I turned if off after 19 sec. when he said "a very new product"... meaning he doesn't use it - he's just getting paid to speak...

You don't list your tractor model in your profile.... hard to tell. Also, not sure where you live so I don't know if you might have mud daubers or solitary bees that can plug up the vent... My older standard "L" the vent is under the seat. Rubber curly "Q".

Not that this is a pissing contest... When we first bought our property, about a 3 hour drive, we would have our neighbors come up when ever they wanted to. I would say the majority of the times when they rolled in, I would be talking to the husband on the driver side, and the nice looking...

I've used it a couple of times.... after a while one tire kept loosing air and I brought it to the tire guy, he was busy so I took the time to clean the rim for him (he really appreciated it...) and since I put the slime in there, I felt obligated to do the dirty work.... Another tire, front...

I never said that it NEEDED a charge... I said it usually shows that it has 12.5 volts on the meter... I just think of it as topping off the battery. Whatever... I'm just happy that in 20 years, I'm still using the original battery from 2005!!!! :love:🥰

So if you plan to buy a valve, you have an open center hydraulic system with power beyond (usually a plug that you might have to purchase separately). I personally like to get the GPM (gallons per minute) close to the tractor's rated GPM (6.3 gpm). Larger GPM are usually cheaper. If you want...

Whatever... I got a 20 yo battery and I'm not planning to change what I do since it's working for me. It might not work on a car or truck but on my Kubota, it's the golden ticket (at least in my mind....) Edit - So if I just plug the charger up to just the battery and not start the tractor...

Old post but here's an update SidecarFlip / 5030 (TBN); https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/anything-happen-to-epic-contributor-5030.624758/#post-7310630

I do... usually during the tractor warming up at idle (1100 rpms) until the charger says "Full"

I can disconnect my grapple and use the same hose to connect to something in the rear. I don't have it where the hoses are connected to the loader, they are just draped over the front tube.

I don't use my tractor much, 50/hours per year. It's stored in a unheated shed for 20 years. I don't have a tender on it. I just put a Black and Decker charger on it before I crank it up... it always showed 12.5 volts but usually crank it up on 6 amps and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. The...

Can you precisely feather your grapple close and open with your 3rd function? - If you can (since you need to do that for a toplink), just buy a 1/4" hydraulic hose to run it to the rear.

That's the biggest B2601 (listed in your profile) that I've ever seen!!! :p:ROFLMAO::LOL:

I have 4 piles that I add to, what's surprising is how fast it rots away... In the pass we have burned a ton in the fire pit, mulched a ton with the chipper (lots of work), even did the hugelkulter route (which rotted the fastest) but the easiest and quickest for us is piling it up in the woods...

What air pressure are you running vs. what the tire pressure is listed on the side wall? Less pressure the bigger the foot print...
