Fine dirt can block the fuel line to the point where it will croak and then the vacuum will end and then it cans start again. I would use some alcohol to break up the fine dirt and wash it out with hot water and dawn dish soap. Gum deposits in the carburator will also do what is happening to...

No, you need to worry more about cleaning the couplings on the snow blower and the new mule before you couple them.

Please check with the folks at Boston Gear as they may very well have a compatable gear box for that beautiful snow thrower.

I really wish that John Deere would start making single stage snow blowers again so I put one on my E100 :cry:

Be careful about your PTO shaft as you may end up having to measure twice or three times and then cut it since the quick hitch does not work.

I too look forward to hearing more about your snow thrower.

You should contact the local Spider mower dealer in your area to see if they will rent one of thier all terrain low profile 4 wheel drive mowers or a contract mower who might be able to come by with a spider mower and mow your property for you.

Have you called a local FECON dealer to see how much renting the smallest forestry mulcher will cost for a day???

You would be much better off renting a FECON tracked mulcher for three plus days for the amount of money spent on a new machine as you would be able to clear every acre and mulch below the ground to rip up roots and stumps to clear the land and perhaps cover it with plastic mulch to kill off any...

Your problem sounds exactly like a sheared key to me.

Spend a bit more on a rear mounted heavier snow blower like a Pronovost Puma. The Pronovost family has been building farm equipment and snow blowers for Canadian winters for many decades. You have to keep in mind that a front mounted snow blower will have a heavy belly mounted frame that...

You should also check with the local FECON mulcher brush mower dealer near you as there almost 30 of them around you to see how much a daily rental for a small tracked mulcher would be as it would be able to clear this in less than a day and then go back and grind everything back below ground...

You should look at the Kubota RTV900 and order a set of 4 agrizeta steel tracks from Joel at earth tools as you will have plenty of floatation with a set of agrizeta tracks whether that are steel or rubber. The agrizeta steel tracks have cleated sections that dig in the soft ground to provide...

The sooner it starts snowing in B.C. and Washington I will be able to do things outside as the smoke odor hand really heavy on the hills here.

The Pronovost family has made farm equipment for many years and it is of very high quality. 1. How you operate your tractor is very important as the maintaining the required engine speed for power take off to operate at 540 RPM is as important as the travel speed in reverse. Taking half cuts...

Hello and good afternoon AB4D, Your mules available PTO horsepower places a limit on how large an orchard and vineyard shredder flail mower with hammer knives you can have. One pair of remotes limits you to a simple side shift model which will be an easier implement to take care of. 1...

Please check to see if your policy also has replacement value coverage for your 3033R. You should have it in case you are a victim of mule theft.

Hello Terry, I am glad for your sake that you were able to obtain a replacement weldment for your flail shredder quickly. They have obviously had trouble with this weldment previously since this flail shredder was offered to the flail shredder market. Please fill in the pin holes at the end...

Apparently neither Sims, Curtis or the Original Tractor Cab Company offer full cabs for your mule. Damage like that cannot be repaired as the cabin is considered compromised. It would cost you less to have the cab replaced most likely but a new mule will have the advantage of local dealer...

Good morning Yogi05, There is no reason you could not use the FOTON or the Tym for this snowblower. The issue is clearing speed as you do not want to travel too fast in reverse while clearing is you could plug the chute and cross augers and shear a pin. The previous owner purchased this...

You have a worm adjusted depth control on that cultivator if my memory is right. I hope the hand crank has not been broken off. You need to contact the folks at www.kongskilde.com with the serial number and model number of this cultivator to obtain the right spring clip that holds the adjuster...

Post a picture of the flail mower rotor with knives mounted on it please. If the flail mower rotor is not balanced you will lose another set of bearings.

A finish flail mower or a flail crop shredder with side slicers or hammer scoop knives will work very well as long as the hammers or the knives are sharped properly.

Since your mule is a well built TOYOSHA made 12 forward/3 reverse gear in 3 speed ranges (Low/Medium/High) tractorwith only 23 horsepower(claimed) at the power take off the only mower that will give you adequate brush clearing and mowing is a 60 inch cut flail mower. A gear drive tractor will...

You need to rent an engine hoist for a few days to do it as efficiently as possible as you need to fully remove the flail mower rotor to do the repair. Have you checked with Ohara machinery or Cazenovia equipment to see how busy they are?

