Using implements from diffrent tractors?

[samofsweden]

Hi. I have a BX24, just done 100hours since november-07. A friend called me and asked me to help him with the hay. Heｴs runnig a small bale machinery which would fit my BX. So far no problem...I realised that I need adjust/fit some other hydralic valves where backhoe runs, that wouldnt be to big problem. But what I didnt like was the idea to use "normal" implements which uses standard hydralic oils, or at least they have some hydralic oil left inside the implement which my BX will get. Kubota is using fully syntetic hydro oil (SUDT) and normal farm implements are using standard hydro oil. How bad is it to mix these diffrent oils? Do I need to drain the implements Im loaning?
Thanks,
/Sam

Sam,
SUDT is not synthetic, it is a multi viscosity, UDT. It is just priced like a full synthetic. Lots of people have thought that is what the S stands for
A BX24 dose not have a large capacity hydro reservoir so contamination is easier than with a larger tractor
I am curious, what kind of bailer is small enough to operate on a BX? KennyV

That baler is going to shake that BX all over the place! After watching a friend using a squalre baler on behind his L5030...I wont even hook it up to my B3030....not enough MA$$ to offset the shaking

Boy this was my question to. Wow!

Hi guys!
Its a minibale machine, the bales are made for horse people when they are on competitions, then they can carry a few bales with them in their trailers. But I havnt tryed yet...so you guys might be right Its late over here, I will post some pics tomorrow of the bale machine.
Thanks for your input!

Now, if someone would adapt all the implements that go on a BCS two wheeled tractor for use on the BX series we would have some useable stuff! They have a baler.......... and I'll bet even I could lift the bales.

Sounds like you having same way of thinking You can carry these bales up...depends how much water there is in the grass. I cant find any pics on the bale machine

 

[ChuckinNH]

I know what size bales you are talking about, and that baler is too big to run on a BX for sure! Careful with wet bales too. They will really heat up when piled, and can burn a barn down very quickly!

I think he is talking about something like this...................

They are little bitty bugers.

Hi Just found a pics from the small bale machine, it needs 11-15 hp 80cm wide. The bales have a diameter at 57cm and lenght 63cm
I think its made in Italy.

that is cool ... how much $$$$$?

 

[rdsaustintx]

I don't have a clue, but that must be one HECKUVA friend to try this with your BX.

At least it is the correct color....

Most of those little balers are super high in price. I've seen them asking $10-$15k for them new which is crazy as you can buy a brand new Vermeer 5410 rebel 4'X5' round baler for $14,000. Looks like it would be a big pain in the neck to me, having to work with stuff that small, but I guess if it is all you had to work with, more power to ya.

The Star equipment is expensive, but it's good stuff. I did a demo of the mid-size round baler and the B size Kubotas are plenty to run them. Wouldn't want to get into hilly ground with them, but size to power, they're fine for small tractors. Take a look at some of the pics on this site.

That's cute as a dickens!! Size is only a rough 24x24 bale. Should have any problems with that baler.

 

[mowpower]

That is a cute, baler! Why noy just take a regular bale and split into thirds, tie with some twine and be on your way. I know that's not the point of the post but seems silly to have a special unit for tiny bales. I guess though must be a market for it somewhere.

I'd like to have one of these, no stopping every few feet to tie and dump the bale, but they're high dollar too.

Hi. So what to do when using implements from other tractors not using the same oil as my BX24?

Isn't that what they use to make Shredded Wheat?

Sam,
Now your asking too much That you might actually get answers to your original question Just kidding.
The BX has a rather smallish hydraulic capacity so it will not take much unknown fluid to change it. I think it would be of some benefit to actually know what fluid the other attachment might have in it. If it is a quality UDT don稚 worry about it. If it is unknown you can open one line and use your system to push out fluid from one side then reverse the hook up and push out the other. This will flush out MOST of the fluid. But as I said earlier SUDT is not synthetic so you don稚 have to be concerned with mixing a good UDT with it and even if it were a concern, a change of fluids will take care of any contamination that might take place with multiple equipment changes KennyV
