Did your narrower frame trailer have any sway control and what was the deck length? I've found that has more of an effect on the stability then the frame width. One nice thing I didn't think of when going to the singles was the narrower track width keeps me from dropping a wheel of the...

There are changes in the bracing for the metal panel over the tires and the spare mount between the dual and SS models, so there are some manufacturing differences. I prefer the 235 but the 215 is perfectly fine for 7k axles if you want the low profile. Having pulled this trailer back to back...

For the 8k axles, the 10&12k axles are all the same width whether duals or SS. At least for Diamond C

I have a Diamond C trailer that I converted to singles, they do sit in a little, and I thought they looked weird at first, but no issues with stability. The factory SS model use the same frame and axles as the dual wheel models. I also had a 10ton tag trailer that had a narrower frame that I...

And don't forget lapping them in once everything is ground and adjusted........

That would be correct, however I don't really mow for other people anymore and I'm only mowing about 2acres of personal lawn. The ZD331 was mainly for the better cutting deck and the collector that can be dumped from the seat. I sold my ZD326 as the 6in hose for the collection system clogged too...

Some people just don't have the time to mess with older equipment, I use to buy older equipment and repair it. In the last few years I just don't have the time to dedicate to older equipment. Case in point, I just bought a gooseneck trailer instead of fixing up/modifying the trailer I have. I...

Exactly, they are maintence hogs, not to mention you'll need either a connection for someone with a reel grinder or buy one which is expensive.

Could be, but its not uncommon for people to not know what they have with these comercial mowers. Most likely has a Kubota engine and they were offered in 4wd. Price is decent but not crazy low. I'd say worth a try.

In my area that would be a pretty decent price, my 331 has just under 1k hrs right now and I've been debating on trying to sell or trade for a BX to mow with. I figured mine with the collector should be worth $10-12k

Also depends on blade type or hammers and material being cut. Hammers take some power to keep spinning.

Yes, z axis/height control is a must. At home I use a table I built using a Precision Plasma HD7 gantry and a HT pm85 (previously a 105). At work I have Koike Aronson with a MaxPro200 and tube cutter.

Go with the 48 unless you are only cutting light grass. I have an AGL165 which is 65in wide with 25hp at the pto and have to slow down a lot if I hit tall or thick grass.

What model/size Shop Sabre are you running?

I have a 15ft open center deck car trailer that I converted to a full deck equipment trailer. The axles were almost centered (enough that you didn't need a tongue jack on level ground) and was miserable to tow empty and hard to load correctly. I ended up adding 3ft to the front of the trailer...

Funny you mention it, I have a rake also...... I just bought it for the hyd components, doesn't have an engine.

I have an almost identical Jacobson fairway mower with a Kubota V1305 in it, I find the commercial reel mowers don't hold their value once they get older. Many times old courses or governments sell them off pretty cheap. I bought my Jacobson years ago for $150 from a golf course that was...

I always wondered why that dealer closed, I don't have any M-F equipment but was sad to see another old dealer close down. I'm happy that it has been revived. I don't drive that way regularly but seems they have a pretty good inventory on the lot lately, hope that means they are doing well!

I have 2 of the Berger clamps I bought a number of years ago. They are actually pretty decent, not as nice as my Strong hands or Bessy, but for the money they have held up well. I figured if I needed to abuse or modify a clamp it would be easier on me mentally to do it to a cheaper one.

Yes I'm familiar with the wheel setup diagrams for both the L3560 and L3240, neither show overall width. That's why I asked you if you could show me how yours was set up since there doesn't appear to be any way to get narrower then 70in with the R4's from my experiences. Sorry I upset you, but...

Any pictures of how yours was configured, all the manuals give are track width not overall width. Here's my L3240 which uses the same tires, wheels and rear axle as the L3560. As you can see the fenders prevent going any narrower and the outside width is 70in. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using...

Go for the 6ft box blade, it will actually cover your tires, the actual width outside to outside of the rear tires will be around 70in for R4's at their narrowest setting. I have a L3240 with a heavy 78" box blade and with fluid filled r4's it pulls it just fine. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using...

I know I'm a little late, but the proper combination for turf is the 29x12.5-15 fronts paired with the 44x18-20 rears. The 27x8.5-15 tall fronts are paired with the 355/80-D20 rears but typically can be also paired with either 27" tall front option. The 41/18LL-20 can be used with 27in tall...

The torque bar is just below the pins on the QA, appears to be a solid bar. With only that much bend it shouldn't be an issue to bend it back, no cutting necessary hopefully. My skid steer has a bolt on tube, real easy to fix if it gets out of sync! Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet...

Why are you doing multiple short cycles of the glow plugs? I would recommend trying a longer glow plug cycle time unless the manufacturer specifies not to, 1 long gp cycle will be more effective then multiple short ones. My forklift is the worst of my diesels, it's an older Nissan and requires...

