I ordered the MTL a few hours ago. The 72" is supposedly in stock, I'm afraid what I'll be told when I call though lol. It does look to have pretty decent construction and the price cannot be beat. Looks heavy duty, as you said the pins look like all greaseable with fittings etc. I'll update the...

This is a really good point. I was planning the grapple purchase like I would a bucket or rear blade - to cover the tires - but I don't need that in a grapple. I'm going to go with a 72". This saves some weight and also probably helps resale as a 72" would be more common.

I think I might try an MTL. It actually looks like fairly good construction for the money. Reading the reviews of MTL, it definitely looks like it may be an interesting order process though.

I am looking for a grapple for my Kioti RX7320, which is rated for 3300lbs lift at the pins to full height. I am primarily looking to move logs that tree services drop off, but would also like to do it for some mild clearing, occasional concrete chunk pickup, larger rock piles, etc. I am...

I don't think there are any suction pressure washers, you will need a pump. I don't believe simple gravity fed from a few feet is sufficient for all pressure washers. I would use a separate low pressure pump.

I can get pictures off my tractor tomorrow.

I had a Woodmaxx with a few issues. The chrome shafts looked too small and actually drooped when they had to hold up the mower. Woodmaxx didn’t bother responding to them. So I wrote a slightly negative review, which Woodmaxx promptly removed from their site. Seems like a crappy company. The...

RickB is right - not a single part returned from a Deere dealership via Google, and that doesn’t look like any Deere part number I’ve ever seen. Appears it’s a kit made by Steiner. That doesn’t mean you didn’t buy it from a Deere dealership - just that it’s not a Deere product. If you would...

I'm looking for a lighter duty snow blower for my RX7320. It seems that an 84" blower would JUST cover the tracks, but most of the 96" blowers I see are double auger and set up for 90hp+ tractors. Cost is also a factor. Most of my work involves plowing with the front blade, including the heavy...

Anyone have an idea of how much hydraulic flow I could expect from both the factory 3rd function valve, as well as the rear remotes? Obviously there's a "19.2gpm pump", and being stationary and a power shuttle there wouldn't be anything else using it when the post hole auger would be on, but how...

For the carry all, I had the perfect material - a new stick of 4x4x3/8" angle, 1/2"x3" bar, some leftover 4"x3" tube from when I planned on converting my L3650 to SSQA, and a C channel drop to round things out. I went with 48" long "forks", so 44" of usable length. It's basically an upsized...

2 new Cat 2 attachments! I already have a carry all for my 1025R, but the step up to the RX7320 means it's no longer "good enough". Despite having pallet forks for both tractors, I still find it very handy to have when the loader's not on or for doing other tasks. In addition, I use the big...

So, weirdly my factory 3rd function doesn’t look like anyone else’s here. New design already? The loader bracket is now orange and looks better IMO. But instead of it being hidden on the side, I have a fairly large bracket that says Kioti with the valve behind it. Odd!

I sold my NX6010 last month as it was a few years old, and I was ready for a brand new machine. I also only need it for the business now, and there just wasn't an easy way to legally "purchase" a personal machine right for your own business, so selling and the business buying a new one made a...

I saw that recently Messicks published another R4 vs Turf comparison, this time on slush/ice conditions, and found it pretty interesting. Tested | Turf vs R4 snow traction - YouTube I have R4s on my Kioti as I had planned on using it for serious dirt work/snow plowing, and chose to try turfs...

The back window of my 2015 NX got shot out by someone mowing nearby without a guard on, so I ordered the 2016+ back glass with the defrost wires built in. Has anyone done this upgrade? It's not plug and play according to Kioti as there is not a spot in the fuse box/etc. for it, but I am assuming...

I'm ready to buy a new tractor for yard work and lawn/garden stuff like pulling a small yard work trailer, pulling a dethatcher, sweeper, etc. I also think it's the best option to put a backhoe on it, as I'd like to be able to use it around the yard for bush planting, small trenches, etc. My NX...

I'm looking at a 2010 Bobcat S630 with 2300 hours. Every option including 2-speed, high flow, cab with AC, etc. Tires are newer, machine is clean and the pins are tight. Any ideas on pricing?

