    Building a Ballist box

    If you have a front end loader on a tractor your front axle is almost maxed out empty.Adding weight to the back will take weight off the front axle.Messiks has many good videos on this subject.He put car scales under each wheel and ck/d weight while adding weight to the bucket.

    Building a Ballist box

    This tractor is rated to lift 1200 lbs.??With the box on i have lifted a full bucket of gravel and moved it.I do worry about the rear wheels lifting but the biggest reason is to take the weight off the front axle.My box started as a rear scoop bucket then added 4 100 lbs of barbells on a shaft...

    Yanmar 424

    This has a electric pto engagement.Its only noisey at low rpm kinda goes away at rated rpm 3100 thats up there.The forks i bought are stand a loan not bolt on just like a forklift.

    So far so good on the Yanmar.PTO kinda noisey they say thats normal.??The front end loader is a game changer.I bought a set of forks i like those alot very handy.

    Honda 1000 vs Kubota X900

    Donuts out of the question 12 inches of ground clearance and iam dragging belly in the yard.Plowed snow with a tractor for 40 years do not miss the open station at all.The honda is cabbed in and a heater insulated shirt and a hot cup of coffee.Let the machine do the work beats a shovel any day.

    Honda 1000 vs Kubota X900

    I keep the tranny in the back of my mind while using it.I use it and try not to abuse it.I use the correct oil in the trans seems most put in there what they want and dont read the book no addatives.So i guess i will see if honda did update the clutch issue.

    Honda 1000 vs Kubota X900

    Seems both plow about the same .They both share the same blade.But i will take the Honda shifts so much better plowing snow.Power seems close plowing snow.I dont think the honda is faster then the kubota plowing snow.
