They arrive crated. At least that's what I saw at Kioti dealer

Yep. Pull the pins, swing them way out, and you can back up to implement easier. Then you use them to adjust where you want the implement to ride left-right, whether that's centered or offset to one side. You will get tons of opinions on how "tight" to pin them to restrict side-to-side...

I guess I'm too late, but i did mine at 50 hrs and it was a waste of $. In my LS, when I switched from whatever hyd fluid they used to Kubota SUDT2 I immediately noticed a decrease in HST whine and my loader felt a little less "jerky" (although that could have been purely psychological, but the...

I don't think there IS factory oil. The dealer adds it and they choose what to use. Deere or Kubota is going to use their stuff, but Kioti & LS - and maybe many others - whatever the dealer stocks is what gets used. If it meets spec, that's it. So you'd have to ask your dealer what he filled...

I have about a 1200 sq ft area that's dirt with thin layer of pea gravel I want to keep clear of grass/weeds. I do regular glyphosate concentrate but stuff grows right back. RM43 would be just once a year & nothing grows back in that area? Or is something else better for that? I don't care...

That makes sense now. I get it & see what I was doing wrong. Wanna see how I tore up my tiller next? :)

I should replace arrow #1 or #2 or either with chain? If #2 I can picture that in my mind and looks like it would solve my problem. If #1, that's where I get confused since no matter how I set the BH down - on 4x4, on blocks, whatever, I have to adjust toplink to either attach or get the level...

Those pics are the yoke replaced with chains, not the toplink replaced with a chain. Am I misunderstanding?

I sold mine. It was a typical skid steer rock bucket, 72". Don't get one of those unless you really have a strong loader. Mine was great for hauling brush, tree limbs. Could really pile a lot. Absolutely would not separate rocks from dirt though which was primary reason i wanted it...

So I fixed it after work today and got to looking at it & just don't see how to use a chain in place of toplink????? How do you adjust the front-to-back angle? Or do you run the toplink in and just use a section of chain from it to the bush hog? Almost seems like you'd have to jack up the...

Nope, have flex link. And it's in straight line on flat level ground so it can swivel. I'm not installing the flex link in a bind. I have an area with a short but steep bank. Maybe 3' elevation change. Crossing that might be the issue - or coming down off it. Will pay attention there next...

Yes greased. Will have to get a pic. It's like the fork was smashed straight down from the top. Wheel spins freely, shaft pivots freely.

OK.....I'm doing something wrong.....way wrong.....and about to install my 3rd tail wheel fork on a 6' Bush Hog BH6 that's almost 3 yrs old. I figured the first one was due to the hydraulic top link failing, leaking down before I noticed, and i was just loading it up too much. But most of last...

I picked up an older ZTrack front mower and that is what it specs for the hydraulic oil. Not Hy-Gard, not 303, not something I'd typically use for hydraulic oil. So just plain old 10W40 oil in there? I'm changing hyd oil & filter. Mower has about 2k hrs on it - straight plain dino oil...

Dealing with the coyotes in hopes to get deer & turkey back on my land. Used to be all over the place - groups of 30+ turkey almost daily, frequent visits by deer. They may have just found greener pastures and just coincidental, but I noticed fewer and fewer until almost none deer & turkey...
