Sorry Willie, nothing personal but you nor anyone else can change the laws of physics and you ain't gettin' no 22 mpg towing a tractor and definitely not 26 to 28 empty. If you could make mods such as that successfully, you need to patent the mods. because this will make you a billionaire.

OUCH! that must've been a surprise for you, hearing and seeing that baby come down!
Having the dozer work done, probably would've made for alot more site clean up work for you at that close proximity to the house - good point.
Yah, the side cutters work out real well - my hoe came with the bucket that had them on it already, so I just take advantage of them where ever and when ever I have a need - Like Tony the Tiger says...I think there great!

True, but when home welding, and even in most industrial purposes, the presets are suitable. I also have found that these types last longer than the "infinitely adjustable" types due to the control mechanisms stripping out.

www.cleancutter.com has them for about $7 a tine. Many guys that sell Yanmars carry them as well, normally around $200 for a complete new set. Occasionally they are on ebay, as previousl;y mentioned, for around $150-$200. The 15 part of the model number stand for 1500mm width.

I wouldn't tackle this unless the generator is designed to be driven by a tractor. Tractors are designed for stationary pto use and over-heating shouldn't be a problem as long as a power ratio around 2hp/kw output is maintained. However, many generators have low oil shut downs for long periods of unattended operation, which is something tractors don't have.<br>
<br>
This power ratio also would ensure that the most generators couldn't lug the engine during peak loads. RPM's fall off when an engine lugs and AC frequency decreases. Lower frequency increases the current through any AC motors. If the generator mains don't pop, AC motors could burn out. As a quick check, 750W is about 3A at 240V. The tractor should have more pto HP than twice the main breaker size divided by three for a 240V generator.<br>
<br>
Getting the speed right could be a problem. Even if the gearing is right, some tractors don't have tachs to set the rpm right on pto speed. I've heard of some people setting the tractor speed by comparing the times of an AC clock running from the generator with that of a battery operated one. Both should have sweep second hands.<br>

Heywheel.com should be able to build you a set of wheels. You might check to see if a 6-12 or a 600-12 (taller than a 6-12) is about the same height. A 12" rim will hit the steering knuckle unless you have the rim built with a fair amount of positive offset. But the wider 600-12 on offset rims would look cool, would give you more stability and you could buy standard tires. Just an idea.

I, and I suspect many other TractorPoint.com readers who have been contemplating the purchase of a tractor, review many of your submitted materials in an attempt to help make the best selection of brand and model most suitable for their situation. Well, thanks to many of you I have now made my decision only to find out that the BX22 is rarer than the preverbal hens tooth. There does not appear to be any available, at least east of the Mississippi. Dealers are begging their Kubota regional reps. for units and can only be considered for one if it is already "retailed". By the way, contrary to earlier postings, Carver in Dunn NC, who offers excellent prices, has been "busted" by Kubota and instructed to discontinue their practice of "long distance sales". This was due to pressure from other Kubota dealers. (Thanks for the lead anyway, they were very helpfull and provided me with valuable pricing information.) Most other dealers I checked in with submitted very high prices and a gloomy prediction for delivery dates. I finally placed an order with my local dealer, Columbia Tractor in Claverack, NY and got a decent price....now comes the wait for a unit to be located and released by Kubota.
THANK YOU all for your postings and making my tractor selection finally happen. Keep up the great work as I continue to "read on" about your experiences, problems/solutions, and hints on how to maximize my use of and enjoyment from my new tractor......if and when I ever get delivery!

I have no idea of the blade structure, But if they are flat enought just turn them over and install up side down. How will the belt tensioner work running backwards in heavy mowing??? Use a heavier spring???

Sounds like a safety interlock. My mid-80's Ford has one for the PTO and one for the transmission. They disable the starter if either are engaged. There usually is a relay in the circuit that also can fail. Newer tractors often have additional safety interlocks. My Ford doesn't have a lift pump so I don't know if typical designs would disable the pump as well as starter. I don't know that a 755 has a lift-pump so I've got to note that a relay will click once.

Typical trouble-shooting procedures are to take continuity tests through the circuits when the pto and tx are disengaged or to jumper around them temporarily for testing. The difficulty is that if you don't know where they are a manual would be required. Maybe somebody here knows the tractor and can describe the switch locations and wiring. You also might try jostling the pto and tx levers in their neutral positions. I had a switch stick once.

AHHHHHH!!!!! The PTO BRAKE. These are truely a pain. I know why they are there BUTTTTTTTT!

On my 4400 JD I ease the pto lever into the run position and bring the throttle up. shutting down I throttle back to idle, here is where you will see your over running clutch at work especially with brush cutter. I then ease the pto lever out of the run position and bring back to the edge of the brake position and finish letting the cutter spin down before bringing the lever into the lock position. I do not think I have missed this procedure with brush cutter yet. But my hat came off under a low branch when I was mowing the lawn. I was on the clutch, brakes and pto all at same time and pto when from full speed to lock in an intant you outta heard the belts squeak then...

Hope this helps. It works for me.

I forgot the about trenching question. I don't know the diameter of pipe or depth needed. I've heard of people using sub-soilers or middle-busters (lister plows) for similar work. They are a little like big scarifiers and I think they can be rigged for one cutter.

I think various width cutters are available for them and they do throw the soil in both directions, which makes sort of a furrow. Sizable rocks in the soil may give them trouble and they may not open a wide enough trench deep enough for the pipe. People also use one bottom moldboard plows. Since I don't have any of these I'd have to use my backhoe or rent a trencher. Rocks also give hoes and trenchers problems.

I am on way to Marks house for breakfast. If I time it right I might get to AC's place just in time for some smoked meat, lol. Cutter, You might well be talking about the metro park right my house adjoins. No joke. We were in the NRA mags and had a lot of articles published about the deer population problem. Sadly all good intentions can go astray when you get politics involved. We had the anti-wildlife folks picketing, which was good for a laugh. It started out as archery only. The problem was no one was really shooting the dog gone does because we had so many enourmous bucks. I literally saw the biggest Buck ever less than 100 yards from my sub. Easily 180+ B/C. So the next year the powers that be decided to include shotguns. IMHOP not the brightest idea in a park. Especially when they didn't bother to notify all of the surrounding homes about the hunt. oops. It finally has been thinned down now we are only about 100% overpopulated for the acerage. It honestly has made a big difference but it is not unusual on the NE corner of the park to see 40 deer out at a time. The deer eating from my bird feeders in my photos are Park deer. I can certainly understand your buddys perspective. As much as I love to hunt I find it a very anti-climatic activeity. If thoose steaks weren't so darn good I proboably would not waste the time. All of the meat here went to food prograns for the needy.
