I've never heard of this before. I wonder what the results would be from a rifled shotgun barrel? Either way, pushing the plastic hull through the forcing cone can't be a good idea. The lost art of "Cut Shells" - YouTube

I've got a Farmtrac/LS 360 4x4 tractor with FEL and backhoe (16" bucket). I need to lay about 100 feet of black water pipe. I've got two sets of remotes with around 8GPM flow. I'd really like to do the work myself, but I don't know what implement to buy/rent. Ideally I'd like to rent an...

Getting ready to change the hydro oil in my gear drive 360DTC. I checked the owners manual for a strainer/hyrdo screen but it doesn't mention one. There must be a screen to filter out any big chunks somewhere! Anyway, I've got the new filter and fluid, last item is to locate the screen and find...

I've got two sets of remotes, flow is around 8.5GPM. Has anyone ever seen a vibrating roller attachment for a CUT? Building a dam in 12" lifts, it sure would be handy to rent one.

He wasn't interested in chatting so I left him alone. He's bigger than he looks in the pic.

I've been looking for a 22lr revolver that I can take on the tractor & 4 wheeler and not worry about damaging it....think I might have found it. I've got S&W 17's, single sixes, kit guns etc but they are all too nice! I came across a 3" bbl, aluminum frame High standard R-101 for a very cheap...

Looks fast but i'll bet it can't keep up with a decent snowmobile.

07' 680cc Fuel injected liquid cooled 4x4. Sure is a step up from my old 350cc Rancher. My only complaint is I wish it was geared lower. No low range. I like the auto tranny for general riding but it lacks the low gearing I'm used to having with the Rancher. I suppose I'll use the tractor more...

Found this wheel in the woods and brought it back to my camp. Ripped a eastern red cedar log in half for the upper and lower rail. Primed and painted the wheel. It's 4' x 4'. Added some copper cups for the "chuck wagon" look. Rustic but functional.

The toplink attachment point on my 360 (it has three holes) is slightly loose. I'm not sure if it's supposed to float slightly for the draft position adjustment sensor or not. Doesn't make sense to me, but I've been wrong before. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

Not my pics, but excellent none the less. Looks to be a S&W 17/K22 and a good lookin' wabbit.

Ever seen a Bush hog like this? Offset. PIC FIXED This one can offset to one side. Pretty neat idea. Would certainly help when doing ditches, but I don't know how stable the machine would be.

She's a beauty ain't she? Locks up tight as a vault. Trigger (DA) is smooth as silk, no stack or hitches. Points like an extension of my hand. Picked it up locally last week. It's the holy grail of S&W's (for me). Been after one for awhile. I'm still a big fan of the 586's but the 15's are pure...

Picked up a 1985 Golden 39A on Friday. The stock grain pattern reminds me of the pattern on a copperhead snake. This thing shoots excellent. Put half a Federal value pack through it this weekend, no problems whatsoever. Very accurate, as expected. After shooting and carrying my TDS clone so...

The idea looks sound for peat bogs and the like. btw, the video is pretty funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E6q-m1tLn8&feature=player_embedded#!

.410 3" or 45 LC. Looks like it's no fun to shoot. Would be handy to dispatch rats and snakes off the tractor when bush hogging.

90HP track steer with Felcon mulching head. 4.5 hrs of work. I'm pretty impressed with how much work that thing can do. Next project is pond digging, but it may be next year before I can get the scratch together. He mulched some large tree's, larger than what the head is supposed to handle with...

Backhoe stabilizer, dipper and boom cylinders drift down after a day or so. Using the transport tabs isn't an option. I'd like to use check valves to hold the boom and stabilizers where I put them. Any reason i can't do this?

Planning for a Hydraulic top link- 18.5" to 30" at longest. 5/8" bore for 40 HP CUT? My cat1 toplink is 18.5" at it's smallest and 30" at it's longest. I'd like to replace it with a hydraulic toplink. Will this one work? It's 18" at smallest with a stroke of 12", so 30" at it's longest, same...

Anyone notice the LS backhoe models don't spec how wide a bucket they come with? I've been looking for a trenching bucket for my Farmtrac 4008 backhoe for quite some time. Anyone know if the buckets are interchangeable? I know it's a long shot since the Farmtrac backhoe's were made in Tarboro...