Looks great! I built a SSQA snow plow last year and sold it for $400 more than I had into it after the season was over. My plan was to build a new one this fall, but I didn't see any blades I really liked. So I have the rear dirt blade on and had to deal with the storm today... definitely...

I'd like a cheap tractor for hauling a small dump trailer (5000lbs?) on level dirt. The Ford _n series would be fine, except I need a single remote or the ability to add a remote easily for running the dump cylinder while retaining 3-point lift capability. Electric dump is not an option. What...

First off, I absolutely love my NX6010. But I'm looking at possibly moving into the city (long story) and while I would keep the property I wouldn't be here, so I would probably get a cheap old farm tractor. If we buy land up north as planned I'm looking at getting an RX. It's a 2015...

New 1 foot heavy duty blade I believe that is the same OEM that made my Frontier... they look very similar construction in some areas, and the Frontier blade is made in Mexico as well. Seems like a good price for a new 10' blade. Mine is very heavy duty.

I have yet to see this and I'm not sure why it doesn't exist. I have a few Cat2 quick hitch attachments, and lots of Cat1. The NX is kind of between the two. From my understanding, the lift-pin-to-top-pin spacing on both QH standards is the same, the only difference is the Cat2's are outboard of...

Got a Land Pride HR3572 for $465, and a Land Pride CR2572 straw crimper for $330. I've been using a KK 72" box blade which is way too light for the tractor, I know i could go to 7' or 8' but I think this is a good upgrade until I find a larger blade. How'd I do? I think the retail on the box...

Perhaps. But if I couldn't get it off with a wrench with the blade in the vise, it probably would have bent a nail that size and caused a big problem. This isn't a string trimmer head, but a brush cutter attachment for the string trimmer... looks like this:

Don't be nervous... it'll be perfect. The pump capacity is total flow, which is combined with the power steering... my NX6010 lists about 17 GPM but I think only about 10GPM is available for implements. Either way, the flow on the L3650 was more than sufficient and I didn't notice any change...

I threw this attachment for my subsoiler together pretty quickly just to see if it would work and lay some line I wanted to bury... I had about 220' of line to bury from my wireless internet project (which I used my tractor for) that has been sitting on my lawn since I set it up last year. I was...

I am looking to add about 2000' of fencing this year. My normal supplier of pressure-treated pine posts has discontinued selling them. They now offer only cedar. I found a supplier of higher-quality cedar posts as well, who is saying that the cedar posts last ~30 years... considerably longer...

I desperately need a new tractor for mowing... my D130 is on its last legs with a whopping 150 hours on it on its second K40. Perfectly flat ground. I have about 2-2.5 acres to mow, mostly open space. Looking at a X485 with 1200 hours. I know it's 15X the tractor, but is that a lot of hours for...

I already purchased it, just wondering if I got a fair deal. 3-point Glenmac Harley Rake T8 (carbide teeth, hydraulic angle) for $4500. Worth it? Also, should I sell my tiller and pulverizer?

Looking for a backhoe for my Kioti. The Woods specs out a bit better, but it's a bit more money than the Kioti I think (I only have one quote on the Woods) Opinions either way?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXPl6rKJZ5w Looks like a carbide-toothed Harley basically (though much slower spinning) with two vibrating plate compactors at the back. Seems to leave a really nice finish, though I bet the moisture has to be just right.

Any ideas how many GPM are available on one of the remotes? Thinking about running a Lowe auger and getting rid of my 3-point setup. Seems it'd be a perfect setup as I could keep the post pounder in back and auger in the front. Plus having the extra lift height would be great as I could put an...

I know how to search and there are 20 threads on this already, however all the links are broken and I haven't found another solution. I am looking for the 1/2 ag connector plugs/caps. I think there was an eBay seller that had them in groups of 12 sets (or 6 sets, 1 each cap/plug per color?) at...

An unusual project for a tractor I'm sure, but I couldn't live without it! I've lived at the same property now for 6+ years. I got it for a steal, so despite wanting a bunch of changes, I haven't been able to leave. One of the main issues though is that I work from home, and my Internet is...

I have a few posts I need to pound with my Shaver. I previously converted the valve to power beyond and inserted it into the power beyond between the loader valve and 3-point on my Kubota, but I still have the closed center plug. I'd like to attach it to a remote on the Kioti for simplicity. My...

