Spent some time with the grinder and modified the bracket so they would fit backwards. Also got some flat steel and changed out the angle. Now I just gotta get it mounted and test the fit.

The pins are recessed above the front of the cultivator. When I attach the lift arms they hit the angle iron when I only lift it a few inches off the ground. This is how it was assembled when I got it, is it assembled wrong?

I stalled my DK40se HST out in the woods, and when I went to restart it the dash range light is blinking L. I can't seem to find N, it stays in L (and blinks) no mater where I put the shift lever. It has been acting up as far as the dash and the lever get out of sync but I can always find N...

I have been thinking about adding a diverter valve to the loader on my DK40se. Does anyone know what size/type of threads are used on the quick disconnects on the loader valve? My plan is to move the female disconnect from the factory loader valve to the diverter. I'm trying to figure out what...

Got lazy tonight, used the grapple to move a trailer... By the time I had the trailer turned around and moved it out back it had wedged on nicely! Only took a few blocks under the jack and 2 good hits with a sledge to get it back apart. The time I wasted fetching tools and cribbing I could...

Just an update for anyone interested. Sold my finish mower on Saturday, picked up a 6' Woods BB72X Wednesday, and mowed 3 to 4 acres today. So far I am very pleased with the cutter. I set it for a 3" cut and went straight to the tallest thickest grass we had and it chewed it right up, the...

Well I have finished painting and installing the plywood sides and back. All the paint was leftovers, a friend painted his truck blue in my garage about 10 years ago (we will see how that holds up), a little white house paint, and some red barn paint that has turned pink brown (also about 10...

I would also like to learn more about your shaker, and I also don't have a spare tractor! We finally have had a few warm days! Tonight I got the first coat of primer on. I painted the bottom side of the rebar, that was a royal pain, so I am done painting the rebar. I figure it's going to be...

Finished welding the 4" screen today. The frame is done, the screen is done, and the plywood sides are cut and drilled. Now I just need some warm weather so I can paint everything! I am going to wait to build the overlay screen untill I have a chance to run some material through incase I...

I can see the value of a box blade, and I'm sure it's one of those implements that once I find one I will be kicking my self for not getting one sooner. I have the landpride ripping attachment, got it for super cheep. Having that the blade seemed more versatile than a box blade. Like I said I...

Made some progress this weekend, only have 4 or so bars left to weld on and the 4" screen will be done.

I picked up a new toy/attachment on Easter Sunday. It's a Landpride RB3584 (7'). It's in fairly good shape, the kick stand needs to be fixed and the king pin is a little loose. It has an offset cylinder but I would like to modify/move it to control the blade angle. If anyone has done...

Hello all, I am in the market for a rotary cutter and was looking for some sizing opinions. I have a DK40SE HST 32 hp at the pto. Currently I have a landpride RFM1672, 6' finish mower. The finish mower is up for sale. I have talked to a few dealers and a local farmers, most of the dealers...

No progress this week but I did pick up the rebar (hopefully enough). This is the best part: This is the screen from a sander. It is 2.75" squares and 4' x 8'. It changes my plans a little, my overlay is now going to be a slightly larger opening and I will have to figure out how to extend...

I test fit the hitch and got a coat if paint on it. Didn't have a trailer to try pulling around so I am just assuming it will stay put :D. Here is a view from the seat, it's small and hard to see, but you can see the tip of the hitch just to the left of the hook on the top of the bucket. This...

Hello all, I have a gallon and a half of hydraulic fluid left from my JD 790, I wanted to know your opinion on using it in my Kioti? I am about to add a hydraulic cylinder and thought I might have to top off the fluid. It is John Deere brand TY22000. Both are the same just different labels...

I have almost finished my solution: Some time this week I will give it a test on the bucket, maybe try and break or bend it, see if it needs any modifications. If all goes well I will clean it up and throw a coat of paint on. I also threw this together: Now I will have a hitch available...

Wow, a month since I posted! I had some welder troubles. The dutie cycle on my welder couldn't handle what I was asking for, so I borrowed a full size welder but that ended up being a nightmare of not having any of the parts I needed. So I ended up using mine anyways and just wasted time...

Hello all, I wanted to get some opinions on mounting a 2" receiver on the tool carrier on the loader. I am thinking of bolting, maybe weld, a short piece of of tubing to the cross pipe (torque tube?) of the quick attach on the loader. The idea is when I need to move a trailer I can just drop...

Not a lot of time to work this evening, I did manage to tack all the uprights in place. They are mostly square and plumb :) . Then I lifted the top into place, I got one end shuffled into position and tacked down. I ran out of time before I could finish the other end...

Back to the project... This evening I managed to get the top section all welded up. Once the top was finished I figured I should let my little welder cool down. So I decided to try and figure out how to get the top up in the air. Once in the air I figured I may as well lay out the...

Yep a rock screen, sorry I should have said that. For example, buy nowhere near as nice or large.

This summer I was able to get my hands on a good amount of 4x4 steel square tubing and some round aluminum. I plan on using the steel to build a grizzly screen, no plans for the aluminum yet. I know it looks like mostly round, that's because I had already carried 3 or 4 squares into the...

Hello everyone, I have been tasked with replacing my mother's lawn mower. Currently she has a JD zero turn with a 48" deck, I don't remember the model but I belive it's 22 hp. It's only a few years old and mechanical is perfect, the problem she has is it takes 4 to 5 hours each week to mow her...

That light setup is really nice looking, unfortunately when I looked at the picture all I could think of was you lying on the hood upside down like an artsy photographer. Not that there is anyting wrong with that, just made me smile. I have added a few lights to my DK I came off of the tap...

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to really load the forks up but I did catch a large root while loading logs and tried to lift it with no ill effects. I would buy them again, any down sides are out weighed by the low price and none of the down sides are that bad (we will see about the low...

So it's still too wet to get any seat time in and I was scrolling through some photos on my phone and found this one from last year. I had just dug out a small stump and when I went to swing back to start to fill in the hole some one decided that it was a nice cool place to take a nap.

Hello all, I need some help identifying a grapple that I may try to purchase. All that I know is that it was sold to the owner when he purchased his tractor (40ish HP Mahindra) as part of the package about a year ago and he lives in western Maine I think near Bethel. This is the only image I...

Hello, this is my first post! I am in the market to replace my JD 790 with something larger. I am looking at the JD 4120 and the 4320. I was wondering what your opinion on those models is and if it is worth the extra money to go with the larger one. Also my 790 has turf tires on it and we...
