New 5065e

Thanks but I have a question. My torque wrench has a max torque of 200 ft lbs (first tractor). Don't have air impact wrench or power at my property. Do I just get a manual (non-air) torque wrench that has longer handle and goes to 400 ft lbs?

Plus, with the deep insets (nut may be 10 inches inset from plane of tire) on wheels, you won't be able to apply torque with a 1 handle wrench because the offset will make the socket roll off the nut. Is this wheel torquing exercise only possible with an air impact wrench?

How much did you pay for the tractor and equipment?

A set of inch drive sockets with a one foot extension is the way to go if you don't have impact/air wrench setup. The ratchet for those usually has about a 30" long handle and the sockets are six sided not twelve point and will stay on the nut. Hold the ratchet head in line so the handle stays square to the rim when applying force. A one inch drive torque wrench would also have a long handle but isn't cheap.
Not having one of those at hand I just put my 240 pounds bearing down on the thirty inch handle of that ratchet and get them gud,n,tight.

Congratulations. Interested to know how it goes for you.


Just saw one of these on Friday and liked the dealer. Was originally thinking of a Kioti RX6010, but all the dealers in the area are non-responsive. I guess that also means when there is a problem to expect the same.

Similar situation, 100 acres on a mountain in NH. Want to clear land for animals, house in 10 years and to improve the grouse habitat. I don't have a 10x10 area that is flat or free of granite.

Thanks for advice. Let me clarify: the 12 inch extension is to accommodate the inset dish and allow force to be applied perpindicular to wrench so you don't try to round off nut head. Also are the nuts metric or English ?

Correct on the purpose of the extension. The rim bolts on mine are English but much or the tractor is metric so you better buy a set with both. The owners manual gives values for both unified inch and metric but I see no table of what is used where.

I did see M16 and M20s called out in 553 manual for loader frame so I know it's metric but the tractor manual does not specify size of wheel nuts like you said . Man, what a pain if you need both? I have both up through 1/2 inch drive but this tractor is heavier duty than anything I have owned!

 

[vtsnowedin]

It is a pain to have both sets of sizes but in the larger drive sizes you will never wear them out and only other tractor owners will want to borrow them so they should last you forever. A few tools, oil filter wrench, grease gun, socket set etc. are not that much to take care of a $30K tractor properly.
