Feeding the pellet stove to keep the chill off. I'm down to less than 20 bags, and heat is still a good thing. That is about $50 off the going price over this past winter, but over $50 more than the my last buy. Wood fire still looks like a deal until the time and labor is added in. (Cut...

There is available a Kubota B7200 with mower deck and snow blower located in NW Michigan that I would consider having. I don't have a trailer for that load, so am looking for suggestions on reasonable options besides the DIY option of buying a trailer for the purpose. I have a utility trailer...

I looked at the BercoMac page, the TX25 did not appear. 2100 rpm mid PTO drive ....... Might need a tailored blower drive gear box.

I have been thinking of "upgrading" my trusty B7200. That size tractor fits nicely along with the other tractors I have, so there is bench mark. I tried looking through the Kubota web pages for the B series, but each tractor commands it's own pages, and I didn't see a "compare" function...

I'll always think of it as a Hobbs, but... The hour meter on my B7200 has been non-op since I got the tractor years ago. Has anyone ever seen these units brought back to life? I looked at it when I had the dash panel apart to fix the switch gear, but didn't get into it then. Now, I sort of...

I've got quite a pile of fallen tree limbs collected over a couple of years. Mostly maple, but some Hemlock. I'm in the processes of freshening the MacKissick chipper/ shredder, and anticipate going after that pile of dry and rotted stuff. Should The chipper knives be reconfigured?

Just for fun, I looked at the kubota "build your tractor" pages to build an L series tractor to replace my aging fleet. Base price looked very good , but by the time there was a FEL on the thing with required hydraulics, the out the door price had doubled. (30K for a 25 hp tractor) I need...

Getting ready for the "Big lock-up" tonight. 50 degree rain to 10 degrees over a few hours. With a front blade, the best I could to is back drag the gravel drives. I can hope for sunshine to make it all good again later.

The Bolens Ht-23 lawn tractor is fitted with a K series Kohler opposed twin engine. (23HP) It's getting some long of tooth, and lately has been sluggish to start. I'm thinking of trying to uprgade the spark generation if possible, as it frequently starts on one cylinder, runs that way for...

It's the little grade wheels on the York rake. I thought I put in tubes, but both wheels/tires are flat every time I pull the implement out. Looking at foam, but can't tell what is best. Mean while, the 1950 Fordson is setting on rubber fitted 50 years ago and still holds air just fine.

This fall has been a skunk revival in this area. They do a job on the beetle larva in the lawn, evident by the rooting and holes, as they meander their way on to the compost bin behind the car park. I've been fortunate, not more than a whiff of their presence this year. Seen them in the...

There is a hydraulic block /tap on the B7200 I have recently come upon. The handbook suggests that it is to be use when fitting a loader etc, and to be sure to move the switchable valve control back to the normal position when the implement is dismounted. I've had a look at the parts layout...

Engine control unit for SL&H 435 is described in the service manual as a YM-1B The one on my Hurlimann is acting up. sometimes it won't turn the engine off with the key turned to off, and the past couple of days, It seems to be turning the engine off after starting. (the problem does lessen...

I was doing a little "side yard logging" yesterday after dropping a 120 year old sugar maple this winter that was near the house and showing lower trunk damage. The maple fell about 15 feet "the wrong way", and fouled a few hemlocks etc. (nb That was 15 feet the RIGHT way relative to the...

There is usually a dip stick or a sight glass on every transmission (assuming that the fluid volume is also used for the hydraulics) I can see foaming and frothing problems for engines, or high speed automotive transmissions / automatic transmission. But for an eight gallon tractor system to...

I purchased a selection of components from one of the commercial members of this forum , that I might add a three spool loader valve in line with the aux hydraulics on my Hurlimann. The install went just fine, lots of tubing bending and fitting fitting ;-) Everything works very nicely with...

I did a quick search of the net. didn't find anything useful. Tooth count is not so important, just something "small" for #40 or #50 roller chain. References?

