I shelled the front center casting of my front axle that apparently held together long enough for the pivot boss on the rear of the center casting to shatter, thereby dropping chunks into the pinion and ring gear to the point where I suddenly knew something deeply wrong was going on with my...

Apparently the Crypto thread got deleted. I don't understand the hostility toward crypto. If you don't like the investment idea then don't follow it with your money. Buy treasuries and build out bond ladders instead but be careful as many think that at least 6% will be the new basis going...

My brother hatched an idea that we should put a plesiosaur out in our swampland next to the road. I thought this a good idea. So while I brought home my tractor and cut a path down to the floating bog of a swamp for access, my brother chased off to the plasma table and created a half-size art...

I got a plastic welding kit and repaired a fuel jug (akin to a giant milk carton) successfully which prepared me for my most important plastic repair to date! follow me.

My brush guard bends if you breath on it. I don’t know how many times I’ve pulled it out and away from the hood of my tractor. The brush guard is near useless and so finally I cut out the-frequently-bent-and-bent-back, 12mm plate that it uses to bolt into the frame of the my tractor, laminated...

Second Edit: After spending hours of time puzzling through relays, looking at multi-meters, wigging wires, checking connectors, and determining that everything appeared to be working as it should, I was just about to punt and wire in a push-button switch on my dash that would perma-jumper...

The title says it all. I have plenty of scan tools and not one of them can connect to my NX because I don't know what adaptor it takes. The connector appears to be a Kum (as in a brand name—not making that name up) 12-pin Nylon PA66 connector and uses eight of those pins...

I have an early Rockland Quick Coupler on my 1979 Hough H80B Pay Loader. Sadly, the hydraulic cylinder must have failed at some point in the quick coupler and the hydraulic cylinder was removed and a wooden block put in the cylinder's place to keep the pins in. Unfortunately, Rockland knows...

The dump side on my curl on my NX series tractor is getting so bad that my hand is now hitting the right hand door when I'm curling down. It is cold outside so I'm not working on this problem yet, but I suspect that the ball is sliding off the cable end down at the valve body. I'm hoping that...

I popped over to my brother's shop where he'd just started filling an order for his air filter housings. Over the last thirty years many people have learned how to do short-run foundry work from him. Anyway, not welding, but I think it is interesting.

The title pretty much says it all: Eager to use my brand new Miller Multimatic 255, I set about to fix a broken tilt cylinder that had been sitting dormant for too long on my garage floor. Like anything worth doing, I got interrupted, but I think it made for a fun video.

I've got to admit that I'm getting tired of an entire summer of smoke in the air. I like to take my pontoon out at night, stick the sea legs into a sandbar, lean a seat back and star gaze. Maybe bring a camera and time-lapse—but not this summer. I like to wake up and smell the fresh air, the...

After eight summers of use, my Cat2 three-point on my NX6010 shelled one stabilizer mount, and the other side was on its way out as well so my NX came home mid-summer to the Trauma Center at the Tinkerage. Since the three point was disabled, I took this as an invitation to make beefier mounts as...

I could have sworn there is a lengthy best vice thread on TBN somewhere but I couldn't find it in a search. Anyway, I wanted to throw down with a video of KenTool's KT4800 8" reversible vice which is only two-third's the price of the Wilton's 8" revisable vice and (since a friend of mine has the...

I'm looking for a set of pallet forks with a bit of taper built into the SSQA plate to aid in attaching to my tractor. Does anybody know of an OEM making pallet forks with a bit of taper? Thanks ever so much. For reference, this is what I'm asking about.

I picked up a 4 into 1 bucket last year that I need to redo the configuration of the pins so I can attach it to my Pay Loader. I figured this would be a good opportunity to step into a dedicated 220V multiprocess welder. Among other things, I'm interested in the pulsed spray process so that I...

As some of you know I'm a real estate broker in North Central Minnesota. A house that I'm representing the buyer has more corrosion on the in-floor heating manifold than I've ever seen and I'm concerned. Check it out. The photo on the left shows one run down into the in-floor heating, but...

