I sure hope they can get things resolved. I have see so many otherwise excellent companies ruined by shady contractors who use the legal system as their personal battering ram.

I kinda like that one but I'm not a fan of anything bolt together.

I have plenty of weight just need to figure out to hang it on the land plane

Something tells me run away from that. I'm not too sure what it is that bugs me about that system but in short it looks too complicated.

The side the house is on (white road possibly gypsum) never needs repairs or grading. It is like concrete but once broken loose it is like talcum powder and tons of dust. So I don't mess with it. The north or dark side has been graded repeatedly by a commercial grader that has popped out all the...

I was mainly talking about implement options for my specific application. Until recently I had never heard of a land plane. So who knows how many other implements I have not heard of. I also read on here that using a chain for the top link was a thing. Or an aftermarket link system to replace...

I do have a box blade but find it is very difficult to use on a long driveway. I use it to fix wash outs, ruts and high spots mainly. I find the box blade can quickly damage the road in an instant while looking forward to drive and not go off the cliff.

I already have 420# in 70#suitcase weights on hangers I put on the sides of my quick hitch. While possibly not the best placement for a land plane it sure does make a huge improvement for my scraper blade. It virtually eliminates the popping up and over larger rocks That used to infuriate me...

Well I messed up and waited too long. I originally wanted the Everything attachments Land plane but wasn't sure what size to get. I knew my 2840 Montana could not handle much of a land plane and I knew I was upgrading to a bigger cab tractor soon. How much bigger I had no Idea. With 0% for 84...

Okay I bit the bullet and moved up to a CT5555 waiting on the backhoe delivery and install. I'm glad my dealer worked with me. I suspect that with my 4960' to 5100' elevation power production is lower than advertised. I think that the normally aspirated Daedong 3 cylinder is greatly hindered by...

The brochure at the dealer is where I got my information. So you pay $2500+ for 2.7hp? That would barely offset the AC operation. That seems very odd to me. Is it possible the HP quoted in the brochure is wrong too? It says 37.6hp in the brochure Seems all the 5 series engines 50hp and up are...

I want to purchase a Bobcat 2540 but was considering a 2535 however after testing it, It is too under powered for my hilly terrain and use. I have a 13% grade section of driveway I have to grade and I don't think the 2535 will be able to do that steep grading. It barely made it with the backhoe...

Fixed Stripped splined coupler on front axle

Well I was doing some scraper work on my road. I had the 5' scraper on the 3 point. The material was freshly graded windrows from full size grader work. I had to move the materials the grader left blocking my gate. I heard no grinding or poping. I had to do multiple 3 point turns. The work...

Well I checked my Loader pressure and found it at least 300psi down from factory specifications. I adjusted it with shims as referenced in another post. I by accident a little while back was dragging a pile of dirt while using down pressure and I that found that I stopped moving. I looked and to...

Well I can honestly say this works great it has some sticky material on the inside so the bottle won't slip. It is adjustable for bottle size and will not fall off my loader mount even when I bang it with my knee. It just yields to my knee and snaps back into place. The strap makes it easy to...

yes I have a 40oz bottle that I use that works fine.

I have used this for three road maintenance sessions and can honestly say that I love this thing. I will post pictures later but I can honestly say I'm a lover of this hydration product!

Well with the washers I was able to get 2300 psi at 2000 rpm and plan to leave it at that. Note: it was tough to start the threads on the cap as the washers hit the spring creating a great deal of preload to overcome. I suspect the spring is weak while the spring height is still at OEM height.

Well I finally tested it and it was a needles width below 1900. That's about 300+ psi low. I could not find any shims. So I got a stainless steel washer with the same OD that is just a smidge thicker than the 3 shims in the valve already. I will try to adjust it this weekend. I saw on here that...

Thank you I would likely have not thought about the blade becoming unsafe due to un-level conditions.

I will check for trailer wiring and try to confirm work light suggestion.

Those of you who have one of these scraper blades is your pin fitment loose like mine? Like a 3/4" pin is very loose but a 7/8" pin just barely won't fit. I'm in the process of lubing and making sure the bolts are all tight to put this thing in service. I hope the learning curve is not too...

I will need to look at it to see if I can figure out what it is. I was more concerned about condition and adjustability than the model name. The blade tilt is less important now as I am setting up a top and tilt so I can do it from the operators seat.

Some of the holes have never been used and the fit is the same. So they are not worn. Just seems odd. I'm thinking a metric bolt like 20mm may fit better so I may look into that option. I thought possibly there were metric pins used in Europe.

well I should have been more clear it is the vertical pins for adjusting the blade arm for angling the blade or to offset the arm.

I took a plate off to mount a diverter valve. The connectors were hidden between the plate and gas tank.

My scraper blade I bought is very old. It requires a 6" long pin however 3/4" fits very loose and 7/8" is too big to fit at all. Is this normal? The holes are all still round and not at all damaged. Is it possible it takes a metric pin like 20mm?

