    Backhoe Dolly Failure. Is your dolly wood or metal?

    I’ve not used my backhoe in a year or more and the wooden backhoe dolly has collapsed on one caster. I guess the wood isn’t strong enough, one caster collapsed. Time to rebuild. Curious about member experience with wood or metal dollies? I was able to get the backhoe onto my tractor with a...

    B7100hst suddenly won’t crank or start?

    Looking for troubleshooting sequence. My B7100hst was starting and running fine yesterday. Today it won’t even turn over. I checked battery voltage and it is at 12.5V, terminals are clean.

    Upgrade land pride gs0548 into a gs1548

    I got a “good deal” on a used Landpride gs0548 landplane. The guy I got it from felt he bought the wrong implement for his gravel drive and after using it I have to agree! This model has a problem! The blades are set at a very aggressive 1.5” below the skids. They are welded in place so you...

    B7100hst PTO and proper operation of implements with spinning inertia.

    Please advise me on PTO implements with flywheels that keep spinning. Specifically a chipper shreader. Engaging is no problem, I disengage the clutch, shift the PTO, and release the clutch. Then I rev the engine to PTO speed and go to work. When I stop, the flywheel is at full speed so I lower...

    Merry Mac TPH 123m Chipper Shredder

    Just want to post on my new/used chipper/ shredder. Southern New Mexico has many Pecan Orchards. I found a farmer with a too small chipper for his full-on farm, but just right for my small acreage. My B7100 in a perfect match for this unit. I had to replace the PTO shaft shield and I added a...
