I manage a fleet for the local water utility just outside of DC. We are responsible for maintaining our own easements and right-of-ways. Currently, the group responsible is using a 2013 B3200HSD with a 4ft bush hog and a John Deere 325G with a diamond brush cutter pro x to maintain them. The...

Do you have a battery backup wired in for when the power goes out during monsoon season?

Our GE dishwasher randomly quit back in June, did some troubleshooting that suggested the controll board under the unit was bad and google confirmed it was a common problem. $98 later and 30 minutes we were back in business. Did not want to mess with finding and installing a new one with a...

How do you like that kinetic splitter?

Like TheOldHokie said, it's easier to tap the PB pipe on the loader valve. I had already installed fittings when I did my 3rd function install. All I had to do was move one hose from returning into the PB loop after the 3rd function and use it to feed the remotes, then one new hose from the...

That's certainly a possibility!! A buddy of mine pulled some cylinders off a Bobcat-branded skid steer attachment and had good luck with reliability and sourcing parts easily.

Thats a bummer, makes one think twice about buying something sans cylinders and just sourcing your own from like surplus center.

I will always take extra breaks and drink more water to stay protected from ivy versus wearing shorts and no sleeves, because it's "too hot." Sounds like an excuse for being perpetually dehydrated. I live in VA, Humidity is a killer around here, just something you learn to deal with and work...

Thank you very much!! I didn't even think about the difference for those with a backhoe. I took the box and bar off mine across the back when I did my hydraulic top link as it was just in the way and annoying.

How do you have your ammo can mounted? I have the same tractor and looking to do similar.

I love this thread and have been following along with Hahnsolo on his journey with the B2650, as I have the same tractor. I'd kind of like to one day do the same for the additional PTO power. The size of the tractor is great for me, but some additional umph for the PTO could be a welcome addition.

When I finally realized mine was leaking was when I was in the basement and kept hearing the contactor for the well pump kick on. Watch the tank, then like clockwork, it would drain and refill. I checked everything I could in the house; it was late and had been raining, so I figured I'd look...

Many companies make EV utility vehicles now. Cushman, Max-EV, and GreenWorks are popular ones I see in the fleet spaces I'm in. There's a GreenWorks dealer by my house that is part of the Massey dealer, they bring em out to the County Fair. If they met my needs, I would consider GreenWorks...

My yard hydrant line sprang a leak back in March, it's just 1" Polly well line. It was put in by the previous owner; I had no idea where it ran. Thankfully, there was a curb stop inline to cut off the hydrant, so I had an idea how deep, and guessed a relatively straight line from A to B for...

Good point Paul! OP, what elevation are you at if you're working hills and or doing snow work, more power, or adding a turbo to the smaller L might be a good choice.