While doing my 700-hour service this afternoon, I realized something I wish I'd known since I bought this machine.

Does anybody happen to know (or has the resources to measure) the thread pitch and size of the little, red, plastic, filler cap on the HX series HST transmission? My cap is increasingly a battle to get on right due to the plastic threads stripping out and I'd like to purchase an aftermarket...

After adding aftermarket BRP seats to my Polaris RZR, my right knee suddenly was getting fluid-filled (never a good thing) and since I can't be the only guy whose bits are wearing out, I thought I'd share my make-shift solution for a right knee support (along with a cute dog-related video at the...

I'm going to be going and looking at (from the photo from the seller) what looks like an H90 International Payloader from lates 70s or early 80s. It is powered by a Navistar DT466 and has a leaking air brake valve under the brake pedal. Anything I should be sure to look at or know about? The...

Continuing the discussion from a year ago about our DPF systems, since I cannot tinker with the ECU, I'm thinking about popping in a generic SK-09 DPF delete box in, yanking out the DPF and fabbing up a "test tube" and muffler to bridge the exhaust this coming spring...

This isn't really a project, per se, but I thought we should have a thread sharing welding project ideas. Here is my last one: making horseshoe art.

The conversation went like this: "You should just buy a plasma cutter," Other Eric said suggestively. Pondering, Eric replied, "I'd like to but I want a CNC port and I don't want to drop $2400 on a Hypertherm." This started a discussion. See, Other Eric services and sells (occasionally) CNC...

A friend of mine tired of endlessly adjusting his snowblower's chute while blowing snow asked me top electrify it. So I did.

I parked my tractor near the entrance of the property I'm slowly turning into a park and one of my neighbors happened to stop and look at my tractor and noticed one wheel had lost bolts and is working loose. The part book says the bolts are M16x1.5 but not how long. Does anybody happen to know...

A friend inherited a JD 2510 from his father. For his part, the father made so many repairs or modifications to the wiring that I want to rewire the ignition and charging circuits. As it is I'm involved to chase down a 1700mA drain on the battery that appears to be coming from the brand new...

Hello TractorByNet, On my YouTube channel, I have been asked several times to demonstrate removing a loader from a tractor. Well, eventually something broke requiring me to remove my loader and so I tried to make a universal how-to video out of my misfortune. If the following video helps...

Ten days ago my RZR came to a dead stop after it caught on fire when I was heading back home making a beer run for guests who were coming over to my house later that evening. I had nothing to put out the engine fire except beer until a Good Samaritan stopped by with a 5-gallon pail. After I...

I got a deal on this thing, so while not the best utility mchine, it is genuinely comfortable. Could use a turf mode as at any speed it'll rip things up in a sharp turn.

Plan A. I tried to shoehorn in a Sears KM1003 (the same seat is used in a pile of Case and Deere and other tractor applications) into my cab-on NX series tractor. Having measured everything, I estimated that I could use the 5" travel air suspension, and if needed for clearance, remove the...

Likely because it is cold in Minnesota, I popped a bladder seal on a lifting ram my KL6010 loader. I strongly suspect the loader was originally made by Quicke, a German company, since the loader features German metric hydraulic fasteners. At any-rate, since Kioti doesn't offer replacement...

I was asked about how to route the cable on the McKee-style snow blowers. The answer is embedded in a longer video of mine and not well advertized on YouTube. So, for the sake of the internet here is my video on the subject. What I don't mention in the video, is the set the chute dead center...

Anybody happen to know what diagnostic adaptor Kioti uses on their NXs? I have a bad injector and want to see if the computer happens to know which one using a Launch Pro Touch. FWIW, the connector on the tractor looks like a Molex 33472-1201 MX150 12-Pin, female, without the two notch tabs on...

There are good welding videos on Youtube and then there are mine. Enjoy. :laughing:

Eight hours in the life of a tractor loader-fueled fire.

