Hey All, As the title says, I'm looking for some recommendations for reliable and reasonable Dealers who we wished we had down the road. Unfortunately, my local dealer has gone through some major changes and I'm not very confident in them. Right now, I'm looking at needing some parts but...

Normally I was opening and closing them by hand. Every once in a while I would have to stomp on them to go into place but that only happened maybe twice in 8 years I've had the tractor.

I could get them welded and may end up doing this but I really don't like the overall design of the OEM part. I was hoping for an alternative like a single casted handle but I'm not sure the ones I've seen will work.

I'm looking for recommendations for the handle replacement of the bucket quick attach. I replaced one of the original handles with an OEM part but it had a pretty sorry weld job on it and it snapped off. So after taking a look at the other handle I found the weld on it to be cracked so now I've...

Thank you to everyone. There are a number of suggestions for me to look into and I'm sure I'll have this resolved quickly.

Thanks for the heads up regarding the contaminates. I ended up draining out a milky/creamy looking substance so I think I'm safe on that front. After I cleaned the system out I did add some Seafoam to the fuel since I think its more of a water issue. I'm still looking for a separator. Quick...

Hey all, I'm looking to keep from repeating a contaminated fuel issue I had experienced earlier this year and I've come here seeking wisdom. Background, at first the tractor started out running fine but began sputtering and eventually quit. I checked everthing out and noticed the fuel looked a...

I have a 2018 LS XG3025H and for some reason or another I'm getting water in my diesel fuel. I have changed the filter on the bulk tank but it seems water is still getting into the tank on the tractor. So what I'm looking for is a fuel filter bowl with a drain in the bottom. This way I can twist...

This isn't a bad idea. It seems to be a lot more flexible than dedicated connections just for the grapple.

You are correct regarding the "loop" connection. You make a good point for not using the log splitter valve. I'll look at picking up a single spool valve, fittings and hoses. I have a couple of questions, where would the placement of the spool valve be in the circuit? If I use a single spool...

*Cross Posted from LS Tractor* Hello, I have a 2018 XG3025H with FEL & backhoe. I just purchased a grapple for it and I need to plumb in the hydraulics for it. I was wondering if I can use the connections coming off the tractor that are used for my backhoe to control the grapple. Is this...

There are no rear remotes, (bad move on my part), but the backhoe is connected to a single, (pair) connection running under the seat. I do not have a splitter connected to the back of the tractor. I have a spare valve lying around and I thought I could use it in this situation.

Good afternoon all, I have a 2018 XG3025H with FEL & backhoe. I just purchased a grapple for it and I need to plumb in the hydraulics for it. I was wondering if I can use the connections from my backhoe to control the grapple. Is this connection to the backhoe considered the "power beyond"...

Hey All... not sure if this has been asked here before but I need some help. I have an 2018 XG3025H with a FEL and backhoe. I'm looking into possibly purchasing a grapple but the added cost of the a remote connection up front could put this project out of range. I was wondering if I could...

Sooo.. I've been looking for a small fuel "cell" to store more than 5 gals of diesel for my tractor and I am thinking about using a 250-300 gallon IBC tote. FYI, an IBC tote is a poly bulk fluid storage container sitting in a wire basket. Now keep in mind the basket is heavy duty, its got to...
