    Dirt Dog vs Iron Craft 6' Box Blade?

    I very much agree. I'd buy a Dirt Dog or IronCraft locally, so I can check them out first. It appears the Everything Attachments is only available direct from EA. I like the looks of the EA, but it's pricey. They do have free shipping, but only to a business address or a shipping dock. There's...

    Dirt Dog vs Iron Craft 6' Box Blade?

    The both claim to be QH compatible, and I have both a Landpride and a Speeco QH. I've been using the Speeco lately because I don't like buying the adapters for the Landpride. But if it doesn't work with the QH, it's going back :)

    Dirt Dog vs Iron Craft 6' Box Blade?

    Thanks. Yah, I'm happy they changed their name. I bought my rake when they were still Titan Implements, and I wasn't really aware of the difference. Later I found out, and was pleased I didn't wind up with some Titan Attachments garbage. I like that IronCraft is made in Decatur, TN, and that...

    Dirt Dog vs Iron Craft 6' Box Blade?

    Being less expensive doesn't necessarily make it cheap. Some brands are overpriced and some brands are undervalued. I'm looking for an actual comparison, not a "It's cheaper therefore it must suck" shot from the hip evaluation.

    Dirt Dog vs Iron Craft 6' Box Blade?

    I'm needing to get a box blade for my L4701, and I'm looking at the Dirt Dog SBX72 and the IronCraft 3206. The IronCraft is about $250 less expensive, and I'm wondering if I'm giving up anything going with them. I do have an IronCraft landscape rake that's done well. A local dealer also carries...

    High quality 12V fan for ROPS?

    I ordered a 14" from Summit and a speed controller from Amazon. We'll see how that works. The 14" is around 1500 CFM, which is probably a tad much, but we'll have to see. If the CFM is too high or a 10" fits better, I'll order one. I know Ventrac and the expensive ROPS fan kit someone mentioned...

    High quality 12V fan for ROPS?

    I've been searching for a high quality 12V fan to mount on the ROPS, something in the 6" to 8" range. I need it to be relatively water resistant in case I get caught in the rain (tractor is stored in a covered area). While not a deal breaker, 2 or 3 speeds would be nice, although I'd probably...

    How common are broken SSQA pins?

    It looks like on the Kioti tractors that they put the grease fitting on the end of the pin. It's recessed to protect it. This seems like it should be less prone to breaking, and still leave the Zerk fitting protected.

    How common are broken SSQA pins?

    OK, it failed the same way mine did, shown in the first picture.

    How common are broken SSQA pins?

    Are you saying in split down the center long ways?

    How common are broken SSQA pins?

    Why I don't disagree, there's no way Kubota will do that under warranty. Except for recall items, it's only warrantied when they actually fail. This was the first time I've had any warranty work done on it. If another one fails, I'll replace it myself. They're about $24 online, and that's...

    How common are broken SSQA pins?

    No. I did finally end up talking to the shop tech, and they think it was a manufacturing defect in the pin itself. I also haven't run the FEL very hard. I mostly use forks or a litter bucket for moving stuff around, and nothing so heavy that I've ever had the hydraulics go into bypass.

    How common are broken SSQA pins?

    I had the lower left SSQA pin split in the center on my LA765 on a L4701HST. I found it when I went to do a 10 hour greasing. It was covered under warranty, but I'm curious about is this common, unusual, or totally unheard of? The service center guys weren't much help.

    Anyone installed a L7221A rear hydraulics kit on a L4701HST?

    Where'd you find that? I was looking for anything related to the kit, but pretty much came up empty.

    Anyone installed a L7221A rear hydraulics kit on a L4701HST?

    Yeah. Except for man-handling the tire, looks time consuming but pretty straight forward.

    Anyone installed a L7221A rear hydraulics kit on a L4701HST?

    I'm looking at adding a rear hydraulics kit on my L4701HST for a flail mower with hydraulic side shift. I haven't found any videos or articles of anyone doing a self-install on one yet. I know there are other kits, so searching by the part number may be a little too specific. Has anyone done...

    QH15 and Titan Implement 5107 Landscape Rake

    I bought a Titan Implement (not to be confused with Titan Attachements) 5107 84" landscape rake today. It claims to be Quick Hitch compatible, but it's not QH15 compatible. It looks like it could be modded to work with a little cutting and welding (I'm good at cutting, not so good at welding)...

    Land Pride RTA1274 vs Dirt Dog RT206 widths

    The RTA1274 is right in line for the L4701, with a HP min/max of 25/50. Indeed, for a 1266 or smaller, it would be too much. The overall width of the 1274 is 79 3/8", which is about 5 inches wider than the sidewall to sidewall distance of the tires. In my case, narrow spaces are fortunately not...

    Land Pride RTA1274 vs Dirt Dog RT206 widths

    I have a L4701, and the width of the outside tread of the rear wheels (not the sidewall to sidewall width) is 70 1/2" inches. I really want a Land Pride RTA 1274, but they're next to impossible to find in the Southeast. The 1274's end plate to end plate distance is 74", which I assume is also...

    L4701 seat rattles my brains, any remedies?

    Good catch :) Thanks!
