I can't take credit for that either. lol

I build the gray expanded metal part. I welded the expanded metal to the flat metal frame. If you look closely you can see the 4 nuts that hold it on. It can be removed easily for service. Any other protection you see is OEM.

Here's mine, I even made one for under the tractor to protect my hydraulic filters.

you said you welded it. I'm assuming you did a butt weld. Can you sleeve it with another piece of metal and weld it on? I think with a sleeve on it that will be the last place it will break again.

I've got to ask. How do you bend the mounting plate 3 times a day. When my implement is on correctly, it would take an unnatural force to bend them.

I would use caution reinforcing the cross bar too much. That is the weak link and easy to fix. I bent mine on my L6060, because one side of the forks (w/6' extensions) I was using unlatched and put all the pressure on one side. That twisted the ssqa mounts out of time. I cut the tube and put a...

famous words, "Hold my beer and watch this."

Why is the last place we look for info, the owners manual. lol Looked it up and the manual says clean the air filter every 100 hours. So I keep looking and it tells you how to clean them. Also says to replace every year. You guys still give just as good advise as the owners manual. Thanks again.

jaydee, thanks for the link. I was under the impression that these filters were made to be cleaned. After reading that article, now I'm not. I guess it's back to Kubota for another $75 filter. lol

5030, how many hours do you do a year. I only do about 100 to 150hrs. I still like to clean or replace the air filter when I do. I has a lot of dust in it. The air indicator hasn't changed, but I assume by the time that indicator says you need to do something its really plugged.

Ok guys, I searched and didn't find anything, quickly. How does everyone clean the air filter on their tractor. I know blowing air into it will sometimes pack the dirt in tighter. Is there an air filter cleaning solution that works? Just soap and water? Spray with degreaser and wash out then let...

I have a 2019 F250 Lariat, with the 6.2, with 45000 miles. Always had diesel to tow with until they got so burdened with emissions. I was plugging the exhaust filters. (not enough highway miles). I've been really happy with this truck, so happy I just order another F250 with the 7.3. Ford is...

I have a GR L6060 also and when I do the math on weight I was over loaded on my 10000lb steel trailer. I came up with close to 10000lbs loaded weight. Now, that was with my forks on the front tied down, tractor, loader and backhoe and I also have loaded tires. I took the weights listed in owners...

I like it on the tractor, especially when mowing. I mow in straight lines and have to turn around at the end of the row. I don't think I would have one w/o power steering. It might give you a beating in rough terrain.

I've had this on 3 tractors now. I keep adding weight as the tractors get bigger. I added a hook to tow logs, etc. The wing plates are so I can pick it up with my forks. Last add was the bracket to add suit case weights. The box is filled with old wheel weights and I keep my favorite chain and 3...

I use these orange 5 gal cans. They have a large opening but drop 5 gals in about a minute.

I have a few rentals in the country. Septic tank lids need to be dug up with not much notice, a stump here and there, a culvert, just because I could. I have the 9' back hoe for my tractor and wouldn't be without it. I love the convenience of it being there any time I need or want it. I can...

I hear ya. I was telling my wife the same thing. She told me tractors are not like shoes. That doesn't seem right. lol

I was just thinking about putting my chains on and go get some of my firewood out of the woods before all the frost and snow is gone. The problem I have with that is I use the tractor to blow snow at my home and the wood is at another location. While I'm stripping the tractor of the snow blower...

If your cutting thru say 12" of snow the 12" wall of uncut snow is causing enough resistance in slippery conditions to stop you from turning. If you are only blowing 4" of very light and fluffy snow now it will turn. Try to turn your tractor when scooping a bucket of dirt. A little exaggeration...

You still have a good deal there. I bought mine new with the tractor and I think it was $10000 to $12000 installed. I've had a few front mount snow blowers. Non of them will turn a corner in deep snow. They will curve but not turn. To do a 90 degree turn you need to cut it off like pieces of a...

Hayden, I just read these new posts. I'll see If I can get something off my pump tomorrow for you. I think your pump was a little bigger than mine. But I'll get a picture of any numbers i can find. I don't have chains on the front and have the same problem trying to steer anything more than a...

I was asking the ck21kioti, the op. Isn't he the one looking to buy?

Mind if I ask why Kioti is not on that list after owning one since 09?

I had the dealer install 2 rear remotes on my Gr L6060 and one of them wouldn't return to neutral position on it's own. The dealer sent a tech to my shop and he said the installing tech tightened the stack of valves to tight. He loosened and re-torqued the stack and all has been good since. My...