5w40 delvac is actually a little less the t6 now, and actually availed from more places. Main ag places nearby is JD and they stock their own oil it appears. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Well there are no approved retailers near me according to the rotella website, guess I'm switching to Delvac once I run out of t6. Really prefer t6 but if they are going to play this game I guess I'll use a different brand. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

$75 for a 2.5g jug of 5w40 t6 here, didn't see any rebate forms listed but I guess they could have them. Starting to see some come back in stock different places here, but the prices have gone up quite a bit. 1gal jugs are running $32 at the lowest I've found. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using...

Oh good, you all can see it too, so I'm not going crazy then! Thought I had missed something. Do we know if a warranty claim was submitted and denied? Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

The only breakage i can see appears to be the frame forward of the engine, why do you think there is a failure behind the engine/bell housing area? Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Easier on drivetrain possibly, but the issue appears to be structural, my reference to the grapple was that it's oversized for the tractor which could possibly mean the owner wasn't easy on it. But who knows, maybe he was just transporting it or something else, hard to judge from just a picture...

Did the transmission bell housing break? I can't tell from the pics but the loader appears to still be in place. Looks Iike just the front frame section broke taking the front end with it. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Most common issue is the quick couplers coming partly undone, had it happen to me. Take pressure off lines and disconnect/reconnect the quick couplers for the loader. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Seems the smaller DPF equipped CUT's can really benefit from HST when doing loader work where more controlled speeds are required, to allow for higher sustained engine speeds. Maybe a GST or even a shuttle with more speeds would also help to keep the revs up, especially while doing a regen...

It also could have been used within design limitations and has a weld failure due to manufacturers defect, I've seen a few post lately of various weldments cracking/breaking on Kioti equipment. If not caught in time could lead to catastrophic failure. Not a bash on Kioti, just an observation...

The Cab 2650 weighs about 650lbs more then the 2601, but also has a larger engine, 1.3L as opposed to 1.1L. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

What condition is your battery in? I had an issue where the tractor would turn over but the voltage has just low enough while cranking that it wouldn't activate the fuel solenoid every time. Took me a while to find the problem, new battery solved my problem. If it's not the battery it could be...

I don't, but I'm pretty sure they are different from the larger grand L's. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I cut two 20ft chains down to 8ft/12ft with a grab hook on one end and a slip hook on the other, seems you always need some a little longer or shorter, works well for me. I also keep two 20ft chains in the truck. I prefer 4 chains even on my 7k tractor, for binders I like a ratcheting style...

The BH would mount up to the factory subframe and you would need the extensions for the cab, however you might not be able to get the factory subframe. On my L3240 the BH subframe is apparently NLA, I lucked out and was able to buy a NOS from a dealer that was closing down (actually 2!) but that...

Agreed, I pretty much only use the brakes for parking on HST's Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

If by blasted you mean the 3-4in estimate on that map, then yes [emoji6] At least the latest maps show us not getting hit as bad, I'm still waiting for the snow/ice to melt off the shop roof enough for the insurance adjuster to inspect [emoji20] Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

So now that everyone is going to freak out due to the last storm, we probably won't get anything. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

It does require a 3rd line going to tank so easier to keep it up by the vavle if possible, but when you can't get a float valve it makes life easier Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

He didn't specify, but I'm guessing he's going with a side shifting style ditch bank. Like this one goes 90° up(vertical) and about 60° down Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I was actually wrong on my top pin hole size, it's 1.25. Looking at the factory step bushings for the top link they are 1.25OD x.765ID x .70L What blade do you have? Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I haven't seen any flange bushings there, just the standard spacers to increase pin diameters. The ones for mine are a split type and press in so they won't fall out when the pin is removed. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

My Landpride blade has cat 1 lower pins but the top link pin is 1in dia instead of the std. 3/4, this was for a quick hitch. Landpride sells flanged bushing to reduce the top link pin holes down to 3/4, maybe yours is the same. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I figured it out, I was thinking of the B&S transfer switch, Briggs & Stratton 71057 400-Amp Split Service Automatic Transfer Switch + AC Shedding Service Disconnect Looks like what I would need for my setup and less expensive then 2-200a Generac units! Would just take a bit more work to get...

Can't say I blame you! I wouldn't really care about running the a/c, but this house has soo many windows facing the mid to evening sun that it heats up really quickly. I plan on putting a uv reflective film on the windows, but a multi-day outage during the summer with sunny days would be...

The problem was on I95, it was the Monday after a holiday weekend and had a lot of people traveling back home from out of state. It's hard to check weather like this for your full route when traveling through multiple states. That's part of the reason I try to listen to local radio stations...

That's how this house is currently setup, however I want to be able to run anything I need (mainly the water heater and A/C during the summer), winter I use wood stove so no resistant heat. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I have 2- 200amp panels, I was thinking about doing the 2- 200amp transfer switches but was hoping for a single switch for simplicity. From my understanding, the 400a Generac transfers actually just have 2- 200amp switches in them? Or the info on their site was wrong. 15kw will run everything I...

