    Front and rear chains too much stress on drivetrain? Twist over v-bar?

    a friend ran only front chains for years on his Kubota for years. i guess the chains increase the diameter of the front tires a bit and might strain the full time four wheel drive but you are driving on snow, the drivetrain will give a little

    Front and rear chains too much stress on drivetrain? Twist over v-bar?

    I have a JCB Backhoe. Worried about Side wall to Frame clearance. No one seems to be talking about that. It looks close . I'm a bit nervous about ordering chains and not being able to use them . These guys http://www.unionfarmequipment.com/pages/CustomCatalog/Product/3191810

    What do you all do for music in a noisey machine?

    Before you jump on me for listening to music and not minding my work... My tractor is for private use on my land NOT a business. I've been putting in 6 hour days getting the land in order.. many more hours to go. The tractor has no radio. Not really interested in Radio but I like music and...

    ISO 16028 Flush Face connectors impossible to connect.

    E-mailed Both addresses... ZERO response. I wish they had a bit close shots of the tool, I'd make one myself. A solid rod with teeth. As you press the handle down there is a bracket that catches the teeth and at that point it forces the rod into a hollow pipe. But there must be some...

    yup. found that. When I hit 'Send' I get a pop up. it's in another language so I'm not sure if it's saying "thank you your message is sent" Or "Go away you stupid American" I hope it got sent. thanks Graham

    When you first gave me the URL I went and looked for an E-mail. They only seem to have Dealerships and they have phone numbers not e-mail addresses. I will go back and look again.

    Great answer. I'm new to this Tractor game and totally a novice in the world of Hydraulics. Makes sense Yes the entire valving comes off with the Hoe so . yeah, the pressure only goes that far, I didn't think of that. We will see how that goes.. I do not need to get the hoe off for the...

    ISO 16028 Flush Face connectors impossible to connect.

    That is correct. My Backhoe Uses it's outriggers to lift it off the Tractor bracket, then the Hoe rests on the outriggers and Hoe making a tripod. Seems to me you can't relieve pressure when the Pistons are holding the entire Hoe assembly up.

    Looked on many 'Attachment ' websites.. Can't find anyone that sells this tool here in the USA. The Website that sells the tool has many countries to pick from for a dealer.. no American flag in the selection. Bummer

    Delmar.. good thought, I will try and leave the Bucket open a bit so the cylinders are slightly closed. Graham1 I wonder if I can buy that here in the States. Thanks to all for the fundamental reason I'm having the problem... no room for expansion Not a big fan of cracking the connectors...

    ISO 16028 Flush Face connectors impossible to connect.

    Thanks guys. I have two spare connectors, I guess I will attach the connector for a second and hopefully that will relieve the pressure. Makes sense except for an issue I will have with my removable Backhoe. It's supposed to lift off using the Bucket and outriggers as a tripod. I use the...

    ISO 16028 Flush Face connectors impossible to connect.

    Guys what is the secret with these "Non-Spill" connectors? New to this game so I'm sure there's an answer. Got a 4 in 1 Front loader bucket. For my JCB MIDI CX works fine, disconnected it the other day and now I cannot get the connectors to mate. Apparently the Pressure is too great in the...

    JCB 212S Brakes

    Just jumped into a 2007 JCB 520-50 at work that has the same "no brakes, then lock up" I mentioned it to the guys and they say it was always like that. It can't be right. Just recently the Low Brae Pressure light came on... Okayyyyy, what does that mean?