Also, the Geo does not have any good place to mount skid shoes so I will have to weld them on. The first couple snows on gravel before the driveway freezes is a huge pain without shoes. (Shown is a 3-point attach but mine is SSQA and the 240)

I searched for this with no real results, here, Pirate, Google, etc. I only have about 70 hours on my tractor, but I somehow partially ripped a lug... no clue on what. It's a 2015 Titan and I'm surprised it'd get ripped so easily. Anyhow, I'd like to put it on so it doesn't rip the rest of the...

Kioti Fluid Reference PSB: This includes fluid capacities and fluid types for ALL Kioti US tractors.

A followup here for those it helps: I have a Kioti PSB which lists the following fluids for ALL Kioti tractors on the list as being acceptable for our transmissions. Kiotu UTF (duh) Exxon Hydraul 560 Exxon Torque Fluid 56 Pennzoil Hydra Tranz Mobilfluid 424 (manual also lists 423) BP TracTran...

I had to pick up a 1.25" pin for my rear blade at Fleet Farm today so I was able to take a look at what they had, as they have a pretty decent selection. The ONLY sizes they carry the pictured/requested pin in are toplink sizes, and Speeco calls it a Top Link Pin. They do not stock the clevis...

I am in the process of adding a 7-pin RV trailer connector to the back of my Kioti, so I can use a brake controller I have lying around and also activate the tail lights when I stop... as I do occasionally move it on the road with the tractor for some projects. While I'm at it, I'd like to add...

I currently mow about 3 acres of grass with a 42" Deere D130. I only had about an acre when I purchased it, but started mowing a new area, and then planted another acre of grass, etc. I do not have a whole lot of trees/etc to mow around, probably 15, total, but one acre is fenced in, another...

Planted some clover, as well as a forage mix... What is the tall plant above the clover? I sure have a lot of it.

The only picture I can find shows a top hook setup that's not that uncommon, but it's hard to see exactly how the bottom pin moves in/out. As anything that gets "stuck", you can apply PB Blaster or ATF/Acetone, let it soak, apply again, etc... add heat, and pound out with a punch and a...

It seems like it should be possible, but I haven't seen any dual Cat1/Cat2 quick attach hitches. All of my stuff is Cat1 except one item, and in the future I can imagine getting one more Cat2 but not much. It seems like it would be easily possible to have both on one unit?

I'm going to be building my own cultipacker, using some wheels off an old Leslie I have that previously used wood bearings. I found 1.75" solid hot roll is very inexpensive, so that's what I am going to use. I am a bit curious though why cultipackers have the wheels floating on the shaft, and...

Craigslist is certainly hit and miss. Got my 8' Frontier for $2000 which I thought was a fairly good price, it's a very heavy-duty blade. These babies I actually ran into in person at the local Habitat first, but then I later saw they were on Craigslist. Priced at $20 a piece, it was 50% off...

Is the Frontier RB2308 (8') too much blade for a NX6010? It has all three hydraulic functions, so I would need a 3rd remote. I am concerned it's going to be way too much blade for my tractor.

I purchased some pallet forks for the Kioti... my Bobcat ones were big and heavy and old, and wanted some that looked as nice as the tractor and were lighter... plus the brick guards. Drove over an hour to get them. Got home - they don't fit. I spent 15 minutes arguing on the phone with the...

There's something wrong there. That spacing is all pre-defined and specific to the category, you have some likely ****** or old implements if they are all notably different. The only thing that can vary a bit is the top link hole that's not part of the QA standard. If that's the case also...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH_E4gvuNeM Note the factory lower quick attach links? And the huge tires? Me want!

Has anyone had to modify factory quick attach openings? The ones on my Bobcat attachments (they're mint condition with few hours but from 1996) work great on Bobcats, but on my new Kioti the holes where the pins go are too small... I can't get the pins down and locked in. I have a bunch of...

This year, I was hoping to get a corn planter and plant corn... however for a few reasons it looks like that's not going to be an option. So I'm left with a bunch of ground that was weedy (now disced) that I would like to have some sort of cover crop to prevent the weeds from taking over again...