Hello Mr. Yuan, Did you receive the manual for the Lawn Genie Pick up mowers that I sent you? High speed balancers are a pricy item for small repair shops unless they do a great deal of drive line manufacturing in house. Engine rebuilding shops will have high speed balancers in house...

Buy the physical book from Deere for the 25A flail mower SKU PC0938 $13.55. Go to staples and buy a 1 inch 3 ring binder and enough sheet protectors to protect the copies of the sheets of the flail mower book. Have Staples make copies of each sheet of the book. You need to remove the...

Good evening Mr. Dunn, The flail mower knives are attached to the flail mower rotor using mounting straps with mounting holes that hold the knife hangers that carry the knives.

You will be money ahead and better off renting a 4 wheel drive aerial lift and buying a full body harness to do all your pruning. Investing in a Stihl pole pruner with an extendable drive shaft and a heavy hedge pruning head and chain saw head will cost you much less money and will let you...

UGGHH!! Starting at the beginning, if you really intend to keep this flail mower you are going to spend a great deal of money. Both Flail Mower rotors should be taken to a repair shop with a high speed balancing machine(2,200 RPM+) to balance them CORRECTLY. If the repair shop has a high...

Hello redcar98, What model Del Morino Flail Mower do you have? You may have a great deal of fine dust in the adjuster track that is preventing the adjuster from fully releasing to allow you to install the V belts if they are the correct ones. If you have fully released the snubber pulley and...

Nope, this is a flail topper, flail defoliator it is ment for topping/shredding off the leaves of mature sugar beets, peanuts and potato's prior to harvest. Have any of the New Brunswick sasquatches been seen lately?

The only other option would be a MASCHIO boom mounted orchard and vineyard crop shredder/verge mower.

Hello Torvy, If you can live with/make good use of a standard flail with no side shift or extended boom with your mule you should look at a wider Vrisimo flail mower.

All the more reason for a wide cut single stage self propelled snow blower. Heavy 12 and 14 gauge extension cord snakes are the worst and they bite!!

www.micromark.com Go to the home page and click on the digital catalog and flip the pages until you see the wet well slow speed grinder on Page 65 of the Micro Mark Catalog listed as "wet dry utility sharpener" It is $99.00+tax and shipping to your home.

The best way to grind the flail mower knives and cast hammers is to use a wet well grinder. It prevents the knife from overheating and in the process losing its tempering properties.

If you do this the flail mower rotor will become unbalanced. The best thing to do is simply remove the opposite knife mounting station if you do not have the identical knife to replace it and raise the cutting height of your beautiful flail mower.

Which brand of flail mower to you own? Each brand of flail mower has a different method of adjustment for the proper belt tension.

The 5 horsepower per foot rule is simple hearsay and a marketing gimmick and not a useable means to determine the needed PTO horsepower for a flail mower or rototiller.

Hello and good afternoon aclarke, A 48" Del Morino or Maschio boom mounted orchard and vineyard crop shredder for your kubota will work well for you as it will allow you to mow close to fence lines and when fully extended it will let you mow in a spiral from the center and clip the pasture at a...

First be sure the rear roller is set at the lowest cutting height which requires the rear roller to be mounted at the highest adjustment point(mounting holes) on the side weldments. Remove the cast hammers and install the side slicer knives, you will be able to recut the clippings and heavy...

First question: Is it the horizontal fitting or the unpainted vertical fitting in the image the one that is leaking? Second, I need to pester you to take another photo image more to the left as I believe the JIC fitting was cross threaded. I will wait for the new image and your reply as I need...

Invest in a hydraulic top link and plumb in in 2 tees in the cylinder ports to allow you to allow you to let the top link float using the remotes.

If the top link is not adjusted to make sure the flail mower gearbox is level while mowing it will scalp the ground. Can you make use of a lawn roller filled with water or sand to help with smoothing the lawn out after a heavy rain?

If your shopping you should also look at Valley Tool/Vrisimo for a flail mower attachment.

It will be less expensive to fix the draft control on your mule rather than install gauge wheels on your flail mower as you need four of them and adapting them to mow 6 inches high will take a lot of work. I have no idea how much replacement bush hog caster wheel weldments would cost as you...

