Looks good. What backhoe will this be used on? What’s the purpose of the circles cut out?

I’m not certain about lifting the tree but what about a wide tow strap. could you wrap it around the trunk multiple times to distribute the stress and then try lifting a little?

Is that including tariffs? When did you get that quote/price?

This is a good point… the kubota sub frame distributes the load to the loader mounts on the front of the tractor transferring the stress around to multiple points and not only on the back end of the tractor. It’s not only the weight of the backhoe on the 3 pt. to consider it’s the dynamic load...

JraBras and makes a good point above. A landscape rake could be aggressive if you don’t have the wheels to adjust / limit the depth of the tines

Have you thought about a light weight version of a York landscape take with guide wheels? York rakes can be very expensive but there are clones available

check if mahindra offers a backhoe and if so how does it attach? It will probably cost more than a third party bh but if the subframe is a 4pt mount you will be ahead IMO. kubota and nh subframes have 2 pts on each side...4 pt total. The kubota is easy to mount / dismount in 5 or 10 minutes when...

Similar to the above comment, I managed to bind some small piece of wood between the blade and housing that caused one blade to stop rotating and throw it off balance. Was a pita to remove that piece of wood.

I’ve read that two fences one high the other short interferes with the deers lack of depth perception and ability to jump. I don’t recall the spacing or the height of the short fence right now. I haven’t tried it but need to do something around the garden

Inkjets heads and ink dry out when not used and the bills I recieve that use an inkjet smudge if they get wet

Nice. What brand of camera do you have? You can change what color is hot or cold? Is the second to last photo the moon? At first I was surprised to see the truck tires as white/hot until I thought a little more that they’d warm up as you drive.

Is the gear selector and pedal in neutral? Does pedal need adjustment?

I do something similar with oversized pallets that I’ve found, a pallet jack to move the around on the ground and pallet racking and forks. Some pallets I cut down to better fit my implements.

I should have a wsm for my bh76 but I don’t recall if its for that specific model… I don’t think I could find one for the bh76 when I was looking so I bought the closet I could find. I’ll attach a photo/s when I have a chance

What do you want to know about those two?

Flir makes both usb c? and lightning compatible plug in cameras. I just bid and won a lightning compatible one.

York rakes are pricey but worth it in my opinion. I found an hd with scarifiers, blade, wheels and hydraulics at auction so I cannot tell you how it was used previously but it had a couple broken teeth and a broken arm for the blade. I suspect it was pushed past its breaking point. So while the...

I agree… before engaging the pto throttle down to idle, engage the pto then throttle back up

Since there is no obvious contact button on that page I suspect if you start the buying process it would provide more details on the shipping before you enter any payment method / details and commit to the purchase. If you are asked to provide payment details before they providing shipping...

I can’t find the page you’re looking at when I googled. Why don’t you either copy the link / address into your post or take a screenshot or photo and attach them to this post?

I agree the duties / customs fees can be a significant unknown cost depending on how it’s classified and where it’s made. Does it say FOB (free on board) + port or city? If so, it would be shipped to that port / city free and you would be responsible for shipping from there to your location.

I think you’ve hit the main aspects … the only comment I can make is maybe the bx might be to small depending on where you plan to use the loader… isn’t the bx loader approximately half the capacity of the b loader?

You’ll loose clearance with the mmm. Will you need the tractor for any other purpose where clearance is a factor? There might be other attachments that use the mid pto, like a broom or snow blower but I suspect they are more expensive than 3pt attachments.

I have a b3300 and I’m able to turn a good 45 degrees in the seat so I’m not looking 180 degrees backwards. that makes it manageable for me. Do you have a set or remotes on the back? If so a hydraulic chute rotation device could help by directing the blown snow away from the wind so that your...

I agree with the previous comments about leaving the snow so that the freezing rain will form a crust that can be easily removed and also prevent a layer of ice after clearing the snow. There’s one other aspect that I only saw mentioned once… how wet and heavy is the snow? If it’s wet heavy and...

The subframe is key.. it reinforces your cut frame… without it you could easily cause major damage if you are not careful.

Heres the situation I had… Somehow one cable jumped off one pulley earlier this year. So I searched and it was a fairly simple fix as indicated above. What I didn’t expect is the cable on the other side slipped out as I turned the bar to provide slack so I could wrap the cable around the pulley...

