Kubota L2501DT BH77 VIRNIG URG60-CT 1950 8N WC-68
So I had this idea to make a root cutter for when I am digging a stump or the tripping ones on the trails in my woods. I figured a hydraulic cylinder and some kind of weld up with a cutting edge.
Then I had a flash back to my vol fireman days and our Lucas tool.
So I thought maybe look them up to see how they are built.
Well I ran across this on ebay for $235 to my door so I bought it. About the price of a cylinder.
I flushed it out using the system on the 8n which I have filled with kubota fluid running into a jug both ways a couple times.
A couple hose adapters from Napa and spare hose and couplings I had and I took it for a test drive with a piece about 2-1/2" ash.
I think running it on the L2501 would work best if I could use a 12 volt remote of some sort to switch the 3rd function. it only needs to switch one way as the tool has a defined P port and a T port.
I tested it on the 8n using a string to my loader valve that is used for my power angle on the plow.
I think it might be one of my better ideas rather than loppers and axe method.
