Looks like you still need to even out your cylinders.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your tractor, what were you working it hard on?

 

I'd rather go out for pizza with you and your wife, you're tough on tractors!

 

Well, the warranty is definitely gone now.

 

Maybe for that part, maybe the curl cylinders, but everything else would be covered.

 

Yes. There is some "adjustments" that need to be done in the future. But for now it works. I just put it to work for an hour digging a rock and two smaller stumps out. Then back filling and back dragging. Working good.

 

Try to scrape down some brush in an area where there was too many stumps and stones for brush hogging. I found more of both.

When brush hogging an area that is new or unknown what's in there I use Grapple on front of tractor and put it close to ground. So I find the stumps or stones with Grapple and not brush hog.

This area I had found too many so I left and put bucket on and went to installed two culverts on a trail I wanted to get done first.

Then I returned to this area and figured I would use bucket to scrape the brush right off the ground. Usually works pretty well, if careful.

Somehow the pin on left side of quick attach came out and oh s h i t!

 

That should happen soon! I'll be getting in touch with ya!

 

What do ya mean?

I needed the tractor working. That's it. And he made it happen. That's what he does. I'll call Woodchop Shop tomorrow and tell them it's done. They didn't get back to me today.

I am already noticing, again, the difference between construction grade tractors and agricultural tractors. But with the agriculture tractors you can get agricultural tires! They have saved me soooo many times already.

Mustremindselfitisnotabull dozer!

 

So he did not cut it all the way through or apart. He realized if he just cut it in the right places to weaken it he could then get it back into position and weld it back once there. Seems to work well.

 

Bingo!

 

That being an expensive piece of equipment, if anything electrical goes wrong and you try to warranty it, im sure someone who knows a thing or two is going to blame the welding that was done to the tractor had some type of ill effect on the electrical components. Lots of amperage gets used when welding things.

Theres all kinds of things that can go wrong when doing it.


Cool ya got er fixed, now go out and tear it up some more, lol carnage is nice to look at.

 

The entire quick attach was removed from the tractor when fixed. Cut so it could bent back into place, fitted, then braced, and removed again to be welded. Nothing should be wrong with the electrical system.

 

The tractor dealer still hasn't even called me back about the quick attach. No price, no offer to do this or that.

 

that's a huge unlike!

 

Nice to see you back in action Gasifier ! I know I would be lost without my tools on a vacation. Actually going away for my next one so will be a nice change. Mind you my brother in law and I will be doing some work on their new place so not a complete relaxation vacation.

 

and my point is, try explaining that to the company you are filing a claim with and getting them to believe it.

 

Gotcha. Well, everything worky good now. I'll be hoping for the best, and problem solving for the rest.

 

don't know about the mahindra.. but Kubota or KTAC was is fantastic.. some how pushing snow (my Lil btother) had an ice chunk knock oil pan drain off.. your right drained oil and blew motor with less than 300 hours I called insurance and told them with little hope .. yup call dealer you want YOUR covered... I think it was a 12,000 bill they covered all but about 800 500 deductible and 300 or so depreciation.. my tractor is still covered for about 250 premium a year!

 

Freakin thing seems like a beast.


I wish i had some property i could use a tractor like that on.