If you are able to wait, keep an eye on online auctions. I found an hydraulic 3pt with 12 and 24 in augers ( I think) that I bought for about 1000 cdn plus premium and tax but it was 5 hours from me… managed to work that trip into some other items i bought or wanted to do at the same time and...

Found this… https://www.mahindrafarmequipment.com/group/mitsubishi#:~:text=Mahindra%20Farm%20Equipment,compact%20and%20compact%20tractor%20industry.

So the blower and front two pto peices are not mounted to the tractor and subframe? Do you have a jackall? Try and lash one end of the pto to the jack the other end against the blower and then use to separate them? Initially I was thinking everything was attached to your tractor and subframe but...

I wonder if your diesel started to gel and partially blocked the fuel line or filter at that temp. I suspect you only have what we call summer diesel that far south. Winter diesel is designed to prevent freezing / gelling.

I have several potential uses for a thermal camera but wonder if it would be sensitive enough for one possible use. I want to have realistic expectations. I think I have a squirrel and or mice in the attic. I want to trap them and then repair any damage they might have caused being their nest...

That link is directed to Amazon.ca for me. I assume you are using Amazon.com … what’s the price on Amazon.com?

Are both ends of the short shaft connected when you have the problem? Try disconnecting the other end first and then try to remove the short shaft at the blower. If you get it apart, try connecting the short shaft at the blower first and then connect it to the other section.

Now I understand… SAP is core business software and they probably are running a number of modules.. that team will earn their pay.

Something doesn’t make sense… I have a number of questions. I work in IT and there’s additional important details to understand… is this planned or unplanned outage and what type of switchover is involved. I can only assume it’s unplanned and involves servers and probably a database(s) and...

That’s a great present for yourself. I wish I had a cab on mine. Lol Merry Christmas

Lay plywood or planks on the ramps to create a smooth surface so the wheels can roll freely?

How about a couple prices of longer angle iron sitting on the lips and the box ends resting on the angle iron?

I should have elaborated more… I used the same idea and it worked very well when building industrial water tanks and silos when sealing the seams with some sort of sealant. I wasn’t certain if it would work as well with oil or grease but I think it would help by creating a barrier preventing...

I don’t know if this will help but have you tried putting dish soap on your hands before doing any work?

The biggest advantage is that they should fit implements that have different widths between the pins as opposed to a quick hitch where the distance is fixed… so you are limited to a small range of implements whereas with pats you have a larger range of implements. Not a big issue for you with...

I’ll have to double check this. Thanks

No more issues so far. I’ll try some of these other troubleshooting tips if I continue to have problems. Thank you all.

I believe it was galvanized pipe to the pressure gauge and copper elsewhere..but that was repaired by my brother before I purchased the property from my parents estate.

The system is now repressurizing as needed, without any changes… the only action I took was to lightly tap the pipe going to the pressure switch. I doubt that did made a difference but maybe it dislodged something with the switch? I’ll monitor it for a few days or week before I return the...

I think I’ve eliminated the check valve as an issue by turning off the valve for the toilet that is running and the pressure has held for 6 ish hours… I have not used water today so next step is to see if the pressure is maintained while drawing water or if it drops to 0 again.

Thanks for your suggestions. I just picked up a few parts but the system was unpressurized after 1.5 hours after turning off the supply to the house… so that would indicate the check valve in the pump if the isolation valve is operational but to further pinpoint the problem I turned the supply...

Yes I have a running toilet but under normal circumstances shouldn’t the pressure switch detect the low pressure and repressurize the system as needed? I know my brother replaced the pressure gauge several years ago due to corrosion from incompatible metal… I don’t know if the pressure switch...

Update: the original issue is resolved when I can hold the switch to build pressure but the switch and tank are not maintaining pressure as water is used….so I plan to replace the switch to see if that resolves my issue. At least there is some water when needed even if a large volume cannot be...

i have a similar sized kubota that I use with a work saver hydraulic phd that I found at an online auction during covid. I’m not certain the exact model and they only provide recommended flow rate not hp… if it is the larger model I am slightly below the min flow rate , but if it’s the smaller...

Success. Thank you all. In the past never had to hold the switch part way it was just flip it one way or the other.

