Don’t forget to check your hydraulic oil level after you get the air worked out of the hoses. Most likely you will need to add some.

Is the nut loose on the end of the axle? If so, then there may be more worn than 2 discs. I have a lot of experience replacing bearings and discs on disc harrows. We had a 21’ folding Sunflower disc harrow that covered 1800 acres a year. Bearings lasted 3-4 years and discs around 5-6 years. We...

Go to a dealer and sit on the various models and drive them if you can. See which one feels more comfortable. You can always add a backhoe later if you change your mind.

But Dan, you are forgetting that while the parts page shows it hooked up this way, that doesn’t mean that the person who installed it hooked it up this way. They could have very hooked up the feed lines in the back side of the outlets in a vertical orientation, NOT a horizontal orientation.

Makes you wonder what kind of quality of work friend and crew actually does? If they treat the equipment like that then most likely they treat their work with the same kind of respect and do crappy work.

Are they 1 piece rims or 2 piece rims? If 2 piece, make sure that the bolts holding the 2 pieces together are tight too along with the lug nuts.

Very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family in this difficult time.

Pictures please. Growing up on a farm, we had a Case 930, 1030 and 580ck. The 580 was the 580 backhoe but setup as a farm tractor with 3 point hitch, PTO and hydraulic remotes with no loader or backhoe. That was one tough little tractor.

Time to find a new dealer if they can’t get you the correct replacement hydraulic coupler. This should be the correct one. You can get them from other aftermarket suppliers too. https://www.messicks.com/parts/kubota/7j417-66220

I take it that you don’t have rocks? The ones you show a picture of don’t like rocks because they get caught in the open spots between the bars on the roller. Some baskets are more closed and work better. We tried using them on our corn fields and quickly got rid of them because getting out with...

I will give you my opinion, buy what you want, that will accomplish what YOU want to do and not what internet strangers tell you that you need to buy based upon their personal preferences. If you have uses that a backhoe will be useful, then buy one.

Sorry to hear that you had storm damage. Last thing anyone needs to have happen.

I can’t read the numbers cast into it. Have you looked for any logos cast into any of the pieces? Can you post pictures of some of the casting numbers? Maybe 2-3 different ones.

Thank you

Thoughts and prayers for the both of you. Sometimes, life throws you curveballs that you just can’t comprehend why they are happening. Be strong and keep up the faith.
