You should hear Foxtrot talk about him. Not pretty!

Thread lesson for new tractor owners: Don't buy a tractor with a pinned bucket ie. without SSQA (or JD's equivalent).

According to Arfcom's SME on oil, Shell Rotella is crap for what you pay for. Much better oils. He probably mentions it in this thread somewhere: Foxtrot08 makes an oil thread! - AR15.COM Foxtrot08 is the SME. He runs a large oil distributor.

For all the wood he used he could have got a grapple and saved a ton of time and probably money.

I built one for my tractor probably 10 or more years ago. Never used it. It was far easier to just add a receiver hitch to my box blade: If you want mine, come get it! I65 near the AL/TN border.

This is entirely avoidable. I've been bucking logs like this since I bought my grapple over 7 years ago and have never touched the grapple with the chainsaw (knock on wood). Once you'd down to 5-6 feet of log, it's easy to manipulate the log so only a foot or so is grabbed by the grapple...

At 69, I'm right there with you. With my tractor and grapple, I've cut up whole trees and hardly ever actually touch the tree. the first time I might actually have to touch the tree is to maybe put some brush into the grapple vs picking it up with the grapple. The first time I usually have to...

Following. I need one for my Sidekick.

Where did you get the plugs? If not Messicks/Kubota, part numbers? Thanks!

He's not wrong wrong: Pics = thousand words and all that.

Why not just use the grapple?

On the contrary, it's an excellent idea. I used to despise hooking up my grapple because of how hard it was to hook the FF connectors. Now, it's a piece of cake with the Irwin clamps. You are not going to hurt a +2500 psi hydraulic system with hand strength. Get it done.

I went back and looked: I bought this May 2020 (or more accurately: when it arrived at the Fedex truck port and I picked it up). I probably haven't used it more than a half dozen times or so.

Compare to pics when brand new:

More pics taken today, out of the weeds and cleaned up a bit. Top link attachment has been ground down a bit to make it fit my Quick Hitch better: Bottom rub or ground rail, all OEM; note the lack of wear: Scarifiers have been used, but still plenty of life in them: Ready for...

BTT.

" 10 miles from the AL/TN border and I-65." Huntsville AL is the nearest large city; Ardmore TN is the closest small town.

Everything Attachments Land Plane/Leveler, 7' wide. Perfect for maintaining and smoothing gravel roads and parking lots. I don't use it enough, so it's up for sale. Shows signs of use, but in very good condition -see pics. It fits both Cat1 and Cat2 tractors. I can load onto your trailer. 10...

Crappy "Before" pics, but this is how I did my LMV BB to fit my Agri-Supply Quick Hitch: After: In hindsight, I wish I had made the bottom clevis about an inch wider; there was no need for having that little space.
