but oak tree taproots, and is a use that I consider a normal for a heavy-duty or commercial-grade box blade).

Also, the scarifiers themselves look as though they were plasma cut out of 80 or 100 series stock rather than forged.

After I knocked the snow off the box I found at my door this afternoon I realized that I received the Version I, Mark II, tilt cylinder from MIE! That was quick. A quick measurement of the lower clevis confirmed the 1" clearance I need to fit my NX6010.

MIE must be reading this thread because I forgot to call them and ask about stand-offs for mounting the anti-creep valve but two stand-offs were included in a bag. Thanks, MIE. Once everything warms up enough to touch, I'll chase it out to the tinkerage and see if I have all the bits I need to fiddle the check valve and banjos onto the new cylinder, fit the hoses and slide on a protective sleeve to keep it all neat and tidy.

I am looking forward to seeing this.

I have a farmer friend who was complaining because he has to turn the tractor himself at the end of the row instead of having the computer do it for him.

Who wants their Facebook time interrupted every time they get to the end of the row?

Did you know the thread pitch of the AMA kit is BSP 3/8-19?

I didn't until I realized that SAE-8 standoffs wouldn't work.

So I made a video where I reveal how to do it. Oh, and I meant to say of the first adaptor that JIC has the same thread pitch and size as SAE sizes up to SAE-16.

Here are the parts I got from my local Parker jobber.

PS: anybody need a stack of SAE-8 standoffs?

BSP = British Standard Pipe, just like NPT is National Pipe Thread (tapered) Not sure where you got "perpetual" from. If the threads are straight and they use sealing, I think it's called a BSPP thread.

What are the standard fittings on the Kioti loader/etc? My Kubota was a weird mix, I added an oil gauge and that was BSP... but the bucket pins were 1" and the hydraulic fittings were all NPT.

I'm curious to see if the JIC fitting + an o-ring will work. ORB fittings IIRC have a specific recessed area to make the o-ring seal happen, hopefully it will seal just as good without that.

Adding an o-ring to a JIC fitting is done all the time. The o-ring simply needs a chamfer to sit in, which in this case is exactly what an SAE-8 o-ring does.

I'm calling british standard parallel pipe (BSPP), british standard pipe perpetual (BSPP), my own hodgepodge of BSPP and NPTP.

I think it is pretty obvious what I meant. Be happy I spent the time and effort to cobble the bits together and freely share how to do it, so others can do it at a lower cost. Kioti uses NPT, JIC, German Metric, and BSPP.