Bon Jour, Monsieur Adlox, I wish to welcome you as the newest resident member of the Flail Mower Nations from Rancon, France. As you have the side slicer knives on your beautiful Del Morino flail Mower you can simply reverse them and obtain another 9 years of mowing with them.

Scoop/spoon/hammer knives face the rear wheels, side slicer knives have 2 cutting edges.

If you are cropping this land and have that many glacial rocks from frost heaving you should rent or buy a rock picker to dig them out and rent out the rock picker for extra income.

If you have that much acreage and plan to buy more a towed 15 foot Hiniker flail shredder that will let you tow the flail mower within the traffic lane with its tow hitch would be better suited for this.

Talk to Joel at earth tools, you really need his advice. Renting a bobcat from a bobcat dealer and one of their hydraulic flail mowers would be a better option for only yearly mowing.

OK, If the flail mower does not sound like a shop vac vacuum cleaner it is not creating the amount of pressure gradient/suction to lift the clippings up and over the flail mower rotor and the flail mower rotor is not spinning at 2,200 RPM+. Tall, thick, dense brush requires the user to...

Absolutely NOT!! these mowers will not accept a cast hammer knife of any type. If you are not ready to buy a flail shredder with cast hammers Like a 60 inch DEL MORINO or MASCHIO Crop, orchard and vineyard shredder sized properly for your current mule you should invest in new side slicer...

If you wander over to youtube and type in INO BRECE flail crop shredders you will see thier dominator shredders shredding corn stalks and many other crops.

The lift is created by the 2200+ RPM of the rotor spinning the side slicer/scoop/spoon/hammer knives. The closer the flail mower knife is to the ground the closer the flail mower rotor shroud is to the ground. If the flail knife is set to cut at 2 inches the front edge of the flail mower...

If you have not purchased a mower yet you should look at the John Deere 290 or 390 flail mower and you will be able to mow everything with one attachment and it is a safer mower to own and operate and you can sell the rotary cutter. The John Deere 290 or 390 flail mower with side slicer(grass)...

MASCHIO offers a new motorized towed flail shredder with cast hammer knives and a tow hitch. If you call Cummings and Bricker in BATAVIA, NY who is the national MASCHIO importer you can find out more about them as they have imported a bunch of them.

The largest Kunz unit has a 27 horsepower air cooled motor. The nice thing about it is that you can hook up 3 of the 57 inch mowers together to mow almost 15 feet in one pass with one in the center and two on either side or one behind the other to the left or right. I candidly think once...

Don't waste your money. If he could not answer your question directly that is always a bad sign. Do you have an add on oil cooler and external hydraulic tank for any attachments that use hydraulic motors?? You have to remember that the hydraulic oil is going to get hot and hotter. If the...

Vbeltsupply.com GATES HIGH POWER C-4 V belt $36.54 +tax and shipping

Can you use an ATV/RTV front mounted RAMMY flail mower instead?? The RAMMY distributor METSA Machines is in Michigan.

You can order kevlar/aramid C-54 V belts from www.vbeltsforless.com for $9.63 plus tax and shipping cost.

The family that owns The Vrisimo Company builds their flail mowers in California.

To be hardened they have to be heat treated or have a carbide coating applied to them. If a cup knife/spoon knife is less expensive they are not heat treated. You have to decide how much you wish to spend on them as you can purchase a great number of regular knives to do a great deal of mowing...

Hello Bend User, I am sorry to learn of your poor experience with this attachment. This machine has a one year warranty, it may be better to pursue obtaining a replacement machine or to simply scrap it and invest in a RAMMY atv/rtv flail mower.

Hello and good morning Mr. Harvey. The scoop/spoon flail knives on the Ford 917 are a flail knife that is a general purpose knife to allow the end user to mow brush and grass. If the scoop/spoon knife is dull it will not slice the brush or grass well. A sharpened spoon/scoop/side slicer...

I hope you do not tear out a side or corner weld on your loose materials bucket as they are not ment for digging out broken stone or compacted materials. Broken Limestone weights 97 pounds+ per cubic foot not including stone dust and it has and expanded volume/bulking factor of 75-80 percent...

Your machine with its loader is only ment to reclaim materials light in weight it is not designed to what you are trying to do. Pushing the stone from the side of the pile in six inch slices to make a long windrow is the only way to do this if you do not want to rent a tracked skid loader like...