I want one of those scales

The only place people with covid can work is health care.

No, they asked if I did any thing for others (for pay) and i told them no just my own properties. I feel ripped off, but I can't find it any cheeper any where else. I insure 2 wheelers, 2 snowmobiles and a Spyder for about the same money as 1 tractor.

It use to be "it is what it is", the last year I find myself saying "that makes no sense" more than ever before.

Is there any way the extension is causing the vibration?

If you get a chance take a picture and post it so I can see your pump set up. If I like it better than mine maybe I can copy it.

I got chains with my tractor and snow blower set up. I used them the first year, but the chains chipped my cement going in and out of the garage and leave gouges in the asphalt where they spin. The last 2 years I haven't used the chains when snow blowing and have no problems with traction. If I...

I've had a mini split for several years. They are efficient and work down to 0 degrees. As the temp gets colder the efficiency goes down. You need to know that when the heat is going in the house cold air is being expelled where the mini split unit is mounted. When cold (A/C) air is going in the...

I didn't notice any vibration, but i was concerned about all that weight on my PTO shaft. So I got a piece of metal the width of the draw bar and thick enough so I had to pick up on the pump to get it between the pump bracket and draw bar. Then I welded it to the clamp that bolts to the draw bar...

The pump has the female spline that mates to the PTO shaft. It has a bracket that hangs down on both sides of the draw bar. That keeps the pump housing from turning and a clamp goes behind that bracket to keep the pump from sliding off the PTO shaft. Not sure what advantage there is to that set...

I insure mine because I move it between properties. without looking it up somewhere near $600.00. I have to list every attachment that might be on it even though I can't have them all on it at the same time.

awesome job. I love making things when I have the time.

I needed a small lift for my Cyclone rake to pickup the motor (100lbs) and mount it to the trailer. I also need a small lift to put the 80lb hydraulic pump on the rear PTO. I have just finished welding it up. Now I need to paint it and se if it will actually work for both.

I can't take the credit for the install. I purchased the blower as a package with the tractor, so the dealer installed it. They did a really good job. There are quick disconnects for the hydraulic lines at the rear, front and middle near the quick disconnects for my loader arms. Makes it just 2...

I think these hydraulic snow blowers were first designed to be used on skid steers with more hydraulic pressure and flow. Then they came out with the power pack hydro unit to mount on the 3pt hitch and run off the rear PTO, giving the sub compact tractors enough hydraulics to run the blower...

I have a Norse 450 on my Gr L6060. I bought the Norse for close to what used winches were going for. I'm a week end warrior in the woods not making a living with it. It has been a good winch for me. I have a quick attach and it won't work on the winch. I assumed they did that on purpose, because...

A couple more

Here are a bunch of pictures. if you need anything more specific just let me know.

Another good trick for the first snow blow of the season, or any time you are starting on bare gravel, is to just drive the tractor up and down the area you are going to blow. You don't want to pack it all down just enough so that the blower will have a 2 wheel tracks to ride on. This will pack...

I'll get you some pictures in the next couple of days and post them here. I'm also making a small lift (for lack of better word) out of a trailer jack. To help with the pump install. After it's done (and works) I'll post some pictures.

I use my Scotts speedy seeder, crank the flow all the way up.

I have the same unit (Erskine) on my Gr L6060. Awesome blower. The only thing I don't like is the way they mounted the hydraulic pump on the rear PTO. The pump is very heavy (my guess is 80LBS). It is very hard to install by hand. I am in the process of building a small lift to help with the...

I use this ballast box when using my dump trailer and loader. There is a ball hitch receiver on the back under the hook. I can drop the trailer load it then go around and pick it back up and take it to dump it. If you don't have a heavy box, when you dump the trailer the 3 point hitch will go to...

If you think greasing a tractor is challenging, you need to grease a wheeler or side by side. I think the engineers work together to see how contorted a body would have to be to get to their fittings. And of coarse when you finally get into position to get that last hardest to get to...

I emailed Deltran (Battery Tender brand), looking for a solar powered charger for a dump trailer that is parked in an area w/o electricity. This was the conversation. Dennis, You will want to look at the 17 watt or the 35 watt panel depending on the amp hour rating on your battery or...

Any way you can hang a tarp (off trees or the side of a building) at an angle to make a lean-to you can drive under? Even if the snow doesn't completely slide off a push broom will clean it off by pushing up on the inside to help it slide off, then you are ready for the next storm. It would be...

