    CAT 277B Panel Lights Not Working

    A few months ago I was having some electrical issues (I was melting batteries and the machine wouldn't start). Long story short, it was a bad alternator.

    I bought this machine about 2 months ago and it ran great. About 2 weeks ago I got into it to do some work and it was dead.

    Accommodate disability with skid steer controls

    I'm contemplating buying a skid steer. I don't have a left arm, thus I can't use a left joystick. A Kubota mechanic modified my Kubota KX04-4 mini-excavator moving the joystick controls to the floor. All of the stock hydraulics were used, with only one hose requiring an extension. It works well...

    Has anyone here made their own sod cutter?

    We have an 18" ryan sod cutter from 1988 thats a push behind but sometimes I think about modding one of our skidsteer buckets and adding a blade and roller to take out more faster. It'd save so much time and money. Has anyone done anything like this?