The click you heard was most likely on of the knives just being freed up from resting on the flail mower rotor or bumping up against the flail mower rotor while back in reverse if the engine speed is not set at the PTO Speed or when you encounter thick brush. When your flail mower is...

The Phoenix brand of rotary and flail mowers are manufactured by the SICMA company in Italy www.sicma.it/eng/ which is part of the family held Aurora group in Italy. SICMA has been manufacturing farm equipment for both small and large farm equipment for 50 years and it meets the higher farm...

Candidly I do not know if the Ibex brand is a Del Morino product. I am sure they would tell you if they are the manufacturer of Ibex products if you asked them directly.

If the Rippeon people do not want to sell you a Del Morino Flipper(58") or Flipper Super(88", 91") invest in a Hiniker 6 foot flail mower crop shredder and you will not have to deal with windrows anymore. As I have mentioned before I believe Kubota is once again importing the Maschio Flail...

There are 5 Del Morino dealers in Maryland. All Roads Kubota, Rippeon Equipment, J.D. Mullinix and Sons Inc., Wertz Farm and Power, Stambaugh Ag Repair, Inc.

I am so sorry to hear of your bad experience. There are many very high quality of build smaller American or Italian made flail mowers available.

Your flail mower will not work well if you do that but if you want a rougher cut just raise the three point hitch 6 inches and lock it in place after you set the roller on the ground.

I am not sure if it is a Del Morino product but either Cummings and Bricker or tractor tools direct has to tell you who makes it. Slapping the tractor tools direct sticker on it certainly does not make it thier flail mower.

Hello and good morning rhuffie, I want to welcome you as the newest resident member of the "Flail Mower Nations" from Mariposa, California. Happy mowing

Decide between the DEL MORINO, MASCHIO or VRISIMO flail shredders you want for your mowing and go from there first.

You can lock the position control on the three point hitch but you must understand that if the mower is not set at 2 inches it will not work well and not cut the brush well enough.

A front mounted rake attachment will not work as it will only clog up the rake and eventually become so clogged it become a fire hazard. A flail mower works best when the flail mower is set at the 2 inch cutting height and left there as the flail mower rotor shroud is at its lowest height and...

The larger flail mowers are also used as crop shredders so a 7 foot cut DEL MORINO, MASCHIO or VRISIMO will work very well for you. Another option is the 6 foot cut towed HINIKER towed flail mower crop shredder with a constant velocity universal joint. The mower an offset adjustable hitch...

You would be better off with a wider flail shredder and adding bicycle flags to both sides of the mower to keep track of the mowers sides provided the mule has enough horsepower for the flail shredder.

When you want to mow 100 acres your choices are going to be the larger 8-10 foot in mowing width flail mowers/crop shredders from DEL MORINO, MASCHIO or VRISIMO.

Please listen. The large flail crop shredders do not make use of a rear roller as they are supported by the very thick flail mower shroud and the rear tubular weldment that prevents the flail mower shroud from twisting and wracking by also using the rear tubular weldment that prevents the mower...

Hello showroomshine, The Ferri Flail Mower like all flail mowers is best operated at the lowest setting or 2 inch cutting height as this creates the highest pressure gradient/suction pressure to cut and lift the clippings up and over the flail mower rotor and back down to the ground. The Ferri...

Yes, this is how the flail mower/flail crop shredder/ boom mounted orchard and vineyard shredder are protected. The V belt drive system is an indirect drive which is the best defense for a flail mower.

Wander over to youtube and type in Vrisimo and 6 or 7 of them pop up; then go to youtube and type in vrisimo shredder to see more. Type in vrisimo shredder in google and you will see more of them.

Hello and good evening rhuffie, The VRISIMO flail mowers have been made for a long time and the new owners of the company have maintained the high quality building them. There are plenty of videos of the Vrisimo mowers working in many mowing conditions and in orchards as well. You have to...

You need a new complete PTO Shaft to cut it to the right length

Mr. Henry you have a coarse cut flail mower and it is unbalanced condition you may have a bad bearing, you need to talk to a ford dealer about your flail mower.

Hello BalaamsJackass, You should ask your dealer if the front suitcase weight bracket without the weights will safely clear the loader frame on your mule when lowered.