I live in Vermont, trees are part of the deal I've got a 35 hp 2500# MFWD tractor plus the FEL. with a 60"+ width, But might hang it off the Cat 2 2WD tractor from time to time What winch ? I'm thinking Farmi JL351P , I like the simplicity. Any better choices?

Just looking for something and stumbled upon this photo http://pictures.tractorfan.nl/groot/d/deutzfahr/571051-agrokid-deutzfahr.jpg Some sort of "smoothing" or compacting tool?

Has anyone done a study of what goes on? Seems like a blower should blow air if it's not filled with snow...but we all observe, this is not the case. Chutes choke...etc.. What would be the physics?

Around my lot, I have a situation where I need to break through DEEP snow. I have a useful arsenal of snow moving equipment, but still seem to think "there must be a tetter way". There is is a gentle down grade that gets piled with snow from blowing the drive. It's about 30 meters to a...

I wanted a hemlock stump "repositioned" to allow better movement from one area to another. The tree had been cut close to the ground 4 years ago after being hit by lightning (taking out the well pump!). suprising how "healthy" that 20" butt is still. Started with the Hurlimann as it has the...

They are out there! Just pulled one from my side. Must have jumped on yesterday. Look your self over carefully. (Have the wife do it, she will get a chuckel out of it, You too ;-)

Wanted to do it with stock on hand. I hate buying that Chi-com stuff fron TSC etc. I did end up buying the lift arm pins. They were so cute, I couldn't resist. (Sway bar pins IIRC) I also purchased the weld-in draw arm outboard ball ends. Drilled holes were just too clunky and hard to deal...

http://www.proplanta.de/Landtechnik/Landtechnik_Bilder/gebraucht-Lamborghini-runner-450-dt-Allrad_20130525155723_1.jpg Seems like the front rubber would be at odds with the steel rears. Nicve tractor though, It's a Lambo! ;-)

Just "looking for something" and came across this Mandako 3 point Hitches | North Country Marketing Seems like there have been some posts looking for such products. Or ideas to make up their own. cheers

R These youtube videos are seen. Looks like central Europe. But no mention of the indigenous burners for same. Some sort of gassifier perhaps. I'm interested, there is A LOT of that type of material available ;-) I'm curious about the burners that go with the choppers ...Tech for tech...

I've observed that many of the "European/ Industrial" blowers without end housings or external bearing supports at the outboard ends of a large diameter auger "shaft". The auger end it's self is a continuous disc. Any comments on the advantages of this configuration? Don't see it from any of...

I've got a Timber Wolf P1 log splitter and am considering fabrication of a log lift to ease the burden of handling large rounds. (I have been using tongs on the loader, but a lift seems so much better) The present set up is the typical "log splitter valve" with detent. What would be the the...

Helping the neighbor replace the clutch plate, pressure plate and throwout bearing on his B7100D (manual trans) The old friction plate went to pieces. The pins that hold the spring center to the friction plate failed. Mangled metal all over the bell housing. The repalcement parts were...

I recently added a three spool loader valve in a power beyond configuration. The former configuration supplied the loader through the Aux control valves. the entire tractor hydraulics is protected by a main pressure relief. The system is now: pump-- power steering via priority valve-- the...

Sorry, no photos But I was having some gravel delivered this moring to finish off the road repairs after the last wash out. (private drive serving 7 homes) Worst I'ld seen in 25 years, while nearby areas saw no damage. Anyway Had the stakes driven to mark the desired new grade. The...

There is a piece of culvert that runs under the private road. IT's clogged! ;-) Stone and sand for 34 feet. Not near enough slope, and no catch basin to let hard material fall out (that's fixed now with a a bit of bucket work. Tractor content ;-)) How to clean out the 12 inch culvert? I'm...

Typical Vermont lands, Stone, ledge, stumps and roots at just about every turn. Cleaning up where the recent heavy rains did some rearranging next to the drive, Cut and fill on an as needed basis. The Hurlimann pulls the 7 foot back blade just fine at idle ;-) It's mostly sand washed from...

