Thats what I needed to hear. My L4701 if its a couple feet proud of wet snow its working hard. Gravel I can flat fill a bucket I moved a lot of it devloping these two properties here but mostly now the big works done. So I will stick with the factory bucket. Once im out there moving snow in a...

life is always interesting for me. I create a lot of my own trauma probably all of it. Yesterday hyped up on coffee I started hunting the solution. Pretty much giving up on the LIKE NEW used tractor. I make my living on broken stuff and rarely see used vehicles that are truly like new. What was...

I forgot to put that its a 2023 so its not old. I think really I was venting when I posted. I was mad to say the least. Theres no inspection that would satisfy my concerns that it’s has or hasnt been ran hot or at least low on coolant and how many times. Fact is it was a big coolant leak...

This tractors for here in the continental US border of Washington and Oregon so its local. Im looking for 45 to 60 HP with a cab. It’s complicated by the fact that I spend less and less time here each year. I buy a new tractor and things change two years from now I may not even be here in the...

My hunt for third tractor continues to leave me flat. I drove 600 miles round trip yesterday to see a 300 Hour l4760 Grand with cab HST asking $38,500 its right at 300 hours. First thought it is exactly what id want in this tractor. But it has had severe neglect I doubt its ever been greased...

Thanks I think your response might have helped me the most mentally. Ive got all these parts ordered but until I see it make enough power to spin on its own im thinking what if. I was really disappointed with this mixer when I first bought it. Probably because it would have been easier to mix it...

Rural Wyoming farm kid here the whole clan used to bottle root beer real sarsaparilla ( had to google how to spell that ) hundreds of bottles in all six houses closets basements and cellars when they started popping it was time to make fresh ice cream and I dont think there was one piece of...

That's what i posted earlier in this thread. Which are the specs I just posted above. given my flow rate at best will only be half what this is rated at 880 RPMs its max RPMs will be around 400 at rated RPMS on the tractor which i will not need. My biggest concern in reality is if it will be...

Unfortunately there isnt a torque range heres an image of what specs are available and judging other motors i think this ones going to be in the right range torque and RPMs at the flow rate i have. Its also a 1” shaft others in this RPM range tend to be 1/2” shafts which concerned me that they...

I’m putting power to the original PTO input shaft on the mixer. It’s the drive gear for a chain drive and greatly reduced gear set probably 7 to 8 to 1 ratio drum speed while it’s been a long time since ive used it i do remember only running the tractors engines speed about 1300 to 1500 rpms...

I have to call and get bolt pattern specs on the motor as there not listed but heres two pictures, something like this if i can find them in the right sizes ? Or build my own. Theres a solid coupler that might be the exact sizes but I have to measure the mixer today it is slightly larger than 1”...

Hadnt thought about that approach but it probably won’t be any more complex to do that.

Thats about what i came up with to. If those specs hold true it should be just right I’ll be able to slow that drum down enough for a decent pour without going into regen but enough RPMS left to mix at a higher speed. Really it doesn’t need to spin very fast don’t want it ripping itself off the...

Thought id update where I am. I suffer from in for a penny in for a pound syndrome. I am in that cement mixer enough money to throw more at it. I have been digging for solutions. I found a hydraulic motor made by dalton first there is no perfect GPM to RPM motor theres a couple that were closer...

Thanks I’ll work this out in my head. Thats what i came up with years ago but my concrete needs here were pretty much done at that point. simple solution is to just bolt a gas engine on it. Theres a towable mixer with a chute that mixes quite a bit at one time for about what all this will run...
