    Ballast counter weight for claw grapple

    You need to consider the weight of the grapple in addition to what it picks up. According to the lift capacity the wolfman says you have you would be about halfway there with the blade. You could add another 300 lbs to that and be on target. I have a 500+ lb box blade I added 300 lbs of...

    Ballast counter weight for claw grapple

    If you don't have any other ballast like loaded tires or wheel weights a good rule of thumb is to match the capacity of the loader. If the loader will pick up 1200 lbs stick as close to that on the back as you can.

    Emissions delete kits??

    TSB-2023-044-E-R1 replaces 3 pressure relief valves in the transmission. Your B2650 was included but you are probably out of the coverage timeline. They only cover it for 5 years after the in service date. IF you ever reported the problem to a dealer and have record of it you might get them to...

    Emissions delete kits??

    THANKS! I have all of the LX3310 TSBs but didn't connect the dots on this one. For some reason it has stopped smelling bad but I will keep this in mind if it starts up again. My serial number is within the range listed on this one. I just had the jerky motion TSB performed and it made the...

    Landscape Rake wheels

    Look at the design of the ignite rake. If your tines connect to the top surface those wheels will not connect as shown. You may be able to flip the mounts and still use them? I had no problem with the durability of the Titan set. Just problems getting them to ship complete. I also didn't...

    Landscape Rake wheels

    That Tine Rake set attaches differently. They would not fit my rake. Make sure it looks compatible with your rake design.

    Landscape Rake wheels

    The set I bought were from Pallet Forks dot com also. They were painted yellow back then. It's been several years so maybe they have improved their packing and shipping department. The rake wheels weren't the only problem I had with them. My first order from them was a pack of bucket teeth that...

    Landscape Rake wheels

    This is how the package arrived on my third attempt to buy from them.

    Landscape Rake wheels

    No I might use or repurpose them some day. I did modify the attachment when I rebuilt my landscape rake to make them connect further back from the rake.

    Landscape Rake wheels

    Good luck getting them. I bought a set from them when they were much less. The first set arrived with half the parts missing. The second set the box fell apart in route and never made it. The third set had parts sticking out of the box when it arrived but by some miracle all the parts were...

    Bad Welds?

    Most loaders I've seen are designed with the torque tube passing through both arms and welded on both sides. Cutting holes in the arms may weaken them if the tube wasn't welded in but the tube should add that strength back and then some. Plus it gives you a handy hole for a rake or shovel handle. ;)

    Bad Welds?

    The tube on my LA535 loader passes all the way through and is welded on both sides. Same design on my JD loader. Hard to believe they butt welded this tube. Kubota should recall these loaders and make them right.

    what do you weekend warriors use for tractor insurance?

    Homeowners will include personal liability to a set amount. Farm Bureau says any lawn equipment is covered by my home owners but I would have to provide serial numbers, descriptions, and values for any tractors or implements. If anything happens to the bota I'm gonna claim it's lawn tractor...

    Any Dealer Techs or Parts people on here?

    There are probably thousands of owners out there living with this problem because the TSBs aren't shared freely and they don't know about the free fix. These should be just as available as recall info. According to the TSB it covers ALL of the LX3310 models. No serial number break like some...

    leaking hydraulic cylinder

    Is it leaking at the fitting on the head end where you have the cup under it? If so you may be able to just tighten the fitting or replace the o-rings. If it's leaking around the rod you will have to take it apart and measure the rod seal inside the gland. I have had good luck with 0rings and...

    Any Dealer Techs or Parts people on here?

    Yeah the inside cover by the steering was covered in dirt from the mechanic rubbing against it and the bottom valves were wet with oil. I dried the oil off as soon as I loaded it on my trailer and so far it doesn't seem to be leaking. Hopefully it will remain dry and working properly. The whole...

    Any Dealer Techs or Parts people on here?

    The service advisor did come through with the assembly instructions. Access to the upper valves were under the cab floor which explains the new scratches in the tunnel area. Not a big deal. It was an $800+ service I didn't have to pay for. It does require draining the transmission fluid...

    Ford Pro Trailer Assist

    I don't have that feature on my 2013 F150 but the center line on the back up display and the zoom feature allows me to get dead on under the ball of the trailer. On mine when I get close with the black line lined up with the ball I can touch the top left of the screen to zoom in and eliminate...