Take a look at the link and I think you will be suprised at how innovative and simple this solution is. I was amazed at how well it works.

I kept looking for a good solution for a cup holder for my 40oz thermal bottle and could not find any solution for my thermal mug. I then stumbled on this ant it was perfect! It sticks to my FEL mount and is both easy to use and out of the way. Here in Tucson hydration is so important. GYM...

Well I ordered the BX-Piranha tooth bar. My bucket is 65" exactly on the inside measurement and the BX tooth bar has options every 1/4". I could order a 64.75" or a 65" in the BX. The ETA tooth bar is 60" or 66" and was too far off on fitment for my liking.

I found this and it seems quite comprehensive.

I bought my HF QH for $59 plus tax when they brought out a nasty dusty old box that was likely in the back for years. It was discounted to $79 but I offered $59 and the manager said fine but it can't be returned unless it is physically defective. I said fine and never turned back. I figured I...

This fixes the top hook issue. It says harbor freight top hook fix Top hook fix I use this for item that can't be used with a hook. I put in place where the hook was. Adapter I just hated buying these for everything. sleeves

I've seen numerous videos where the piranha tooth bar was clearing overgrowth. ETA how well does your bar do with over growth? Videos?

ETA said unless I had 45 or more HP the bolts in the cutting edge are not needed.

Weight is a good point to take note of. Will check that out for sure. Just checked and a 66" is about 55# for the piranha bar vs 66# for the Wicked both were estimates but I was told they are very close to quoted weights for the 66" bars. I doubt 16# will change much but it is something to consider.

I think I am down to two options. The wicked tooth bar from Everything Attachments and the Piranha Tooth Bar. What is making me lean this way is the ability to clear overgrowth and pull out saplings. When it rains out here the over growth can be very problematic. I have a 1950s flail mower but...

On my land there is no caliche it is a mix of hard pack and rock.

That looks interesting but I think the EA one may be more versatile. Going to need to do more research.

Not really looking for a cutting edge wanting a tooth bar for breaking up the ground and for better penetration into piles of dirt and rocks.

What tooth bar is best for the rocky terrain of Southern AZ. I have a small Montana 2840 working at an elevation 4960 so the power on a normally aspirated 4cyl is a bit lower than the rated HP. I wont be able to damage any I have looked at but I'm leaning to the wicked tooth bar from...

Well I'm resurrecting this thread as I'm reasonably sure my pressures are not right. I'm happy however to post that the pressure setting I found out is 2200 psi + or -100 psi. So I think I will be checking it this weekend. FYI The loader is a Montana FEL 100 made by Amerequip.

Thanks for the link but I decided to weld on a 3" wide 10" long 3/8" thick plate and welded on the original pivots to that. Should last a while I hope. I just got sticker shock on the price of seats and none were a direct fit.

Link?

Really the topic says it all. The pivot bracket on the bottom of the seat broke off the seat pan. Seems it rusted. Must have been the previous owner as mine is kept inside and I'm in Tucson. So... Any ideas on a 2007 Montana 2840 for seat replacement options?

I have a Montana 2840 with the 100 loader. I can't produce any down force on my bucket. It also has a float position in the down valve. I think this is normal but I have seen other small tractors with loaders that can actually lift the front of the tractor off the ground. Is mine operating...

Hi again, I have a model 100 loader on my 2840 Montana. Curved lift arms. I want to have better lift capacity for my loader. I believe I have a low relief valve pressure issue and wonder what is the best way to check the relief pressure. What is the proper way to check and set the relief...

I posted this in the Montana section not realizing there was I hydraulic section. So here is my question in the correct area. :confused2: Hi all, I have a project I want to do and wonder if anyone has tapped into the power beyond on a 2840 or similar Montana tractor. I have access to a couple 3...

I have a Montana 2840 and found I could not lift much with the FEL. I got 300 lbs of suitcase weights that I just hung on the back of my box blade and it is much better at lifting. I don't know the lifting capacity but I now have the tractor firmly planted even when unable to lift the load...

Hi all, I have a project I want to do and wonder if anyone has tapped into the power beyond on a 2840 or similar Montana tractor. I have access to a couple 3 point hydraulic tools like a 3 point back hoe. So setting up an accessory power beyond would seem to be something I should put on my list...

I picked it up and it is a bit rough. Already started on repairs and cleaning. The drive shaft slip yoke was rusted so I could not hook it up but I'm working on it.

I'm considering a mower for my 1.5 mile steep driveway and have an opportunity to get a 6' wide cat 1 flail mower. I was looking for a brush hog thinking it was what I needed, but I found an old lightly used Ford flail mower. It has chains with triangular cutting tools at the end of the chains...

Well I'm having issues with loader lifting capacity. I use a 5' box blade for ballast but it isn't enough at times. I will be adding antifreeze or rust inhibitor. That isn't going to get me that much weight in a 9.5-24 ag tire. I would like to get wheel weights so I can lift a bit more weight...