I got $100 in gift cards for Northern Fool and I'd love to buy a Hydraulic cylinder to use as a toplink. I've got remotes already, just need the cylinder and the hoses. Looking at the website, I can't find any cylinders that have the correct ends. Anyone know if NT carries what I need (without...

Just makin' sure it works! YouTube - New target stand- AR15 w/ Wolf ammo. My buddy shot a small buck at my place last night. The adjustable skinning rack worked great as always.

Rent skid steer auger for FEL on compact, anyone done it? Need to do 200 fence post holes. I have a PTO type PHD, but I'd love to use a skid steer Sun belt rental type unit. My FEL will accept skid steer attachments. I have two sets of remotes and a local shop to make the hoses and couplers...

I need to selectivly log 25acres of NC bottomland. I'm trying to get some idea's together for the equipment. I'd love to twitch the logs out like a skidder does. My 3pt will lift 2976 lbs. I'd like to mount the winch on the rear of the tractor. In theory, I would winch the logs to the rear of...

I've got a 16" bucket on my BH. I'd like to have a smaller bucket. The hoe just doesn't have the power to use the 16" bucket in hard soil. I primarily dig stumps and rocks and a smaller bucket would work much better. Did the folks in Tarboro make any buckets other than he 16" before the doors...

I've got a gallon jug of outboard 2 stroke oil that I no longer have the outboard for. Can I run the TC-W (w=water cooled) 2 stroke oil in my air cooled 2 stroke engines? I know TC-W is made for water cooled engines, but will it hurt my air cooled chainsaw engines?

I need a trenching bucket for my 4008 BH. Farmtrac offers a 12" on their website, but I'd really like a 9" if I can find one. Does anyone know of a 9" bucket that will fit? Are backhoe buckets for compact tractors typically universal fit or brand specific? I should have researched this a bit...

Took this little spike last evening at my hunting cabin. I've been trying to hold out for his big (8pt) brother, but the old boy isn't cooperating. It's handy to have an adjustable skinning rack. .223 through the lungs, never knew what hit him.

When i ordered my 360 DTC I specified the skid steer quick attach bucket option. Can anyone tell me for sure how to tell if I got it? I'm not familiar with skid steer attachments. My bucket is held (on the bottom) by two hand levers. I'd like to swing by the local rent-all and browse the skid...

There is a Kioti LB1914 for sale in my town (Durham) for a very good price. 142 hrs. 4x4 & comes with scrape blade & FEL. I can put you in touch with the private seller if you're interested.

Was doing some light loader work this weekend when the gear selector lever on my FT360 quit working. The selector lever is attached to an extension (down inside the dash) by a pin that apparently sheared. I can't shift gears anymore. I was able to drive home in 4th gear, med range. It was a slow...

Found the below ad on Craigslist. The ad states it's made by Taylor. I searched the interweb and cannot find Taylor's website. The seller is asking $4000 for the unit. Can anyone tell me more about these units? It appears to be a 3pt hitch, running off a pto pump. I've got three farm ponds that...

Found a great deal on a Lowe trencher attachment that goes on a skid steer. My tractor has a quick detach (skid steer compatible) front loader bucket. The trencher wants between 10 and 20 GPM. I can get a prince pto pump that makes 21 gpm @540 rpm. The remotes on my tractor (FarmTrac 360 TLB)...

I'm a little confused by the terms. Is a disk the same as a harrow? For example, when someone says they "disked" a field, did they use a disk harrow or some other implement?

Brought home a Northern fool 3pt splitter last week. So far I've only got one issue...how does the ram auto return work? (so far it doesn't). I've got the hoses set up right (push/pull) and all seems to work fine, except the cylinder auto return. The website specs: Automatic Cylinder Return: Yes...

Man called a few mins ago wanting 20 acres of knee high grass mowed. Said it was all level, no tree's and no junk piles. I told him $60 per machine hr and I can do about 1 acre per hr, faster if I feel it's safe to do so. He said that was outragous. I suggested he call around, then look into...

Not mine, just figured I'd pass it along. Guy says the engine was stolen! 2000 Kabota L3300 w/ loader

Stolen from another board. This happend in Gaston County NC. The retaining wall let loose. Notice the last pic, all the glass is broken. Hope the operator is OK.

Tilled up a 50x50 food plot. Tiller worked great. First time I've used it. Very happy with the outcome. I broke the sod up with the BB w/rippers set all the way down, then tilled it. The only issue with the tiller is the slip clutch. It pretty rusty, I dought it's working.