PRogress, Valve and plumbing in, System works as desired! I took photos while everything was exposed, but this morning my wife tried to move them.....vaporized Here are some "make up shots" as things are going back together. It's nice to have float on the boom, and the freed up aux ports...

I'm redoing the plumbing on the Hurlimann 435 The Allied loader has been connected to the aux ports in back via 15 foot hoses, and now I am putting on a three spool monobloc valve that will provide a float function. This is a single pump system with priority to the power steering. fluid...

MacKissic chipper shredder (the big one) The chipper knives are easy to tell, big stuff quites self feeding. What are the symptoms of dull shredder blades? (free swinging) During the wash down after reshredding a pile of chippings, I observed that the blades ARE a bit rounded. Still...

Agriline in the UK appears to offer the anatolian kits, But I would prefer not to buy and sell at such distance Anatolian does not answer e-mail inquiry, so I don't know what to do there. But they "list: a kit that is "almost" bolt on for my needs. I'm NOT looking for a a power steering...

I'm thinking of putting PS on the E27n . Lot's of references here on this forum, but the links and a search return bogus sites. I've used an Anatolian unit on a LONG with good results, just looking for options. Others?

It seems I live in an industrial desert here in S, Vt. I have not been able to locate a supplier for 1/2 inch steel hydraulic tubing within 60 miles. (there must be one, but where?) Saw an Ebay listing for 3/8th line, and followed the sellers page, but no 1/2 inch shown. I would buy the...

I'm putting a dedicated 3 spool monoblock control valve for the Allied 195 loader on a Hurliman 435. Freeing up the pair of Aux ports that come on this model tractor. I picked up a nice Lamborghini valve at a great price to do the job. The valve has all the features (float for instance;-) and...

Perhaps this is covered by commercial sponsors of TBN. If so, Please point me in a useful direction. I'm to the point that I need the many and several assorted fittings to install a three spool loader valve, on the Hurlimann 435, and so free up the pair of Aux ports. There seems to be a HUGE...

About 65 foot tall hemlock. It had been showing signs of weakness. and broke off about 16 feet up the trunk. Limbed and bucked it this AM, and this afternoon my wife and daughter did the dragging while I fed the MacKissick Chipper/shredder. The Hurliman 435 ran through about 5 gallons of...

I posted this in the "Build it yourself " forum, but thought some of the folks here would get a kick out of it. Snow blade on an E27n All is good Cal

Don't know if this should go in the antique section, the make it your self, or the humor pages. but i thought with winter on it's way, I would give the old gal some chores to look forward to. The fordson is a 1950 E27n, I've had her for better than 35 years. (How that rubber holds up is...

There are many possible configurations for boom poles fitted to 3pth The commercial offerings all seem to require the use of a top link. However, the design offered by the University of N.Dakota Ag department shows a design without an additional free pivot top link. The "derrick" I've been...

I have an older B&D 4 1/4 inch hand held grinder. The spindle is 10mm X 1.5 mm. I have yet to come across cup wheels for these small grinders. Seems like everything is mounted 5/8-11. I picked up an adapter at one point, but ended up being 10 X 1.25 internal thread with the 5/8-11...

to add a three spool PB valve to a system originally fitted with a pair of Aux valves and a TPH, I am considering cutting the pump output line, and running new lines to and from a three spool Open center DCV with Power beyond . good plan? seems too simple ;-) A third line , drain to tank...

I would like to add a three spool valve assembly to replace the auxiliary connections that power the FEL on my Hurlimann Prince 435. The third valve would be an "extra"for expansion. The built in Aux hydraulics has no provision for a float position, and that's a pain for loader work. I have a...

I have two tractors, well three if you count the Bolens HT23. Both the Fordson E27n and the Hurlimann Prince 435 have two pin Auxiliary electrical sockets fitted from the factory . (They are different however). These are smallish sockets, about an inch in diameter, plugs for extra lights...

With the plan to add a three circuit monoblock directional control valve to allow float function and an extra line when needed on an Allied loader fitted to my SL&H Prince 435, I have the need to understand what is going on inside the valve. First, my suppositions: A spool valve of open...