If I was building everything from scratch I would go that route direction, but since I'm trying to use what I have it'll be a double V belt. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Controls are still there, it is an older unit that doesn't have the touch pad so might be easier to adapt. The engine I'm planning on using ran hydraulic pumps via belts so I already have a double sheave pulley with spring tensioner. Biggest job is going to be making the bearing support for...

I'm sure a setup could be made from scratch, however I would have a lot of hrs in research and testing to get it right, so probably not worth it. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I'll be using a 15kw gen head from my dads old Generac standby that lunched the engine. I have all the controls from it but not sure if I want to try to adapt that or start from scratch. I have a good running Kubota D1105, plan is to belt drive it and run the engine around 2500rpm which should...

Not sure anyone here said anything about a cheap transfer, just affordable. Might end up being a used one or new if there is a better manufacturered switch out there that I can adapt to my gen. The big manufacturers are priced from about 2.5-3k for a 400a switch, no matter what it'll have to be...

What's the location? Maybe you could ship some out here for us deprived souls [emoji38] Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Yeah, snow wasn't the problem as much as the layer of ice that formed and held all the snow to everything! Then add 16in of fine, wet snow on top of that in a couple hrs and it causes a lot of problems. I think I'm going to build a 15kw diesel standby, just trying to figure out an affordable...

There are aftermarket valves available, but I doubt you'd gain much if anything and would require adapting it and trying to tune it. Most OE's use various valve sections depending on what function it is controlling, along with restrictors. I'm not sure your experience with these type of BH's...

I think he might have been referring to the manifold/muffler and how it looks more aged then the generator? Exhaust looks good, did you have to make the extra bend to clear the garage door? From dealing with outdoor gens I can say the exhaust side definitely ages much quicker then the rest of...

It only has a little over 7gpm to the implements, the Kubota TLB's, B and larger, actually have a separate pump for the boom. My experience with compact BH's you can get 2 functions depending on what they are, maybe 3, but takes a lot of effort to maintain smooth control. Sent from my SM-G715U1...

It would be due to the control design, the HST is a separate system from the implements (only shares the fluid). I have found that Kubota's seem to have better loader valves then some other companies, at least in the compact market, they will allow easy multifunction movements. Sent from my...

My little portable got a good workout this week, power was out from 9am Mon till 9am Thurs. Put 26hrs on it in that time, found out the check valve for the well pump is bad which made it cycle every 15min or so, not good for the pump or gen! We just moved and had a 17kw standby at the old...

Yes, but the same tractor was produced under the Hew Holland name until the late 90's, I believe 98. I would put them closer to a Kubota std L in size/capacity. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

I've looked at them and really like them, only issue I found seems to be parts availability can be hit or miss. Most service parts aren't a problem, but there has been some difficulty getting repair parts, recently it was brake components for a neighbors 1520 or 1720 (can't remember). The...

Still no power here and no estimate on when they'll have it back up, at least traffic isn't too bad so plan on heading into town to get some fuel later. I was waiting for the ice to start melting before going out, been overcast today so taking a little longer then expected. Sent from my...

Still no power here, hopefully by morning or early tomorrow, luckily I have plenty of wood and still some fuel for the generator, going to go fuel up tomorrow as long as it isn't a mess out there. I need diesel for the tractors and I've used up almost all of my ethanol free gas for the small...

Yup, same here, probably going to take a couple days to clean up the driveway area alone, upper part isn't bad but the lower part going to the shop is a mess. I'd say I'm also at least 85%+ of evergreens are down or broken here, lot of hangers too. This is standing next to the attached garage...

Looks like we won't get hit as bad, or at all, with that one, for now anyways. Weather seems to have a way of changing at the last minute though...... Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Well if you were close enough you could come by and get some water, we have the gen running the well a couple times a day. Weird that a couple miles from me in both directions they got way less snow. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Doubt it, Tim Kaine was stuck in it also so....... Sent from my SM-G715U1 using TractorByNet mobile app

Don't know exactly what happened, but it was a heavy rain with a quick temp drop overnight turning to ice and then heavy snow. They couldn't pre treat due to the rain and then the fine, wet snow was packing down quickly. A lot of the clearing efforts were hampered due to downed trees/ limbs...

He didn't either, that's why I took him over, so he could have some fun and distract him from his disappointment. He doesn't ask for much usually so he was pretty upset that he wasn't going to get his McD and cake he asked for, luckily the sled ride cheered him up. Sent from my SM-G715U1 using...

Yeah, it was too deep to sled in, pulled my younger son over to my parents house behind the tractor. Felt bad, it was his birthday and we couldn't get the requested McDonald's for dinner or pick up his cake from Walmart (both were closed and the roads were a mess anyways). Everything is...