For anything too big for the tooth bar, I like the Grubber: Brush Grubber Brush Grubber Xtreme, Model# BG-11 | Weed Control Brush Removal| Northern Tool + Equipment For volume work, it's good to have someone with you to place it on the trees.

Just signed the papers and dropped off the money on a new 2014 NX6010HST cab. I pick it up tomorrow. Took a lot of consideration, but it was time for one new cab tractor so I can sell my Bobcat at some point. The NX-series is not perfect, but it's definitely a lot of tractor for the money. Will...

I'm looking at a new DK50... or rather, a new old DK50 with the Tier 3 engine. I am replacing my Kubota L3650, so I have something new with a cab, more power, and more loader capacity. I haven't really had a horsepower issue with my 3650 and it has over 4200 hours on it. I use a 6' gear-driven...

I am considering doing my driveway in concrete... but I've never done concrete before. I'd like to have the knowledge though. A good place to start seems to be a parking pad next to the barn. One idea I had is creating a tool for placing concrete that I would pull behind the tractor. Basically...

I got mine and am very disappointed... not sure if others had better luck. I have purchased from them before, and what I got also did not fit the quick attach without being reworked by a welder. I now have my own welder/plasma/etc., but these seem to be issues in the basic design. For...

I'm wondering who other than Titan sells quick attach brackets? I've been looking at a bunch of factory setups, and most seem to have more weldable area around the pins than the Titan... so I'm wondering if there any other products which have a bit more "room" to them. This is what I need...

If you have trouble finding them for a good price, I bought some for a steal last spring and am not going to use them. They come with their own galvanized bucket with 20 in it. I have either 3 or 4 buckets. I believe it'd be about $40-$45 per bucket shipped, if the product weight listed is...

I am looking to mount a 3/8 ISO ag connector in a panel, adding 2 remotes to my rear with holes for a third. I'm coming at it with 3/8" hose, which would plug right into the ag connector. (F connector, M hose.) Unfortunately, the panel is 1/4" thick, and being a tapered pipe thread it needs to...

Looks great! Can't help but think your voice in the video reminds me of someone though...

I bought a Mott 5' flail mower, fine cut, for $450 in great shape. Needs a new input shaft seal but other than that works wonders. I can finally safely mow my ditches now with the big tractor. Took a few passes (being a finish mower and all) to get it under control, but it should be easy as pie...

I'm looking to buy a used garden tractor, it will be used almost completely for mowing, however it will also occasionally pull a sweeper and heavy aerator (Bluebird TA12 48") and lawn roller. I have a D130 I bought just for mowing - it can't even do that. I have a White manual transmission I've...

We have a local guy who sells a ton of attachments cheap he picks up from auctions. 72" rock buckets for $550, 68" tooth buckets for $650, etc. They're all picked up at auctions. Unfortunately right now he's out of everything I need. Other sellers also pick up a lot of attachments (especially...

I'd like to add an electric PTO to the front crankshaft of my L3650, as well as install a magnet for a hall effect tachometer, since the mechanical tach is awful. Any ideas what spline it uses? It's the "fine" spline of the two, but I have no idea what that means or where to find a compatible...

This is on Craigslist right now: Blazer loader

I currently have a tractor and skid loader, but find myself much preferring the tractor for everything... it's simply much more ergonomic for me to get in/out, have loads in the air and get in/out, and most of what I do should be done with 3-point attachments. I'm strongly considering replacing...

I've seen a few builds recently with the "universal" rubber rake teeth, just a heads up they are available at Mills Fleet Farm for 20 for $29 until the end of the month. They come in a galvanized steel bucket. Seems like a good deal, especially if you are local to a Fleet Farm (upper midwest).

I'm considering building a 3-point lawn sweeper. I have a 42" tow-behind that works well, but it's too light-duty to last, it gets too heavy to be towed by my POS lawn mower, and when it fills with moist grass it's a pain to dump. The sweeping action/brushes/etc. is EXTREMELY simple, but works...

Just picked up a new old stock PS1572 for $2800 out the door! Full warranty/etc. Used a few times by the dealership for demos. I have a lot of grass to plant this year and it will come in handy. Anyone have one or use one before? How well does it work?