I noticed that my jet pump on my old 2" 118' well was running continuously and when I shut it off, I could hear the well sucking wind. Before it lost prime I turned the jet pump back on, opened up a garden hose spigot to try to keep the pump from overheating and called my well driller thinking...

My mother spotted a wolf in our backyard that she swore was around 180 pounds. I told her that'd be a big wolf and asked her about the color, wondering if it was the same male I had seen several times within the five miles area in the past year. My mother described the wolf she saw as a...

I got a kick out of this: The Russian Kioti Importer just asked for my permission to subtitle in Russian my Diesel Cold Start video and put it up on their YouTube channel. Russia: cold like Northern Minnesota. :laughing:

Last year I purchased an old paper parts book covering the Deere 270 snowblower which was manufactured by McKee and is McKee's 720. It sounds like one of my auger bearings is shelling and so I scanned the relevant pages from the parts book to get the bearing part number and am attaching those...

My sister and I decided last year that my dogs should have dog coats if they are going to tag along with me all day outside in the winter. Thus began a journey trying to find dog coats able to withstand two blundering labrador retrievers running through brush and snow. Once we had the right...

Pettibone MK30 AWD Crane for Moving Shipping Containers? I don't know if I should post this the construction equipment area or not, but I figured that somebody has done this before on TBN and the rural area is a good place to start asking questions. I'm thinking about playing legos with...

KIOTI Tractor Introduces New Line of Industry-Leading Implements

Watch the video. What really happened is that I've been busting my butt trying to get as much material together into three slash piles to burn this winter all at once like I did last year. The 14" snow we had was nothing but super wet, sticky hard to plow, and slippery. Nobody in their...

I dunno what happened to the Creeping forward thread that started the conversation, but yesterday I made a video sharing my thoughts while running my tractor.

After losing confidence in my barn jack to not slip off and I wind up squashed like a bug, I researched a bunch of different mower jacks and then ordered in a MoJack Pro. Today I assembled it, and made a video review of its first use.

I'm thinking about popping in my own mini-split heat pump. So far the most efficient I've looked at in the 18,000 pound range is a Mitsubishi rated at 21SEER. It also pumps heat down to -13 degrees F. I've never done this kind of thing before, but as an auto tech, understand automotive AC...

I took a break from clearing brush and mad an ad-hoc video review of my pole saw set-up.

A friend sold her supper club and offered her backpack power fogger to me if I also used it to treat her house and her neighbor houses for mosquitos. Anybody have good product ideas for use with a backpack power fogger? Something like this perhaps...

I purchased a new 76" x 144" aluminum trailer today. I have learned to not purchase trailers made by people in the south because they do not understand the salt belt. This is a Bear Track Trailer are here in Minnesota that come with an electrical harness that really is fully sealed and...

There is a 2013 KOMATSU PC35MR cab on with AC, heat, and hydro thumb and road tracks for $30,000 grand with 50 hours on the clock. I have been looking at used open-station Deere 35Ds and Kubota SU27 or SU35s in the $30K range. Any opinions are welcome!

Sometime in the night the power went off and my 89-year-old mother, God bless her, attempted to wash her hands. Without any water from our well pump, she left the tap open allowing the water in the well to drop and draw a vacuum into the plumbing system eventually losing prime on the deep well...

Working at clearing wind falls today while feeding a burn pile. I heard three tree knocks today. At 5:00 PM, in broad daylight, I realized my $400.00 Stihl chainsaw and mickey mouse ears were missing. I had taken a five minute break and left them 50 feet behind where I was sitting and now they...

I picked up a 52" Ferris is2100 last fall. I'm wondering if anybody has experience or knows if the Exmark/Toro large mower cover can fit a ZTR that has a rollbar. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Since the Hiniker engineer I spoke to last year didn't seem to apprehend the problem with his SSQA design, I made a video.

