I keep seeing the lift stands for riding mowers that lift the front up by the front tires so you can access underneath safely. Some are hydraulic pump up and others seem to be a leverage lift up. What can folks tell me about these and who makes a good one.

Has anyone tweaked their tractor to get a bit more power. (turbo, blower, better air flow, tweaked the pump) Just wondering what might be done. I am not looking to enter a tractor pull, just to overcome the bogging in high range when going over a few hills in transport mode. Thanks PS I also...

I just received my 91798450 Pro GT garden tractor. Its the 26 HP Kohler with 54" deck. In looking up the 3 bin bagger Sears # 24917 I noticed various reviews. To those that have this bagger, does it work? I have never used a bagger before, just the sweeper. I am also getting the sleeve hitch...

Just got done computing this years cost per bale - $6.08.:eek: I had a lot of material and equipment repair costs to refurbish the older equipment - learning I should have bought newer. I did not include my near new equipment as it was a 719 write off against my other income and taxes owed. I...

My seat on my Bobcat CT235 (Kioti CK35 clone) is badly cracking. I am looking for a replacement with fold up arm rests and better bolster support. I have the deluxe spring cushion seat with the safety sensor mounted in the center on the base. In looking at the Kioti, it appear you have a similar...

My seat is cracking badly as posted last year. So I am looking for a replacement with fold up arm rests and better bolster support. After pulling my seat and looking it appear to have a special hole where the safety switch goes, and some of the replacements I have looked at do not. Has anyone...

Just a note of thanks to you Kioti owners for helping me out on getting a second rear remote for My Bobcat CT235 with a float feature. Bobcat does not offer a second remote with float, but Kioti does for the CK 35 which is the twin for my unit. The Kioti second remote kit, Part # 322027, does...

Well my 35 year old sears GT garden tractor is finally wore out. Looking at two new GT units First -2015 Craftsman Pro Series GT 54" 26hp Hydrostatic Kohler Elite Garden Tractor made by Husky with a 54" deck and quick attach blades. On sale for $2700 Second 2015 Husqvarna GT52XLS - appears to...

For those that want a second rear remote with FLOAT, Kioti has a valve that fits our tractors. I installed it on my CT 235, but I believe it will fit others that have this same frame. The Kioti second float valve kit Part #322027 fits perfectly. I actually had the dealer install as I was...

Looking at a new GARDEN tractor to replace my old Sears GT twin that is now 25 years old and stopped running. Has bad blow by, uses oil, and fuel pump is not available any more. I was looking at the Sears GT with the 54" deck and 26 HP kohler 7000 series engine and realized the Husky is the twin...

I started a thread in the Hydraulics forum on the front hydraulics install on my Bobcat CT235. Hope it helps. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/333045-bobcat-ct235-front-hydraulics-install.html

Well I finally got around to a bit of work today after the rain/snow the past few weeks. I am adding front hydraulics for the rear of my CT 235 to run a hay grapple. Some will say why did you not go with a 3rd function set up on the loader handle, but pricing made that a bit of a stretch for me...

I am looking at moving some trailers around with my compact tractor. I will be at the max weight I can supposedly handle and then some. This will be for parking and possibly getting some hay put up if my tractor can handle it. There have been posts about trailers pushing small tractors around...

Anyone have one of these and how well is it built? Tractor Trailer Hitch Gooseneck Receiver 3 Point Hay Attachment My intent is to use the tractor to haul my 23' PJ GN trailer around as I go pick up hay. Roads are flat and I will go slow. With hay grapple on the front of the tractor I can go to...

Folks - looking for some help. Does anyone have the part number for the second rear remote kit that has the float option for the CK 35 HST. I believe Kioti offered this in the past, while Bobcat did not. I have the Bobcat Clone to the CK 35 HST. I am running some hay equipment that needs to be...

Looking at several pieces of equipment that have hydraulic cylinders plumbed as single action. If I understand my rear remotes correctly, by using only one port, pushing the lever one way forces the fluid into the cylinder, and pulling it back would force against the plug (unused port), but...

I tried searching this, but did not find what I am really looking for. Question - is there a better material to choose for hydraulic fittings, and are there brands to stay away from. I have been looking at a lot of pictures on running my hoses and fittings for my grapple, but I keep seeing...

Over in the hay forum under this post, http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/haying/326954-hydraulic-cylinder-replacement-gage-rod.html , I got a great suggestion on how to complete my project. I have been looking at a lot of web pages for the cylinder pictured, but I am having no luck. Any...

In several post during my search there has been a reference to a post where someone just replaced the gage rod on and IH 1300 sickle mower to get bar lift. I know Rowes make an adapter set to do this, but it seem complicated. I in my searches I cannot find the post with the details. Can the...

