    Grapple Grappling

    Need experience/opinions. I'm thinking about buying a LandPride SGC0660 grapple for my L35. My local dealer has one for $2,500 which seems to be about the going price. He also has an SGC1060 ($4,000), Darrell Harp 60" ($2,500) and Bad Boy 60"? ($?). I've also considered the Titan 60", on sale...

    Shop/Shed 30x60

    I tend to drag things out, so I didn't start this thread 'til now since then the time pressure begins. But, it's progressing and I've made mention a couple of times, so I'm starting this thread. I inherited ~70ac of north Miss hill country 3 years ago. Its all wooded, mostly 7 yo loblolly pine...

    I was at the west TN dealer today snooping around. Thought I had hit the jackpot on a SSQA bucket, but they said it went with a tractor. Dang They had 10 or 12 new tractors, apparently already sold. Among them were these 2 pair, the 2 on one side are M7060's and the 2 on the other side are...

    Carbon Scam

    This should come as no news to any of us. Some of you are probably familiar with it. I'm at the local hangout gas station with my BIL for breakfast. The conversation turned to trees, and one of the guys mentioned a relative getting paid for growing his trees. He gets paid yearly per 'unit' for...

    Roundabouts

    Or rather roundabout signs. I thought about putting these on Daily Chuckle, but didn't want to clutter it. Are roundabouts becoming as widespread everywhere like they are in my little old hometown? I know they've been used across the pond for a long time, and there have been some scattered in...

    Vintage DeWalt RA Saw

    Got a challenge for the geniuses on here. My BIL has an old (mid-50s) DeWalt 14" Radial Arm Saw they use occasionally in his business. Last time I visited, it had just quit starting, it would just oscillate a small amount. He had the original schematic. I cleaned the contacts on the start...

    L35 Third Function

    RaleighL35 posted this thread about adding a section to the Husco backhoe valve to control a hydraulic thumb: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/2003-tlb-l35-bt900-backhoe-hydraulic-thumb.56902/ It started me thinking about doing the same thing to the loader valve to add a third...

    Anybody in north Miss or west Tenn have a 60" or 66" loader bucket with SSQA they'd part with reasonably?

    Hydraulic Hoses TL720

    It seems like more hoses are NLA for my L35's TL720 loader. My dealer said NLA (they did give me dealers that showed to have onesy-twosy's in stock!) and Messick cancelled my order, so I was left to non-OEM. My local NAPA (new owners) quoted over double OEM price, and Advance (formerly CarQuest)...

    L35 TL720 Loader SSQA

    I've decided to convert my L35's TL720 loader to SSQA. I found a NH! dealer about 2 hours away that will order me an ATI Tach-All QA-KU4 with about 4 week delivery. 2 Kubota dealers have been unable to help. Is this my best option?

    FS - Memphis L4760

    If you're in the Memphis area looking for a 4760, there's one on FB Marketplace with loader and cab for $16,500. Not an obvious scam and pretty picture. Claims to be 2018. It was just on my suggested views.

    M7040 Engine Oil

    I'm now the semi-caretaker of an M7040. Needs an oil/filter change. So I went to the WSM to see what the oil requirements are. I was expecting latest diesel class of x viscosity. But there's this note: So I may need to know if the engine has external EGR or not? Did some 7040s have it and some...

    40 ft Span Bridge

    Thought I'd share my bridge project. On our family land, there's about 30 - 40 acres cut off by a running stream that, over the years, has developed 8 to 10 ft high banks. This has prevented equipment access for maintaining trails etc. Maybe 20 years ago, Dad threw a culvert in and covered it...

    Which M7040 am I driving?

    I do a little volunteer work at a horse rescue place. Mostly manipulating manure, but the pastures are getting out of hand so the other day I thought I'd do something about it. They have an M7040 with FEL and brush cutter that I've used a little. My question is how can I tell if it has...