Hello JethroB, Increased stability on mild slopes and adhesion.

Hello Johnnyvol, If it is the model I think it is, it is a John Deere 7 foot cut model 25A flail mower. Parts like V belts and knives and bearings are still available so no worries there.

Hello Crazzy450z, I want to welcome you as the newest resident member of the Flail Mower Nations from the great City of Guelph, and the Province of Ontario, Canada. Use the Zetor for the flail mower.

Hello BalaamsJackass, I am not sure but kubota may be importing the MASCHIO brand flail mowers again and if so BRAVO. The MASCHIO built European made flail mowers have the rear trash door that can be opened to access the flail mower rotor from the rear of the mower and also allow the end user...

Spend your good money on a VRSIMO flail mower for your mule and you will be able to use it on the next larger mule you buy.

A shop vac works wonders when you have room to stuff a small hose in there. Using a Mister Funnel along with a small RACOR turbine fuel filter with a 2 micron filter works wonders to get rid of crap in the tank and water and you can bypass the kubota supplied filters completely to keep the...

My little Sophie dog would have turned as green as a grape leaf rolling around in that fresh grass with her brother big Max. I miss them both so much!!

It looks like a very old Mott interstater. It might be a fun winter project but the issue is the condition of flail mower rotor and the flail mower rotor bearings.

If you expect to keep this mule you need to remove the wheels and the fenders first to remove the entire assembly opposite of how it was installed at the factory. After that you need to find a tractor repair shop to remove the broken cross shaft and possibly line bore it and install new properly...

I am still dealing with my swamp, but I have mowed twice now.

I used a tiller with a hiller attached to make the raised beds and never regretted it. Do not get rid of your tiller. You can buy a single bed former with a mulch layer to do 2 jobs in one pass from the buckeye tractor folks www.buctraco.com I have to go.

Rhino is owned by Alamo or at least I thought it was. You can contact Rhino through thier web page and get a better answer about your mower. As old as it is it may be time to look at a Caroni flail mower with a B rotor to replace it as replacing all three spindles/arbors would equal the cost...

Ideally you want a raised bed for annuals and using a rotary plow to build the seed bed is best as it creates a taller seed bed and the seeds will germinate earlier and the weed swill be crowed out and die soon after. When I had my last garden I made 24 inch spaced raised beds 12 inches high...

For what you intend on doing a boom mounted flail shredder mower is safer and more user friendly as it is mounted on the three point hitch and powered by the 540 RPM power take off.

Then it is a Mott interstater.

How low are you mowing???? The spindle metal is too soft. The V belt should have sheared or become glazed upon impact. If the Gearbox is not a COMER gearbox I would be very concerned about owning this mower. You should go to tractor supply and purchase a Eurocardan PTO shaft with a slip...

A dredge nozzle works using water to drive water just like a jet pump for a water well. In your situation a floating fire pump will be of the most help to you to feed your PTO pump. The Absolute Water Pump folks sell the self contained CET floating fire pump which is made in Canada for fire...

Hello kubota gene, I want to welcome you as the newest resident member of the "Flail Mower Nations". Please fill in the rest of your information so that I and many others that love our flail mowers can help you. I believe the flail mower you have is a Ford 917. Where is the rear roller? You...

You will not find one unless you rent a log skidder with a forestry mower. For the money spent renting a tracked excavator to rip them out with a choker brush grubber from Gemplers and 1/2" inch chain and 1/2" hooks will cost you less money.

Hello sascags, I forgot to mention the power harrow is a shallow cultivation implement. If you wander over to youtube you can see videos of them working the soil.

The soil structure depends on what you have to start with and whether it is easily penetrable with a seeds tap roots or a plants total root system. If you have thick black or red clay, you need gypsum, lime, concrete gravel sand, time, fertilizer and compost to make it more useable for...

If you are doing virgin ground at the lowest speed a rotary plow would work well until you bucked a rock that would have to be dug out just as you would a tiller. You would want to make several passes increasing the depth each time with the plow gauge wheel just as you would a bcs or other...

Thier simplicity in design and ease of maintenance is what makes them better in my examination of them. I have looked at many 2 stage snow blowers since 1995 and I just shake my head as the people that design these things have never seen a single stage belt to chain drive single stage snow...

