All snow here 0* now with 24" predicted starting Sunday PM to Monday night - we can deal with snow - better than ice. Daughter is in the NC mountains and expects up to 1" ice - she's ready with generator for a day or two, but concern it could be longer outage if they get that much ice and...

Till, level, seed, rake in seed, compact but not with a heavy roller - just enough to bed the seed. Then cover with straw or some material to keep it moist. Don't compact before seeding, other than the spiked roller setup.

Thats great service CloverKnoll, dealers like that are nice to have and good for repeat business. Hope the OP check arrived by now, and hope he is just out driving his new deutz and forgot to update.

Kioti will likely be in the middle between LS and JD/Kubota. Since you mostly need a mower, then the smaller sub-compacts will do the job nicely like the Massey or LS125, or BX2380, or CS Kioti models.

I'd look at the MT225S with Yanmar 25HP and 19 at PTO - it's a compact but lifts more and has a 3 range hydro. Then as TT stated above the M125 SSQA is smaller than standard. Here's a link to another post discussing the smaller non standard SSQA...

NoGal - very nice machine! I like the way they ran all the hoses and a spare set to be able to run higher flow too - that's a very nice addition. The hose protection and fit and finish look good too. Hope you get some time to test it out once it warms up - next month :-) Thanks for the pics...

No emissions on anything 25 HP and under - so the manufacturers are putting these "25" hp engines in larger frames (like the Kubota 2502) The "in quotes" 25 HP is because many of these same engines are in larger machines with a turbo etc. and produce 35 HP. Check out the CI, and bore and stroke...

Where are you again? Update your profile location with a region/area of the state/country?

Welcome to TBN BRH444 - either tractor will do what you want, the 2013 Kubota is more HP, 32 vs 25 on the JD but the JD is 7 years newer. The 2013 Kubota 32 HP unit is "pre emissions" meaning no regen etc, which is desirable. Believe JD Loader is around 800Lbs capacity, and Kubota is 1100 lbs...

HD - see you could get another 12-15" of white stuff this weekend? My coworkers in NE Phila (Hatboro/Horsham) area are all getting ready for a big storm predicted. Time to get the plows ready?

Nice - glad to see it working, now you need a wood splitter :-) It never ends.

Sounds like you are not getting an R18Pro with cab then? Trust they accommodated this with some favorable treatment on price or implements?

Welcome to TBN Big Cheese! You will enjoy the content and the people here and depth and scope of most discussions (and opinions too :-)) So beyond the Kubotas, and Gehl skid steer, is that a Cat Mini Excavator 301.8?

Yes Green acres we sent it your way! We got 8" fresh snow last night.

I put my barn lights on a Kasa switch to turn on remotely at night if needed - its 250' from the wireless point and works fine - then another Wifi plug for oil and hydro pan heaters on the tractor.

AlbertC can you post a close up or provide the hanger set up you used? Appears to be a hook with a loop for a screw. Thanks !

Maybe, yes, I get grumpy when I can see the neighbors spotlights on for hours with no apparent reason from 500' away. I did set up 2 security cameras with spotlights but directed to illuminate a small area, and only on for 30 seconds. I will say these cameras can be annoying if poorly set up...

That's an awesome job organizing everything - did a great layout too - gave me lots of ideas to work with! You are setting a bad example for the rest of us :-)

Mine's 25 YO this year, never used the turn signals and it is protected by the dash. But I regularly hit the headlight switch getting on/off turning them on.

Nice tractor and you're putting it right to work! Also, looks like a good load of 24 partial sheets 3/4 plywood?

Not knowing her/their exact financial situation or liquidity, would determine how much to put in a IRA. Second, with the first one going to college - 16 months from now, that's not a lot of time for compounding interest. Reducing the % going into the 401K and put more into the IRA, how much in...

How about some pictures?

Very nice trucks Dennis! All restored in great shape. Started driving a tractor, then a 57 International pickup, then a 65 Chevy 10 with the 292 6, similar to your 10.

Thank you for sharing - again! The majority of us here are inside in the winter, outside when its snow to clear etc. Many of those trees should just come down or be removed, but if this is the owner's prerogative that's understandable.

His is an aftermarket loader he is adapting to the 2900, so may/may not have a float detent.

Nice rugged mount you built! With your fab skills are you converting the bucket to a SSQA or maybe later? I did the SSQA conversion on my B21 two years ago - it was $$ for the adapter but it opens up so much more capability of forks, grapple and the 3rd function.