I am not certain what to make of the current symptoms I am having so I’d like to ask for your experiences and thoughts. Circuit breaker is on and when I flip the pressure switch the gauge jumps to 20 on the spot then immediately returns to 0. Does that indicate anything to anyone? To me, that...

Seems too good to be true… can’t help but wonder if they meant 14000?

As bigtiller suggests, corn head grease can replace the gear oil when your seals leak. It’s thicker but will liquify to a degree when you are running the tiller but should not leak

Who’s the manufacturer of you bh76? Your subframe does not look like a kubota subframe to me… at least not like the subframe on my b3300 and bh76.

I have a moose home plow that connects to the front trailer hitch on my kubota rtv. It uses an electric actuator for lift that I still need to connect but my use case is for light snow where I can clean my lane in 5 or 10 minutes instead of one hour using the rear mounted blower that I save for...

I’m no expert and am learning for a project myself but as I understand hydraulics even if you are not using this specific valve the power beyond and return will have constant flow

As mentioned, be cautious with the 3 pt hookup. It’s too easy to transfer too much stress back into the tractor and cause a lot of damage. Not to say it cannot be done, there’s some users here who have used a 3 pt hoe for some time but there’s probably a lot more who wish they had not used a...

It looks like 20 is the larger overall bracket. 40 looks like the bushing. What is 50.. dust cover?

That sounds like a good price and reasonable specs for what you want to do. One other aspect is how cold is it on winter? How much snow? How often? How far do you have to plow? A cab is probably asking asking too much on your budget but it might worthwhile considering adding a bit more money...

Is it turning? Is there a broken shear pin / bolt??

Reminds me of that scene in Harry Potter lol

As noted I would check which models of backhoe fit each tractor and confirm if a subframe is needed and if it is still available. Kubota had a three point hitch compatible backhoe for older models but went to a 4 point/ subframe at some point. I don’t recall the specific models for either. I’d...

Depending on the soil / rocks/ roots you have being able to reverse a hydraulic auger can make a huge difference compared to a pro driven one

I have a unique problem… at least I hope it’s unique. I’m 98 % certain a ground hog has eaten the wiring in my cars engine compartment even the sensors on top of the engine. I took it to a local garage and they told me there were too many error codes and to take it to the dealer because it...

One limitation I found is debris forks do not handle light material very well unless it is piled and creates resistance. And when it’s piled it’s easier to balance on the loader which helps since you cannot clamp and hold the load like a grapple.

Overall I agree but I think you can get more than 3 x because you can heap the bucket more and you can extend past the bucket width. One unexpected use is in the winter and spring to remove piles of compressed snow that fell off from metal roofs otherwise my yard stays wet for longer. My tractor...

I found myself in the same situation you ar in. I decided on debris forks… https://www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/pallet-forks-and-accessories/clamp-on-forks/clamp-on-debris-forks-v2/CODBF.html

Does the shield fold up to give enough clearance??

I don’t t think there is a specific minimum. Personally I typically idle the tractor before engaging the pro then add power after it’s engaged. I don’t know if you have an ePto and if so is it different in any way.

When you took off the cover did you check the end of the levers where it connects to the valve in case the portion that slides in and out of the valve is sticking?

I don’t know if this applies to the l series but for the cabbed b series and kubota bh77 there is a spacer to provide additional clearance between the tractor / cab / subframe and the backhoe. Since the backhoe came off a cabbed tractor it should include those spacers but you should not need...

You both mention the critical factor about quick hitches. If all your equipments fits one quick hitch then you are good to go… but if one or more pieces does not have the exact same dimensions then the purpose of a quick hitch is defeated… for me pat’s is the best option since a single quick...

What’s the purpose? Why so deep? Breaking hard pan? Any thoughts??

I suspect you do not have wheels on your rake but the can help immensely. For example, These ones are reasonably priced but I don’t know what modifications you might need to make to fit nor do I know the quality...

Have you considered a landscape rake?

York makes different qualities of rakes, some light duty others heavy duty. The heavy duty ones are pricey.

The york rakes are great with some interesting and useful options. The drop down grader blade is not as well built as a purpose built blade. The used york rake I bought had one of the two supports for the grader blade busted apart…. However I cannot tell you how it was used or abused before I...

What distance between chairs would accomplish that?

I’m planning to use an engine hoist when installing a backhoe subframe. Time will tell how well that works.