The only ATV/RTV/UTV snow thrower you should even consider buying is the RAMMY 155 single stage snow thrower, it is a single stage machine that has V belt drive. The Rammy single stage snow thrower has many fewer parts than a 2 stage ATV/UTV/RTV snow blower. The drive system is simple and...

The best thing to do is find out what a new one costs and then decide if you want at least 50% of the newest retail price for the same model and go from there as people will want to bargain with you. You may decide to just have it as a back up implement as you have already paid for it.

You are most welcome, please feel free to send any questions a long via a private message if you are not sure about an issue with your mule or the MASCHIO boom mounted mowers. Having lived through a tip over I am always worried about my friends with boom mounted flail crop shredders and...

No, they are not lying, many of the Maschio boom mounted flail mowers are mounted on a low profile heavy 4 wheel drive tool carrier that has 3 point hitch systems with power take offs on the front and rear of the tool carrier. Follow the manufacturers pages that I provided for you as they are...

Hello Latimeer1776, Did you look at the MASCHIO web page for the mower to see its dimensions when it is fully extended and elevated in the vertical position and fully extended and lowered along the ditch line at its maximum down angle below horizontal? You will need to have the new PTO shaft...

The only system that will be useable for you is a liquid manure pump mounted on wheels used to pump and agitate manure in manure lagoons. The folks at Conestoga Manure Spreaders can help you with this as you do not have a big pumping need. www.conestogamanurespreaders.com 1-800-822-1976...

A 60 inch cut flail mower with side slicer knives will provide you with a better cut and allow you to recut the brush a second and or third time. The sliced up brush clippings will be lifted up and over the flail mower rotor and be deposited on the sod as you advance forward and will be recut...

Hello moparcar, I want to welcome you as the newest resident member of the Flail Mower Nations from the great state of Tennessee.

You have a 60H roller chain that needs a 60H single row sprocket. They are being cheap, they do not want to buy 60H single row sprockets with roller bearings for the shaft bore. If you can loosen the roller chain and remove it call the closest KAMAN Industrial Office to obtain the correct...

Did you look at the youtube video links I uploaded showing how the Pronovost PXPL-86 snow blower worked in both directions?? Does your mule have a Mid-Point Power Take Off? If it does, you could mount the PXPL-86 up front and do all your snow removal with no need for a snowplow. If it does...

This is why I suggested the Pronovost XPro PXPL-86 as it can do both jobs and it is well within your mules power range. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjZwsaUwl www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gMolc1vJyY

Hello BeeJay42, Candidly; with your needs, I am afraid a 7 foot flail shredder with cast hammer knives will not be heavy enough to do your clearing. Backing over this type of brush trying to mow it even with a mower in the rear invites heavy brush being driven into a radiator or coolant hoses...

Call United Rentals and ask about one of the smaller machine with the cabin tilt feature to do your earthwork it will be faster and the switchbacks will be excavated the right way as the excavator can do it in a wide linear swath in one position operating from one location only leaving the...

Before you do anything you should contact United Rentals as they have mini excavators like the old DROTT excavators that had the ability to dig level trenches on slopes. I am not sure if you could successfully use a mini excavator with a tilting bucket if you have rock ledges on the hill side.

Leave it at the equipment dealer to let them do all the work otherwise you may regret it.

Hello fishhead, It would be worthwhile to ask your dealer if a change order can be added to your sales order to add 6 inch wings to the snow blower in their fabrication shop. Leon

I sent my 2011 John Deere 2 stage junk to the scrapper. My 20 and 30 year old Toro snow pups and my original garden way snow blower are more dependable than the belt driven JD junk.

It may be 55 inches wide but it will clear snow faster than a 2 stage snow blower of nearly the same size. If you want an implement with high quality of build and a large impeller you have to spend good money and in the process you will have a snow blower that will outlast every tractor you...

1. having snow blower with a chute extension eliminates a lot of snow dust as the snow ejected is blown further up the chute just like silage being blown into a silo. 2. having a rotating impeller drum to allow the user to discharge the snowpack left or right allows the user to...

This is a video of a Pronovost TRC80 with the rotating impeller drum clearing deep snowbanks with a Massey Ferguson 1648 tractor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzjtZoLT_x4 The second one is a large new Holland tractor with a TRC snow blower. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjw4H1XiSvY The third video...