Mine is protected now.

I use OEM filters and oil, if the OEM offers synthetic. It would be just my luck to save a few dollars on a filter only to have a costly repair caused by my saving a few dollars. I keep an oil change and filters for engine and hydraulics on hand. I just did the hydraulic fluid and filter change...

Looked up Maxx-D couldn't find a price on a 14K 14ft dump. Only spec I found different was 3" chanel cross brace was 12" in spaced on max-d and 14" on big tex. Would be nice to compare price too. Their dealer network wasn't very close to me either.

If your in a pinch for time, I would go get 4 new connectors and replace them all and be done. I think you will find the roller balls in the fittings are so corroded they will never work well, IF you can get them to work at all. good luck and keep us posted with what you do.

I agree with what has been said. Look to see if something else has caused it. But there is no way I could leave that nasty rust stain there to keep rusting. I would put a wire brush on a grinder, sander or drill and brush the rust, degrease it and paint it. It will be an hour well spent. Now...

Most have a sequence to allow rear PTO operation w/o an operator in seat. My Gr L6060, you have to put in neutral, park brake on and lift the seat up onto the steering wheel and the rear PTO will operate chipper or.......

Sorry, I only looked at 1of the pound specs they break it down fork and backing plate. Just looked on Titan again. 196 lbs for just the 48" forks and another 120# for the backing plate. They didn't offer a lighter duty set that i could find.

I hate to disconnect safety switches. That being said I will put a bypass switch in so I can temporarily disconnect it for the needed job. I have a grandson that drives my tractor and I want all the safety features working when he's in the drivers seat.

I've got a Grand L 6060 it lifts about the same. I purchased a set of 48" x 4000 lb forks. They have worked fine for me, they weigh about 200lbs. I even have a long set of extensions that I put on them to pick up my snowmobile and put it in the back of my truck. I wouldn't get a set that max out...

Quite often when we ask a question, we know the answer. We are just hoping for a simpler solution.

I was pushing brush and debris out of a new road I was making in the woods and the corner of the box blade caught a very solid root and bent one of the 3ph arms. At the time I had a JD 4310 turf tires with chains. Pushing evenly on the box the tractor will usually lose traction before bending...

I probably don't need them either, but sometimes you just can't break a habit. I just use a couple rubber bungie straps.

My tractor is at another property most of the summer. I keep it at the house to do snow removal in the winter. I back my JD x320 w/bagger into the woods and dump the bags. I can keep piling them up and once a year push it over and compact it with the tractor when I have it home for something...

ttener, have you ever used the unloader hose to unload the leaves. I'm thinking it might work for me to unload into my dump trailer to haul away.

The ditch leaves are all stages of dry on top, damp in the middle and of coarse very wet on the bottom. If it will get me down to just the very wet on the bottom. I'm hoping I can rake them out on the side let the water drain and then go back and pick up with the vacuum. As it is know I shovel...

Ttener, I hear ya. At this stage of the game my first question should be. What is the biggest, most expensive unit you have and just get it. It would save me all the hassle of the 1 to 2 weeks of research and getting everyone's opinion I can get. You and i both know where this will end up. I've...

The mower deck is a 52". My biggest use and need for this is the almost 400' of steep ditches I have that collect leaves. My mower w/bagger can't get into the ditch. I'm going to get the estate 32' vacuum hose to do the ditches. Which do you think would work better with the vacuum hose the XT or...

I just purchased a 14K, 14ft dump trailer. The price was $11500 plus tax & fees. I looked all around and only found 1 at a dealer near me (I went out 150 miles looking). The price is the price, no dickering. When I picked it up they said if I hadn't called and told them I was on my way down to...

Thanks for all the replays. I'm leaning towards the Cyclone, it has some features I like solid mount to the rear of zero turn and hoses to pick up and discharge into a trailer. I'm deciding between the XL and the Z-10 there is only about $300 difference. The Z-10 has a 10" intake hose and a 10...

Ok guys, I'm looking at getting a lawn vacuum The DR and Cyclone seem to be the most popular. I have a small lot but a LOT of leaves. I use a power flow bagger on my JD on all areas that the tractor will navigate. I also have about 400 ft of deep (3 to 4 ft) ditches, I have to take a fork and...

I switched to the T6 15W40 because my Gr L6060 is a turbo and I wanted to use 100% synthetic and Kubota doesn't offer full synthetic for the engine.