I did a SSQA conversion on my B21 two years ago and its not inexpensive - but well worth it! My bucket was fine, just wanted a SSQA and forks, front plow, grapple. If you don't need/want SSQA, then welding your existing bucket is the least expensive, then the next option getting a nearly new...

I can see it working OK like float on the FEL it has it's place. But I can dig up sod, or smooth out an area with the BH by feathering the boom, bucket and stick. You don't know what your missing until you don't have it I suppose.

it's looking good - instead of raising the height of the towers, you are going up and over the hood - that works too! Just want to minimize any torquing of the frame. I see you attached the front too - but couldn't see the detail in the pics but it looks solid. At the end of the day you...

Fuddy - any size excavator can make a mess of a yard it's more in how you drive them. Once you learn how to turn and drive you won't tear it up unless it's wet then any machine will leave a footprint or divot. Friend is an excavator operator and can drive my little 2 ton or a larger machine...

Are the attachment connections 30MM and what's the on center distance? Can you get the standard 1-2T buckets etc?

Congratulations on your R18 Pro Mini Ex purchase! How long is the wait or delivery time?

Paul Harvey - Why does your third pic in your post #191 look like there is a crown? Or is this the entry into a garage and it is sloped?

They are a dealer for Rippa and other equipment too - best to have a dealer to fall back on. Home | Fc Construction Machinery Group From the videos they have a pretty large operation and lots of machines in crates for assembly.

steve - thats perfectly sized for big hands and fingers to get the chocolates out with beveled edges on the plastic tray :-) Enjoy it Fuddy

I plow with my Kubota just fine with the rear blade - I have a front blade now too, but for years, ran it with the bucket and rear blade, driving forward angled at 30*. The rear blade is the cleanup blade now in forward or reverse.

We installed 7.2KW - 24 300 W LG Neon Panels with Solar Edge Inverter/Optimizers, 11 years ago - got a state rebate of $4500 and Federal tax credit of $8300 so net cost was $13K or $1.85 a watt. We could have saved $5K if we DIYed it but the installer did all the connections, meters and...

Well then, if your going to "hack up" the 3PT blade, and move that cross member back, might add a receiver tube to the blade too - would make it easy to move around without connecting the 3PT arms. But before you make all these mods, just install the blade in the back and plow snow with the...

He/she appreciates your grooming for easier travel - can't be easy going thru 30-40" of snow even with long legs!

Nice and sorry about the emoji's - iPhone issue. Cab's are nice if you want/need to be out of the elements, but the smaller machines tend to be cramped inside - I'm 6'3" and fit on my machine but would not want a cab on it. The Rippa18 is larger than the Terror 18 machine as I recall.

If you need that hitch, cut off the receiver hitch and move it back flush with the SSQA frame, or leave it off all together. You could also mount the receiver hitch on the top of the cross piece on the SSQA which may allow it to clear the blade cross piece. I would not modify the blade cross...

R[emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]] isn’t a cab model- it has. A nice cage tho

Agreed the R18Pro is a nice machine - $15-16K? Also, I looked at and liked the bigger machines but the attachments were $5-6K which for my occasional use could not justify vs the smaller machines.

Yes, as Dodgeman say, Flyfishin, get the ballast box and get the QA to three pt or quick hitch set up. Also if you watched the video installing the 72" MMM that's a chore on flat concrete - on a rough wood barn floor even less "fun". look at getting a RFM as others have suggested.

Vote # 2 but how about 2 on the front and 1 on the back? I realize it's two printing so more $.

Very nicely done down to the pegged flooring! I have 4 of the same Advents as part of an older audio system in my office. How is your "barn" heated, as there are no ducts evident?

TConnolly - that's an understatement, the barn is fantastic, the framing detail, lights - no wires, then the cars really add a lot of character! Then your loft area - all very nicely done, Thank you for sharing!

Max24 covered the key points, but what is your total KW load needed? Usually 8-10KW is the low side for a generator, and 16-20KW is typical - what do you need? For example, if you have gas heat, hot water, dryer and stove, you don't need a big generator. So tally up your 240V load and figure...

Flyfishin several other things - Have the dealer go over the mower deck removal and installation - if you intend to remove the loader often - do that too - You are getting a Cab yes? if not have the dealer install a canopy - Have a flat area preferably inside to store your implements - A flat...

