    Z930R - Zero Turn Purchase - Comments and Rules of Thumb?

    I just purchased a Z930R for my property. I don't have much in the ways of heavy grass/hills so this should be sufficient. Any gotchas on driving/handling/management that you can share or point me to? Thanks!

    Any smaller DIY mechanical thumb plans available?

    Just wondering if there are any diy mechanical thumb plans available for my 354 chinick tractor with a lw8 backhoe? I’ve found some kits on Ann but they are a weld together type so I thought I might as well just fab one up myself if possible, scrap metal being available locally.

    BH92 mechanical thumb

    Hello, I'm trying to add a sectional valve to my old Kubota excavator to run a hydraulic thumb off of it. It being so old, all the valve controls are mechanical, and I would like to have an electronic control on one of the sticks for the thumb. I imagine a solenoid actuated valve would make a...

    Case CX31b Hydraulic thumb

    I built a mechanical thumb for my machine but would like to convert it to hydraulic. The Case has "nibbler-breaker" hydraulic lines. I had a hydraulic cylinder I hooked up to test it and it does not retract I believe it is not a gravity return like on a snow plow since it has a return line but...
