I used Rustoleum Massey Ferguson Grey Implement paint. I diluted it 10:1 with Naphtha. The sprayer worked great - Excellent coverage. the sprayer was easy to set up and adjust. I had a few runs, but I was hanging off a ladder, and not seeking perfection. I used a bit more paint than I would...

So, I used this To paint this And it came out like this

Ya, well the economy line used to look pretty dorky. I'm sure it cost them sales.

Dorky bug eyed lights

Some of the Massey Fergusons are dorky looking. Yours doesn't seem to be,

AI is actually better at reading mammograms than a doctor.

The saw I always wanted to own . I just love the sound of a twin cylinder 2 stroke.

I haven't read all 2,488 posts, but in the 70s I had a Homelite Super EZ. I really liked that saw. Light and powerful back in the day.

Yanmar makes nice tractors.

How does that clone perform compared to an OEM Stihl 361? What does it cost?

BTW, Scottie is worth talking to if you are looking for any clone chainsaw. I think he carries a nice Stihl MS361 clone. He knows his stuff.

The seller said the Chinese use crap oil in their saws - thus 25-` 1 recommendation. He said 40-1 with Amsoil or Red Armour is just fine. I am running 40-1 Red Armour.

Chain tensioner is on the side and easy to use. Phillips head though, but the scwrench they send is also a Phillips head.

Maybe the longer bolt worked

Did you replace the whole positive battery cable, or just the (battery end) connector? I own a L3010 that had intermittent cranking issues. If I jumped from the positive terminal at the battery to the positive lug on the starter, all was well. The cable looked okay, but the connector at the...

I think the V Modest is an equal to the Joncutter, but at $99, the Joncutter is a better deal. xyz123 would be a better person to answer.

I asked Hockfire saws about a rear handle version, and here is his reply. V-Modest is working on a rear handle and it’s supposed to be ready in September.

Yep, but I wanted to give xyz123's contact the business

Let me know what you think. I like that the guy I bought it from checks everything over and puts an NGK plug on it before he ships it.

You know, for $99, giving a saw like this a permanent home on your tractor or UTV makes a lot of sense.

What is your other group?

Was this bid the same, or higher?

BTW, for $99 you should treat yourself to one of these for your trail work. I just bought an Echo 2511t clone for $99. What was I thinking?

Looks like your drainage worked

Not sure he has rear handle 2511s, but his contact info is on his facebook page Log into Facebook

I'd buy that grader for the road work!

When it came to young lads working (vs playing) my dad would say One Boy - All Boy Two Boys - Half a Boy Three Boys - No Boy At All

It looks like he found a good site for advice. New to me 753 hydraulic leak

The most interesting part of this video is at 15:15

So you own that Kubota?

I think that is a tractor he borrowed.

I just bought a $99 clone, and started a thread about it. I just bought an Echo 2511t clone for $99. What was I thinking?

Initial thoughts: Quality seems very good. Comes with a chisel chain! The oil and gas caps seem a little less robust than the original, but okay. It seemed a little finicky to get the chain on because of close clearance with muffler cover, but finally got it. I forgot to weigh it empty, bit...

I blame Jeephead for starting the thread Echo 2511t is an amazing saw Echo 2511T is an amazing saw! I made the mistake of going to my Echo dealer and holding one. A saw that cuts well with a 5.2 lb powerhead? I had to have one. Then xyz123 posts a picture of his three 2511s! I didn't even...

Sometimes people just want to be rid of something that is "broken".

I think this is a case where both the dealer and the customer were well served by parting company.

I really don't have a problem hooking up 3pt implements. The only thing I notice is that it is harder to attach the PTO on my rear pull snowblower than my rough cut mower. I think the 3pt architecture on the snow bower makes me have to contort more to get in there with the PTO.

Are you getting Tractor Fever yet?

That tire's good enough for a wagon.

If a pole saw is big enough for the trail work, a Deere 3039 is big enough ;)

The ones with the best horsepower/weight ratio.

They did a fix with later models (don't know the year). I made a Pour Oil Slowly label and put near the filler cap.

I have stock chainsaws, and modded chainsaws. Wanna guess which ones I pick up first?

Our local lumber yard thinks they're slick.

I think that approach - with a smaller auger first, then actual anchor. Impact Driver with 1,000 ft=lbs torque

My neighbor had a 753 Bobcat. It is kind of the John Deere B of skidsteers - practical, reliable, and they made a million of them.

Would these be of any utility for you tying into the slope?

I would study the parts diagram, see where the linkage connects at the transmission case, and how. Bring a friend, disconnect the linkage there, and try to shift it with a vice grip or other appropriate tool. If that works you got a deal. Judging by the condition of the front tires, that...