My Kuhn's hay grapple showed up today...Santa Came Early. Now I need to have hydraulic hoses made up (or bought on-line) to go from the rear remotes to the front of the loader arm, a set of quick connect couplings, then a set of shorter hoses to the grapple unit hydraulic cylinder. At the...

Been moving a lot of dirt this past week - about 20 hours work - to install new irrigation pipe. When I park the tractor over night I curl the bucket and park it edge down. The next morning when I fire up if I happen to hit the down stick for down pressure. or back up forgetting to raise the...

Does anyone know of any actual testing of the PTO HP for our tractors. Looking to check the specified 26.5 HP against actual testing. Second question, is there a way to up the PTO hp by adjusting pressure, etc. Thanks

Is anyone using their CK35 HST to pull a baler or hay with? if so what equipment are you using. Thanks - Keith

I would like to get equipment to do small haying project in my subdivision which consists of 40 - 3 acre lots. Tractor does...

Reason I ask is if I have a baler behind and stop too fast I do not want to break the internal drive shaft. IE have the baler momentum come back through the tractor?

Anyone here use their CT 235 in small custom hay production? I am headed in that direction for some fun and something to do in my retirement I have picked up a good IH 1300 sickle mower for cutting (9 foot model), and will soon be getting a side delivery rake (either JD 350 or Ford 503) I know...

I found what appears to be a good used 9 foot IH 1300 sickle mower. I think it is overpriced as it is missing the end grass guard assembly and rear safety shield for the drive belt. They are asking $1750 It appears to be a mid model production with a serial number 312XX series. Grass guards are...

What can I say but :D:D:D Spent about 4 hours seat time with my 74" Terraforce (Ansung) tiller behind my CT235 preparing my pastures for replanting. Absolutely a dream. This ground has not been worked in over 30 years and probably more per the folks that live around here. I am reworking hay...

Ok folks in my quest to find a good used sickle mower I have run across numerous brands. I then started looking at parts availability in my area. For the NH 451 it痴 a piece of cake. I found the same for the John Deere as wall as Case IH. Frontier is also available through JD. However the off...

I have a near new Bobcat brand 3RC60 rotary cutter in near new condition with 2 new spare blades that I am thinking of selling. What is it worth? Not finding many to compare too. So far I'm finding prices in the $600 to $1K range. I want to get a good belt driven sickle mower in the 5 to 6 foot...

I am looking to get a new or used sickle bar mower and rake for small hay production. The guy I currently use for my 3 acres has an old 6ft IH brand, but it wont fit my Bobcat CT235 due to the PTO adapter being different. He is getting out of the small acreage cutting, but if I cut and rake he...

I want to add rear hydraulics to my CT235. Does anyone know the correct Bobcat part number? Thanks

The vinyl has cracked on my seat - only 3 years old. Are there good covers out there or better replacement ones?

After looking at a lot of brands a lot of them seem similar - same trans, just different paint. I know John Deer makes most of their own, but who currently makes Craftsman, Cub Cadet, and the rest. I thought I saw a post on this in the past, but cant find it. Trying to compare apples to...

How is this brand hold up for folks that have them - looking for long term use if possible. I found a used YJR062 for $1750 - still under warranty. Not sure if it is transferable. I believe they are Koren made. The Ansung YJR 062 tiller was put into rental service this spring. It is very clean...

Did some searching here but am still a bit confused. First - What kind or brand of trailers are you using to haul your unit (please no brand bashing). I have a CT235 I am guessing I need a 6K to 10K double axle unit to haul with any attachments. I do have filled GP tires which are bigger than...

Where can I get, and what should I get to do full service and repairs on my CT235 once it is out of warranty? I have done a bit of research and there seems to be several manuals for this unit, but not sure what I need. My owners manual is good - listed as for SN A9JY11001 and above, but what...

I am not a happy camper right now. First chance to get some real work out of the tractor other than cleaning the paddock and it fails on me. CT 235 sprang a leak at the quick connects under the foot board. The leak was behind the quick connect coupling on the hose side. I was able to tighten...

I had the tractor on a flat concrete drive today, known to be level. I noticed that one edge of the bucket contacts the ground first (about 1 to 2 inches (eyeballed from seat) before the other) Is there a way to adjust level across the bucket. I did check the dimensions of insert into the quick...

New twist today for my CT 235 After solving the water in fuel issue now this. Weather has been warm this week here in CO, about 50 today, so decided to clean out horse paddock running mid RPM no issue - tractor worked like a charm great power and loader response. This took about and hour. The...