Looking4new - you don't need or want 3Phase for your needs as it just complicates things more than needed. Also generators are usually sized for peak loads, e.g. well pumps (mine draws 22 amps on start) and other large loads electric dryer/water heater etc, or AC units, but you can get by with a...

Your wife might know my wife, who doesn't need to be convinced I'm a bad influence :-)

Go for it - never too much machine :-)

48" is not too much - we have 72" between the Fridge to sink and stove side. Two can work in the kitchen and not trip over each other. Overall it's looking good!

There are two BH M4011 older and M4509 newer BH and frames for that series and Messicks has a good parts list Kubota M4509&M4509V BACKHOE (M4509(V) Backhoe) Parts Diagrams

That's a very nice tractor, and well worth what you are asking. One thing I might suggest is less is more sometimes. Meaning I would not list all the maintenance and new parts etc. as an inexperienced person looks at this and sees future maintenance if it needed all these things now.. Keep...

Hi Brant - welcome to TBN! Nice machine you have there and I have its smaller brother B21. You can run other things but need to add a valve block or third function valve to do that. I hook up my wood splitter to the BH ports and split wood so you can do that BUT, you cannot use the 3PTH when...

Mrmikey - that's $.18 per KWH US cost, which is .10 lower than here in NH but your usage is pretty high for 600SF and single guy. You must have an electric water heater which does consume a lot of electricity (consider putting a timer on the water heater) and the heat pumps are usually more...

TexTractor - that's a good machine for the price and perfect for NoGal size wise and price too. Rippa has a good reputation for the most part people are happy with the machines - they are the OEM and build the machines and have a US presence so that's a plus.

GG - like your window fix! that's thinking ahead, and yes ice is the worst. Daughter lives in the Smoky Mtns. roads are narrow, hilly terrain, they get the occasional ice storm, but when it happens its dangerous as they don't deal with these conditions often.

We got 1.5" Monday night, which I cleaned off the walks and up/down the driveway and to eliminate slippery spots near the house. Then the Tuesday night storm was to be 2" snow and 1/8" ice, well it was all ice only an 1/8" but stayed at 30* all morning so was sanding time with my bags of sand...

Understand that now, but for hilling ground, the XIX and XVIII are 3400-3600 lbs or 1.8T and most of that weight is in the bottom side near the ground which is what you want in hilly environments. When you add a cab, and increased height of the MY50 or QNT they have a higher center of gravity...

I suggest looking into Mini Split heat pumps for that size house two single 12K high efficiency heat pumps would heat and cool most of it at 1/4 to 1/3 the cost (if you have resistance heating now which is 1 watt in 1 watt out). Mini splits get 2.5 to 3 Watts of heat per watt input.

4000 Lbs

The ones you listed are not heavy the QNT45 is 1810KG or 4000 lbs. Can't see what the MY50 but suspect its in the 4-5000 lb max range too. These are larger frame but similar gear pumps and the Shantui STE35 has a 67LPM rotary pump and is 6200 lbs and a solid machine but $26K - buy once cry once..

Yes a crossbar like on my b[emoji638][emoji637] [emoji640]”above the loader pin - also you can see the loader mount to the front in this picture

Looks like you would need to extend [emoji639]” higher or so -are those uprights solid welded box frame or open? They look open from the pics - suggest stiffening or filling them in then maybe extending the height?

Had a 82 380sl but your car is much rarer - nice garages and lift too!

Also agree on Shantui STE35 - that's a nice machine, good price point, Yanmar engine, smooth controls and is a real mini excavator. I think they private-label that model for Kobelco too. If your wife said go ahead - then do it - and get the swim spa too - you only go round one time! Typhoon...

Nice work thus far - I can't answer your float question for your 2900, but most loaders have a detent position to float the bucket - pushing forward puts it in detent on my Kubota. Also, agree tying the front arms to the weight mounts is a good idea making if much more rigid. Also may suggest...

Well Walmart adjsuted the price now $16k TYPHON TERROR XIX STORM Mini Excavator – 4000lbs Trench Digger with Boom Swing, Canopy, Retractable Tracks - Walmart.com

We've had coldest December in a long time, but minimal precipitation - 4 or 5 annoyance snows 1-3" at a time. But since it's been cold, it doesn't melt in shaded areas so need to clean up these small sqaulls otherwise ice forms.

Mods I did to my Terror 18 - 230 MM Turf tracks to replace the 180MM stock tracks ( the XIX comes with 230MM tracks) - Reinforced the thumb with 1/4" steel braces - (XIX is a different design - may not need this) - Added a Tach - XIX has a tach in the standard display - Added an inline oil...

