You got to watch that starter fluid. To much and you'll send the head or crank through the block. Eaton mower service burned a entire shop down after a machine caugh on fire from starter fluid. The fire dept. didn't have a chance to save it.

OK Guys, Got a BX 1800 unit, the little brother of the BX 22, it has no tach, but I did install a tiny tach unit for engine RPM's. It max's out at 3400 RPM's. My question is at what RPM is the PTO running at 540? I'm looking at making a rear winch want to determine the pull rate. Question #2. What should be the minimum PTO drive shaft length? Lets say u jiont to u joint. Question #3 what is the maximum angle a PTO shaft can operate at 540 RPM's.

Ok, I just recieved a quote from a dealer on the B7500 and now seeing another model (B7510) that was not listed on Kubota's web site. I am assuming this is the newer model. Should I be looking at the B7510?

Hi Harvey,

Yeah, I'm a little suprised there isn't a forum for this subject here too.

Are you building your splitter from plans or designing it yourself?

Hi Tom,

I found this log splitter plan at Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B0000AXFB3/103-1254200-9186225?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I218GDFI4GT0ID&colid=3I2T1KNQS8QFT

And this book which looks pretty good but is pricey.

I also tend to way overbuild things. I do my work that way too. It's Why I'm not rich by now. ... :-)

I also found this electric powered hydraulic log splitter at amazon. It's around $450. I wonder how good it is. It had generally good reviews except for a couple guys who seemed to have received defective or damaged units.

I wonder why there are no electric (non hydraulic splitters)? Seems like a gear and worm drive set up would work for a splitter. Anyone ever tried this?

I'm for anything that will help this country be less dependant on foreign oil. I've used B2 Biodiesel for many thousands of miles in my Ford Excursion and also F350. With both vehicles, there is a noticable difference in the engine noise at idle (quieter), both vehicles perform smoother, and at least with the Excursion, I'll notice improved economy. I attribute this to the higher Cetane rating of the Biodiesel.

I've also used B2 in my Kubota and Lenar tractors with very favorable results. Less smoke at start-up and under load.

One word of caution with Biodiesel though, my supplier tells me it will gell up much faster than regular diesel. I haven't had that problem, but I run Howes Diesel Treament with every tank this time of year, and haven't been gelled using it ever!

Chip- Tell me more about the Kama tractors. Have they been through the Nebraska Tractor Lab. THis is required of all tractors 40HP or larger before they can be sold in Nebraska. I sell Lenar and could use the availability of a larger line of tractors. Let me know how they price out and what their claim-to-fame is. Thanks! Russ

Thanks for the post on the Titan Multi Trac tires. I appreciate knowing how they perform. I do know that they are being offered on the John Deere 4210's I have looked at. I liked them, and when I discovered I could get them on my Kubota 2910, I was pleased; mainly because they are aggressive, with a tread that is over an inch deep, and spaced so that it is in fact gentle to lawn surfaces, but with enough gripping power, in my opinion, to tackle other terrain as well. I think these tires are going to be very popular..when there are more out there to be noticed. I have some soft ground here, and they are just the thing to have, because the regular turfs are too "wimpy" for snow, that is for sure. The industrials were far too severe for me on the lawns, also..So we will see..Thanks for answering. Good luck with that 7800, it's basically the same tractor as mine, with a few less bells and whistles. My wife has some arthritis and show mows some for me, the telescoping and tilt wheel, and the adjustable more comfortable seat helps her, as she is fairly short in stature. Otherwise? It's pretty much the same tractor in my opinion. Thanks again. Best of luck with it.

Before I purchased my new 7800 I had a 7200DT 4X4 with a 60" mid mount mower. I mowed a lot of steep banks with it going crossways and I never once felt it get a little tipsy. As far as going vertical up a hill mowing, I mowed several steep hills such as that and just put it in 4 wheel drive and it climbed right up the hill and never felt like it was going to tip. I was surprised at how well it took steep banks. The rear mount mower would probably be better going vertically on hills but the mid mount mower is better going horizontal. Just remember to be smart when mowing around hills as one bad judgement call could be costly.

I had the same problem and decided to rent a mini excavator
when I need it, Like you said when your all landscaped, it
won't get much use. For 3-5 grand You could hire a machine
and operator for quite a few hours. I have rented the mini's before and they are quicker,reach further,and most have a handy blade on them. Here in maine I can rent a fairly new Cat mini for 175.00 for the wknd. delivered and picked up.How can you beat it?

I know this post is old, but thought I'd offer a couple of comments. Chinese tractors are not reconditioned in Viet Nam but some of the grays are, (yanmar is a gray). Being Japanese the grays are probably built to closer tolerance and therefore considered to be of higher quality than Chinese tractors (at least when they were new). The Chinese tractors that are becomming so popular, are typically sold new. The importers have access to parts usually directly from the factory. The grays are hindered somewhat in this regard as contracts with various "US Brands" prevent the facotry support of the gray market tractors. I agree with lsheaffer that the quality of reconditioning of grays can be questionable. Also they usually lack customary safety equipment (ROPS and PTO shields, etc.) The advantage the Chinese offer in the same price category is a new tractor with uninhibited availability of spares (usually at very reasonable cost). We looked at selling grey market and decided on the Chinese. Weve had good success so far. As posts from users will show, they are a decent product at a great price. Just my 2 cents!

Gotcha, Billy. I didn't think about "vent-free" when I read it. There are no combustion by-products to worry about?

I bought my 2810 4 years ago with an allied loader for $9000.00 from NH/Ford dealer. All servicing was also done prior to delivery (approx. $500.00 worth). It had 2200 hours, and was mechanically sound, but had sat out in the weather often. I am very pleased with this tractor and use it approximately 100 hours per year.
