Wish I could say the same. The way they did the fill dirt for the house, there's this little hill I have to push mow.



I bought a nice Honda self propelled unit and it does really good. I've even mowed the whole yard with it occasionally. It mows better than my riding mower.

 

It's ok....I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone just yet. The screen itself when looking through is no kidding a postage stamp and the fov is too narrow for anyone imho. I would wait another year.

 

Oops.

Changed the battery on the standby generator last week.

Programmed the controller to test run the generator every Tuesday at 11:00 in the morning.

I forgot about am and pm. Wife wasn't happy about the genny starting up at 11 last night.

Easy fix, tho.

 

I've been watching yarbo since their initial crowd funding. We have a pretty steep, slippery driveway. If I knew the robot could handle it, it would be hard not to replace the kioti for snow removal.

 

They have a studded track kit for improved ice traction.

 

Obviously... just told her to quit bitching and go shut it off right?

 

Upgraded the lift cylinders on my JD with a HydrosPlus stage 1 kit for the 3r. kit comes with larger lift cylinders and an upgraded hydraulic pump. Claim is about a 34% increase.
I’ll install the pump this spring.


Not much to show, little size comparison



Finished product

 

Never thought I'd get rid of that blade, but I am. Friend of mine has been wanting one like it so I said I'll try and find you one.

Found one this week, he got me to go pick it up for him since it's closer to my house than his.

It's the same thing with a little better paint. I been wanting to paint mine but haven't.

Since he runs a powdercoat business I ask him was he going to paint the one I picked up for him, he said yes. I said how about just taking mine and I'll keep this one with a little more paint on it. He said fine.

They are the same thing, both 7'. This one is a little newer, it has braces on both sides where the swivel is right under where the Ford decal is.

 

So, upgraded hoses, cylinders and pump...won't overload the attachment points and loader arms? Or is the superstructure the same for multiple weight applications? Wouldn't want to wrinkle any structural tubing.

 

Only 1 way to find out.
I don’t plan to lift max with the new cylinders, just have more when needed. the pump will allow for 2 functions at once and increase the movement speed at lower idle. I think it’s an increase from 9 to 17gpm.
lift cylinders are also in the works with a redesigned bracket.

 

Not sure if one of these has less rust or more paint

 

thats a LOT of gpm increase on a small tractor. are you sure your motor/hp can keep up with 17gpm demand?

asking cause id sure love to have a little more flow. ....

 

I rewatched the video breakdown and maybe closer to 14gmp but an increase over stock. Tractor is 45hp so I’m not concerned. That’s also at WOT. im looking forward to faster FEL movement at lower RPMs. I will update later this spring once installed

 

I finished my little Kubota project last week

 

Looks great

 

Wow that looks amazing

 

Probably wont be a problem if you got a 45hp tractor... It was way under pumped it seems for that flow rate on that kind of HP.

Depending on age of your tractor you might have that hidden adjustable knob for how fast things "drop"... (My tractor has it, but only for the rear)

Faster FEL movement on my tractor is all about rpm's. Then max lifting is all about being at the same RPM level as it takes to run my PTOs at full speed. That's when I get the most speed & lift cap's out of the FEL. Makes sense cause that's when the pump is running optimal.

Do you get squeal/whine? Cause that's a sure sign you aren't turning it at high enough RPMs.

 

No pump noise. Only hydraulic sound is when the pressure reliefs kicks in.
I have the regen on the bucket tilt but not speed control for raise and lower except with engine RPM. I do have rate control for the rear and front 3pts.
