    MF 1835M loader support collapsed on tractor

    Do you know the rated capacity of you FEL? It might be that the FEL mounts on the tractor are not rated for that specific model FEL. My FEL is rated for 1000 lbs and hopefully the mount rating matches also.

    MF 1835M loader support collapsed on tractor

    That’s a couple really bad breaks. I have MF1533 with a 120 FEL and my mounts look a lot more structural stronger than yours. The only problem I’ve had is broken and loose bolts that attach the loader mount to the tractor frame. I’m definitely going to add looking for cracks to my maintenance list.

    Dealer charge for loading tires

    the tires in my tractor have beet juice in them right from the factory. I have the quick mount backhoe that I don’t leave on the tractor because I use mostly 3 point attachments. So I really need the loaded tires. Had a hole in on of the tires and had a construction tire company come out to fix...

    Summit GX Series Grapples - 54" & 60" Made in USA

    I actually know the FEL lifting weight buy experience. I once lifted a boiler that weighed 1300 lbs with no attachment. I could just barely lift it so the specs were right.

    Summit GX Series Grapples - 54" & 60" Made in USA

    They seem to be a bit heavy for a a small tractor. My FEL has a capacity of 1000 lbs. So with the smallest one it would decrease the carrying capacity of the FEL by 25%. I think i will stick to using the pallet forks attachment. Wish there was a grapple modification for the pallet fork attachment.

    Getting the wheel/tire combination I want on a new tractor

    Would R4 tires have better traction as compared to R1 tires in a wood lot type of working surface. I have on occasion dug trenches with the tires trying to pull a log in the woods. It seems to be a tractor weight-engine HP- tire type/ size type of problem. The difference between R1 and R4 tires...

    Getting the wheel/tire combination I want on a new tractor

    Last summer I replaced my front R1s with 8 ply tires. The originals were 6 ply and there is a big difference in how much the tires handle max load in the bucket.

    Bonded or Floating Neutral for generator?

    Here is a drawing of how to connect a generator. Note the neutral is not bonded to the ground wire at the generator. The ground is bonded to the neutral at the meter socket(the preferred method) or a the main electrical panel.

    Bonded or Floating Neutral for generator?

    No ,it will not. A GFCI receptacle or breaker will “sense” the difference in the amount of electricity flowing into the circuit to that flowing out. so if there is current flowing somewhere else besides between the ungrounded conductor(hot) and the grounded conductor( neutral) the GFCI will...

    HD box blade?

    I have a Woods 6ft on my 33hp and it does a really good job for road grading. Bought used from a rental yard for about half the new price. It looked like brand new and maybe rented out just a couple times.