My new Grammer MSG75/531 seat has a 2-row, 6-way, multi-connector, AMPish style and I need a male block with female 6.3mm blade connectors. This British site appears to have what I need (the 050105 6-way) 6.3mm Blade Multiple Connectors Fine, I'll order wheat I want from across the pond...

Any feedback on Milsco's V5400 or Grammer MSG65 Air Ride Seat? I purchased a new Ferris IS2100Z two days ago. Today I winterized the new mower and put it into storage, but I dream of putting on an air seat this spring to sooth my ailing back. :) Does anybody have any feedback on the Milsco's...

Think it is worth spending an extra money to get into a Ferris 2100 rather than a is700 or Simplicty XT? Which engine do you think is best on either mower? I've been looking around the internet and there isn't a lot of info out there, so I'm throwing out a lifeline looking for advice. :)...

Nice video of an NX4510 with a self-leveling Qicke loader (I think) on ag tires running an old sprayer. Notice the factory front fenders that are impossible to get here in the states for reasons never explained. Why are front fenders hard?

I had a little stinker move in under my container which I smelt every time I visited the container, and met when my floodlight caught his little, beaty eyes. I thought about knocking the little stinker off, but then didn't want a different kind of funk coming from under my container. My...

My tractor is rated at 48PTO hp. I had to turn away a job because I don't have a stump grinder attachment. At some point I mean to buy one. Cabelas is selling the Woods Cat 1 and 2 TSG50, a 20" grinder for $3600 right now on sale. A Shaver 50 with a 34" wheel would set me back $5800 new...

I'm starting to sniff around looking at commercial mowers since my existing 42" deck Toro will not be up to task for the park I'm creating. The most annoying thing I do with my existing Toro is switch from mulch to vacuum mode and back again in the spring and fall. Deere offers a mulch on...

Anybody running MyStik JT5 instead of Mobilfluid 242? Time to drop the hydro trans fluid and my $75.00 a pail source is now charging $120 pail. The lure of switching to a Citgo product is strong. Anybody using Mystik JT5 or something else with success in their Kioti?

I received my gas tank. The box that it was shipped in was too flimsy and so the packaging genius braced the corners with other boxes. No box is ever too flimsy, small, or ate-up to not be used to ship parts at Kioti. I don't know if it is genius by necessity or an end-of-year company bonus...

Can somebody explain the virtues of a hinged back and fixed back box blade in so far as working goes? Thanks everybody!

I noticed that Paul Shorts has front fenders on his Kubota L series. I have a Kioti NX series which would take about the same size front fender. Are front fenders a Kubota item or aftermarket? Either way, I'm looking for a source that will fit my wheel arch about right and I can fab up bracket...

Anybody know where to get some front fenders? I'm cool with making my own mounts if necessary but it occurred to me that by the time the snow flies, I better have a set on my NX.

I lost the link. Who sells those fun, spring-loaded hose-holders that mount at the end of loaders? EA uses them or something like them on their attachments to keep the hoses from getting goofy. Thanks!

How old is your tool box? My old Mac Tools MB1500 dates from the eighties. I used to have a Mac Tools top chest as well, but that was stolen when my shop was broken into and the thieves used our wrecker to boost my top tool box. Anyway, here is my tool box.

My NX6010 among some other brands, takes Mobilfluid 424 which is Exxon Hydraulic 560, Shell's DONAX-TD, BP's Tractran UTH, and ChevronTexico's TEXTRAN TDH. I tripped over an SEA rating of Mobilfluid 424 saying that it is 30W. I'm wondering what the equivalent to these name-brand hydraulic oils...

Hello, I'm trying to puzzle out the best way to run 3rd function lines down the loader of my Kioti NX6010. I'm thinking about using hard lines, but with hard lines I'm wondering how or where I should mount the quick disconnects. Photos and suggestions are welcome.

Hello guys, I'm looking for a CAT 2 subsoiler that I can use to get down to the 48" frost line dragging through my sandy northern MN soil. On the other side of the Atlantic, the cheeky Brits sell a subsoiler that I'm interested in under the J. Silk Agriculture name but I cannot find USA...