They do if they are cutting cannabis :cool:

So, it pretty much functions, but has a severe hydraulic leak? It is probably readily fixable, but you have to be Houdini to work on them :oops:

Okay, I am amending my recommendation... I would get a 100-150 hp tractor, heavy disc, and a used road grader

Thanks for the update. To insert a smaller pic, bring up your picture Hold Shift, Wnidows key, Letter S Select the area you want to copy That puts it in your clipboard Right click Paste Smaller pic inserted

Time for a new air filter ;)

Thanks for the update. Original posters don't always do that.

3 pt parts, wheels, tires and steering parts would be easy enough to sell.

Nice trailer, but it would look better with a tractor on it.

My brother but a couple of lamps out on their yard with a sign FREE. They watched as a car pulled up, they walked up to the lamps, took out the light bulbs and left. His wife said "I guess they didn't think much of our lamps". 😛

Looks good. I thought you might try having counter rotating spindles. You might have to reinforce your baffles of you're cutting saplings, or in stumps and rocks.

I've seen cheap Ph meters that aren't accurate, and I've seen Ph meters that are accurate, but not cheap. Anyone know of a Cheap Ph Meter that's accurate?

Looks like the dogs approve.

Here is a pretty good video about the fuel cutoff solenoid. He shows how to prime the engine at 20:50

What geographic area are you looking in?

So, 1 post total on TBN!

The OP posted once and left. We don't know a lot about his specifics, and we don't know his budget. Maybe he's taken another job to be able to afford all this.

The only Kubota I ever heard should be avoided was the B3350 (dud emissions system). It will take you a bit of time to find a CUT and loader for less than $10k, but it can be done. The search will help educate you as to models and features.

Or wear this?

I don't know how long it takes me, but it usually isn't much of a problem. What helps the most, is if I park it on level ground. If I have to align the pin to the 3pt ball, I can use push on the tail wheel to move one side closer. If I have to adjust the height, a 5' pipe helps me horse it...

I get it. So trail is abandoned for 20 years?

do you have the dealer info for the Farmertec?

So you can't work on it - even on a calm day?

I'm not sure he ever tried a longer bolt, a bigger bolt (14mm), or duct tape around it to preserve the evidence. Until that happens, these are just theoretical solutions.

Which of those Amazon 2511 clones are the best/closest to an Echo?

So, a bump to this thread. I got my CS-2511tn back today with the Egan pipe and bucking spike. I wanted to get several tanks of gas through it first. I love this saw, and now I love it more. My saw mechanic tuned it back about 400 rpm from top rpm for longevity. It has a raspy sound, and...

I would be inclined to re submit your last offer. It was already significantly less than what they wanted. It's a nice property.

Why do you seem to prefer a pin to a bolt?

Just toss in some rocks the same size as the cajones on that (small) dozer operator who cut that trail in.

The water bars I saw, were raised above the roadbed (like a speed bump) not a depression.

When I went elk hunting in Washington state, I was impressed with their mountain roads. the roads were canted into the side of the mountain, and they had water bars (basically speed bumps at a diagonal) also angled into the side of the mountain, and a shallow, rock filled ditch on the inside...

I used a couple of rented ones for a volunteer project. Rough ground and high thick brush. One had a pivoting deck, one did not. The pivoting deck was definitely better. I se that the DR Power has power steering. That would make life better.

I still think, use a longer bolt tightened down firmly, or a slightly larger (14mm) bolt that will be more snug. You don't want a pin spinning around in there wallowing out the holes.

We really don't know the level of steroids needed for the job that needs to be done. t=The OP needs to update us. with words and pictures.

We need more information about what the timberland managment you will be doing. Are the roads in good shape, or a work in process? Are there more roads to be built? Do you have fire lanes that need to be mowed? Are there more fire lanes to be built? Do you have timber harvesters do any of...

Please describe what you mean by create fire breaks. Is it just discing a perimeter, or is it pushing over trees and removing stumps? My friend couldn't wait to get a bulldozer. After difficult and expensive maintenance, he was very happy when he sold it.

Some pictures of the "roads", steepness of the hills, size of the trees, other tasks to be done... would help

I would get a 60hp compact tractor and a used road grader or this

Hire these guys (see 3:55 mark).

So the springs have become disconnected? If you loosen the adjusting bolt all the way, might you be able to reconnect the springs?

Put a speed square on top of a level. Sight along the speed square, and back up until you align it with the top of the tree. Measure the distance of where you are standing to the tree and add 5 feet (distance to your eye) FWIW, I'll start the guessing game - I'll guess 85 feet ;)

A pole saw and track shoes?

Grizzly Wolf?

REBUILDING A COVINGTON PLANTER

in a similar story, I had a friend who was hunting ducks in the Horicon Marsh. They were all flying high, so no bueno. Across the way, a hunter was shooting at the distant ducks, and bringing them down! My friend left his blind and paddled over there to see what gives. He saw an elderly...

