I am looking for a simple solution to my grapple needs. I have a Kubota B7610 24 hp tractor with the standard hydraulic set up. I would like some sort of grapple to pick up and transport branches (see photo below) preferably without having to install additional hydraulic plumbing as I do not...

My backhoe levers are in need of lubrication as they squeak and are more resistant to movement than they should be. The manual only mentions lubrication of the zerks, but does have an illustration of the control area. I would think that it would just be a matter of taking off the cover and...

I know that I have seen this before, but I am too lazy to search for the answer. The throttle on my B7610 us difficult to rotate, even more so than when it was new (it has always been a bit sticky). How can I lubricate it or adjust it so I can smoothly increase the throttle? Bonehead

I have never been able to figure out why, on NTT, there is no check next to the thread title on threads where I have posted. These checks are there on FF, NCT, and NCS. Anyone know what is going on? Bone

I am going to be helping my friend move some dirt tomorrow and need to get my tractor over to his house. We have not been able to borrow a trailer, so I thought I could just drive it there (he lives about 1.5 miles away). I am not concerned about the hazards, but want to know if the road will...

Found a great source of fill dirt on friday on the way back to the station. Had 25 yards delivered to my house (my partner had over a hundred delivered to his, his wife was not pleased). Got some major seat time yesterday moving some of the dirt to my back yard to patch large areas for...

Made the last payment on friday, it's all mine now! Celebrated today with seat time, although only a few minutes worth. Planted two apple trees with the wife and kids using the backhoe. Could have easily done it by shovel, but we all wanted to use the tractor. Can't wait until it dries out a...

I did my customary 10 hr greasing of the backhoe after work today. Seems like everytime I grease the BH I discover a fitting I swear I have never seen before. I'm not sure if other BHs are similar to Kubota in this way, but some of the joints to be greased have 2 separate fittings. Greasing...

My neighbor just finished bush hogging his 4 acres of tall grass and it looks great. It appears that he used the "zamboni method" by circling the field a couple of times and then splitting it into two side by side ovals. Never having used a bush hog, I was wondering how one would cut the long...

I started a summer project last week to clear approx 3/4 acres of forest to the north of my house. "Clear" isn't exactly the right word as I will be leaving some old 2nd growth stumps and substantial trees. Most of the material to be cleared consists of ferns, downed trees and branches, berry...

I am going back on 24 hour shifts starting tomorrow which means that I will have more time to doing projects here at my hacienda. One project that I am really looking forward to starting is the selective clearing of approx an acre (selective means to leave the "substantial trees" and clear out...

Came home early from work yesterday sick. Seems like no one wants a sick person around! So here I sit at home, tractor at the ready, but feeling too crappy for seat time (and that is saying something). How frustrating! Bone