You need to visit youtube and watch videos of folks using inverted snow blowers and the pronovost TRC snow blower. The vanderzon folks use a great number of Kubota M100 mules and inverted snow blowers for thier clearing operations. www.mjsvanderzon.ca With hydraulic drive snow blower you have...

There are more than a handful of things you need to consider. 1. with any rear implement you need ballast weight to create adhesion to do work 2. if you do not have snow chains and liquid ballast in the rear tires already you may need them to maintain adhesion 3. you have a front end...

Hello 3 Horse Ranch, What brand of snow blower do you have on your mule and how old is it?? If you have a lower gear to use in your mule that will reduce the amount of snow that build up in front of it.

The curl function is actually referred to as the retract function in a hydraulic circuit but as long as the machine works.......

The Hiniker skid steer Versaplow is an option in 8 or 10 foot widths . wwwk.hiniker.com/support/literature/ www.hiniker.com/steer-plows/versaplows-4000series/ Holt Ag Solutions in Yuba City, Ca. is the closest dealer to you. 1-530-755-3363

You going to have to remove the gear box cover and try to turn the gear box shaft from there and if it does not spin you have bigger problems.

You would be better off using an Erskine Skid Steer V plow mounted on a SSQA plate attached to a John Deere quick hitch if you have at least one set of remotes on the rear as it would let you use it as a V plow and then a straight plow to push the white crap back. If you do not have the rear...

I was wondering about thier quality too as I was looking at buying a water distiller from them as well to distill my well water for drinking and cooking. I will have to look at it some more.

You need to have a local farm tire dealer come out and pump the liquid ballast into your rear tires. If decide to do it make sure they use rimguard as calcium will rot the tire rims out if you have tubeless tires. Another ballast option is 100% wind shield washer fluid too. The local farm...

Do you have time to fix the chains on the right rear tire?, otherwise it will slip out and break. The rule is; release some air pressure in the tire and tighten the inside connecter loop chain all the way to the last link and then tighten the outside loop chain to the same tension and then put...

Edited this AM 1/23/23 I would still contact the local Erskine dealer Alpine Smith in South Lake Tahoe to see if you can mount one of thier small skid steer V plows on your loader safely. IN SAYING THAT: Mounting an Erskine V plow on the three point hitch using a 3 point quick hitch would be...

If you are really having problems with clogging you need to use Fluid Film in liquid form by mixing a 50-50 mix in a new 2 gallon poly sprayer and keeping it warm in the cab to spray the chute, spout and impeller occasionally to make it slicker and double your casting distance. The power...

You may be better off buying a small farm disc mower to do that as the disc mowers discs ride on the ground and each disc has 3 or 4 single blades on it and there are no sickle teeth to break and mend/rivet.

If the bolt is black in color it is a 12.9 metric/grade 8 bolt or higher. You need a grade 8 bolt and nut equivalent for this PTO Shaft if you do not want to invest in 12.9.

Front end loaders are not the problem solved solution for pushing snow banks and don't let anyone tell you they are as the snow will continue to build up and simply drop and fill it in. So you live on the Prosser or Olympic Heights side of Tahoe? Just so you understand "if you all" invest in...

Your augers are too small, you need a tapered transplant auger with a flat base spiral on the bottom. I forgot to add this but one transplant auger is all you will need for everything you intend to do. A wider tapered auger pulls everything away from the hole as it sinks in and the rocks along...

If I had seen this picture before I would have still told you to sell the other snow blower and purchase a Pronovost TRC720 which is the correct width for your mule. That plow will bend and twist your loader so keep that in mind. What type of snow chains do you have??

He has a KIOTI DK50C in which the C designation I will assume for now is for a tractor cab. Hi mule has a manual transmission with creeper gearing for reverse. The creeper gearing is a huge plus where he can set the throttle and shift into reverse and sit side saddle in the seat and look over...

Did the woodmax people tell you that your tractor was large enough to power this snow blower???? If they did, they lied to you. 1. You need the right 6 foot cut snow blower for your tractors frame size 2. you need to have the rear tires loaded with liquid ballast 3. you need front and rear...

Don't waste your time or money on wheel weights. A western plow on a tractor would not last long with heavy snow. I dont think you could stomach spending money on a dual directional tractor as you would need an 8 foot wide snowblower. If you can find a used one in good shape a Massey...