Bought a 26 gallon broadcast/spot sprayer today. The intermittant duty pump draws 7 amps. I'm not sure of the alternator output but I think its around 275-300 watts. Will this sprayer shorten the service life of the alternator?

What a cool Tractor. Anyone know what it's primary use was? 1948 Allis Chalmers G "Spider" Restored

Based on posts by other members, it sounds like some dealers routinely pass service bulletins along to the customers. Is this common practice or just exceptionally caring dealers? Case in point, the Farmtrac Mitsubishi 300/360 diesel "inner" air filter is no longer needed. A service bulletin...

I've seen a few FT360 owners post about the hazard lights not working on thier tractors. I went on the road yesterday and needed them, but they don't work. I knew about this already, but did nothing because I never needed them. The machine is under warrenty, but before I bother the dealer...

Been on Hwy 85 and 95 in NC/VA all this week. Put a few miles on the work van. I don't know if it means anything, but I saw 5 trailer loads of New Holland tractors- and NO loads of any other brand. If it was just one load of NH I would not have noticed...but FIVE loads all at different times...

Just got it on Saturday. Ready to roll to the ranch! Rode all day Saturday, had a blast. This coming weekend I've got to open up some old fireroads. Lots of fallen tree's to cut out of the trails.

Just a braggin' pic. The Glock 22 is my "fun gun" but it doubles as a rust/dust/bang around gun for when I'm tractoring. Its nailed a few possums and other various rodents that needed to be quickly dispatched.

I've learned alot about BB use on tbn so I figured it's time I bought one and leveled out some hight spots in my hunting cabin driveway. This is a medium duty unit, 6'. The price was $400, bought from a local individual. I've already found that it needs more weight to scrape the sandrock/hard...

Can someone explain (in laymans terms) to a fairly new tractor user what the Automatic Draft and Position is used for? My FT 360DTC has two levers where the 3pt hitch adjustment lever is. One lifts the 3pt up, what is the other one for? So far I've not used it for anything. If I knew its purpose...

The Farmtrac 785 4wd states Front & Rear Mechanical Differential Lock as a feature. Can anyone explain to me how it works? Does it actually give true 4WD? Is this a common feature on tractors this size? (85hp)

01' 2500 HD 4x4 (happy 33rd B-day to me!) Tow package, loaded except for leather. Drives like a dream come true. I REALLY like the fully adjustable heated seats. Super comfortable for my aching back. It should haul my tractor and other tools without a problem. It's a 6.0 gasser automatic. It's...

I think apples to apples would be a Woods BH80-X. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I am posting this because of my dissatisfaction with the FT 4008 model BH. I have spoken to a few other 4008 owners who are of the same opinion. The BH is weak for its size. My BH goes into system relief very...

Bought a used Honda Eu2000i genny off Craigslist this past weekend. The older man that owned it purchased it for RV camping but always had an AC hookup so it didn't get used. So far, i'm impressed with it. Runs the fridge and all the lights without a problem. Fridge draws 560 watts constant and...

Just a heads up to the FT DTC owners, noticed yesterday that on full right turn (near wheel lock) the rear of the right front tire catches/rubs the FEL hydraulic hoses. My tires are R4's. R1's may be slightly taller and more prone. If it catches just right, it'll rip the hoses off the...

The bar that resides on the bottom of the rear axle (swinging draw bar?) has holes in it. It can extend out for additional turning radius. I know that most farm trailers have the female end for connecting to the bar. Lawn tractors have a similiar connecter. I'd like to hook a chain to this bar...

The more I read here the more questions I end up with...its a vicious cycle![:)] Alot of other CUT owners talk about crab walking thier tractor with the backhoe/FEL. I've got a FT360 w/BH and it won't even come close to lifting the rear of the tractor. The rears are oversized and loaded. Should...

Anyone ever used one of these? Looks like its for clearing land more than splitting wood.

Ha! I've been downsizing the tree rat population with CB caps from my .22 and as much fun as that is, its time consuming. A friend suggested I put a rat trap or two in the tree with some peanut butter.... Of course I had to try it! Screwed the rat trap to the tree and set it. It didn't take...

Anyone own/use a Flex point weight bracket? I've got the Northern tool copy of the flex point and I've been looking for methods of adding additional rear weight. It looks like a great way to do it, although removal seems to require lifting each weight off the bracket, which may be a hassle. I...