Glad you found it - if it's like my HT18 its a maze of hoses underneath the floor board they are not easy to get at! Also before you close it up, run it and see if this is near any moving parts or susceptible to movement, this could come loose again - hopefully it was just not tightened at the...

No I have the Terror 18 May 2024 with Kubota 722 and pilot controls. It's the Hightop HT18 effectively. Whereas the XIX is not a Hightop its a Vote model I believe. No changes to the Hydraulics, you need to get used to the pilot controls to feather them for smooth operation. Are you...

Avenger, I know you already have an electric heater, but if you want to add a more efficient heating and AC system with an air exchange system, this Tosot could be an option for the loading room. Aoraki 24.5 SEER2 12,000 BTU Heat Pump Mini Split AC w/ERV System-230V I installed a 9K unit from...

HD - why don't you? I know you just got the excavator, but this could open up more opportunities potentially, and in 3-5 years, sell it and you won't lose much if anything. I understand you can only run one machine at a time tho too!

What about sandwiching a block of UHMW in the slot between the two plates, to guide/glide on? I'm envisioning it being 18" long and between both of the existing bolts. Same with some thin UHMW on the outside surfaces?

This XIX is relatively recent since last August 2025 roughly if you look at the 24 reviews on the Walmart site - some reviews seem canned, but several specifically call out the hydraulic system and controls. The previous 2024 Terror XIX (std Hydraulics, and exposed wheel motors) has several...

Hi Daugen, I just installed one very similar that only 8KW 161 hours, a 2018 model, though but it was free! My neighbor, a contractor, was remodeling a house, new owners wanted "everything" connected so pulled it out. I did wire it for 75 amps if we decide to replace it in the future, We...

Then install a hydraulic cylinder; I just can't tell you how to mount it or provide any examples.

You could mount a 12V linear motor on the one end attached to the center plate too without the expense of hydraulic hoses, cylinders, valves etc, unless you already have the valves and remotes? All this seems a bit overkill to slide the blade to cover more area- I regularly do 3 drives about...

Oh GS I didn't notice that you joined 13 years ago! Then, you are well aware of the content here, but welcome anyway! ,

If your blade is the same as pictured (on a track) I would offset to what you need to cover the left rear tire and extending beyiond the right side (facing the rear of the tractor). This is what I do to plow snow beyond the right side tire, but my blade is center pin attached so I do it by...

GS - Welcome to TBN and nice first post! Sounds like you have a good handle on maintaining your B7300. You will find a lot of good reading material on here, and also note the highlighted model link - it takes you to a page about your model.

See what they say - then send them the Walmart link to "price match". The China sellers ("Machinery Asia on eBay and Machinery Online" on Walmart one) are very possibly the same end point. They put out multiple links across a wide platform trying to get as many orders in as possible. You know...

Just saw this morning $11,699 for the XIX on Walmart web site- same machine. Great deal. TYPHON TERROR XIX STORM Mini Excavator – 4000lbs Trench Digger with Boom Swing, Canopy, Retractable Tracks - Walmart.com

AirBsiscuit - as I understand, FlyFishn is trying to get this all from the dealer, all wrapped up/financed in one deal. The ballast box is $200, while a box blade (he may not need today) is much more expensive.

Bottom Line - Get the R14s Tires - Have your dealer install an additional rear hyd remote and valve - they aren't std AFAIK - Get the Landpride grapple and forks - Get the 535 Loader with 3rd Function - Get or build a ballast box - not rear wheel weights Enjoy your new tractor and using it...

Yes that works - as long as you can lift it. The forks weigh about 100Lbs total. A 5 ' Bush Hog is at least 800 lbs I think so you are getting real close to your limit. Edit -It's the cantilever aspect of the bush hog hanging off the front of your forks.

They work both ways: (just think in reverse, front to back of tractor - front is SSQA, back is 3PT) - SSQA to 3 PT Hitch - for attaching your "rear blade" to the front SSQA - 3 PT Hitch to SSQA - for attaching your SSQA implements to the rear 3 PT hitch So you migjht want to buy two of them!

You don't, and should only need the weight when using the front implements.

Also the tread depth/circumference is the same is the benefit changing them both out now. Less stress on the drivetrain.

JTKub - my experience with the Yanmar's they start better in cold weather or in general without needing the glow plugs.