My dad was a coroner for a small county in NW WI. An older fellow died in a duck blind, and he had way over his limit in ducks. It must have been a glorious day for him. The local Game Warden was also there, and he kept trying to hide the over limit ducks, out of respect for the old hunter...

I agree that the 3/8"is the new 1/2" I have a Milwaukee M18 1/2" impact wrench. I just purchased a Milwaukee M18 3/8" impact wrench. Much lighter and more nimble. 600 ft lbs of of torque is more than enough for 99.9% of my needs. Plus it has 4 torque settings, including a soft stop (35 ft...

First I would use a longer bolt (so no threads in the collar), use a lock washer and tighten it tight. Maybe wrap the nut end with duct tape so you can retrieve it if it fails. If that fails, see if a 14mm bolt will fit in there snugly.

The only thing you have mentioned as being broken is the adjustment knob and/or the pin that secures it. Is something else broken? Have the springs detached? Otherwise, why can't you put on a new knob of sorts, and tighten it down the rate of tension you desire?

That's tough luck, but I bet you have a lot of demolition derby trophies to show for it ;)

I would have to admit that I stole a Jackknife at age 8, My dad made me confess to the store owner. I was never so scared or embarrassed. That was the one and only time.

Two points. As I understand it the pioneers of AI don't exactly know how it learns. They know information goes up and down through AI, and it learns, but they don't exactly know how. Second point. I was listening to a radio show about a couple of techies who were fooling around with AI...

How often do you change the setting?

So, here's an example of a suspension seat knob for a Kubota. It should be easy enough to make also.

He is not over tightening the bolt.

So the only thing that is broken is the plastic knob? If so, just make a new one of wood, steel, or 3d print.

Maybe post a picture?

BTW, I use a lock washer on my shear pin.

Can you buy 13mm bolts? They aren't listed on the charts.

a 14mm bolt is slightly larger than 1/2" Maybe see how that fits (or doesn't)

I had a John Deere 850 that had an abrupt PTO clutch. I would Idle it down, and then only momentarily engage the PTO clutch, and then fully engage it so it wasn't an all at once start. I don't think that is the problem. Those bolts look like they have been spinning around for a while before...

Different model, but fun to watch

Not sure this will help, but I would cycle the loader all the way up and down several times, curl the bucket forward and back several times and hit float a few times. It costs nothing to try.

That is an neat installation.

My New Holland T2310 does not have brake lights.

Can you post a link of where you got those lights, and pics after installation? Is that also a rear work light of sorts?

On my T2310, Flashers - Amber only Turn signals - Amber and Red

It must get your attention when the PTO/Slip Clutch backs off the gearbox. 😳

One other question. So when the nut end breaks off, does the cutter continue to function, or does the bolt head end eject itself? If there is a substantial force on the gearbox, I would expect the bolt head end to also shear off when half the holding power (on the other half of the collar) has...

I'm wondering if it's a combination of variables: The hole in the collar or shaft is slightly oversized or wallowed The bolt isn't long enough (collar rests on threads) The bold isn't tight enough - allowing it to spin and degrade There is some unusual vibration at the gearbox There are demons...

Does it matter which side of the collar you insert the bolt head in - i.e. is the bolt head always on the right, or is the orientation of the shaft, collar, and bolt head random? Also, it looks like the bolt is spinning a lot in the hole. It "machines" a step on one side, and a groove on the...

My rotary cutter has a 1/2" shear pin. When it breaks, it shears neatly at both the top and bottom (flush with the shaft). What's left of the bolt looks unmolested. Your bolts look like they've spent 10 rounds in a cage match. There's a whole lot of shaking going on (and I don't know why).

Waiting for someone to suggest this!

Maybe use a lock washer and tighten it down more?

Or this ;)

The Haban flail mower was the Deere OEM version. The OP could purchase a gas powered tow behind flail mower.

I made my own dethatcher many years ago to pull behind my lawn tractor. I used baler/siderake tines bolted top a u-channel I welded up. It is heavier than the homeowner styles that are for sale. I hate raking, so I use this on my wooded lawn. It does pretty well collecting the sticks and...

Have tou tried attaching a board to stiffen up your tines yet? Otherwise I think a dethatcher with shorter/stiffer tines would do what you are looking for.

Maybe new glow plugs?

What happens if you wait for the glow plug light to go out - turn the key off - wait a beat, and then turn the key on again to activate the glow plug a second time, then crank when the light goes off?

Texting (with the seller) is an imperfect communication vehicle. A phone call would allow each of you to discuss your interests and misgivings about sharing photos of documents.

Haban Flail Mower

The Popeye's chicken sandwich is great! Sell the EZ Go you got for a bargain, and get something that meets your standards.

