I did a lot of looking around and ended up getting a Tomahawk grapple. I'm using it on a L4701, and its a 72" with two grapple "claws." They don't sell through distributors, but you can get them directly from the manufacturer and sometimes through equipment auctions. The price was good and I...

Thank you all for sharing your ideas and pictures! I've been thinking about a new toolbox project; now I have some great ideas for plans.

It depends on the tractor, but on most of our Kubotas, as far as I know, that is how they will operate. The power to your hydraulics goes from your pump, to the rear remotes, then to the loader circuits, and then the 3 Pt hitch. So if you’re using your remotes, there is less flow to everything...

The hydraulic controls for a TNT require 2 double acting valve bodies for your rear remotes. The hydraulic connections for a backhoe are different. I have the rear remotes on mine, but not the connections for a BH. A BH probably requires greater flow than you'll get from the rear remote...

Thanks Sheepfarmer, that's the direction I was leaning to begin with, but I hate spending more money for something if I can get something just as good or better for less money. At least these filters aren't too terribly expensive.

Hello all, I'm trying to avoid starting a new thread, but haven't seen my question posted previously. I thought this might be a good place to start. I hit 50 hours not too long ago, but was in the middle of a project and had to finish, so I'm a couple of hours past 50. I'm wondering if anyone...

Follow up: I forgot to post about it when it occurred, but I had my second regen at exactly 52.0 hours. It was done in about 10 minutes and I just kept going, but did bump up the RPM when the light came on. I have been doing most of my work around 2K RPM, and a couple of hours at PTO speed. The...

What Wolfman said... Visibility is key, especially since it’s already harder to see with forks on a FEL than on a forklift. The extra weight will also decrease your total lift capacity, and remember that the FEL is not a forklift and won’t be able to do the same work. The forks on my L4701...

Excellent question! I’m considering something very similar (as a future project) and was wondering if I’d be pushing the limits of my loader. I’m just a step up, with an L4701 and the larger loader, but I don’t want to create undue stress on it. Any input and suggestions are welcome. Sent...

2 dogs and 2 cats... This one isn’t a typical cat, and at 22ish lbs, is a big goofy fur ball sometimes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You gotta share pics! How difficult was the installation? Agree with Skeets, glad you're pleased with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't had much seat time lately, but I did experience my first regen cycle. It was at 32.0 hours and took less than 10 minutes to complete. I let it run while I was doing some loader work, running at PTO speed, and I didn't notice any adverse effect on power. So far, so good! Sent from my...

Thanks! I like to have flexibility. The grab hooks are really only good for chains, but the slip hook in the center allows me to use webbing like a tow strap, or I can easily slip a loop of steel cable over it. It's also handy if I need to let chain slip through to find its own center or level...

I finally got around to welding some hooks onto my bucket. 5/16" grab hooks on the outsides and a slip hook in the center. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

http://ratchetrake.com/ You may be able to find them at a local retailer as well and avoid paying for shipping. I got mine at a local Tractor Supply Co for the same price as online, but no shipping of course. Mine has been very handy for removing small trees, clearing brush, prepping garden...