Oh that adapter plate will also work on the front to attach your 3 PT plow if you decide not to get a front plow. Also you might want to have the dealer add in a 3PT ballast box too for your 3PT vs wheel weights - easier to take on and off - once you put actual wheel weights on, likely they...

HI FlyFishin - the biggest aspect for front implements is the weight and at 250Lbs for the Grapple (400 hardox = good), and 300Lbs for the Forks those are reasonable weights for these implements. So I would say you are good there, Loader Model - should be the 535 model (535 KG x 2.2Lbs = 1177...

My Kubota B21 is 24 yrs old and always has started cold - a bit noisy if below 15* and when it's this cold I get the walk behind snowblower out and do some of the pathways while the tractor warms up, (10 minutes or so). For warm up, I start it for the first minute at idle, then increase to...

Yes - i was going to suggest plowing snow in reverse only :-).

Tyrant 17 1100 MM width = 43" XIX -1150 45" Tyrant - Open wheel motors - XIX Enclosed piston Type - safer and faster travel Tyrant Flow 18+8=26 LPM XIX 35+3 (20 LPM more) Parker 3 Gear Pump setup Slew Motor Control Tyrant - none - XIX - Controlled/Hyd braking relief valving XIX has better...

Just mount if normally - valve stem out and reverse tread, then have dealer fix in the future.

The T654 appears to be more of a true utility-farm tractor with a Duetz diesel and 1000lbs heavier, but few pounds less loader lift capacity? 3200 vs 3400 on the 4058 - unless they speced them differently. Good idea to drive each one, then decide - $ for $ they seem to be the same price...

Hi Bubblehead and Happy New Year - it sounds like you are looking at the TYM 58HP with the BH like this setup? Nice machine and it has the R14 tires which would work well for your applications...

Excellent choice - glad you decided on the LX and bigger machine.

Driving the 57 international three speed since I was 10 on the farm, got a 67 Chevelle 307 in 1970 for $1500 then sold that and got a 71 Plymouth GTX 440 Magnum Automatic in 73 - great car had that for 5 years and sold it wished I would have kept it.

I've plowed a lot of snow with the loader and a manual rear 3 PT blade as you have. The loader does much of the pushing and cleaning, and the blade scrapes it clean. I don't change the angle of the rear blade much at all - it stays pinned at the maximum angle then offset (using the 3PT arms) to...

Thank you very much - this is the detail I was looking for and probably similar length. We have shading too as the house entry faces north and that area doesn't get sun in the winter, so always slippery, vs garage faces south so that pavement clears off with sun. We are due to repave the...

Lou or GRS, can you provide some more information about these drive / walk heaters? Power draw, cost to install, and cost to operate? Then how are they installed - insulated, concrete etc? My wife wants to connect our detached three-bay garage to the house 70' feet away so we don't slip and...

Mine's only a 7' but do the same to scrape the snow clear "on pavement" and I push in reverse on grass and loose stones. But I can see where these are good for gravel drives.

Here's a Kubota 2650 with cab and backhoe 300 hrs $27K Log into Facebook Then a Kioti 2610 with cab loader and front snowblower for $21K and 800 hrs in nice shape...

Another option - get a SSQA plow for the front $2K and put cab on yours for under $10K Then these are newer cab tractors near you if you wanted to keep yours or sell it. Here's a 66Hr Kioti 35HP cab tractor with 60" rear SB for $28K. Sell the SB for $3K.. Log into Facebook Here;s a 2022 TYM...

Here's a full sized BH - $9250 Log into Facebook Here's another $15K Log into Facebook Yes, these will need some wrenching from time to time and hoses and seals but will do a lot of work and you can sell when done. Otherwise maybe rent an excavator for a month $4-5K and do the bulk of your work.

So that's ~18" will that happen over time - 3 days or in a 24 hr period? Are you at camp now or heading there for the New Year?

Agreed, and Rotella 15-40 is what I use, but Worcester may want to put in 2 gal of lower cost oil until he figures out where the excess fluid is coming from. But it;s not a huge cost delta, maybe 15$ to put in a good diesel rated oil.

See what the old oil looks like - if it thin and smells like diesel fuel, then dodge man is on the right path, and if its thin doesn't smell of diesel fuel then it may be the hyd pump seal. Also check the hydraulic oil level - it may be a sight glass or a stick not sure on that model. If's...

