Just bought a used 3040 with 7.5' Montana branded back hoe on it. Does any one know who makes the back hoe for them? It looks like a Rhino, definitely not a Woods. The back hoe bucket is only 12" and I would like to get at least a 16". The tractor is 2008 model year, 350 hours pretty clean...

Here is what I was calling a semi Quick Detach from MIE.

Several years back, there was a post on this forum that detailed a tool that relieved the pressure build up in hydraulic hoses preventing reconnection. The manufacturer was a farm out west. I keep thinking it was Worth or Wirth Farm. It is the only tool they make and they sell it at farm and...

Both Northern and Dr offer a two way 3pt log splitter that is supposed to run on less than 11 gpm. Supposed to be super fast since there is no return. Has anyone used one and do they work as advertised? Ends up about $800+ with shipping.

Got a line on a MF 410 shuttle 70 hp with 1700 hours on it. It has a Canadian FEL and backhoe on it. The backhoe is hung off the Three point hitch, no frame mount. The Shuttle lever is broken but you can operate it thru floor boards until it gets fixed. Any ideas on what it is worth?

After 20 hrs on my new (last fall) 20 HST most of them snow blowing and driveway clearing, I decided to grease everything up for summer and danged if I didn't find a little bitty tool box under the floor boards on the left side. Just big enough for a few pins and clips/ I have been wondering...

I read in several posts not to use starting ether with Kioti diesels. What is the harm? I am not being facetious here, I really want to know. I had an old Chinese 24 hp diesel and I used ether in with no apparant trouble. The heavy construction guys seem to use ether all the time. My Kioti...

My Kioti 20hst with Fel and 2465 backhoe is light (real light) in the front end when going up short steep hills. I am thinking of putting 62 pounds of foam in each front tire. Will this affect the front end wear and tear? Will I still be able to drive it a top speed (8 mph) on the road? Will...
