    Easier way of pulling down ROPS for storage

    I only have about 50 hours experience. I used to have to tap my pins in and out with a little ball-peen. It is finally loosening up where I can get it in and out by hand.

    Fiddle farting around on the farm.

    Those could be collectables. You might have found something good.

    Is there anything that pisses me off more???

    Nothing I hate more than having that spring loaded ring on the clevis pin snap and hit my fingers. I swear, it is worse than hitting your thumb with a hammer. Mine are numb so that doesn't hurt anymore. LOL But having that ring snap my finger on a cold morning takes 60 years of Church...

    48 in Dirt Dog Box grader Cat 1/3

    I'm up here in Tiger, GA. Went to pick up the BBX but they had the hitch all wrong. It was advertised as Cat 1 but had Cat 0 pins. Waiting for Dirt-Dog to get the lift-arm correct and I'll pick it up. Thanks for your quick answer.

    Impressed with the BX capabilities!

    You sound like you just want recognition for a "big' tractor. I have 18 acres and I use a BX-2680. My only complaint is my steep grades and larger wheels would probably be safer. I have hit too many underground stumps that are rotting away and to have a wheel on the low side sink in can make...

    48 in Dirt Dog Box grader Cat 1/3

    I have been looking for a small box grader for 18 months. During Covid, the lag was nearly that long. I found a small one at a local tractor shop. I did what little research I could and found that the manufacturer is only 40 miles away. I like that. The one pictured sells for close to $1000...

    A Quick Grapple Question

    It should. I know EA puts their actuators outside the SSQA clamps. When I bought mine for the BX, I originally asked for the 48" grapple, and they called and explained that the smallest for the SSQA is 55" because of how they mount the actuators. I bought a grapple from them for my BX. I liked...

    Leaf raking tools

    I'm looking for the same answers as the OP. I have a bx-2680 with a 55" grapple, bucket, stump bucket, sod buster plow, 60" center mower. I still have loads of leaves (a couple of acres worth) left over from last fall. We had raked them into a series of piles. Many of the piles are on a...

    Kubota Generators.

    I own an 18-acre hill. It is surrounded by ravines except for my steep driveway, with a solar power gate/security camera. I love the seclusion, which is why we are here. The nearest town is 12 miles and has < 5000 people. This is the northeast Ga. mountains. The reason I'm saying this is...

    Impressed with the BX capabilities!

    I love my BX. My first tractor. My property has some pretty serious grades and there has been times where I would like to have had the large wheels of a compact or bigger. My problem are sink holes from rotten stumps. When I see a wheel on my high side off the ground, my heart skips a beat.

    80 foot trench for propane line

    Last summer I had the entire 1700 Ft. drive paved ($$$). We have an island in front of the house and once of those plastic fish ponds with a little waterfall. The problem is that we had not power to the island and the solar just wasn't cutting it. When the road pavers came, I already had laid...

    Automating SSQA

    I like the idea and it is my kind of project. Then I got to thinking that there has been more than one time that the pins were not going through the slats, and I didn't notice. And is with me standing right over the dang thing! LOL I flipped my bucket and realized it was just hanging from the...

    homemade wood splitter idea. could it work?

    Besides what is said above, I truly like having my tractor available to me while splitting. I feed my splitter from the front loader. I load it an drive right up to the splitter so I can roll them onto it. I let the split wood fall into the Brinley and when I'm done splitting, I just back...

    Wood Splitter: Self-contained vs Tractor Powered?

    You are pushing that 27 ton ram to its limit from the looks of it. That is what I have to do this weekend. Cold weather coming and I'll need about two cords to get through winter.

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    I think Norms are changing. I bought a cellular game camera, fully loaded with external battery, solar panel, etc. Came to about $1000. That order hit my bank before I cleared the order page. It didn't ship for a month.

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    They are not that far from me but I haven't been up there yet. Probably will visit them in the next month or two. I know they are small so it may be a cash flow thing. All and all, they are an excellent company.

    Wood Splitter: Self-contained vs Tractor Powered?

    We had the same discussion when getting our splitter. I went with a used stand-alone. I am glad I did since I use the bucket to kind of feed the splitter. I load it with cut logs and level the bucket to the splitter. Then I roll them out of the bucket right onto the rail. After they are...

    EverythingMoneyAttachments. All the money up front?

    I just ordered my Wicked Grapple last week. They called and verified the hydraulic fitting sizes and we went over the specs again. He said it would be three months. I got the impression that they were making them to order. EA has an excellent reputation and I don't mind paying up front.
