    MF240 Hydraulic Question

    It was just hanging there with a quick connect that would have powered the backhoe. The system would have worked great with the backhoe, but when it was removed it became nearly inoperable and you are correct, major pump damage would have occurred had I not remedied the problem.

    MF240 Hydraulic Question

    That is how it was plumbed when the previous owner had it. The beyond port went to a backhoe at that time. That owner didn't sell me the backhoe attachment so the beyond hose was just still on the tractor in that pic. Yes, it had that center sleeve, but I was able to plug it and cut it off...

    MF240 Hydraulic Question

    OK, I got it figured out thanks to the breakdown drawing here. This particular loader valve has the ability to be run on either open or closed center hydraulic systems. If you look at the drawing, there are three options. Open, Closed, and Beyond. It makes a difference which insert is used in...

    MF240 Hydraulic Question

    I might have to plumb it like the loader on my 231.

    MF240 Hydraulic Question

    Yeah, it seems to not be flowing back through the remotes. It's deadheading there. The control valve on the loader is fine.

    MF240 Hydraulic Question

    I just purchased a 4wd MF240 with a front end loader on it. Apparently it has remotes for a closed hydraulic system which the loader is quick connected to because when the remote is engaged to provide flow to the loader the hydraulics "deadhead" and the engine loads bad and brings the rpm way...

    Davco vs Diamond Mower

    At one time I had a cutter that would have worked on the rear of your backhoe. Sold it a few years back though.

    Before and After Pics

    Here are a couple of pics from a recent job. They show before, during and after stages of grading a new parking lot from two different angles. I will take more pics after the curbing is installed and the asphalt is laid. Then I will try to get some pics of the finished lot after landscaping...

    Need a pic of Burning Piles

    I better stay south of the border for burning. I'm not familiar enough with NC's guidelines. I am a certified prescribed fire manager in SC which gives me increased liability protection, but I wouldn't be afforded the same liability protection in NC. Here are a couple more pics.

    Need a pic of Burning Piles

    Colby, Here are a few pics for you. I burned a large tract today and took a few pics. Only saw one snake, a wounded wood cock, and some old deer bones in the woods. I got some good video footage also. I might put some up on youtube later.
