    Is Electric-Start Gas Trimmer a new concept?

    My wife saw and pointed out to me that Ryobi, Troy-bilt, and Craftsman (all MTB?) have models of electric starting gasoline powered string trimmer available. I'd spent half of yesterday cussin' at my Stihl FS80 that has been a big PITA this year. Like this: Ryobi Touch Start Gas Trimmer | Tool...

    Kubota TnT both side links powered?

    I'm interested in a dual hydraulic side link TnT for my B7800. I'd like to get maximum angles, mostly for my rear blade and ditch work along both sides of my graveled driveway that's near 1/2 mile long. I'm not sure it's doable since there isn't a lot of side link length available with the OEM...

    BH Hydraulics Available for use on B7800?

    What I mean is - when my backhoe is parked in the barn the feed and return lines for it are connected by QC's to form a loop and the ready-to-open line intrigues me as an easy source for TNT use or any other use by addition of spools and cylinders. However, I know that some tractors derive...

    Ballast  I need Front Ballast solutions

    I've got a Jinma that I can't drive with anything on the hitch. It's OK brushhogging our 4 acre field even though it steers with the brakes or like a battleship at sea but for any use where I need to steer better than that the front wheels are way to light to turn. I rigged up a mickeymouse...

    Jinma 254 Clutch is Harsh...

    By harsh I mean that even though adjusted to the specified clearances and pedal free play the clutch has a sudden nearly violent engagment at the top of the pedal travel. This is making fine manuevering in close quarters difficult. I am parking both tractors inside my smaller barn - once a...

    Price Check  Jinma 254 price?

    What's the best price imaginable for a new Jinma 254 25 hp tractor built in March, 2007? Is $6000. too high for an assembled, running machine with only 5 or 6 hours? I'm not trying to make a joke - there's a possibility that I may be offered such a deal as described but it seems too cheap when...

    Kubota Hydraulic Pump mount Bolt pattern?

    Does anyone know if Kubota uses a standard mounting bolt pattern for their tractor hydraulic pumps? Looking at various pumps sold in Surplus Cener I see a specification of "Mount: SAE A 2 bolt" most commonly, or "SAE B 2 bolt" for some. No doubt other mounting patterns exist. I'm wondering...

    How Much Bending will good hose take?

    I've got an installation that makes me a little nervous. when I curl my bucket full up/back the 1/4" hoses to my grapple are made to take a bend that would be tight enough to circle a 6" plate. I mean the diameter of a circle they'd make if bent into a circle would be 6" +/- approx. 10%. To make...

    Backhoe  LOOK at the Backhoe Reach!

    This plumb amazes me - the reach of the backhoe on this old Kubota tractor is easily five feet more than my BH75. The seller says that the hoe is made for his tractor, a B8200. Kubota B8200 Tractor w/ large backhoe/loader 4X4 Diesel - (item 140143496565 end time Aug-11-07 18:00:00 PDT)

    New HST Slipping??

    I'm not sure if I have a problem but four times when inching the tractor either forward or backward there has been a distinct lurch as I applied pressure to the pedal. No load on the tractor - simply moving into position to make hookups with the 3PH and to reattach the backhoe in situations...

    Ignorant First Question about adding Hydraulic operated Accessories

    I'd like to eventually add a backhoe thumb, a FL grapple, and turn and tilt contrl of my hitch. To me that sounds like four additional hydraulic circuits. The Surplus Center is featuring the valve shown in this link: Surplus Center Item Detail Would that valve be a good starting place and...

    Two Things about Diesel engines...

    1) Does anyone concern themselves about monitoring the exhaust gas temperatures generated by their diesel tractor engines enough to install an egt gauge? 2)Has anyone investigated the possibility of increasing the power (torque and horsepower) of their diesel tractor engines by changes to the...