The only way you will gain anything is use espalier planting to establish your orchard after you have done all the land work and make much less work for you in total. Renting a FECON self propelled forestry mulcher will do all your clearing and land leveling for you in one pass and dig below...

Hello Kiwibro, I am late coming to this but I appreciate the time you have taken to answer my questions. My age being 68 may well put a damper on how much I can do I guess but I am glad that we have been able to chat. Leon

Gooday Kiwibru, Thanks for providing me with your experience with forage. How was your experience with the Walagri baler tarnished by making bales and using a separate bale wrapper? Was your moving to a baler wrapper unit more of a time saving item rather than having to go back on the...

I am wondering out loud here, could a fodder feed like the hydroponic fodder grown in the farmtek fodder growing system be dried, injected with a preservative while baling it in a Wolagri round mini baler and then wrapped in plastic and safely fed to livestock?

If the slope is above 15 degrees horizontal it is much safer to mow down and back up to mow in the lowest speed with R-4 tires. You would want to have loaded rears and a front weight kit to allow you to have adequate traction while backing up. The problem is your tires; you really need R2 Ag...

Where are you in relation to the Truckee web cam at the inn across the street from the 76 station and the double track owned by Uncle Pete?

You should be fine as the circuits 12 volts like your mules electric system.

About the wiring; You need alligator test clips with wire to check each circuit. You also need heavier wire as most all the lights on trailers are LED sets with low power demand. For now you can simply use wire nuts and electrical tape to make the wire run longer wrapping the wire nuts in...

It did not sound as if he was buckled in when it rolled over and he was thrown from the cab.

You have two 3-position momentary contact switches with the middle position always providing 12 volts to the 2 functions that are either on or off. If the wires to the electric motor and linear actuator are still intact you can use 2 sets of alligator clips and a 12-volt lamp to identify each...

I would not use the lexan or plexiglass if the windscreen is a sandwich of glass/plastic sheet/glass like automotive windshields. The glas shop will help you where curtis will not.

That seems very odd as the glass place could cut and drill plexiglass or window glass and also correctly cut the edge of the plexiglass to fit the gasket and frame using a router if it requires a specific edge to mate with the gasket. A big auto glass repair place should be able to do this...

Before you open your wallet I want to make your life easier; DO NOT use the standard auger unless you have sandy soil. Invest in a tree transplanting auger to do this as the tapered transplanting auger will eliminate the stress that the compacted soil will create against the auger as it...

You need a dust bowl precleaner. Kohler may already have one but this one is 2". It has to be mounted vertically or it will not create the cyclone speed to spin the dust out of the air stream

Please be careful clearing the slash, I don't want to worry about you making a yowie on a walkabout mad my friend.

The only way you will avoid mud and grass sticking to the inner flail mower shroud is to line it with UMHW slick sheet material and secure it with short carriage bolts, nylock nuts and flat washers with the carriage bolt heads mounted on the inside. The only way painting will work is if the...

I don't have your machine, but candidly it sounds as if they used a coarse thread grade 2 bolt to attach it to the tractor's engine cradle side plates instead of a Grade 8 fine thread bolt washers and fine thread grade 8 nut securing it with red loctite and a torque wrench using the recommended...

With your Nuffield BMC 9/16 tractor with the 540/1000 PTO the snow blower will work fine you just have to be sure to grease it, check the drive chains and check the oil more often.

If the oil cooler has no steel tubing connected to it you are stuck with a very bad oil leak and they need to come and pick it up. I know that is not what you want to hear but unless you have a very warm tractor shed to work with you need to have them pick it up today and see about a...

Stone burriers operating in rocky desert land being converted to crops is what is happening there.

The roller bearings and roller chain will tolerate the 1,000RPM PTO speed with no problems so you have no worries there. Just make sure you oil the chain often, grease the bearings every time you use it with a few pumps of grease and check the gear box oil level weekly.

It just creeped above zero here in Ithaca.

You should invest in a commercial 155 RAMMY single stage snow thrower and a new ATV or kubota rtv900 with a heater/defroster so you can avoid all that.

If it is anything like our old IHC and Wheel Horse plows you could pull the center pin and adjust the angle of the plow left or right up to 45 degrees.
