    Help I broke my tractor in half!!!

    :wtf:If you had read the thread yould know that the bolts in question were under covers and not exposed for inspection without disassembly. How often do you drop your oil pan and check the bolts on the rods and mains? After all some may be loose or missing. Hint - you dont have to if the engine...

    Help I broke my tractor in half!!!

    Yaaay!.... :respect:Somebody had to say it. Again,I think. But the thread continually seems to lose focus on that truth and to cast tentative aspersions on the OP for using the tractor to do work. :Mickey: larry

    Hydraulic wood splitters

    I would not agree with best. My horizontal home built is much better appointed ergonomically than is a H/V splitter when its being used horizontally. Certain trade offs are made in allowing both positions, and they impact mainly on convenient horizontal use. Vert option would be nice, but its...

    3 pt log splitter, DIYS?

    Usually a 30 hp tractor will not have a pump with more than around 9GPM capacity. It would take about 1/2 your engine power to produce that flow at 2500psi, and they have to leave something over to do other things with the tractor while you are using the hydraulics. With 2500 psi hydraulics...

    mahindra 7010 cab tractor

    I understand how you feel as I have had problems with Mahindra that could be described identically. I actually think tho, that if you go looking for their heart to pluck it out you would find it in the right place. :shitHitsFan: The problem is getting attention and follow thru. Much more energy...

    New project - 4WD Articulated Tractor

    The side thrust force multiplied by the radius of the wheel is what concerns me. This force applied inward or outward on the tire contact causes a pretty large bending torque on the motor shaft at the bearing. The problem would be more and more severe as you went to bigger diameter wheels...

    New project - 4WD Articulated Tractor

    Thats straight radial weight isnt it? What about axial thrust and bending torque on the shaft causing it to bow on side hill type work? larry

    3-point quick hitch

    Its the same item. They are just sorting them to avoid consumer complaints due to the wrong width. :shitHitsFan: Chinese manufacture variability is large. Buy the cheaper one and bend it to fit. Its not hi grade steel. larry

    Canopy Lights

    Basic things on a diesel tractor can be pretty limited. Like maybe 1 Amp to hold the fuel cutoff open. I guess we could double that to cover other stuff for sure. So, about 2A against the 45A alternator rating. So lets say we have 30A for lights to leave a comfort margin. That is six 60W lights...

    Canopy Lights

    yeah, but it wont have anything to do with the alternator. The problem is too much loss in wiring or switches. A digital voltmeter will tell you. Connect the leads from the point power is going into a component, wire, switch, connector, etc. to the point where it is coming out of that component...

    Seat belt - use it?

    Yeah, but mine wont go as slow as yours. First gear is too fast, even at lo idle, to be pushing trees over. Know what you mean about lightening it up. Mines real peppy since I drained the tires for the winter. Figure that lightened it near a ton. I dont know how your quote got associated on...

    Inconvenient Thermometers

    Yeah, gotta watch for mistakes like that. Somebody must be because published warming figures are much lower than the projected errors would indicate. I suspect corrective action is being taken. larry

    Seat belt - use it?

    It would be fair to the discussion to know how these people were killed. For all we know they dived of the low side under the ROPS. A seat belt would have saved them because they couldnt have unlatched it in time. But so would have huddling down and clamping onto the steering wheel. I have...

    Tractor usage

    If you have enuf money you dont get into a habit working for others. Life is short. Work for those who are special and for yourself. Being satisfied is good. I am retired and work a 2d/wk technical job to maintain my level of solvency. The rest of the time is mine to maintain and improve the...
