    Fluid capacity for rear tire ballast

    After setting rear tires for maximum width I want to add liquid ballast since I need more stability on tractor. Rolled my previous tractor on slopes and don't want to repeat the same mistake. In order to determine how much fluid to buy is anyone aware of how to calculate the fluid capacity...

    Setting trade ties maximum width

    Watching a video of man widening his rears on a kubota. In this screen shot he has both tires off and back is up on a single bottle jack with nothing under either axle to support in case something bad happens. And then his toddler comes walking into view and walks up to the suspended rear. No...

    Setting trade ties maximum width

    Several months ago I rolled my tractor over and by the grace of God survived. Ended up having to buy a kubota mx5100 as a result. I would like to set rear tires to maximum width to hopefully prevent it from happening again. Tractor has loader which should help and will load rear tires once set...

    Best setting for maximum depth of post hole digger

    Yesterday a friend from work had to put his dog down and I volunteered the use of my post hole digger and farm to bury her at. I just bought my PHD and have practiced digging 2 holes with it and so I am still trying to learn the operation. My question is in which hole location should I attach...

    Post hole digger jury rigging

    I bought a used post hole digger and the old man got over on me. What can I say, I am a softie. A weld was broken because he used a grade 8 bolt instead ofa shear pin and so I ground it off and welded that. Gear box was empty and so filled that. One of the shields around the gear box is...

    does it matter which was rear rim is facing?

    Today I am attempting to replace the inner tubes on the rear tires on Mahindra 2810. Unfortunately, both stem placements on on the inward side of the rims, causing inflation to be not impossible, but I am thinking ahead in case I want to load my rear tires in the future. To do so would be a...

    Today I changed my transmission/hydraulic fluid for its scheduled maintenance. Proceeded to bush hog for about 30 minutes. After pulling it into the shed I noticed that there was fluid leaking from around the pto shaft. Well darn. What am I looking at folks as far as repairs? Major? Complicated...

    Looking at a used Mahindra 5510

    Found a 2014 Mahindra 5510 gear with a cab. Only 179 hours on it. Does anyone have any experience with a 5510 and if so what are your thoughts? I have a Mahindra 2810 year 2000 and I would like to get a more current year that will allow me to get parts and keep it running for the next 25 years...

    Please help identify inflow and outflow ports for remote install

    It appears that the plate previously down will be my return port location. I will need to install the port where the plug is shown on the top flared section. Shown now in these photos in a connection in a small hydraulic line coming back from my power assist steering pump. If I can find a T...

    Please help identify inflow and outflow ports for remote install

    Update on my attempt to add remotes. I went to a dealership and to make a long story short the diagram that I was using from my chassis manual went to a "new sheet metal" 2018 whereas I have an "old sheet metal" model. I have attached the new technical diagram that shows what I am dealing with...