It takes 9.4 quarts with the oil filter. So if you just drain the oil and don't replace the filter put in at least 8.5 quarts and check the oil via dipstick before you start it and add more until it's full via dipstick. Here;s a link to another post here on TBN about Oil out of the breather...

Oil should be checked with the dipstick, and not when or wait until the oil light comes on. The oil light may be just a bad connection at the terminal/sending unit. Unless the light went out when you added the oil? So first what's the dipstick say? If full, then drain and change the oil and...

When the BH lines inside the boom sprung a leak last year and made a mess I had a older jug 2.5 gallons of Castrol super clean - put it in a spray bottle and spritzed all the hoses and fittings on the BH let it site for 20 minutes and rinsed with a hose. Made a huge difference in paint too...

Bubblehead, of the tractors listed the TYM or Massey would be on the short list, and others here have the Massey 4707 and like them a lot. If you can find a used Kubota TLB like the M59 or M62 they make a tough machine like a swiss army knife - does a lot of things well, but no standard cab if...

Additionally, what is the goal for the backhoe? You would be better served with a tractor and a 3-ton mini excavator (used) for $20-30K if you plan to trench, dig foundations, or remove stumps. Then tillage tools, plow, disc, corn planter, hay baler, etc. then where will you store all this -...

Welcome to TBN Bubblehead - there will be no shortage of input on your questions! Also list your general location and state for better awareness and responses. For instance, do you deal with snow, and will you be plowing/tilling the ground etc,and harvesting storing the feed, then hogs take...

Most definitely - we bought as much adjoining land as we could afford over the years and sold a 2.5 A lot for 5x what we paid. We are .25 mi from the ocean (no view) as the crow flies, so land is a premium here.

I'd keep the additional land separate for now as the new owner's may not have the $ today to buy and they may not "value" the land initially as they will in 1-2 years. Then other buyers - abutters etc, may come forward with a better offer in time. And land doesn't lose value, and tax burden is...

Listing with the 6AC and keeping the rest would likely get you the best return. Depends on the buyer, as many will not have an extra $300K available, and getting a loan may be more difficult. Do you have a separate deed for the acreage and the house, so you don't need to have a survey etc. to...

Yes, you do lose that option - you could pick up a used rear finish mower for $1-2K

Have you priced out the L2502 ? It's a larger frame, more capable loader and probably in the same price range.

Must say that took some creative flying to do that - cool indeed!

How unusual - how did you find that BCP?

Mossroad.- did the same thing - got my dad's 50 YO Craftsman steel top table saw ~ 250lbs - lent it to my neighbor then he moved it to his other property as it was too big to fit in my barn anymore. So I found a Skilsaw on FB Marketplace for $25 which had the table extensions I needed to rip the...

BTW I don't think you need a FB account to access FB Marketplace and winter is the time to buy vs spring when everyone wants a tractor.

I don't care to work outside when it's below 20 or above 85 deg and humid, and agree 60-70 is perfect. Was in the barn yesterday 35* restringing a recoil pull starter spring with bare hands when it decided it didnt want to be coiled up - sprung all over, started over with work gloves and got...

3Inthedirt - Yes they make a MMM for the 850 but if it has the rear finish mower there's no reason to replace that with a MMN - your going backwards!! The reason is several - the MMM requires a tractor mount, and a mower, and mid PTO - the mower is the cheap part, the tractor mounts needed for...

The JD850 are great tractors built by Yanmar, and $5K is a very fair price IMO if it runs with no issues. The lack of a loader is a big drawback, but Koyker makes a Model 155 or 160 loader that fits the 850 but probably will cost $3K or more, then installation will be more $ unless you DIY...

Ouch that's a lot of coin!

What you described is a perfect fit for a compact tractor Kubota BX or JD with 4 Wheel drive, a loader or plow and a mower. There's a lot of them for sale in your area of Ohio that have a Mower, Blade or FEL, and diesel and low hours for under $10K and some around $5-6K. Here;s a nice JD...

# 9 in this attached parts list - and there is another page for the relief valve Kubota L245DT (Dual Traction 4wd) Parts Diagrams

As Leonz said the Kubota BX are highly regarded and reliable and can be found with a loader and mower deck (if you need a mower too) for $10K range used. Then in the same size you have the Mahindra Max26 and Massey Ferguson as sub compact tractors you can find in the 10-12K range. The better...

Speaking of low prices - here is a Terror XIX for $4799 2 TON TYPHON TERROR XIX STORM – Mini Excavator with Kubota D902 Engine, Boom Swing & Canopy The company is in MS - price seems too good to be true but appears to be a legit company from what I can see on line - BBB etc.