Looks like my second photo did not make it…

I had to do something similar when I bought a plow without the wiring harness. It took a while but I eventually found there are several different standards for harnesses and different sizes. Try searching for automotive harness on Amazon. I had to buy a set to get the specific ones that I...

Another option are pallets and a pallet jack.. assuming a concrete floor.

I can’t offer any advise… but to me that’s like a hay or forage wagon not a trailer.

My thought is something is freezing once you stop long enough for it to freeze. If your stop is short enough it does not have a chance to refreeze. When you park it inside again it has a chance to thaw out again. Does the type of snow or temperature make any difference to breaking shear pins?

One advantage of a hydraulic phd is you can reverse the auger if it binds on something. A pto driven phd you need to manually screw out. I have a hydraulic 3pt phd. My tractor is at the lower end of the rated hydraulic specs so it’s a bit slower than if it had a higher flow but it’s a lot better...

I am following because i am interested in the bolt on rock cutters mainly. They hydraulic phd I have came with maybe 75 lb weight but I think that is to counterbalance the hydraulic motor that extends 8 or so inches on the opposite side

Yes, tires are an important factor, winter or all seasons. Packing snow with winter tires is alot easier. The only potential issue is when they clear the street and windrow the snow into the end of my lane… that’s where the 4x4 comes in handy when there is 4 to 6 or more inches.

After the first one or two permanent snowfalls that don’t melt, I create a base of compacted snow by driving over it without clearing it, then have no issues with throwing gravel.

Check out local farm auctions. Sometimes you might find the exact parts you want, otherwise pick up an old plow to strip off the parts.

Based on the following, seems like they should be compatible… the only question is there any material difference between the gc1700 and your gc1723e and their loaders. Other thought is there could be different subframes needed for different model tractors.

I have a Meyers home plow that connects to the 2 inch front receiver on my rtv. I use it mainly on light snow on my 1200 ft lane and as a backup for the tractor and blower. It takes maybe 5 or 10 minutes to clear the lane instead of the hour using the blower driving backwards. I plan to put a...

The issue I have on my hst , the rocker pedal does not always return to neutral… or rather the linkage underneath does not engage/ disengage the switch to allow starting. In the worst case I’ve spent a few minutes taping the pedal forward and reverse to try and find neutral before it will...

Sounds like a useful script. Can you share the script, or where you found it. Thanks

Hydraulic post hole diggers were 2 to 3 k cdn… but are likely more now. Have you considered buying a larger auger for your existing hphd ? Is the make and model still in production? If not, maybe you could retrofit an auger from a different manufacturer.

I don’t know how heavy the pallet/bag of wood would be … no pun intended…. but could an engine hoist or some kind of crane attached to your pickup lift it?

I just purchased a used kubota bh76 backhoe for my b3300su. It does not have the normal hydraulic connections that can only be connected one way, instead it uses the remotes. When I first saw this setup, I liked it as that would be one less task when I attach the subframe. But now that I’ve had...

You have great story telling ability. I needed a good laugh even for this serious situation.

If you have a protected cable that does not need a conduit, a subsoiler/ ripper could work. Attach a pipe to the rear of the subsoilder that you can run the cable through. If you need conduit then middle buster like quicksandfarmer would work best imo.

That’s a great idea… well worth the cost.(y)

What model work master is involved? I’m considering a used wm 40 and like to have a baseline to compare. Thanks

Yes it is… and do not be fooled when someone mentions it’s a dry heat so it feels better. It does NOT feel any better because it’s not humid … it’s still bloody hot

What do you and your wife like doing? Id suggest flying into either phoenix or Vegas then doing the Grand Canyon

Kubota has a front mounted blower for their rtv, but they’re not cheap.

TrackR was an option I used in the past mainly because the battery was user replaceable… but the company closed a few years ago. I haven’t been looking for a replacement yet but a replaceable battery is high on my list of desired features.

I hope they had the correct type of travel insurance.

Do you have rear lights on the tractor? It sounds like you do not so would be another item to consider. Otherwise somehow tie the pto shaft to the hitch so you are not trying to manage the hitch and pto shaft at the same time

Would a wheeled trailer jack at the front help to move it by hand?

I’ve always found it easier to back up a trailer using a tractor. it’s slower but it’s easier to practice practice practice as others have suggested. I just purchased a pickup and trailer within the past couple years so I’m still learning the art of backing up with the mirrors … I can do it but...

