Best real-world Q/H video! You solved the top link problems quite nicely. Any reason I couldn't weld a filler in the bottom hooks (like you did to the top hook) to avoid the use of bushings? Seems wasteful to have to go out and buy a set of bushings for every implement. Older guy here too, and I'm so done with jockeying implements around to get them to line up with the 3Pt hitch holes. Thanks & God bless.

I was going to do this to my Kioti CK2610 this weekend till I saw my (RED) bank statement. I will try in the next couple of weeks as I need the extra weight when working on a small pond build.

Good information I learning we just bought one

I'm pretty handy but didn't have a clue how to do a proper alignment on my Kubota. Man you are Awesome Dave! I appreciate your sharing.

7 years old and just as relevant in 2024 to a new tractor owner, thanks Dave

I love how easy you make it to understand. This video confirmed my understanding of the ins and outs of a hydraulic system without any doubts. It's great that you didn't complicate things by bringing the spool valves into the lesson, yet touched on it perfectly.

My Branson top link is like a visit to the gym..........manual! Bummer!!!!! BUT darn informative video. I bought the tractor 2 years ago and my driveway looks worst because I don't know diddly about my scraper. This video sure as honey in the pot helps!!!

Dave, I used water hose parts (2 way splitter, barbed fittings, etc) and it worked well, BUT I thought I could get away without the gauge! Boy was I wrong. BOTH my tires came off the bead WITH RV ANTIFREEZE LEAKING OUT. Dude, that was stressful! I thought I was going to lose a bunch on the ground! I put a ratchet strap on quickly, and aired it up, got it back on by some miracle, and was able to finish without much loss. BUT the gauge would have helped me keep an eye on the pressure, and keep SOME pressure in the tire, like 5 psi or so, and that would have helped keep the tire on the rim. Funny, when I did let all the air out initially, and it stayed on the rim, but once I started filling it with fluid and it got some weight in it, the tire then sagged and popped off the rim. I think if I had kept *some* pressure in it, like 5psi or so MINIMUM, then, it might have stayed on. Shoulda listened the first time to my buddy Dave 🙂

How does it work if the switch wires cut. There is no P2 to attach to T3?

Incredible video. So hard to find this info. Thank you so much.

I am a displaced Yankee out of New Jersey that ended up in Kentucky for reasons I won’t go into. Eventually developed an interest in guns, land, and now have a tractor and skid steer. Your videos are informational, inspirational, and have restored my hope in the American spirit.😃

Neil Messick is a gem. Their whole family and operation is world class.👍

Thanks Dave...

I'm currently doing this mod to my old JD 513 Bush Hog to make it fit a HF quick hitch. (got the aftermarket hook) I've got the lower pivot bushings in they work perfect. The upper parts are very similar to the one in this video. Would you still do the upper conversion this way, which makes it work like a modern bush hog pivot, or would you just put chains on it and call it a day? I won't know how well the pivot works until I'm completely done so just thinking about plan B just in case the pivot doesn't work out.

This was an incredibly informative video. Not a minute wasted.

Lookie there at that Redbone!

What brand are the fittings?

Looking for a how-to video. This video is definitely not a how-to video.

I got a daisy shes 18 years old frail but still around..

Excellent story Dave. I agree with the one fella go to local library. They usually do have back issues. Did research that way.

Great video Dave. Flow rate of the hydraulic pump is one of the things people don't seem to fully understand. I see so many people post about sloppy/loose hydraulic cylinders. Most of them don't admit that they were working the hydraulics at low RPM leading up to the issue or that they typically operate hydraulics at low RPM. They also forget that some of their hydraulic flow is sucked up by the power steering. What ends up happening is they get air in their hydraulic lines and need to crack a fitting or two to purge it quickly rather than running high RPM for a long period to let the hydraulic system self purge.

Good morning Dave. I haven’t played pool in so many years, it would be like starting completely over for me. It would be embarrassing.

Very good listen Dave😉👍 enjoyed it, and like mentioned earlier if you can get close on the date the paper was put out you may be able to get copies from a library👍🙏

Great story Dave,I guess Dave does know how 😊😊😊

Dave, I've watched most of your videos, i can honestly say i enjoyed this one the most. I would like to see more like it. I was an old pool shooter myself, so i can relate, or maybe just reminiscing about old times. Looking forward to the next one, thanks for sharing.

Stop by your public library and ask the librarian if they have the newspaper either in scanned files or microfiche. It may cost a couple of bucks to get copies. I’ve done it successfully a few times.

And Now The Rest of the Story. Dave so good to see and hear from you. I've been busy building andd working on my new metal building. I'll eventually get a video out but no big thrill video. I've been getting things done on the land. It's been super hot lately and we need some rain. Hope you're doing okay. Take it easy my brother. Don 👍🏽🤠 05/27/24

sounds like someone is missing their younger self. lol. i know, because im doing the same thing. i miss the days when i worked on the carnival. the women use to throw their pannies at me. now that im old. they throw turds at me. lmao.

That is a GREAT story. Thanks for telling it.

Knows his shit....

Thank you

I have a MF 255 where can I get a hydraulic cylinder for my box blade? Great video, thank you

Nice work!!!

[thank, you for youre helpful video.👍 i, just bought a case 530 diesel Backhoe]👍

Ive drug box blades around quite abit, but after watching this video, and leveling out my box, I feel like Im WAY more effective and efficient. Thanks Dave!!

I’d like to know where you get the adapter that attaches to the valve stem… great videos…😊

Super clear and very helpful! Thank you so much Dave, and one of the best explanations of using box blade controls! Awesome!

I knew id use it Somewhere, one day and this is somewhere one day. My new favorite quote!

Well done Dave!

Thank you. A very good explanation. I just got a finish mower and this gives me a lot of info I needed.

No one sells gravel in 5 gal buckets. This test would be lot better if you made a yard box and see how many loader bucket it takes to fill box, level vs rounded, thats what I want to know.......

I know it’s complicated, but move on. Too slow for me,,

Sure do miss seeing all your videos, hope you both are alright.

Thanks Dave!!

can you remove just the front drive shaft connection to get the oil pan off? or do you need to remove the rear part of the drive shaft and casing first? before the front?

Its just those 3 pins? Does the drive shaft need to be dropped in order to remove the oil pan?

Thanks Dave... Just ran across your video My New Holland T 1530 was hard to get out of four-wheel drive raised the front wheels pushed it right out 4wheel drive no problem... thanks again..

i dont have a bucket and was struggling to understand how to do the rear remotes this video gives me the information i need thanks

Thanks for this great video. I don't fully understand though... I just purchased a 2022 Kubota B2601 and the power beyond port goes directly to the tank. I watched some videos of how to add rear remotes and they just take that line off and utilize it for rear remote spools. But that doesn't seem to line up with this video that always shows the PB going to the 3 point. In my head somehow the power beyond has to have pressure against it otherwise it would just relieve all the pressure in the system going straight to the tank, right? I mean I know that seems right to me but somehow it can't be? Thanks for your help!

Thank you for the video brother! I just bought a Kubota L4060, my first ever tractor, and I’m waiting for delivery any day now. One of my jobs is going to be fixing and maintaining our private gravel road and my neighbors and my driveways. I opted to spend the extra on the factory top and tilt kilt to make those tasks easier. I also got a grading scraper to accompany my box blade but will be starting off with the box blade because the road is in such poor shape and a lot of gravel has made its way down to the bottom of the hill. The tips you have given in this video are really going to help me out to save time and have a better looking end result. God bless you and yours!
