I asked my dealer about where they are most likely to fail and he told me they have not see one separate at the swivel joint but have had a few come in fractured between the joint and knuckle. This would make sense since the newer ones are much beefier in this area. Where exactly did yours...

Very doable. I'm an engineer and my son is a welder. Thanks.

They are loose at the ball joint not at the knuckle.

I was doing my seasonal maintenance on a 3 year old 3620H and found both tie rod ends are loose at the ball coupling. Tractor has 250 hours and I have been relatively careful about not overloading the front end, turning to the stops and not turning while the tractor is stationary but they are...

My recollection of the story was the county/city building dept. failed their inspection and would not issue a CO due to building code violations. Then the finger pointing started between the company and contractor eventually ending up where it still is today. I may have some of those detail...

That could be the truth but don’t fail to also take into consideration what would have happened if the new factory could have been completed and put into operation as originally planned. I recall that the whole reason for the new building was to reduce lead times from months to weeks or...

I completely agree that 10% down would have been a much more preferred way to make the purchase but......since that wasn't an option and I didn't want to buy another brand of grapple, I accepted the risk. Its perfectly fine if you would have made a different choice. At the time I made my...

I've followed these EA threads since they started and want to offer my rational for having spent the small premium on a Wicked Grapple and paying in full for a delivery that was 5 months out. Being a mechanical engineer I tend to evaluate things in detail. I determined that my 35HP tractor...

I'm on a large very wooded property that I have been slowly opening up. In the original post by Piston, he mentioned that some trees which were "very stable" required a little loosening around the roots. I also use a similar technique on 6"-10" dia. trees but have found some species have a...

My 2021 3620H needed a warranty water pump replacement at ~175 hrs. Was getting a leak from the weep hole at start up that would quit once it warmed up. Now have 210 hrs over 2 years and have been very satisfied with the performance.

My 3620H has had this same engine rattle since day 1 when I purchased new and currently have 200hrs with no change to sound. Ive also spent time searching for answers/explanations as to if it is "normal" and so far the answers have been very similar to the responses in this thread. The one...

My Go-TO-KILL-ANYTHING formula is 4 oz./gallon of Tractor Supply FarmWorks 53.8% Glyphosate and 1.5 oz./gallon Remedy Ultra. This combination takes care of just about anything on my private property in National forest.

I used a DirtDog subsoiler to rip out the roots in a new vegetable garden after the stump grinder finished his work on about 10 stumps. When you hook a large one that stops the tractor, lifting up on the 3-Point usually could bring them to the surface where you can hook them again in a...

You may want to move your lower bungee cord attachment point. A good wind and that tarp will pull the hitch pin clip on your upper link.