All I want to do is add a third function valve and subplate in series to the fat 1/2" ID hydraulic line in the middle of this photo. One problem is that my NX6010 flows just a little over 12 gpm and all of it, flows down that 1/2 line through three spool valves for the rear remotes and then...

Are you familiar with the 3000/4000 series Deere handle? It looks like this. In it is a round, grey button pad where is looks like there are three buttons. But when I peel off the cover, I see that it has only two buttons, yet the circuit board has room for a third button. Question...

Since I'm pulling out nearly the entire interior of the tractor to add functions to it, I thought I'd sound dampen the cab. And since automotive products like Dynamat cost one zillion dollars, flexible ice and window shielding works almost as well as the real thing at 1/5th the cost. Make sure...

My NX6010 shipped with two blank knockouts for switches on the right rear fender. I see the new NXs do not have the knockouts in their fenders. My suspicion is that the kockouts are for some option in another market. Does anybody know of any options that take advantage of the two knockouts...

I'm adding a 3rd function to another brand of tractor and I like the simple knob joystick handle that Kubota uses on their L6060. I can order the two halves of the joystick handle but cannot get the part number for the engine acceleration switch (which I will use to trigger the custom circuit...

I'm in Minnesota, have a FICO around 830ish, and I cannot get the kind of insurance I want to cover my tractor. I can get a rider policy that covers the cost of the tractor and attachments through USAA (and others), but I cannot get a liability policy that covers the tractor and myself doing...

I needed to shoot some photos for a project I'm working on and take some measurements and so I chased over to the Kioti dealer where my tractor is. I took some photos. The air filter system comes straight from Minnesota to Kioti. For all I know, my sister designed and set up the assembly...

Been using my 4235 as a brush hog for days. Sharpen the blades and away it goes.

Since i still have not received the NX6010, does anybody happen to know a bolt in tooth bar that fits Kioti's bucket when it has been ordered with a HD bar?

After experiencing sticker shock while looking at commercial grade blowers, I've been sniffing around for used commercial blowers with hydro chute and deflect. I found a dealer with a damaged Frontier SB1274. The blower has a blown out universal joint (now removed) and I don't think the dealer...

I thought I had the quick hitch thing puzzled out. I had planned on getting a Cat 2 Pat's easy quick change but then I stumbled on a video that cast doubt on the wisdom of using a Pat's in my application (for those who are wondering, the Pats in that video was installed correctly). Anyway, I...

I'm looking for poly snow plows in the 8' size for use on a 60hp Kioti 6010. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I want poly because it will be lighter, and easier for the tractor to steer when the loader is in float mode. I've looked at Hiniker but their 8' poly loader plow is only 26"...

This is the cable-actuated joystick valve used on Kioti's NX series tractors. Anybody recognize the maker's logo? More to the point, Kioti doesn't list a separate power beyond tap as an available accessory like other OEMs but service manual diagrams out what looks like could be used as a...

I just picked up a new PJ Trailers C5 20 foot car hauler with a 2 foot dovetail that I ordered 10 weeks ago. The trailer has an 83" wide deck and is equipped with Dexter 5200 pound axles, springs, easy-grease hubs and electric brakes, stake-pockets, rub rails, spare tire mount, spare tire...

I'm looking into Normand, Lorenz and Pronovost snowblowers for a heavy CUT for use on 1/2 mile dirt/gravel drive and any for hire business I can drum up, which may include an additional 1/2 of township road. The loader will use a Hiniker 8' Big Ox plow.

Kioti hydraulic fittings are what type? UN/UNF; NPT/NPTF; BSPP (BSP, Parallel); BSPT (BSP, Tapered); Metric Parallel; and Metric Tapered. There are about twenty standards in the world, and I don't know what Kioti is using in the States. 4 Easy Steps to Identify Hydraulic Threads
