Thanks everyone. I have lived here two years. First year was shovel, bucket, and a heavy back blade. Next year was a 36" walk behind blower and the rear blade on a gravel driveway. This year I expanded the driveway and had it paved so I want to NOT dig holes in it like the back blade and bucket...

Though I've had tractors most of my life, I've never had or used a snow plow. I'd like to get a plow for my L3301 quick attach but also would like to use it on my pickup occasionally swapping back and forth rather easily. Is there an adaptor or way to do this without a bunch of...

I have no experience using a sickle bar mower first off. I have about 2000 ft of roadside ditch to cut back periodically during season. I will have to go below horizontal to cut it effectively. It’s weeds and grass. Probably cut it about knee high down to ground when I do cut it though it’s...

My Stihl Kombi system has the power head at the operator end. Then change attachments like pole saw, broom, weed eater, etc. it seems like I remember an extension piece that could be inserted to lengthen the reach but not 20 ft worth. More like 10-12’. It’s about 6’ long as is.

PTO switch still on since you were mowing?

Everything said her so far will work ( I dabble in hydraulic projects). 1. Hook up one hose and leave the other remote disconnected. At idle or even tractor off the down function flows through the pressure relief. This isn’t the best way but as said momentary down dumps won’t hurt it. 2. Best...

I was thinking a bilge type pump. You have the same guess as I. Some type of pump set in a tank and mixing. It’s frozen so I have to get it apart but will take some more pictures and post before I do. Why do I get the feeling that I’m about to go off into yet another rabbit hole! ….

I picked up an old water pump today but it’s not like any I’ve seen. Does anybody know where I could find out more about this pump? It has two wooden treadle type vanes that seem like they would “swish” the water as the handle is pumped from the mechanism kinda like duck’s feet and the inlet...

Well, I never thought I’d do it but there’ll be a new Ferris zero turn delivered here today. And it was expensive for a mower to me at 10k. I’m mowing about 5 acres. I’ve went through a few used ones to getting here. A time cutter, a couple of Dixie choppers, and a John Deere regular lawn...

I had that same exact setup. I couldn’t tell any difference with them in or out. There’s also a flap that slides down across the front when bagging that I did find to make a difference. It would have blowout when bagging if the flap was up. I mowed with it at 2”.

Yes this. I seem to find it stocked with the drawbars and top links rather than with the oils and grease in my local stores for some reason.

Also known on my place as a “Water line finder”

Pay close attention as the detent ball with the little balls that “detent” it. It’s a bit of a puzzle putting it all back together with the spring pushing on it.

It’s not the heat expansion per se. With the two hoses connected, the system has the same pressure so if the rod side or cylinder side has weight or build up of pressure on it, the pressure equalizes through the connection. Yes. Heat on the whole system raising pressure could cause this not to...