Has anyone used the Northern fool 3pt log splitter? It specs 11gpm Hydro fluid flow. I'm not sure my remotes give that much flow. My FT 360 Has 8.1 GPM flow at the "implement pump" and it has two spool valves/remotes. With another 4.1 GPM flow for steering. Are my hydraulics underpowered for...

Building a hunting cabin in the NC woods and have been shopping for a stove for some time. After wrestling with airtight/boxstove decisions I've finally found the one I want. Drove from Durham to Rocky mount last night and picked one like this up for $200. It needs some new firebricks and stove...

Been considering using some acres to plant tree's for lumber. Primarily considering Black walnut. It already grows well on alot of my land, so I know I've got the soil for it. It is supposed to be the most valuable lumber in N. America. This would be a 15-18 year project, to be harvested near...

PTO shaft universal joint is ruined on the mower end. Shear bolt broke, needle bearings in the universal went everywhere. Metal near the shear bolt hole cracked. No hard impacts have occured with this unit. I've had it since new, and its only got 4 hrs on it. Pics to follow.

I got my little Farmtrac stuck last weekend and I was feeling pretty dumb for doing it. Then I found this pic! I don't feel so bad now!!! :)

I found this on craigslist. I don't know the person, but it sounds like a great deal w/implements. Figured I'd pass it along. Tractor

Built and put up trusses last weekend. Put up some sheathing this past weekend. Its coming along slowly.

I seem to be missing the glove box or tool storage area. Has anyone found one laying on the side of the road in NC? The tractor is brand new so the dealer may take care of it. :)

My little lawn tractor has seen better days and I'm tempted to get a mower for my FT 360DTC. It has the BH frame mount. Does FT or anyone else make a MMM that might fit? If not, then I'll be getting the finish mower, but its worth a shot.

Looking at siding for my hunting/get away cabin. I'm thinking about using the insulated siding. Its pretty new on the market, but all comments about it seem to be really positive. Has anyone used/installed this stuff?

New Farmtrac 360TLB. My first backhoe (4008). BH has less than 10 hrs on it. I've figured out the "technique" of curling and lifting at the same time. It just feels to me (and others) that the hoe goes into fluid bypass way too easily. Alot of times even taking a full scoop of packed dirt will...

Dealer will deliver my new 360TLB this evening. I'm pretty excited. Never had a backhoe before so I'll be sure to dig lots of holes first. I've already marked where my new ditches will be. Will post pics and comments soon. I was telling my buddy about it and his son asked "How fast will it go?"...

Montana website has a tree shear that fits on the front end loader. Looks mean as heck, but how does one ensure the tree doesn't fall the wrong way? Will the hydro powered shears really snip a tree off clean?

I'm concerned with overall width/stance for the sake of stability on slopes. I've ordered a new 360TLB with the largest industrial tires and will load them. The farmtrac website states the rear width is adjustable from 43.5 - 53.4 with 7 positions. Can anyone confirm that I can get that width...

Farmtrac.com website says three year warrenty. Please contact your local dealer for detailed information. Why would they not publish the detailed warrenty info? Sounds kinda fishy. So to the Farmtrac dealers and owners, what does the warrenty cover? Drivetrain/engine etc?

Can anyone ID what is causing my apple trees to defoliate? The leaves get these orange spots then turn brown and die. This is the second year of this same affliction. My poor little trees are really taking a beating.

Going to pull the trigger soon on either a L4400 or a 4530 Mahindra. Will be used for woods work, dirt work, bushhog, box blade and possibly a frame mounted hoe. I plan to use this machine alot for the first few years, then taper off. I just sold my JD750 (miss it already!). I'm in NC. The Bota...

Need some wheel spacers for my narrow arse JD750 CUT. I have the R1 tires with the tall/narrow rims. Local JD dealer tells me that Deere doesn't offer such a part. Anyone got a source or a drawing I can bring to the machine shop? Searched the forum here but found zip. I need a wider stance for...

Looking for idea's on a way to mount a scoped rifle (.22 WMR, 30-30, .223 etc) to my tractor. Needs to be in a location I can get to it fast, but still out of the way. I've got a nasty pack of wild dogs running around that really need to be put down. They are alot like yotes, in that they are...

Is the 11GPM pump spec right for the 5500? The Kubota and JD shows 17.1. If I intend to use the remotes, is this enough of a difference that I might notice it? I've heard that the Mahindra has a seperate pump for the steering and that is subtracted from the total GPM, is this correct? I'm...
