EA 55" Grapple, 54" bucket, LP 48" forks, homemade hyd. PHD & Wolverine tree spade. I'm not sure how I sprung them in the first place, but my gues is an uneven load or overload. I'm a lot more careful to be sure that the load is pretty even side-to-side.

Recently had my annual service at my dealer. Last time, I had them work on my SSQA adapter, since the fingers that catch the top of the SSQA attachments were twisted. They cut the round connecting rod (between the fingers, straighteneed the fingers and re-welded it. That held for a while, but...

Hi - Just got my machine back from annual servicing at my dealer. As working regen was occasionally hanging (1+ hr) and then would begin the next time I started, they recommended replacing the panel (Kubota picked up the parts cost). Given that the hybrid electrical-mechanical system is the...

Hi Chris - RTFM is not the warmest of welcomes to a newbie, but it's really important - the potential for injury or fatality grows exponentially when you move from a small lawn tractor to a machine like yours. It's worth studying the manual as soon as you can. That being said, congrats on your...

I've got an EA 55" Claw Grapple which I use with a B3350. As I don't have experience with a long bottom tine models (root, rock, skeleton), I can share that I'm pleased with with the claw design. As other posters have said, you just have to develop your grapple skills - including curling and...

Am considering a tractor update. Wondering if I can use my RC72-30B MMM on a new LX4020? The MMM listed on the LX4020 build-my website is a RC72-40LX.

I'm coming in late to this thread, but can empathize with your frustration - with the attachments you have listed, shop time is a poor substitute for quality bota time and knocking things off your project list. I've got a B3350 - the precursor to your model. The B3350 is notorious for DPF...

A couple years ago I bought a pair of magnetic side mount rear view mirrors on Amazon. I got them for when I drive on the road and would remove them when not on the road so I don't destroy them. After a few months, when removing one I dropped it on the concrete floor and broke the mirror. Have...

First time out photo - 1/2 of the sycamore log

I bought an Everything Attachment Wicked 55" rake grapple - received it a few months before they went through their legal troubles, so I was lucky on the timing. My B3350 is close to what you have and I've been very pleased with this purchase. Per previous replies, weight of the attachment is...

Using it the 2nd time, there was enough pressure that I broke the pvc valve handle trying to open it. Gave it a re-think and decided that the valve was unnecessary - whole purpose of this is to eliminate pressure buildup. Also moved the pieces around so it's easier to connect to sleeved hoses...

nbryan - what a great idea - retractible cuffs for bad weather and dirt!!

Update from OP. I didn't ghost this thread - just got sidetracked with other things and haven't used any hydraulic attachments since putting the pressure relief contraptions in place. Needed to use the hyd. PHD today, so opened the drain valve and about 1/4 cup of oil came out. Was able to...

Yike$$$$. 3 sets would be more than my annual diesel & beer allowance.

My photo with the grapple wasn't that clear - the assembly connects to both loose ends, but I"ll drain it, remove it and connect the hoses before taking the the machine out to work. The assembly isn't in the way of picking up the attachments with the FEL quicktach. Hope that makes more sense.

Sorry for the delayed update - got sidetracked on some other things. Had some parts in my parts jar and picked up the rest from the local hydraulic shop. Hardware store just had pvc valves - if they blow out, I'll upgrade to metal ball valves. Photo 1 shows components, photo 2 shows assembled...

It's nice & hot which means the hoses on attachments are pressurized and tough to connect to the tractor. In other threads, it seems that if you connect the 2 hoses on the implement to each other when you take it off the tractor, the pressure is less or not a problem. My attachments are...

SUCCESS!! Before moving forward, I called my dealer to make sure that this wouldn't fry the ECM and he confirmed that it wouldn't - thanks to NI Wolfman for the caution. Temporary battery to solenoid terminal jumpstart worked. With a little more patience and a lot less sun, this time I...

Thanks Russell - that's exactly what I was looking for. Access was tight when I jumpered the big terminals the other day and visibility was challenging - even with a flashlight due to the sunshine. Weather permitting, I'll give it a try tomorrow. If I can get to that terminal, I may just run...
