Go long for the 33". You'll need that stroke, Also go big on diameter. Consider a locking block model. Great for transporting as the weight flexing pulls on the link considerably.

That and if I hire out amongst other things. I'd have to pull the policy, but there wasn't much difference. Turned out to be ~$240 less per year.

I'd add the larger diameter the better. Also recommend a locking block model. Why? If you have a brush hog lifted for transport down the road, it will gradually work its way down due to the momentum generated when you hit bumps. That's a lot of torque that translates to pull on the cylinder.

You don't have to go with KTAC. I got about 1/3rd less price and a bit better coverage (fewer but fors) with Travelers. Kubota finance just wants the unit insured.

Look closer. The center pin isn't the issue. Check out...

Actually I was thinking of reducing head loss with the bungee cord solution. One less valve that way. Line loss will be about the same.

I see now. Probably the cheapest way would be to add a third line to the manifold under your seat. It has an inlet/outlet for it. You'll get the maximum flow available.

You'll just use one remote. Given the location of the lever, it'll be a two person operation. I recommend a splitter that operates either vertical or horizontal. The cross profile wedge that gives you four pieces of wood will speed things up. Your hydraulic specs show no problem going with a...

If the diverter switch is left on, the solenoid will eventually burn out. The switch should be off unless in use.

I offloaded a JD1025R with a bunch of implements and upgraded to a Grand L 5460. If you think you'll pick up 1 ton pallets, this one or the 6060 will do it. The LA1055 loader can do it if you pivot the load back. One thing for sure, the extra power means you can get into trouble sooner so you...

Excellent point. I did the reverse as my attachments already had the larger bottom pin bushings on them. Got the older QH model and haven't looked back. BTW, I had to go with some bushings on the bottom as the 3-pt is Cat 2 on the bottom, Cat 1 on top. My hydraulic top link has a Cat1/2...

To run my PTO when not seated, I had to pivot the seat up as there was a bypass switch. When I went to an air ride seat that doesn't pivot, we installed a bypass toggle switch in one of the vacant slots. Since nobody makes one that says "PTO Bypass", a red brake drum switch works fine. My use...

I got all the Class 3 paperwork in for a suppressor. All titanium, multi caliber, easy to disassemble, drop into the ultrasonic to clean. My 223 can is great but I'm upping my game to 22-458. Made locally in my rural town so it's nice to support the community. BTW my 22 can is a Gemtech...

Pape' abandoned Bonners Ferry a number of years ago. They do it by not replacing sales staff and then deciding to close because they have no sales. That's why I'm Orange now. Do have a Gator 865R.