I use a strap on all 4 tires. It will actually squat the tires into the trailer as I ratchet them down. I use to use chains from and rear but I like the straps better, holds front to back plus squats it down and no chain damage.

The picture you showed is a fuseable link block. The 4 windows in the front should show a thin metal bar (the bar will be burned off if that part of the fuse is burned out). I "think" the power from the battery will go to the first big lug, then the other big lug will attach to the starter. The...

I put a tie down strap from 1 stabilizer arm to the other to keep them from bleeding down. I also have mine on an oversized pallet so I can move it around with my forks.

Because my tractor has the region cat I try not to run it at less than 2000 to 2400 RPM's. Unless I need 540 PTO speed which is 2900 RPM's.

Oh one other thing. When I first got the unit it didn't have an oil cooler on the tank. Erskine said it wasn't necessary with just a snowblower because of the colder temps. I ended up adding the cooler after using it a few times and laser temp checked my fluid @ 160 to 180 degrees.

I have an Erskine hydraulic snow blower with the rear PTO power pack. It works very well. The only thing I would want to do differently is the way the pump is mounted. I have to put the pump on the PTO shaft. The pump weighs around 80 pounds. It is very heavy to man handle into place with the...

I went from this: to this:

This is a Grand L6060 with a 80" hydraulic snowblower. The hydraulic blowers attach to the loader arms, giving you a lot more adjustment for the blower. It has a cutting edge just like a bucket and will lift as high as the loader arms will reach. This will take care of any snow mother nature can...

I went with the hydraulic snowblower when I purchased my tractor. It was maybe $2000 more than the mechanical mid PTO blower. It works great, the rear pump is about 80lbs and mounts directly on the rear PTO. I wish it had a PTO shaft for hook up, it would be much easier. I can take the blower...

Mines not as fancy but it holds my saw and I won't dump it out of the bucket (again).

I have a Kubota Grand L6060 with a erskine 79" hydraulic snowblower and I find it has plenty of power to blow away all my snow. Can I bog it down? Of coarse, but with a little common sense I can move a whole snow bank with it. A snowblower can require a lot of horse power if you believe you have...

How often do you guys sharpen, flip or change your chipper blades. I have about 7 hours on my chipper and I can see a difference between new and now. It still chips , but I had to slow down the feed from new. I have a woodmax 8" hydraulic feed.

This is my 15 gallon storage and pump station. 3 different pumps, the orange one is my favorite. My fill is on the side and can be filled standing on the ground.

I enjoy this kind of art also. This table is in the making. Pintrest is a good source for ideas.

I getting ready to purchase a 3 point hitch winch (Norse 450) for my tractor (Kubota Gr L 6060 cab). Having no experience with a winch before I was wondering if my I match quick attach and the top hydraulic link are ok. Will the winch put too much pull on either? Obviously I'm not a professional...

Well I finally got my hydraulic top cylinder on and working today. After many weeks of research and asking questions, it is on and works. Thanks to everyone who answered a question, gave an opinion or posted a post related to hydraulic top cylinders. A special thanks to Brian from fit rite...

Does it matter if you put the tilt cylinder on the left or right side? I was always of the mind to put it on the right. That was where the factory put the manual one and all of them I have seen are on the right. The reason I ask is on my Gr L6060 cab the power beyond is on the right. It will...

I got my Grand L6060 w/cab and back hoe about a year ago. I was replacing my JD 4310 w/ hoe. I went with the larger HP because I was getting a 79" hydraulic snow blower (Erskine). I do a lot of mowing, bush hogging, box blade or rock rake yard smoothing. The rear tires are loaded. Most every...

It is snowing here today so I couldn't go out and do much. So I made a welders helping hand.

I had this on 3 tractors now. 21HP New holland, 4310 John Deere and now a Gr L6060. I keep adding weight and paint. Not sure how heavy it is, the center is filled with old wheel weights. The wings are so I can pick it up with my forks.

I'm looking at the adjustable aluminum ball mounts. I have 4 trailers 2" and 2 5/16" balls. They are all have different hitch heights. they range from 5000 pounds to 14000 pounds. The aluminum mounts look nice and are easily adjustable. Anyone have any experience with them. I'm wondering if they...

Anyone using one of these? Are they worth the xtra money and how do they last.

They say we got a foot of snow coming tomorrow. WA HOO!

I'm not new to tractors but I'm new here. I am replacing my John Deere 4310 with a Kubota L6060. Now for my newbie question. Where is everyone getting insurance for their tractor if they are using it on and off their property?