Well, first he has to buy the property. I agree, first take a little time to take stock of the land, the cabin, the creek, the pond, the trails .....

So one battery replaces 6 8v batteries? Is that cheaper/better than going to 4 12v deep cycle batteries?

I knew the pole saw would come out!

True that, but that's still as light as it gets, and it cuts like a banshee. Mine is getting an Eagan header pipe!

Branson and Cabela should be in the Orphan Tractor headings with Century, Farmtrac and Montana ;)

That's not exactly plug and play is it?

There are beavers on the property. No Charge for dam building. 🦫

My cousin's daughter just bought some hunting land. I bought this old spring tooth as a welcome to thge neighborhood gift.

Tractor house Pardon Our Interruption

I'd have your realtor tell their realtor that you have been actively looking at other properties, but that he might be able talk you into making another bid. That way you don't seem too eager.

Make sure your PTO shaft isn't too long. That could damage your tractor. Also, most rotary cutters I've seen have kind of a swivel at the top link so it can give some slack on uneven ground. Please post a picture of yours. If you don't have that, or its travel is insufficient, you may...

The first thing I would say is Slow Your Roll You don't have to jam it to everything, break stuff, work till dehydration, etc. You don't have to buy new gadgets to hook things up. Use a pipe to help position the implement to your 3pt for hook up Installing the PTO shouldn't be difficult. It...

Too bad they don't have a compact tractor (or maybe their generator) they could throw in on the deal if you increase your bid.

I would prefer a compact tractor (Kubota B, of John Deere 2xxx series) over a SCUT (Kubota BX, of John Deere 1xxx series). Your usage/location is helpful information. In that case, a subcompact would be fine. My neighbor has a Kubota GR2120 garden tractor. It is amazing how much snow he can...

This is just like rhubarb custard pie, only easier! Yum

Pretty nice

I like the Kioti options (CK 2620 and CK 3520) I would also consider a Kubota B2601 or a LX2620

Just out of curiosity, how big and deep is the pond?

To me,a 4 footer best suits the size of the tractor, not just in terms of power, but also maneuverability, and intuitive use. I have to say that a stump cutter has saved my bacon more than a few times when I ran over stumps that supposedly knew they were there. By the time I hit the clutch...

Agreed. Even if you don't make another offer just now, your realtor should be finessing things behind the scenes.

Some trees blew across my sister's driveway last night. I'll be taking my Echo CS2511TN to do it. At 5.2 lbs, Arly should treat himself to one if he gets that camp property.

It's hard to know who the decision maker(s)s, especially after a death in the family. Maybe it is just the widow, but she wants assurance from her children that this is a fair deal. Maybe it is up to the children. In any case, I would expect your realtor to be more in the know. They are an...

Good luck!

So this will be your camp/cabin? Are you thinking solar and/or generator?

Decimal point error ... $10/foot

I checked about bringing power to our hunting land (about 1/4 mile) It was about $1.00/foot.

I hope you get it. I like the pond and elevation

I de-greased and de-rusted things the best I could. Then I gave it a basic paint job. All the shafts turn, and all the zerks I could find took grease. I couldn't find any zerks for (front) shaft that drives the seed plates. Here is a pic of the base. Should there be a zerk in that hole -...

You'd think in these modern times they'd use circuit breakers ;)

Oh no. So sorry for your loss.

Does she do your plumbing?

I would just drill holes through them and drive sections of rebar through them (an into the ground) Stagger the large and small but ends.

Soaking in Diesel. Now we wait.

Not something I'd like to do weekly.

A 4 series John Deere would be a nice tractor. I wouldn't rule out a 3 series either if you find a good deal. I always struggle with the backhoe question. There a those who say they would never be without one. There are those who who say they seldom get used and/or are a pain to...

Those tiny seeds like to be 1/8"-1/4" deep. My homemade tire chain drag, followed by a roller or cultipacker does a nice job of that.

We have plenty of deer also, but we've found another way to spend more money on hunting. A person should never itemize what the true cost per pound of venison is :oops:

Given the prices cultipackers are going for these days, I am posting a video of a DIY version. The poster says if he did it again, he would have used single wall culvert. I probably would have used a different shaft with pillow block bearings, but this is a pretty good option.

Nice!

Nice. Your sub spoiler and potato plow, and for a drag, 3 truck tires bolted together. is tillage on a budget! I'd like to see pics of all. PS: is Finlayson a suburb of Duxbury?

Not to hijack this thread, but it would be interesting to see pics of your build, specs, drive/steering mechanism, etc,

My wild guess is - If someone offers you $500, take it!

The disc was yard art, and the axles were frozen but easy to free up. All zerks took grease. Caught people napping at an online auction for the S Tine toolbar Got the drag at a yard sale Made the chain drag Roller was on online auction, but detached from frame. Just needed new pillow block...
