And just like that I had a moment of clarity. I don't have to cut the links off, I can open the cross chain connectors and move them to the next link. Should be no harm no foul letting one link on each side be loose and if needed I'll safety wire them in place.

No I don't. This style chain is designed to have some slack so they self center. Thinking it might help with the fronts I have tried using the rubber tarp straps to pull them tight. In this case it didn't work as it would allow the chains to get off center more easily which results in the...

I have the OFS EKO 8 front chains. My front tire size is 10-16.5, OFA uses the same chains for this size and also 12-16.5. Unlike the rears I can't find any instructions indicated these should be modified for the 10-16.5 tires. However, I have tried to run them as is without success. 2...

I can't ID that particular plow but suspect someone will be able to. After looking at many 9 shank chisel plows I don't recall seeing one with that specific hitch design. The outboard gauge wheels and 2 bar design as opposed to 3 bar should also help with the ID.

I live in NY with soil primarily consisting of clay and rock, so pretty much polar opposite of what you appear to have so my experience may not mean much. However, I have found primary/initial tillage or any tillage dealing with more than minimal trash requires a tool with both vertical and...

Another alternative is: Woodward Crossing 3pt Toolbar I think Jeff set one of these up with S-tines a number of years ago in the single tool bar configuration. Depending on your exact needs you probably can replicate this setup for less cost but on the other hand it is nice sometimes to buy the...

I am always up for learning and appreciate your response Scotty. Perhaps the more knowledgeable posters can help out here. Item 090 in the L4240 parts diagram below, "Assy pump, fuel". In my paperwork from the repair it is listed as a vacuum lift pump, if not powered by vacuum I am...

There absolutely is a lift pump on the 4240, not sure about all the other 40 series. It is vacuum operated not electrical as speculated earlier in the thread. I know this because mine failed just before the warranty was up but the issue was misdiagnosed by the dealership which led to a multi...

OP, much like you I had been on the fence for years about getting a chipper. Like so many others my only experience was with the small 3" self powered units which left me completely frustrated. I never actively looked for a unit but would see deals come and go from time to time but never the...

Seems strange after the maintenance but I would follow Jerry's advice. Don't be like me... Saga is posted on here many years ago. Short version was my lift pump failed quite early in the life of my L4240. Was misdiagnosed as "air in the lines", then the dealer just started cracking fuel...

On the topic of mowing with loaders... While the loader does add weight to the overall package and might help offset the mower I find my setup feels more stable with the loader removed. I have a Kubota L4240 with loaded tires, so around 5200lbs give or take without the loader and a Del Morino...

Gravity, it is always the gravity that tips them over ;)

A direct fit would be highly unlikely. The Kubota systems are typically 2 general pieces, the plow blade which includes the angle function(manual or hydraulic) and female receiver part of the hitch. 2nd part mounts to the tractor and has the lift function. The tractor portion of the hitch...

Do keep in mind most areas on the east end of Lake Ontario can measure a good percentage of snowfall events in feet not inches. If a plow is the only option, they have to plow with the storm or risk being overwhelmed. On the flip side ice/freezing rain is rarely an issue. For your situation...

I have a Kubota L4240, per Tractor Data the Branson 4225H specs out very similar. I have a FX85 that I have used a fair bit behind my tractor and also my brothers larger M7040. The FX85 seems to be a good fit with the L4240. I would think the larger FX110 could easily overpower your tractor...
