    Widening lower lift pins for mower?

    I have a 5' LandPride mower (pic attached), and the lower lift pins are the narrower 30" spacing. All of my other implements are the wider 36" spacing (box blade, plows, etc). I'd love to use a 36" quick-attach on the tractor to make life easier, but this one implement (mower) is the issue...

    Hi all, the Zetor we have has two positions on the PTO (not counting Neutral). One position is - Ground speed of PTO shaft (through gearbox) - PTO shaft speed depends upon the engaged gear speed The other position is - Independent speed of PTO shaft - PTO shaft speed depends upon the engine...

    New Belltec H-200 hydraulic auger and rock bit attached to the front loader bucket !

    Finally got the our new Belltec H-200 hydraulic auger with at 9" RAD (rock and dirt) auger bit set up for our tractor. Uses the optional bracket attached to the loader bucket, and I added a couple of 20' hoses to connect to an open set of remotes on the rear. Turns about 60 RPM and just chews...

    Fun weekend project: old Case plow

    More grease, WD-40 and just about any other rust breaking lubricant I can find, and I hope to get her working again. Mostly all works, with the exception of the "flip over" gear that raises and lowers it. May have to pull the main wheel to get it unfrozen. It's an old Case. Not sure of the...

    Zetor "Quick-Attach" items for the Front End Loader

    Hi all, I have Zetor FEL on our Zetor 6441 tractor, and the loader front has the "quick-attach" setup for the bucket, etc. Aside from the Zetor-specific quick attach items (other than the bucket) like the pallet forks and hay spear, has anyone seen any kind of adapter to use something...

    Connecting hydraulic auger to rear remote connections...which one?

    Hi all, just picked up a hydraulic auger that will be bucket-mounted on our front end loader. We'll be running it from the set of remotes we have on the back of the tractor. My question is: Each remote "set" has three connections, labeled 0, 1 and 2. The owner's manual says: "Basic type...

    Top link on 3pt question for Zetor 6441

    Hi all, The Zetor Proxima 6441 we bought didn't have a top link bar when we got it. Since the 3pt is Cat2, I assumed any "off the shelf" Cat2 top link bar would work, and I picked one up at Tractor Supply. However the channel that the top link connects to on the tractor is slightly too...

    Hydraulic Augers and Rock Bits - Danuser vs Belltec vs ??

    Hi all, now that we've rolled the "new-to-us" Zetor 6441 up to the ranch, I'm ready to pull the trigger on a hydraulic auger system to attach to the loader bucket. I've been looking primarily at the Belltec NC series and the Danuser 8900 series. We're running 14GPM on the tractor hydraulics...

    Zetor 6441 Proxima control identification question

    I found an Operator's Manual online for the 6421 / 6441 / 7421 / 7441 / 8421 / 8441. It's a great manual, however there are some small discrepancies on a few controls. I know the vast majority of the controls, but have a few questions for those in the know. The first one is the 4WD...

    New Zetor 6441 Proxima owner

    After combing through the enormous number of 50-100hp pre-owned tractors here in Texas, I ran across a handful of Zetors and got interested. Was pleasantly surprised at their value for the money. But this was a sweetheart deal. I was about to pull the trigger on 2001 4341 4WD with loader for...

    New Zetor 6441 Proxima owner

    After combing through the enormous stock of pre-owned 50-100 hp tractors in Texas, I ran across a handful of Zetors and was pleasantly surprised at their power, options, durability, etc for the money compared to JDs, Kubotas, etc. Was about to pull the trigger on 2001 model 4341 with 4WD, when...

    Seperate hydraulic piston on one rear 3 point lift arm?

    Forgive the ignorance, but this tractor (JD 5205) I'm looking at has a hydraulic piston on one (the right hand) 3 point lift arm. Good? Bad? Otherwise? Haven't seen this configuration before, and not sure of the pros / cons of this. Thanks in advance. TX

    Adding additional remotes to a John Deere 5210

    First many thanks to JJ and others for the great help on my JD 2440 hydraulic question. Unfortunately, the tractor sold before I could make an offer. Now, I'm looking at a John Deere 5210 4WD with a JD 541 loader. My question has to do with adding remotes. The tractor has two existing rear...

    John Deere 2440 hydraulics

    I'm looking at a John Deere 2440 with a factory JD 146 loader. It has one extra set of rear remotes. My concern is the hydraulic pump flow, which is rated at 6 GPM. That seems low, but looking for feedback. The primary additional hydraulic attachment I want to add is a hydraulic auger...

    Branson rear remotes?

    Looking at used Branson 4220. We seem to have a decent number of dealers in the central TX area. General question: what are the options for adding / expanding remotes? I think the one I'm looking at has one rear set, but I may need more. Thanks in advance! TX

    Hydraulic Post Hole Digger - options? Prices?

    Hi all, after fighting for years with traditional PHDs, I've decided to upgrade to a hydraulic PHD that mounts to my loader bucket. It's a 50+hp Kubota with 2 open (available) remotes. I've seen a lot of brands, but don't have a feel for the good and bad, low-end and high-end models. I've...

    Name that plow....

    I've got an old plow at the ranch, can't identify the make or model. My grandfather always just called it the "chisel" plow, because it was what we used first of the plowing season before disking. I've pulled it around a few times, and can raise and lower the right side with the big lever...