I've have the exact same Craftsman SB for 15 years now -- it's been very reliable - just 2 belts and a drive pulley. Engine always starts on first or second pull. It's only for a few hundred feet of walks and pathways.

Your JD265 is a 50 or 54" deck? The vac system may need to be upgraded for the BX larger deck. I have a Cub 1811 with 48" deck and when I upgraded to a Ferris 52" zero turn, the Trac Vac 580 couldn't keep up with the additional volume of air and blade speed. I upgraded it with a 7" intake hose...

It depends on where you live in NH but the average 2-3K SF homes in the southern tier are $700-900K and then along the coast and waterfront rises to $1.5-5M valuation. In the north, a bit less, 500K average value. Depends on the business tax base, and population is what determines the rate...

I have the same blade but with the SSQA mount setup and its 450- 500 lbs as i recall.

Should be on the bottom left side (sitting in seat) of the transmission case. My L175DT had one there and also in loader circuit - (mine had a pump in front of the engine too for the BH) Here's a picture of your transmission case Kubota L245DT (Dual Traction 4wd) Parts Diagrams

There's another review on the XIX you may have seen with reference to the three stage Parker Pumps here Feedback

I wasn't comparing the SHY15 but the SHY 20 to the XIX. The SHY 15 has a gear pump setup - 20+8 LPM so 28 total and the XIX 2 20LPM gear pumps and a 3 LPM pilot pump so total flow rate is higher. For the $ the XIX is the best deal IMO even comparing it to the SHY 20 machine.

Nogaltractorguy - tjhey are gear pumps - but three of them instead of one, as they described the pump for the drives is separate from the boom and digning, and the pilot controls has a 3LPM pump. I looked up the gear pump specs for 10ML/R pumps at 2000 rpm they generate 20LPM (not 35) but...

Very impressive structure - we had logs milled from our property here in NH 14 years ago and I am still using the 4000 BSF of lumber (white pine and oak) for trim, flooring and building. Don't want to hijack your thread - but here's the barn with metal roof and framed with rough 2x6, then a post...

I did hear from machinery asia specs on the three pump system whereas most of the machines have a single gear pump with a port to feed the pilot controls. So this is a definite step up in flow and volume, but not a vaiable piston pump like the SHY series have from Huayee. That seems to be one of...

TConnolly - very nice tractor, and your barn really caught my attention! Very impressed with the post and beam and finish work! Do you have any more pics you can share of the outside too? is that a pine frame with T&G pine in between and did you have that milled or from your property?

DF - Good point, and I did ask the Typhoon rep the same question and details on the Hyd system. All I got was its a three pump system with load sensing valves, and a separate piston pump for the drives. I asked about the rabbit switch on the console, and also the total flow rate of the pumps...

Buy once, cry once, and many other sayings like this say get what you want the first time and enjoy it. I bought the Ferris zero turn 15 years ago, yes it was $$ but its still running great and I still enjoy cutting the grass every year. The mini for me was a want more than a need, as I have a...

I understand jumping to $20K from $12 for the Tyrant 17 is a big one, but the Tyrant to the XIX is less than $2K with a lot more features you can't add to a machine - 2 speed drives, enclosed drive motors, much better hydraulics, which are things I wish I had now. Especially moving to the work...

Jrs- agree I spent $13k overall 11$k for my terror xviii then add ons buckets augers etc- if the shy20 was around then would have been my choice too - 6$k is soon forgotten once you’re running a more commercial machine with proper variable piston pumps etc

Very nice !! Great color combo

The Tyrant 17 looks very close to the Huayee the 18B gets very good ratings too and you can get them from CA or NJ warehouse, or on ebay too. The Tyrant has all the attachments which is about $2K at list but Typhoon will negotiate a deal for these (around $200 each for the buckets and $400 for...

Nice and clean installation! When I saw all the staples 30 per section, thats a lot of work! Is there a spec like a staple or fastener every 4" ? Then are you doing a fiberglass batt insulation?

Thanks for the pics GRS - I've got a 5x8" 300 W on order - due before Christmas for the oil pan - once I see how that works may buy another for the transmission once I see how this one works out.

Thanks GRS - I found and ordered this silicone adhesive heater today. 300 W and will use with my Kasa smart plug wifi. My oil pan is irregular so this should work well...