I am thinking of building a front hitch for my L3650. Not sure if it will be a full 3-point or simply custom at this point. One thing would be nice would be instead of just using a regular spool valve, having a "level valve" like the 3-point hitch has, so that I can simply move the lever to...

Here's a quick edit which shows the factory loader valve, and then the setup with the new remote valve added. A two spool valve is not much more than a single, so I'd get a 2-spool valve and plug the ports until you need it. (Or if you don't mind, plumb it now!) Factory loader valve: New...

I found a "good deal" (I think) on a 2002 John Deere 260 skid loader. It seems to have much better visibility and cab accessibility than the Bobcat, which is much harder to get into than the Gehl 6635 I had. (The 260/6635s are larger machines than the 773 so I am not faulting Bobcat) The Deeres...

My JD D130 need to be replaced this year, I knew it was a POS when I bought it but I needed something cheap and light to mow. There's a nice clean bx2230 with 550 hours on it for sale locally for $7k with the 60" MMM, which I'm considering. I need a much larger deck than the 48" as I now have...

For the longest time I have been filling the skid loader, tractor, temp heaters, etc. with 5 gallon diesel cans. I continue to say I will pick up a cheap farm tank, but put it off when I see a nice one for sale. I'm also not terribly impressed with the appearance and can't decide where to put...

It's difficult to say "yes it will be enough" or "yes it won't" without that picture. Alone, 1/2x3" bar stock will probably hold tens of thousands of pounds in tensile. The way you have it set up however, you put a lot of stress on the welds as well as the square tube. And you are contending...

Ignoring the fact that the thread is years old, you have not a bad idea. Though those rubber rollers compress VERY easily and do not last long under pressure. I'd go with one of the polyurethane ones or whatever they are.

I rented a John Deere 35C mini excavator, and while digging up a stump (not even using the thumb) the thumb's cylinder rod snapped, dumping oil all over. I thought it was very odd that it snapped when I was digging up little 1" roots and not even using it, but the company was nice and ordered...

Any preference with one or the other? The CountyLine is $1100 and 30 minutes away, the King Kutter is $1280 and 5 minutes away. The King Kutter has the flex hitch I may want, but the CountyLine looks like it's deck would be a bit stiffer having the top stiffeners. KK may be the OEM on both, or...

I've been dealing with a TON of confusion regarding tractor/skid loader/post driver hydraulics, and I think I've come to a consensus but want to make sure. My L3650 has three hoses that go to the loader - essentially a power out port, a "power beyond" that goes to the 3 point hitch and then back...

Kubota parts are astronomical... $300+ each for a tie rod end for my L3650 (35080-44640) and I need both. Is there any way to find an interchange for this? It's not as common as it has a female threaded sleeve to attach it to the male "tie rod joint". Also, are there any good places for used...

I bought a low hour (<500) Bobcat 773 and the previous owner has offered to sell the Bobcat 12 auger (that's the model #) with 12" bit (unrelated to the model #) for $600. The bit has replaceable cutting edges. I have a new SpeeCo 12" auger on my Kubota tractor, but I am thinking the price is...

I just bought the TSC post hole digger, and boy am I having fun. Goes through wet heavy clay like butter! One issue I have is drainage - of course the heavy clay does not dissipate well. Now that I have the auger, I was thinking about drilling about 10 12" drywells in the wet areas, filling...

I know this has been beaten to death, and I searched and researched before posting this but just want to verify my finding and have an additional question 1. It seems the general consensus is that the backhoes are relatively simple and reliable, but given the price point do have minor...

I just purchased a Kubota L3650 (40hp 4wd), and in the spring will be using it to level some ground and plant grass over about 1 acre as an extension to my current yard. It's currently farm field and is relatively heavy soil with lots of clay. There is not substantial leveling to do, it just has...

Looked at a little B7100 4x4 today showing under 400 hours on the clock. No deck. There is a BEEFY subframe attached to a very large hydraulic plow with up/down and side/side cylinders. The plow itself is a Bolens and looks like it was welded to a Kubota subframe that's quite beefy. The guy...

I have a Gehl 6635, which has a 2400lb operating capacity. I was planning on getting a set of dedicated pallet forks for the quick attach, but there are some 6000lb bucket forks on Craigslist. Are these any good? They're the Paynes HD's from Northern Tool. I can see that with my bucket and the...