Some of those knock offs could even have fake certifications. As long as you buy from a reputable seller you should be ok but there is no guarantee you are buying an authentic product. In some cases, legitimate distributors have been fooled into selling knock offs.

Is the problem you don’t have 3 or 4 inches clearance under the pins while backing up you tractor? Removing the pats is not needed… You should be able to leave them attached to the 3pt arms and expand the arms as if they were not attached then push them onto the pins. You would have to remove...

I found a used el43 several years ago. They’re expensive compared to a lot of Chinese low quality equipment, but well built in france. https://www.kuhn.com/en/crop/tillage-implements/seedbed-preparation-tools/rotary-tillers

Do whole home surge protectors provide any protection for any type of wired data connection? Or are they just for mains power?

Was any item connected to these suppressors damaged? If it was me, and I did not loose any equipment other than the suppressor I’d consider myself lucky. It’s easy and simple to replace an inexpensive suppressor instead of the higher value items you want protected. I know they failed but better...

I took a different option as I did not want to spend 2 to 3 k on a grapple and front hydraulics so I bought a set of debris forks. If I remember correctly I spent about 250 but they either did not ship to canadá or the cost was pricey. And this was when the border was closed so I found a...

A flip down blade is a great option if you do not have an alternative but will never be as strong as a dedicated unit

Yes time can be your friend. I was searching for 2 ish years and found 4 different rakes in about 6 months. As other users have said sometimes used auction items go for virtually new prices and other online sales are overpriced even if high quality. Ended up finding an hd york rake with wheels...

I liked driving those versatile… swivel seat so you can drive forward… made clearing snow easier. Only downside is you needed to take off the loader to use the 3pt hitch

Do you have a backhoe for your tractor? If so, I’d assume the subframe was an integral component to spread out the forces and prevent you from splitting the tractor in two. Otherwise I am having problems understanding what subframe you want to remove. I do not know your tractor model. Pictures...

Sounds interesting. Where was that? What types of planes?

What type of plants are they? What condition are the plants in? How long have you had them? For the past couple years I have not been able to plant all my trees quickly. Some were potted but others were root stock. By watering and careful placement of the pots while prepping for them, for...

Just under a year ago I found a 2016 F150 4x4 xl sport 5 litre 8ft box with max towing with 275k km (about 170k miles) on auction and safety included. I won it for 11.5k cdn or about 9000us. Spent a couple grand on winter tires and rims, new battery, and had one brake seize. A part of me was...

Thank you all… this is a great post for me. Over the next few years I want to clear some fields and plant hazels and other trees. I do not think they have become a problem in Ontario yet but good to avoid a potential problem.

I read something or saw some utube where Ford offered a new feature, at least I think it was Ford, was adding a ‘secret’ faraday cage in the console to place your spare key. I don’t know if it is offered by any other manufacturers.

Have you considered a mole plow? Basically a subsoiler/ ripper that drags a ‘torpedo’. The torpedo creates a channel that aids drainage. Not very common in North America but something to consider. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/mole-plow-yes-you-read-that-right.395061/

I just connected my pats this past weekend and changed implements a couple times. It took me a while to figure out that the pats on one arm remains at 12:00, but the other arm can rotate to about 1:00 causing it to bind. I only noticed this after readjusting pats, so I’m not certain if that will...

Fyi, costco had a few other brands of tool of chests / boxes online but they are more expensive compared to their kirkland branded tool chests. As far as I know, only the Kirkland brand is instore to inspect. Let us know what you find / decide.

Main downside with Costco is they only offer this one model in canada

Have you considered costco? In canada their inhouse Kirkland signature branded tool chest is, I believe, made by torin. It's a 44 inch 2 piece set. Before covid, was priced in store at 899 cdn but after a recent restock... now priced at 1199 cdn. I don't know prices in US but should be 25% less...

To expand on this a little… do you drive and pack the snow to create a firm base before plowing early in the season, so that you are not constantly digging into the gravel? That should help to minimize the gravel that’s pushed off your drive. It gets a bit more challenging when you have melts...

Check out … titan attachments clamp-on debris forks. Found them handy.

I stumbled upon Steve Berry maybe 5 years ago. His books involve a government agent / spy and some sort of historical time period / event / person… one such example is the terracota army. Also like James Rollins. Both are highly recommended.