GRS - do you have a link to those silicone thermal matts and how you attach them? I have a magnetic heater and WIFI timer but it doesn't do much - looking for alternatives. Thanks in advance!

You need two of the female fittings.

It's the 709 backhoe and used is your best option - here's a link to several BH 709 options for your 763. $4-5K not too $$ but if you need to use your SS you may want to look into a Mini Excavator. https://www.ebay.com/b/Bobcat-Backhoe-Attachments/66926/bn_2803890

Nice Dump Trailer - my neighbor bought one this spring and we share tools etc. its great for dirt, mulch, dump runs etc. Especially since delivery charges for 3-5 miles are 50$ for a small load/job.

Bought a 3T Hypertough floor jack from Walmart for $98 as my 25 YO jack was getting tired and slow needed some TLC - seals etc. https://www.walmart.com/ip/3-TON-GARAGE-JACK/12016001628?sid=b251a7ee-d24c-4347-a866-9c2f7065cdd4

This is the typical New England boulder and Cat 315 2x the size of the OP machine but was a struggle. 5'H x 6'Wx 10' L a bigin..

If you are still unsure, just unscrew the fitting on the tractor and go to; Hydraulic shop, Tractor Supply, Tractor dealer etc, and you can get two female fittings to match - simple.

Fuddy has a friend / dealer where he can get a new unit at cost, still a sizable investment either way as others have pointed out where a KX040 or 57 may get the job done too. Just depends on the deal Fuddy can make.

Just order two female and swap the one male you have to the grapple. As stated before with a male and female on the implement just connect them together, also it keeps the controls the same.

These are Pioneer style - with a detent pin. The other choice are the flat skid steer style. Also I like to use a male and female on the machine and the implement so you can plug the ends together wihen not connected.

Mike - just wondering why you need to replace all the BH cylinder seals? Unless they all leaking? Your machine is about15 years old, so unless the seals are leaking, why not leave them alone! I have done 2 FEL cylinders, and 1 stabilizer cylinder on my B21 in 24 years, and have a slow leak...

Congrats on the new machine Coffeyman76! Glad you like it and they have stepped up the quality of these units with little things in the last year. Then Typhoon is the reseller - mine was a hightop, yours may be a Vote? Was checking out the other Typhoon offerings recently and the new Terror...

Oaktree - I95 Hampton tolls are electronic now too - they still have a booth I think but as you point out all the others are cashless and no booths anymore. I like EZ Pass and it works well, but it's the rental car companies that irk me when they charge an admin fee of $5-8 a day, plus tolls -...

Fuddy - Door #4 would be my choice a new Kubota mini at cost and get one with at least 10' reach or digging depth (U35 KX33 or KX40 8-10K machines) You can run it for 2-3 years and sell it for what you paid. Yes, its going to cost 2X the Typhoon probably but a lot more machine. The Typhoon...

It seems since the OP started this thread that one of the Rippa dealers in GA - Robert Lee Ray has gone away from Rippa and over to Huayee as the primary North American distributor. Not sure of the reason, but while Rippa had a good reputation, it seems the quality has slipped a bit. The...

I did the same thing as Eddie when clearing land here, but only a small area 50x80' low area that water would pool after heavy rain. I filled in with dirt, rocks, roots much like you have about a foot thick then had a few loads of sandy fill dirt spread on top of that then loam and grass...

The loader and blower hydraulic connections are all on the right side of the tractor so could it be a fitting didn't couple tightly or a loose connection? But then you would expect a leak when operating... will be interested to hear what the diagnosis is - hopefully its something simple.

I don't like or eat tripe, or fried oysters anymore (with bellies) as I had a bad oyster one time - was like eating raw sewage.

Nice, new, shiny JD there - your bucket cutting-edge bolts look a bit on the long side tho.

I agree on the BioMass Energy plants - there are several in New England. When we had 4 acres cleared they chipped everything except the logs and sold the rest to Shiller Station in Newington NH for 30$ ton - took 6 tractor trailer loads of chips. Shiller stopped taking wood waste in 2024, but...

Not to interfere with the current (or lack thereof :-) ) diagnostic events, why did you need to replace the battery in the first place?

Good Neighbors are invaluable, glad they came to visit with their 2 YO - sounds like a nice family you are fortunate.

I don't know exactly, and unless its causing issues I would not mess with that, I know there are guys that turn them up for more HP. All I was getting at with the ticking is its normal to get "injector knock" and ATF or additives quiet it down.
