First Daedong manufactures the Kioti tractors, the Bobcat ones are produced on the same line, but with there own FEL. Kubota still supplies the Bobcat engines (my company just ordered 100 T180's, 100 T650's, 100 T750's, 200 E32's, 100 E42's,E55's and E80's ) all with Kubota engines. Doosan owns...

pretty nice, I like how you can set the fork narrow or wide, or if you had 4 forks you basicaly got a brush grapple. If you don't mind where did you get it and how much was it?

There is a relief valve setting on the valve block, but to set it, you need to know your pressures, using gauges and in some case need to set multiple pressures to work in conjunction with the one you are trying to "fix". This is an old school way of not overpowering the thumb and bending the...

Diesel injection service of Martin County FL. I have used these guys for 20 years for everything from small HATZ diesels to large container ship engines. I have used them when I lived close by, and have shipped them items living up here. They have a full testing cell, unlike some other"rebuid...

I am not sure bit I think the PS has a pressure relief and is it possible that the PS fluid was not warmed up enough yet to allow better operation? On my side of town equipment hyd steering and brake or any thing for that matter gets really slow in less than 30*f weather and takes (on some...

The only circuit that would hold pressure on the valve would be a locking circuit that locks the function(i.e a trigger on the handle to lock the button, or switch for use with an auger/breaker/mixer etc) on a skid steer. Your setup is probably similar to mine in which you have two momentary...

try a scrapyard, or go to a tractor repair shop, they may have something, but much like your situation, the used one laying around are shot as well. Radiators are priced by overall size and the layers or cores they have, a newer small car my only have at most a 2 core radiator, a Diesel may have...

he said it was a aquaponics pond, he will grow plants in nothing but water. Very cool pics. Nice work :D

I work in the construction equipment industry, and many times I have seen low hour unit look almost new, sometimes even almost brand new. We have had units painted by shops, replaced seats and freshened up the units prior to sale to command a better price. Most of what dictates that is if the...

Does your owners manual have the amperage listed, or perhaps the tag info on the alternator itself? I would guess on the size tractor it is somewhere between 35-40 amps, should be fine, my tractor has a alt with a 45amp output, with all the lights and aux lights on (I added 2 55watt halogen work...

I have the MX4700 with the same seat, and although not the best seat I have no complaints, I have a bad lower back (which sometimes requires trips to the E.R and morphin injections). I have been in the seat for hours on end, through very rough wood (stumps logs and all ) with any discomfort. But...

You got that right, wow that little beast was definitely put through the ringer a few times over. Well you certainly have your work cut out for you, stripping and reassembling a gear case with hydro drive, there are a lot of things that can go wrong, I would look into a sound used case...

I was in your exact shoes back in June, after months of going back and forth, looking at these three units all the options and including some Kiotis,New hollands, Maseys, etc I chose the 4700, the dollar per work value was just right, the 4400 was a landowner tractor, good strong, nice little...

The engine that is in your tractor (2403 series engine) in just about the same engine Bobcat uses in their skid steers. Those units get started and shut down without abandon all day everyday for years on end no cool down or anything of the sort. The rental company I work for has over 3,000 of...

Why replace the wires willy nilly if you are not sure they are the problem? Test them with a multimeter or a simple test light when hooked up will tell you where you have and/or don't have power. A test light will cost you less than ten bucks, a cheap multimeter can be found for less than 15...
